New York Evening sun.

Pickering was Of opinion that Wash
ington had two qualities which pecu-
liarly fitted him for statesmansmp-"the
faculty Of concealing his own senti-
intnt and OF discovering those OF other
men" But he made certain ri,les for
himself from which he never swetNSd.
One was that he would never promise
an office. When Benjamin Harrison, an
esteemed friend solicited public place
Washington wrote 10 him; IL VIII go
to the chair under no Encouragement
Of any kind or nature whatsoever IN
his appointments the first President
aimed to obliterate party lines and en-
llst the best talent OF the country.
Sometimes he had a pernonal dislike for
the men selected, but he was satisfied II
they proved competent.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
New York Mail and Express.

A wise man has observed that there
are two modes Of establishing ones
reputation-to be praised by honest men
and to be abused by rogues. Washing
ton had the advantage OF both such
praise and such abuse. But the abusing
rogues were the exceptions. industrious
aad yoluble exceptions, but still excep-
lions. The great mass OF his country
men. ever since he became a prominent
public figure, have venerated him. In
their eyes he seems citizen OF the
Hottest and rarest type, high-minded.
resourceful, interchangeable, constantly
alive to his tremendous responsibilities,
and manfully discharglng them in the
fear Of the Lord. without ever taking
thought for the things which make for
the furtherance Of personal ambition.

ABOUT LENT.

Il may not be without interest TO the
readers Of the News TO learn how
Lent is observed In the Catholic world.
Originally the season was kept by total
abstinence from all food during the
days Of fasting, frequent attendance at
public worship and the Sacrament. and
the cessation Of public amusements
especially theaiers, balls and social
functions.
For the proper observance Of the sea-
son set OF rules have now been pro-
mulsated in All Catholic churches. They
provide that the use OF flesh meat is
allowed once a day only. on Mondays,
Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays,
except the Saturdays IN Ember week
and Holy week. The use Of meat on

With grateful hearts, every true
American today recalls that fearful
winter Of '56 when Washington and his
half-staryed and half-clad soldiers
stained with their naked and bloody
feet the SHOWS OF Valley Forge. And
under those circumstances and condi-
tons. serving his country without pay
and without reward, We find Washing

Mr.. Salisbury says George Washing
ton was great because he didn't talk to
the newspapers. lie didn't have many
chances To find newspaper man in
those days you had to make a long
journey with a coach and four, and
when you got where the newspaper was
occasionally published you were not so
sure Of finding the publisher II IL was
dinner time or the fish were biting, he
was having something better to do than
get news. And one man 10 paper

Washington and Lincoln, no parallel

/, The following is a statement from
the teamsters relative to the progress
of the settlement Of a wage scale now
pending between the coal operators
and teamsters: fl
.The teamsters having met with a
majority of said operators as per call,
Tuesday evening, and failing to get an
agreement, it was decided at "a joint
meeting that the operators should
meet Thursday evening" for the pur-
pose of settling the differences then
existing between themselves and the
steamsters, and then said operators
were to meet the teamsters at Labor
hall, FRIDAY evening. But, with the
exception of Mr.. Lumsdon and Mr..
FISCHER, they failed to put in an app
pearance, and the conditions remain
about the same asAthey were at the
commencement. Bit with a hope for
an adjustment and. for the good of the
general public, operators and team
sters. we kindly extend an invitation
TO all said operators to meet us, the
teamsters, at Labor hall, Tuesday af-
ternoon, March ~, for the purpose Of

THE MORPHINE ROUTE.
A Cherokee Indian Tries TO Commit
Sutcfdes


Saturday afternoon about 4 O'Clock
jim Shelton, said to be full blood
Cherokee Indian, took a dose of NOR
phine with suicidal intent. It is said
that Shelton became enamored with a
likely looking colored girl who resides
close to the Santa Fe depot, but who
showed entirely too much preference
for dashing colored buck to suit
Jim's idea of true love. Accordingly,
it is said, he procured 4 small quanti-
ty Of morphine of an East End drug
store, and swallowing the drug began
10 boast that it would not be long
until he was with his fathers in the
happy hunting ground. Patrolman
Pasnau, it is said, was called to waken
the Cherokee up, but for once the club
failed to work and DR.. Russell was
summoned. An emetic was admins
tered and jim is now on the road to
recovery. Dr. Russell says that in all
probability the dose was not large
enough to induce the long sleep that
knows no waking, yet the division line
was very thin and had the Cherokee
been left alone he might now be hunt
ing phantom buffalo.

The total number of hogs received
at the packing house of John Morrell
& Co. for the week ending last night,
was $4,000 against $500 last week. and
10000 the week preceding that. The
big increase was due primarily to the
fact that the country roads We're in an
improved condition, and the farmers
were enabled to get to market. There
is a continued fair movement of hogs.
Western packing represents total of
100000, compared with 100000 the pre-
sceding week, and 100000 two weeks
ago. For corresponding time last year
the number was 355,000, and two years
ago $4,000. From March the total
is j, l7O, 900, against 100000 a year
ago-an increase of $4,000. The quail
ity is good in most instances, but in To-
calities east of the Mississippi river it
is irregular and to some extent not
good. Prices are well sustained, and
at the close the average is about 5
cents per 100 pounds higher than a.
week ago, and $l.20 higher than year
ago.
