Mr. Robinson's wife According to ira
dition he sought her hand. but was re
fused. Whether this be true or not is a
matter Of no particular moment.
In a little over two years from this
time Washington met an attractive young
widow. Mrs Martha Custis, daughter Of
John cambridge. Her husband, John Parke
Custis had been dead about three years,
leaving her with two yong children and q
large fortune. Washington was at this
time a commander in the French and In
dian wars. The courtship, therefore, was
brief. and before he left for the campaign
against Fort Duquesne they had mutually
plighted their faith. and the marriage was
to take place as soon as the campaign was
at an end Accordingly. on January 5,
1883 shortly after his return, the mar
riage was celebrated. No children were
born to this union
The life o. Washington from his mar
riage on is an open book. His conduct,
ability. conservatism. patriotism, and de-
votion to right and duty, exhibited in con-
nection with the French and Indian wars,
the Revolutionary war ana the Presi-
dency of the United States are matters OF
familiar history He had very little pri-
vate life but was eminently public char
acter. All his actions and concerns al
most FROM boyhood were connected with
the history of his country Truly has II

Evidence of the Esteem in Which

Washington Was Held.
The esteem in which Washington was
held by his contemporaries is attested by
the reverence with which his name was
used by the newspapers Of his own time
That reverence, which is usually given to
heroes long dead, when their failings, and
errors are forgotten, was accorded to the
Father Of his Country even during his
lifetime. In this he was singularly hon

KNOCKED OUT. co

Jeffries and Ruhlin and their packers got blow in the solar plexus yesterday when Judge Hollister decided that their plan contemplated public nuisance, and granted permanent injunction against carrying it out. So the stren- uous people of this country wont have to sit up tonight, over-drink, over smoke, over-talk and overwork the tel ephone in their efforts to keep up with the procession. The fight has been postponed, and what will be done next remains to be seen. Pugilism seems to be in a bad way in this country just now. The laws against it actually seem made to be enforced.

We could nave dohe nothing on the coast of Spain without first seizing one of the Canary Islands for a coal depot. The fleets action IS governed by it's coal supply, and II we had trouble with Q foreign country, 1t would be impossible to tell where the center of the war would be. We have not a ton of coal within 5000 miles of Europe. We have nothing in eastern or Asiatio waters, except at Manila. We have no coal at Guam yet"
 Of course we must have coaling sta- tions if we are going to be and remain q world power. It's coal that makes the ships go, and we must be ready to start the ships when anybody knocks the chip off.

TALKING UP IN c ERMANY.

The German emperor thinks 1t Is time to reyolutionize the whole German rail- road service, and as what the German emperor thinks about such matters has much weight we may expect to see the revolution take place soon, unless there are insuperable mechanical obstacles in the way. Experiments are to be made at once on the military railroad between Berlin and Zossen, on which military electrical expresses will be run. Herr Rathenau, the manager of large electri- cal works in Berlin, has explained to the emperor that the maximum speed of the steam locomotive has been practi- cally reached. Greater speed can only be attained by increasing the size and weight of the engines, which would ne- cessitate much heavier, wider and stronger tracks. The economical difft- culties in the way are insuperable. It is believed, however, that with electric ity the express trains of the future can be run at rate 50 per cent. faster than those of the present on existing tracks. With strengthened tracks Herr Rathe- nau maintains that speed of from 15O to ITO miles an hour could be maintained safely. He hopes to attain this velocity on the Berlin-Zossen railroad Each of his trains will look like a single sleep ing car, and will be capable of carrying fifty passengers. He thinks that during the present century express trains will run from Paris to Brussels in one hour and a half, from Paris to Berlin or Nice in five hours, Paris to Lisbon in ten, and from Paris to St. Petersburg or Constantinople in fifteen. A man will then be able to go around the world comfortably in twenty-five days.
 So far Connecticut is ahead of Ger many in the electric railroad business, but perhaps the emperor and Herr Rathenau will soon put Connecticut in the background in this matter.
