II is now held by the New York
Board of Health that pneumonia has
permanently displaced consumption as
the leading cause OF death in that city.
In the past year the excess Of deaths
from pneumonia over those by con-
sumption was greater than ever before.
Influenza has brought this about.
Prior to 1890 consumption had always
been the chief cause of mortality, but
influenza. which easily runs into the
acute lung trouble, has now become
domesticated in this country. Chica-
COS experience in this regard CORE
spends exactly with New York's.

Like most Of his recent products, it can
not be said that Librettfst Smith has fur

way except for it's general stupidity. The
plot of the piece Is quite absurd, but this
might be forgiven if it were at all in

situation is developed, but for the most
part the action of the opera drags in
way that is not improved by the vulgar
witticisms and the feeble puns which are
brought i'm with the idea of relieving the
prevailing gloom. Victor Herbert's music,
while not particularly worthy, is much
better than the use to which it has been

My Dear Sir: On behalf of George
Washington CuStis Lee, you have ap-
piled to me for the restoration of Ger
tain relics of George Washington,
now in the Smithsonian Institution.
These articles came from Mount
Vernon and before the civil war were
the property of George Washington
Parke Gusts, the grandson of Martha
Washington and the owner of Airing
ton, who, on his death IN 1857. left
them by his will, along with the Ar
Ifngton estate to his daughter Mary
Ann Randolph Lee. the wife of Robert
+. Lee during her natural life and
then to her eldest grandson, George
Washington Custis Lee to descend
from him. entire and unchanged, to
my (hisD latest pOsteTity
The relics We're at Arlington when
the civil war began, and early in 1862
were turned over to General McDow-
ell, then in command there, by a
servant of the Lee family, who became
alarmed for their safety The gener-
al, interested in their preservation,
sent them 10 the Patent Office for safe
keeping, whence they were transferred
to their present place of deposit. 1t
does not appear that the Government
ever took any steps to divest the title
of Mrs. Lee and her son TO them, or
ever claimed any title of it's own. All
the Government did was to accept the
trust OF their custody at time when
the owner could not protect them and
they were consequently exposed to the
risk Of destruction. The need for such
protection having ceased and the
trust voluntarily assumed having been
discharged it will afford me great sat
isfaction TO give direction for the res
toration to the present head of a his
toric family of these cherished heir
looms OF the Father of His Country.
Sincerely. yours.

THE PROPERTY OF Mr.. LEE.

turn of the Washington Relies


The interesting historical relics which
were once the property of George Wash
ington. and which have for a number of
years been on exhibition at the National
Museum, are to be returned to their
owner George Washington Custis Lee,
to whom title in them descended from
Martha Washington. The return of these
much-prized possessions which once be
longed to the Father of His Country has
been brought about through the efforts
of Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia,
whose request for their restoration to the
present head of the Lee family has been
granted by President Mckinley. Senator
Daniel asked the President to institute
an enquiry into the matter, and the re
suit, which is set forth in a letter from
Mr.. Mckinley TO the Virginia Senator,
forms an interesting chapter in the his
tory of the valuable mementoes. II is
