grandson of Martha Washington and the
owner of Arlington, who, on his death in
1857, left them by his will. along with the
Arlington estate, to his daughter, Mary
Ann Randolph Lee. the wife of Robert f.
Lee, during her natural Lac, and then to
his eldest grandson, George Washington
Custis Lee "to descend from him, entire
and unchanged, to my (his) latest pos

The relics were at Arlington when the

turned over to General Mcdowell, then in
command there, by servant OF the Lee

An Experiment Worth Watching.

The friends OF temperance and sobriety
will watch with interest the step which
great insurance company of New York,
the Mutual Life, is about to adopt. They
are establishing total abstinence class
ofrisks separate and distinct from the gen
eral policy holders to determine from ex-
perience whether they can be taken at a
lower rate but no difference of rate is to
be made to begin with because it is re-
garded as an experiment. Excessive
drinking undoubtedly shortens life and
the experience of some English life insur-
ance companies indicates a somewhat
longer life for total abstaners than mod
crate drinkers.
In his remarkable address on the
liquor problem at the recent Congrega-
tional convention in Rutland, Rev. Dr.
Mears of Albany made the statement
that the drink habit cuts off the average
of the human life 90 1-2 years. This
statement is challenged by the Brattle
boro Reformer, but it does not seem
likely that such well-informed man as
DR.. Mears would make such statement
unless he could back it up.

Presidential Possibilities.

President McKinley's early and sensible
declnation to permit his name to be used
in connection with a third term OF the
presidency has started the gossip for his
successor. Senator Allison of Iowa has
withdrawn from the race and wishes
that Governor Shaw of the same state
would enter the race. Senator Allison
says he will be too old when the conven-
ton meets, he will be IS, and he will not
pose as Iowa's tavorite son. Vice-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the first one thought of,
but a vice president stands poor show
of promotion. The Others most prom
inently mentioned are Senator's Hanna,
Fairbanks and Beveridge and Gov. OdelI
of New York. 1t is good ways ahead
to the next contest and the winner may
be one whose name has yet to be men
toned.

One of the most wonderful results of
the American occupation of Cuba is the
increase in the number of schools in the
island. In December, 1899, the number
was 312 and now according to a recent
report of Lieut.. M. F. Hanna, acting
commissioner of schools, there are 8 ,313
with 1929 pupils enrolled. The
teachers are practically all natives, and
taken as a whole are poorly fitted for
the work. Their salaries are higher than
in most countries, some of the teachers
receiving $50 to SIS a month through.
out the year. The total expense is now
paid by the state and amounts to about
$4,O00,000. The general school law is
modelled on the law of the state of Ohio.
There is talk Of a normal school system
tor Cuba but Lieut.. Hanna discourages
the project and recommends that a few
good foreign teachers be imported and
that native teachers be selected and sent
to the United States for a special course
OF study.

Death of "PotatO, Pingree.

The death of Ex-Governor Hazen
Pingree of Michigan which occurred il
London, June IS, ends a career which
during the last decade of the old century
was particularly interesting and pictur
esque. He was born in Maine in 1910
attended school until IA, then worked in
a cotton mill for SIX years, and in 1860
learned the shoe cutters trade in Mass
achusetts. He served throughout the
and soon after went to Detroit where he
worked at his trade for time, then en-
barked in the shoe manufacturing bus
mess with a partner, their total capital
! b,irg 81, 800. From this beginning
grew one of the large shoe manufactures
in the country with an ami ual output
exceeding S1,00O,OO0 in value. Mr..
Pingree was rated a millionaire and was
counted one of the successful business
men of the middle west. But he was
destined to gain fame of different ma
ture. In 1889 the republicans of Detroit
united in an effort to drive the democra-
tic ring that had ruled the city for sever
al years, and Mr.. Pingree was their
choice as candidate for mayor. 1t was
his first venture in politics but he was
elected by a good majority and i'm.
mediately began a series of municipal
reforms which gave him great popular
ity and resulted in his being reelected
three times. One OF his most famous
schemes was the turning over of vacant
city lots as gardens for the poor. The
plan worked successfully and earned for
its originator the sobriquet of "Pota-
to- Pingree. In 1896, during his fourth
term as mayor, he was elected governor
offices. He was reelected governor in
1898. During his career as chief execu-
tive of the state he continued his work of
reform and was thorn in the flesh to
railroads and other corporations in
taxation matters. For time he was a
veritable autocrat in state affairs, but
during his second term his power waned,
and special session of the legislature,
which he had called to further his plans,
refused to obey his behests. The remain
der of his official life was marked by the
pardoning of criminals. In
connection with this move he was much
and was declared in contempt
OF the supreme court but sent word that
he was too busy to appear. For the
past few months he has been on a bus
mess trip to Cuba, then went to South
Africa and had reached London on his
way home.
