The second act shows district school

hundred little onesare frolicing about,
for it is recess time. Some are skip

some having a game of ring-around-

the school and Immediately he is sur
rounded by the children and implored

Previous to this two boys have had a

teacher and girls have united in their
efforts to Quell the battle. Just as the

Miss Nina Boucicault daughter OF
the late Dion Boucicault, after strug-
Cling with several parts for which she
was unsuited, finally got her chance in
the Lion Tanners, recently produced at
Terry's theater in London. All of the
critics praise her work unstintingly,
one remarking: ''It is long time
since I have seen anything so moving
as her little scene with the duchess,
when she cries bitterly over being
tainted at school over her origin. :"
Miss Boucicault was practically born
in the theater. Besides being the
daughter of a great actor and play
wright, and an admirable actress, she
has two brothers, Aubrey and Dion,
who are well-known actors, and her
husband, Mr.. Kelly, is an actor-mana-
ger The theatrical environment will
be further strengthened when Miss
Boucicault's brother Dion marries
Miss Irene Van Brugh.

known in private life, Miss Frances H.
Cameron, daughter of the late Gen. F.
H. Cameron of North Carolina and the

Virginia, has decided to enter the dra-
matte profession. She was graduated
with distinction a short time ago from

the children, and, finally, the high
bred hunters, Climbing and Valiant,
Ajax and Blueskin, and q score of
others. In the merning he visited the
stables first, and next he visited and
inspected the kennels of the hounds
Vulcan and Bingwood, Singer and
Truelove. Music and Sweetlips-all
ready and eager to set the woods
a-ringing with their baying.
The hounds met three times week
in the season. OFF they would start
at daybreak, Washington, splendidly
mounted, generally on Blueskin, an
iron-gray hunter, riding in the midst
of the hounds. He wore blue coat,
scarlet waistcoat, buckskin breeches
and velvet cap. After him came the
neighboring gentlemen and ladies',
headed by Mrs. Washington, in a
scarlet habit. There was no difficult
ty in finding, and away they would
go after big black or gray fox.
The country was mostly wild and un-
fenced, offering rough and dangerous
footing to the horses. Washington's
diary of this time is filed with al
lusions to the sport. "Went hunting
with Jacky Custis and catched fox
after three hours chase; found it in
the creek" OF, "catched fox with
bob'd tail and cut ears, after seven
hours chase, in which most of the
dogs were worsted;" and, "fox hunt
ing with Lord Fairfax and his broth
er and Col. Fairfax; started fox
and lost it; dined at Belvoir and re-
turned in the evening"
Washington was the soul of hospi-
tally, and at few times, especially
in the hunting season, was the house
without guests. He liked life and
gayety and conversation, music and
dancing, and game of cards in bad
weather, and he liked heartily the
presence of young persons and
friends.
At this time, too, Washington was
member of the house of burgesses.
He was diligent in church affairs and
very active in the vestry. In short,
he was a thoroughly public-spirited
citizen, taking part in all the serious

him for a couple of hours rest, and
pointed out the house. Bernard at
once exclaimed: "Have the honor of
addressing Gen. Washington with
asmile that have never seen equaled,"
continues the actor, che offered his
hand and replied: AN odd sort of in
PRODUCTION, Mr.. Bernard; but 1 am
pleased to find that you can play so
active part in private, and without q
prompter.'
Perhaps no man in private life ever
Submitted himself more often to the
tender mercies of the portrait painter
than Washington, and yet it has been
said that few portraits resemble him.
There was an expression on Washing
tons face" writes Brissot de Warville,
that no painter had succeeded in taxi
ing" In 1777 Washington wrote: II
am so hackneyed to the touches of the
painters pencil that l am now alto
gether at their beck, and sit, like pa
tience on monument, whilst they are
delineating the lines of my face. 1t is
a proof of what habit and system can
effect. At first, was as impatient at
the request and as FESTIVE under the OPP
GRAFTON as colt is of the saddle. The
next time submitted very reluctantly,
but with less founcing. Now, no dray
moves more readily to the mill than
do to the painters chair" Among the
most notable portraits of Washington
are those by Peale, Wright, Ramage,
Savage, Trumbull, Wertmul,er, Vallee,
Houdon and those by Stuart. The orig.
inal Stuart pictures were copied many
times. There is one in the art insti-
tute concerning the authenticity of
which there has been much discussion.
Prince de Broglie, who saw Washing
ton in 1882, wrote of him: Ellis physi.
ognomy is mild and open. His accostis
cold, although polite. His pensive
gray eyes seem more attentive than
sparkling, but their expression is be-
nevolent, noble and self-possessed. In
his private conduct he preserves that
polite and attentive good breeding
which satisfies everybody and that dig
nifed reserve which offends no one.
Modest even to humility, he does not
seem to estimate himself at his true
worth. He speaks but little in general,
and that in subdued Tone"
The estimates which great men have
Placed upon Washington's character
are almost unanimous in giving him
rank with the noblest of all ages.
Thomas Jefferson wrote: 81 felt on his
death, with my countrymen, that verify
a great man hath fallen this day in
Israel!"
Lord Brougham called Washington
"the greatest man of our own or any
age"

travaganee or waste permitted. But
with tho strictest economy it is said
that his expenses far exceeded his
salary Of $4,000.
The diary which Washington kept
here, as all through life, is most in
teresting, and gives a pleasant
glimpse of life in the capital Of the
United States at that day.
One day he writes: Sat from nine
until II o'clock for Mr.. Trumbull to
draw my picture in his historical
pieces" Again: "Sat from ten
o'clock till IL for Mr.. John Trumbull
to draw my picture. A good deal of
company gentlemen and ladies) to
visit Mrs. Washington this after
noon" In very many places he notes
with apparent satisfaction the num-
Der and style Of persons at these re-
ceptions. One Saturday he writes:
''Walked to my newly-engaged lodg-
ings to fix on spot for new stable
which was about to build. Agreed
with - to erect one 30 feet square,
16 feet pitch, to contain 12 stalls,
etc., for Cos"
Along with these homely notes are
memoranda of state affairs and rec
ords of weighty discussions.
During his term of Office Washing
ton made tours to the New England
and southern states.
I'm His Retirement.
Soon after Washington's retirement
TO Mount Vernon he wrote to McHenry
letter, which gives good picture OF
his life as he took it up again on his
farm. 81 find myself" he says, Sin the

Although Gen. Washington easily
dropped back into the round of country
duties and pleasures and the manage
ment Of the plantation, which had al
ways been pleasure to him, there is a
touch of WEAKNESS and sadness in the
letters he writes. Writing again to Mr..
McHenry, he says: II begin my
diurnal course with the sun; if my
hirelings are not in place send them
messages of sorrow for their. indisposi-
ton. Having put these wheels in
motion, examine the state of things
further; the more they are probed the
deeper I find the wounds which my
buildings have sustained by an absence
andneglect of eight years. By the time
I have accomplished these matters,
breakfast "a little after seven o'clock)
is ready. This being over, mount my
horse and ride around my farms, which
employs me until it is time to dress for
dinner, at which 1 rarely miss seeing
strange faces, come, as they say, out
Of respect for me. Pray, would not the
word curiosity answer as we'll? And,
how different this from few friends
at cheerful boara. The usual time of
sitting at table, walk, and tea bring
me within the dawn of candle light,
previous to which, if not prevented by
company, resolve that, as the glitter
ing taper supplies the place of the great
luminary, I will retire to my writing
table and acknowledge the letters ]
have received. When the lights are
brought feel tired and disinclined to
engage in this work, conceiving that
the next night will do as we'll. The
next night comes, and, with it, the same
causes for postponement, and so on.
1t may strike you that in this detail no
mention is made Of any portion of time
allotted for reading. The remark
would be just, for I have not looked in
to book since came home, nor shall
be able to do it until have discharged
my workmen; probably not before the
nights grow longer, when, possibly,
may be looking in Doomsday book"
For the rest, the best portrait we get
of Washington at this time is that
given by John Bernard, distinguished
English actor, who visited this country
in 1898. Travelling on horseback,
through the country to Alexandra,
Bernard came upon a upturned We.

business of the colony as we'll as its
social life and pleasures.
Social Life of the President.
On court days he went to the
courthouse with other gentlemen to
listen to the arguments and hear the
news. On his visits to Williamsburg
his diaries tell us of round of din
ners, calls, theaters, and, on Sundays,
church. So the reasonable, whole
some and happy current of life at
Mount Vernon moved gently on till
stirring public events diverted its
course.
Washington's manner of living and
his conduct of his private affairs
while president was naturally very
different from that of the plantation
days. However, everything he did
still evinced the simplicity and at the
same time the wonderful dignity and
poise of his character.
From his chief manager at Mount
Vernon he exacted full and exact
weekly report. Once week he wrote
regularly to the manager, remarking
on the report of the preceding week
and adding new directions. He had
not been long in New York before
he found it necessary to establish
rules for receiving visitors and en-
PERTAINING company. There was no
precedent to serve as guide, and
the matter was one of considerable
delicacy and difficulty. The vice pres
ident, Mr.. Jay, Mr.. Madison, Mr..
Hamilton and other gentlemen con-
curing, q set of regulations were
adopted. Every Tuesday between the
hours of three and four he was pre-
pared to receive such persons as
chose to call; foreign ministers,
strangers and citizens came and went
without ceremony. Every Friday aft
ernoon the rooms were open in like
manner for visits to Mrs. Washing
ton, which were on still more So
ciable footing, and at which Gen.
Washington was always present.
He accepted no invitations to din
ner.
No visits were received on Sunday.
In the morning the president uni
formly attended church.
Washington here exercised the
same care in the management of his
household as at Mount Vernon. All
accounts were scrutinized, and NO ex-

Mrs. T. Pelton, 500 St. Anthony avenue,

"Peruna has done wonders for me. It

I cheerfully recommend Peruna to all suf-
ferers afflicted with catarrh. My mother is
never without Peruna. When one is tired

PORTRAIT by Peale.)

his stepchildren, all displayed love
of simplicity, but with constant in
sistence that all should be of the
best.
Washington's active life, as well as
his pleasures, was largely out Of
doors. He understood every branch
of farming; he rose early, worked
steadily, gave everything his person
al supervision, kept his own accounts
with wonderful exactness, and he
made money. He farmed, as he fought
and governed, better than anybody
else. At that time he appeared an
evenly-balanced, square and solid
planter.
His hobby was hunting. Washing.
toms stables were filled with the best
animals that Virginia could furnish.

presents pleasant picture of the
Virginia country gentleman. And
yet, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
there were not lacking, even in the
ornaments of the house, indications
of the heroic mold in which it's MAS
ter was cast. When Washington first
settled with his wife at Mount YER
non he ordered from Europe the
busts of Alexander the Great, Charles
XII. of Sweden, julius Caesar, Fred
erick of Prussia, Marlborough and
Prince Eugene, and in addition asked
for statuettes of 1.-TWO wild beasts"
First, his admiration is for the great
soldier and statesman; next, the
reckless but brilliant military adven-
turer, and last the exciting chase.
Washington was married at q. AL
ready he was one of the foremost
men of the country. "For him the
myrtle and ivy were entwined with
the laurel, and fame was sweetened
by youth. He was righteously ready
to draw from life all the good things
which fate and fortune, then smiling
upon him, could offer, and he took
his pleasures frankly and freely, with
an honest heart. One loves to pic
ture that gallant, generous, youth
full figure, brilliant in color and man
ly in form, riding gayly on from one
little colonial town to another, feast
ing, dancing, counting and making
merry"
Three months after his marriage
Washington settled down to the life
of planter at beautiful Mount Yer
non. Much of the furnishing for his
house was ordered from London, and
the selections denoted refinement and
an intense sense of propriety. He ap-
peared to have an unfailing instinct
