FOND OF THE GIRLS.
The Lsvs Affairs of the Father of His
Country.

George Washington's love affairs be-
gan at {, very early age, and he was to
the day Of his death fond Of the girls"
The first sweetheart was one Mary
Bland, with whom he fell In love when
he was only IA years Of age. This Is
ascertained from an entry in one of his
diaries, where he refers to her as his
'lowland beauty" Having tired of
Mary, he wrote to a friend that he had
decided TO bury his chaste and trou-
blessme passion" which, having done,
he soon found himself enamored of
Lucy Cary, sister-ln-law of Colonel
Fairfax. His affection for this young
lady lasted for some years, being only
interrupted now and again by his nat
ural Virginia passion of making love
to every pretty girl whom he met.
In. 1859 his first serious love affair
was shattered. Having fallen in love
with a certain Miss Betsy Fauntleroy,
he determined to ask her to become his
wife, but the fates had destined him
to marry another, for she rejected his
proposals. He afterward came back
to her, but found that she had not
changed her mind on that score.
His next heartache was caused by a
girl in New York after he had become
q colonel. She was the heiress Mary
Phfllnse. His business called him
away from her; but, having finished
this, he returned to New York and pro-
posed to her, but was here, as before,
n5 hU hor- ofucnl
In 1853 at Waynes Ferry, while
travelling to Williamsburg with dis
patches, he met his future wife, Mrs.
Martha cambridge Custis, the widow
of Daniel Park Custis. We learn from
history that she was young, pretty, In
telligent and rich. He had been with
her all of an afternoon and was to ride
away to his home the next morning.
On his way he stopped at her home
and then and there told of his love and
asked her to become his mate for life.
This time, contrary to his previous
proposals, he was accepted.-Chicago

In Life and Sport on the Pacific

of his narrow escapes from a friends

ror struck, watching the sinuous curves

"Then he quietly reached for his six
shooter, but he could not see the rep
tiles head, and he moved nearer, noise
lessly yet quickly, dreading some
movement on my part that should pre-
cipftste the very thing he dreaded, and
then he saw that it was not a snake at
all-only the black and yellow stripe of
my blanket, which gently rose and fell

might have been bad for me, for he
confessed that his hand shook"

MEXICAN FORESTS IN FLAMES.

Ell PASO. Tex, June 12-The most dis

continuing to do So for he rest of
their lives. It is a matter Of record
that in certain savage tribes where al
most absolute freedom is allowed there
is about as large q proportion of faith
fitness among mated couples as in the
average civilized society, and there is
a tale that is told of one Of the com
munities" formed at the time Of the
free love agitation, to the effect that
although the marriage bond was pro-
hibited and a general mixed-up condi-
ton encouraged, the community final
ly came TO an end because it had sep
arated into couples who had marked
preferences for each other. and tended
toward exclusiveness. It took a good
many centuries of evolution to form
the hcme and the family, and social
freedom is not likely to result in i'm
mediate chaos and old night, although.
considering the powerful restraint
which has been practced in all such re-
lauons in the past, it may be well to
administer the freedom gradually.

LOSS OF TRADE IN GERMANY.
Conditions That HIVE Combined
Against the WOODEN Industry

Charles Neuer. the UniteS States Con-
sular Agent at Gera, Germany, has writ
ten to the State Department concerning
the wooden industry in that empire He
says probably no other German enter
prise has undergone a more marked
change within as short a space Of time
Until 1900, prosperous conditions pre-
vailed" Mr.. Neuer writes. but early in
that year there was falling of in the
values of wool and wooden yarns OF from
- to 60 per cent. Enormous financial
sacrifices followed The high tariff OF Rus
STA and the establishment of factories on
a large scale at LODI and other places in
that country, the loss of the valuable
United States market. and the decrease
in exports to Austria, England, and Sean
dinavia are among the causes of depres-

MUST FACE THEIR PUNISHMENT
Force, a Court Declares, is the Right
of the state

DAYTON, Ohio, June 12--The Circuit
Court has affirmed the judgment of the
lower court in the cases of Claude Roser,
Thomas Young, William Deemer, and
John Doughty They were tried at the
January term of court on the charge of
assault and battery on Calvin Phebus
and his son, Eugene, last July on Puter-
baugh Avenue
The elder Phebus was a n1oIder at the
Callahan shops and was not a member Of
the union. The four men said that on
the morning of the trouble they were
trying to persuade Phebus to quit his
work. a strike being on at the shops.
when the trouble arose. and they were
compelled to act in seIf-defenee
The court held that these four had surely
met by appointment and had determined
that if words of persuasion could not ac-
complish the desired result force would
be used IN announcing the decision the
court said that labor OrganiZa tions were
certainly useful and beneficial. but that
under no circumstances could physical
force be used to accomplish a desired
result
Physical force. the judge said, could be
used by the State alone, and that only in
enforcing the law The sentence passed
upon the four men in the lower court
and which has been affirmed provided
that each of them shall be imprisoned in
the WOrkhOuSe for four months and each
pay a fine of $50 and costs.

consideration of the plans to be present
ed TO Congress next December for two
hattieShIps and two armored cruisers has
not progressed further than to determine
the displacement and speed of the battle
Shlps with a few additional minor details.
Inc original desire to have 2e-knOt battle

brought out at the meetings Of the board

nineteen knots
The steaming radius Of each ship will
be between 100 and 1900 Knots. but this
would be materially reduced through the
necessity of curtaiIing the space for coal

Our Coal Supply.

There is nothing that is contributing
more to the Industrial pre-eminence of
the United States than its practically
Imitiess coal measures. These are
many times greater than those of all
Europe combined. The quality is of
the best and the supply inexhaustibIe
within any time that 1t is necessary for
US to take into account.
Agriculture and manufacturing are.
and viii continue to be, the worlds two
leading industries. In manufacturing
there is not the slightest probability of
coal ever being suppIanted to any ap-
probable extent Gas and oil may be
employed in a small way, but neither
can be considered as, in any sense, the
competitor of coal. Water power viii
continue to be useful agent but it
can only be employed in particular 10
Calities- ParentheticaIly, though, it
may be observed that in this agency
also the United States has he superior,
If it has an equal. among nations But
coal is the great factor in the genera
ton of power, whether it is to be ap-
piled ultimately by means of steam,
electricity, OF compressed air.
There are, moreover, many ways in
which coal is and must be employed

question Of generating power-as in the
melting of ores in order that their val

use Of coal in immense quantities.
But convenience of location is, in
point of Importance, only secondary to
the abundance of the coal supply.
Here again the advantages of the Uni
ted states are distinctly marked The
coal fields are So distributed with ref
erence to the supplies of raw materials
used IN producing the finished articles
as to very greatly. economic and facili-
tate its use. Coal abounds in the North,
the South. and the West. and is in am
pie quantities within easy reach of al
most every community desiring to en-
pIoy it for manufacturing purposes
The failure to find it in close proximity
to the great iron ore fields Of the lake
region is something Of a drawback, but
it is in large measure compensated for
by the cheap water carriage of the
great lakes.
These advantages in coal supply viii
increase relatively in the future Up
to this time our chief foreign competi-
tors have been fairly able to produce
such coal as they needed, but the
time is rapidly approaching when they
viii not be able TO do so. The shortage
is already becoming serious in Ger
many, and by many is thought to be in
large degree responsible for the present
depression of the iron trade in that
country In the nature of things it
would seem as if this shortage must
steadily increase, and just as steadily
place Germany at a greater disadvan-
tage- Great Britain is better off rela-
lively than any other European coun-
try, excepting possibly Belgium. but the
United States is so far ahead Of any
and all Of them as to almost preclude
comparison.
