This Is Washington's birthday
1t was ITO years ago, today thai
she man who subsequently led the
American to victory and liberty first
saw thelightof day in Westmoreiand
county, Virginia. His first con-
sptcuoais service for the people, was
when he took command OF the
American army under the historic
elm at Cambridge July 5. r77S A
year later the Declaration of indie
Pendence called for active service
and great privations for the cause
OF liberty. Washington and his
army of hungry, ragged patriots
proved equal to the emergency and
as a result of their unseifsh devo-
ton to the cause tins great republic
lives today to do homage to one. of
the, worlds best men After the
PRONUNCIATION OF the Declaration of
Independence the. British became
more active and a series of disas-
trous defeats to Washington's army
followed The battle of BROOKLYN,
tho withdrawal from New York,
White Plains, the. fail of Fl. Wash
ington and the melancholy retreat
across New Jersey caused much /
suffering and discomfort. The I
dropping spirits of the army were
raised by the brilliant surprise at !
Trenton and the victory of Prince
ton. More defeats and the gloomy
winter at Valley Forge were severe
tests for the patriots but r1ey were
fighting for liberty rather than dol T:
hrs and bore hardships that would +
1nre- otherwise. resulted in open
mutiny. In later military move \
ments Washington sustained his
reputation as a great general. In (,
December. 1888, he resigned his
commission to the congress and re-
tired to private life, honored and
respected. Later called to, be fist
president Of the republic, he was
reeleRnRd and retired from the Office
m 1896. at which time he issued his
farewell address, the most import

WORLDS FAIR OPENING DAY.

World, Fair. st. Louis, Sept. 22 -
Some Of the State commissions have
expressed themselves favorable to
opening the Worlds Fair on April LIST,
and closing on December list, 1904.
Some of the members of the Govern
mcnt Board are also understood to be
favorable to this plan. The argument
Is made that the exposition will be so
vast that the longer time will be desir.
able. Spring opens month to six
weeks earlier at st. Louis .han II does
In the latitude of Chicago and the New
England States, and weather condl.
tions will be favorable to the earlier
opening of the Exposition. Whatever
plan the State and foreign commits
siOns and the Government representa-
tives may favor will prevail. To have
the Worlds Fair in full swing month
earlier than former eXpositlons will be
in the opinion of many distinct ad
vantage to this enterprise. When the
State commissions are assembled here
on the 30th of the present month II Is
expected that the consensus of opinion
as to the proper date of opening will
be ascertained.
