creases with the added, developing
results of the work done by him. The
name of liberty will have disappeared
when the glory of the fame of Wash
ington shall have been obliterated. Be-
ing dead, he continues to speak in ey-
cry added evidence Of the greatness of
the country of his founding.
To-day, when the birthday of
Washington is being celebrated every
where. the following words from his
farewell address will be appropriate:
''Be united. Be Americans. The
name which belongs to you, in your
national capacity, must eXalt the just
pride Of patriotism more than any APP
pellation derived from local discrimi-
nations. Let there be no sectionalism,
no north. south, east or west; you are
all dependent one on another, and
should be one in union. Beware of at
lacks, open or covert, on the constitu-
ton. Beware of the bancful effects of
party spirit and of the ruin to which
its extremes must lead. DO not en-
courage party spirit, but use every eff
fort to mitigate and assuage it. Keep
the departments of government scpa-
rate. promote education. cherish the
public credit. avoid debt Observe JUS
tice and good faith toward all nations:
have neither passionate hatrcds nor
passionate attachments to any: and be
Independent politically of ALL In one
word. be nation, be Americans. and
be true to yourselves
Washington died Dec. Il. 1900, rec
'ogniZed by all as indeed FIRST in war,
first in peace. and first in the hearts
of his countrymen." In the great and
beautiful city that bears his name
stands a magnificent monument to his
memory, mounting 900 feet above the

and stateman. will rise, calm and

who is clerk in the Foreign office,
and who married Florence, daughter
Of John H. Davis, of New York, sue
ceeds to the title, and another Ameri-
can Joins the ranks of the peeresses.
The funeral of Lord Dufferln was
private. His remains We're buried in
the graveyard at Clandeboye on Feb.
Is.
The Rt. Hon. Frederick Temple
Blackwood, Earl of Dufferin, X. G. B.,
X. F., was the only son of Price,
fourth Baron Dufferin, by Helen Sc
lima, eldest daughter of the late
Thomas Sheridan, and was born in
June, 1896. He was educated at Elton
and Christchurch, Oxford.
Lord Dufferin was of Irish origin,
but his education and his political ex-
perence We're entirely English. At
the age of Is he inherited his fathers
Irish barony. Nine years later he ac-
cepted baronetcy of the United King
dom; he was created an Earl in 1871
and marquis in 1883. Besides his
ribbon of the Order of st. Patrick. he
probably was the only British subject
outside the royal circle who was q
Knight of the Grand Cross of the four
service orders" of the Bath, the Star
of India, the Michael and George, and
the Indian empire.
Activity WAS the motto of his career
He once called himself maid of all
work of the ministry. Whatever his
hand touched it adorned. In his youth
he made a yacht voyage to Iceland
AMI his Letters from High Lati-
tubes remains one of the most de-
ightful books of northern travel ever
written. In 1860 he was Lord Palmer
Ston'S commissioner in the East pro-
tecting the Christian population there.
AS governor general of Canada, if
he aroused some criticisms he allayed
them by his wonderful social quail
ties. In Russia his tact and SAVIOR
procured him success as elsewhere.
In Turkey, i'll Egypt and finally in
R'll'mah. he was England's advance
agent. People who doubted the NOR
aity of the Burmese business could
not but admire the skill with which it
was brought about. AS the active op-
ponrnt of Russians policy with regard
to India, Lord Dufferin won rcnown.
Later he became ambassador in Paris
and the warden of the Cirque ports in
England

Barber-Yes, sir; quite, some time

Clerical Customer-Indeed! Then I

Barber-You surely have, sir
Clerical Customer-It was certainly
very kind of you not to awaken me.
The rest has done me good, and am
very thankful to you for what was
