WAsHINGToNs MODEL FARM.

In his mature life Washington's one expressed ambition was to be the lead- ing farmer in America, and he worked diligently to earn that title by introdu- cling new methods of husbandry. He even invented a blow. In his progress sivenesshe conducted what might not be inappropriately termed the first experi-
 mental agricultural station on the con- tinent. All the latest machinery be learned about he promptly imported. He tried many kinds of tobacco and wheat, experimented with various kinds of fertilizers, and developed the breed- | ing of thoroughbred horses, cattle and sheep.
 There were many industries on Wash i ington's farms. He maintained a
 blacksmith shop which, in addition to the work of the plantation, shod horses
 and repaired implements and wagons
 for the neighbors. He also had force
 of carpenters whom, at times, he hired
 out to construct dwelling houses in Alexandria and the national capital.
 Washington conducted a flour mill at
 Mount Vernon and established an en- viable and profitable reputation for the extra brand of flour produced. He often bought wheat from other farms in Virginia and ground it into four for the
 market. A cooperage was another of
 his industries, and even the schooners
 that carried his barrels to market be- longed to him.
 It would be hard to imagine a. more
 complete establishment, than the one he Iconducted. Shoemakers at Mount Ver-
 non turned out all the shoes worn on the estate. Weavers in his employ produced the linen, the woolens, the lindsey and the cotton cloth needed.
 There was also distillery, the revenue from which sometimes exceeded $1 ,500 annually. His fisheries along the Po- l tomac were also sources of considerable profft.--"Our Farmer Presidents, in

cAPITAL OF COAL MINE.

Take, as an instance, the recent ar- thracite and bituminous coal strikes in the United States with union miners numbering a quarter of a million of men. Ten dollars do not make capitalist; it Is true; but a quarter of a million men paying twenty cents a week to union stock fund means ten dollars per year. or "a total of two and half million dollars for a single year. Thus is, a goodly capital to be controlled by men who furnish all of the labor for operating the mines as well. Is 1t not fair to presume that with this invested in the companies which employ the men would not have to strike to obtain hearing Coasters Magazine.

This was passed, and when the the board recon vened Alderman Spreyer made the fol- lowing amendment: That the matter be resubmitted to the committee on railroads and bridges for public hear ings."
 After considerable discussion, in which both Alderman Weiss and Alder man Minor stated that they. had favor ed lift bridge and a public hearing on the subject. the amendment to the. amendment and the amendment were both lost.

STRAW IN EGYPTIAN BRICK.

The ancient Egyptians had process for making bricks which rendered them very had, yet easy to work. An Amer 'ican engineer, MT Acheson, thinks he has discovered their secret. The Egyp- tians used straw, and byNboiling straw in water and mixing clay with it he found that it gave hard, shapely bricks that did not crack or deforn in baking Analysis proved the effect due to tannin dissolved in water. Further experi- ments showed that from one-half to M per cent. of. the tannin of commerce added to the resistance of the brick. The process also economies water, and such bricks dried in the sun are even more solid than those of the kiln. Lon

EhAnueApAhA -NAuts
 One more phase in the substitution of American methods, ideas and customs, both social and commercial, in the Philippine Islands is about to be reached. The Insular government has been ordered to prepare for the calling in of the Spanish and Mexican coins now in use, and be in readiness to put in circulation a vast quantity of Amer ica coined money. sz..
 A small quantity of silver coins of large denomination are now on their way to Manila via San Francisco, but on July g from this port went nearly a third of million dollars in nickel and bronze coins. They will be sent to the far east on the Indramayo of the Uni ted States and Japan-China Steamship Line.
 This vessel which has the coins on board sailed from New York and has a general merchandise cargo in addition to the invoice of coin. It is the expec- tation that the money will be in the hands of the Insular government off, cials in about six weeks.
 The coins are packed in 563 keks. The total number Of coins constitutes 13,740, 900 pieces. Their value, in round numbers. is three hundred and six thousand dollars. All were coined at the mint in Philadelphia. Their weight is estimated at seventy tons.
 Following the minting of the coins at Philadelphia ad their counting and packing into kegs six cars were ordered into service for their transportation to New York city. The carrying agents. the United States and Adams Express companies, secured them from the Pennsylvania railroad, and in the six cars the trip was made to Jersey City over that road. The express companies divided the work equally, and each de tailed two men to each of the cars. for which they were responsible. These guards were selected because of long experience in guarding treasure trains. Each man was armed with repeating rifle and revolver of heavy calibre.
 When the train pulled into Jersey City the six treasure cars were guarded all night by a relief corps. The next morning a lighter was ordered to the Pennsylvania railroad company's docks, and in that craft the money was trans ferred across the upper bay to Brook lyn. The vigilance of the guards did not cease, for they accompanied the kegs to the Atlantic docks
 There was encountered more guards, and crew of checkers from the two < express companies. By degrees the kegs of coin were placed in the steel compartments in the vessels hold, each keg being checked off as it was let down the slide.
 After all the kegs were counted, as in the hold, the door of the compartment was closed and sealed by a treasury of ficial. The responsibility of the United States treasury was then at an end.
 The little coins are quite distinct from the coins of the United States. So are the silver coins of. large denonli- nation, which are being shipped across the Pacific. Of the former there are 4,5oO,OOo five centavos pieces, 5,O40,OoO one centavo pieces. and 4.2OO,0OO half centavo pieces. Their need has been most imperative, for the Spanish and Mexocan coins now in use cause end sless confusion and dissatisfaction be- cause of their frequent fluctuations in value.

CENTRAL COMMITTEE PALAvER.

The palaver In the Democratic Cen

They will hardly forget that the indl-

what some of our contemporaries are
pleased to call nm "Olive branch" and
who undertake to criticlse the Board

REPUBLICAN, CRY CONVENTION.

Before the next edition of the Eagle
shall have reached Its readers the Re-
publican city convention will have
been held and the municipal ticket
nominated. 10 far as the makeup Of
the ticket Is concerned there has never
been a city convention held In this
city about the probable results Of
which 50 little could De said In I'D
vance.
But two active candidates for the
MayOralty have appeared before the
public-Graeme Stewart and John
Maynard Harlan.
Taking the situation NIL In nll, Mr..
Stewart seems to have Ind the best
of the fight up to the hour of holding
the convention. and his nomination
seemed the more probable. Mr.. Har-
Ian, 1t must be admitted, has made n
strenuous campaign, and his friends
have been making great claims for
him, but to n disinterested observer
1t does certainly look that Mr.. Stew
arts nomination Is exceedingly prob
able.
For the balance of the ticket little
can be guessed In advance. Certainly
II ever there was a convention that
cannot be charged up with being n cut
and.dried affair, this springs city con
vention will be that sort of gather
ing. The slatemaker has been con
spicuously absent and the politicians
have given the people chance.

iLLiNOiS' ABLE AND POPULAR
CHIEF EXECUTIVE.

Governor Yates. the present capable
chief executive Of Illinois, IL meeting
every condition which cOnfrOhts him,
both officially and unotficlally, rs
statesman and as type Of the Ameri.
can citizen Of whom all the people are
proud.
Every man worthy Of the name In
Illinois to-day. who has followed the
career Of Governor Yates from his
election up to date, Is proud OF him.
He has met and conquered scheming
cabals within his own party, he has
met manfully and successfully oppo-
sition from without, he Is aiding splen-
didly In the work Of making for the
present General Assembly the finest
record in the history of the Legislature
Of Illinois, and his administration of
the State institutions has been so eff
cient, so wise, so humane and at the
same time economical as to call forth
the encomiums Of all good citizens, ir.
respective Of party. The Governor, as
we'll as each and all Of his predeces-
sors, have had to meet with the vitu.
peration and calumnles of personal and
political antagonists.
Methods which are as old as they
are disreputable have been resorted to
In order to throw some slur upon his
administration by men who envy him
the honor he has gained, as they OPP
posed him in his honorable endeavor
10 attain 1t.
Having been unable to defeat his po-
litical ambitions they are now trying
IN their characteristically spiteful way
10 do all In their power to prevent the
success OF his administration.
One of the methods to which they
have resorted has been the old played
ont game of unfair and untruthful crit
icism of the State institutions.
II the reading public will turn to
the files Of the press 1t Will be CON
WINGED OF the fact that within the
memory OF the present generation
there has not been a Governor Of Hi
nOis who has not been assailed in pre-
cisely the same way.
Yet the State Institutions OF Illinois

tions for which they were created.

WHAT'S BECOME OF HARRiSON'S
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP?

Close observers of the trend of
affairs In the present political campaign
are amused over the sudden lack of
interest i'm the so-called Harrison mu-
nicipal ownership crusade. Some time
ago the agents of the payroll brigade
had the newspapers full day after day
with glowing accounts of the forma.
ton of Harrison municipal ownership
clubs. of the enthusiasm which attend.
ed their formation. etc. In fact. the
Harrison campaign managers would
have the people believe at that time
that municipal ownership was the
watchword on their banners and the
hope within their hearts. Suddenly
there came lull. For days and days
we have not heard a word about the
Harrison municipal ownership bust
ness. Everybody is asking was this,
after all. only an electioncering dodge.
like everything else connected with the
present city administration?
Certainly It looks very remarkable.
to say the least. how suddenly the mu-
nicipal ownership feature of the Har-
rison campaign was dropped.
What has become of Il?
When did 1t disappear?
Let's see. Wasn't II about the time
tnat one Clarence =. barrow positively
declined to become Il candidate for
Mayor?

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION.

From present conditions and indlca-
tlOns, the next judicial election will be
n fair, manly contest, In which the
people will have full and fair OppOr-
tunity to exercise their Judgment in
selecting the most fitting men. Both
parties will nominate full ticket. and
1t now looks as II the Republican rs
we'll as the Democratic judicial con
ventiOn will not be held until about the
middle of April, so that they may be
separated as far as possible from mu'
nicipal politics anu considerations.
This is as it should be, and the people
should watch carefully and be in
sistent that the possibility of this de-
sirable condition of affairs shall be
made a certainty.
The Eagle Is not making any unwar-
ranted boast when it claims some share
of the credit for keeping the approach
ing judicial election out of the mire
of municipal politics. 1t was the first
