After his election to the presidency,
George Washington. whose birthday we
are celebrating to-day by working a lit
tie harder than usual, did tell one rather
inexcusable untruth and did preserve a
record of it in his diary for February the
18th, 1871. The president was making a
southern trip and Fhad tired of the fuss
and feathers with which he was every
where greeted.
TO avoid some of these well meaning
but foolish attentions, the president told
this historic whopper. We quote from his
diary of the above date, the references
being to the Petersburg reception:

on a sound financial basis. Over

part of the plan is to establish q

purpose the sum of $4,000 will be

be put on at the other end for the

PLAYS WITH MATCHES
And LOSES HER LIFE
Five.Year-O Old Vera WarnerSets
Fire to Her Dress and Dies
at Hospital

While playing with matches at her
home, 619 East Rose street, yesterday
morning, Vera Warner, five years old,
set fire to her dress and she was so
severely burned that she died yesterday
afternoon at the city hospital at 3
o'clock
The child was alone in her mothers
bedroom on the second floor, while Mrs.
Warner was in the kitchen. Getting
hold of some matches which had been
left on the dresser the girl proceeded
to scratch them, and in a short time
her little dress was on fire.
Screaming for help Vera ran into the
hall, where she fell. Her mother @hur-
ried to. her and in attempting TO ex-
tinguish the flames was herself badly
burned about the hands, arms and face.
The mother threw the child into the
bed and smothered the fire with blan-
kets, and then called for help.
Neighbors summoned DR.. n. w. Fos-
ter and he Immediately ordered the
child removed to the city hospital. The
police ambulance was called and the
girl was hurried away.
The child's chest, neck, arms and
face were badly burned, and though the
physicians at the hospital did all they
could to save her she died in the after
noon. The girls father is Michael
Warner, a Waterman.
Mrs. Warner was so seriously burned
that she was confined to Der bed.

TRIES TO SAVE PAL
Convicted floidup Man Swears
Companion Is innocent ;.

Coolly and with an unmoVed face
Laddie B. Lynch, convicted holdup
man. yesterday afternoon faced a jury
in Judge Jaggard's court room and
made a sensational attempt to free his
alleged partner in the holdup for which
both men had been indicted. Lynch
stands convicted, and is looking a sem
tence of ten years in the face, but the
instincts of loyalty to a pal appear up
permost in his mind, and his chief OBJ
ject now seems to be the freedom of
James Riley, who is on trial.
Assistant County Attorney O'NeiI
called the convicted man to the stand
in the afternoons session of the court,
and attempted to make him tell Rileys
part in the job. The move resulted in
a boomerang for the state, Lynch MAX
ing every attempt to free Riley, and
also to implicate police officers of I'M
warranted cruelty.
He charged Capt. Clark with beating
him and knocking him down when he
refused to tell his side of the story
These charges resulted in the captain
and Chief O'Connor being called upon
the stand, both denying emphatically
the prisoners statements.
Lynch said that he met Riley shortly
after the holdup, and that while in his
company he was arrested Riley be-
ing with him, the officers naturally
took both men into custody. Lynch
places Riley in the position Of wrong
ed man, and says that he should not
be punished for a crime in which he
had no part.
During the entire testimony Riley
looked on without ever moving mus
Gle. When he was led from the court
room, he threw glance of gratitude
toward Lynch, and muttered some
thing about that youngster being a
brick

CONSUL GREETS WIFE
Mrs. Hams E. Grunow Joins

Hams E. Grunow, the new German
consul stationed in st. Paul, has been
connected with the imperial consular
system of the German empire for many
years. In spite of the fact that he is
only thirty-three years old he has held
important posts in the service all over
the world.
He was acting consul general in Sgd

tive in the Samoan islands, and has
been stationed in Turkey and in the
foreign office at Berlin, besides a num-

drifted down into the streets, Mr..
Grunow said:

TO RELIEVE SCHOOLS
Eight More Rooms to Be Open.
ed in 1st and 9Th Wards

At meeting of the board Of school
inspectors this evening the redistrict-
ing of the First and Sixth wards will
be effected, this being done to arrange
the pupils and fill the additions to the
Phalen and the Douglas schools that
will be opened during the next week.
The formal opening Of the additions
will result in a greatly improved con-
dition in the wards mentioned, where
many children have been attending
half day sessions. In the First ward
the principal relief will be to the Cleve-
land school, where there is an annex
and several halliday sessions. There
will be four rooms opened in the Pha-
len, school, accommodating 200 pupils
and it is expected that this will
result in allowing all pupils to attend
school a full day. Some relief will be
extended to the John Ericsson school,
which is also overcrowded.
In the Sixth ward the principal re-
lief given by opening the four room
addition to the Douglas school will be
to the Lafayette, although pupils will
be taken from other schools to fill the
four rooms. In this ward it will doubt
less be possible to close some rooms
and transfer the teachers to the new
building.
The opening of these eight rooms
puts the grade schools in much better
condition than they have been for some
years, the policy Of the board of school
inspectors to construct at least eight
rooms a year, having ultimately re-
suited in freeing the schools from the
congestion that existed in previous
years.

later report was heard over the
prairie. "Guillmette has get chicken"
observed an acquaintance of his, who
was also walking up the track. But
when he came TO blood on the ties it
was more blood than chicken would
have shed. He followed the red
splashes to brush under which lay
Menegon's body, still warm.
The next heard of Guillmette. he had
reached his old home in Rhode Island
