WELCOMED BY ZIG NATION
When Lafayette visited This Country,
ths Whole Population Did
Him Honor.


When Lafayette revisited this
country he had no idea of the
greeting he was to receive. No in
timation was given him of a pub
lie demonstration. Indeed, the
modest old hero came in a most
simple and unassuming fashion,
and, not being possessed of riches,
was a little afraid lest his meaas
should not prove sufficient. He
made many anxious inquiries OF
his fellow passengers on the
French packet in regard to, the
prices of living and travelling in
America. A gentleman on board
invited him to make his head
quarters at his Boston residence.
Neither he nor his invited guest
had any thought of the welcome
awaiting the nations former ally.
Mr.. William Stone describes in
his "Reminiscences the recep.
ton in New York harbor.
When the packet was near the
Narrows two men rowed to the
vessel and boarded her. They
were clad in plain civilian dress,
and, after a private conference
with the captain, quietly depart
ed. When the ship reached Stat
en- Island it dropped anchor, much
to the surprise of all, and some
what to the disgust of many of the
passengers.
Suddenly a long line of vessels
was observed coming down the
bay. Steamboats, and sailing
craft of all kinds formed a quite
considerable feet. Yards wert
manned, flags were flying and
bands were playing.
"What is it?" asked Lafayette.
No one could answer save the
captain, and he kept his own coun.
sci.
"Some grand anniversary OF
your republic, messieursw sug-
gested Lafayette.
The gay vessels approached.
making for the French ship, round
which they clustered. One of the
boats steamed alongside, and j
number of gentlemen in official
costume stepped on board. They
were the~governor of New York
and his staff and the mayor of the
city.
Not until the captain of the
French ship introduced these dig
nitaries to General Marquis dc
Lafayette did the old soldier sus.
pect that the demonstration was
all for him. When the truth
dawned on him that this was the
hand of grateful country
stretched out to give him greet
ing, he stood speeches., with the
tears falling fast from his eyes.
As the general bade his Boston
friend good-by, he said:
Monsieur, / shall love New
4 York so we'll / may never be able
to get away from it TO pay you
visit in Boston. Dis grand re.
publique. Won grand peoplew.

sWoRE WASHINGTON IN.
Home Of John Langdon, First Presi-
dent Of Senate, Still Stands
His Political Career.

John Langdon's house still
stands in Portsmouth, Me-, a re-
minder of that mans devotion to
his state and his country, which
he served so well. AS president OF
the first United States senate it
was he who declared the vote of
the infant republic which elected
George Washington to the nation
al presidency. He also admins
tered to Washington the oath of
Office.
John Langdon was one of the
gallant little band of patriots,
including Capt. Thomas Pickering
and Maj John Sullivan, that on
a December night in 1774 went to
Newcastle and surprised the gar
rison at Fort William and Mary.
This was the first overt act of tho
revolution, and it occurred four
months before the battle of Leg
ington.
He was speaker of the provin.
cial legislature in 1776 and 1777,
and that legislative body was in
session at Exeter when the news
of the fall of Ticonderoga came.
Seeing the public credit exhaust
ed, and his compatriots discour-
aged, he arose and said:
81 have $1,000 in hard money.
l will pledge my plate for $1,000
more. l haye70 hogsheads of fToba-
go rum, which will be sold for the
most they will bring. They are at
the service of the state. If we
succeed in defending our firesides
and our homes may be remuner-
ated. If we do not, then the prop
erty will be of no value to me.
Our friend Stark, who SO nobly
maintained the honor Of our state
at Bunker Hill, may be safely in
trusted with the honor of the en-
terprise, and we will check the
progress of Burgoyne.o
1t is a we'll known fact that it
was through John Langdon's no.
bic offer that the gallant little
army was raised that, under the
command of the intrepid Stark,
won everlasting glory at the bat
tie of Bennington.
In November, 1888, he was elect
ed a member of the United States
senate, and became the first pre-
siding officer of that body.
I Later in life he was nominated
for vice president, but declined on
account of his age.
From 1901 to 1906 he was a
member of the New Hampshire
| legislature. And from 1906 to
1903 and 1910 and 1911 was the
governor of that state.
| Themansion on Pleasant street.
Portsmouth, was built by Gov.
Langdon in 1874, and was oc-
cnpied by him until his death in
1919. It is now occupied by one
of his descendants.

THE Hidalgo Advance again
shows up like an old friend after
several weeks absence. From it
we learn the Advance Publishing
company has been organized with
the following officers: John Clos
ner, president; ". F. Sprague:
vice-president; A. E, Chavez,
treasurer: r. A. Marsh, secretary
and business manager. The new
company announces that it has a
new press and material on the way
and will soon enlarge the paper to
seven columns. The management
saws the development of our soil
and resources are astonishing the
country, and we need an organ
which will truthfully present the
facts to the outside world. We do
not expect to take any active part
in the shaping of the politics of
the State or Nation, but when it
comes to telling what is done, and
can be done. in the way of agri-
cultural production down here we
will be found right on deck. "
The HERALD wishes the Advance
and its rev management all the
success such venture deserves.

usually, and the pupils suffer for
the want of this essential to the
best work. If every citizen who is
able would contribute one volume
to the public school, the nucleus
OF a splendid library could be
formed, and this could grad
ually be added to until a first class
library would soon be had. MANY
volumes from outside sources would
also be donated, and the reading
thus furnished the inquiring mind
would cause it to expand and take
a higher view of life and its envi-
ronmentS. Who will be the first
to donate a volume and set the ball
rolling.

An Odd Epitaph.

Franklin's epitaph, where he
compared. himself to an old book,
Is known. to all of us, said an
antiquary. Here is a copy of a
less famous epitaph, the epitaph of
a. matchmaker, George Ritter, who
compared himself to watch that
had run down.
The man took out his notebook.
George Ritter, he said, lived
in New Hampshire, in the town of
Newport. He died in 1922"
Then he read:
Here lies, in horizontal posi-
ton, the outside case of George
Ritter whose abiding place in that
line was an honor to his profession.
Integrity was his handspring, and
prudence the regulator of all the
actions of his life Humane, ger
erous and liberal, his hand never
stopped till he had relieve distress.
He never went wrong, except when
set a-going by people who did not
know his key. Even then he was
easily set right again. He had the
art of dispensing of his time so
we'll that his hours glided by in
one continual round of pleasure
and delight, till an unlucky min
ute put an end to his existence.
He departed this life Sept. il,
1922. His case rests and molders
and decays beneath the sod, but
his good works will never die. =

ATTORNEY JEROME says the trial
of Nan Patterson was a newspaper
trial rather than a trial by jury.
Perhaps if newspaper trials were
more numerous, justice would
more often be done. It makes a
great deal of difference whose OK
is gored, and in this instance Mr..
Jerome was on the wrong side and
was gored by the newspaper
OK. If the newspapers, which
usually reflect public sentiment,
had been against the show girl,
Mr.. Jerome's vocabulary would
have been strained to its utmost
