THE TOMB OF WARRINGTON.

An Appeal for Improvement Of Sur
roundinss at Mt. Vernon.
Upon the recent visit 10 the home
of our country's father, the visitor
was impressed with the seeming In
difference Of the nation as regards
the ershrinement Of the remains Of
such an illustrious and beloved hero.
1t Is a disgrace to a nation such as
ours to have allowed this structure
to be built in the first place. and sec
ondly to let the tomb remain as 1t Is.
Our country Is rich in traditions and
sentiment and financially 1t Is able to,
and of right 1t should. own and pro.
tect the grounds SO frequently visited
by children of our much loved cOun-
try. The society which has Mount
Vernon in keeping must needs charge
an admission from visitors to the es-
tate. This Is necessary for the main
tenance of the buildings and grounds.
1t is not that objection is made to
the small admission fee Of Is cents
for each person who enters the gate
way, but 1t does seem fitting that our
nation should own and care for one
Of its most sacred spots, historically.
A more beautiful location can
scarcely be imagined than that Of the
home OF Washington. Situated upon
an eminence overlooking the wide.
calm waters Of the Potomac stands
the quaint, old-fashioned house and
the beautiful trees which for so many
years have guarded the memories long
buried with the dust Of the owners.
George and Martha Washington are
laid at lest side BY side in a horrible
cellar Of a vault. No one curve or
graceful turn has been put into the
structure which incloses these re.
mains. Instead, just the plainest sort
Of brick has been used In the erection,
