MISTER WU TINa-FANa MANY-sIpED CHARACTER.

Mr.. WI a many-sided character and
excited both confidence and distrust during his
stay in Washington the representative of China.
There were many diplomats who were disposed
to regard with suspicion every move made by the
Chinaman and especially to look askance upon his
cultivation of Americans There were some OFF,
Gals in our government who had similar feel
ing. But away up in the highest rsnks Of the
administration, with the late President Mckinley
and the late Secretary of State John Hay, Mr. WI
was received with confidence. Mr. Hay was very
fond Of this brilliant oriental and had
to regret placing trust in him.
One Of the most interesting chapters in the
history of the Boxer troubles in 1900 was the
faithfulness of Mr. WI and the manner in which

Next in interest to the passing of Wu' to old
Washingtonians is the passing of George Wash
ngton Harvey, one of the most famous epicures
and restaurant keepers this city ever knew. The
name Of Harvey is contemporary with that of the
late John Chamberlain, prince Of hosts and enter
tainers and bon vivant of International reputation.
Harveys has been known for so years as the one
place in Washington where the best of sea food
could always be relied upon. 1t was he that made
steamed oysters" famous the country through.
His brciled lobster and diamond back terrapin
were no less noted and strangers in the capital
city never felt that their visit complete with

Harvey has sold out his business and has re-

A WEEK IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, D. C, is one of the
most beautiful and interesting cities
in the world. Having seen it | Won
der that more people do not go there
for their vacation trips.

been there before. but | was never at
the national capital until a week or
so ago.
A week is not enough time in which
to see Washington. A month would be
better but at least two or three weeks
should be spent in and around the
city
When one gets out of the station
and walks or rides up Pennsylvania
avenue he is apt to be a little disap-
pointed You have heard and read so
much about the magnificence of this
famous Pennsylvania avenue and the
city that you are surprised to find so
many old-fashioned buildings in the
heart of the city. But this disappoint-
ment passes away after a few days
and when you leave you are willing
to vote with the many others that it
is the most beautiful and interesting
city in America.
There is so much to see in Washing
ton that one has to be a professional
tourist to see near all in several
weeks. | am not a professional in this
business and cannot keep up with the
pace of the practiced sight-seer, but

Washington is an old town. The
site was selected by President Wash
ington along about 1890. He had Wis
tied thu place as young surveyor.
Georgetown, now part of Washing
ton, vas founded before that date.
Many buildings in and around Wash
ington are over a hundred years old.
The cornerstone of the magnificent
Capitol building was laid by George
Washington in 1893 and was com
pleteh in 1911. The building has
been enlarged several times and is

During Conclave week in San Fran
cisco. Sir Knight VIM. H. Maneeley OF
1904 N. Seventeenth street, Philadel-
phia. Of Mary Commandery, called at
the Office of the Jno. J. Fulton Co. to
report his recovery.
He stated that he had both Brights
Disease and Diabetes for nine years
and had gotten 80 low that he could
not speak for a half an hour at
time, and had to be put in ice packs.
A leading physician sent him word
that he had had several cases recover
under a preparation made in Califor-
MIA called Fulton's Compound. Ma
neeley sent for it. The third night he
got the first natural sleep in months
and improvement was then gradual
but continuous, until he is now the
picture of health.
Among other we'll known Philadel-
phians who had recovered he mention
ed Richard Filbert, Mrs. e. T. Snow
of 1915 Columbia avenue; also two
residents OF Kensington, whom he told
of It; also the wife of physician and
several others. Masons will know
how to approach Mr.. Maneeley to get
the eternal truth as to the genuine
ness Of this profound discovery.
