If this practice is to be contin-

words, if the courts of the country
are to be interfered with in this
manner and the wheels Of justice
clegged. then we submit that our
courts should cease their efforts
to enforce the criminal laws Of
the country and turn the matter
over to the governor and let us
understand, that at least our pres

OF our state government is suffic-
lent; that he is at the head OF that
so far as matters OF this kind are
concerned, and that the criminal
laws shall not be enf0. ced unless
it suits bis taste. In conclusion,
we desire to say that no effort is
being made to punish DR.. Rodg-
ers or the woman from whom he
says he received the stolen pack~

any crime. The grand jury and

WASH1NGTONS OF SULGRAVE.

Many Americans are making the pill
grimage to Sulgrave, the quaint old
village hat contains the home and
relics of the WashingtOns who gave to
America the fOrDears Of the mighty
George Of cherry tree and Valley Forge
fame.
The house, Uncovered and surround
ed by a garden, is a most picturesque
old structure. The entrance. with the
Washington coat of arms over head, is
exactly as in the old days. Within are
seen large rooms, fOur-poster bed
steds, and fine chimney pieces. The
coat of arms. by the way. shows the
stripes and bars from Which the Stars
and Stripes originated.
The church near. by. containing the
monuments and braSSeS of the family.
was pnt through the painful process OF
restoration twenty years ago, With the
most deplOrable results. Here is tound
another coat of arms in heraldlc co!ofS
on stone. and many more mementOS OF
the Washingtons were kept by the re
storers," piled indiscriminately II a
curious old oak chest hewn out OF the
trunk Of a tree.
1t seems strange that Americans VINO
have spent much money at StTatloro-
on-Avon and other points OF pilgrimage
in England should not come TO the
rescue of these most interesting ola
relics.
