WHERE MARTHA WASHINGTON DIED.
Martha Washington did not die in
the same room as her husband, but In
a room in the garret, under whose
sloping roof the heat was insufferable
in summer and the cold not slight in
winter, lighted only by dormer WIN
dow. The lower corner of the door of
this attic room is cut off. This was
done for the convenience Of the cat
which was Mrs. Washington's sole
companion in her lonely vigil Of eigh-
teen months after the generals death,
a companion which the old general
himself had often petted. 1t was the
custom of the family to shut up for
two years room in which death had
occurred, and this was the reason why
Martha and her cat moved to the
shabby and stuffy little garret. \

FAMOUS DOVES OF ST. MARKS.
Birds That Have Been the Pets Of
Nenice For Almost 700 Years.

Every woman that ever went to Ven
ice has fed the pigeons in the square In
front of the Cathedral. Half the men
have done the same thing. But very
few of these tourists know that the
doves Of st. Marks can boast Of an
cestry reaching in an unbroken line to
the famous carrier doves of the thir-
teenth century, which Henry Dandola
sent back to Venice with news of his
victories.
The old chronicles tell how at this
crisis the government declared the
birds from that time forth, throughout
all the ages, blessed, and as such to be
forever after held in reverence and
maintained at public expense. When
Dandola himself came back he set
apart Palm Sunday following his re-
turn as the day Of appropriate bless
ing and ovation to the carrier doves.
Where today the four massive bronze
horses paw the air above the west en-
trance to st. Marks, says the Rosary
Magazine, the principal ceremony OF
the day took place; the liberation OF
large numbers of pigeons. A little roll
Of paper tied to one foot Of each bird
caused it to make uncertain flight,
and in the majority Of cases to fall to
the ground. These pigeons, thus read
lily caught by onlookers, were kept by
them for Easter Sunday, when. by or
der Of the government, the owners
made them into pies for dinner on that
date.
For those that escaped a historic fu-
ture was assured. Whirling aloft, to
finally settle thickly upon upper por-
tions of the royal palace and the By
zantine domes and spires Of st. Mark,
was to the ever ready superstition of
the Venetian indisputable indication
that, the protection Of the long dead
saint from which the church takes its
name having been thus directly sought
by the birds, they were from that mo-
ment to be dedicated to St Mark.
The pigeons Of st. Mark having,
with all due ceremony, been pronounc-
ed sacred and under direct protection
of the tutelary saint of Venice. the
government thereupon placed them
under the more practical earthly care
Of the superintendent of corn stores,
who was solemnly instructed to feed
the birds at the city's expense every
morning in the great piazza.
This practice was kept up until the
troublous times of 1897, when the poor
birds had a sorry time Of 1t, feeding
where and when they might and suf-
fering sad depredations upon their
numbers at the hands Of the irreligious
hungry ones.
Immediately, however, upon restora-
tion of law and order the municipali-
ty, among it's first official acts, decreed
the regular daily feeding Of the pig
cons be at once resumed. The only
change made was that instead Of re-
ceiving their quota Of the city's corn
at 9 o'clock in the morning 1t was
scattered broadcast to them at 2 in
the afternoon.
At the present time the feeding of
the pigeons Of st. Mark is wholly de-
pendent upon the bounty Of strangers.
which, happily, Is most generous.

NATURAL DETECTIVE FORCE,
Why Man Who Commits Crime l
Alaska Cannot Escape.

Why Man Who Commits Crime In
Alaska Cannot Escape.
"WeNhave a better detective force In
the cold country than there Is in the
states" remarked Gov. H. P. Hoggart
Of Alaska.
THAT detective force is nature
When a man commits a crime in the
states he has many places to hide, and
he often manages to evade the author
tiles forever. If one of our people
who does something wrong believes
the climate Of some other country will
better suit his health and he makes
for that country, he undertakes the
impossible. All we have to do Is tc
sit and wait. There is only one way
out of Alaska, and that is by coming
to the coast, and when the criminal
comes To the coast he is sure to be
caught.
so we'll has the United States sig
nal corps done its work in Alaska thai
we have a telegraph line to every min
ing camp of Importance, and when g
man takes leg bail all there is to dc
Is to telegraph to the coast towns, and
the authorities wait for the man. II
would be impossible for the poor fell
low to try to get away by any other
route than the coast, because he would
never live TO relate his experience.
"On the other side Of the coast
range of mountains are vast plains
stretching for many hundreds of miles
wholly uninhabited. On account OF
the haste with which criminals gener-
ally leave there is no time in which tC
provide an adequate outfit, If such q
thing were possible.
But il is seldom that 1t is necessa
ry to make use Of this natural detective
force to track wrongdoers l will venture
to say that there is no country in the
world where the people are as order
ly as they are in Alaska. All the tales
of lawlessness of the mining camps o.
the forty miners are not repeated ir
Alaska. From the very first the peo-
pie have been orderly, and they make
it so uncomfortable for the crimina
who comes among them that he Is
glad to leave-Washington Post
