from prayers for the king to the first Presi-
dent of America. A sermon appropriate
to the occasion was delivered by Bishop
Robert A Gibson of the diocese of Virginia.
Bishop Gibson said in part:
Washington was certainly English in his
sympathies and in his public career, but
no more SO than great many other men
of his time. The number of moral quail
ties which adorned Washington's charac-
ter were not at all uncommon with people
with whom he lived, the difference being
that he possessed these qualities in greater
number and completeness. On the whole
there is a part for which one could not say
of US exactly foolish to call Washington
an Englishman. 1t would be just as SEN
sible to say that John Marshall, Robert
E. Lee and other great men were English

one that he was a virginian and the other
that he was an Englishman.
Both of the views are largely repre-
scented in Massachusetts. Henry CABOT
Lodge takes the ground that he was an
Englishman and John Fiske, on the other
hand stoutly defends his Indebtedness TO
Virginia for the qualities Of greatness
which made him the father Of his country.
The family of Washington were residents
of Virginia for three generations before
Washington was born.
"At the conclusion of the services col
lection was taken up, the funds to be de-
voted to the restoration of historical old
Pohick Church, situated near Mount YER

Torn From Her Moorlngs.

About noon time today the thirty
foot gasoline launch owned by the
San Benito Land and Water Com
pany was torn from its moorings,
just above the freight ferry, by
the great pressure of drift wood
that had accumulated around the
craft during the day. Fortunately
for the owners of the vessel, the
waters drove it near the ferry land
ing, where Mr.. Russell and some
of his men were just able to lay
hold of it and make it fast. The
boat is a very valuable one, and
has just been thoroughly overhaul
ed by Norman Kendall, prior to its
being used by the San Benito Com
pany for towing barges of freight
up the river for the construction of
a pumping plant.

Watching the Levees.

The city marshal has detailed
several policemen to watch the
levees along the river. Near the
wall of Fort Brown the water had
begun to creep up Fifteenth street,
but a few wagon loads of earth
stopped the break there. Three
men have been stationed at a place
near the end of the tracks Of the
St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico
railroad to watch that important
point and prevent if possible the
waters from getting into the upper
end of the city.

The River in Flood.

Heavy rains along the Rio Gran
de Valley and along the line of the
Mexican National as far as Saitillo
has caused the Rio Grande to rise
almost to the very top of the en-
bankments. A tremendous amount
of driftwood has been brought
down the stream during the past
twenty four hours and occasional
Iva carcass of some animal has
.Hoated quietly past this place.
The ferry has been almost i'm
passible at times during the day
and the boatmen have had hard
time navigating the turbulent
waters. Among the driftwood that
has been eddying around the
slack water near the ferry all day
is the carcass of a cow, swollen
and fly covered, and surrounded
by an atmosphere resembling
suIphuretted hydrogen OF some
thing in the gas line even more
Objectionable than that. The
customs officers near the ferry oc-
casionally get a faint Whit, and
as a consequence haye appeared
very restless all day. Once this
morning the ferry boat got en-
tangled in the driftwood and that
old cow just chased the boat
around the eddy three times, and
the passengers and boatman mean
while striving to get away from
the center of atmospheric distur-
bance. There was young lady
in the ferry that time, carrying a
package in her arms, and when
she landed there was not customs
officer who would have inspected
that little package for worlds.
They were glad to let whatever
she carried come in duty free, after
wrestling with the poisoned gases
as she had been doing for half an
hour. Ladies came down 10 the
ferry with the intention of cross
zug, but after watching the waters
for a little time, would shake
their heads and retrace their steps
homeward.
One old lady got into the boat.
