I condition Of the boundary stones erected
by the Government when the District
OF Columbia was formed. out of Mary
Z land and Virginia territory. and directs
attention 10 the fact that a number of
I these stones are in a dilapidated cOndi-
Z ton. some of them have fallen down and
: others are In state OF neglect. and un-

For Ten Years of Life

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 1s.-Telling
members o; the Clover Club at its TWEEN
ty-fifth anniversary dinner that while
he himself was ready for death at any
time, Andrew Carnegie has remarked
that he would give S2O0 10000 for assur-
ance OF ten years more of life. Col
4. X Mcclure. old-time editor and dean
of the club, delivered a preachment
against fear OF old age.
"Old age has nothing I'm il 10 fear"
he said with a smile playing about his
lips. When death calls to me / shall
not be afraid"

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1907-01-19

Such q sentiment contrasted markedly
with what Colonel Mcclure said Andrew
Carnegie had admitted TO him in a talk
on life and death.
After dining with Mr.. Carnegie once,
Colonel Mcclure said MI. Carnegie
said 10 me that he would give $500 90 600
TO have "a lease on life. Two hundred
millions. Alec, he said 10 me, that's
what Ia give for a lease on this life.
I'm not hOggisl, either. I'd give il for
ten years only / don't think Carnegie
is afraid of death but ne clings 10 life.
There Is a difference. 1 said. Andy.

LANDoFFIcE RECEIVER SAT-.
TERLuND HAD BEEN ACTIVE
AGAINST PATTERSON.

Bismarck, N. d., May 21.-The de-
Tense drew the first blood this morning
before the grand jury considering the
cases against E. q. Patterson, charged
with violating the liquor laws. The
prosecution challenged three jurors
with an idea of proving personal bias.
A mild sensation was created when it
developed during the examination OF
w. A. FaIconer, deputy state treasurer,
the first juror challenged, that the
friends Of the prosecution, through
John SatterIund, receiver OF the II. S.
IandotIice, had been per1iciousIy active
in circulating d petition asking that
Assistant Attorney General Andrew
Miller be retained to assist in the trial
of the cases.
The fact was brought strongly out
In this connection that the underlying
object Of the anti Patterson faction, iil
seeking to secure Falconer's signature
to the petition, was to disqualify him
as d juror. Had he signed the petition
the state you'd have been able TO show
bias on his part against the defendant
and would thus have succeeded In
unseating him. Fafconer testified that
Satterlnnd was determined to secure
his signature, and refusing TO take no
Cor an answer had asked him three
different times to sign the instrument.
The reason Satteriuna had given for
securing the signatures MTas that
he wanted 10 see blind piggegs
prosecuted Faiconer replied that he
believed IN the enforcement uf all
laws and the prosecution Of all viola

that he was prHjudiced either for or
against the defendant
In failing to sustain the challenge,
Judge Winchester said that nothing

Falconer 10 indicate that he could not
