is four column, eight-page folio,
the columns being somewhat wider
than the ordinary newspaper col
umn. 1t was published during the
administration of President John
Adams, containing besides the pro-
ceedings of Congress, an account
of the funeral obsequies attending
the death of the Father of his
country George Washington,
First in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts Of his country
men, and the memorial exercises
10 Congress in respect to his mem
ory. One of the speakers was
John Marshall, afterwards Chief
Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court. Among other things
Mr.. Marshall said:
However public confidence may
change and the public affections fuc-
tuate with respect to Others, yet with
respect to him they have in war and

and as constant as his own exalted
virtues.
"Let US then, Mr.. Speaker, pay the
last tribute of respect and affection |
to our departed friend. Let the grand
council of the nation display those
sentiments which the nation feels"
The paper is an original copy,
having been carefully laid away
and preserved. 1t shows the ear
marks of primitive printing and
the limited facilities of the press
Of those days.

them, but when they undertake to
antagonize the public then there is
decentralization for both, and the
roads haven't gained anything. If
the roads do their duty the public
needn't be feared. When the roads
take into their confidence the trusts
and the combines to the detriment
of the small shipper, they cannot
possibly expect easy sailing, nor
will they be permitted that privi-
lege. So the easiest, fairest and
best method is equal rights and
special privileges to none. When
this line of policy is pursued they
needn't fear the result. Why
should theyl There is a general
combination of railroad interests
and every shipper must use some
road. There is no way to avoid
it. Then what is there to gain by
favoring the large shipper or com
bination of shippers There is on
" one way and that is the right
way, and following that there will
be no necessity of inviting all the
wrists and lawmakers to take

Penny! What had become of him.
To Morse it suddenly seemed hours
since the attack. His plucky comrade
must be strangling. signaling in vain
to be given air or be drawn from his
deadly peril.
Morse groaned aloud It seemed as
if he could see the lifeline jerking
where it hung from the PLATFORM
Penny never stayed down longer than
eight minutes, and the air was kept
circulating constantly. By now what
was his fate? Morse tried to reckon
the time since the helper had fled
from the pump
The gesticulating warriors about
the pump guessed that the apparatus
was part of the gringos' mining out
fit. Perhaps load of treasure was
on the end Of those two lines. They
had already seized the gold box in the
tent, along with the supplies
Morse and Victorio, beneath the
boat, their chins just at the water
level, SO quiet that no ripple be-
trayed their presence, saw three of
the Indians grasped the lifeline and
leap off the platform upon the sand
bar across the creek Then half
dozen bucks took the rope and
dragged it slowly up the beach. The
squaws in the plundered camp
screamed and laughed approval, and
then up through the shoaling water
of the creek there appeared the
d1ans ever secured.
The diver came sprawling through
the sand, huge and helpless at the
end of the line
There was a yell Of astonishment
from the onlookers. The party hold
ing the rope Stacked bit, and Penny
fell in the shadows. Then seeing the
frightful thing struggling to its feet,
alive, huge, and menacing, it's bulk
reflected in the ripp1es, the Indians
shrank back in terror.
Penny staggered up black, shining
monster, the sun rejecting from his
head-piece, the great staring eyes full
on the awe-stricken Indians, his
hands raised to free himself of the
trailing air tube and lines.
The Indians gazed one instant with
dumb fright at this terrible being.
One warrior only, safe across the
creek, retained his senses, and fired
shot after shot at the man1ike inhab-
liant of the dark pool Penny rolled
on and fell forward near the party.
Like scurrying of autumn leaves
every last red man fled to the brush
of the creek bed; the squaws dropped
pots and pans, and biscuit boxes in
the ashes of the camp, and followed.
When. Morse threw the boat from his
shoulders with shout, the last In
dian was scaling the bluff back of the
tent with a howl of terror
Morse plunged into the creek,
swimming across to where Penny
rolled in the sand, trying to unscrew
his face-plate and kicking his leaden
shoes wildly about. Morse thought

in command of the troops on board the

The Thirty-ninth Company of the Coast
Artillery, which will leave the fort to-
morrow. has been stationed so long in
Baltimore that il is practically a local
institution. During the Spanish war It
served in Cuba. but with that exception
il has never left the fort since il became
a coast artillery post. Most OF the mem
bers are Baltimore men. They have
lived in Baltimore all their lives and
many of them have families here. The
company is one OF the crack organ5za-
tons of the service. Men on getting their
discharge from companies stationed as
FAR West as San Francisco nave paid
their fare TO Baltimore for the sake OF
enlstiug in this company.
There was an air of gloom around the
barracks to-day Most Of the married
men and those who have families here
were allowed to spend their time with
them. Very few of the men will be able
TO take them away with them. Fort DE

TO ROW IN HENLEY RACE.
Georgetown VIII Enter an Eight in
Philadelphia.

Following notice posted by Graduate
Coach Murray Russell. TO the effect that
junior crew would positively be sent TO
Philadelphia TO row in the American
Henley if it showed merit at the end OF
Two weeks, thirteen new candidates re-
ported al the Georgetown boathouse on
Monday, and six more VIII be on hand
by the end Of this week
The men who reported on Monday are.
Cronin, starboard. 172 pounds; Tiehe.

the Henley crew on Monday with Cronin

all i'm uniform and rode in the launch with
the coach.
The men expected ont later are Dowd

Buckley, starboard 1S5. and Bielask.
port l6l. both of whom were out earlier
ia the season; ana Murray of the pres
ent varsity crew, who is d junior having
never rowed at Poughkeepsie.
From these weights it viii be seer. that
tue Henley crew viii be heavier than the
present Georgetown varsity. Coach Rus
sell is satisfied that he must get mere
beef in the boat il he is to accomplish
anything this season, ana one or two men
from the Henley crew are certain to
make places IN the varsity boat before
the end of the season if the junior crew
is q success.
The coach has started right in 10 whlp
the crew together. On Monday he took
the eight which was out for the frst
time below Long Bridge a distance OF
three miles each way from the boat
house. On the trip down the men rowed
10y 1oUrs, bus on the return trip. with
the launch close behind, the men were
driven ali the way. Notwithstanding that
the crew lad never been together before
and the men were out for the FIRST time
IN several days.
The Georgetown varsity crew will have
a weeks layoff and then begin hard
training again for the race at Poughkcep-
sic i'm June. The men show TO iii ef-
iecIs OF tuelr nerce struggle al An
napoils last week, except that Lynch IS
suffering from sore hands Coach Rus
sel IS by no means discouraged AT the
defeat suffered NJ the hands OF the Mid
dies. The fact that Georgetown lea the
sailors for the first mile shows that the
stroke and form of The crew are good II
is doubtful If any crew in the country
except the Middics themselves could have
kept up such terrific stroke and finished
so strongly under such adverse conditions
