1t is so common to celebrate the

TO hold ceremonies in commemora-
tion Of their deaths, that the mem

OF the country on December IA. 1899.
the centenary Of the death OF George
washington, attracted wide attention.
Curiously enough, the original sug-
gesuon OF the observance came from
the Grand Lodge OF Freemasons for
the State of Colorado, a part Of this
continent whose existence was known
to Washington only vaguely as a piece
of the great unexplored Spanish
Southwest. 1t is quite as odd that,
after leading Freemasons in the Unit
ed States had taken the plan in hand
and invited the craft in other lands
to cooperate. the first acceptance
should have come, with every mani
festation of enthusiasm, from New
zealand, which in Washington's day
was savage dominion lately discov-
cred and seized by Captain Cook in
the name of King George of England.
Nothing could mark the worlds prog
Hess in the intervening century more
clearly than these circumstances.
Many accounts of Washington's
death. differing in detail, have been
published by the standard historians,
and many theories have been advanc-
cd as to the cause OF it. That he
caught a severe cold, and that this
ran into the disease of the throat
which was then known as quinsy, are
among the settled facts; but whether
his life might not have been pro-
longed but for the copious bleeding
to which he was subjected is still
open to debate. The only official
record we have. perhaps. is that kept
by the secretary, Tobias Lear. In
Il letter to John Adams, he refers to
the fatal ending to the disease and
not to the treatment. This letter runs

Funds are Turned Over to
the Treasurer.
CHILDREN BEING FED
Clothes and Shoes Distribu-
ted Freely.
Those in Charge of the Work and
all Who Have Taken a Hand
Find it Great Pleasure.

The funds, which were secured by
the city school teachers on tag day
were formally turned over to Miss
Anna Fite, the treasurer OF the or
ganization Wednesday evening, and
all bills for supplies which have been
purchased by the teachers and their
assistants for the needy, should be
presented Saturday, at the rooms on
East Center street.
There is no intention, according to
the teachers, of giving over the funds
to the Salvation Army or the Wom-
ans Relief. corps, as these organiza-
tions are busily engaged in their
work at all times, and it Is deemed
unfair to place all the work of relief
on these organizations. Those in
charge of the relief station say that
the work of collecting the money
and the distribution. although taking
much of their time. has been pleas
ant and they are glad of the oppor-
,tunity of assisting those who are in
distress.
Clothing and shoes seem to be most
in demand among those who are being
assisted. Little children, who have
for some time been kept from school
because of the lack of clothing, are
once more in their places. Coal
ranks next in demand among the
poor. In this respect tag day"
might we'll have come earlier. for
while the poor were suffering with
the cold, no relief was at hand, and
now the weather is comparatively
warm. 1t is held that there will,
however, be a plenty of need for coal
before spring proper arrives and
sufficient supply IS given them al
though the amount is small, there be-
ing very many in need.
The food supply is not distributed
to families so much as with the
hungry children in the schools. Din
ners are served at the buildings in
the western portion of the city at the
noon hours very frequently. AS the
children eat, their minds return
home TO those who are less fortunate
even then they and their wishes soon
find expression in words. and clew
is thus found 10 the places, where
there is distress.
Man strange incidents and pecul-
lar circumstances are found by the
relief workers and in all the work is
pleasant. The funds are being rapid
| ly disposed of and the needy are be-
ing as speedily relieved.

STORES TO CLOSE
Clothiers Want to Stay Closed on
Pay Day Evenings.

A number of the clothiers of the
city are circulating petition
along the various dealers with a
view to abandoning the present
method of keeping the stores open
on the evenings of the 10th and
25th of each month. AS pay day
comes on these days for number
of the working men the action
has been thought best in the past
but as trade has not been heavy
on these evenings the clothiers
believe it unnecessary at least for
time. Nearly all the clothiers
have signed the petition.
If the plan succeeds similar
action will no doubt be taken, by
other stores in the city.
