HONOR MEMORY
OF WASHINGTON
Great Birthday Will be Ap-
prOpriateIy Observed Here
on Saturday

Preparations are being made for the
appropriate celebration of the 10th
anniversary of Washington's Birthday
on Saturday. The most general cele-
bration will be the exercises in the
public schols. AS the schools are closed
Saturday; the celebration will take
place on Friday. All public offices will
be closed.
All over the city little red hatchets
and the shining paper and candy cher
ries are very much in evidence, and
the children and the children Of a
larger growth" seem 10 have no dis
position to let the birthday of Wash
ington pass without suitable recogni-
ton. The children will celebrate the
day by eating candy, while the older
ones will eat other things, and the &C.
casion promises to be one OF feasting
and general good feeling.
Some of the carping critics have
shown a disposition to prove that about
all Of our great men were common
clay, like the balance of mankind, but
the fame of our own George Washing
ton had been left without a stain until
someone came forward a short time
ago and tried to prove that George
might not have told stories when he
was little but that when he got along
in life he had no objection to avoiding
the issue and lodging his taxes. But
very few people will take much stock
in the tax story and will continue to
cling to the cherry-tree episode, which
lis reported to have occurred when
George was only six years old, there
fore somewhat innocent as to the ways
of the world. There is a false i'm
preston that the youthful George
chopped down the cherry tree, when, as
matter of fact, he only barked It, as
other boys would likely have done under
similar circum stances.

FREIGHT WAR

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD, Feb 1s.-At the last
meeting of the Milford and Philadel-
phia Transportation Company no divi-
dend was declared on the stock and
quite a few shares of the company was
offered for sale.
This condition has been brought
about by the intense rivalry between
the two lines of boats which ply be-
tween Milford and Philadelphia. The
freight rates have been cut so many
times that merchants of the town are
now able to obtain goods by only pay
ing a nominal sum for transportation
charges.
This has given Milford cheaper mar
kets than any town in lower Della
ware, and people from all over the
county now come here to do their
shopping.
