TROLLEY TO MOUNT VERNON
No Longer Necessary to Sail Down
the Potomac to Reach the
Home of Washington.

In these days of trolley cars and
interurban connections 1t is no longer
necessary to sail down the Potomac
to reach Mount Vernon, although that
is always a pleasant trip. The Wash
ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
trolley cars carry passengers along
the rivers wooded shores, pass
through quaint old Alexandria and on
to an entrance of the estate leading
to the rear of the mansion house. The
train crosses a bridge which has re-
placed the famous old long bridge
over which the Union army marched
in the '60s, a privilege denied the con-
federate troops.
AS soon as the Virginia side is
reached the conductor hangs up cards,
one In the front of the car with the
significant word white" and one in
the back which indicates that back
seats are for colored passengers. This
means that in obedience to the laws
of Virginia you must, If white pas
senger, move from the back seat you
may have legally taken in Washing
ton and leave 1t for the occupancy OF
the negro passengers, who are forbid
den to sit in front. At Arlington
Junction, where passengers change
cars for Arlington National cemetery,
there is small frame station with two
rooms. Over the door of one Is print
ed, For White Passengers" over
the other is the notice, For Colored
Passengers"
Mount Vernon, with its century-old
trees, its formal English gardens, its
hedges of boxvCod, its deer park, its
sun dial, its old-fashioned barn, its
outbuildings for the servants-the
kitchen, the buffers house, the laun-
dry, the spinning house-its kitchen
fireplace, big enough to hold several
men in standing posture, its rolling
acres of velvety LAWNS so reminis-
cent of the estate of an English gen.
tleman that it makes the democracy
of the man who held 1t the more re-
markable. 1t is not strange that after
he had done his work he was content
to remain here and look after his
broad acres. The Mount Vernon
Ladies' association, which through its
state regents holds and cares for the
property, has forever removed from
the nation the fear that the first pres
ident's house would fall into neglect
and decay.

HOW CROP REPORTS ARE MADE
Some Details Of the Comprehensive
System Employed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

While travelling through Georgia I
came across one of the township cor
respondents, appointed by the agricul-
tural department of Washington, who
send in monthly reports regarding the
crop conditions in their counties. says
writer In National Magazine The
details of the comprehensive system
employed by the department in gath
ering crop information from all over
the country are interesting. There are
10000 township correspondents scat
tered all over the Union. whose duty
1t is to go carefully over the territory
and submit each month concrete in
formation as to the condition of all
kinds of crops. In addition to this
branch 5000 county correspondents"
of the township men. A state agent
makes a further report direct from
his agents, and an organization in d.
rect communication with the depart
ment comprising II travelling field
agents." go about the country and
make separate reports for groups OF
states. Special cotton correspondents
are also employed to furnish accurate
information concerning the cotton
yield Five different reports are sent
to Washington each month. by five
different sets of correspondents. This
safeguards the government crop re-
ports for accuracy in local crop re-
ports, and keeps the great crop ac-
count and cost estimates for the mil
lions of American farmers These
records are sent to the agricultural de-
partment. Mr.. Olmstead of the bureau
of statistics, and Mr.. Murray, his as
sistant and a board go over all the
five reports from five distinct groups
of correspondents, and from all the
figures a crop report estimate is dis
tributed to 10000 post offices through
out the county every month.

TREASURY OFFICIAL TALKS
Tells Of Old Evils of Work In the
Department and Then Speaks Of
Some Recent Reforms.

A treasury official got reminiscent
the other day, and began to talk about
some of the old evils of work in the
treasury department and then began
to speak of reforms. Among other re-
forms, he said, was one which the new
school of anti-microbe doctors have
instituted, which he believed to be
very excellent one. This is in teach
ing people that money is filthy lucre.
indeed" he added, when II is made
of paper. Within the last few years
the amount of paper money returned
for cancellation has doubled. Now the
treasury redeems and destroys about
two million dollars in bills daily.
Most of the notes are of the small
er denominations. the one and the two
dollar variety.
People have learned that death
turks in the dirty currency. They like
the idea of clean, new crinky bills in
their pockets. The banks have
learned that their customers like
this, and they are usually ready to re-
deem the old bills, because only the
express charges stand between them
and getting all the clean money they
want.
Formerly note would stay out
for three or four years. Now l think
the average is not over fourteen
months. So, roughly speaking, the en-
tire circulation is renewed about once
in every two years and a half.
"'The government finds 1t costs a
little more, but 1t encourages the re-
newal for all that. The old bills are

punches and then slices them at a
rate of sometimes one million notes

And here is an unusual little bit
of information, also. Do you have any
idea how many new one-dollar bills
it will take to equal in weight $40

guess. Well, it takes 26 new ones

and crumpled it takes only 25. You

must have absorbed to have gained 6

had e voice which fairly bristled with
irony apd sarcasm. before which even
the stoutest heart might quail. His
favorite remark, when speaking to
some new employe, who had been en-

Our first requirement is absolute

One day two young ladies ventured
into the privacy of his Office; they
wore an imperious and somewhat
saucy smile. Bedecked with beautiful
compilations, empire gowns and pic

However, there is a sequel: One
of the attractive young women worked
in the office of the ogre; she was ex-

had strict orders never "to touch any
thing" while on the other hand she
must on no account allow dust or
waste papers to accumulate on the
desk.
And for heavens sake, when get
stamps for a special purpose, don't
go and send them all out on letters"
twenty-five stamps had lain on the
desk for three days; the young woman
knew they belonged in a certain
drawer, but thought it wiser to ad-

This particular morning the ogre ar
rived in an especially exasperated
frame of mind-the breakfast coffee
had not been quite right.
Here" he roared. The young
woman briskly came forward. How
many times have l told you never to
leave stamps lying around? Take
these and put them where l can't see
them"
With surprising speed she whipped
the stamps from his hand, drew them
across her tongue and with a deft
movement plastered them upon the
shiny bald pate of the irate gentle
man. With a low bow and a polite

CONFESSES HIS CRIME
Wiley Parker Turns Highwayman
and Attacks Man on Lonely
Stretch of Road.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Ogden, Feb. 1O.-Halted by a high
wayman at a lonely stretch of the West
Weber road shortly before daylight,
AlOnzO Hadley fought for his life this
morning. Hadley, with his wife, was
returning to his home in West Weber
at about o'clock. Suddenly from the
shadow of some trees a man stepped
into the road and grasped the horse by
the head, accompanying his actions
with a demand that the occupants
climb down from the seat. Hadley
complied, and taking a long chance
rushed the fellow. A battle ensued for
several minutes, in which the would
be highWayman wieldeu jack knife
in an attempt 10 cut Hadley's throat.
Hadley was severely cut about the
arms and chest, alth Ough he received
no serious injury. Mrs. Hadley sWoOned
at the beginning of the fight and fell
from the buggy to the road.
Weakened by the loss of blood, Had
ley was fast being OverpOwered when
the sound of an approaching vehicle
frightened his asSailant into flight
Hurriedly lifting the inert form of his
wife into the buggy, Hadley drove sew
eral miles to his home, the blood flow
ing freely from his wounds, and nOti-
fled the sheTiff's office Several hours
later Wiley Parker, a young man OF
the neighbOrhOod, was arrested at his
home and confessed II the attack, He
said he had no intention of committing
robbery, and had thought the buggy
was that of some boy friends, whom he
had planned to brighten. He was locked
in the county Jail, and will be charged
with assault with deadly weapon and
attempted robbery.
