ANNIVERSARY OF DEA.H
OF Charles Brockden Brown, Recoa-
nized as the First American
NoveIist-His Career.
(Herald Special.1

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 22.-This
day marks the one hundredth ami
Versary of the death in this city OF
Charles Brockden Brown, to whom
historians accord the distinction of
having been the first American novel
list, as well as the first American to
take up literature as a profession ca
pable of yielding one a livelihood.
Brown was born in Philadelphia, Jan
uary II, III, and was of Quaker de-
scent. From early childhood he was
physically delicate, but intellectually
precocious. Before he was ten years
old he had read every book he could
procure. From his eleventh to his
sixteenth year he was a pupil of
Robert Proud, the historian. Geogra-
ply was his favorite study and he
acquired an astonishing knowledge of
the subject. Constant devotion to his
studies and lack of exercise in the
fresh air undermined his delicate
health and led to the development of
the germs of consumption which later,
ended his brilliant career. He began
to study law in the office of Alexander
Wilson, of the Philadelphia bar, but in
his spare time he wrote essays and
poetry and devoted himself to the
study of literature. After a short
time Brown abandoned the study of
law and devoted himself exclusively
to literature, the first professional
writer of this county. Among other
things he wrote THE Dialogue of
Alcuyn" (179O; a series of papers
under the head of 1.-The Man at

ITCHING ECZEMA WASHED AWAY.

you will spend 25 cents on your drug

heal and soothe that terrible itching
eruption?
BY arrangement with the d. d. d.
Laboratories of Chicago we are able
to make a special offer of 25 cent
bottle of their oil of wintergreen COM

We absolutely know that the itch is

STOMACH DEAD, MAN STILL
LIVES.

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation of food, distress
after eating and Indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial di.
gestors, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injuring
beyond repair every nerve in his body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elasti-
city into it, and make it sturdy enough
to digest hearty meal without arti-
fetal aid.
The best prescription for indiges-
ton ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by Bratton Drug Co..
and is rigidly guaranteed to build up
the stomach and cure Indigestion, or
money back
This prescription is named Mi-o-na,
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes for only so cents. Remem-
Der the name, Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
They never fail. They contain ingred-
tents that give quick relief (other
than strong digesters), but they are
compounded for the purpose of making
the stomach strong and energetic
enough to do it's work without the aid
of harmful drugs.

WESTINGHOUSE A MASON
Movement For Erection of National
Masonic Memorial to Washing
ton Launched Today.
(Herald Specially


Alexandria, Va, Feb. PA move
ment for the erection of a national
Masonic memorial to George Washing
ton was officially launched today at a
national gathering of eminent Masons
held under the auspices of Alexandria
Washington Lodge of this city. Grand
master Masons from many sections of
the country attended the meeting this
morning at which a national organiza-
ton was formed to carry out the pro-
ject Later in the day the visitors
journeyed by special train to Mount
Vernon to place a wreath on the tomb
of Washington.
George Washington was initiated as
a member of Masonic Lodge No. 4, of
Fredericksburg on November 4, 1852.
No unusual display was made at his
initiation, and the only relics of the
occasion handed down by the lodge
are the records, the Bible on which
he took the oath, the certificate or
check for two pounds and three shil-
lings, fee for entrance, and the punch
bowl which figured so conspicuously
at the repast following the degree
work.
These relics are highly valued by
the Fredericksburg lodge. The Bible
is in perfect state of preservation,
except for a slight discoloration of
the leaves by age. Only on one occa-
sion were the relics ever taken out of
the city or state, that occasion being
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of Washington's initiation into
Masonry. They were taken then to
Philadelphia, where they were dis
played to the members of Meridian
Sun Lodge No. 1853.
The minutes of the Fredericksburg
lodge speak of the occasion of Wash
ington's initiation in a most casual
way, the secretary noting Washing
ceived a degree"
On the occasion of his receiving
the second degree the secretary noted
it in his minutes in more elaborate |
style than on the occasion of his first |
degree This degree was conferred
the following year. August a, 1853, |
the third degree was conferred on
him, on which occasion the minutes
not only give a record of the business |
of the evening, but also named those
present and their official designation.
In 1777, when the grand lodge of
Virginia was organized, Washington
was rendered the exalted position of
grand master af Masens of Virginia.
the highest honor that could be be-
slowed upon him. He had the honor
also of being the first master of
Alexandria-W Washington Lodge No. %,
over which lodge he presided at the
time of his death.
