Rare Washington Relic.

Mrs. F. Luis Mora of New York
awns a Washington relic which, so far
as is known, is the only one of its
kind in existence. It is one of six
medallions which were made to order
for Gen. Lafayette. Before Lafayette
took leave of the officers of his stan,
say the Circle, he had these medal
lions made in Paris and presented
them to the six officers Immediately
ander him. The i've others have dis
appeared and may have been de-
stroyed.
The one In Mrs. Mora's possession
Is made of cut glass bound by q
heavy rim Of solid gold. to which Is
attached q gold ring by which it may
be suspended. Between the two lay.
ers OF glass is q beautifully modelled
head Of Washington in plaster, sill
vered.
On the reverse Is the Inscription.
"Despre1. Rue des Recolets No. 2. q
Paris Washington" N6te the omission
Of the letter ]" In Washington.
The medallion came into Mrs.
Mora's possession through her great
grandfather. Lewis Compton, to whom
Il was presented soon after the reYoau-
uonary wax.

when some security was necessary
against the savages. The living rooms
of that old fort became the cellar of
the mansion reared over them, and in
these compartments were stored dust
clad bottles, bullying casks and those
luscious old hams and the like for
which Virginia was long famous. The
Ole fort still forms the plaza upon
which the main hallway leads; and it
was there in Washington's day that
the young people gathered in the sum
mer evenings to chat and to watch
the moon rise over the river, while
their elders met to discuss the ques-
tons of the day and to watch the
trading craft hat came from over the
sea to barter the silks and satins and
riches of the east in trade for the
famous Oronoko.
In the blue and white room of the
Carlyle house-to the left of the main
hallway-Washington was a sharer
in the military councils of preparation
for the Braddock campaign, and day
after day Braddock's regard for him
rose. In April of 1855 Gen. Brad
dock called together in Alexandria the
governors of Massachusetts,, New
York, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Virginia, and together these distin-
guished executives discussed the plans
of the forthcoming expedition in this
little room.
Across the broad main hallway is
the great drawing room, which in
Washington's day was in gold and
white, and there it is said the youth
full Washington took an active part in
rout and ball and led some fair Vir-
gilman through the stately steps of the
minuet. The broad hallway is not
without It's sentimental interest, be-
cause local tradition asserts that it
was at the foot of the solid mahogany
staircase hat Washington stood
awaiting the coming Of the fair Sallie
Fairfax on the occasion of a ball, and
that the ballroom was where he pro.
posed to the same Sallie and was re.
jected.
1t is believed hat some day that
portion of the deserted hotel which
now stands between the Carlyle house
and the street may be removed sc
thai the house may stand once more
in plain sight of the passerby. There
is little likelihood that the Braddock
house, in it's present condition, will
ever prove an inviting place for the
wayfarer, while it is a constant
menac as a firetrap to the historic
mansion Swallowed within it's quad.
rangular court.

ROCKY BOY INDlANLANDS
OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT.

Secretary Ballinger has issued In
structions to throw open 1.4OO, 900
acres of land in Eastern Montana to
white settlers.
b land a withdrawn about two
years ago for the purpose Of allotting
to the Rocky Boy Indians. The tract
contains the very choicest lands in
Valley County and wherever farming
has been carried on, it has produced
yields of from 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre. 40 to 20 bushels Of
oats and large crops of hay. alfalfa
and vegetables.
There are over 5000 160-acre home
steads in this tract, which is con-
siderable more than the combined total
in the Flathead, Spokane and Occur
d'Alene Reservations, which were
opened to settlement last summer.

LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

about seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. 1t irritated me
SO that 1 began to scratch it and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like a scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health, I lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, OF the
street or in the presence of company,
1 would have to scratch it until l had
the blood running down into my shoe.
I simply cannot describe my suffer
ing during those I'VE years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply %indescrib-
able on paper and n has to expe-
rience it to know what it is.

a few women of the old
families of Virginia, the
house in which George
Washington received the
invitation to become an
aid to Maj. Gen. Braddock in his IA
nous campaign against the French
has been saved from destruction. This
incident in Washington's career is of
special interest, for it was from the
campaign which followed that Wash
ington gained his first insight into the
military methods of European coun-
tries, and Of Great Britain in particu-
lar. The house is the Carlyle house,
in Alexandria, Va. 1t was Braddock's
headquarters while he was in Alex
andria.
The Carlyle house was built upon
the site of an old colonial fort which
guarded the interests of the king and
his traders when the neighborhood
was known as Hunting Creek and

.CONCEALING THE
TRUE SITUATION
Officials Giving Out False or
COIOred Reports Regarding
Spread of Cholera.

Rome. sept 25.-Officia1 announce
ment was made today that one case
Of Asistic cholera has been found in
Naples. II is said ali who were in
contact with the disease have been
isolated and further drastic measures
have been taken TO prevent its spread.
The sanitary staff at Naples has been
reinforced.
Although the fact that the cholera
has been prevalent Tor some time at
Naples. had not been officially an
nounced up to today. it was generally
believed the authorities were keeping
back the truth concerning the disease
a brief report was made to the effect
that ARCHAEOLOGICAL Investigations had
disclosed the disease as castro enter
fits. No mention was made Of cholera,
but CASTRO enteritis is one OF the re-
suits Of that disease. The number OF
cases reported in the last few days has
amounted to hundreds. and yesterday
report showed 100 new cases and so
deaths.
The local authorities in Rome are
taking every precautiOn TO prevent the
entry OF cholera into this city. The
Popolo Romano protests against the
governments further concealment OF
the cholera situation in Naples.
