DISSERTATION OF MT. VERNON
A Shrine In War Times, It Is Now Men.
aced by Penal Colony

From the New York Sun.
There is reason to fear that unless pub
lie sentiment makes itself felt vigorously
and without delay the plan to establish
in the neighborhood of Mount Vernon,
the home of Washington, reformatory
for criminals of the District of Column
ba will be carried out. The district COM
missioners, who have the matter of
charge, seem to be insensible to the i'm
proprety of such a course. Ground in
other parts of Virginia has been offered
them, but SO far without changing their
purpose.
One of the commissioners has said that
the site was chosen after a great deal
Of elaboration" We should say that it
had been chosen with lack of elaboration,
and We are reminded of the respectful at
titude-reverential Is really the proper
word-of the opposing armies during the
civil war toward Mount Vernon. Three
years before It began the home of Wash
ington had been conveyed in trust to an
association of ladies'. who were to main
tain and preserve II as shrine for the
American people All through the great
conflict the soldiers of the two armies
met there in its pauses as friends. A
feeble old man was the caretaker of the
estate ana ne never haQ occasion to
complain of depredations, or even of
trespass, although other parts Of Vir-
ginia were laid waste by the invaders.
Mount Vernon, under the spell of Wash
ington's name, remained shrine in war
as it had been in peace. Yet As years
afterward we find the commissioners of
the District OF Columbia proposing to
build a system of prisons almost within
sight of historic and hitherto treasured
Mount Vernon and inclined to turn a
deaf ear to remonstrance.
The power to go on with this work of
proclamation is vested in these officers of
the national government, and, apparently
II will be exercised unless Congress in
tervenes. We can understand why all
Virginia Is excited about the matter. The
tomb and home of Washington are more
sacred to her people, II such q thing be
possible than to the people of other
states. Virginians with one accord de-
clined to consider the burial of WASH
ington In a stately vault at the national
capital, and so the associations of Mount
Vernon are incidentally precious to them.
We believe that when the people of the
United States outside of Virginia learn
what the commissioners of the District
of Columbia propose to do they will
make their resentment known in terms
equally emphatic and lose no time In in
structing their representatives to compel
the selection Of another site for the re-
fOrmatory Hs

GOSSIP AND SCANDAL.

Many people confuse gossip with
scandal, but the two things are
quite different. The scandal monger
is usually detested, while the gossip
is often universally popular. In
fact the popularity which it brings
in its train is one of the strongest
incentives to gossip. A really ac-
complished gossip is social acqui-
sition.
Thousands of people who do not
gossip themselves like to listen to it.
It saves them the trouble of talking.
The gossip is generally good natured.
The scandal monger seldom is. After
all, what is more interesting than
human nature That is the stock
in trade of the gossip, as it is of the
novelist and the dramatist.-Gentle-
woman.

c-cxATco is 112 YEARS OLD
Ancient Eird Is Somewhat OF Liar
Though on Verge Of the
Grave.

Cockatoos are well known to live
to patriarchal age, and probably the
oldest bird in the world whose age
can be traced with certainty -four
ished in a well-known hosiery at
Tom Ugly's point, near Sydney,
New South Wales.
When he had feathers enough to
distinguish his species, he was rec
ognizable as lemon-crested cocka-
too, but as he had been "under bare
poles" for half a century, few living
people can remember when he had
more covering than he shows at
present.
He was owned for 80 years by .
well-known master mariner of Sgd
ney, who died at the Solomon
islands in 1887, aged eighty-nine.
The bird was presented to the cap
tain when the latter was nine years
of age, and he was then informed
that Cocky was just the same age.
The bird was left as legacy to q
Mrs. Bennett of Sydney, but she
lid not get him until 1891. Since
that period the bird has lived at
Georges river, within sight of where
Captain Cock landed and where
sthe first fleet" anchored about the
year of his birth.
None of his faculties are weak
ened, and he is as loquacious as
youngsters Of his tribe, who may be
hundred years younger. In hila-
rious moments he will flap his
stumps-you could not call. them

Bachelor Of the Dakota Mutual In.
surance COMPANY IS Here.

DOSIVlCt VI llIC U0NUl0 Wutuou ISS
surance Company is Here.
Charles o. Bachelor, agency d.
rector. of the Dakota Mutual In
surance Company, arrived in town
the fore part of the week. The
editor very we'll remembers when
this company was organized-only
four years ago. 1t had always
seemed to be taken for granted by
the general public that life insur-
ance companies, in order to be
successful, must originate in New
York or some of the other older
states. The wonderful success of
the Dakota Mutual, however, has
very effectively shown up the fall
lacy of that assumption. This
company already has five million
dollars of insurance in force and is
therefore the largest financial in
stitution in the state. 1t is differed
by men of the highest character
and ability. The stock of the COM
pany is owned by over 200 bankers
of the state which insures the best
of financial management.
A recent report of the commits
sioner of insurance of South Da-
kota, shows that over $4,000, 900
was taken out of the state last year
in the shape of premiums paid to
foreign fire and life insurance COM
panies. This is not just as it should
be. There should be little better
loyalty to home companies. This
is especially true when they are as
a matter of fact, better for Our pur-
poses than foreign companies. The
Dakota Mutual however is already
past the doubtful stage in its his
tory. 1t is recognized as a big,
safe concern as shown by the fact
that this company wrote more in
surance last year in the state than
any other company doing business
here.
The surplus of the company is
invested in South Dakota real es-
tate loans. Every South Dakotan
knows that there is no safer securi-
ty anywhere. So far the demand
has been so great for loans on land
owned by policy holders that little
if any is made to outsiders. This is
one reason why this company will
do more business in this new sec
ton of the state than any other
company. A person not only gets
the best insurance but in case he
wants loan on his land he can
get it without paying a third party
commissions.
These statements are made adj
visedly. The writer holds a poll
cy with the company and has for
about three years. He has there
fore watched its progress and ex-
amined its statements with more
than ordinary care.
Mr.. Bachelor informs us that he
has written several business men
since coming to town and he is
sure that the company will do a
big business in this new section of
the state.
