Visitors to Washington at once be-
come interested in the scattered collec-
ton of memorial trees in the national
capital, and how the passing of the years
has increased alike their beauty and
their number Harpers Weekly of the
18th inst. makes mention of the follow
ing: Notable in point of both age and
historical interest is the noble American
elm that John Quincy Adams planted
with his own hands on the White House
grounds when he was president. He
chose bit of rising ground to the
southeast of the White House, so the
tree todays stands out with more than
ordinary prominence.
President Hayes also planted his own
memorial, an elm. 1t stands near the
west entrance of the roadway leading to
the White House. In April 1892 Presi-
dent Harrison planted the sweetgum
that stands on the lawn northeast of the
White House. Later President McKin
ley set out the scarlet oak on the west
side and it is a landscape feature of the
walk that has been extended to the ex-
ecutive offices.
Two handsome fern leaved beeches on
the White House grounds were planted
by President and Mrs. Roosevelt They
also planted with the assistance of Sec
retaries Wilson and Hitchcock the
! RuSso-American oak on the lawn to the
eastward of the terrace. This tree, set
out April 6, 1904, has a. distinguished
! forbear in the American oak that once
threw its shadow over the old tomb of
| Washington at Mt Vernon. That was
the oak from which Charles Sumner,
when he was senator, secured acorns to
send to the Gar of Russia. These acorns
were planted on the grounds of the
Cars palace near ,Peterhof A splendid
oak bears the following inscription in
Russian. The acorn planted here was
taken from the oak which shades the
tomb of the celebrated and never-to-be-
forgotten Washington; it is presented
to his imperial majesty, the Emperor of
all the Russias, as the sign of the great
est respect by an American.
Near the south entrance of the large
conservatory is the Garfield memorial
acacia 1t was a Seeding placed on
Garfelds coffin by Mason. After the
funeral it was sent to Washington and
planted where it now stands, The neigh
boring acacia on the other side of the
walk is the Gen Albert Pike memorial
Not all of these trees are labeled, conse-
quent1y visitors lose sight of some of
them.
He who plants tree,
He plants youth;
! Vigor won for centuries in sooth;
Life of time, that hints eternity;
Boughs their strength uprear,
New shoots every year
/ On old growths appear.
Thou shalt teach the ages, sturdy tree,
Youth of soul is Immortality.

THE PROHIBITION LAW
Evasions by Selling Substitutes-Sell-
ing Whiskey and Cocaine on Prescrip-
lions Without the Names of the Pa
tients-Methods of Legal Practice in
City Court Criticised.

To the Honorable T. F. Bell, Judge of
the First District Court: We, your
Grand Jury, beg leave to submit the fol-
lowing report;
We have examined I43 cases, found
u true bills, ignored 81 cases and con-
tinued g.
We have examined cases of almost
every kind, from a disturbance of the.
peace to cases of homicide and rape.
In our Investigations we have had be-
fore us many witnesses to examine for
the purpose of ascertaining the extent of
the violation of the prohibition laws. We
have found but few bills for the viola
ton of this law, which is due in part to
the fact that many witnesses are prone
TO withhold evidence on matters affect
ing this question. We submit to the peo-
pie of this parish, whom we represent III
these Investigations, that it is as much
Their duty to give us assistance in arr1v-
ing at a correct concluion in our ind
ings by giving us their testimony RELY
and fully as it is ours to endeavor to ar
rive at Just conclusions. We learn that
there were attempts to evade this law
by selling substitutes for the regular
form of intoxicants, in the shape OF
Hostetter's Bitters, Jamaica ginger and
other substitutes.
Our attention has been called by a
member of the Conservation Commits
sion to the waste of gas in the oil and
gas fields of the parish. We have not
had the opportunity at this session to
make full investigation of this matter,
but expect to have evidence before us at
our next meeting and go fully into the
merits of this matter.
We are informed that cocaine can be
sold unly on a written prescription, each
time, Of a physician; we think that the
same rule should apply to morphine. II
the law does not so apply, we respectful
ly call our legislators attention to the
matter. Our Investigations have also

Oh, when did baby come!
When half the world was dumb,
Babe was dressed in white
In the black dead night.
Oh, baby came from where?
That place is very fair;
The middle of the skies,
The heart of Paradise.
Oh, who sent baby here?
1t was an angel dear,
A spirit of purple flame;
Love is the angels name.
Oh, who was baby's shield
Down from the heavenly field,
Along the pathway dim?
One of the cherubim.

TRIBUTE TO LEE

John Lord in his Beacon Lights of
History writing of Lee and the South
ern Confederacy, gives this beautiful
and Just measure of the mans great
ness:
Most striking among the characters
tics of General Lee was his exalted and
unmatched excellence as a man; his I'M
seIfshness, sweetness, gentleness, pa
thence. love of justice and general eleva
ton of soul. Lee loved to quote Sir
William Hamilton's words: On earth
nothing great but man; in man nothing
great but mind He always added,
however, in mind nothing great save
devotion to truth and duty "
Though a soldier and a very eminent
soldier, Lee retained from the beginning
to the end of his career the entire tenn
per and character of an ideal civilian. He
did not sink the man in the military
man. He was pure of speech and habit,
never Incorporate, never obscene, never
profane, never irreverant. In domestic
life he was absolutely model. Lofty
command did not make him vain.
Lees campaigns and battles exhibit
the triumph of profound intelligence, of
calculation, and of we'll employed force
over numbers and disunited ,counsels.
In a sense, of course, the cause for
which Lee fought was lost; yet very
great part of what he and his comrades
sought, the war actually secured and
assured. Decisions of the United States
Supreme Court since secession give a
sweep and certainty Mo the rights of
states, and limit the central power in
this Republic as had never been done
before. The wild doctrines of Sumner
and Thaddeus Stevens on these points
are not our law If the Union is per-
petual, equally so is each state. The
Republic is an "indestructible union of
indestructible states"
And in as much as the war, better
than aught else could have done, forced
this phase of the Constitution out into
clear expression, General Lee did not
fight in vain.

a queer little smile, half tolerant,
half amused, and began, with great
show Of seriousness, to count them on
his fingers, first of the right hand,
then of the left; after going once or
