WAsHINGToN's ETIQUETTE.
Il Didn't Do to Take liberties viii
Our First President.

President Washington never went to
, congress on public business except in a
stagecoach drawn by six cream colored
horses. The coach was an object which
would excite the admiration Of the
throngs even now in our streets. 1t
was built in the shape of hemisphere.
and its panels were adorned with Gu
pids surrounded with flowers and
fruits. The coachman and positions
were arrayed in gorgeous Hveries Ut
white and scarlet.
The Philadelphia Gazette. a govern
ment organ. regularly gave out court
news for the editicati ton of the citizens
From this journal the people were per-
mitted to learn as much as it was
deemed proper they should know about
the presidents movements. and Il fair
amount of space was also devoted to
Mrs. Washington, who was. however,
not referred to as Mrs. Washington.

loved president" When the president
made his appearance Mt a ball or

from the throng. and the guests or Wis.
itors bowed to him in solemn silence.
Republican simplicity" has only
come in later times. Very few persons
presumed to shake hands with General
Washington. One of his friends. Gou-
verneur Morris. rashly undertook for
a foolish wager to 60 up to him and
slap him on the shoulder. saying. my
dear general. am happy to see you so
WELL" At least there is tradition to
that effect.
The moment fixed upon arrived. and
Mr.. Morris. already half repenting Of
his wager. went up to Washington,
placed his hand upon his shoulder and
uttered the prescribed words. Wash
ington. as the story has it. stepped sud
denly back. fixed his gaze upon Morris
for several moments with an angry
frown until the latter retreated abash-
ed and sought refuge in the crowd. No
one else ever tried Il similar expert |
ment. No royal ievees were more
arranged than those of
our first president.-New York Press

JAMES SINCLAIR
ALIVE And WELL
EASTERN CORRESPONDENTS MIS-.
TAKEN IN CLAIMING EARL OF
cAITHNEss Is DEAD.

Grand Forks, N. d., Jan. 4.-Evi-
IDENTIFY the eastern correspondents are
badly mistaken on several material
facts with regard to James Sutherland
Sinclair, the Earl Of Caithness. who
for many years farmed in the vicinity
OF LAakota, this state. According TO
Rev" Guy Burleson who knew James
Sinclair quite well, that gentleman Is
not deceased, but is now engaged In
the mining of copper at Jerome, Ariz,
He left this state several wears ago
to go into the mining business and
has since pursued that occupation with
considerable success. The statement
also made that he after leaving this
state returned to Europe is not correct.
A number of Lakota friends received
remembrances from him this year.
This fact would Indicate that the
contest now gQihg E.n is not for the
earldom, but for the estate which
some decades ago was alienated from
the title. James Sutherland Sinclair
was the real Earl of Caithness, but ii
was title without an estate, the es :
tate by some whim of the old noble
man having been transferred to an.
other member of the family The
heirs now springing up have there
fore no relation of Earl Sinclair and
the successful one OF the aspirants
will not legally accede to the title
which cannot be alienated from the
eldest son in the family.
These being the facts, it would seem
as though the claim of Mrs. Robert
sutherland, the Boston widow, based
on the supposed relationship between
her husband and the former North
Dakota resident would fall to the
ground. Further developments in this
rather interesting situation are await
ed by North Dakotans who were ac-
quainted with the reticent Scotch earl
who preferred to till North Dakota
soil or work at copper mining than
to stay in his nome land and try to
support dignity on an empty pocket
book.
