4 PILGRIMAGE no MOUNT VERNON

f, On Saturday. June II. instant, the
Hon. William Fl. White. President of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad. will lead a pilgrim
age from the devoted City of Rich
mond to the Tomb oe Washington at
Mount Vernon with tho hope that there
the men and women who have ALREADY
been enlisted for this crusade. and
none others need apply. may catch
Something of the spirit of conscrva-
tism which enabled the Father of his
Country to build so deeply and so vel.

make them ever more careful of the

This was not exactly the way the sub
1ect was presented at the outing of
Brother George ". Stevens and his
side partner. Brother Adams. to Old.
Point last Saturday; but, honor bright
and cross Your heart. it Is really what
the Mount Vernon Pilgrimage means.
This brings us to the point of say
ing that Brother stevens was quite
the thing on Saturday He had
gathered about him Judges and law
yers and special counsel and men of
affairs and number OF the first ladies
in the land, and made them happier
than they had been before for many
moons. They couldn't help it. In
this Anahasis it would not do. of
course. to tell about ali that was said
and done; 1t Is only necessary TO say
that when Brother stevens lays him
self out there Is nothing left that
ought to be put in. That is the rea-
son he Is among the first of the rail-
road men OF the country his attention
TO details having made him much
sought after when it comes to letting
the people know how to get the most
out OF any situation. 1t was his happy
thought, in fact that has made the
Pilgrimage to Mount Vernon one of
the things to be anticipated without
any misgivings.
This may he continued in cur next,
it being entirely out OF keeping with
the proprieties OF the hour at which

position OF the queer things tina. were
done-for example, the dash OF the

THE EcoyoMY OF PARKS.

The unbuilt spaces among the
forests of houses in great cities are
the lungs that give fresh air to the
city" The importance OF such un-
occupied spaces is proved by stalls
tics lately published by Georges Ris-
Ter in French review, in which the
percentage of deaths from tubercu-
iosis is compared with the percentage
Of unbullt spaces in London. Paris
and Berlin.
According to these figures London.
with is per cent free space, has a
percentage of 10 per cent. deaths
from tuberculosis Berlin. with 10 per
cent. free space. has 90 per cent; and
Paris, with As per cent. shows
death percentage from consumption OF
81 per cent. That is to say, London.
with three times the percentage OF
free space that Paris has. loses one
third the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis. Berlin shows about the
same proportions

Victims Only If Years Old.
Only II years of age and coming from
respectable families the boys declare
they had ma idea they had violated the
law until the man whom they after
ward learned was a deputy game war
den told them they had.
The law provides that when a con-
viction is made by a deputy game war
den the sum Of SO is added TO the fne
imposed by the court. This SO goes To-
the game warden as his pay. The dep

claims to be friendly with the young
ster's family.
The fact that the boys told the deputy
they would not hunt rabbits with him

that the game warden has himself only
taken ont a hunting license since tho
present row began. has caused the feel
ing that he should have begun with
men and rot boys, IN his campaign
to prevent game law violations.
