One huudry and seventy nine years ago today, George Washington was born, near Bridges Greek, Westmore land Co., Virginia. At the age of fifty seven he became president of the United States of Americas ia which pc. sition hs served Tyr. l0mo. and days. He died of pneumonia on Dec. It, 179s, and was, buried at his home at Mt. Veg non, Va. Lu farewell address to the people of the United States on his ap- preaching retirement from the prssi dency, he expressed the following sen- timents: Ut is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking, in free country, should inspire eaGliOn in those intrusted with it's administration !, to confine themselves within their re- spective constitutional spheres, avoid ing, in the exercise of the powers of one department, to encroach upon aa- other, The spirit of encroaGhmenb tends to consolidate the powers ot all departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real depousm. A just estimate of that love of power, and pronsAsss t9, ,abase it which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position"

One oR the best stories going the rounds of the "Smart Set"papers down below is the following. A boy aoci- deutally hearing that his father several years before had met tragic death, asked his mother to tell him about the matter. She pepEed that she would when he had grown older. On his twenty-frst birthday the son recalled to his mother the promise she had made him. She kept her word. The mother told of having been taken to the theatre by her father one evening when fa- nous dancer was drawing crowded and enthusiastic audiences. This particular night tue dancer was given an ovation. En response to the whirlwind of ap- plause and in endeaVoring to excel her self, the fair devotee of Terpsichore tore part of her aimsy silken costume. 'sL can -ememb the scene as if it were but yesterday" continued the mother. sThe dancer was greatly embarrassed over the incident which had beRallen her. Banning to the front of the stage she inquired in a sweet, seductive voice: Is there any gentleman in the audience who cen give me spin% Your father was killed in the rush"

The first holding evidently In
tends to sustain the former holdings
as to the non-colluson affidavit
wherein it was held that the affida-
Wit required by the new law in effect
at the time was the necessary affi-
davit. This part of the holding is
favorable to Mr. O'Keefe 'sconten-
tion.
The second point decided above is
as to the fancy decorating of the
court room, and is In line with the
holding of both Judge Parker and
Judge Larry and is to the effect that
any contract for that work was in
valid
Tie third holding above on the
general contract strikes the root of
the whole case by sustaining the con-
tent;on that has always been made
by Ness attorneys that the con-
tract was void by reason of altera-
tions in the prescribed form of bid
wherein Mr.. O'Keefe adeed the
words, "this bid is conditioned on
being awarded all the work.
The fourth holding is to the same
effect as the third but has reference
to the plumbing and lighting
branches of the contract and turns
on the same super-added words.
The fifth peint decided is of little
consequence. the court sustain ne the
position of the commissioners that
they had right to use the old boil
er provided all bidders had notice OF
their intention to do so.
While we have not the full opin-
ion of the court, it would appear
from the abstract that the only por
ton of the contract left to Mr.. o.
Keefe is the heating of the build
