admire brilliant TALL
ure than solid, substantial success.
And to this, also, may be attribut-
ed the additional fact that, of all the
heroes of the Revolutionary period,
posterity has been inclined to dwarf
the stature of Washington.
For a time his biographers tried to
transform him into a saint. Obvious
ly impossible, this, because, above all
things else, he was a man among men,
a figure in his time which, so far as
obtained to his personality, was not
unlike that of the late King Edward of
England-prone to human weaknesses,
but at the same time gentleman Of
rare tact and dignity.
After it became apparent that Wash
ington was not saint, the trend OF
opinion was to consider him a re-
spectacle numsku1l, creature of cir
cumstances, who managed by luck
never to do the wrong thing. At the
same time, men who, in his day, took
minor parts were exalted into heroes
of the first rank, largely because of
their fondness for epigram and that
further weakness of the general pub
lie. which would rather scent out a
hero of its own than acknowledge to
the greatness Of the obvious, outstand-
ing figure.
All of which would indicate that the
time has about arrived when Wash
ington should be rescued from his
biographers.
Moderation and determination are
the two dominant characteristics OF
which time has not robbed Washing
ton. Of them, the first is the one
which has deprived him of great
deal of the appreciation which has
been lavished on less deserving char
acters.
Whatever the vices Of the man, they
were always held within respectable
restraint. Whatever his virtues, he
never gave them undue prominence.
So it is that, after more than a
century, there has come a tendency
to depreciate the ability OF the one
man who, more than any other, would
naturally be exalted. For long time
it was held that his fame was tar
nished because he swore real oaths
at the battle of Monmouth. That was
succeeded by the present epoch,
which has chosen to regard him as a
loyable gentleman, with enough horse
sense not to make a fool of himself
and. by a series of events over which
he had no control, to become the IA
Their of his country.
And yet it is doubtful If another
character of the age is more to be
admired for its many-sided excellen-
cies. AS man, warrior and statesman,
Washington yields to no figure OF his
time.
What place Washington held, in his
own day, must now become matter
of interest. Shortly after his death.
Felix Faulcon vetoed the opinion OF
the French parliamentarians when he
addressed the legislative assembly as
follows:

and on Christmas day they pro-
claimed their dashing leader William
I, conqueror and king of England"
In apportioning the estates of the
Saxons to his followers the conqueror
bestowed on William de Hertburn the
extensive estate known as Wessyng-
ton, and entitled him to heraldic de-
nomination of his choice. Historic
records show him as one Of the favor
tie knights of the king.
AS a further demonstration of the
Importance of the De Hertburns, or
"Wessyngtons,' history furnished the
information that the estate in question
was under the command of the bishop
of Durham, and situated in locality
exposed to the attack of the Scots OF
northern England. On this border
there was constant warfare, and the
king naturally selected the braVest
and most warlike of his adherents TO
hold lands in the disputed district.
For nine years this country between
Durham and York was laid waste, and
for ten years it was practically
desert, no man having the courage TO
attempt cultivation of the blasted
fields or inhabit the ruined towns.
One hundred thousand people died
in this debatable strip of land, and
there. where active host1lities ever
reigned, the De Hertburns, or Wes-
syngtons, were stationed. Th1s rec
ord of the great family is absolutely
L.
authentic in every detail, having been
nroyed by minute research and per-
sonaI visits to the locality where It's
members were lords OF the sofia
task which embraced fifteen years OF
heraldic investigation.
Later the estate known as Wes-
syngton was spelled and entered OIL
ficially as washington, the proprletors
assuming the same name. linen 1t
was recorded as Washington, ana a
natural change of the owners name
in accordance with that of his lana
followed. The proprietors became
known as William, John, Lawrence
Robert and Nicholas De washington.
EYna1lv the heraldic shields ana
French prefix of de" was dropped
and the modern spelling OF WASH
i-n-g-t-o-n prevailed.
The Washingtons were very prom
inent in the military as well as the
civic phases of English life. In the
DAVIS of Henry the WILL, when tnat
Monarch was in conflict with the pope
of Rome. Lawrence Washington slaeo
with the king, and the latter con-
5sca+ed the monasteries, conVents
and churches of the Roman Cathollc
church giving to this Washington the
crlorave estate, where for over cen
+,,rv the Washington family ruled SUI
nreme. A decline in their fortunes
then appears to have taken place. Iol

RAPED LAWYER FOR DELAY.
Charge of Attempting to Halt the Boil
due Case.

Boston, March l4.-The Boldue trial
made but little progress at the yester-
day morning session of the superior
criminal court. nearly all of the fore
noon being occupied by Timothy w.
Coakley's cross examination of DIR. John
w. johnson, who attended patients at
the house of Mrs. Shattuck, but was
not called upon to do anything for Miss
Marie Bolduc, the dead girl, when her
condition became serious, although he
was in the house at that time without
knowledge that she was there.
DIR. johnson appeared again yesterday
in response to request made by Mr.
Coakley that he be permitted to exam
inc entries of visits in a memorandum
book kept by the doctor. the claim be-
ing the entries were inconsistent with
his direct testimony.
Mr. Coallley had proceeded for 20 min
utes with questions, nearly all of which
were objected to by the district attor-
ney and excluded by the court, when
Assistant District Attorney Levelle arose
and. addressing the court, said it must
be evident to every person in the court
room that a deliberate attempt to de-
hay the trial was being made by Mr..
Coakley, who must know that his ques-
tions were not only immaterial but in
competent Mr.. Lavelle asked that the
time of Mr.. Coakley be limited or that
he be ordered to stop entirely.
John Chase expressed a desire that
Mr.. Coakley confne himself to the sim
gle issue Of whether any of the en-
tries in the memorandum book of DR..
johnson was inconsistent with his d.
rect testimony. and suggested that
short time was all that would he nee
essary to finish with DIR. johnson.
Mr.. Coakley was then permitted to
proceed. and when he was through he
resumed cross examination of Miss
Blanche Eisnor, who was upon the stand
nearly all of Tuesday.
