BIOGRAPHICAL.
George Washington was born
Feb. %, 1882, at Bridges Creek,
s in WestmOreland county, Va,
He received his early education
in the Virginia colonial schools
which he quit at 16, when he en-
tered the employ of Lord Fair
fax, an Englishman. For him
Washington did surveying. Later
he took up surveying as a pro-
fession.
. In 1852 he was given the COM
mission of major and adjutant
general in charge of one of the
four military districts OF the
state. His first military work was
against the French at Lake Eric,
and failed. In 1853 he assisted
Cen Forbes in taking Quebec in
Canada and establishing Eng
lands power i'm America.
In 1875 he was made COM
mander of the continental army.
He met the test that proved his
unriyalled fitness for the work.
For three years he kept his heart
and purpose in the face of con-
greSS' inability to get taxes, to
pay the soldiers, to feed them
and the absolute indifference of
the country with so much at
stake. With the aid of France
and his unparalleled military
ability forced the surrender of
CORVALLIS in 1871 and ended the
revolution.
= Then came peace and the con-
VentiOn OF the states and the
adoption OF constitution i'm
1887. After much persuasion he
yielded to the popular demand
and was made the first president
of the United States. Four years
later he again consented TO hold
the reins. After his second term
he went into retirement at Mount
Vernon, and died Dec. II, 1899.

greatest need Of conversation. In
other words, an appeal to the stom-
ach is more powerful in its influence
than an appeal to the reason or the
emotions. Like other animals man
is most tractable when his stomach is
comfortably full
1t is a prevalent weakness among
country correspondents of metropOl-
itan newspapers to characterize the
principals in any piece Of scandal,
elopement or worse, as prominent
society people when, in fact, the
parties have never been in, or aspired
to, or were worthy Of what is known
as society 1t adds to the sensation
alism of the dispatch to say this and
the correspondent considers the ac-
ceptance of what he has filed at the
telegraph office of more Importance
than the good name of society in his
town, from which such occurrences
seriously detract.

The stand pipe will really not have
much to do with this column but feel

that il would be a substantial name
for the miscellaneous creations that

With the foregoing as an introduce

launch into our subjects.
We have just finished reading the
British White Papers, the German

BILL WICKS ELECTED MANAGER
Directors of Rivervew Club of the State Hospital Held MeetingProspects for 1915 Baseball Nine Look Bright -Hockenbrocht Elected Captain.

At a, meeting of the directors of the R1verview club of the Norwich State hospital, Bill Wicks was elected man ager of the Hospital baseball team for the season of 1915. Wicks has had a good deal of experience as a player but has never had any experience as manager. He was captain of the Hos pita1 team during the season of 1910 and led the team through many a hard fought game.
 Prospects for the lineup this year are as follows: Chase as a receiver, may have an equal around these parts, but none better, Harrigan, the old re- liable pitcher is still at the hospital and while there are at present flaw kins, Davis and Russell, the last two unknown quantities in the pitching line ready to help out if necessary.
 First base is open for some good heavy hitter and probably will be well taken care of by the time the season opens. When the name of NCGraW is mentioned as covering the keystone sack it is a foTegone conclusion that that position. At third base will be found Hockenbrocht who will captain the team throughout the season. He covered third base about half of last season and showed sterling qualities. He covered third for the All American
 
 during 1912 having spent three years there serving for Uncle Sam. He is a clean and active player and very popular with all of the players and will prove a great deal of help to the team because of his knowledge of the finer points of the game.
 Shortstop is not filled at present but last year a star performer. Brogan of New London, covered that position
 In the outfield there are Corbett, an fast man on the paths, be- ing the fastest man on the team at 10 yards and sure fielder. Paul White, the Franklin street phenom when it comes to picking them out of the ozone and under the tutorlege of Hockenbrocht will develop into & good batsman.
 The pitchers, Hawkins. Davis and Russell can play the outfield if neces- sary so the outlook for strong team is exceedingly bright.
 The schedule has not been arranged but any of the teams in Eastern Con necucut that are desirous of playing a series of games or single games are requested to arrange for same at an early date and none but the strongest teams are desired. N. F. A. Sachems of the Falls, Eneraids of Willimantic, FoluntoWn. Jewett City. Sterling, any team of Hartford, in fact any team within fifty miles of Norwich can be sure of a warm reception al the hands of the hospital team
 Wicks has the good will and wishes of all of his friends in his new posi- tion.

ONCE PRoNoUNcED wEAKLlNes
Freddie Welsh and Charlie White Were Given Up by Doctors at the Age of 16-Now Strong Boxers,

Freddie Welsh and Charlie White were given up by doctors at the age of 16 years. They were pronounced physical weddings, with but a few years to live.
 Today those once fraH dat-chested boys stand at the top of the boxing ofession-phYsica marvels-power- fUl human motors of strength and endurance. Of course, training did il, But not training alone. Determine ton and constant application brought to these two the athletic perfection and boxing skill sufficient to make fight fans part with $12.0O0 or S15.G00 to see them perform in the same ring.
 Welsh attributes his phsique to the fact that he is a vegetarian. He has not tasted meat since the time. as a slender boy, he was told he had not much chance to spend many years aIuong us. Now at 2S, he is perhaps the speediest boxer in the ring.
 Warned by physicians Whites pa arentS sent him to Bill o'COnuell. While taking his regular exercises Charlie developed so much speed with the gloves that O'Connell's attention was attracted. Two years later the frail kid, developed into pretty tough young fellow, was fightiug the best of the feathers. Charlie is now 2S years of age.
 Two years ago Whites greatest ambition was to get a match with Johnny Ellhane. But the feather weight class couldn't hold him and now with a few added pounds he is to meet the best of the ligntweishts.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK MARKET IRREGULAR Cables and Other Ren1ittances O London Sank to Lowest Rates.

New York, Feb. 15.-Denoralizatio ton in the foreign exchange markets, as indicated by a further decline in cables and other remittances on London to the lowest rates within the recollec- ton of veteran bankers and increased concern respecting the diplomatic sit uation oVershadowed all other con- alterations in today's stock market Sight drafts on London fell to 4.81 and Continental Exchange was affected to a like degree, even Switzerland, Italy and other neutral nations re1ecting the abnormal situation now prevailing in ali the financial markets of the old world,
 The break in London exchange fol lowed enormous offerings of ConmeF, cial bills acquired by our bankers and merchants in connection with heavy sales of our commodities and mer- chandise abroad. In the opinion of experts exchange between New York and most European centers will con t3nue to decline until the Bank of England releases that of the gold now held to it's credit at Ottawa
 Another interesting foreign develop ment, which bore more or less di- rectly upon the exchange situation was the announcement made by rep resentatives of the British govern n1ent, that no joint war loan was con- tem7lated by the allies but that the SAIieSi4CL SL1LSS N men GSpOuSS that cause will be financed as conditions and requirements arise.
 Stocks moved in perfunctory fashion their rise and fall being dominated by the professional element which seemed disposed at the outset to cover out standing commitments Later the short interest became moderately az gressiVe, leading stocks falling from one to almost two points under their best prices of the early session. In the final dealings support gave a better tone to important shares. The closing, however, was somewhat ir- regular.
