on LIQUOR Charge

The postponed hearing Of Harry
Mitchell of Front street was held
Monday morning at 10 o'clock Nit
chell was charged with illegal possess
sion of liquor and when his premises
were searched recently by Deputies
w. II. Dignam and F. A. Marden two
quarts of liquor resembling alcohol
were seized
The testimony Monday morning
was to the effect that the liquor was
what is known as Canadian white
whisky and was brought home from
Springfield two months and three
weeks ago when Mr.. Mitchell went
to that city to accompany the lady,
whom he married to this city. Mr..
Mitchell said that he attended a big
wedding among friends of his nation
atty in Springfield and bought some
of the surplus liquor. there to bring
home to celebrate at his own we'd
ding. When the time came, how
ever. there was no celebration as his
uncle thought there should be none
on account of the recent death of
Mitchells first wife. The liquor was
found on the. mantlepiece of the room
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell sleep,
and was produced in court along
with several glasses which also were
on the shelf. Mitchell said that he
brought home four quarts of the
liquor but had used up two and a
half quarts in sickness and in treat
ing his friends who came in, but
that he had never sold any. Mrs.
Mitchell corroborated her husbands
testimony
Judge Atchley reserved his de-
/ cisfon until 9 o'clock this Tuesday

UGUSTINE WASHINGTON.
~ the father of George, was a
a Virginia planter, the owner
of vast tracts and one OF the rich
est men in the country. He mar
ried Mary Ball, who became the
mother of George. Before her mar
riage she was regarded as one of
the most beautiful girls in Vir-
ginia and woman of rare culture
and dignity. Her well-balanced
mind gave her great influence over
her noble son, which she retained
until the hour of her death. The
Washington family resided on the
banks of the Potomac River in
Westmoreland County, where the
father died when George was ten
years old.
The Province of Virginia offered
scanty means of education. Enough
knowledge for practical business
life was the most that could be OBJ
tanned. Reading, writing, arithme-
tic and the mathematics were alone
within the reach of Washington.
1t is said that he was diligent
student; but that his passion
for active sports and military
exercises was displayed at a
very early age. He delighted in
running, jumping, wrestling, toss.
ing bars, and other feats of
strength and agility. 1t is said
that while at school his reputation
for truth and Judgment was so well
established, that his fellow pupils
were accustomed to make him the

Ernest E. Finnimore was the speak
err He took for his subject "City
Finance" outlining the budget sys-
tenn in vogue in many cities. He gave
a resume of the various appropria-
tons made by the committee on ap-
preparations. saying that many things
are done with the amount of money
appropriated. TIe said that in the
case of the fire department there are
some things lacking, as for instance
a ladder truck, but that such things
can not be purchased unless the ap-
preparations are increased. The main
point of his addressA was that when
the citizen considers the amount of
the appropriation, which is small
along side of the amount of work
done with that money, it is clear that
the amount done is considerably out
of proportion to the amount ex-
pended.

I Lord Fairfax, a friend and neigh.

purchased immense tracts of wild
lands in the rich valleys of the
Allegheny Mountains. These were
to be measured and divided into
lots. The service was difficult and
dangerous. The country swarmed
with hostile Indians, and the hard.
ships of a wilderness were to be
endured. Washington, accompanied
by George Fairfax, performed the
service required with skill and
accuracy. His reputation as sur.

habitants which he acquired was Of
great use to him in subsequent
surveying and military expeditions.

was given many important mis-.
sions to undertake by the Governor

fort of the patrons. The gracious
manner and the tact which were
so marked in Van Buren, in later
years sprang from the contact
which young Van Buren, had with
these travellers while sojourning at
his fathers inn. In the days Of
the tavern, the custom was for
nelghbors and travellers to meet and
discuss the signs of the times and
the politics of the day. There were
few newspapers, and these taverns
were the popular meeting place
for the discussion and dissemina-
ton of the news of the day, and
the. son of the tavern-keeper, keen
and alert, must have been an in
terested witness to these political
discussions. The mother of Van
Buren, was also of Dutch ancestry
and was woman of unusual good
sense and piety. AS farmer and
tavern-keeper, the father was quite
prosperous, and the means of the
family allowed the son to attend
the best schools in the neighbor-
hood. At fourteen years of age
young Van Buren, set about the
study of law. He completed his
STUDIES IN a prominent law office
IN New York, where he met the
brilliant Aaron Burr, whom he
learned to admire greatly. He be-
gan the practice Of law in his ma
tive town and soon thereafter en-
tered upon political career.
Thirty-four years later the tavern
keepers son became the eighth
President of the United States.

Little Louis, who for some months
had invariably concluded his eve
ming prayer with a request to send
him a baby brother, announced to
his mother that he was tired of
praying for what he never got and
that he did not believe that God had
any more little boys to send.
Not long thereafter, however, he
was carried into his mothers room
very early in the morning to see
twin boys who had arrived during
the night. Louis looked at the two
newcomers critically and then OBJ
