OF HIGH ESTATE
Washington's Ancestors Distin.
guiShed for Centuries.
High Ideals of the First President a
Heritage From Men Who Had
Made England Great.

February % Is the birthday Of that
son of Virginia and Of old stock Of the
British isles, without whose high en-
deavor and fortltude there would pos
slbly not be upon the earth today
United States of America.
1t is worth our while from time TO
time, even in an irreverent and forget
ful age, to remind ourselves what price
was paid by those who went before us
for the heritage we enjoy-and what
virtues were practiced by them to
make that payment possible and to
complete their purchase.
Washington was of a type that
might fare i'll at the polls these days.
He was austere with an austerity that
some of his contemporaries termed ar
rogance. He was dignified with dig
nifty that would i'll fit the manners of
the hustings and appeals for votes to-
day. He believed In the leadership OF
those whose attachments qualified
them for leadership. He thought that
education and experience in handling
large private affairs were useful to
men intrusted with large public af-
fairs
Under the control Of an iron will he
had violent passions, which now and
again famed out at cowardice or
demagoguery or corruption.
He possessed what was then the
largest private fortune in the thirteen
colonies. He traced his blood for CEN
turtles through line of English "coun-
try gentlemen" and he maintained the
use Of a coat-of-arms granted his fore
bears-a coat of arms perpetuated by
Its suggestion of the coat of arms and
flag of the American Union.
He was moral heir of the barons
who exacted the Great Charter from
King John at Runnymede, of the
school of John Hampden and the
earlier Oliver Cromwell, rather than
of Harrison and Barebones. He would
have been at home with the men who
ousted James ii rather than with those
who finally beheaded Charles the

Observing n poorly dressed man
stagger and fall PROSTATE on the side
walk, a passing physician hurried to
his side and began to feel for his pulse.
Apparently the man was unconscious
and the physician was about to draw
his hypodermic syringe from his medi-
cine bag when workman with a din
ner pail in his hand stepped forward
from the group Of surrounding spec

he said exhibiting a whisky flask in

What Would Seem Like

Examination of old records, espe-
cially official records, reveal many hui
morous writings. On Page oil Of the
first marriage record book in the of
flee of the county clerk is one such.
In that day, which was 1888, il was
the custom for the clergyman or the
justice of the peace or whoever per-
formed the ceremony to come to the
clerks office and personally write into
the records the fact that so and so
had been married by him. On this
page the following inscription appeared
in ink:
"Be it known that on the thirty-first
day Of August, A. D., one thousand
eight hundred and thirty-three a mar
riage license issued to Jacob Hushaw
and Nancy Ayres, both of Marion
county and of lawful age"
Beneath this. written apparently by
the clerk, appeared the additional
statement in pencil:

For If democracy is to govern the

born in great tradition, and that he
was its champion and defender. The

which the American people must
stand, has been developing, mostly in

WILSON FAILS TO
DRAW IN VERMONT

Special Dispatch to THE New fonK IiBRALD.
RUTLAND, VT, July 4.-Johnny VIII
son, middleweight champion, knocked
out AL Demaris of Massachusetts In the
fourth round Of a scheduled eight round
bout here this afternoon.
The function was attended by only
about 500 people and Wilson, who fought
on a percentage basis received less than
$1,000. 1t was the first worlds cham
pionship bout ever held in this state.
Demaris, former navy star, never had
a chance.
Wilson was in excellent condition, but
his opponent manifestly lacked wind
early in the fight and the game became
so slow that the fans present cried
Eight"
Soon after the bell in the fourth round
Wilson landed three straight rights TO
the face and Demaris laid down. lie
was in fighting position by the sixth
count, only to receive two short jabs.
and after a clinch n blow on the Jaw
sent him to the mat for the full count.
Wilson had the better or all the
rounds and many spectators believed
that he could have finished his man
earlier had he chosen. There were
many clinches and the fighting was OF
the short arm type and there were In
sistent demands from the crowd that
the men break away and strike hard.

BY HENRY W. KING.

Harry F. Sinclair's horses captured
two classic stake races at the Aque-
duct track yesterday afternoon and
he was among the $4,000 persons pres
ent to see him win. His Juvenile bay
filly Suweep, by Sweep and Sue Smith,
led home big field of Juvenile fillies
in the Astoria. and his four-year-old
colt Knobbie beat a good field of hand
leap horses in the Carter Handicap,
Suweep was compelled to do her best
to earn the premier honors in the
Astoria. but Knobbie merely galloped
to capture the major portion of the
Carter purse
Suweep followed the pace closely
antil sixteenth of mile from home.
There Sande brought her along with a
rush and twenty yards from the judges
she was in front by moro than D
length. but while she was making h0'
bid Bud Fishers Brocade, daughter
Of Broonstick and Embroidery, was
charging just as fast and probably
faster on the inside, and Stande found
it necessary to do his mightiest to
land his mount home the winner by a
half length.
J. S. Cosden's Henna who had tralled
along with the rear division also made
a determined and belated bid for the
lead and at the finish was only head
behind Brocade.
Fnvorite Practically Left.
The track was sloppy from the recent
rain and all three Of the leaders showed
that they were exceptionally good in the
heavy going. James B. Smiths Silk
Tassel, one of the favorites for the race
was practically left at the post. She
started far behind her field but ran like
the wind and was within striking dis
tance at the end. Although Suweep
was the best as the race was run Silk
Tassel undoubtedly would have given
the winner a hard tussle for steller
honors If she had received a good start.
Sue Smith. the dam OF Suweep is by
the imported Massetto by st. Simon.
The dam Of Sue Smith was hurt badly
in a race at New Orleans and her
owner wanted to destroy her but Rufus
Brush. son of the President of the Cres-
cent City Jockey Club begged for her
and nursed her back to life. Edward
S. Massetto gave the boy service to his
horse. Later Captain S. S. Brown of
Pittsburgh bought the mare and her Ally
for $1,000. The filly won this same
Astoria Stakes for Captain Brown in
1905. Sue Smith was not only fast
racing mare but she distinguished her
self by producing several good race
horses including Meridian and Bon
Homme.
While all race goers knew Knobbie
was an extremely fast horse few be-
lieved he was capable Of making such
speed marves as Careful. Naturalist,
