1T it not without significance that while in
! New York Lee made a strenuous effort to
bring about the appointment by Congress of an
official commission committee to go there
and confer with him about matters he declared
to be of the utmost Importance, urging all
possible expedition, as expedition in the
present crisis of affairs is of very material con-
sequence" Precisely what was in his mind We
cannot know, though We may at least believe
he had become hopeless of the success of the
American cause But we do know that on
March 2S 1778 it was Resolved. That Congress
still adjudge it improper to send any of their
members to confer with Gen. Lee upon the
subjects mentioned in his letter" 1t is
rather curious coincidence that the date of that
resolution corresponds with the apparent date
of a document of pivotal interest to which
reference will in a moment be made.
AS have said, there was sharp difference
of opinion about the character and merits Of
Lee. There were Americans of ability and
patriotism, as, for example, Lighthouse Harry
friends of Washington, retained their friend
ship for Lee and were convinced that the
court-martial sentence was far too severe.
They thought that mild punishment for fall
ing to give Washington timely notice of the
disrespectful language in Lees letter to him
would have been sufficient. But the other
hand, there were those who gravely doubted
his fidelity, among them John Laurens, Presi
dent of the Continental Congress, who spoke of
him "a Judas; Alexander Hamilton, who
spoke of him as a driveler or something worse"
and Elias Boudinot, who thought him false to
the cause. More important than the suspicion
entertained By others is the fact that Washing
ton himself seems to have been suspicious. He

did not testify at the trial, and while it was
going on carefully refrained from expressing
any opinion. But in a letter to Joseph Reed,
then president of the Congress, dated July, 1779,
referring to Lees attack on him, Washington
says: ITO be pursued, first under the mark Of
friendship and, when disguise would suit no
longer, as an open calumniator with gross mis-
representations and seh-known falsehoods,
carries an alloy which no temper can bear with
perfect compoSure: What cause then Is
there for such a profusion of venom unless by
an act of public duty in bringing him to trial
at his own solicitation have disappointed him
and raised his ire; or, conceiving that in pro-
portion as he can darken the shades Of my
character he illuminates his own; whether
these say, or motives yet more dark and hidden
govern him I shall not undertake to decide nor
have I time to inquire into them at present"
But the time was to arrive for an inquiry and
decision. In 1856. when the actors in the
Monmouth transaction had passed away, there
was brought to light the document to which
historian, gives the story of how it came to be
uncovered He states that in the Autumn of
1856 Mr. Tomlinson, a dealer in rare manu-
scripts, called on him in New York with
manuscripts found among the papers of Gen.
Sir William Howe, who was the British
commander in chief at New York during part
of the time of Lees detention there. One of
them was manuscript consisting Of nine
foolscap pages. folded in form for filing, and
indorsed in the handwriting of Henry Strachey-

Similar wide use of these i'm

In 1875 the diptheria death rate
in this city was 280 per 100000
A similar rate among the present
population would result in Lhe
death of 19,600 children annually.
At present only 1876 children tlle

TREASURES 0F NATURE AWAIT THE THRIFTY
 IN ALASKA WATERS

Fish liverS enjoy a strong de- mand by drug manufacturers in the States A bid has been made for halibut and cod livers. Yet there is an even better source of oil which contains an efficiency eight times as potent as cod liver oil. It is the lowly ling. This fish inhabits Alaskans lakes and all sluggish streams, or streams hav- ing big eddies and clear water. It grows to 12 pounds in weight and has an exceptionally large liver.
 The ling is a night as we'll as a ground feeder. It is then that he may be taken as fast as hook can be baited and cast in. The best bait is a fish from four to eight inches in length. The bait is fast ened to hook containing about a foot of wire (baling wire will dol, the hook is attached to one end and the other has a small loop. The wire should be threaded thru the bait fish's mouth, and out the rectum, then attached to the line. Above the wire should be attached a heavy sinker capable of holding to the bottom. When fishing, the bait should be raised and lowered just sufficient to keep it moving. The ling does not take in the bait at the first strike. Give him two, then pull. He first kills the bait and then swallows it.
 Skinned, the ling is one of the most toothsome pan fishes. Smok- ed, it cannot be detected from fin nan haddie.
 Maybe here is a grubstake for someone living near a big river or lake. The oil should be extracted in double boiler and kept clear by not being allowed to overheat. Re- cent quotations give it's value as $3.50 a gallon. A large ling liver will produce four or five ounces of oil. Salmon liver oil is also in de-
