The to the most ardent lover It is so birthdays to hold celebrate the of great men, and so rare ceremonies in commemora- tion of their deaths, that the orial exercises which took place un der Masonic auspices in various parts of the country on December 14, 1889, the centenary of the Washington, attracted wide attention. Curiously enough, the original sug gestion of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons for the State of Colorado, a part of this continent whose existence was known common to of the great unexplored Spanish Southwest. It is quite as odd that, after leading Freemasons in the Unit ed States had taken the plan In hand and invited the craft in other lands {0 co-operste., the first acceptance should have come, with every mani festation of enthusiasm, from New Zealand, which In Washington's day was a savage dominion lately discov- ered and seized by Captain Cook In the name of King George of England. Nothing could mark the world’s prog- ress {no the intervening century more clearly than these circumstances. Many accounts of Washington's death, differing In detail, have been published by the standard historians, and many theories have been advanec- to the cause of it. That he caught a severe cold, and that this ran into the disease of the throat walch was then known as quinsy, are among the gettled facts: but whether his life might not have been pro- longed but for the copious bleeding to which he was subjected is still open to debate. The only official record we have, perhaps, is that kept by the secretary, Tobias Lear. In a letter to John Adams, he refers to the fatal ending to the disease and aot to the treatment. This letter runs as follows: ¢d as + * was offered, without the possession of his life, senses he Another that coniemporary Washington informed “that he bad no fear of that his affairs were in good that he had made his will letter tells Dr. death, order, and that hand.” He was ber 18.

When the project for a centennial commemoration first took shape It was proposed to re-enact this entire scene, even to the extreme of having a catafalque borne to the site of the old tomb; but against that feature a loud protest was ralsed, on the ground that it would turn a solemn memorial service into a mere theatrl cal show.

George Ade’s Gum Arabic, When George Ade wintered in Egypt it amused him a good deal to seo the serious way in which his fel- jow tourists took their smattering of Egyptian archaeology, of the Arable tongue and of the ancient Egyptian dynasties. They had picked up all this flimsy knowledge In a week or two's reading, but they acted as though it was the precious fruit of a lifetime's study. At Assouan, one fine day, a young woman from St. Joseph complained that she could not understand the Arabic of her guide. To the crowd that encircled her she pointed out the guide-a bent old fellow with a white beard-—and she said bitterly that, af. ter her thorough study of Arable, i seemed strange that she and this guide could not converse. From the rear of the crowd Mr. Ade called prin A i ATTORNEYS, D. ¥ vorruzy ATTORNEY-AT-LAW ; BELLEFONTE, PA Office North of Court House, el ES EE ieee SN Ww.
