The deed of traat begins by reciting the
cauees wbtefc moved Mr. WUUaauea te
make thU greet gift It says:
Whereas, Tile aubleet of tha proper train
ing and ed neat ion of youth te hablta of in
dustry andneonemy, and the Icnportaaea
of their learning trader, ae that they may
be able te earn their Urine by the labor of
their beted, bin (or a longtime received
my careful attention ; and
Whereas, I am convinced that the aban
donment or dlsnee of the geed old onatem
cf apprenticeship te tradeehea resulted la
many yenng men growing up In Idleness,
which leada te vice and crime and la fraught
with great danger te society ;
And whereat. 1 am Impressed with tha
belief ttat In many worthy Institutions
founded for the free ednostlen of the
yenng! and sometimes even la the publle
schools, the system and course of educa
tion, and the associations and surroundings
connected therewith, often unfit a young
man for a Ufa of manual labor, and lnduea
a false belief in his mind thit te labor with '
his hinds is net respectable and that for
this reason professional and mercantile
pursuits are overcrowded with Incompetent
candidates who meet with failure ind
tbua many who, it they had been differ
ently trained In early life, could have sup.
ported themselves at some trede In comfort
anddeoeney are condemned te idleness
and often te dissipation, beggary and
crlmej
And whereas, Fer nearly thirty yeara I
bave carefully considered this subject, with
the Intention at the proper time of found
ing and endowing a free Institution, te be
located in the city of Philadelphia or ite
vicinity, where, aubjeet te the control of
proper managers and under the direction
and euporvlslen of skillful and expert In
structor, peer and deserving beje oeuld be
gratuitously Instructed In the rudiments of
a geed English education and what la of
equal, it net greater, Importance, trained
te hablta of Industry and economy, and
taught such mechanical trades or handl handl
eraita as may be suited te their several ca
pacities, se that when they arrive at man
heed tbey may be able te support them
selves decently by the labor of their own
hands and beoeme useful and respectable
members ei society ; aa i am wen oon eon oen
vlnood that In tbls country any able-bodied
young man of Indnatrieus and economical
hablta who hsa learned a geed mechanical
trade can net only earn a geed living and
acquire an independence, but also beoeme
a useful and repreied citizen :
And whereas, The time has new arrived
at which 1 can put my long cherished In
tention Inte effect, and devote and dedicate
te the objeet a aufUclent fund out of means
which bave been saved and accumulated
for the purpose;
New, knew all men by these presents,
That 1, isalah V. Williamson, of tha city of
Philadelphia, merchant, In order te carry
out the object 1 ae long have had In view,
in the hope of supplying a long felt want
In the community, and with the intention
and design of founding and endowing In
perpetuity an Institution te be known aa
The Wllllamten Free Soheol or Mechani

the school, de hereby make, cenatttute and
appoint my friends Jehn Batrd, Jamee O.
Broeka,LemuelOelfin,Edward Lengstretb,
William O. Ludwlg, Henry O. Tewnaend
and Jehn Wanamaker, all of the city of
Philadelphia, and thelr suoeeeaora in the
trust appointed or created aa hereinafter
directed, the ttuiteea te held the title te,
erect, equip, maintain, direct and manage
the school upon, under and subject te the
trusts, oenfldenoea and conditions herein
after declared of and oenoernlng the same,
which aald trustees and their successors in
the trust Bhall ba known as the trustees of
the Williamson Free Scheel of Mechanical
Trades, and are In tbls deed hereafter des
ignated the trustees, and whose names I
have hereinabeve Inserted In alphabetical
order, ee as t3 remove any impression of
preferenee en my part ter either or any,
which might otherwise be drawn from the
order In which tbey might have been
named.
Tee trustees are te purchase a body of
land, net exceeding three hundred acres, in
some suburban part of Philadelphia or in
either of the counties or Becks, Delawareer
Montgomery. Mr. Williamson dlreeia that
no higher sum than an average of MOO per
acre shall be paid, and that eueh land shall
be selected as has a geed drainage of soil
and sub tell, aa ilea in an elevated and
healthy situation, contiguous or convenient
te railroad connection with the elty of
Philadelphia, and particularly that It ahall
be situated where an abundant supply of
geed water can at all times be had, and
where the drainage and sewerage of the
school can be properly and securely earrled
cQ or disposed of, ae as te avoid the danger
cf disease resulting from Improper or Im
perfect drainage.
He also directs that all the principal
buildings and ereotlens shall be constructed
or stone or brick, and made aa nearly fire
proof t possible. He then aaya :
"I leave te the Judgment and discretion
of the trustees the character, number and
extent of the aald buildings te be ended,
but aa the great object te be attained is te
beard, ledge, clothe, educate and Instruct
In meobanleal tradea these who when ar
rived at manhood will be obliged te labor
with their handa for their support, I par
ticularly direct that all palatial structures,
expensive materials and elaborate orna
mentation or deoerationa shall be avoided,
ae that the scholars msy net by reason of
luxurious or expensive accommodations
and surroundings acquire tastes or hablta
which may until them for their tradea In
the sphere of life in whleh their lets are te
De east."
The trustees are made the sole Jndgea sa
te what are the neeeasary expenses for the
maintenance, support, management, re
newal or repairs of the ectoel and lis ap ap
pur.enanees, and of the lands, buildings,
improvements, furniture, stock, materials,
machinery, tools, Implements, plant and
equipment thereto. The money te meet
tbeae expenses Is te be taken from the in in in
oemoof the endowment fund. The trus
tees are empowered te employ at proper
compensation, te be fixed by them, com
petent effleers, Uaebers, Instructors, agents
meobantes, workmen and servants te take
charge of the said school, and te feed,
olethe, educate and Instruct in trades aa
hereinafter provided all who may be ad
mitted aa scholars te the soheol.
When the school is prepared te receive
scholars the trustees ate dlreeted te receive
and admit te the soheol as scholars aa many
able-bodied and healthy young male per
sons of geed moral oharaeter, of sneh ages
between twelve and eighteen years, as msy
from time te time be determined by the
trustees, as In the opinion of the trustees
the extent, oapaeity and Inesme of the
school will provide for. Preference shall
be given In the admission of schelars:
First, te these born in the city of Phlladel
phls; second, te these born In the county
of Backs, State of Pennsylvania ; third, te
these born in Montgomery or Delaware
counties. Pennsylvania; fourth, te these

sixth, te these born elsewhere In the United

Bat I especially dlreet that no eohelar who
baa been properly admitted with referenee

be displaced te make way for any later or
subsequent applicant who may be higher

son school Kagush education, tee coarse
total left te tM discretion of the trustees,
Mr. Williamson requests the trustee,
however, te at all Umea bear la mind the
fact that the main objeet I have In view Is
te train young men te mechanical trader,
ae that they may earn their awn living,
and that while the acquisition of any
branches of an English education whleh
may te of aid te them In their several
tradea la neeeasary and Important, any
higher or advaceed knowledge whleh
might render them dlisatlsfled with or
unfit ler their emnlevmente Is unnecessary
and may be dlsadvantageeua. I express
ly dlreet that each and every scholar shall
be compelled te learn and be thoroughly
instructed in one geed mechanical trade,
se that when tbey leave tbe school
en tbe completion of their In
dentures they may be able te enppcrtthem
elves by thejlsber of, their own hands. I
leave te the discretion of the trueteea the
selection of the seveial kinds of mechanical
tradea te be taught, and the determination
of the partleuiar one that shall be taught te
and acquired by each aohelsr, but I parti
cularly desire that the taste, oapaeity. In
telligence and adaptability of each aohelsr
be ascertained and considered tefere as
signing him te any particular trade.
Among tha tradea which my be taasht are
these of baker, blacksmith, bricklayer,
butcher, cabinetmaker, carbullder, carpen
ter, earrlagemaker, coppersmith, tbe crafts
of constructing, managing and repairing
electrleal appllaneea and apparatus, feun.
drymen gesfitter, goldbeater harness,
maker, natter, locksmith, machinist, rrar
blemaeen, meulder, painter, paperbanger,
patternmaker, plasterer, plumber, printer,
saddler, shoemaker, steam engineer, slater,
stonecutter, stonemason, tailor, tiler, tin
smith, turner, wheelwright and many
ethers.
I desire and dlreet that tbe moral and
reilglene training of the scholars shall be
property toexeo alter ana esrea ler ey me
trustees, hat that there shell be no attempt
by the trustees at preselytlsm among the
scholar, and no faveiltlsm shown by the
trustees te any particular sect or creed. I
especially dlreet that oaeh aohelsr ahall bn
taught te apeak tbe truth at all times, and I
particularly dlreetand ehare aa an Impera
tive duty upon tbe trustees thst each and
every scholar aball be thoroughly trained te
habits of frugality, economy and Industry,
and above all ethers the one great lessen
whleh I deelre te bave Impressed upon
every eohelar and Inmate or tbe soheol la
that In tbls oenntry every able-bodied,
healthy young man who has learned a
geed mechanical trade and la truthful,
honest, frugal, temperate and Industrious
Is certain te auoeeed in life and te beoeme
a useful and respected member of society.
The trustees are prohibited from except
ing any fees, rewards or ether compensa
tion from or en account of any eohelar, as
all the advantages are te be gratuitous.

Mr. and Mrs. eitvslaaa.
The wife of Heeretary Whitney says te a
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Tribunt :
11 1 am glad, very glad, " ahe said warm
ly, " te have this opportunity te be quoted
ou this lubjeet. I have been often tempted
te speak or write oenoernlng these stories
about the prisldent. In fact, I hays round
It hard te keep still, and bave several times
aaxea wr. wmtney 10 lei me nave my say
for tbe publle ear. My Indignation baa been
ae great that 1 oeuld hardly refrain from
rushing into print, l nave held my peace,
however, up te thia time, and would ojn ejn ojn
tinuetedoso were It net for the fset that at a
dinner party In New Yerk only two weeks
age no lees a gentleman than Mr. Ohauneey
M. Depew amnseil the guests by repeating
msny or the vile stories about the presi
dent's conduct toward his wire. It is In
credible thst a man or Mr. Depew's stand
lng and oharaeter should help give cur
rency te such vile stories, but this instance
shows the manner In which the whole
scandal has been stirred up. I de net be
lieve Mr. Djpew would undertake per.
aenally te vouea for the stories whleh he
told at that dlnter, but he told them, aid
doubtless most of these that baud him
have since been telling them ever te their
friends. Oh I It is shameful I
11 The only story told by Mr. Depew en
this occasion, in whleh names were used,
or sny particular story which one oeuld
take bold of, waa the old story about Mr.
Watterson, of Kentucky, taking Mrs.
Cleveland te the threatre one night. Ac
cording te the story, the president was
angry because bis wife went te the theatre
and en her return he upbraided her, called
her wicked names, and finally slapped her
raee. te is inoreaieie awry waa ieia ey
Mr. Depew as having been started by Mr.
Watterson himself. A gentleman who was
at that dinner party and knew Mr. Wat
terson, wrote him for the fact. Mr.
Watterson replied that ha had escorted
Mrs, Cleveland te Attaugh'a opera house;
that the president hlmsjir did net se. be
came he waa se bnsy with his work, and
that en their return te the White Heuso the
pres'denthad chatted and laughed good geod goed
naturedly and courteously thanked Mr.
Watterson for his kindness. Thus that
story was disposed of, and If the people
who tell these lies would only give some
names or particulars, one after another
oeuld be taken up in the same manner
and effectually dlspoteder. But when a
man like Mr. Dspew, who, ene would
think, baa tee mueh principle te de such a
thing, becomes the meaus et spreading
,snch stories about the president or the
United States, I think It time, Indeed, tbat
some one competent te speak comes out In
publle and denounces every one of the
stories aa utterly false and baieles.
"Hew the slanders ever stsrted In tbe
first place I don't pretend te knew," con
tinued Mrs. Whitney, " but we have always
understood that many of them had their
origin en tbe hill.' I shouldn't wish te
ssy that Mr. Ingalia baa knowingly aet In
circulation a false story, but he has been
bitter and vindictive against the president.
Te us,wbe knew tbe president and his wife
well and even intimately, who knew the
whole romance et their marriage and of
their wedded life, it is incredible tbat
any one sbenld for a moment believe
tbat be haa been ernel te his wife, and
haaever beensosaaebof a bruteasteatrlke
her. Mr. Cleveland has often talked te
me of her relations te her husband befete
their marriage, of his tender watehfulneta
snd care for her, of ber respect and childish
affection for him, of her looking up te hlu,
and of his looking forward with some hope
te what aetually followed. Te us who
knew the facts, there has always been some
thing sweet and pretty about 11 all her
years of gayety In girlhood, her experience
abroad as a haudeeme and winsome girl,
bnt always thinking; et him, and finally
oemtog back te him. She didn't marry him
beeause he was president of the United
States, and would doubtless bave married
him had he net been a f tmeus mtn, though
of course It was only natural that bis high
station had a certain glamour and attraotlen
for her.
"We had an excellent opportunity tn
Judge of tbe tendernesi and ssntlmentcf
ineir relations while they were with ns en
our Southern trip,. Fer a wet we lived
together en tbe train. We were all amused
at their lever likeness. The president
never passed her wlthent stepping te pat
ber en the head or te put bis hand under
her ehtn and lift her lace toward hie. She
never passed him without a loving touch,
or a klas, or a geed hug. We laughed a
little at them and told them tbat tbey were
apoenoy in tbe geed old fsshien. Homf Hemf
tlmes Mrs. Cleveland would be sitting in
one end of the car reading a book. If she
ohanced te leek up and aee the president
alone, she would threw down her book and
rush te him like a girl, and begin te talk te
and ainuse him. What their relationship
was then It new Is. The has neter bean
any change, and the happy course of tbt ir
domestle life has never been Interrupted
by nn unkind word, leek or thought. I
speak with tbn authority of one who knew.
" Wby, at Oak VIew this last aummer,
ttelr life was meat charming. It waa Ideal,
a model for all the millions of geed acd
happy homes In tbls country. We used te
see them every day. Often, of an evening
we ran ever from our home at Grasslands,
which you knew is close te Oak Ylew, snd
found them sitting together, tbe president
in bis boue-ooat, working at Lit table for
he's always at work end she close by him
with her book, her dogs about her, or her
embroidery In her Isp. Tbey made sueh a
aweet and simple pletnre there, that 1 wish
all these eoandalmengers could have looked
In en them and been rebuked with their
own eyes.
It seems tbat if the people wenld only
use their reaen, they would see hew ab
surd sueh stories are. The president la
much elder than his wife. It Is only
natural tbat be Bheuld delight In her com
panionship and tlltctloe, that be should de
all In his power te retain ber love, that he
ahenld be fend et ber and want her te be
fend et htm, Beilde, be la a gentlemai.
Since he hia been In the White Heuse,
be has never spoken an unkind or
rode word te any ene, much less te tbe
sweet girl be was se fortunate aa te win.
He Is a Presbyterian and the bleed of a gen
eratlen et Presbyterian ministers la In his
veins. That does net make geed men, nor
cruel men. On her part, she has delighted
In making his work lighter by her gayety
and llttle womanly attentions aud tn
filling Jnst the (lace In bis life ahe
ought te fill. She baa been proud of him,
of ecutse, as a wlfe abeald be, and Mr.
Whitney has often remarket et ber: 'She
Is just tbe wile for a working man.' The
presMent scknewledges ber influence ever
him, for ahe baa taken held and managed
him In all the little domestle udelrs, Juki as
any aweet and loving wife will manage ber
husband. He semetlmts laughs at tbe ease
with wbleh she, in her pretty way, mevea
him about,
And then they say the president gets
drunk. Tbls is as falae an all the rest. He
la net a drinking man. I don't believe be
waa ever intoxicated In his life. He la a
temperate man. Sometimes he lakes a bit
et whisky and water with bis frlenda or
guests, but be does net drink a the word
is commonly used, and I knew It; nor la
be given te ovtr-eatleir, or any
sueh bid habits. I supposed, because the
president is Urge, and is se unfortunate as
te bave a face tbat Is net without some
grestnees, he Is set down aa being a Rresa
iuan, of luerdlnateappetiteand bad lern per.
1 oinnet otherwise understand hew rational
people can give credence te someef tbe
tterles told about him, for be Is gentle.con gentle.cen
slderate, even tempered, and klud te every
one about him."

was shown this afternoon by a representa
tive of the United Piees an Interview with
Mrs. Whitney, In whleh she Is quoted aa

JUIII0B STERHIrt OR STATE TAXES.
KheOattea er asset, otTaaOetltetenaad
of the assessed Deflaitf,
Judge Bterrltr, of the supreme court, has
banded down a rery important decision
upon thedntlessndresnonslbllllteaef
sere and also of tax payers. It was given In
the ease et Albright vp. VanNert, In whleh
the latter appealed te the supreme court
from the decision of J udte Arehbald. The
raeta In the case, sa alleged, wsrettheee:
Chaa. F.V.nNert bslag collector etatate and
county taxes for 1898, alleged that Albright
made no returns te the assessor of property
te be assessed. The assessor made a return
for Albrlthtaoeordlogtotheact et assem
bly of 1885, estimating tbe amount from
the best Information st his command. In
this assessment, among ether things, were
two merfgsgee In favor of Mr. Albright,
trustee, aggregating ever iGOO.OOO. Netice
of tbl assesiment and the dsy fixed for
appeal were euiy served en Mr. Amngnt.
But he paid no attention te the matter
nntll the payment of the taxes was de
manded by tbe collector. Mr. Albright
then appealed te tbe commissioners, alter
ing that he was misled by the notice served
en him by the assetaer; that tbe figures
thereon were se pointed cfTaste Indicate
an assessment et 1012 08 Instead of (Ota,
088 and for that reason he permitted the
day of appeal te pas. Mr. Albright ob
tained an Injunction in oeurt restraining
the tax collector from collecting the taxes.
The Injunction wss sustained by Judge
Arehbald. Van Nert then appealed from
thedeolslen te the supreme mart. The
supreme court held among ether things.
"Assuming tbat complainant was misled
by the notiee, as te the aggregate amount
of the asaerament, it waa of course a geed
reason for according or offering te accord
him a hearing aa thengh he had appeared
and demanded It en the day fixed for
appeal, bnt It was no reason for tellevlng
him from the duty et making a oerreoted
return, sueh as Is sntherlsed by the pro
viso of the 0th section of the act, and wl.leh
the commissioners might and doubtless
would bave subtltnted for tbe return made
by tbe assessor. The assessment wss net
rendered veld by the alleged mistake of
the assessor in erroneously pointing off
the figures showing tbe aggregate amount
or In net returning the mortgage as trust
Instead of Individual securities. At meat
theee weie mere Irregularities or error
that oeuld be oerreoted whenever dis
covered, subject te cemplainantailght te be
beard, aa en appeal after the correction was
mean, xnai rigni me commissioners were
willing te reoegnlze, and accordingly pro
posed that If oemplalnant would then
make the' return contemplated by the pro pre pro
vlae above relerred te, tbey would substi
tute the same for tbe return made by the
assessor. One et the commissioner in his
affidavit says, complainant called at their
cfllee aeveral times and attempted or en
deavored te bave some portion of the assess
ment stricken off; that be waa requested
by the commit sleners te make the retnrn
provided by law, but he refused te de se "
When the tsx payer refuses te mske his
own return and by his silence acquiesces in
that of the assessor, it may be safely as
sumed tbe amount returned plus the added
penally, deea net exeeed the amount en
which Is Justly payable, and in the absence
or mere rellabie data, that sum may be
taken by tbe assessor as a aafe guide !u
making the subsequent return ; in ease tbe
taxpayer doe net make It himself. Indeed
It would be a most ruinous oensequenoe.
It just when the tax colleetoroomea around
te demand taxes assessed In due form, a
court et eqnlty should Interfere by Injunc
tion. In concluding Judge Sterritt further
ssyst The power te make tbe return and
assess undoubtedly existed In tbls ewe;
tbat there anpesrs te be no equity In it and
the injunction was erroneously granted.
The decision defines very speolfleally.the
duties of the assessor and assessed en tbe
question of asatasmenta for state taxation,

New Yerk, Dee. 8 The ferryboat
Maryland, et the New Yerk fc New
Haven railroad, whleh conveys ewe by
water te ether railroads, was burned te the
water's edge In the Harlem river after mid
h'lht, together with two Pullman ears, two
oeaohea and an "accommodation" ear.
There were twenty-tour passengers In the
ears at the time et the fire, but they were
reseued, as well as tbe beat and train hands,
Without mlahap, by the tugboat
When the train was run aboard the Mary
land at Jeissy city at about Un o'clock
everything was all right Besides the ex
press there were several freight ears aboard.
As usual, the Maryland reached her desti
nation en tbe Harlem river at eleven o'cleok
with everything snug and laat After
she had made fast her perUrs.and train
handa en the express began te make pre pre
piratlena for the transfer el the ears te the
yard. Just as the locomotive that waa te
draw the train te Bosten was backing down
te ths beat preparatory te hooking fast te the
care, and the few persons In tbe passenger
coach, who had been aroused from their
nap, turned ever again the uncom uncem uncom
fertable seat preparatory te renewing
their slumbers, the cry or fire
rang out from one of the sleepers.
In leas time than It take te tell II the
engineer, who was backing hia engine
down toward the Irate, had made fast le
the sleepers, and was dragging them off
the beat and ever the bridge te terra firms.
While this was being done the several
porters and oenduotor et the train weie
hurrying through the ears arousing the
sleeping passengers.
Tee scene that ensued was a meat thrill
leg one. Already the reefs et both ears
were en lire. The men aad women In tbe
berths, realising tbat tbey had no time te
spare, wete tumbling out, and, without
waiting te dress or even te plek up hastily
any et their garments or valuables, 11 sd pell
mell for the platforms. They Jostled and
fenght In the narrow aisles In their frensy.
Almest before the ears had corns te a
standstill en Ihe traeks In the yard the men
were dropping oil the steps. The porters,
who were aa oeol as oeuld be expected
nndertbeclroumstanees, worked like heroes,
and but for their efforts probably net a
soul would be alive te tell the tale. The
half naked and badly seared passengers
were hurtled up theysrd le the passenger
aailen, where tbey were cared for by the
depot bands.
As seen as the eaptaln of the Maryland,
who wrs still In the pilot house, discovered
that hia beat waa en fire be began te blew
hi whistle furiously ler asstatancs, but the
fire, whleh had broken out mldahlpe,
spread se rspldly that he, aa well as the
pilot, engineer and deck hands, had te
abandon the beat and flee for their Uvea.
In less thsn ten minutes after the tire waa
disoevered the beat, whleh was old and
therefore my dry, was a hnge mass of
flamea. The estimated less Is from a quar
ter te a third of a million dollars.
The Maryland waa eyer 200 feet In length
and owned by the Pennsylvania railroad
company, and was used te transport through
traina from Philadelphia, Baltimore and
the Seuth and Weat te Bosten and the East
and bad double traeks en beard, capable or
holding four large Pullman ears and four
baggage cara. At 3 o'clock thia morning a
new train waa made up te take the passen
gers en their way te Bosten.

Maryland last night may be briefly oon eon oen
densed as fellows : The fire was first dis
covered in the kitchen of tbe beat wMeh
waiontbeupperdeek,andburnlogtlmbor,
eta., began immediately te fall upon Ihe
root et the ears below, setting them en
fire. As Is usual upon the arrival of the
Maryland, the rear brakeman, who was
te aoeompany tbe .train te Hartferd when
the beat was made fast te the deck,
went te tbe last ear te take off the tail
lamps. Ashe passed along, he notlead
nothing unusual, but after he bad secured
the lamp and turnsd te go baek he wss
confronted by a solid wall of flame. Tbe
heat Immediately forced him te; the
rear of tbe beat; where he waa seen sur
rounded by passengers from the sleepers
In various stsge of deshabille and aa be
explained It, "it get pretty het before a tug
came around and took us off."
Aa empleye In the bsggsge ear aald thit
tbe Urat Intimation whleh he had of the fire
was when the reef or the ou began te
shower down sparks. The train handa gen
erously contributed hats, costs, etc., te
oever the hair-dressed passengers. The
passengers from tbe burned trsln passed
through this city en a special train at G0
tbls morning. Tbey lest all of their bsg
