common practice, and that is what
makes the common man in id that

OJE ill'IDRED YEARS.
In
Memory of George Wah-
ington.
On Thursday, December 14th, 1S!,
which will be the Thursday of next
week, it will be one hundred years since .
George aumgion, ine cuieiuau u.
the American revolution of 1776, died
at his boms at Mount Vernon, Virginia,
aged 67 years, months, '2:1 days It is
now believed he died ofdiphtheiia. On
the 1 1th inst., thecentenial anniversary
of his death will ba observed at Mount
Vernon. President McKinley and Cab
iuet will be there, and the same orderof
funeral cermony will be gone through
with like that on the day of his inter
ment. The following account of his illness
and death and funeral is from the diary
of bis secretary, Colonel Tobias Lear:
"On Thursday, December 12, the Gen- I
eral rodeout to his farms about lOo'clock
and did not return home till past 3
o'clock. Soon after he went out the
weather became very bad, rain, hail
and suow falling alternately, with a
cold wind. When he came in I carried
some letters to him to frank, intending
to send them to the post office in the
evening. He franked the letters, but
said the weather was tio bad to send a
servant up to the otlice that evening. I
observed to him. that I was afraid he
had gotten wet, the snow was banging
on his hair. He came to dinner without
changing his dress.
"About 2 or 3 o'clock on Saturday
morning he awoke Mrs. Washington
and told her be was very unwell and
had an ague. She observed that he
could scarcely sieak and breathed with
difficulty, aud would have gotten up to
call a servant, but ic would not permit
her lest she should take cold. As soon
as the day appeared the woman Caro
line went into the room to make a tire
and hedesired that Mrs Rawlins, one
of the overseers who was used to bleed
ing the people, might be sent for to
bleed him before the doctor could arrive.
The wom.iu Caroline came to my room
requesting I might go to the General,
who was very ill. I got up, put on my
clothes as quickly as jionnible aud went
to bis chamber. Mrs. Washington was
then up and related to me bis being
taken ill aimut 2 or 3 o'clock, as before
stated. I fouud him breathing watb
difficulty and hardly able to utter a
word intelligibly, I weut out instantly
and wrote a line to Dr. Craik, which I
wnt off by my servant, ordering him to
go with all the Bwiftne his horse could
carry him, and Immediately returaed to
the-Oeneral'B chamber, where I found
him iu the same ituatkn I had left
him. "
"A mixture of molasses, vinegar and
Uitter was prepared to try its efiect in
the throat, but he could not swajlow a
drop. Whenever ha attempted it he
appeared to I dint named, convulsed and
almost MiH'ocated. Mr. Kawlins came
in soon after sunrise and prepared to
bleed him When the arm was ready
the tieneral, observing that Rawlins
apeared to be agitated, said, as well as
he uld speak, 'Don't le afraid,' atid
after the incision was made lie obsered:
The ori lice is not large enough ' I low-
ever, the blood ran pretty freely. Mrs.
Washington, not knowing whether
bleediug was proper or not in the Gen
eral 's si t uat Ion, begged that much might
not le taken from bini let It should lie
injurious and desired me to stop it, but
when I was about to untie the string
the General put up his hand to prevent
it, and as soou as he could. speak he said:
'More.' Mrs. Washington, leiiig still
uneasy lest too much Mood should be
taked, it was stopped after about half a
pint was taken from bim.
"Finding that no relief wai obtained
from bleeding, and that nothing would
go down the throat. I proposed bath
ing the throat externally with Salvalat
tita, which was done, and iu the opera
tion, which was with the hand and in
the gentlest manner, he observed: 'Tis
very sore.' A piece of flannel was then
put round his neck. His feet were also
soaked in warm water This however,
gave no relief.
'In the meantime, before Dr. Craik
arrived, Mrs. Washington requested ni3
to send for Dr. Brown, of Port Tobacco,
whom Dr Craik had recommended to
be called if any car- should ever occur
that was seriously alarming. I dis
patched a messenger, Cyrus to Dr.
Hrown immediately (about 9 o'clock).
Dr. Craik canie iu soon after, and upon
examining the General be put a blister
of cantharides on the throat and took
some more blood from him and had
some vinegar and hot water put into a
teapot for the General to draw in the
steam from the nozzle, which he did as
well as he was able. He also ordered
sage tea and vinegar to lie mixed for a
gargle.
4 This the General used as often as
desirable, but when he held back bis
head to let it run down it put him into
great distress and almost produced suf
focation. When the mixture came out
of his mouth som phlegm followed it
and he would attempt to cough, which
the doctor encouraged him to do as
much as he could, but without effect
could only make the attempt, shout
11 o'clock Dr. Dick was sent for. Dr.
Craik tiled the General again about this
time.
No effect, however, was produc
ed bv it and he continued in the same
state, unable to swallow anything. Dr
Dick cams in alswt 3 o'clock and Dr.
Rrown arrived soon after. Upon Dr.
Dick's seeing the General and consult
ing a few minutes with Dr. Craik he
was tiled again The blood ran slowly
and appeared very thick, but did not
produce any symptoms of fainting. Dr.
Brown came into the chamber room
soon after, and upon feeling the Gener
al's pi use the physicians went out to-
could nhw swallow a r
little (about 4 o'clock). Calomel and
tartar emetics were administered, but
without any effect. Alxmt half past 4
o'clock hedesired metoask Mrs. Wash
ington to come to his bedside, when he
requested her to go down into his room
and take from his desk two wills which
she would find there and bring them to
him, which she did. Upon looking at
them ha gave her one, which, he ob
served, was useless, as it was supersed
ed by the other, and desired her to burn
it, which fcbe did, and tlien took the
other and put it away. After this was
done I returned again to his bedside and
took his hand. He said to nis: 'I find
I am going My breath cannot con
tinue long. I believed from the first
attack it would lie fatal. Do you ar
range and record all my late military
letters and papers, arrange ruy accounts
and settle my books, as you know more
aliout my accounts than anyone else,
and let Mr. Kawlins finish recording
my other letters, which he ha.s begun
He asked when Mr. Lewis T. Washing
ton would return. I told bim I be
lieved about the 20th of the mouth. He
made no reply to it.
""The physicians again came iu be
tween and 6 o'clock, and when they
came to his bedside Dr. Craik asked
him if be could sit up in bed. He held
out bis hand to me and was raised up,
when he said to the physicians: 'I feel
myself going. You bad better not take
any more trouble about me, but let me
go oil' quietly. I cannot last long.'
They found what had been done was
without efiect. He laid down again
and they retired, excepting Dr. Craik.
He then said to him: 'Doctor, I die
hard, but I am not afraid to go I le-
lieved from the first attack that I would
not survive it. My breath uannot last
King.' The doctor pressed his band
but could not utter a word, He retired
from the bedside and sat by the fire ab
sorbed in grief.
"About 8 o'clock the physicians again
came into the room and applied blisters
to his legs, but without a ray of hoe.
From this time he appeared to breath
with less difficulty than he bad done,
but was very restless, constantly chang
ing his iosition to endeavor to get ease

gratified iu believing be felt it, for be
would look up with gratitude, but un
able to utter a word without great dis
tress. Alxmt 10 o'clock he made sever
al attempts to speak to me before he
could efiect it. At length he said: 'lam
just going. Have me decently buried and
do not let my body be put into the vault
in let than two days arter 1 am dead.'
I bowed assent. He looked at me again
aud said: 'Do you understand ine." I
replied, 'Yes, sir.' 'Tis well.' said be
About ten minutes before he expired
bis breathing became much easier and
he lay quietly. He withdrew his hand
from niine and felt his owu pulse. I
sjwke to Dr. Craik, who sat by the fire.

Lew Houck was the Inventor of the
n..i-.ri,ms tLree card nionte trick and
' about the cleverest card sharp in the
' world. Houck was well kuown In Kau

j wff for yeai making the city a

The last time Houck was here he had
Just returned from a 'European trip.
He produced papers and letters to
show that while he was in Loudon he
was feted and dined by some of the
upisT crust of English society. . He
had passed there as a wealthy and
traveled American. He had letters,
too, from Secretary OIney, Secretary
Carlisle and other leaders of the Amer
ican political world which recouiuieud
ed him in the highest terms not only
to the American repivseuiauves
- 1ima., btlt to anr friends of the writ
r who uilirht meet hhiu Aud these
letters were geuulue. Their authentici
ty could not be doubted. Houck had
a way of getting entrance into the ex
clusiveTlulis of Washington, Philadel
phia, New York ami other cities, aud
in his role of "gentleman of leisure" he
had so Imposed on men of high stand
ing in the nation that they thought
him all he represented himself to be

other came ever practiced. The trick
is played with three aces, two black
ones aud one red. It is nlwa.vy played
with a confederate to help," or "stall,"
for the game. The oiHrator takes the
three cards between his lingers, show
ing them to the victim, and then shuf
fles them about and drops them face
down upon the 'table, offering to bet
any aniouut of moiiey that no one can
pick out the red ace.
At this point the operator turns his
head a moment to spit or to sjieak to
some one in the crowd behind hi in,
and in that moment the confederate
picks up the red nee card, shows It to
the victim, "crimps" the corner of the
card aud slyly lays It down again, ap
parently nil unseen by the operator.
The operator again shuttles the three
cards and throws them upon the table
face down. There lies the card with
Us crhuied corner. The victim sup
poses, of course, that it Is the red ace
and bets and picks it up to tlud that It
is a black one, and he has lost his
money.
The operator, when he picked up and
shuttled the cards carelessly the sec
ond time, with a deft movement of his
fingers removed the crimp in the red
ace card and put a similar crimp in a
black ace card. That was nil there
was to the trick. Houck worked it for
years in hotels, on billiard tables, at
fairs and circuses and on railroad
trains and steamboats. lie taught the
trick to Canada Kill, a noted gambler,
and the two worked together over all
the country. They (iaid thousands up
on thousands of dollars to railroad men
in the old days for the privilege of
working the game on trains, and they
made "money. -
Later, when nenxlyjpvcry tat4l!-tli
fitnioa passed laws aimed directly
against the working of the tlirre card
monte game, It became unprofitable
and was given up by Houck. But aliout
that time an Ingenious English cockney
invented the "three shell" game, which
was even more productive than, three
card monte, and Houck took it up. The
three shell game Is a modern improve
ment on the ancient thimblerigging
game that was worked at English faira
for many years. The old way was for
the operator to crook his knee over the
head of a cane that stood upright on
around between three thimbles ou top
