The : rising of the sun of j greatness means the passing out of the light of lesser stars, j whose worshipers resent tlie eclipsing of • their Idols and busy themselves in effort ! to east clouds about the glory of the bright- 1 ness of the ascending luminary. Enemies appear to be re-energized to effort at ealum- ; ny, as the friends of the great man increa \ in uumhers and fervor. The rise of geni ; i j is marked by opposition all along the way, j the rivalry increasing with every new rev? | lation of the exalted merit of him whom it seeks to overthrow. So much of evil is said and such air of I plausibility is given to the malign evidences, that those who move amid these currents of praise and vituperation are scarcely able | to discern between the true and the fabo. 1 The partisans of the man are prone to rate him too highly, while the enemies are in capable of seeing any good thing in him. but with the passing of the man and his J generation asperities soften and an un i prejudiced, because disinterested, criticism i is reached. •Sometimes, oftentimes, indeed, j it happens that the justice of posterity strips I a glory-crowned man of many of his . ems, if it do not tear altogether the circlet from his brow. Washington, whose name is the synonym of exalted patriotism, on the contrary, h • : increased in character-stature with the years, so that now, scarcely a century after ; his demise, all the evil that men said against ! him while living has been forgotten, and he stands among all nations and peoples as the apotheosis of sublime virtue, strategic I generalship, unselfish public service and sacrificing rulerskip. His name in the uni versal estimate stands out alone, as the sun ; at noonday, with not another star in sig' I. ' Vet this illustrious man had many ene mies among his own countrymen.

Tlicy were sons j of Anak in their intellectual strength, those j colossi who formed the coterie known as I the revolutionary fathers. There w< re , many who aspired to be first, and the .' I were so loth to yield to the force of i s ' superiority that they upbraided him in li e ! ami. they died with unforgivencss in their hearts. Jefferson and Henry, two of t'.c ! i'luminali of his own stale, even, pursued him unremittingly and brought no end of trouble to bis great spirit. The opposition new-papers of his day were filled wit Si the most vile scandals upon his fair fame. In geniously worded pamphlets were scattered broadcast over the whole country, a: wiling his private life and impugning hi- public morals. But eternal justice has vindicated !.: chaste reputation, and the iiU rature which was thus polluted with libels upon truth has rotted like its authors, '1 he symmetry of Washington challenges universal admiration. Careful study of the j life and work of the man do not show that he was liansccv.dently great in any -ingle ; particular; yet the marvelous harmonious | combination of force- in the man place him far and away beyond anv other of th unique- ! ly grand character* of history Napoleon was a greater general; yet i- >t on- hundred Nuj oleons con' 1 ! ;;vc held tngt !>i !:e tit terrd and torn, ill-fed and ponri.v pa I :• i;.i\ ut Valley Forge, with MA inconq cteut gov , ernment hack of it und a supeilo inrinyinrU front.

Napoleon founded a great empire upon the ruins of the revolu tion; yet it endured scarcely more than a : decade. The work of Washington, after more than a century, gives promise of un measured duration. Alexander, the Caesars, Genghis Khan and Napoleon sought pcrsonul glory in conquest, und Cromwell realized his ambition in individual power and domin ion; hut Washington looked only to the liberties of his people and the perpetuation of a simple government whose greatness should be established in the fruitful results : growing out of peace. A man of commanding presence, shapely in limb and body, with most benign and in telligent face and well-proportioned head, he was no less symmetric in character. What weaknesses pertained to him were concealed by his magnificent self-control. 11 is temper was high, and there were oeca j sions, as at Monmouth, when it displayed itself in hot indignation; but he curbed it before it went beyond the bounds of right eous wiath. The unlicensed vituperation of his enemies wrung from him, sometimes, j earnest protest against their injustice; yet so few were these protests in the many ! years of his sorely tried life tlmCthe per fect self-control of the man has passed into a proverb, lie was an urdent admirer of woman, yet sternly chaste in character. Of splendid physique, he loved the good things of the table; hut to his appetite ho set proper hounds and partook in modera tion of what was set before him. Born of gentle parents, his tastes and , surroundings were those of an aristocrat; but in the great work of founding a repub lic. lie insisted that the rights of all classes should be respected alike and that no bar ! should he placed before a man who sought distinction because of his birth or social position. Doubtless the richest man of his time in America, his manner of living was simple, although generous. A slave-holder, he detested the institution, and at his death manumitted his "chattels/' Brave to dar ing. he curbed the spirit of battle within • him, and forced peace and victory by a suc cession of masterly movements that were characterized chiefly by evasion of collision with the enemy. Proud, he was affable, ever; reserved, all might approach him. These were not contradictions in his char acter; rather are they evidences of the majesty that was in him, which could shape and control disposition to the forming and framing of a perfect man. Me might have founded a monarchy, for the people were ready to acquiesce in any plan of his at the close of the seven years' war brought by liis genius to such a happ.v termination. In such an event none would have dared to question his assumption of the kingly power, lie chose, rather, to give his voice to a government of the people, whose rulers should be chosen by their suf frages. Of his own act he surrendered the reins of power after eight years of service, when by a word he might have perpetuated himself in the administration until the end 1 of his days. He was not without ambition; but it was of that sublime quality which makes self subordinate to country. He was in public service almost continuously from 1775 to 1707; yet in all these years he longed for the quiet and happiness of his home on the Potomac. The perils of his country having passed, lie felt himself free to yield to this temper which was accentuated by the decay incid ni to age. Yet, when a little later war with a foreign power seemed imminent, lie yielded readily to the popular call and i accepted the leadership of the American array. Happily the cloud passed without bursting, and he spent the remainder of his days, brief their number, in his beloved home, where he died the victim of medical stupidity, in the closing days of the last year of the century which had been made glorious by his illustrious deeds. \\ bether as pr ivate citizen, soldier, law maker, or ruler of a predestinedly great re public, the superb virtues of the man shone as bright stars So well poised was he, that one might lind it difficult to determine in what he most excelled. Yet none may doubt that the combination of the whole gives to history the loftiest character to he found in all its pages. He alone of nil humanity is the ideal man of all the nations, the adored of all who reach out after the noblest ideals of living. This country is great in tlie matchless achievements r.f the now dymg ecntur.v, hut the world without holds her greatest in that she gave to humanity i Washington, as a pattern for true human , gri-ilncus i i whatever form.

WASHINGTON'S MODESTY. It Was Equal in Every Way to Mis Great Prowess. Washington, in 1759, was chosen by the people of Frederic county, Va., to repre sent them in the Virginia house of burgesses When he first took his seat in the house an interesting incident occurred, which ia re loted in Wirt's "Life of Patrick Henry.' The house of burgesses resolved to return their thanks to hi?n in a public manner foi the services he hud rendered his country and this duty devolved on his friend, Mr Robinson, the speaker of the house. As soon as Col. Washington had taken his sent, the speaker discharged the duty imposed upon him with all the warmth of panegyric which personal regard and a full apprecia tion of his merits could dictate. This uu wonted and unexpected honor completely robbed the young warrior of his self-posses sion. He rose to express his acknowledg ment, but such was his trepidation and con fusion that he could not give distinct utter unco to a syllable. For a moment he blushed stammered and trembled, when the speaker relieved him with a stroke of address thai would have done honor to Louis the Four tcenth in his proudest and happiest mo mentß. "Sit down, Mr. Washington," said he, with a conciliating smile, "your modest\ is equal to your valor, and that surpasses the power of any language that 1 possess." NAMED AFTER GEORGE. Rev.

The Annual Affair. Now Washington's birthday comes again And the poet his pencils trim.

Rut. like George, jfip poei must nave A whack at that cherry ire* -Cincinnati Tribune MURDER WAS PROVEN. Continued from First Page. One ball, hitting hiin in the back be tween the shoulders, came out of hi.- chest almost directly over the heart. His right arm is yet so crippled that he could not raise It when taking the oath, a though he made painful efforts to push it aloft with his left band as a support. Joseph Pevalczak told the Lattlmer story like this: "A big man (the sheriff! came out holding a revolver, seized 01 e of the strikers by the coat. It was not long until the sheriff jumped back and cried fire." "Could you identify that man?" "Yes." "Point him out." Mr. Palmer stood and looked directly at tiie witness. The witness identified Palmer as the sheriff who ordered "fire." Mr. Palmer—"l thought lie would do I it. And you bet I would have said fire." I There was at this stage the biggest laugh since the trial began. Mr. Garman from behind his news paper—"And you bet Palmer is only sorry.ho was not there to holler fire." A new phase in the case was brought about by the appearance of Mrs. Ella Ceslak, widow of Michael Ceslak, for whose murder Shorlff Martin and his deputies are now on trial. Mrs. Ceslak is a small woman with pallid cheeks. She wore a black alpaca gown and a shawl did duty for a bonnet. No sooner had Mrs. Ceslak taken the stand and a question as to the number of her child ren been put than tliero was a row. Mr. ' Palmer objected. Mr. Martin declared I that he was simply endeavoring to lay grounds to positively identify the dead man from another Ceslak, who might have existed, and to prove uialico on the part of the deputies in killing a man of family. The question was allowod by the court and the witness stated that she had five children. She and her husband were married in Europe sixteen years ago, and seven years ago came to America. The witness did not see her husband go to Lattlmer, but she did see him when they brought him home. He was dead. A bullet had pierced his brain. : Mrs. Ceslak now makes living by keep ing boarders. For this she receives her pay through a company store, which, it is alleged, is paid a commission for mak ing the collections from the man. Thomas Lynch gave testimony against the deputies and recited the collision at West Hazleton. Deputy Henry Manley j said to him: "You'd better get back— you'll get hurt, you'll get shot—get back, you , 0 r I'll brain you with this gun!" Then Deputy Cook interfered and inado Manley apologize. He heard other deputies make threats and curse the strikers and declare that | they would blow their heads off and scatter their brains about. The witness picked out Deputies Cook, Manley, j Ferry and Dodson. He said that he had seen Dodson holding with his gun against a fence a striker from whoso head blood was (lowing freely. "Policeman Jones led the strikers around by another road." continued the witness. "I told him if ho did right he'd arrest the crowd of sheriff's depu ties. The sheriff didn't behave very well. He went along in front of the strikers with a revolver in one hand and a paper in the other. He was cursing, and said he'd fix them if they came on. The strikers were behaving themselves and offered no violence. I saw no weapons among them." John Welsh was on the Lattimer car which was boarded by a number of depu ties shortly before the shooting. lie heard Edward Turn bach say: "This is the hardest day's work I've had in a long time. The sheriff has been run ning around the country without giving us orders to fire." The witness continued: "The strikers began to break and run at the first shot. When the volley cracked they were all running away as hard as they could. Some of them had run nearly to the school house before the shooting stopped. I saw Deputy William Raught fire from the road toward the brush, and saw a man running away in the direction toward which the rifle was aimed. I saw A. P. Piatt, Dodson and Hall in the crowd of armed men in the road." There was a long argument over the admission of language usod by strikers immediately after the shooting. The court ruled that sweh testimony was admlsslblo, although tbo speech and conduct of deputies at this time had been tuled out by a previous decision of Jridgo Woodward on technical grounds. Mrs. Mary Gallagher, mother of a previous witness, Miss Grace Coylo, tes tified on Saturday. She heard the shoot ing and arrived upon the 9cene in time to assist the wounded men. Her evi dence was not very important, but was given iu a more spicy style than any of j her hundred predecessors. Lcnahan fear ed her sharp tongue and did not cross examine, having received a few cutting retorts from her while the prosecution was asking questions.
