The old manor house in which y| George Washington opened his eyes "upon the world was burned in the last century, but the brick chimney, within the arch of which four people could sit, and the cornerstone with a portion of the foundation were saved.

Later on picnic parties landed on the sandy beach and made such a prac­ tice of carrying away the bricks as souvenirs t|at John W.

These bricks, by the way, were brought over from Eng­ land nearly two centu- tion "Washington's Birthplace," and in small letters at the base the words: "Erected by the United States, Afi D. 1895." Latterly plans have been pro­ jected for rebuilding the old mansion, placing in a conspicuous portion of the structure the few bricks remain­ ing from the old house and using the original cornerstone. In the old family burying ground at Wakefield there has recently been put in place a granite slab in memory of Augustine Washington, father of George Washington. This stone was provided by the Society of the Colo­ nial Dames of America. In this grave? yard, also, is a marble slab bearing an inscription that indicates that it ,was placed in its present position in 1720. Probably the principal reason tot the neglect of Wakefield by the tour­ ist throng that visits Mount Vernon is found in the isolation of Washington's birthplace. In con- junction with the erection of the governmental monument at Wakefield a substantial pier was built extending some distance out into the Poto­ mac, but this pier is now in shoal water and none of the larger steamers plying on the Poto­ mac can reach it. In consequence the only avail­ able means of reaching Wakefield is to take pas­ sage on one of the steamers bound for Colonial Beach, the leading summer resort of the lower Potomac, and upon arrival at the beach to either charter a launch for the trip to Wakefield or else reach the same goal by a considerable drive over roads that are none too good.

These songs were sung even during the lifetime of the first president. For Washington was alone among Americans in having his birth­ day regularly and publicly celebrated during his lifetime. The honor of having originated the public ob­ servance of February 22 is one of which the town of Alexandria, Vs.. is jealously proud. Alexandria Was Washingtoffs county town. He attended church there; he voted and paid taxes there; his physician lived there; he bought of its trades­ men, contributed to its charities, was head of its Masonic lodge, organized its fire brigade. Washington and Alexandria either contradict ,;th* theory that a prophet is not appreciated at • fcoitoe or they are an exception to prove the rule Right after the close of the revolution Alexandria begpn to celebrate the birthday of her hero. - Perhaps the old town had acquired the habit, for the birthnight balls in honor of King George had been the climax of social functions under the old regime. At any rate never was allegiance more ardently transferred and the new birthnight ;bails became even more elaborate than the old. • * Alexandria having set the fashion, other gplaces took up the custom. In 1784 the French .officers who had served under Washington cele­ brated February 22 in Paris; that is to say, it was not then February 22, but, according to the j reckoning of that day. February 11. T While he was president the birthday was al- ^wafrs celebrated at the city which was the capi- tal for the time being. At night there were .gala . performances at the theaters and a ball which «,th« president and his wife attended. % It is recorded that one of these balls in PtyUa- was enlivened fay the fact that many of ' the young ladies wore twined among their curls l.bandeaux embroidered with the words, "Long lite bor were dressed with' flags and the houses were ? decorated- Every half hou^ the church bells rang. Government officials and foreign diplomats called to congratulate him. The ball at night was In the- amphitheater, specially floored and deco­ rated. There were about 500 guests and accord­ ing to an eye witness "every countenance be­ spoke pleasure and approbation; even Democrats forgot for a moment their enmity." The next year, 17$8, Washington attended the celebration given by his friends and neighbors at Alexandria and some accounts declare that9 it was the last time he did so. He was at Mount Vernon in 179S on his birthday, it being the occa­ sion of one of the greatest festivities in the his­ tory of the mansion, the marriage of Nelly Cu»- tis. The ceremony was performed at fearly candlelight in the banquet room and was attend­ ed by the gentlefolk from all the country around. In spite of the wedding, however, Washington seems to have slipped away for a look in on the doings at Alexandria; for there is an account of that celebration in an Old copy of the Alexandria Gazette in which his presence is mentioned. The great event of that particular day was a sort of sham attack on the town by three companies of local infantry. They were embarked on the armed schooners Neptune, Trial and Mercury and succeeded in making two landings, but after "a heavy and continuous street fighting" were finally compelled to surrender. ' The general had arrived sobn after the affair began and when the evolutions were closed hq "presented his highest respects to all the parties ' engaged in them." Apparently being due for the 1 wedding eight miles distant, he did not remain ' •for any of the dinners which followed and at which so extreme a number of toasts were drunk that one trembles at the thought of how the youthful soldiers acquitted themselves at the ball ' in the evening. i , That was the last of his birthdays which .Washington himself lived to celebrate, but his home town faithfully continued the custom. G. W. P. Custis, the grandson of Mrs. Washing­ ton. spoke at the public dinner in 1849 and said It was the sixtieth celebration of February 22 Whl&h "he had attended in Alexandria. The ac­ count of that dinner, by the way, says that "the were conspicuously present and came In for a special piece of oration. The account of the meeting in 1840 says that after the oration a col­ lection was taken up for the benefit of the asy­ lum. .The Alexandria celebrations were often ad­ dressed by G. W. P. Custis. , In 1811 Richard B. Lee was the orator. Some idea of newspaper methods of that day may be had from the fact that although the celebration that time was men­ tioned in the Gazette of February 23, It was not Until February 25^that a real account appeared. During the civil war the celebration of the tffrtfcday ceased. Alexandria was ardently south­ ern in its sympathies and was, moreover, too much in the track of war to take notice of even its own pet anniversary. , It was not until 1870 that it began a feeble revival of the old festival. That time there was merely a presentation of a stand of colors to the cadets of St. John's acad­ emy by the young ladies of Mount Vernon Insti- t»te. In 1872 the cadets paraded and there was a birthnight ball once more. In 1876 a real celebra­ tion was arranged, to which "thousands of strang­ ers" came and upon which occasion "the houses that were mourning at Lee's death"--Robert E. Lee--"all displayed the American flag." Many houses displayed pictures of Lee and Washington sfrfe- by side. But there was no birthnight ball, and on the platform of the speaker's stand there waa a vacant chair placed to honor the memory -lit "G. W. P. Custis. "the old man eloquent." ••Since 1876 the celebrations have been rather i/regular in the town wMch originated them. But 'opiate years a society has been formed which arranges and carries out an elaborate programme etery alternate year. Whereas the orphans used ' to be a center of birthday attention, the interest is divided now between the firemen and the sol­ diers. Last year there were detachments of federal troops and of United States sailors in addition to the District militia. Washington has a perma­ nent claim to pose as Alexandria's "favorite son" and these biennial affairs are the biggest things of their sort in the country. February 22 is the Alexandrian's glorious Fourth. HARD PLIGHT OF THE COW Si.- if Wster-Orlnkina Bossy Puts jhl«rsf|f In for Accusation ' i Q r o s s F r a u d . ' V " . i " • i't&Jiijdli- .

SENATE PASSES - PRiARY DILI T|rae Measures for Direct nation Go Through. mf ONLY ONE SENATOR VOTES NO Concurrence by Hons* Is Confidently > ' Expected--Blanket Ballot IdM , ^ Rejected--Cumulative Voting Will Be Permitted. * v . Primary reformers won the day and passed the Btate-wide, direct plurality primary bill in the senate with only one dissenting vote. Three measures designed to provide direct plurality nominations ^for all officers in the state except university trustees were passed by an over­ whelming vote. The primary bill as brought before the senate for final action provides for direct plurality nominations of all stat^, congressional, municipal and judicial candidates. Including court clerks, trustees of the sanitary dis­ trict and members of the state board of equalization. It provides for an advisory vote on United States senator, with the dis­ tinct stipulation that such vote shall be considered in a state-wide aspect and not in accordance with the sen­ timent expressed in the several sena­ torial districts. The bill provides spe­ cifically that officers of party organi­ zations need not be elected precinct committeemen. The first primaries under thia bill will be held on September 15, l9ld. The seftate amended the house bill by replacing the section governing the qualifications of voters with the sec­ tion in the bill passed by the senate two weeks ago. This section now provides in addition to the constitu­ tional qualifications of voters that no one who has signed a petition for the nomination of a candidate for any party with which he does not affiliate and no person who has signed the nomination papers for an independent candidate for office to which nomina­ tions are to be made at the primary may vote. For the benefit of qualified voters who may not be registered the bill provides that they may file with the board of election commissioners 20 days before the primary an affidavit showing that on primary day they will be qualified voters in the precinct in which they reside. A revision of the registry by boards of election com­ missioners is to be required 15 days before the date of the primary. This bill eliminates from its opera­ tion candidates for the general assem­ bly, both senate and house, and all reference to choice of senatorial com­ mittees. Direct election of all other party committees by the people, how­ ever, is afforded. The Gibson bill, to take care of nominations for house and senate, provides direct nominations tor sena­ tors and also direct nominations for the house of representatives, with the stipulation in the latter class that the senatorial committee in each district be authorized to fix and determine the number of nominations to be made for the house in each district. Cumulative voting Is to be per­ mitted and provision made for the di­ rect election of members of the sena­ torial committees. By a vote of 40 yeas the senate passed the income-tax joint resolution, Indorsing the idea in no uncertain terms. The resolution now goes to the house for concurrent action. The commission plan of government bill was passed by a vote of 34 yeas to 1 nay. As changed In the upper branch, it carries radical amendments which, it is feared, will not be accept­ able to the house. It was a house measure and must go back to that branch for concurrence. The amend­ ments which may "sink" it provide drastic regulations for public-utility corporations. _ The senate passed the bill, nrovid- tag for the removal of obstructions to navigation in the drainage canal. It seeks to cause the removal of two bridges near Ruby street, Joliet, and to 'open a small water route for steel barges from St. Louis to Chicago by way of the sanitary channel. The bill received 31 affirmative votes and goes to the house for action.1 Hampton Heads Prison Body. The Illinois penitentiary commis­ sion elected the following officers: President--Van L.

Extended arguments were made he- fore the state supreme court in the suit to test the constitutionality of the ten-hour law for women, and the ease was^ takgn under advlBement. The case comes from Chicago, where Judge Tuthlll declared the act unconstitutional, and granted an in­ junction against State's Attorney Wayman and Factory Inspector Dav- ies, restraining them from enforcing the provisions of the act. The test ••ase was filed by W. C. Ritchie & Co., paper box manufacturers of Chicago, and Dora Windeguth and Anna ICusse- row, two employes. An array of prominent lawyers pre­ sented the case. Louis C. Brandels of Massachusetts, at present attorney for Pinchot, came to support the law. William J. Cqjhoun, United States Am­ bassador to China; John E. Wayman, Samjjel Harper and Joel Fitch .ap­ peared upon behalf of Attorney Gen­ eral Stead, and held the act to be valid. William Duff Haynie appeared for the corporation. Rules of the court were suspended to allow Mr. Brandels to file a brief of 600 pages. The brief-jixrived 15 days too late to be filedj the rules of the court, When ir®7)ecame known that the brief had not been filed, friends of the law accused Mr. Wayman of being responsible. Vjiay- man told of the delay, and the jtt&- tice realizing the position in' which Mr. Wayman was placed, gave leave to file the voluminous record. In the course of the argument the court advanced the question whether the case did not resolve itself into the question of whether the act is class legislation, and therefore uncon­ stitutional. State's Attorney Wayman, who was discussing the case at that tii&e, said that he regards the law as not class legislation, and cited opinions which hold that the hours women shall work may be limited by acts of the legisla­ ture. Attorney Brandels held that legis­ latures have a right to limit hours, and contended that ten hours was a reasonable limitation. Mr. Calhoun argued that while the act may restrict the right of the in­ dividual to contract, the entire law is constitutional. Mr. Haynie, arguing for the cor­ poration testing the law, contended that the act is invalid, because it re­ stricts the right of contract. Seek Release of Dougherty. The board of pardons, which con­ venes in Joliet next Tuesday, will have as its principal case for consid­ eration the application of Newton C. Dougherty for a parole. Dougherty was sent up from Peoria for embez­ zling several hundred thousand dol­ lars of school funds and has already served five years of his sentence. The state's attorney of Peoria has been notified by the board, and word comes from that city that a number of prominent citizens will be on hand to protest against the parole. , In a statement Dougherty says he is entirely innocent of wrongdoing and desires his liberty so that he can go back to Peoria and convince the resi­ dents of that city of his innocence. Dougherty, like Stensland, who was recently released, has powerful inter­ ests working in his behalf. Dough­ erty's wife, his son Horace and a daughter are residing in Chicago, while another son, Ralph, is a resident of Denver. The pardon board will also consider the cases of several convicts who have been commended for their bravery in the penitentiary Are two weeks ago. Poultry Show Assured. The 5,000 bird poultry show, which has been agitated by the Illinois State Poultry association, is a practical cer­ tainty for next January in Springfield. Tentative arrangements were made by a committee of the association and the state will be thoroughly organized in order that all sections may be prop­ erly represented. The show will be held In the state arsenal during the first week in January. The following officers of the associ­ ation were present at the meeting; President, George A. Heyl, Washing­ ton; secretary O. If. McCord, Dan­ ville ; Treasurer Jerome A. Leland, Springfield; members of the executive board. H. C. Wilhite, Greenfield; T. S. McCoy, Springfield; W. O. Chase, Hillsboro; J. L. Waddell, Danville. Sees Illinois Losses Reduced. That a reduction in the rate of in­ surance will follow the reduction of fire waste in Illinois because of the establishment of the - state fire mar­ shal's office, was the prediction of C. J.

Mr. Doyle declared that one of the best flre ex­ perts in Chicago informed him that the lower the rates paid by the in­ sured the more money the insurance companies earned.

One of the applications will be from Tuscker Balard, who has served 27 years of a life sentence ffcr murder committed in Wilmington. The prison officials, it is understood, will recommend the granting of a pa­ role for Ballard and several others for faithful services, and the matter will go up to Gov. Deneen.'
