President Clev: md Will Preside— The End of the Work Undertaken by Patriotic American Women. The arrangements being made at Fred- ericksburg, Va., for the dedication of the Mary Washington monument on Thursday are extensive and elaborate. The enter- tainment provided for the thousands of Suests expected is largely furnished by the Masons and the Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution resident in the city. There will be a splendid Masonic banquet in the evening immediately following the ded- ication exercises, and at night there will be @ colonial ball, which will, in all probability, rival in beauty and brilliancy the famous peace ball given in 1781 to Washington and his French and American officers on the occasion of his visit to his mother at Fred- ericksburg when he was en route from Yorktown tq Philadelphia—the same ball at which his mother made her first and only appearance in public with him. Among the noted guests who have accepted invitations to be present during the day are President Cleveland and several of the cabinet, Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson, the latter be- |img the president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution; Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller and a number of the jus- tices of the Supreme Court. There will be a large attendance of Senators and members of Congress and other notable people from Washington, as special trains will be run to accommodate those who wish to attend. Gov. O’Ferrall of Virginia will be there with his staff, accompanied by several com- panies of the state guards and cadets. The | Marine Band will go down on the special from Washington. Mrs. Amelia C. Weite, president of the lady managers and incorporators of the Natlwal Mary Washington Memorial As- sociation, under whose auspices the monu- ment has been reared, will be in attend- ance, and will witness with no small pleas- ure the completion of a gigantic undertak- ing—the raising among women alone a suf- ficient sum to erect a monument fitting the character of the mother of the first Pres- ident of the United States. Associated with Mrs. Waite in this great work were many noble women, all of whom have labored in- defatigably to complete the testimontal of wontfen to a woman eminently deserving of all honor. Officers of the Association. The board of trustees of the association, | which was incorporated and chartered Feb- ruary 22, 1svu, is composed of the President of the United States, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the governor of the!

The survivors of the third army corps closed their reunion on Saturday night by a handsome banquet in the tea room at Wil- lard’s Hotel. The newly elected president, Major William Plimiey, took the chair promptly at §:30, supported by Gen. Sickles, Senator Hawley, Representatives Boutelle of Maine and Black of Illinois, Col. John M. Wilson, commissioner of public buildings; ex-Congressman Candler of Massachu- setts, brother of a lately deceased president of the society; Department Commander Bickford of the Grand Army and Gen. Chauncey McKeever president of the Washington branch of the society. After a “grace before meat,” which had been specially composed for ihe occasion and printed at the head of the bill of fare, the banqueters. took their seats— some dozen ladies among them—and then Mr. Herndon Morsell appeared, accompa- nied by a lady pianist, and, during the ser- vice of the banquet, delighted the visitors with several choice vocal selections. With punch and cigars came the speech- making, opened by President Plimley and sustained by Generals Sickies and Black, Senator Hawley, “Shipmate” Boutelle, Col. Wilson and Mr. Candler, the themes rang- ing “from grave to gay, from lively to se- vere,” and containing much of a patriotic and reminiscent character, arousing the company to alternating enthusiasm and laughter. At one minute to 12 o'clock the chairman declared the banquet closed, de- clining a suggestion that Capt. Bassett and his walking stick be sent for, to turn back the hands of the hotel clock after the fash- ion of the United States Senate. ‘The decorations of the banquet room were unique and interesting. Besides the cus- tomary display of patriotic silk and bunting, there were groups formed of battle flags of the corps, and on the walls, wreathed in evergreen, were richly painted emblematic | devices, displaying the names of the cam- paigns and commanders of the corps. The banquet arrangements were looked after by a local committee, under the chairmanship of Comrade William H. Doolittle of the Washington branch, who was warmly com- plimented by the visitors upon the hand- some table and its surroundings. Seats were placed for eighty-four guests, and they were all filled. On Sunday morning a large number of the visitors were taken by taliy-ho coaches to Arlington, Glen Echo and Cabin John bridge, and the night trains bore the last of them to their homes. ——— SONS OF THE REVOLUTION, A Largely Attended Meeting of the District Society. There was a largely attended meeting of the District Society of the Sons of the Rev- olution at Welcker’s Saturday evening, and after the business meeting a handsome collation was served. Among those present were Justice brewer, Gen. Rochester, F. W. Huidekoper, Rev. Dr. John H. Elliot, Dr. Walter Wyman, Col. G. C. Goodioe, Capt. Rusk, Dr. I. W. Rand, Rev. F. H. Bigelow, ‘. G.

The’ thunder storm of Saturday evening | $ prevented many people who had tickets from attending the final performance of | & “Pinafore” by the little folks for the benefit | ¥ of the National Homecpathic Hospital, yet | the house was well filled, and those who risked a wetting were delighted by the work of the children. The opera was given by the original cast, and each of the principals showed the improvement that comes from a Yepetition. There were no hitches of any kind, and the production would have done credit to some older organizations. Miss Marie Howe, as Josephine, did exceptionally well, and her clever acting and singing won for her round after rcund of applause. She was abundantly favored with flowers. Lit- tle Helen Winter and Miriam Stoddart, a: Hebe and Buttercup, delighted the audience. They ‘picked up their cues and acted their parts with surprising ease and grace, and the prompt “And so do his sisters, and his cousins and his aunts” of Hebe was quite a hit. The lads were all very manly in their nautical togs. Frederick Hazard, as the Admiral, sang his lines neatly, and was quite as patronizing as any Sir Joseph who lever trod the quarter deck, Paul. Sperry Was an ideal. Capt. Corcoran, and showed an intelligent appreciation of his part. The Ralph of-Lee Cox was excellent, his high, clear voice sounding sweetly in the graceful bits assigned the part. His acting, too, was spirited and effective. Harold Tracy, as Dick Deadeye, and Burton Garrett, as the Boatswain, were easy and clever, the lat- ter especially delighting the audience b; song introduced between the acts to company the chorus hornpipe. This was a decided hit, particularly after the success of little Willie Collier, when he surprised the audience in the first act by his wonder- ful performance in turning off a genuine sailor’s hornpipe in a very tarry style. Minnie West was a trifle smaller than her jmidshipman’s spyglass, but she got off her only line, “Aye, aye, sir,” and received a bunch of roses for her promptness that completely smothered her tiny form. The chorus was strong and smooth, and the gallant marines did gcod work in a silent rill. This performance closed a series of three that were in every way successful, and which reflected great credit upon the ladies of the Homeopathic Hospital under whose auspices they were given.

Mary, the mother of Washington, died on Thursday evening, August 27, At her own request she was buried on a gentle | knoll on the plantation of her only daugh- ter, Betty Lewis. The spot d heen a favorite place of resort for the silent wo- man and was in sight of her own home, and of Kenmore, the home of her daughter, where it is supposed that Mary Washing- ton died. But it is hard te understand why she sought burial in the center of a field, far from her kin, and in a spot where at that time no grave had ever been made, when her husband, Augustine Washington, slept the last sleep in the family vault of the Washingtons on Bridge's creek, in Westmoreland county, with a place lett at his side for he The little elty of Fredericksburg mourned her death in crape and bombazine for the space of thirty days, and Congress, then in session in New York, did the same, but like too ma others who wear their grief like a ribbon, to be laid aside when passe, they | permitted the memory of Washington's mother to grow cold, and only a sunken mound and tangled grasses marked her rest- ing place for half a century. Mary Wash- ington was, to be sure, a plain woman, with few graces to please her aristocratic eldest son, but her devotion to him was the one tender thing of her life. He was her first born, her best beloved, yet he never so much as placed a marble slab above her | dead face to mark her grave from the other hillocks in the field! Apparent Neglect of the Family. It is incomprehensible to us, in this age | and day that such a thing could be. But | | there is not in history a line or word to | that Washington ever thought of such ing, though he survived her for twenty | and died possessed of great wealth a man of his day. If he had contem- rh a tribute at any time it would been found among his papers, for Yashington left about as minute an ac- |count of his daily walks and talks as any man who ever lived. It does not appear hat the daughter, Retty, or any of the de- Jants ever seemed to think it the thing | to mark this honored gra themselves, though there was wealth enough among the learlier ones to have accomplished {t. One wonders a little that the loyal state of Vir- | ginia did not erect a monument to her mem- | ory, for it once contemplated caring for and pensioning her. It would have done so had not Washiagton, who was then managing her plantations for her, written to Benja- min Harrison, asking that no such action be taken. He said: “I am sure we wouid all feel} much hurt at having our mother a pen- sioner while we had means to support her, e of her | but in fact she has an ample ine: < Yet at this time his mother wrote r son John: “I never lived soe poore in | life It does iook though some part | from which Income referred 1 might have been diverted monument to the Tr, especially when ft Is re- at her plantation was willed ton: but not even a picket fence about it to mark it and protect it attle and horses that wandered , aS the grave of Martha Washing- | voted maid 1s protected at Mount e years ago a New York gentle- 1 with indignation at the thought marked grave of the woman, but | s Washington would have h navy, |.

He said that society is organized on the prin- ciple of selfishness, “not, indeed, the gross- est and most absolute selfishness, which would override all human rights to pro- mote its own creeds, for civil law prevents that; but it does not prevent, or aim to prevent, self-seeking. The Divine law, how- ever, does not forbid this, within certain limits, for Christ commends and even com- mands an intelligent self-love. He appeals directly to self-interest. But He says: ‘Why be so greedy for property as to sacrifice everything else in its pursuit?” Incident- ally he referred to labor unions and their operation, saying: “The laborer has nothing to put upon the market except his strength and skill. Under the present reign of self- ishness the employer says he will buy the labor at the lowest possible penny a day, regardless of its actual value to him. It is nothing to him whether his laborer can sup- port his family or not. The workman, on the other hand, says he cannot stand alone against capital, and he unites with other workmen to secure his just dues. This is right. But the union formed takes its first step in making skilled labor scarce. The employer desires to pay labor according to its efficiency, and the union replies that one man {sto them as any other man and that the wages are fixed. You must take such men as we furnish you, and if any man at- tempts to do the work for less they will mob or kill him. He must Jet his machinery rest or lose on his contract, for if he disre- gards them this !s the way the union takes to bring him to terms Dr. Hamlin closed as follows: “Just how the golden rule will work out in its detafis of application to society no man can fore- see. Profit sharing in addition to wages, homes Instead of tenants, arbitration in- stead of strikes, these and similar changes may come, and probably will come. I only know that the goiden rule lies at the heart of Christianity; that it is applicable to society as to the family and to friendship, and that its application would be as benefi- cent; that when applied it will replace suspicion by confidence, cut-throat rivalry by generous competition, oppression by jus- tice, Jealousy by love. So I say: Let us begin and Christianize society by the golden rule.” Only Hood’s for Me HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA GIVES GOOD HEALTH. . I.
