The Association of Oldest Inhab- ftants takes pride in the fact that it was the first organization in the city to hold annually a public meet- ing in deference to George Washing- ton. Taking as his_theme the tribute which Abraham Lincoln once paid to Gen. Washington, John Clageett Proctor composed a poem to the Father of His Country. It follows: Poem Extols Washington. “Washington is the mightiest name on earth—long since mightiest in the cause of civil liberty: still mightiest in moral reformation. On that name no eulogy is expected. It cannot be. To add brightness to the sun or glory to the name of Wash- ington_ is alike impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name and in its naked deathless splendor leave it shining on.”—Lincoln. What Lincoln said of Washington Is shared, 1 know, by every one; No sentiments, this sacred day, Mesan to us just as much as they. Few words express themselves so clear Regarding one so_great and dear, Whio left Mount Vernon's peaceful life For years of hardship, war and strife. Renowned and known throughout the world ‘Where'er our flag has been unfurled; On native soil. in foreign lands, His name, today, respect commands. We love to hear his greatness told, His virtues and his deeds extolled; ©Oh, may our gratefulness increase— Thou “first in war and first in peace.” But Lincoln spoke the master mind— Such Jeweled thoughts we seldom fiud; His tribute all should greatly prize And in our hearts immortalize. Refer in reverence to his fame, In solemn awe pronounce his name; Mightiest man of all was he For righteous civil liberty. In moral reformation mone Approach the name of Washington; His precepts and examples set ‘Are such mankind cun ne'er forget. No eulogy promounced on earth Can 2dd to his distinguished worth, For, like the brigitness of the sun, He, too, has no comparison. Then speak of him in words profound— Let pairiotic love abound, And leave the name of Washington In deathless splendor shini on. —_— TAKEN OVER BY BUREAU.

In reviewing the work during the past year, President Ely reported: “The reports of the treasurer and the registrar have made you ac- auainted with the conditions of the finances and the membership roll. The financlal situation is as good as, if not better tham, for vears, while the membership list shows a net increase of twenty-five. Your president endcavored to estab- lish a budget plan, whereby the funds available for entertainment would be made to last the entire vear. The scheme has been helpful, but the cost for refreshments sub- mitted b, reliable caterers has Seemed absurdly high. This high cost, together Wwith the large at- tendance at meetings, has consumed the current expense fund. We need refreshments and we desire large attendance so that this combination will furnish a problem for the com- mittee on meetings next year.” WILL PRESENT RELICS TO NATIONAL MUSEUM The swords of Washington and Andrew Jaskson and the walking stick of Benjamin Franklin are to be put in the National Museum. The House today will take formal action, passing a joint resolution. As part of the exercises, Represtntative Ernest R. Ackerman of New Jersey will speak on the Battle of Trenton, and Representative Merrill Moores of Indianna and Representative R. Wal- ton Moore of Virginia, will review some little known history in connec- tion with the life of Washington. The joint resolution will be intro- duced at the instance of Secretary Hughes, who considers it proper to transfer from the State Department to the custody of the National Mu- seum, the sword that Washington wore during the revolution; the crab- apple walking stick_which Benjamin Franklin_gave to Washington, and the sword of Andrew Jackson. ‘Washington's sword and Franklin's staff were given to Congress d ac- cepted by Congress in 1844 and the Jackson sword was given to the United States and accepted by Coi gress in 1865. The joint resolution al ready ‘reported to the Senate by Sen- ator Lodge from the foreign relations committee, will be reported to the House today from the foreign affairs committee by Representative Moores of Indiana. —_— FILES SUIT FOR $4,100.
