UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS DURING VISIT TO EAST SIDE IN NEW YORK. DINES WITH HUNGARIANS VISITS PLACES WHERE NO PRES- IDENT EVER HAS BEEN BEFORE. GOTHAM’S POOR GREET HIM PRESIDENT LEAVES FOR WASH- INGTON_AFTER TWO DAYS OF RECEPTIONS. New York, Feb. 15.—After two days of receptions and dinners in New York city President Roosevelt left last night over the Pennsylvania rail- way for Washington. The events of the day included a reception at the University club, and last night the event of his visit—the dinner given by the Hungarian Republican club at the restaurant “Little Hungary,” on the East side, where a president has never been before. The fact that Mr. Roosevelt was to visit places where he has not been since he was governor of New York, and where no other president, while in office, had been, led to unusual po- lice precautions, but Nothing Untoward #2 ppened. The president left the Hungarian club dinner after making a_ brief speech in which he told of the duties of an American citizen as he saw them, and was driven directly to the Des Brosses street station, accompa- nied by a squad of mounted police. When he reached the ferry house he alighted from his carriage, shook hands with the members of the mounted squad and then went to the men’s cabin in the ferry boat. The boat arrived in Jersey City at 11:50 and some minutes afterward he boarded his spe¢ial train. From the tim the president arrived on the East side last night until his departure the Greatest Precautions were taken for his safety. Secret service men guarded his person, and policemen in, uniform and in plain the for blocks on each so that the crowds of East side idents, who had gathered to see the chief executive of the nation were not able to get within two or three blocks of him. When the president left the banquet room he was heartily cheered by people in the windows and doors of tenements near-by. Mr. Roosevelt ved his hat in re- sponse as he entered his earriage and started for the fe clothes weré stationed ,all about restaurant and sid PREDICTS HIGH WHEAT.

The deal has been in progress for several week: Some brokers believe that nothing short of $1.50 a bushel will be considered worth while by the bull leaders. Chic NO HOCK IN CASTLE. Photograph Fails to Identify “Multi- Bigamist” as Arch-Murdered. Chicago, Feb. 15.— The Holmes castle connection alleged against Johann Hock, the muchly married man, tumbled like ‘a house of cards yesterday. Pictures held by M. C. Chappell bearing on the famous case of a decade ago, showed no person among the subjects bearing the slight- est resemblance to Hock. Inspector Shippy said the photographs added nothing to connect the prisoner with the “castle” or its inmates. Dr. E. H. Robinson, who had the drug store in the “castle” in Holmes’ time, said no such person as “Jake” was ever about the place. “Others have identified Hock as “Jake,” but without moving the mind of Inspector Shippy. The latter has started an inquiry in Ger- many as to the issuance of passports to Hock in 1895. REVISE LAND LAWS. President Roosevelt Says Report of Commission Shows It Is Necessary. Washington, Feb. 15. — President Roosevelt has sent a second partial re- port of the public lands commission to congress. In his letter of trans- mittal he says the report seems “to require a radical revision of most of the laws affecting the public domain, if we are to secure the best possible use of the remaining public lands by actual homemakers.” | Sullivan Replies to Hearst’s Charges F ‘ the House. " Washington, Feb. 15.—The second chapter of the episode between Mr. Sullivan. of Massachusetts and Mr. Hearst of New York occurred in the house yesterday when. Mr. Sullivan again took the floor on a question of persona! privilege and related the cir- cumstances leading up to the indict- ‘ment and conviction of his father and himself for manslaughter. Mr. Sulli- van,admitted the charge, but said that he himself had been only technically guilty and had been * permitted to leave the court a free man, without serving a day’s imprisonment or being subjected to a fine. His father had been imprisoned a year and a half, but on the introduction of new evi- dence which presented a grave doubt of guilt, his father had been pardoned. Mr. Sullivan’s statement was _lis- tened to with marked attention, and at its conclusion he was warmly ap- plauded, many members leaving their seats and shaking his hand. Mr. Hearst was not present during the time he spoke. The balance of the day was devoted to consideration of the naval appropri- ation bill. The senate yesterday passed the ag- ricultural appropriation bill and began consideration of the bill making ap- propriations for the District of Colum- bia, The Hansbrough amendment to the agricultural bill relating to draw- backs on duties on wheat, was agreed to after an extended debate in which tariff considerations figured to a con- siderable extent. 5 The usual three hours was given to the trial of the impeachment charged against United States Judge Swayne. PERMITS NO DRAWBACK, Hansbrough’s Efforts Are Crowned With Success. * Washington, Feb. 15.—The senate yesterday afternoon adopted the Hansbrough amendment to the agri- cultural appropriation bill eliminating wheat from the operation of the draw- back clause of the tariff act, and passed the measure. The support given to the proposition ‘by senators from the agricultural states was of such a character as to demonstrate clearly that the proposition advanced by Secretary Shaw to pay’a drawback on imported wheat manufactured into flour for export does not satisfy the agricultural states. Senator Hans- brough made a good fight for the amendment, which had a narrow es- cape on technical rulings by the chair, as it was a matter of doubt if the amendment was properly incorporated in the agricultural bill. MINER KILLED. Had Recently Arrived in Montana “From Michigan. Helena, Mont., Feb. 15. — Nestor Pumala, a Finnish miner, was instant- ly killed at the Rocky Fork coal mines near Red Lodge by a fall of rock. His partner, Henry Laurila, was also caught, but will probably recover. ‘Pumala leaves a wife and child. He came to Montana from Ironwood, Mich., a month ago. THE MARKETS.

TO SAVE HER VOICE. Lillian Russell Compelled to Submit to an Operation. New York, Feb. 15. — Miss Lillian Russell, prima donna of the “Lady Teazle” company, was under an ope- ration yesterday for the removal of two growths in her throat, which were gradually destroying her voice. While of serious nature, the operation was not dangerous, and Miss Russell was able to be about last night. a ‘WASHING’ mh * In the year 1729 Rev. James Marye, | & Huguenot refugee, and his bride landed on Virginia soil. This man was destined to fill a position of great trust’and importance. He was to be the spiritual guide and adviser of Mary, the mother of Washington, and her family. After years of research it has lately been proved that it was he that gave to the young George those famous “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversa- 'tion,” which bore fruit in the produc- tion ofthat most consummate flower of American manhood, George Wash- ington. That these “rules” played a most important part in the formation of Washington’s character has been acknowledged by all of his biograph- ers; in fact, the wisest and noblest of these “rules” are familiar in nearly every home in the country, but whence they came; whether they were the product of Washington’s own brain, or whether they came from some out- side and unknown source, and what this source was, has been for over_a century a matter of dispute and con- jecture. This learned clergyman, Rev. James Marye, belonged to a prominent Cath- olie family of Rouen, France, and was educated for the priesthood in the Jes- uit college of that city. In 1726 he renounced the Catholic faith, went to England and -was ordained in the Church of England by the bishop of London. There, i 1728, he married Letitia Maria Anna Staige, a sister of Rey. Theodosius Staige, a famous min- ister in the early days of Virginia, and who was at that very time rector of a chureh in St. George’s parish, a few miles from Fredericksburg. On first coming to Virginia Rev. James Marye became the minister of a settlement of Huguenots at Mana- can, or Manakinton, in Goochland (now Powhatan county), on the James river, above, Richmond, and so excel- lent was hiS reputation that the good people of Fredericksburg desired him for a rector. Accordingly, in 1735, as shown by the early vestry book, the church wardens asked leave of Gov. Gooch, as was the colonial custom, to call Rev. James Marye to their pul- pit. This request was granted, and in October of the same year he as- sumed charge of St. George’s parish, the principal church of which was in Fredericksburg, succeeding Rev. Pat- tick Henry, uncle of the famous ora- tor of that name. Thus began the long and eventful pastorate of the Marye family over. this historic church, the first Rev. James Marye serving for thirty-four years, and being followed by his son, Rev. James Marye, ar who ministered until his death, in 1780. As was the custom of clergy- man in those days, the first Rev. James Marye conducted an academy in connection with his church. It was this academy that Washington attend- ed. Except the tutors in families, the educational advantages in Virginia in 1745 were extremely limited. It was the custom of the wealthier families to send their sons to England to finish their studies at some of the great uni- versities.

Washing- in the family affairs. A large property | ton Irving, Chief Justice Marshall and was left to them, but there was little ready money and there were several children to educate and provide for. Hence the education of Washington, to his lifelong regret, was limited. It was under the care of this Huguenot that our great statesman received his most valued instruction. Rey. Jonathan Boucher, teacher of Mrs. George Washington’s son, John Curtis, says that George Washington had for his first teacher “a convict servant whom his father had bought for a schoolmaster.” This convict was most probably one of a shipload of convicts brought by Augustine Weshington (George Washington’s father) from England in 1737. After the death of his father (April 12, 1743). George, who was then 11 years old, was sent to live with his half- brother at the old homestead of Wakefield, in Westmoreland county, where he was born. Two years later he returned to live with his mother opposite Fredericksburg. It was then he became a pupil of Rev., James Marye. John Fiske, in his “Old Virginia and Her Neighbors,” states that at Henry Cabot Lodge knew not whence they came. One of the latest of his biographers, Henry Cabot Lodge, has the following to say: “It was reserved for the storms of war to reveal the source of the ‘rules.’ A little volume was found in a Virginia library.” On the flyleaf, he says, was the name of George Washington, written in a boy- ish hand. It was entitled “Young Man’s Companion.” It contained gen- eral truths and precepts, which, to- gether with Hale’s “Contemplations,” so he says, may have furnished the basis of the “rules.” This “Young Man’s Companion” was by W. Math- er, written in a plain and easy style, and was printed in 1742, and seemed to contain much varied and useful in- formation, such as lessons ‘in arith- metic, surveying, the drawing up of legal documents, measuring land and lumber, gardening, etc. *®ut Mr. Lodge is in error. Moncure D. Conway has recently brought to light the true history of the “Rules of Civility.” Mr. Conway, after an in- vestigation extending through years, with the aid of Dr. Garnett, of the this time Washington attended an ex-! British museum, found in that great Fredericksburg, of which Rev. James Marye was mas- cellent academy in ter. Paul Leicester Ford, in his “The True George Washington,” page 68, gives the following interesting ac- count: “On the death of his father, Washington went to live with his brother Augustine, in order, it is pre- sumed, that he might take advantage of a good school near Wakefield, kept by one Williams, but after a 'time he returned to his mother and attend- ed the school kept by Rev. James Marye, in Fredericksburg. It has been universally asserted by his bi- ographers that he studied no foreign language, but direct proof to the con- trary exists in a copy of Patrick’s Latin translation of Homer, printed in 1742, the flyleaf of which bears in a schoolboy hand the inscription: “Hune mihi quaeso (bove Vir) Libel- ’ lum - “Redde, si forsau tenues repertum “Uut Seias qui sum sine fraude scrip- tum “Est mihi nomen “George Washington. “It is thus evident that the rever- end teacher gave Washington at least the first elements of Latin, but it is equally clear that the boy, like most others, forgot it with the greatest fa- cility as soon as he ceased studying.” Among the manuscript copies of George Washington preserved in the State archives at Washingten, the earliest Of which bears the date of 1745, is a large manuscript book, in which in a boyish handwriting are 110 “Rules of Civility and Decent Be havior in Company and Conversa- tion.” <j institution a. volume containing these self-same rules, written in French. One edition of this volume was print- ed in Rouen, and was among the text- books studied by young James Marye when attending the Jesuit college of that city. This proves conclusively that it was he who translated these rules to his pupils in Fredericksburg, since he was the only man there who understood the French tongue, his na- tive speech. The variations in the manuscript left by Washington are ex- actly such as a young boy would make in following the oral instruction of his teacher. With these revelations it would seem that the dispute of historians and biographers over the history of these famous “rules” has at length been settled. Relics Worth Much Money. Relics of Lord Nelson are worth a small fortune. An ename.ed gold tele scope, once in the possession of the great admiral, was sold recently for £40; the wine flagon of Admiral Brueys, taken by Nelson, fetched 50 guineas; but a letter written by the gallant hero to Lady Hamilton just before he died realized the huge sum of pas ks For Mutual Admiration. “In general, we only praise heartily those who admire_us.” Just what was said the other day about the muiuai admiration society of literary folk who write “Appreciations” of other literary folk.

PARLIAMENT IS IN SESSION PROBABLY LAST SESSION OPEN- ED WITH USUAL POMP AND PAGEANTRY. BALFOUR DODGES THE ISSUES HE THRUSTS FISCAL PROBLEM ASIDE AND AVOIDS DIFFICALT QUESTIONS. London, Feb, 15.—The sixth session of the first parliament of his reign was, opened yesterday afternoon by King Edward with all the historic pageantry which has marked the cere- mony since his accession. The soyv- ereign himself read the speech from the throne to the assembled lords and commons in the upper chamber. The first day’s proceedings in par- liament ‘left rather a decided impres- sion in the lobbies that the govern- ment will manage to hold out till the end of the session. The government's legislative program, which is devoted in the main to social reforms, Will Be Fairly Popular, while the avoidance of difficult ques- tions like that of the redistribution of seats and Premier Balfour's firmness in thrusting aside the fiscal problem will tend in the same direction. More than usual inter attaches to yesterday’s opening of p ment, as the belief is practically universal that it will be the last session of the pres- ent parliament. Even should the goy- ernment escape defeat, it is thought that Premier Balfour will voluntarily dissolve parliament in the autumn and take the opinion of the country on the fiscal and other questions now ag- itating the electorate. Irish Nationalists Active. At a meeting of the Irish National- ists, presided over by John Redmond, it was decided to at once commence an active campaign and. move amend- ments as to the address in reply to the speech from the throne on the subjects of home rule, Catholic univer- sities and the Irish land act. The king’s speech from the throne was commonplace. The only reference to the Russo-Japanese war was to an- nounce that “My government has been careful to observe in the strict- est manner the obligations incumbent upon a neutral power.” LOUBET WILL STEP DOWN. President of French Republic to Re- sign. Feb. 15 President Loubet resign office before the expiration of his seven years’ term, which ends Feb. 18, 1906. His reason for this step is that the triennial renewal of the senate and the general election for members of the chamber of deputies will take place next year and parlia- ment will not meet until the close of 1905. Consequently to avoid the elee ion of the president by the new mem- bers he will in time for his successor to be elected by the present chambers, reunited in national assem- bly in the palace at Versailles, accord- ing to the constitution. The foreign office says there is no truth in the re- port that President Loubet F: cided to resign before the of his term. M. Loubet ha the slight intimation of resigning, and the officials here he undoubt edly will fill out his term. WILL FIRE ON COLLIERS. Japan Issues Warning to Nations Sending Colliers With Russ Fleet. Tokio, Feb. 15.—In discussing a re port that colliers had refused to ac- company the second Ru n Pacific squadron on its way north, a member oof the Japanese nawal staff said to- day: “Our commanders will fire on and sink any coolliers found in company with the Russian fleet, regardless of their nationality.” Vice Admiral Togo departed from Kure yesterday, his destination being kept secret. It is presumed, however, that he is proceeding south. COAL FAMINE CLOSES SCHOOLS. Trains Abandoned Because of Heavy Snow in lowa. Marshalltown, Iowa, Feb. 15.—The coal famine is becoming more acute in the city, and all the schools were com- pelled to close yesterday. Snow has been falling and the wind is drifting it badly. No trains are arriving in the city except over the North-Western, and they are all late. SOLONS SIDE WITH WARREN. Both Wyoming Houses Express Confi- dence in Senator. Cheyenne, W Feb. 15.—The two houses of the legislature adopted res- olutions yesterday expressing “con- fidence in the wisdom and integrity of Senator Warren.” The action was taken in view of the recent attempt to introduce “certain malicious resolu- tions” in the Wyoming,senate reflect- ing on the character and services of Mr. Warren. .
