M:. Dantels thinks that any such agree- ment would amount to an alliance and would be a return to a pre-war period and Mes whieh led directly to that struggle. Such an alliance he belicves Would be open fo the interpretation on the part of thfother nations that the three were secking to dominate the world and therefore would make the world suspicious. 1t is seriovsly questioned whether the Other eountries of the world would look with S0 much suspicion upon an under- standing between the three nations, the Jeading naval nations of the world, for the hecking or stopping of naval con- struction as they would to have them contintie the contest of trying to outdo the other fellow in the number and sirength of naval vess By the lat- n there would far more ground for suspicion that there was an allisnce to dominate the world than under the fermer. it eannot help yations suprort that they being regarded, when a naval holiday plan, are conesried with the idea ot a world peace, though their naval ength remaing relatively the same ond certainly with the leaders commit- ted 16 retrenchment in this direction t cannot fail to have a salutary effect pon ths otners. When nations agree o stop bullding Warehips they do not threaten war. They do on the other tand indicate a disposition to refrain from war and encourage peace and in- asmach as this country is nol in the jeague and other coun:r govern their naval construction by what this éountty does, greater confidence in the peaceful attitude of this country is gained through a restriction or su pen- the sion of naval constmiction a than b cpposite regardless o ion. the view of the present secretary of the navy. PRISON REFORM. Much is being done and said these days in behalf of prison reform. Ef- forts are being made in behalf of the best kind of buildings, comfortable and| educational features, leniency and the| repiacing of the kick with Ikindness. That there are instances where it has| the desired effec: s not to be denied, but thers are also evidences that it is neither appreci nor beneficial and that the polie reating crimin mueh better than ble citizens, ezcept that thers a restriction of | thelr liberty, carried many times be- yond the limit of common sense. The warden of the Kentucky state prison has given notice of the termina- tion of his services the first of the year. He is to go into temperance and Wweltaro work elsewhers and from re- | ports which come from Kentucky his| reform methods at the prison have| been a Tailure. In behalf of the pris- oners he even went so far as to disarm the guards of the institution with the result that there were ten prismers | %ho got away from the prison and the belpless guards, and two of the trusties lefon of murdering a wo- man It was advantage that was taken of the wardem's reform measure. He dis- regarded the safety of the public to the extent What he made it possible for ten eriminals to be let loose. Instead of be- ing impresséd by what was being done for them they quickly recognized the opportunity that was provided for them. It may be a great question as to Just how far reformers can go in such mat- ters. There is justification in dsding much for those whe can be turned in the right direction but there is danger nvolved in Gropping discipline and dis- tegarding public .welfare, cr getting the wrong idea of the meanifig of punish- went. FIGHTING THE FLY. It mAy Seem a bit dut of the ordi- hary, and to some a bit unnecessary to be conlronted with such a warning ts “Swat that fiy between Thanksgiv- Ing and Christmas” both because the Oy is not bothersome ard because the bumber is relatively smaill. But it is not beexuse of the bother or the num- ber that the oppoments of the fiy are at work, but Because it is one of the times when mueh valuable service can be ren- Sered in depleting the number that will be_with us mext summer. While April, May and June may be the best menths to conduct an anti-fly campalign, it is to be remembered that the killing of every fly now means that there will be billions and trillions less next summer. The sight of a fly is safficient for houseleepers to act in the interests of sanitary conditions The flies are not only the carriers of disease germs but they are woefuily unclean, so that it is the part of wisdom not to walt until they begin to pester, but to strike whenever there isan oppor- tunity amd reduce the swatting that will have to be done against the swarms ©f them mext spring and summer. Cold weather drives the flies indoors. advantags of every opportunity that is) offered thems.

Lafayette when he visited our country for the last, time In 1825 was his finding that the grave of Washington’s mother was practi- cally neglected, and that only a little, inferior headstone marked her last resting place. Mary ‘Washington died on the 25th of August, 1789, only a few months af- ter her son had been chosen the head of our government. Her home, at the time, was Fredericksburg, Va. She was in the 83d year of her age, and had been a widow forty-six years. She was buried on_the 28th, but the pre: dent did not hear of her deata until the 1st of September. In a letter to his sister, Mrs, Betty Lewls, Washington wrote: “Awful and affecting as the death of a parent is, there is consolation in knowing that Heayen has spared ours to an age be- yond which few attain, and favored her with the full enjoyment of her mental faculties, and as much bodily strength as usually falls to the lot of four score. Under these considera- tions, and a hope that she is trans- ported to a happier place, it is the duty of her relatives to yieid due sub- mission to the decree ot the Creator. When I was last at Fredericksburg I took a final leave of my mother, never expecting to see her again.” The last visit Washington refers to In his letier was when he was on the road from Mount Vernon to New York to be inaugurated on e April preced- ing her death. All over the country the mourning was general, press and pulpit made note of the event, ana members of congress Wore mourning for thirty days. In the passing of a resolution to bufld 2 monument in memory of his mother, Washington wrote: I attrib- ute all my success in life to the moral, inteliectual and physical education which I received from'my mother.” The funeral of Mary Washington was a modest one, and for many years afterwards her grave was _entirely neglected. In 1831 the citizens of Fredericksburg had secured about two thousand dollars for the building of a monument over the grave when Siias E. Burrows, of New York, asked “to be aliowed the honor of individually erecting the monument.” The gener- ous ofier was accepted and President Jackson laid the corner-stone on the Tth of May, 1833, In the next four years the base of the monument, witih Jittle Doric columns, was complet- ed and the obclisk was on the ground ready to be lifted into place when the work was suddenly abandoned. After proyiding money for the com- pletion of the work, Mr. Burrows went to China, where he died, then the con- tractor died, and the first monument was never completed, its stones crum- bled and fell, and around them, for four years, surged the great armies of the civil war. From time to time attempts were made to build a new one, several times bills for that purpose having passed the United ‘States senate, but fafied to pass the lower house, The Freder- Jcksburg Mary Washington Monument Assoclation was organized and chart- ered in 1839, raised a comfortable sum of money, and received from the city of Fredericksburg and others the land that was needed. The present moau- ment was finally etarted, with the lay- ing of the corner-stone on October 21, 1883, and on the 10th of May, 1894, the Rew monument was dedicated with Masonic ceremonies, and in the pres- ence of the president of the United States and many other distinguished guests.
