Carpenter, the Washington nnrrcupnndsm of the Cleveland Herald, on a recent visit to Mount Vernon and Alexandria coliected some very interest- ing reminiscences about the father of his country. An interview with Mr. John COarne, a descendant of a Virginia revo. lutionary patriot, who was intimate with George Washington, presents Interesting pen portraits of tho first president of republic. “*What is your estimate of Washington a8 & man 7" “From a careful study,” replied Mr. Carne, *‘I am convinced that he is one of the t able men in our history. He would have made a firat-class presi dent during any admiotstration, I do not agree with those who think he would not have been able to govern the coun- try during its later years. I think he would have conducted any adminlstra- tion since the beginning as ably as any of hia successors have done, had he been elected in thelr plAce‘ One of Washington's leading attributes waa his common sense. He looked upon all sides of an action before enterlng upon it. Ho 'was strictly honest, and ho had » powerful will.” WAS WASHINGTON PIOUSY “Do you think he was a religious man?” *‘No,” was the reply, ‘I donot. He was a church member, you know, and a vestryman, but the vestry in those days was a semi-political and charitable board. 1 have heard old citizens say that Wash ington would often leave the church before the services were over. Communion, you kuow is served wtthe last of the service. The fact that Washington slighted communion is evi- dence to my mind that ho wasnota Christian of the cast.iron kind. An- other evidence is the fact that he preacher at his bedeide during his lnt sickness. He was sick, you know, for soveral days and there must have been ample time to have gotten a preacher if he had deeired it. He was thoroughly conacious to the last and is said that he timed his pulse as long as the breath was in his body. As it left him his hand dropped from his wrist and HE SANK BACK DEAD. “During his last hours he gave the most minute directions as to business matters, directing his wife to go and get ihe two wills which he had made and burn the one which he wished annulled. He directed that his corpse be kept for three days, and Tobias Lear, his private secretary, says among his last words were those in regard to his burlal. He died on Saturday night and on the next ‘Wednesday he was buried in a walnut coffin lined with lead. Many years after this his body was changed from this box to the marble tomb in which it now lies. At this time Westford, an old mulatto, was a sorvant at Mount Vernou and he was well acquainted with my father. A dsy or two before the removal was to take place my father told him that he was very desirous to have a plece of Washing- ton's coffin, and that if he would bring him a pioce as big as a keg of naile he would give him a keg of nails, or if he got one as big as an ax he would give him an ax. Westford in response to this brought back a piece afew days later as big s an ax, and father gave him a new ax. A piece of this my father sent to Henry Clay at Ashland, Ky., and Clay afterwards referred to it in one of his speeches in the senate.” A GOOD DHSORIPTION OF WASHINGTGN, An old gontleman whom I met above the Braddock hotel told me he had for yoars heard George Washington Custis talk of his adopted father. Said he: **Custia looked up to Washington as a god. He described him as s-raight 08 an Americin Indian and as free in his walk us the savage. From the stories I have heard of Washington I have tried to picture him 1 1y wind’s oye. He was a tall map, padded with muscle. He was eix feet two in his shoes, and he ' weighed 210 pounds in his prime. He wore about about number eleven shoes, and had gloves three times as large as the average, His hands were 8o large that they were a curlosity, and his whole frame was bony and large jointed, Ho had a broad chest, but not a full one. It was rather hollow, and he was troubled,in his last days with acough, His mouth was firm and his lower jaw gripped the upper with a determined grip. In later years he lost his teeth, and the false ones he got did not fit well and pushed out his lower lip. He had eyes of cold light gray, which could look stern and angry upon occasions, and which seldom smiled. He was 18 wide at the hips as at the sh-ulders, and kept his straightness of stature to the last. He had large legs and was & goed rider and runner. You have heard the stories of his wonderful strength of arm, and how Le threw stones wide distances, His nose was rather thick and coarse. I have never heard that he had a blossom on it, He was rsther fastidious as to his drese, though he wore plain clothes when not on military duty, He always shaved himself, but had a servant to comb and tie his hair avery moralog. 1 have heard M Curtis say that he rose very early at Mt Vernon, often befora daybreak, and as esrly as4a m, He would, atasunrise, go to his etables and lock at his blooded horses, When he came back he had & light breakfast of corn oakes, honey and tea, or something of that sort, and then he ate nothing more until dinner. 1am speaking of his later years, After break- fast he rode over his estate, and at 3 had returned and was dressed for dinner. Dinner was a big meal at Mt, Vernon, and Washington ate nothing after it. He naua'ly dravk five glasses of Madeira wine at de.mn but 1 have never heard of his being drunk, He was not op posed to the moderate use of liquor, and when he was first elected to the houte of DBurgesses of Virginis, smong the items of hie election expenses were a hogshead and a barrel of whisky, thirty five gallons of wine, and forty-three gallons of beer. dn tha Virginia House he did not cuts Alandria show Washington to have been # rigid business man, almost hard in_the exactions of hie contracts. With him a contrast was an agreement nevor to be violated. He said to a gentleman of my acquaintance that the old people who knew Washington, described him as a thorough busines man, who would exact the last cent in a contract, although the contractor may have lost 90 per cent, and on the other hand he would himself pay the last cent,altohuzh he might have lost equally as much, On olection days after the adoption of the constitution he would invariably be one of the first on hand at the polls, and would deposit the firat ballot, and always voted the fedoral ticket. It was stated by the old inhabi. tanta that Mra. Washington was given to giving the general a curtain lecture once Ina while. 1 give these gossips about the ‘‘Father of His Country” for what they are worth, It is almost a century since he was gath- erod to his fathers, and of course it is im- posaible to tell which of these gossipy stories are true, but most of them are probably correct. HOW WASHINGTON USED HIS POSITION TO MAKHE MONEY, I will add another story, which is true, showing that jobbing existed even during his daye, and also showing that Washing- ton himself engaged in that kind of busi- ness, Supposing during the presidency of Gon. Grant it was voted by congress to remove the capitol to a central polnt. Supposing Gen. Grant had bought a large tract of land, and used his presidential influence to have the new capitol located on his land, and thus made a big speculation. What a howl the democrats, as well as some republicans, would have made over it. The republican party would nover have heard the end of that traneaction. Yet tell it not in Gath, the aforesaid “‘Father of his Country” did that very samo thing. When the queation of locating the new capitol was up beforo the Firat congress for discussion, President Wash- ington owned o large amount of renl ca- tate on the preeent site of the capitol, as well as around . He wvsed his powerful inflonce to have the capitol lo- cated where it is. It was previounsly under consideration t> have it located at Havre de Grace, at the mouth of the beautiful Susquehanna where it empties into the Chesapeak. In order to get the state of Virginia to cede its ehare of the ten miles equare of the territory which once comprised the District of Columbia, lying on the south side of the Potomac, and which has since beon ceded back to the state. Washingtou left Philadelphia, where he was residing as president, and went to Richmond and used his inflence to get a bill passed making that cesslon, and then went back to Philadelphia and succeeded in having the capitol located as he wished, and thusmade a very hand- some speculation from the increased vslue of his real estate, Whew! If he had only done that during these times while acting President what a breeze it would have raised among the opposition. ‘'his proves conclusively that Washington was endowed with the human nature that we all have, and he lived in equslly as venal an epoch as we are now living in. Such is life. An Old Settler's Death. Thursday Mr. John Haney, Sr., died at his residence In Elkhorn statfon. He had lived to a ripe old age, being 78 years old at the time of hisdeath. He came to this state in 1866 and settled at Elkhorn. He had succeoded in accum- ulating a snug little fortune. He was well and favorably known all through this section and his death is greatly re- gretted by all. «@The gfuneral will take place to-day and the remains will be interred in Brit- ton cemetery at Blkhorn statlon. e —— Rev. Fowler's Thanksgiving, Thankagiving night at the South Tenth swreet M. E, parsonage was a very happy ocoaslon. The reception given by Rev. and Mrs, Fowler, according to the an- nouncement made yesterday, was attend- ed by a host of friends. The rooms were crowded to thelr utmost capacity. At va- rious intervals during the evening a very intereeting literary and musical program was rendered. The gathering was indicatiye of the high eocial qualities of this section of the city, and bespeaks for the church a successful and useful 2areer. e e— - IMPIETIES, —i Tt has been discovered that accordions were inveuted before the Christian era, — This fact makes it all the more remarkable that s Chris- tinn era shonld have ever arrived, On a Sunday night, after preaching a power ful sermon on hypocrisy, Rev, James W, Lindsay committed 8 burglary at Rushville, Ind., a8 a result of which he has gone to prison, One of the old ladies of the Salvation Arm; at Marblehead, Mass., declares that the eart is formed like a man, witharms and legs and body.” The open wea at the north pole i just beyond one of these arms and the explor- ‘ors must #ail around the arm before they can reach it, Tho vegetation is very rich, she adds, This suggestive advertisement iv taken {rom the Jewish Chrenicle, September 19: 'O tral \ynulu(un"l‘bu gentleman who, moment of abstraction, on Sabbath lufl. 2 awuy 3 nearly new Silk Uwbrella, which did not belong o him, is partioularly requested to return it to the Doorkeeper o that is may be restored to the rightful owner. ‘Yew, in M housebave I found their wlukeduun, saith the Lord,'(Jer, xxiii 11.”) No matter what mly ba public opinion about Mr, Beacher, there is no doubt of the Jove and veneration of his congregation.

Cornell, the Ames family, the Rev. Sidney Dfllon and other reprosentatives of the sweet-sconted property nearer to the congressional tribunal, The cause of the disturban-e was learned to have emanated from Mr. Jay Gould himself, and the general i nprea- sion on thestreet was that he had becomeo frightened over the prospect of an inves- tigation into the afairs of the road which he believed would be instituted by the new adminiatratlon at Washington, It was even stated that Mr. Gould, fearing the worst, had boen in constant telo- graphic communication with certain sen- atorw, republicans and democrats, and that the burden of hls prayer had boen, “‘support tho sixty year extention bill by all means.” Others ssid that the ‘‘Little Jay Hawk' had shouted this cry ever since that memoracle day when he addressed a congratulatory dispatch to Preeident- elect Cloveland, “This sixty-year extension bill,” said one of the best posted bankers on the strect, ‘‘is a shabby affair. It's nothing but a bid for time, It's like progression in faro, arguing on tho supposition that the government was the banker. It's delay and a doubling up schemo all the way through, and was introduced to off sot the Thurman and Thompson bills This ‘sixty year' bill make & calculation of the amounts due the government from the Union Pacitic and Central Pacific roads by figuring the interest on tho out- standing debt and adding that to the principal. Then tho schewme is to divido the amount into 120 parts, one part pay- able every six months, ali of which bears interest at the munificent suwm of 3 per cent annually. The road now owes,” continued the gentleman, *'§50,000,000 to the govern- ment, and this amount is due in 1896 and 1809, and this sixty-yoar bill is & move to stave off these paymonts.” 1t was furthor stated that every effort was to be made by Mr. Gould to defsat the Thurman_act, which demands that the Unton Pacific shall pay into the United States treasury 25 por cent of its annual earnings, “‘The trouble 'said another woll known authority, ‘‘that Mr. Gould groat ly fears Mr, Cleveland, and the namo of Allen G. Thurman acts as a red shirt to a bullon him. Kor twenty years the Unlon Pacific has haggled and delayed and even pasaed its just payments to the government. Now Gould feels that doomsday is near at hand., Charles Francis Adams, president of the road, has been running to and fro from Wash- ington since Mr. Cleveland was declared olected. He has also had many confor- ences with Senators Edmunds and Hoar, and it is even said thot and one or two other democratic senators have been committed to the elxty year scheme, but a detormined fight is to be made and the general opinion 1s that Mr, Gould and his frinds will be compelled to "l'“,?h up to the captain’s office and set- tle. How many shares of Unlon Pacific are now held in Mr. Gould’s name ? “Only about 100," laughed the banker; “but we all know that he owns between 90,000 and 100,000 shares of the stock, but it is hidden by another name.” Mr. Washington E Connor said that with the excepsien of Samuel J. Tilden all the large stockholders retained their possessions, and in many casea hold more atock than they did last year. Mr. Connor also stated that tho Astor family still held 5,000 shares of the stock, the Dillons 42,000 and the Ameses had increassd their holdings. He fur- ther sald that tho company had in New York banks €380,000, and that the in- terest charges of $300,000 would be met. Mr. Connor said that the road had no large loans out until January, when the semi-annual interest on $30,000,000 firat mortgage bonds, with others due, will amount to $1,200,000.
