HE SURVIVED BUT A FEW H0UBS Feara of Disturbances In Parii Meat urea Taken to Prevent - Disorders. Paris, Feb. 18. President Faure died from apoplexy tonight. It has been known for some time that his health was weak, but the firt't intimation that he was siok was given at half past 6 this afternoon, when a message was dispatched to the pre mier, M. Dupuy, announcing that the president was ill. M. Dupuy immedi ately lepaired to the Elysee. All medical efforts proved futile and the president died on the stroke of 10. It was not until 12 o'clock that the news began to become known to the general public in Paris. From this time began a continuous arrival of pub lie men. Strict orders, however, were issued, and only members of the cabi net weie admitted to the Elysee. The report spread rapidly throughout the city, and large crowds soon assem bled in the vicinity of the palace. It is reported that the recently formed league, known as La Patrle Francaise, will actively push M. de Beaurepaire's candidature. Under the present exceptionally ex citing conditions, anything may be ex pected to happen. Much depends upon what General Zurlinden, military governor of Paris, as the head of the military element, may decide to do. M. de Freycinet has ordered the troops confined to barracks today. THE TREATY APPROPRIATION. It Caused a Lone Debate In the Na tional House. Washington, Feb. 18. In the house today the senate amendments to the agricultural bill were nonoonourred in, and the bill was sent to conference. Without further preliminary business, the house went into committee of the whole, and resumed consideration of the sundry civil bill. When the paragraph appropriating 120,000,000 for the .paymeut to Spain under the treaty of Paris was reached, Wheeler made a point of order against it: . His point of order waa that the paragraph was obnoxions to rule 21, invoked yesterday against the Nicaragua canal amendment. If the treaty of Paris was completed, if it was vital ized by the ratification of the Spanish cortes and the exchange of ratifications had taken place, he confessed that the treaty would be the law of the land and the amendment would be in order. He cited numerous decisions of tbe su preme court in support of his position. Then fol.lowed a long debate on that portion of the bill, and without get ting beyond that point the house ad journed. ' In the Senate. Soon aftei the senate convened today the house joint resolution authorizing the secretary of the navy to pay certain laborers, workmen and mechanics at the United States navy-yards and naval stations 50 pel cent additional for work performed in excess of eight hours per day was called up and adopted. The military academy appropriation bill was passed without debate, and consideration of the naval personnel hill begun. Morgan offered the Nicaragua canal bill as an amendment to the river and harbor bill, and had it referred to the committee on commeroe now consider ing that measure. . . The military affairs committee re ported the army reorganization bill, which brought out an extended discus sion. A house bill setting apart a certain tract of land, containing 10 acres, in Oklahoma to the Stella Friends Acad emy and Church Association was passed. Consideration was then begun of the postoffice appropriation bill. Practic ally the only obstacle encountered by the bill was the uommittee amendment providing for special mail facilities on the trunk lines from New York and Washington to Atlanta and New Or leans, and from Kansas City, Mo., to Newton, Kan. ' The amendment which appropriates $171,238 special mail facilities from New York and Washington to Atlanta and New Orleans, was then agreed to. 42 to 10. The amendment appropri ating $25,000 for special mail lacilities between Kansas City, Mo., and Mew ton, Kan., was also agreed to. Mantle of Montana, presented the credentials of William A.

Over f 1.000, 000 of government property was de stroyed by a fire which started tonight in the large machine-shop of the Brooklyn navy-yard known as machine-shop No. 28, and the workings of the navy-yard have received a seri ous set back. Stanley Brewer, single, aged 30, was thrown under his wagon, loaded with wood, near Eugene, Or., and killed al most instantly. He was found at mid night with a wheel on bis back between the shoulders.

Centenary to Be Observed by What Was Called a "Mock Funeral." On that December day, nearly a century ago. when the body of Geu. George Wash ington was laid away in the vault at Mount Vernon, "mock ' funerals",, were held in many towns and cities east of the Alleghanies. Our great-grandparents were hT their infancy in those far-away days, and many of them saw these "mock fun erals," which were conducted,' of course, with all solemnity. From these sights of childhood springs the conviction in the minds of centenarians here and there that they were witnesses of the real funeral. Such is the trustfulness of old age in mem ories of times long agtoe: " Ninety-nine years of national life have passed since then, and America hasvgiven far more attention to anniversary celebra tions of that happier event the birth of its first President than to the yearly re currence of the day of the funeral. This year, however, the centennial of that day will take place, aud the observ ance "at Mount Vernon will be on Dec. 14, the anniversary of the day of the death, instead of on the 18th, which was the date of the funeral. It is intended, nevertheless, that the observance shall take the form of - a duplication of the funeral services, going over the same ground as in 1779. So elaborate are the contemplated ceremonies that already plans are being put into shape for the great event. As Gen. Washington was a Mason, the services over his body were conducted, in part at least, by the Ma sons, and so the anniversary services will be under the direction of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Free and Accepted Masons. The Grand Lodge will meet in Alexan- Washington's first tomb. TOMB HOLDING WASHINGTON'S BODY SINCE 1831. dria, and, escorted by Lodge No. 4 of Fredericksburg, in which Washington re ceived his first degree; Washington Lodge No. 22 of Alexandria, of which he was the first master, and Federal Lodge of Washington and representatives of every Grand Lodge in America will go to Mount Vernon and there repeat the services or Dec. 18, 1799. It is expected that Presi dent McKinley, himself a Mason, wiH make an address, and after the ceremonies a banquet will be given in W ashington. The march to the tomb will pass, of course, the old tomb in which Washing ton's body was buried, and in which it rested for more than thirty years, though the objective point of the procession will be the new tomb, where the coffin now is. In his will Washington stated that "the family vault at Mount Vernon requiring repairs, and being improperly situated, I desire that a new one, of brick, and upon a larger scale, may be built at the foot of what is called the Vineyard Inclosure, on the ground which is marked out, in which my remains and those of my deceased relatives (now in the old vault), and such others of my family as may choose to be entombed there, may be deposited." Not withstanding his request, it was not until 1831 that the new tomb was built and Washington's body placed therein. And then the old vault was allowed to fall into a state of decay. In recent years it has been rebuilt from a drawing in the Con gressional Library, and it is now sur rounded by an iron fence, and is kept up with the same care as the new tomb. In 1837. when the marble sarcophagi in which the coffins of Washington and his wife rest were placed in the new tomb, the key of that tomb was thrown into the Po tomac river. At the request of Martha Washington door was made to the old tomb at the time of the general's burial, inarJ closing it with brick, as hnd been the cus tom at previous burials. The widow was sure that she would soon follow her hus band. She lived only eighteen months af ter the death of Washington, keeping en tirely, it is said, to her room on the third floor of the mansion, and upon her death. in 1801, her body was laid beside that of her husband in the old tomb. Washington was buried in a mahogany coffin, lined with lead, which was put in a case cov ered with black cloth. WASHINGTON A RICH MAN. Onueil Thousands of Acr.es of Land and Stock and Negroes. When Washington died he was one o( the richest men of bis time. He owned lands and stock and negroes, and his es tates amounted to thousands of acres. He had houses in Alexandria, Va., and prop erty in Washington. He had valuable lands near the present site of Pittsburg. He was throughout his life a money mak er, and when he was a boy he got $5 a day and upward for his surveying. He put his surplus money into lands, and an advertisement in .a Baltimore paper of 1773 states that he had 20,000 acres of land for sale on the Ohio river. His will, which is now kept about twenty miles from Washington, .in the safe of the old court house at Fairfax, Va., gives a de tailed statement of every article he pos sessed down to the calves and sheep. His personal state was then put down at $532,000, end-this included. a vast amount of tobacco, large numbers of cattle," sheep and horses, nearly all of which he willed to his wife. This will is now- kept in a wooden box, the top" of which is covered with glass. It was- torn in two some time ago by some careless sightseer, and since then no one has been allowed to handle it. The account books which are kept in the State Department show that AVashington was very careful about keeping a record of his expenditures. He put down every thing. ' . Washington's Golden Words. Interwoven is the love of liberty with every ligament of the heart. To persevere is one's duty, to be silent is the best answer to calumny. Without virtue and without- integrity, the finest talents and the most brilliant accomplishments can never gain respect or conciliate the esteem of the most valu able part of mankind. - Promote as an object. of primary Impor tance, institutions for the general diffu sion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened. Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. - Let me warn you most solemnly against the baneful effects of the spirit of party. It exists, under different shapes, in all governments, more or less stifled, con trolled or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy. My first wish is to see this plague to marlkind, war, banished from the earth, and the sons and daughters of this weld employed in more pleasing and innocent amusements than in preparing implements and exercising them for the destruction of mankind. Rather than, quarrel about territory, let the poor, the needy, the oppressed, of the earth, and those who want land, re sort to the fertile plains of our western country, the second land of promise, and there dwell in peace, fulfilling the first and great commandment. IMgnlty and Usefulness. During the American Revolution, an officer, not habited in the military cos tume, was passing a company of soldiers at work making repairs on a redoubt. The commander of a little squad was giving orders to those under him, relative to a stick of timber which they were endeavor ing to raise to the top of the works. The timber went up hard, and on this account the voice of the little great man was often heard in his regular vociferations of "heave away! there she goes! heave ho!" etc. The officer before spoken of stopped his horse when he arrived at tbe place, and seeing the timber sometimes scarcely move, asked the commander why he did not take hold and render a little aid. The latter appeared to be somewhat aston ished, and turning to the officer with the pomp of an emperor, said: "Sir, I am a corporal." . "You are not, though are you 7" said the officer. "I was not aware of it." And taking off his hat and bowing, "I ask your pardon, Mr. Corporal." Upon this he dismounted his elegant steed, flung the bridle over the post, and lifted till the sweat stood in drops on his forehead. When the timber was elevated to its proper station, turning to the man clothed "in a little brief authority": "Mr. Corporal Commander," said he, "when you have another such job and have not men enough, send for the commander-in-chief, and I will help you." It was Washington- riR. JOHNSON'S GREAT STRENGTH And Bow He Developed the Power to Handle Thirty Tons Weight of Lum ber Across a Saw Mill Floor Daily. M'MINNVILLE, Or.
