VERNON OF TODAY BY ELLIOTT RANDALL WASHINGTON AT MT. VERNON TOMB OF WASHINGTON TOMB OF WASHINGTON MOUNT VERNON T HE visitor to the capital of our country finds no place so interesting as Mount Vernon, the home of Washington during the greater part of his lifetimes, and the final resting place of his body. A great many people visit this place annually. It can be reached by two routes, the electric cars, which run from Washington, or by boat. This last is a favorite way, as it gives one a delightful trip on the Potomac. It is well to go one route and re turn the other, for in both instances historic ground is traveled to the very gates of Mount Vernon—that spot filled with sacred memories. Mount Vernon at first view presents a noble appearance. It stands on a hill 150 feet in height and the first glimpse reveals the house which one recognizes instantly. As the steamer nears the landing place and passes the tomb of Washburn, the bell is toiled, a custom told to have originated when a commodore of the British navy, as a mark of respect, ordered his ship's bell to toll when he passed Mount Vernon. A world of history lies in this spot. Mount Vernon as it stands today embraces but 237 acres, a small part of the original estate which, by grant of Lord Culpeper in 1674, became the property of John Washington. From John Washington half of the estate descended to Lawrence Washington and it was he who built the house and named it Mount Vernon in honor of the British admiral whom he had served. Last year, the property fell to George Washington, who purchased adjoining land. In 1799, when George Washington died, the property passed as a life interest to his wife and later Bushrod Washington, John Augustine Washington and John A. Washington, Jr., followed in succession as owners of Mount Vernon. In 1855 the owner, though possessed of a large estate hallowed by sacred memories and associations, felt he was unable to maintain it, as it was not productive of material benefits. Both the national government and the state of Washington were proached in regard to it. Finally through an agreement started by Pamela Cunin and the Mount Vernon Ladds' association of the Union was organized and 200 acres of the Mount Vernon estate, including the tomb, man- THE APPEAL. sion, attendant buildings and wharf, were purchased for $200,000. The approach is through a gateway to an attractive green, which extends to the mansion. To the left is the kitchen and kitchen gardens and many old trees, which were planted by Washington and his guests. One in particular is a large magnolia, which was out by Washington in 1799, the year in which he built theeton enlarged the original villa, built by Lawrence Washington by completing its isation walls are rork oak and the dead to resemble ingles and a spa- paries the whole the large brass the west from the point of ap- sion is the sun dial flanked by sev- ond of kitchen and main buildings and what mingled the heart!

Its foundation walls are of stone and brick, the framework oak and the sheathing pine, painted and stained to resemble stone. The roof is of cypress shingles and a spacious and well-drained cellar underlies the whole house. This is Mount Vernon and the large brass knocker on the central door of the west front indicates that this was the usual point of approach to the mansion. Nearby is the sun dial in the center of a spacious court, flanked by several frame buildings consisting of kitchen and offices, which are joined to the main buildings by columns. When the threshold is crossed what mingled feelings of awe and respect fill the heart. How the thoughts fly as the relics displayed in the different rooms are viewed! Several of the states have restored the various rooms at their own expense and many objects of the past greet the visitor. Here is the key to the Bastille, the prison so famous during the French revolution. Lafayette presented this to Washington in 1789 as a “trophy of the spoils of despotism.” There is the music room with the harpischord which George Washington presented to Neille Custis as a wedding present. In the room is the original Chippendale sideboard and the iron fireback brought to this country by Lord Faltrax, friend of Washington. Every room in the old mansion contains something of historical interest, but visitors are naturally drawn to the room in which Washington died. Here is the big four-posted bed upon which he lay when death overtook him. The quaint canopy and fixings of the bed have been restored and some of Washington’s personal effects add much to the impressiveness of the spot. Among these are his military chest and camp equipment. The family kitchen, with its quant colored dishes, iron kettles and swinging cranes, is a point of interest, while the smoke house nearby, larder and spring house show that many guests were fed and much material prepared to clothe the slaves and provide for the general use of the family. Each is fitted up in the style of the time in which Washington lived. Among all the charms of the home of Washington not one can eclipse the ideal flower garden, with its box hedges indelibly marking the walks and flower beds as in the past. Guests of distinction were invited to plant Defective Page trees, shrubs and flowers, mementoes of their visits. Lafayette and Jefferson have leaf monuments here, and the roses named by Washington for his mother and others named for him and Nellie Custis still flourish. At the end of the long walk in the garden is the little schoolhouse in which the Custis children were taught. The oldest building is the barn, erected in 1723 by George Washington's father. The English are laid in strong mortar made of oyster shell for the coach and saddle horses. The white chapel, the coach and leading coach was called, was kept in a carriage house nearby. South of the mansion on a brow of the hill overlooking the Potomac is the summer house. It contains a beautiful view of the river and its deep cellar was once used as an ice house. Nearby is the deer paddock, which has been stocked with Virginia deer. Though a tour of inspection develops historical attractions at every turn, the chief point of interest on the grounds is the new tomb of Washington, which stands several yards distant from the old mausoleum that once held the ashes of the Washington family. It is beautifully located in the park and powering plants and trees surround it on all sides. This simple yet elegant statement marks its importance. It was planned by George Washington and built by his executives. Within the iron portals one may see the catafalque that contains the remains of Washington and the sarcophagus that holds the body of his wife. In the rear of the tomb is an iron door that opens into the receptacle that contains the remains of others of the Washington family. The iron grating that closes the outside entrance has been heightened, for at one time a vandal attempted to climb over it. The gate is locked and the key is said to have been broken into by Bushrod Washington and John Augustine Washington, successors to the general, marble shafts were erected in front of the tomb. An old negro stands near at hand and for many years has discoursed to visitors on the spot and its surroundings. The simplicity of the tomb is characteristic of the man and those that gaze upon the resting place of the great hero instinctively speak in whispers and are awed by the memories associated with the place. One is bewitched and enthralled with the place and lingers long on this spot, where reposes that which is mortal of him who was as brave a warrior, as stanch a patriot and as able a statesman as ever lived. Speaking of Wu Ting-Fang's published announcement that he would part with his queue in the near future, a former resident of a New England manufacturing town said: "Times have certainly changed. Twenty years ago a Chinese youth who had learned to speak English fairly well and who was sick of the laundry applied for work in my factory. He was the first of his race to do in our town, and after talking the matter over I concluded to give him a trial. Fearing that the queue might be a source of danger near machinery, I suggested that he have it cut off. After two weeks deliberation he came to me and said, 'Stay in laundry room. I will be left town and I never saw him again, but I heard the its having considered my proposition made him so unpopular that he had to leave the place." Clung to His Queue Aged Mother Will Soon Be 111 Years Old. Mrs. Brandon, Who Has Been Honored by Uncle Sam and Her Native State, Still Does Own Housework. Moundsville, W. Va.—Mrs. Sarah Brandon of Moundsville, whose picture the government placed in the National gallery at Washington, in recognition of the fact that she gave more sons to the Civil war than any other woman of her country, will soon be one hundred and eleven years old. She was the mother of 23 children, all boys but one. Sixteen of the children served in the war, 14 with the Union and two with the Confederacy. Her native state of Ohio also honored her by placing her likeness on the wall of the State gallery at Columbus. Mrs. Brandon is hale and hearty. She does all her own housework and cultivates a small garden patch in the rear of her home. She smokes a pipe constantly, favoring only the strongest tobacco. Without the pipe, she says she grows nervous and lonesome. The little house in which she resides snuggles against a hill within a few yards of the city limits of the Ohio River town, and every week Mrs. Brandon can be seen wending her way to the city for supplies for her Sunday dinner. She has but one deformity. A hundred years ago, while playing with an another, the lad accidentally shot an officer in a miniature bow at her, the dart piercing her right eye, destroying the sight. Fifteen of her sons are living. The oldest is Hiram Brandon of Bellaire, Ohio, eighty-nine years old, who works every day at a hot furnace in a steel mill and boasts that he was never slick a day in his life. Her youngest son, Evan Brandon, of Moundsville, is seventy years old, and digs coal. He carries scars from bullet and saber wounds received while fighting for the Mrs. Sarah Brandon. Union in the Civil war. All the children of Mrs. Brandon became parents of large families, the oldest and youngest each having nine children. Before her marriage Mrs. Brandon was Miss Sarah Barker. She was born in Belmont county, Ohio, her father being a pioneer of that section. She can recall events during the time she was, and skirmishes which her father experienced, plotted in against roving and unsecured of Indians. At the age of fifteen she was married to Ebenezer Brandon, being his second wife. WONDERFUL NATURAL BRIDGE Perhaps the Largest in the Whole World is Located in South-western Utah. Salt Lake City, Utah—The largest natural bridge in America, if not, indeed, in the whole world, is the George Natural Bridge in southwestern Utah, not far from the state boundary line. Its total length between the huge natural abutments is about 200 feet; the width of the "roadway" is some 35 feet, while the span in the clear is about 90 feet. For the bed up the span is 160 feet. At the bottom flows a small water course. Just what produced this work of nature has for some time puzzled the leading scientists of the country. It could scarcely have been created by the wear of the water, unless there was a very large and swifc current flowing where the little brook is now. The general explanation is that volcanic action at some distant period of the world's history, was the active agency. The existence of the bridge is of comparatively recent knowledge to the public, though the Indians often spoke of it to the early settlers of that part of Utah. Little credence, however, was given to their stories and by over 12 years ago it was discovered by our leading prospectors. It is located in the heart of a very rugged region that is difficult of access. The span is composed of dark brown sandstone of an unusually hard quality, and is 20 feet or more in thickness. Engineers who have made a careful examination of this bridge pronounce it perfectly safe. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS RECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans 5-It is not controlled by thy ring or clique 6-It asks no support but the people's. Boston.—One of the articles which came from the estate of the late George Parkman of 30 Beacon street, whose prominent bequest to the city Boston will keep the name of Parkman is to come, is the old family clock, which has been ticking the hours away for at least 200 years. Inside the case are the words, "Made by John Eagle, London." Eagle was a clockmaker in the last part of the 17th and the early part of the 18th century. He was admitted to the "clockmakers' company" of London in 1690, and there are pictures of his clocks of the date of 1700 in some of the standard works upon this particular branch of the mechanic's art. But there is little or no history of this Parkman household relic. Same. Parkman Family Clock. uel Parkman, the grandfather of the late George Parkman, was a Boston merchant, living at 5 Bowdin street who died in 1824, and he left houses and lands, stocks, bonds and notes of hand of a sufficient amount to give each one of his eight children what must have been regarded at that time as a fortune. Among these eight children was Mrs. Robert G. Shaw, who was the grandmother of Col. R. G. Shaw of the 54th Massachusetts regiment, of Boston Curtis, the author and orator, and the ancestor of many descendants who have married and intermarried with some of Boston's most prominent families. There were also Rev. Francis Parkman, who was the father of the historian of the same name, and Dr. George Parkman. George Parkman, from whose estate comes Boston's $5,000,000 fund for the benefit of the people, was the son of Dr. George Parkman. Neither the grandfather, Samuel Parkman, nor the father, Dr. George Parkman, in their respective wills, left any public bequests. The will of Dr. George Parkman, indeed, especially provided against the submission of any inventory to the probate court, and any public bequest as little publicity as the requirements for a permit, was devised to the widow of two children. Therefore the amount of the wealth of Dr. Parkman at the time of his death in 1849 was never publicly known. And it is this considerable fortune of 60 years ago which is now unloaded into the lap of the city. BEDS POP OUT OF THE WALL Well Ventilated Tunnels Contain the Disappearing Sleeping Furniture in the Daytime. Kansas City, Mo.—In these days of space economy, beds, equipped with springs, mattresses, pillows, sheets and all, pop out of sideboards, desks, dressers or from under hall seats and roll to any part of the room or house in which their owner may desire to sleep. And then when the sleeping is finished the same beds are rolled A Disappearing Bed. Back into the place whence they came and the room again becomes a dining room, library, reception hall or whatever it was before bedtime. They are using such beds in Kansas City now. The bed is kept in a sort of tunnel in the wall under a stairway or cabinet or some raised place in the room adjoining at the rear. The tunnel is lined with galvanized iron and at the back end of it is an air shaft connected by a duct with a ventilator hole in the outside wall of the house. In that way fresh air circulates around the bed all the time it is in hiding. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. $2.40 PER YEAR EXIT RURAL CHURCH Pathos in Abandonment of the Country Meeting House. Once Not Only a Place of Worship But Center Around Which the Community's Social Organization Was Built. Columbia, Mo.—The passing of the country church is a potent cause of dissatisfaction that is helping to reduce the population of country districts. F. B. Mumford, dean of the Missouri Agricultural college, spoke of it as a cause for people leaving the farms. George B. Ellis, for ten years secretary of the state board of agriculture, says it is a result rather than a cause. Walter Williams says it both a cause and a result of the loss of farm population. But the striking fact is that it is going on. That the number of churches in the country that have been abandoned will reach into the hundreds is the declaration of these men, all three of whom have studied conditions carefully and intelligently for years. One of the deacons of an abandoned church was asked by a fellow member of his denomination what this change in church attendance meant "I'll tell you," he said. "It has been my observation that religious worship is not the only motive for going to church. With some people I have thought it was not the motive at all. The social side has been a factor. I have more than once heard men start negotiations for a home trade at church services, after the services were over, of course. The women passed whatever news they had back and forth among themselves, and the young men got an opportunity to talk to the girls after church. The telephone in the homes of the families who have most money has made an end of any social use church going served, and the poorer people are not strong enough to maintain the church." To men who spent their early lives in the country there is no one phase of this gradual reduction of country population that is more pathetic than the abandonment of the country Type of Abandoned Church. church. In the early pioneer days of the west when the Sunday school in the country schoolhouse grew big enough the people would arrange for preaching and then a little church would form. All over the west a quarter of a century ago or more these little organizations were busy putting the white frame buildings on convenient farm corners in the neighborhoods remote from the towns and villages. "That "meeting house" served really as a "meeting house" as well as a house of worship. It was the center around which the social organization of the community was formed and the standards for the young men and the young woman of the community. Half the courtships of the country people of the now outgoing generation began in these country "meeting houses." The marriages were often solemnized there. In those churches where infant baptism is practiced the children were brought to be "christened," and slowly in the rear of every country church the graves accumulated. The intimate association of the country church was second only to the family relation itself. Whatever social or economic conditions may have decreed its decay there is unmistakable evidence that in the older counties of this state the country church is of less importance today than ten years ago. The bare fact that in one county it is possible to name ten churches that are in the last ten years is a matter of no small importance to the communities involved or to the state as a whole. Blames the Sunday Schools. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-That the Sunday schools are largely responsible for the spread of contagious diseases is the belief expressed by Dr. F. J. Mann, medical inspector of the public schools of Poughkeepsie. The doctor referred to a present epidemic of whooping cough and says he has traced it to the Sunday school attached to one of the wealthiest churches. He adds that there are many deaths from whooping cough and declares that some measures should be taken to protect the Sunday school pupils. "It is not the child in school that dies of whooping cough," says Doctor Mann. The baby at home that dies of whooping cough is from the public schools because of contagious diseases are permitted to go to Sunday school. In most of the Sunday schools the ventilation is much poorer than in the public schools and the diseases are thus quickly spread." HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

The Washington Post reveals the startling fact that the typewriter deserves a place among the death-dealing inventions of the 19th century. The facts in the case are these: A New Jersey firm sent a typewritten communication in reference to a business transaction to a Kentucky mountaineer. The Kentuckian responded as follows: Now I don't want no more of yore printed letters. I wont stand sich from no house. I am fifty-six years ole the last of next coming January and the furst man has got to put my back on the ground yit. I may R. W. The Great Emancipator Whose 102d Birthday Was Celebrated Last Sunday.

Yours truly. If that "Kaintuckian" lived in Tennessee he would have a poor show of ever getting on a jury; still owners of typewriters had better beware of him as it is reported that he always totes a pistol. All over the United States, the Irish are making a fight against the comic post cards in connection with St. Patrick's day. The Ancient Order of Hibernians have petitioned the Postmaster General to prevent the objectionable matter from going through the mails. The Irish are right. There is no reason on earth why these scurrilous cards which reflect upon the Irish people should be transported in the United States' mails. All honor to people who so vigorously protested against the insults offered to their race. This matter of objectionable post cards ought to be looked into by the Afro-Americans, for there are now in circulation many hideous caricatures of race. Somebody ought to take hold of the matter and make some noise about it. No wrongs are ever righted except by protest. Kick! Kick! Kick!!! CAPITAL CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANITY The Washington Herald, in a recent issue, has a long-winded editorial on the goodness' of the people of the Capital City and among other things says that the lives of the residents are in keeping with the highest tenets of Christianity. This may be true in some respects, but when the color-line is reached the Caucasians of Washington do not follow the tenets of the meek and lowly Nazarene. In no city in the United States is there more bitter race hatred, and there is less reason for it than in many other places. While there are many bad Afro Americans, the percentage of intelligence, refinement and wealth is large, but this seems to infuriate the alleged Caucasian Christians and cause them to hate their Afro-American brethren the more bitterly. The Caucasian hypocrisy has been strikingly shown on several occasions within the past year. In one fashionable street, there is a block containing many fine residences. Among them, however, are a few shacks occupied by low-grade Afro-Americans, but the aristocratic whites and lowly blacks have lived in harmony for many years. Last year a wealthy Afro-American. with an income of about $3,000 per annum, purchased one of the fine houses and moved into it. The gentleman is a man of the highest character, his wife is a lady of refinement, a graduate of one of the leading American universities and also a graduate of a famous German conservatory of music, in fact the entire family is infinitely superior in every respect to any white family in the block, but the Caucasian Christians became indignant at what they called a "Negro invasion," and began to move away one by one and now they have all gone, many who owned their own home having sacrificed them to get away from Afro-American Christians. And by the way, it was a committee of Washington Christians which decreed that no Afro-Americans should be permitted to take part in the Sunday school parade in that city last year. Few Caucasian Christians live up to the highest tenets of Christianity when the color-line is reached. KEEP NOT SILENCE. At a consistency to be held early in March, the Pope will deliver an important allocation of protest at the loss of temporal power and territorial integrity by the Holy See. He will solemnly reaffirm the imprescriptible rights of the Holy See in Rome. The allocation will notify Catholic sovereigns and heads of state not to visit Rome during the jubilee celebration of Italian unity in 1911. The Austrian, Spanish and Belgian governments have formally assured the Vatican on this point. It is not thought that any state diplomatically represented at the Vatican will disregard the protest, which is merely intended to guard against the possibility of the Holy See's silence being interpreted as tacit consent to the present situation. The Afro-American ought to protest at all times and all occasions against the wrongs to which he is subjected in this country. "Silence is being interpreted as tacit consent" to the injustice with which he is treated. Under the influence of the spirit of commercialism, the nation has broken loose from its religious moorings. This accounts for the prevalence of all forms of evil, lynching, the white slave traffic, adulteration of foods and drugs and frequent divorces. The church has lost its repressive power and seems to every day become more tolerant of many forms of evil. Peonage in its worst form is said to exist in at least twenty-five counties of Texas. The victims are both black and white. As our opinion of "Hell and Texas" coincides very closely with that of Gen. Sheridan, we find no difficulty in believing the reports.

Great as was his real character and inestimable as were his services to the country Washington was not a demi-god nor even a man of genius. But he did possess a genius for honesty and patriotism and was the incarnation of common sense. It is well for the American people that they have idealized Washington, and it is to be hoped that they may never lower nor change their ideal, and yet he was very human. As a young man and, even after his marriage he was very fond of fox hunting. He could get very angry on fit occasions and sometimes swore. He drank a generous glass of wine every day at dinner and allowed his negro butler and cook each a bottle of beer a day. Nearly thirty years ago a friendly biographer wrote: "Eighty years have now passed since the death of George Washington, and already he is hidden from us in some degree by a haze of eulogy and tradition. He has been so uniformly extolled that some of our young men tell us with a yawn, that they are tired of hearing Aristides called "The Just." Washington himself never pretended to be more than an average man, though all his contemporaries knew he was. All that he claimed was to be perfect master of himself and to use such powers as God had given As a memorial to Washington and his associates for the valuable work done by them for American independence at Valley Forge, Pa., in the darkest hour of the revolution, there is being built now in that historic place a group of buildings of great beauty and of interest to every patriotic American. The buildings will occupy a superb site, and they include the Washington Memorial Chapel, the Cloister of the Colonies, the Patrolts' hall, with its Porch of the Allies and the Thanksgiving Tower, and the Washington Memorial library. When completed these structures will be a unique memorial, the tribute of a grateful country to Washington and his fellow patrolts. The facade of the cloister, consisting of the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts bays is completed. The chapel -T. C. Harbaugh him the best he knew how. Once as a procession in his honor passed through the streets of a city he heard a little boy exclaim: "Why, father, General Washington is only a man!" He looked with thoughtful interest on the child and played him on the head replied: "That's all, my little fellow, that's all." He was one of the most dignified men that lived, yet one of the most modest. One finds pleasing evidence of his common humanity in the fact that while quite young he fell easily in love and wrote verses—and sentimental verses at that. When he was twelve years old, shortly after the death of his father, he was sent to school at Fredericksburg after promising his elder brother to be "steady." It was a mixed school of boys and girls and one of his schoolmates, a cousin, said in later life that while George was remarkably studious he was also fond of "romping with one of the largest girls; this was so unusual that it excited no little comment among the other lads." It was while at this school that George wrote the following acrostic: From your bright sparkling eyes I was undaunt. I gave more transparent than the Rays you have more transparent than the skin. Amidst its glory in the rising day, None can you equal in your bright array. Concern in your valm and unspotted mind. Equal to all, but will to none prove kind. So knowing, seldom one so young you'll find. Ah, was me that I should love and conceal Long have I wished but never dare reveal, Even though severely Love's pain I feel; Xerxes the Great wasn't free from Cupid's dart. And all the greatest heroes felt the smart. LLEY FORGE is only partly built, but is already rich with memorials of the heroes of the past, including the Washington-Sullivan, font, the Washington-Wood pulpit, lectern and perclose, and the pews of the patrons. The first room of the Patriots' hall has been built, and contains among the other treasures of the Valley Forge Museum of American History, the marquee used by Washington throughout the revolution as his offi- master of the Colonies, Patriots' Hall, the "Thanksgiving Tower," and the East Valley Forge. special headquarters. The De Kalb and Steuben bays in the porch have been promised by the German-American Alliance. The state of Pennsylvania has already acquired a large part of the land at Valley Forge sanctified by the sufferings of the patriots of the revolution, and the federal government has made an appropriation of $100,000 for the erection of a memorial arch. ```markdown ``` An unestotian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.
