THE FRONTIER D. H. CRONIN, PUBLISHER. W. C. TEMPLETON, Editor and Business Manager. O’NeTlL, NE BRA8K A Mrs. Smith-WUlilnson, called the "most extravagant woman In Europe" because she has a wardrobe and Jewels that would stock a large store, has an swered critics In a letter to London pa pers. Her answer applies to criticisms received from ell parts of the globe. Bol shevists warn her against her intended visit to New Tork. They threaten to kidnap her, take her Jewels and hold her for a large ransom. Extravagance Is out of order In this day of unemployment, they claim. Mrs. Smlth-Wilklnson de nies she Is "a dress maniac.” "I have come to the conclusion." she says, "that by spending my money Judiciously. I am doing Indefinitely more good than If I hoarded It. I take great care to place It In the direction which will give the most employment. Some of my gowns take months tc> make." In spite of threaten ing letterf she expects to visit New York. How four of his crow were swept over board by a giant wave during a storm and three of them were returned to the deck by the same wave was told by Capt. Edward Fogg of the Boston fishing schooner Athena when he brought his vessel Into port. The fourth sailor was drowned. When the vessel was making for Provtnootown to escape the storm four of the crew were dressing fish. A great sea swept over the vessel and car ried all four at least DO feet from the vessel the captain said. The same wave brought throe back and deposited them on deck, but the fourth was caught by a second wave and carried away. Sol Stephen, manager of the Cincin nati soo. seeing a dispatch that Boris, king of Bulgaria, wantod to sell his pri vate menagerie. Including two elephants and several buffaloes, sent a cablegram to the king. The xno manager said he would buy them If safe landing In Now Tork u~ .uaranteed. The menagerie was established by ex-Etnperor Ferdinand, and the appetites of the elephants and buffaloes are so great that King Boris Is bard pressed to feed them out of his slender Income. The king Is much at tached to the elephants and calls them hie "little pets,” but Bulgaria’s purse Is empty, and so is the king's, and he cannot afford to keep them. Luxurlen are not for the divorced, ac cording to one New York Judge. "It Is not the policy of the law," he declared, "that a woman who Is asking to end the marriage contract shall have all the lux ury of marriage. It Is the policy of the law that she should be entitled to such' an allowance as would make It possible for her to live In the manner In which she had been accustomed. But that does not mean that she Is entitled to one third of the income her ex-husband re ceives. She cannot expect all of the extras that a loving husband would naturally bestow upon her If two were living contentedly together." A want ad In a Richmond, Va., news paper, brought letters and affidavits from two "buddies” to prove that D. W. Bean, 82. was a civil war veteran and assist him in obtaining a pension.

Council Bluffs, la., Feb. 19.—The ft. O. T. C. and compulsory military training In the high school found an earnest supporter In the person of Gen. M. A.

The committee, selected us the re sult of a vote In 18 unions. Messrs. Whitlock. Negley and Fogel, were ut the meeting and each expressed In detail his objections to the work. In addition to General Tinley, John G. Wadsworth and Capt. Sam Greene, formerly of the service company of the 168th infantry, were present and spoke during the discussion. The principal objection of the la bor representatives appeared to be a fear that the system was the fore runner of militarism in this country. There was no thought of discount enancing the uniform or the flag and this fact was especially called to the attention of the board by the speak ers but they questioned the feasibility of the plan In the schools and es pecially disapproved of the com pulsory feature. It was the thought of one of the speakers that It tended to add to the domination of a favored few at the expense of labor—that labor would be placed In the position of being called out to fight the battles of the favored few and that it was a menace to peace. General Tlnle-y. In defending the R. O. T.

UNPUBLISHED LETTER OF GEORGE WILLIAM ' CURTIS ON WASHINGTON'S GREATNESS Written to the L te General Livingston £atterlee as Chair man ui a Washington's Birliiday Celebration ^ Si il fiffl Ifia iolovt/1 in 1 fiCO Prom the New Vork Times. West New Brighton, April 27, 1889. My Dear Sir: I regret sincerely that my untimely lameness prevents my attendance at the dinner, but 1 console myself with the reflection that upon such an occasion the absence of no individual is Important. I can easily forecast the enthusiasm and eloquence of the hour, and I am sure that the great shade of Washington, who had a very contemptuous opinion of the Tory Staten Island of 100 years! ago, would beam benlgnantly upon and fervently patriotic Staten Island of today. The one point upon which amid many angry differences of a century all Americans are agreed is the great ness of the character and the service of Washington. In the tremendous civil convulsion In which those differ ence* culminated, he was still the ob ject of the common love and rever ence of the combatants, and the great controversy ended in happy acquies cence in the constitutional govern ment, which he organized, and in the national union of which he was the sublime personification. The Centennial celebrations of the last 14 years, beginning with those at Lexington Green and Concord bridges, have commemorated the heroic endur ance and patriotic devotion of the revolutionary colonies and Washing ton as a soldier. But the triumphant festival of this year presents to us Washington as a statesman; and great as the soldier was, the states man was greater. In both it is moral grandeur which commands our ad miring homage. No strictly military feat of Washington was so eminent as his prevention of the march of the discontented Continental army upon congress, or his refusal of the dic tatorship or the crown. So the con summate skill with which he admin istered the government was a service even less beneficent than the univer sal acquiescence in the government itself, which was won by confidence In his character alone. This Centennial commemoration, t __ “ f however, will naturally bring Into fuller national recognition not only the moral grandeur of the man, but the supreme ability of the statesman. We are willing to admit that Wash ington was good, but we are not al ways so sure that he was great. Yet no achievement of statesmanship in history is greater in Itself or has proved of greater benefit to mankind than his organization of the govern ment under the constitution. With no precedent to guide him, his absolute rectitude, his marvelous sagacity, his knowledge of men leading him to the choice of the wisest agents, his in tuitive comprehension of Just nation al relations and his calm and un shaken Judgment, established the fun damental policy upon which the gov ernment has been always adminis tered, and gave it tho national im pulse which after tho turbulent con troversies of nearly a century is now* peacefully and happily supreme. No people upon an occasion Ilk* this could have greater cause than w» for exulting pride both in the charac ter of our Constitution and in the man who inaugurated the government which it established. And that noth ing may be wanting to that prids when the Constitution and govern ment of Washington came to their crucial trial it appeared that his spirit and purpose still animated his coun try, and his work was maintained and given to perpetuity under the leader ship of the only American whoso name is ever associated in grateful revet-, ence with that of Washington. As we enter upon our second cen tury we may be very sure that the sole security for the permanence and true prosperity of the republic lies not in our vast domain, In our amaz ing industrial enterprises and inven tive skill, in our marvelously increas ing population, and our abounding wealth, but In the unselfish patriot ism, the incorruptible integrity, the simple manly virtues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Very truly yours, George William Curtis. WASHINGTON BROTHER’ TO MASONS. Father of Country Master of Lodge and Took Active Interest In Order. To Masons he was “Brother Wash ington”—Just like that! And he was master of his lodge—that of Alexan dria, Va.—when he became the first president of the United States. Four years later, shortly after his election for his second term. President Wash ington proclaimed his Masonic affili ation to the world by laying the cor nerstone of the present capitol in Washington In the character of a grand master pro tem., wearing rega lia which Included an apron presented by Lafayette. When Washington died at Mount Vernon, December 14, 1799, three phy sicians, all of them Masons, were In attendance. One of them. Dr. Dick, was master of Washington's lodge, and presided at a lodge meeting whereat the details of the funeral were arranged. Masonic services on that occasion were performed by tho worshipful master, assisted by the chaplain, and the 79 members of the lodge marched in the funeral proces sion. Washington became a Mason in the 21st year of his age at Fredericksburg, Va. During the French and Indian wars he Is said to have held a lodge near Charleston, Va. Later records prove that he found time for exer cises of the brotherhood during the trying times of Valley Forge. Ac cording to tradition Freemasonry had such a democratizing influence on his point of view, congenitally aristocrat ic, that at Cambridge he sat in a lodge of which an orderly-sergeant was master. In the revolutionary army he was a Mason among Masons. Lafayette was of the craft, and so were Gens. Na thaniel Greene, Ethan Allen, ‘William Moultrie, “Mad Anthony" Wayne, “Lighthorse Harry” Lee, John Stark, Israel Putnam, Francis Marion and John Sullivan. As for the Masonic statesmen of the time, their number included Samuel Adams, Patrick Hen ry, Paul Revere, James Otis, Peyton Randolph, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Robert Liv ingston, John Jay and Robert Morris. The grand lodge of Maryland pre sented Washington with an address in 1798, when ho had been called from retirement to accept the command of a provisional army on account of danger of war with France. His re sponse was replete with Masonic al lusions. One passage ran: p “If it has pleased the Supreme Ar chitect of the Universe to make me a humble instrument to promote the welfare and happiness of my fellow men, my exertions have been abun dantly recompensed by the kind parti ality with which they have been re celved. And the assurances you give me of your belief that I have acted on the square in my public capacity will be among my principal enjoy ments In this terrestrial lodge.” "A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well digested plan is requisite, and their safety and inter est require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essen tial, particularly military, supplies,"—■ Washington, First Annual Address, 1790. THE CHARACTER OF WASHINGTON. By Henry Cabot Lodge. and with every step the greatness of the man has grown upon me; for analysis has failed to discover the act of his life which, under the con ditions of the time, I could unhesitat ingly pronounce to have been an error. Such has been my experience, and al though my deductions may be wrong, they at least have been carefully and slowly made. 1 see In Washington a great soldier, who fought a trying war to a successful end Impossible without him; a great statesman, who did more than any other man to lay the foundations of a republic which has endured In prosperity for more than 4 century. I find in him a marvelous Judgment which was never at fault, a penetrating vision which A convict put to death is im mediately cut open.

I see in him, too, a pure and high minded gentleman of dauntless cour age and stainless honor, simple and stately of manner, kind and generous of heart. Such he was in truth. The historian and the biographer may fail to do him justice, but the Instinct of mankind will not fail. The real hero needs no books to give him worship ers.
