Mr. J , M. 0 rpontor , the Washington
correspondent of the Cleveland Ilorald ,
on a recent visit to Mount Yornon nnd
Alexandria collected some very iutoroot-
iug romtnlsconcea about the father of hia
country. An interview with Mr. John
Came , a doacoudaut of a Virginia revo
lutionary patriot , who was intimate with
Qeorgo Washington , proaenta Interesting
pen portraits of the firat president of
republic.
"What la your catimato of Waihiugton
aa a man ? "
"Prom a careful atudy , " replied Mr.
Carne , "I am convinced that ho ia ono
of the moat able mon In our history.
llo would'havo ' made n ( hat-class presi
dent during any administration. I do
not agree with those who think ho would
not have boon able to govern the coun
try during ita later years. I think ho
would have conducted any administra
tion since the beginning na ably aa any
of hia successors have done , had ho boon
elected in tholr place.
One of Washington'a loading attributes
waa hia common aenso. lie looked upon
all aidcs of an action before entering upon
it. Ho"wrt3 strictly honest , und ho had
a powerful will. "
VTA3 YrASIIINGTOH rlOUfll
"Do you think ho waa a religious
man ? "
"No , " was the reply , "I do not. Ho
was a church member , you know , and n
vestryman , but the vcatry in thoao daya
waa a aomi-politlcal and charitable board.
I have hoard old citlcena say that Wash
ington would often leave the
church before the services were
over. Communion , you know ia aerved
nt the last of the aorvico. The fact that
Washington Blighted communion ia ovi-
deuce to my mind that ho waa not a
Christian of the cast-iron kind. An
other evidence ia the fact that ho had no
preacher at hia bedside during hia laat
ilcknesa. Ho waa pick , you know , for
several daya and there must have been
ample time to have gotten a preacher if
ho had deeirod it. He waa thoroughly
conscious to the laat and is aaid that ho
timed hia pulse aa long aa thu breath WBB
in hia body. As it left him hia hand
dropped from hia wrist and
11 n SAKK BACK DKAD.
"During hia last houra ho gave the
moat minute directions aa to business
matters , directing hia wife to go and get
the two willa winch ho had made .and
burn the ono which ho wished annulled.
He directed that hia corpae be kept for
three days , nnd Tobias Lear , hia private
tecrotary , aaya among his last words wsre
those ia regard to hia burial. Ho died
on Saturday night and on the next
Wednesday ho w a buried in a walnut
coffin lined with le d. Many years after
thia hia body was changed from thia bos
to the marble tomb in which it now liea.
At thia time \Vestford , nn old mulatto ,
waa a servant nt Mount Vernou and ho
was well acquainted with my father. A
day or two beforatho removal waa to take
place my father told him that ho waa
very dflatrous to have a piece of Washing-
ton's coffin , and that if ho would bring
him a piece as big aa a keg of nails he
would give him a keg of naiia , or if ho
got ono aa biz as an ax ho would give
him an ax. "Weitford in response to this
brought back a piece a few days later as
big aa an ax , and father gave him a now
ax. A piece of thia my father sent to
Henry Clay at Ashland , Ky. , nnd Clay
afterwarda referred to it in one of hia
ipoechbB in the tonato. "
A OOOD DliSORIl'IlON -WASHINOTaX ,
An old gentleman whom I mot above
the Braddock hotel told mo ho had for
yeara heard George Washington Cuatla
talk of his adopted father. Said ho :
"Custia looked up to Washington
iuj a god. Ho described him an
craight aa an Ameriom Indian and aa
free in his walk ua the aivnge. From the
dtories I hove heard of Washington I
have tried to picture him In my mind'a
eye. Ho waa a tall man , padded
with rnuaclo. Ho was tix feet two
in hia shoos , and ho > weighed 210
pounds in hia prime. Ho were about
about number eleven shoes , and had
gloves three timea aa large as the average ,
Hia hands were BO large that they were n
curiosity , nnd his whole frame was bony
and largo jointed. Ho had a broad cheat ,
but not n full ono. It waa rather hollow ,
and ho waa troublod.in hia laat days with
a cough. His mouth waa firm and his
lower jaw gripped the upper with a
determined grip. In later yeara ho
lost hia teeth , and the false ones
ho got did not fit well and
pushed out hia lower lip. He hod eyes
of cold light gray , which could look atom
nnd angry upon Decisions , and which
Boldom einilod. Ho was i a wide at the
hips as nt the ahnuldem , nnd kept bis
straightnesa of stature to the last. Ho
had largo lega and waa a geed rider and
runner. You hare hoard the stories of
hia wonderful strength of arm , nnd how
ho throw atones wide distances. Hia
noao waa rather thick and coirae. I
have never hoard that he had a blossom
on it. Ho waa rather fastidious as to hia
dross , though ho were plain clothes when
not on military duty. Ho alwaya ihavod
hiraielf , but had n servant to comb and
tie hia hair every morning. 1
have heard < u Curtis say that
ho rose very early at Mt. Yernon ,
often before daybrcnk , and as early
a 4 a. m , Ho would , at lunrije , go to
bin ( tables and lock at his blooded
horses. When ho eamo back ho had n
light breakfast of corn oakoi , honey and
tea , or something of that aort , nnd then
ho ate nothing more until dinner. 1 am
speaking of hia later yoars. After breakfast -
fast he rode over his estate , and at ! i had
returned and was dressed for dinner.
Dinner was a big meal at Mt. Yeruon ,
and Washington ate nothing after it.
He wua'ly ' drank fire qlaatos of Madeira
wine at doiaort , but 1 have never heard
-of bin being drunk , Ho waa not op
posed to the moderate use of liquor ,
andv when ho wna first elected
to the hoaio of Burgesies ol
"Virginia , among the itema of hit
election ozpensca were n hogshead and a
barrel of vrhiaVy , thirty five gallons of
vine , and forty-three gallons of beer ,
dn thi Virginia House he did not cut a
great figure. Ho waa not much of i
speaker , but ho waa popular or ho coul <
not have hold his place for fifteen yean
as ho did. 1 have understood that he
treated his alavca very well , but that h (
made them work nnd would hi low iu
foolithuess among them , Washlnglot
liked the theatre , and bo waa fond o :
dancing in early life , "
AXOTlir.lt TALK
1 have had na to Washington regards the
savings of Colonel Charles Flood , ono ol
the oldest newspaper men of Ohio. Col
onel Flood waa born nt Alexandria am'
ho lived there fur years , llo said to r
gentleman recently that the traditions cl
AUndria allow Washington to have boot
n rigid business man , almost hard in the
exactions of hia contracts. With him t
contract waa an agreement never to In
violated. Ho aaid to n gentleman of mj
acquaintance that the old people whc
know Washington , described him as r
thorough busiiijas man , who would oxacl
the last cent iu n contract , although
the contractor may hnvo lost 00 per cent ,
nnd on the ether hand ho would himsoll
pay the laat cenlnltohujh ho might have
tott equally as much. On election daye
after the adoption of the constitution he
would invariably bo ono of the first on
hand nt the polls , nnd would deposit the
firat ballot , and nlwnya voted the federal
ticket. It was stated by the old inhabi
tants that Mra. Washington wna given
to giving the general a curtain lecture
once Inn while.
1 give these goasipa about the "Father
of Hia Country" for what they nro worth.
It is almost n century ainco ho waa gath
ered to hia fathers , nnd of course it la im
possible to toll which of these gossipy
stories nro true , but moat of them nro
probably correct.
HOW WASHIWOTOH USK1) HIS TOS1T10N TO
MAKU MONHY.
I will add another story , which ia true ,
showing that jobbing existed even during
hia days , and also showing that Wanhlng-
ton himself engaged in that kind of busi
ness. Supposing during the presidency
of Gen. Grant it was voted by congress
to remove the capitol to n central
point. Suppoaing Gen. Grant had
bought a largo tract of laud , and
used his presidential influence to have
the now capitol located on hia land , and
thus randu a big speculation. 'What a
howl the democrats , as well na oomo
republicans , would have made over it.
The republican party would never have
heard the end of thnt transaction. Yet
tell it not in Gath , the aforesaid "Father
of hia Country" did that very s.imo
thing. When the question of locating
the now capitol waa up before the Firat
congreaa for discussion , President Wash
ington owned n largo amount of real ca-
into on the prcecnt aito of the capitol , as
well as around it. Ho used hia
powerful inllunco to have the capitol lo
cated whore it is. It waa previously
under consideration t } have it located nt
Havre do Grace , nt the mouth of the
beautiful Susquohannn whom it empties
into the Cheaapeak. In order to got the
state of Virginia to cede ita aharo of the
ten miles cqutiro of the territory which
once comprised the District of Columbia ,
lying on the south aide of the Potomac ,
and which haa ainco boon coded back to
the state. Washington loft Philadelphia ,
where ha wna residing na president , and
went to Richmond and uaod his influnco to
got n bill passed making that cession ,
and then wont back to Philadelphia and
succeeded in having the capitol located
as ho wiahed , and thin made a very hand-
acme speculation from the increased v lue
"
of hia real estate. "Whew ! If ho had
only done that d urine these times while
acting President what n breeze it would
have raised among the opposition. Thia
provea conclusively that Washington waa
endowed with the human nature that we
all have , nnd ho lived in equally as venal
an epoch aa wo are now living in. Such
ia life.

had lived to a rlpo old ngo , being 78
yoara old at the time of big death. Ho

ulating n anug little fortune. Ho was
well and favorably known all through
thia section nnd his death ia greatly re

Thanksgiving night at the South Tenth
Btrcot M. E. parsonage waa a very happy
occasion. The reception given by Rev.
nnd Mra. Fowler , according to the an
nouncement made yesterday , waa attend
ed by n heat of friends. The rooms wore
crowded to tholr utmost capacity. At va-
rioua intorvala during the evening a very
interesting literary nnd musical program
was rendered.
The gathering was indicative of the
high eocial qualitioa of this section of
the city , and bespeaks for the church n
successful und useful career.

of the awoot-ocoiitud property nearer to
the congressional tribunal.
The caiieo of the dlsturbniro was
learned to have emanated from Mr. Jay
Gould himself , nnd the general i n pros-
Biou on the street waa that ho had become
frightened orcr the proapoot of nn inves
tigation into the atftira of the road trhich
ho believed would bo instituted by the
now administration nt Washington. It
wna even stated that Air. Gould , fearing
the worst , had been in constant tele
graphic communication with certain eon-
atom , republicans and democrats , and
thnt the burden of his prayer had boon ,
"support the sixty year oxtentlon bill by
all means. "
Othera said that the "Little Jay
Hawk" had shouted this cry over since
thnt momoraclo day when ho addressed n
congratulatory dispatch to President
elect Cleveland.
"This sixty-year extension bill , " said
ono of the boat posted bankers on the
street , "ia a shabby niTiir. It's nothing
but a bid for timo. It'a like progression
in faro , nrguing on the ( supposition Hint
the government was the bunker. It'a
delay and n doubling up nchcmo all the
wuy through , and was introduced to off
set the Thurtnan and Thompson bills
This 'sixty year' bill make t ; calculation
of the amounts duo the government from
the Union Pacific and Central I'.icitic
road a by figuring the interest on tin ) out-
atanding debt nnd adding that to the
principal. Thou the scheme is to divide
thu amount Into 120 parts , ono part pay
able every six months , all of Trhich bears
interest nt the munificent , sum of U per
cent annually.
"Tho road now owce , " continued the
gentleman , " 550,000,000 to tlio govern.
: n mi t , and this amount ia duo in 1801 ! and
1809 , nnd thia nixty-yoar bill ia a move to

It was further stated that every effort
rrna to bo made by Mr. Gould to defeat
; ho Tliurmin act , which demands thai
iho Union Pacific shall pay into the
United States treasury 125 per cent of its
annual earnings.
"Tho trouble fs"naid another well
known authority , "that Mr. Gould grout-
! y fcnia Mr. Cleveland , uud thonauiu of
Alien G. Thurman acts aa a rod shirt tea
a bull on him. For twenty years the
Union Pacific li.ia haggled nnd delayed
ana oven passed its just payments to the
government. Now Gould foob that
ioomsday ia uoar nt hand. Charles
D'rancis Adamo , president of the road ,
baa boon running to and fro from Wash
ington since Mr. Cleveland waa declared
oloctod. Ho haa also had many confer-
oncoi with Senators Kdmunda and Uonr ,
and it ia even said that Senator Garland
and ono or two ether democratic senators
liavo been committed to the tlxty year
scheme , but n determined fight is to bo
made nnd the general opinion la that Mr.
Gould and hia fiinds will bo compelled to
march up to the captiin'a office and sot-
tlo. "
How many shares of Uplon Pacific are
now hold in Mr. Gould's name )
"Only about 100 , " laughed the banker ;
"but wo all know that ho owna between
90,000 and 100,000 shares of the stock ,
but it In hidden by another namo. "
Mr. Washington E Connor said that
with the exception of Samuel J. Tildou
all the largo stockholdora retained their
poaBoasiona , and in many caaoi hold more
stock than they did last year.
Mr. Connor also stated that the Aator
family still held 6,000 shnrca of the
stock , the Dillons 42,000 and the Ameses
had increased their holdings. Ho fur
ther sild that the company had in Now
York banka $380,000 , and thnt the in-
toreat charges of $300,000 would bo mot.
Mr. Connor said that the road had no
lar p loana out until January , when the
aemi-annual interest on $30,000,000 first
mortgage bondn , with others duo , will
amount to $1,200,000.

Such incidents have been the turning
joint in the fortunes of more than ono
amily. "You must excuto mo , gentle
men , for I cannot drink anything , Buid
a man who waa known to the entire town
aa a drunkard.
' 'That'a the firat time you over refused
% drink , " paid nn acquaintance. "Tho
other day you wcro hustling around after
a cocktail , and , in fact , you even asked
mo to aot 'em up "
"That'n very true , but I am u different
man now. "
"Preachers had a hold of you ? '
"No , sir ; no 0110 hua said anything IR
me. "
"Woll , what hail oauied the olmtigo 'f
"I'll ' tell you. After leaving you tl.o
other day I kept on hnaLlIng ufior u cock-
,4il , as you term it , until 1 mot a parly of
: rlends. When I loft them 1 was about
lialf drunk , To a man of my tempera
ment a half -drunk ia a mieorablo con
dition , for the dcalro for moroia ao ntrong
that ho forgets bis sell-respect in hia
efforts to got mure drink. I remembered
that there wua a half-pint of whisky at
inino which had been purchoatd for med-
iinal purposes ,
"Just before reaching thogato I heard
roiccn in the garden , and , looking over
.ho fence , I aaw my llttlo BOH and daugh-
.or playing.
"No , yon bo ma , ' naid the boy , 'and
I'll bo pa. ' Now , you alt hero , nud I'll '
como in drunk. Wait , now , till 1 fill my
bottle. '
'Jlo took n bottle , ruu uway , nnd
illed it with water. 1'rutty anon lie ro
timed , and , entering the play-bongo ,
nodded idiotically at the girl and Bat
lown without any ing anything. The girl
woked up from her work and aald :
" 'James , why will you do this wajt'
" ' ' '
'Gettin' drunk.
' 'Wlu.'B drunk1 ?
" 'You are ; an' you promised whnn the
bnby died that you wouldn't drink I'.ny
more- The childritn are almost ragged ,
an' wo haven't anything to eat liurdly ,
; > ut you atill throw your money awuy.
Don't yon know thnt you are breaking
my hoait ? "
" 1 hurried away. The acting waa lee
Ifo-liko. 1 could think of nothing dur-

extruding hia right hand to hia visitor
and deliberately Boating himself in nn
easy-chair , thoomlncnt theologian opened
the interview by pleasantly asking ;
"What do you wnnt to know ? "
"A rcatmany people nro Interested in
knowing what yon think of tlio morality
ot our politics ] "
Monairjnor Capol reflected n moment
nud then said :
"Tho rule of my llfo 1ms boon to never
permit my self tu mix in party petition.
The Brooklyn Knglo of several days ago
contained nn atticlo which stated that the
object of my visit to Atnerrica waa to in
duce the Catholics to vote for Blalno.
"Ini'olitjcs and in the principles upon
which politics real , nf courao , 1 iitko an
active Interest iu the rights of parents ;
in the righto of pnrontn to educate their
children aa they may BOO lit'in ; thu
aacrodncBB ot the marriage tlo nnd in the
diviuo source of authority all these nro
things which coino into my province.
But ns far nu political parties nre eon-
corned 1 hnvo Bcrupultmoly nbataiuod
from intorfcrim ; in any way , giving my
vote in England the same na nny other
voter , nnd never inducing nny man to
vote ono way or the other. The oxtrn
influence which cornea to mo ni priest
ought never to bo prostituted to part } '
purpoecn. "
"Then you brand tlio Eagle's atnto-
mont na falao 1"
"Certainly. As to American politics 1
.ihould hnvo considered it the nemo of
importinoncato hnvo intuifcrodoilhor di-
rootly or indirectly with cithorpirty. The
statement in iho Brooklyn paper had not n
shadow of foundation. In the dnys in
which wo live the nuthoritloa of the
church do not mnko USD of pricoto nnd
prelates for interfering in parly politics. "
"Whnt nvo your general iniprusoionH of
the recent campaign ? "
"J am delighted to have been in Amor-
ca during the political content. It lirs
Drought vividly to my mind ninny of the
lotaila given by Llvy in his history of the
Itoman republic , nhowiug conclusively
that history ropoatn itself. Wo have had
the enmo slump oratory , the name inllu-
unco of demagogues as wns witnessed
[ our nnd twenty centuricii ago , and these
thingn have buon served na n lochautle in
Lho past few months , so much no that it
liaa given me an extra zcat in ro-roadlng
tny Livy.
"On thu ether hsnd I hnvo boon
struck , throughout , by the largo amount
of personal nolf-respcct and order in the
notion of the people , bat no man , judging
calmly , on do ether than Bay tuat it is
Joplornblo thnt BO much dirt ohould have
boun cant up in the press and thrown at
the presidential candidates. Thieves , '
'rascals , ' 'liars , ' have boon bandied
words , delivered nud taken without nny
apparent objection. "
"Unvo you heurd anything in relation
to the Oatholio vote ? "
"As n Oatholio I rejoice beyond moan-
tire , that If my information bo correct ,
our people lu\vo voted tint solidly
but dlvidedly. It is a good thing thub
the American public should undoratnnd
thnt n man may bo an excellent Oatho-
llo nd still vote honestly for n republi
can or democrat , nay even for Mrs.
BolvaLockwood. "
At the mention of tlio fair Bolvn'a
name tno Monslguor could not eupprcis
Btnilo.
"What do yon think about vote buy
ing1"As !
"As to whether votes nro bought or
not , I will pass no opinion. It haa boon
enid that votca nro bought and aold , but
I will not permit mynolf to bollovo any
thing so ignoble can obtain in n young
country loving liberty pure ot simple. "
flero thoprolnto glanced complacently
at the gold bucklea on his patent leather
pumps , and with a stnilo of inefT blo
goodness , naked Iho ecribo if there wna
anything eleo he wished to know.
