MAN ABOUT TOWN. Some' Thoughts Carefully Selected sad Trimmed About the Immortal ! " George. Tomorrow is tho birthday of the Father of his Country. It is an Interest Ing fact to note that no matter how b'g the child has grown, it is no bigger or better then its father. He is the subject ot many encomlnas and eulogln: but of all that haa been said ot him he dcaervea the praise accoided llm. There haa been no disclosure In history to show that the honor paid Qeorgo Wash logton during this more than a century was mis, ltosd. A. good many say that opportunities inch aa Wathington had do not fall to every one's lot. Ts. and there are few whohid 1h dlfflviltle to sirmouut that be i'A ' Ftum the time (but he re fused to tell a lie to the ' occasion whea he retired from aoilve life, hi career was one of terrible hardships and singu lar successes. Take one proposition as considered with the other, he waa the most remarkable man in American h'a tory If not in the world, -Of course, we admit that there in noth log more than tradition attached ti the oher y tree, hatchet and lid suni but it It no lets a marked and Impressive char acterlatio of Washington that early in life he realized theimporta'CP of the truth whether it was for his weal or woe. -In fact, bad he rhoien falsehood rather than truth he would bao been given a fat office In Ills M-j-stj's ser vice, Mlber tbsn jlelii principle for a doubtful luxurr. Of that beautiful tribute to Washing ton wblrh says that fas was "Flrot In peace, first in war, and fiist In the hearts O? his C"in ly'Ktn, I! ill Nye ssys In hit inimitable aj:" George was always ready. Ifyopwaottd a man to be first in war, you cou'd call on George. If you desired an adut who could be first bisimaj In time of peace, Mr Washing ton conld be telephoned at any time of the day or night. If yon nceMed'e man to ba first tn the hearts of his country men, George's poatofflce address was at one secured." ' . We close with this little memorial to the premier president with a little verse from the pen ot Robert J. Uurdetle: "When Washington waa Presides I He was a mortal Icicle; Be neve on a railroad went, - And neyer rode a bicycle. He read by not electric lamp. Be ne'er . heard about tin Yillow ! 7 atone; . He never licked a postage-stamp, Aud never saw a telephone. His trousers ended at the knesi; , By wire he oould not sualch despatch; He filled his lamp with whale oil grease, And never had a match to tcratoh.

A Port Arthur dis patch says that Russian troops there and at Yladlroitock are threatened with a food famine, At Port Arthur 'tha top ply of provisions are to low that specu lators are endeavoring to secure steam craft to run Jbe blockade which tha Japanese 11. et has established. Dalny is being drawn upon for a slim snpply, but this does not relieve tha situation. It the Japanese can land a force at Dal ny, and cat oft Port Arthur by land, it will be Impossible for the Buseiana to hold out tong. Because of shortage of food all residents of Port Arthnr were sent away and the place occupied ex clusively by troops. These are now be ing pinched for want of food At Vladlvottock the Russian government haa orded all civilians to leave because of scarcity of food. London, Feby 22. Baron Haymahl.the Japanese minister to Great Brltlan, says that Russia Is as unprepared for war as China was nine yeara ago, and that the troops of the Mikado will content them selves for the present with establishing a thorough organization aad advancing gradually toward the Yalu rlvor aa the construction of the railroad from Seoul progresses, This utterance of the Baron Is not taken seriously at It Is not like Japan to wait until Russia is prepared before striking a decisive blow.

':, .A, At best, the aehool system Is a difficult problem to handle, and those In charge very aeldom have the 'encouragement or soppoft of Ute . pns;V which they de- serve. - . . ".v.. -r The preoinct referred to by the corres pondeat, Is a large ope, thickly settled, an unusually Urge number of children being enrolled for attendance at the pub 11c school. The attendance Is very Irregular, aad as a rule, school committees for pur poses of economy base; the facilities for teaching on a minimum attendance. In moat cases this works all right, for peo ple are extremely careless about sending their children to school. As has already been noticed in these columns. Only last week, this writer vlaited a certain school with an enrollment of thirty pu pils, and only four attendants, three of whom were children of the teach- Tbls Indifference about tending child ren to school 1b altogether among white parents, all the colored schools have a large atteadanoe and are- kept open regu larly. Several have been noticed by the . wit ter In his travels, which were kept open on Saturdays the same ' as other days. The negro is taking full advantage of his educational . opportunities. Know ing that education; meant citizenship for him, while the white' man seems to be growing more Indifferent about the mat ter all the time. If the white parents don't take more Interest In tending their children to school a compulsory educational law will become a necessity, or the percent age of Illiteracy among the whites will greatly exceed that of the negroes, which will be quite an unhappy condi tion of affairs for somebody.
