LAST HOURS of WASHINGTON

’ INTIMATE FACTS DISCLOSED BY \ DIARY KEPT BY \ TOBIAS LEAR, / \SECRETARY / OF THE L

“■ COMPLETE account of the last days of G eorge WashTaSJn iiigum.- first president of the United Ntates, was writa j ten by Tobias Lear, who BK J was his private secretary and intimate companion for many years. This account, which was the only on<> written, has been preserved, and as it has been garbled and distorted in the biographies of Washington it is herewith presented as a matter of historical reference. For the of. Lr.u-fness, -hmveyer.- mln+>r d entails will be summarized. Mr. Lear I dates his account “Mount Vernon, Saturday, December 14, 1799,” and he wrote its follows: “This day has been marked_bx—an_ event which will be memorable in the history of America, and perhaps of the -world; —I shall give a particular state-' ment of it, to which 1 was an eyewitness. “On Thursday. December 12, the general rode out to his farm about ten -o’clock and didhoTATt urii "home until past three. Soon after he went . ont - the weather been me very bad—ra In. hail and snow falling alternately, with a eold wind. When fie came in I carried some letters to him to frank, intending: to send them to the post office In the evening. He franked the letters, but said the weather was too bad to send a servant to the office. I observed to him that I was afraid he had got wet. He said no ; his greatcoat . had kept him dry. But his neck appeared to be wet and the snow was hanging upon his hair. He etjine to dinner (which had been waiting for him) without changing his dress. In the evening he .appeared as well as usual. “Friday, Decern her 1 13, 1799. A heavy fall of snow took place on Friday, which prevented the general from rid- ‘ Ing out as usual, tie iiatFraken cold,; undoubtedly, from being so much exposed the day before, and complained of a sore throat. He, however, went out in the as t ernoon in t o tile ground between the house and river to mark some trees which were to be cut down for the improvement Of the spot. He had a hoarseness.

As soon as the day appeared the woman (Caroline)went Into : the room to make a fire, and Mps. Washington sent her immediately to call me. I got up. put on my clothes as quickly as possible and went to his chamber. Mrs. Washington was then up. and related to me his being ill. as before stated. I .found the general breathing with difficulty, and hardly able to utter a Word intelligibly. He desired Mr. Ra w lins (one of the overseers) might be sent for to bleed him before the doctor could arrive. I dispatched a servant immediately for Rawlins and another for Doctor Craik, and returned again to the general's elinnifier.“A mixture of molasses, vinegar and butter was ,prepared to try its effects on the throat, but he could_ndt-JCTcal— Tow a drop.

Doctor Craik came in soon after and put a blister of cantharides on the throaty.took.some more blood from him and had a, gargle of vinegar and sage tea prepared, and ordered some "vinegar and hot water for him to inhale the steam of it, which he did, but in attempting to use the '-gargl tTlie'vv as. alni os t _ s u fto ca t ed. W hen the gargle came from the thrbat some phlegm followed, and he attempted to cough, which the dpcior"encouraged' him to.do as much as possible, but he could only attempt it. ••11 ;1 . 1IL _. I Craik requested that Doctor Dick be sent for, as lie feared Doctor Brown would not come in time. A messenger was accordingly dispatched for him. About this time tlie general was hied again. No effect, however, was produced by it and he remained in the same state, unable to swa 11 ovv anything. “3 p. m.—Doctor Dick arrived about three o’clock, and Doctor Brown arrived soon after. Upon Doctor Dick seeing the general, and consulting a few minutes with Doctor Craik, he was bled again. The blood came very slow, was Thick, and did not produce any symptoms of fainting. Doctor Brown came into the chamber soon after, and* upon feeling the general’s pulse the nhvsirians Doctor Craik returned soon after. The general could now swallow a little. Calomel and tartar Trnetlc“were - ad-’ ministered, but without effect. “4 p. m.—About four o’clock he desired me to—call Mrs. Washington to his bedside.- he requested her to go down into his room and take from his desk two wills which she would find there and bring them tp him, which she did. Upon looking at tfiem. he gave her one. which he observed was useless, as being superseded by the other, and desired her to burn it, which she did, and took the other and put in Into her closet. Knew End Was at Hand. “After this was done I returned to his bedside and took his hand. He said to me, ‘I find I am going.

bedside the general said to him, ‘Doctor. I die hard, but l am not afraid to go; I believed from my first attack that I should not survive it. My breath cannot last long.’ The doctor pressed his hand, but could not utter a word. He retired from the bedside and sat by the tire absorbed in grief. “6 p. m.—Doctor Dick and Doctor Brown came into rtre~TUOiu, and with Doctor Craik went to his bed, when Doctor I’raik asked him if he could sit up in bed. He held out his hand, and I raised him up. He then said to the physician. ‘I feel myself going. I thank you for your attentions, but I pray you take no more trouble about me. L e t me go off quietly. I cannot lafet long.’ They found That mtt^which had been done was without effect. He lay dovvn again, and all retired, except Doctor Craik: Physicians Abandon Hope. “S p. m. —About eight o’clock the physicians tame again into the room and applied ..blisters and cataplasms of wheat bran to his legs and feet, after which they went out, except DoctoF'Craik, without a ray of hope. “10 p. m.—About ten o’clock "fie' made several attempts to speak to me before he could effect it. At length he said, ‘I am just going. Have me decently buried, and do not let my body into the vault in less than three days after I am dead.’ I bowed assent, for I could not speak. He then looked at me again and said, ‘Do you understand me?’ I replied, ‘Yes.’ ‘ ’Tis well,’ he said. “About ten minutes before he expired (which was between ten and eleven o’clock) his -breathing- became easier. He lay quietly; he withdrew his hand from mine and felt his own pulse. I saw his countenance change. I spoke to Doctor Craik, who sat by the fire. He came to the bedside. The general’s hand fell from his ’wrist. I took it in mine and pressed it to my bosom. Doctor Craik put his hands over his eyes and he expired without a,struggle or a sigh. “While we were fixed m silent grief, was sitting at the foot of the bed, asked with a firm and collected! voice:.‘ls he gone?’ I. could not speak, but held up my hand as a signal that he was no more ‘ ’Tis vvell,’ she said in the same voice. ‘All is over now? I shali soon follow him, I have no more trials to pass through.’ “At the time of his decease Doctor Craik and myself were in the situation above mentioned. Mrs. Washington was sitting near the foot of the bed. Christopher was standing near the bedside. Caroline, Molly and Charlotte (servants) were in the room, standing near the door.”

At the time of Washington’s death congress was in session in Philadelphia. When the news was received both houses immediately adjourned. A joint committee of the two houses was appointed, which reported resolutions recommending that a marble monument should be erected to commemorate the great events in the military and political life of Washington ; that an oration suited to the occasion should be pronounced in the presence of both houses of congress; that the people of the United should wear crepe 011 the. lef t arm _3Q-days as a badge of mourning, and that the president, in the name of congress, should be requested to write a letter of condolence to Mrs. Washington. From that time the American people ha velibnofedlfie - fisher of the!r country on his birthday to demonstrate by speech and act their appreciation of his virtues and to reaffirm the eternal principles of liberty and democracy, of which he was the foremost champion.

THE KINSHIP OF THE hewhican: Aims and Ideals of the United States and Canada Will Soon Be Signed. The war is over, peace win soon be signed, the fightihg nations have sheathed their swords, and the day of Feconstruction_has come. What of it ! Hundreds of thousands of men. taken from the fields of husbandry, from the ranks of labor, from the four walls of the counting nouse, and“fhT•confines of the workshop, taken from them to do their part, their large part. In the prevention of the spoliation of the world, and in the meantime removed from the gear of common everyday life, will be returned, only to find in many cases old positions filled, the machinery with -which they were formerly attached dlslo&ited. Are they to become aimless wanderers, with the ultimate possibillty r of augmenting an army of menacing loafers? Iftheydoitittsbecau.se their ability to assist in laying new foundations, in building up much required structures, is underestimted. Men who have fought as they have fought, who have risked and faced dangers as they have, are not of the caliber likely to flinch when It comes to the restoration of what the enemy partially destroyed, when it comes to the reconstruction of the world the ideals of which they had in view when they took part in the great struggle whose Divine purpose was to bring about this reconstruction.

Inured to toil, thoughtles of fatigue, trained in initiative and hardened by their outdoor existence they will return better and stronger men. boys will have matured and young men will have developed. They will decide of themselves lines of action and thought, and what their future should and will be. On the field of battle they developed alertness and wisdom, and they will return with both shedding from every pore. Action was their by-wdrd and,it will stand them in good stead now that the din of the battle no longer rings in their, ears, or the zero hour signals them to the fray, and it will continue during their entire existence. But if they return to find their old avocation gone, their places filled, the Institutions with which they were connected no longer exist, new walks of life and employment must be opened to them. It may be that the counting house, the factory, the workshop will have lost their attraction. The returned soldier will look elsewhere for employment; within his reach there is always the “Forward-to-the-Land” necessity. In this lies the remedy that will not only take care of a multitude of those who-may not be able to return to their former occupations, whose desires are not to do so,* whose health prohibits them from indoor life or whose outdoor habits from the past one, two, three or four years have given them such a taste and desire for it that confinement would be unbearable. Farm life will thus appeal to them, and the indications are that it will be taken advantage of by thousands. It means much to them ns well as to the Continent of America that provides the opportunity to the world at large, and to the stricken and famished nations of Europe, who, not only today, but for years so come, will require the sustenance that c®n~wnty“ largely be supplied by the United States and Canada. By following the pursuit of -agriculture the returned

soldier will continue the cause he so i greatly advanced when fighting on the field of battle. Both countries have undeveloped areas yet open to settlement. There is little need here to direct attention to the wealth that has come to the farmers of Canada within the past few years. It is not only in grain growing that unqualified and almost unequaled success -has followed honest effort, but the raising of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs has been large source of profit. These are facts that are well known to the many friends and acq.uaintances_of.th®. thousands of farmers from the United States who have acquired wealth on the prairies of Western Canada. Farms of from one hundred and sixty to six hundred and forty»acres of the richest soil may he secured on reasonable terms, and with an excellent climate, with a school system equal to any in the world, and desirable social conditions, little else could be asked. Ctrnndian statesmen are today busily engaged phtnnirtg for the future of the returned soldier with a view to making him independent of state help after the immediate J necessary assistance has been granted, the main idea being to show in tl/e fullest degree the country's appreciation of the services he has rendered, But. now that the war is ended, and the fact apparent that of al) avocntmns the most profitable and indepemfent is that of the farmer, there will be a , strong desire to secure farm lands for cultivation. Canada offers the opportunity to those seeking, not as speculation but as production. The deepest interest is taken by Federal And Provincial authorities to further the welfare of the farmer and secure n maximum return for his efforts. Large sums of money are spent in educational and experimental work. in Experimental .arid Demonstration farms. nnA in the ajodcultural colleges? are men of the highest technical knowledge and practical experience, some Ing professors of international reputation. The resiltt of experiments and

.tests are free and available to nil. Ed- i ucational opportunities for fa rmers are the concern of the Government and appreciation is showy by the number of farmers who attend the free course*. Agriculture in Canada has reached a high standard, notwithstanding which lands are low in price. * Thus upon the United States and Canada for mpny years will rest the great burden of feeding the worldL -With free interchange of travel. ditticulties of crossing and vectoring removed. Canada may look for a speedy resumption of the large~fhflux of settlers from the United States which prevailed previous so the war. During the war period there was a dread of something, no one seemed to know what: if the American went to Canada he might be conscripted, put in prison, or in his attempt to cross the border he would meet with innumerable difficulties, most of which, of course, was untrue. These untruths were circulated for a purpose by an element, which, it was discovered, had an interest in fomenting and creating trouble and dis•trust between two peoples whose language and aims in life should be anything but of an unfriendly character. , The draft law-of; the United States high purposes had in view by the United States kept many from going to Canada during the period of the war. The citizen army of the United States was quickly mobilized, and contained a large percentage of the young men from the farms. In this way many were prevented from going to Canada. That is all over now. There are no real or imaginary restrictions; there is no draft law to interfere. On the contrary there is an unfathomable depth of good feeling, and the long existing friendship is stronger than ever. This has been brought about by the knowledge of what has been done in the recent great struggle, each vying with the other in giving credit for what was accomplished. In thought and feeling, in language, in alms-4n-ltfft-4n work,in desire to build up a new world, there has been bred a kinship which is as indissoluble as time itself. —Advertisement.
