I® ® &>irt(idays ..a. gCx VpJ’tM r* / ” "*' Z—>EORGE WASHINGTON never I y occupied the White House. His executive mansions were temporary. and shifted from New York to Philadelphia while the White House was still a dream, observes a writer in the New York Times. Only his name, plus that dream, which was bls, went to the city on the Potomac. But in the stress of the formative years he was remembered with widespread festivities at his first birthday after his inauguration. Indeed, the anniversary had been hailed even earlier, since the first President was a national hero long before he grasped the reins of government Ragged soldiers had piped him a pathetic birthday tune at Valley Forge

on tbe bitter February day that closed his fortysixth year. FellpwVirginians had trod a birthday measure at Richmond in 1781. Maryland and New York had toasted him when he was forty-nine and already in sight of success for his arms and for his country. Frenchmen who had served by bls side seized the opportunity of rejoicing convivially over tbe anniversary of

wi

his birth in 1784, when the hostilities and the British evacuation were both in the past. Young men who had been privileged to visit him in his famous campaign tent organised birthday honors fit for a hero; and in that first February of the new era, the celebrations first began to resemble real occasions. In Alexandria, the town nearest to the General’s stately mansion, the birthnight ball was inaugurated an annual affair. In Philadelphia patriots celebrated “with that hilarity and manly decorum ever attendant on the sons of freedom." In New York there met “a select club of Whigs,” and drank to Washington, and hailed him with song and sonnet and declamation. The date thus far widely honored was February IL Washington was born od February IL 1732, according to the British calendar usages then officially In vogue. Nineteen years later Britain adopted the Georgian In place of the Julian calendar. But the ancient dates often stuck, and it is not until 1790 that we find Washing- , ton’s birthday—his first as Presidentbeing celebrated on the twenty-second of February instead of the eleventh by the Tammany society of New York Tammany in 1790 was patriotic, anti-aristocratic, charitable and. ambitious. As yet it did not differentiate between President Washington, its adopted “Great Grand Sachem,** and the second of those characteristics. In this, the initial year of government under the new Constitution, New York strove to honor the Chief Executive and also to persuade the congress that bad come to reside in its midst that New York city was the logical choice for a permanent capital. Washington himself was busy In New York on that February 22. He was moving from the Franklin house, at the corner of Cherry and Pearl streets, to the McComb mansion on Broadway, near the newly rebuilt Trinity ehurch. His diary for the day reveals him as an active superintendent of the disposal of his furniture. Meanwhile in all 13 states, birthday balls had been held, not only by the cities with their higher social circles, but also in hamlets that could- only muster a barn flat a ballroom and a fiddle and flute for an orchestra. Soldiers bad paraded. Guns bad boomed, and church bells rung. Banners and armlets and headbands had blaxoned

WASHINGTON’S PRAYER WASHIXGTOM’S great prayer far the Catted States fellows! “Almighty God, we make oar earaeat prayer that Thoa wilt keep the Vetted States in Thy holy protection j that Thou wilt iaeline the hearts of the eltiseas to cultivate a spirit of suhordlnatloa and obedience to government, and entertain a brotherly affection and love so» one another and for their fellow eltisena of the Vnited States at large. And, ffaally. that Thoa wilt moat graciously he pleased to, dispose as all to do justice, to love mercy and to demean ourselves with that charity. hnmlllty and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble Imitation of whose example in these things we eaa never hope to he a happy nation. Grant our supplication. we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” forth the name and often the lineaments of Washington. In 1791, the Society of the Cincinnati held its first Washington’s birthday celebration in New York, having followed Tammany’s example by resolving to mark the date each year. The President and the congress (and also the capital of the United States), had meanwhile removed temporarily to Philadelphia. But even New York’s disappointment did not prevent Tammany from vying with the exclusive organization of Revolutionary officers to do honor to the day. Alas, the good feeling did not en-_ dure. By 1796, after John Jay had come back from England with hl* hated treaty, Tammany was fiercely for revolutionary France; Jefferson was its god; George Washington was actually being dubbed, in public, a proEngilah aristocrat; and those who celebrated his birthday were coldly accused of being (among other things) bootlickers, Idolators, Royalists and sycophants. The country-wide birthday honors of that year, though even more lavish and vociferous than usual, presented for the first time tbe ogre of party, grinning at the feast. By 1797, however, the Jay treaty was being regarded much more tol-

erantly, and certain French proceedings were being looked at a little askance. Those who refused to salute Washington on February 22. to honor a glorious record for it* own sake, and to tread a measure at the evening’s gala assemblies, now formed a rather conspicuous minority. George Washington became a private citizen in that year, and was with his Alexandria

neighbors at their birthnight ball of February 22, 179&an onlooker, though in hia younger days be had excelled in the minuet There was to be only one more birthday for a living Washington to adorn. He spent that one at home at Mount Vernon, presiding over a particularly Joyous occasion. His adopted daughter. hia pet. Nelly Custis, was being married to bis favorite nephew, Maj. Lawrence Lewis. The radiance went out of Mount Vernon in December of 1799 and the birthday festivities the country over were turned into mourning processions when 1800 brought the anniversary around once more. This February 22 was a universal requiem. The armlets and headbands with Washington’s picture were black where once they bad been gayly hued. Throughout the country business was suspended for 24 hours. Theaters, taverns, public halls, schoolrooms and college auditoriums, village greens and parks as well as churches were given over to exercises, meetings and processions expressive of the deepest grief. " ■ 1 ( Washington** Mother Mary Ball, mother of Washington, was the youngest daughter of Joseph Ball who appears to have been a well-to-do planter on the Rappahannock river. She was born about 1706. Little is known of her youth and early womanhood. She had flaxen or auburn hair and blue eyes. She was married in 1730 when "about twentyfour years old. She had six children and died when she was thirty-seven.

Africa Efforts are being made by farmers in the Outjo district of South West Africa to obtain some relief from the administration from a plague of elephants. Elephants, being “Royal game.” cannot be shot, and the Outjo farmer who sees his fences, windmills and reservoirs being destroyed by them has simply to look on. This, however, is not the only complaint, for now the elephants have taken to chasing the farmers off their own farms. On several recent occasions farmers. while Inspecting their properties, have been chased by elephant herds. Each time, however, the farmers have been lucky enough to be mounted and have managed to make good their escape, but they have become so annoyed that they are how petitioning to be allowed to shoot the raiders.—Montreal Herald.
