Bawson City, aided by some of the most Conservative and successful (inan-

mining and trading in the Yulton gold lit-Ids.

To this Company he has'transferred placer claims on Hunker and

Gold Bottom Creeks, the “Marguerite” Quartz-Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.

. The Company also owns the S. S. “.Morgan City ” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,

for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured.

The U. S. Government

feports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber-

FAMOUS LEES OF OLDEN' we .

“*—

Ihe First of the Family to Come to
, America. a

When Longfellow wrote “a thing
for flouts and spears and jeers is an
American aristocracy" he could not.
have meant it in a literal sense. There
are many families in the United States
who can show as illustrious a descent.
and whose achievements in peace or
war would favorably compare with the
renowned families of older nations
were our institutions strained in order
to nurture titles or kindred personal
distinctions. Nor could the poet
have intended that it .was a bad or un-
becoming thing to have come of good
stock, or to have had famous forefath-
ers. As we hope that our own deeds
shallbe sweet and inspiring in other

' ages, so we are all in duty bound to

revere the memories of those who have
gone. before us.‘ Burke who uttered
so many wise aphorisms has truly said

on this subject: “he will never look for- _

ward to posterity who never looks
backward to his ancestors; and their

deeds whether good or evil can'never

be a matter of indifference in the life
ofa'nation.” .. . -
And amongst those’ prominent fam-

ilies who have enriched the history of
the United States, and whose records

can never be a subject of indifference
to our people is that of the Lees of

Virginia. The family of Lee is prob-,

ably among the most distinguished in
martial deeds as well as in. point of

mere}. uneventful pedigrees, however
long‘ffiescefided may be ..the line or
numerous lthe .quarterlngs, let us see
how’sth'e. Lees-70f Virginia measure up
in thislmportant respect: . '

His-son, Major Richard Lee. was sent
to Oxford University, and when he re-
turned was appointed Naval Officer for
the Potomac River being succeeded in
that-ticapacity by his son. ‘ ’He‘ was
spoken of by the English Governor as
a. “loyal discreet person and a gentle-
man of as fair character as any in the

'icountry‘,” the Succession of the son

being a mark ofesteem for the father.
Thigjgon, (Thomas, ~ accordingly be-

came president of the. King’s Council-

and 'Commander-in-Chief of the Col.
any and played a. rather important
part in the early. annals of Virginia.

He negotiated a treaty with the “Six

Nations" or Indians which so advanced
the King’s interests that the Queen
Caroline sent him a present of $30,000
on the occasion of the burning of the
family mansion at Stratford. This
was a mark of uncommon esteem, and
when Sir William Gooch, the Governor
of Virginia, died, he was appointed the

~ . first American Governor of his native

state. He left six sons, whom John
Adams alluded to as “that band of
brothers, intrepid and unchangeable."

They were the neighbors and the
earliest.advisers of Washington whose
home was only one mile, distant. When
the famous Westmoreland declaration
against the Stamp Act was drawn up
the official connections of the'Lee fam-
ily was severed with England. Four
of these six brothers signed their
names to the Westmoreland declara-
tion and two, Richard Henry Lee and

Francis Lightfoot Lee, also signed the .
Indeed '

Declaration of Independence.
this Richard Henry Lee has a most in-
timate connection with the Revolution.-
Like others of his family he was sent
to school to England and was so pain-
fully reminded by the sons of England
aristocrats of the inferiority of the col-
onists to themselves that he returned
from England a pronounced Republi-
can and henceforth resolved to make
his country free. It was he who drew
up in the Continental Congress the
famous stirring resolution “that these
united colonies are and of right ought
to be free andindependent states, that
all political connection between them
and Great‘ Britain is and ought to be
totally absolved." one of his sons

. was Washington’s Attorney General

and the other Was the famous dashing
“Light Horse Hnrry’l Lee... He raised
the independent corps of light cavalry
which-he commanded and which under
the name of ‘fLee.’_s Legion” became
proverbialjfor the dash andbravery of

, its men. in the Revolutionary War. In

1779 at the head o’f..,‘tl‘1jree hundred men
he captured the British fort at Jersey
City taking one hundred and sixty
prisoners for which CongreSs also pub-
licly thanked” him, and also presented
him with a medal and a commission
in the army. ' ' ' -

“Lighth—Iorse Harry" was renowned
in .war but it may not» be generally

known that he was no less renowned in'

peaCe and was the author of the phrase
used by Washington; “First in war,

 

And as illustrious public»
services will always rate higher than

 

. first in peace and first in the hearts of-

his countrymen," which occurs in‘the
resolution he moved in Congress in
1799 when Washington died. Colonel
Lee married his cousin Matilda Lee'
and succeeded to the family seat at
Stratford, where, in 1807, General Rob-
ert Lee was born.

Another brother of “Light Horse
Harry’s" had. been sent to school at
Eton. He wrote an anonymous ap-
peal to the English nation to deal just-
ly and? intelligently by the American

Colonies and though the authorship-

was never suspected by his fellow stu-
dents at the famous English school,
the document was so able ,8. presen-
tation of the American case that it
was said to be the production of Lord
Chatham or of Edmund Burke,_ both
of whom were staunch ,friends of
America, when to be a. friend of the
Colonies meant ostraclsm from the
drawing rooms of’London. '

The latest member ofthls prominent
American family, and beside whose.
virtues and historic achievements
those of a Howard or of a. Prince of

Conde or if a. Flatten of Germany 3

would be honored by a comparison, is

General Fitzhugh Lee, who has just

been voted the thanks of a. Congress
for patriotic services to his country at
Havana. - .

,THE NAMING OF AMERICA.

A Short Sketch or the Man From Whom ‘

America. Was Named.

The" celebration of the four hun-
dredth anniversary of the naming of
Americawill probably bring once more
into 'noti‘cethe claims of Columbus and
of Amerlgo Vespucci to the honor of
discovery. At the time of the Colum-
bian Exposition the controversy as to
whether Columbus or Amerlgo Ves<
puccl was the original navigator raged
in several learned geographical sode-
ties in EurOpe, while these rival claims
of both were disputed in toto by the

'partisai‘is of a. third claimant, and a

still earlier voyager named St. Bren-
dan- As between the friends of Co-

llumbus and of Vespuccl honors appear

to be even. The former is embalmed
in history as the real voyager, pwhlle
those of the latter claim that his name
‘Is associated for all time with his
deeds in the very name of the country
itself. The fortune of the name at
America is not a little singular as an
instance of the fitness and the poWer
of a name notwithstanding what the
poet instituted to the contrary.

The name of “American” has too be.
come the symbol of an originality and
prowess to which not even the majestic
word .“Roman” could aspire in its
grandest and most triumphant period.
Great oaks from little acorns grew,
and it is worth knowing that the name
Amerigo was first borne by a. poor
Italian whom his biographer-s dignity

by coupling his birth with the era of .

Lorenzo - the Magnificent; that this
name was afterwards given to a. single
province of the "New World, next
spread over the whole southern conti-
nent.:rthelii.'plaésed to the Northern,
later on became the distinguishing ap.
pellation of the whole vast continent
and so grew and expanded until the
word “Arrierlcan’r’has come to be uni:
versallyj‘accepted as,tlie antithesis oi
everything that related to the tradi-
tions of the crowns and courts and
chain of circumstances! .

Amerlgo Vespucci was born-at. Flor-4 -

ence, March 9,‘ 1451, "and . in youth was a
studious young man, workingoiit‘pr'ob:
lems of a philosophical character. He
therefore can? attracted attention
events-pm princes and nobles, and at
the “age of 40 years was induced to
settle in Seville. '

In~his capacity as an omcer of the
city, Vespuccl had to draw up a state-
ment of the expeditions of Columbus
and was requested by the King of Pot—
tugal to set _out and discover a route

.to the “land of spices" as India was

then' called, further south than Brazil.
In his{ letter to Lorenzo de Medici and
to the Duke of Lorraine he gave an ac-
count of these voyages and of the con‘
'dltlon of the Western World in one 91
which‘itwas said that the torrid zone
is habitable and inhabited.

The first city of the new world, be
there also tells us consisted of forty—
four bell shaped-houses and wasbuill
on piles in the middle of a lake, the
dwellings being connected together
by _drawbrldges. Some 'of the inhabi-

_ tan‘ts approached the galleons of—Vesv

pudcl in canoes formed from the 1101
low trunk ofa tree and after gazing at
Vespuccl and his sailors. the, nativei.
paddled back'to their insulated cit!
with great precipitation. They 50°11 1:9‘
turned," however, bringing with then
sixteen young w0men. and showed .3
disposition to get aboard the ships. a
fact which incur. fin-de-slecle way .Ol'
locking at matters, would indicate that

those- on the mainland had met sailors”
before. or had- " at least understood"

their habits. Vespuccl then sailed eighty ' ' p. _
' ' ' ' carriers varies from a. couple of Shill-~ ~.

leagues farther along the Coast, land‘

'lng occasionally, and at last entering

a sheltered haven, where he was r'e-'
ceived with hospitality and he and his
crew spent nine’ days all having in the

France they are made in the shape
of very'long rolls, five feet, and-in

Protecting Expensive Tables.

which” fits over them perfectly. This
protects not only the finish of the table
itself, but as it can be lifted off, often.
the exquisitely embroidered drawn-
work mats and 'dollies are placed be-
tween the glass and the top. In this
way they show:through and'are yet
protected. The ”plan. however, is
scarcely an artistic one. The glass top
is not a bad idea in itself, but the plasa
terlng of doilies beneath seems unsuit-
The same objection applies to,
the elaborately ornamented dressing-
table utensils. It' is a common thing
to have these tables set out‘so elabor-
ately that a second set of everything
