TO HONOR HIS MEMORY.
Indiana Will Mark the Grave of
Governor jennings.
Remarkable Character OF the First Chief
Executive of the Hoosier State-His
Fight Against Siavery-Ruined
by Drink.

The late session of the Indiana legis-
lature made an appropriation of $500
for the purpose of erecting a monu-
ment at the grave of Jonathan Jcn-
nings, the first governor of Indiana,
and the citizens of Charlestown and
Clark county have swelled the original
amount appropriated by private sub
scription until the monument fund has
reached a respectable figure.
Jonathan Jennings was one of the
remarkable men of Indiana. He was
born in New Jersey in 1884, removed to
Pennsylvania. and while young came
down the Ohio river III tiatboat and
settled at Jeffersonville, where he
commenced the practice of law. Soon
after he was made clerk of the terrific
rial Legislature. He was elected the
first territorial delegate to congress in
1909. Although a democrat young Jen-
nings was bitterly opposed to the ex-
tension of slavery, and through his
efforts more than those of any other
man Indiana was admitted to the union
as free state in 1916. At the first
constitutional convention held in Cory
den in 1916 Jonathan jennings was
elected president of the convention
and after the adjournment he an
nounced himself a candidate for gov
ernor of the new state. Atthe August
election of 1916 he defeated Thomas
Posey, the then territorial governor,
receiving 5,ol1 votes, his Jennings
opponent 1884 votes.
Two years later Gov. jennings was
appointed by President Monroe com
missioner to negotiate a treaty with
the Indians, and after bitter legal
contest he held the office of governor
as we'll as commissioner. He was re-
elected governor in 1920 and resigned
the governorship in 1922, having beer
elected to congress. He served four
terms in the lower house of congress
and was defeated for fifth term by
Gen. John Carr. On retiring from con-
gress Mr. Jennings removed to his farm
near Charlestown. The ex-governor's

Paris Women Determine to "Regenerate'

The ladies of Paris are about to

writer in the New York Tribune De-
feated in their attempts to obtain seats
in the legislature, in the academy. and
in the municipal councils. they have
determined to resort to freemasonry,
their object being. so they announced,
to degenerate" this secular institu-
ton, to endow it with more life" and
fraternity" and above all to drive all
politicians out of the temple The
organizers of this project have already
obtained the consent of the govern
ment. and an executive committee of
eight has been appointed, with Nine
Marie Deraismes as the first grand mis-
tress or venerable of the lodge. which
already includes over one hundred
members. 1t is stated that the lat'ies
are assisted in the work Of organiza-
ton by three brothers of the craft
The ladies announce that they do not
intend to follow the examples of the
male lodges with respect to mysteries
and theatrical ceremonies, and intend
to remain content with the trimestrial
and annual passwords. 1t is scarcely
necessary to add that they are devoting
much attention TO the insignia, and
while the apprentices and ordinary
mistress masonS are to wear aprons
similar to those of their bret thren, the
dignitaries will don garments of vari-
Gus colors, representing the sun, the
temple. the instruments of masonry
and other emblems. The object of the
scheme is asserted to be purely philan-
thropic.
