STORY OF a VIRGINIA MAID.
Mary Ball, Weshington's Mother. as

Nurse Won "A HosEaad
(FTOm the woman'S Home Companlon.)
Mary Ball. who sfterwaTd bccame the
mother OF Washington. was born early in
the eighteenth century. her parents having
emigrated to this country from England
only a few years previously. Her gil. hood
was not materially different from that Of
the average pioneer child In the wilderness
and spinning and the other arts which she
learned were such as were acquired also by
her playmates. The marriage of Miss Ball
to Augustine Washington attracted not a
little attention in the country side for two
ressors-the age of the bride and the fact
that the groom was widowsr. In those
DAYS marriages were usually contracted
when the girls were mere children and a
bride of twenty -four was naturally locke
upon as an exception TO custom. The en-
gagement of Mary and Augustine was of
short duration, and the spring wedding
which followed Was one Of the vents of
the year in Virginia social life. There
was no bridal tour. but instead the young
couple journsyed to the estate OF the bride
groom. which enjoyed the distinction OF
being the largest plantation in Westmore-
land county.
It is only fair. OF course. to presume that
the bride was beautiful. but we have also
the authority for X OF an old letter, tie

NICARAGUA cEDrs RIGHTS.
The Way Is Now Clear for Congressional Ac'
tiOn On Either Canal Route.

Washington Especially. - Secretary
Hay for the Government of the United
States, and Senor Corea, the Nicara-
guam Minister, for his own govern
ment, signed a treaty whereby the lat
ter government comedies to the Gov
ernment of the United States the
necessary rights and privileges within
her bestowal for the construction of
the Nicaraguan Canal.
This action is taken in anticipation
of Congressional action upon the
pending Nicaraguan Canal bill and
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Pending
the submission of the document to
the Senate, which body must ratify
the agreement, its terms will not be
made public. 1t is understood, how
ever that generally Nicaragua grants
to the United States Government the
exclusive right to construct and oper-
ate the canal between the Atlantic
and Pacific, across Nicaragua, inclu-
ding the free use of the San Juan
River, and of Lake Managua, as part
of the water course. Nicaragua is also
to rid herself of any outstanding
treaties that would tend in any way
to abridge the privileges to be acquir-
ed by the United States.
1t is understood also that Nicaragua
comedies to the United States full au-
thority to police the canal. Nicaragua
is to receive in compensation q GER
tain amount of the securities Of the
canal construction company, and al
though 1t is not possible now to learn
the figure set down in the treaty, it is
believed to approximate S5,000,000.
