A QUESTION OF TEETH
Did the Immortal George Wear Ar.
tificiaI or Natural Onesf

George Washington's false teeth,
which We're supposed to have been
made of ivory. are giving certain
class of freak historians about as much
trouble as they must have given the
venerable patriot who wore tbem,"
said one of the professors of the
Smithsonian institution to reporter
recently
MANY times year for several years
this institution has been called upon to
produce these mysterious teeth for the
inspection of persons who insist that
they are here.
Our matter Of fact answer to these
Inquiries that Washington had no false
teeth, or at least if he did, that they
are not in the possession of the mu-
scum. seems only to stimulate the in
curing mind to protest our statement.
They proceed to give us authentic &C.
counts of these teeth and always con-
alude with expressing the belief that
they must be in the museum some
where
"Where or how the idea that Wash
lngton had false teeth originated is an
unsolved mystery. That 1t is firmly be-
lieved by many is certainly a fact.
There seems to be no authentic record
Of the Father of His Country possess
Ing ivory teeth, and by study Of the
bust we have of him. which was made
but few years before his death, there
Is no indication of an indentation along
the line of the gums such as can be
noticed in persons who have had their
teeth drawn, even though they wear
artificial ones. However, we will con-
tinue to answer the same question in
the same way probably many times in
the future"
According to some biographers
Washington lost his teeth during his
service as commander in chief of the
Continental army and had a set of
Ivory ones made. These teeth, it is
also stated gave him much trouble be-
cause they did not fit.-Washington

Death In Their Work.

Gilders, photographers and those who
handle the hydro and potassic cyanides
are liable to suffer from chronic poison
ing by hydrccyanic acid. They have
headache, giddiness, noises in the ear,
difficult respiration, pain over the
heart, loss Of appetite-in short, show
all the evidences of mild poisoning.
Zinc workers, too suffer. Zinc is used
as a pigment in calico printing. in dis
coloring glass, in polishing optical
glasses and in making artificial meer-
schaum pipes.
So men die in harness in these and
a hundred other occupations, killed by
the very air they breathe, and other
men step into their shoes. New York

sewers. Up to that time every effort to
levy special tax for sewers had failed.
When the women taxpayers were given a
vote, they took great interest in the
question, held many public and parlor meet
inss and cast a large vote. The election
went in favor Of better sanitat ton and ac-
cording to the newspapers of the city, ''the
women did IT. Miss Gordon was presi-
dent of the Women's Sewerage and Drain
age League of New Orleans She collected
proxies from 300 women taxpayers who
wanted better sewers, but were timid about
going to the polls, and she spent election
day In driving about and voting over and
over again in all rarts Of the city, as every
proxy vote had to be cast in the precinct
where the person giving the proxy lived.
The Business Mems Association Of New
Orleans gave Miss Gordon a medal for her
cxert1ons.
Henry B. Blackwell.
Henry B. Blackwell, one Of the pioneer
speakers. is a notable man in more than
one sense. He is not only the husband of
Lucy Stone, but from early manhood has
been an uncompromising worker in behalf
Of woman suffrage, and for thirty years
has been editor of the Woman's Journal
He married Lucy Stone in 1856 They were
obliged to send thirty miles for min
/ lister who would marry them without using
the word "obey''
At the time Of their marriage they issued
joint protest against the inequalities of
the law which gave the husband the con-
troll of his wffe's property. person and
children. He has spoken in nearly every
city in the United States. Their whole
married life was an ideal one in every re-
spect. Lucy Stone died In 1893, but her
husband has continued his work for woman
suffrage just the same. They have one
daughter. Alice Stone Blackwell, who has
been recording secretary for the National
Suffrage Association for many years.

A Leader in Blue Grass State.
Miss Laura Clay Of Kentucky, first au-
ditor Of the National Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION. is well known to the politicians
Of her state. Miss Clay, In fact, has a
mission which has taken her to the gen
eral assembly Of her state for every ses-
sion in the past twelve years, and it is
said that at every visit her influence has
been felt. In that period of time, It is de-
clared, she has revolutionized the position
OF women in Kentucky. She is firm be-
lever In woman suffrage. She is the presi-
dent and founder Of the Equal Rights As
scciation Of Kentucky, and, under her lead
ership. wonders have been accomplished.
She Is the daughter Of the famous General
Cassfus M. Clay Of Whithall, and seems
to possess much Of the pertinacity and Wig
or of intellect which is characteristic Of
the Clay family. From girlhood she has
been stanch supporter Of the idea that
commercially. legally and politically a wo-
man should d. be the equal OF man. 1t was
not until 1883, however, when the state as
soctatfon was organized at Lexington, that
she first began the serious battle for her
Ideas. She was made president Of that as
sociation, and has been reelected to the
position every year since that time.
Miss Clay is a farmer and dealer in
biooded stock. and is considered fine Judge
OF horses.
Convention Notes.
The flag decoration Of the convention hall
is very pretty and Is doubtless pleasing to
the, foreign guests. whose tastes have evi-
IDENTIFY been consulted. The flags were
loaned from the collection Of Miss Clara
Barton, and she received them from the
heads OF the governments they represent, q
gracious tribute In most cases from the
zeal In the interests Of suffering humanity.
Above the platform, high up on the wall, Is
great Red Cross dag. On one side OF
It hangs the double-headed bird OF Russia.
Surm0unted BY crown, and on the other
side ts the sin8le-headed bird that repre-
sents Germany. Beyond It hangs the union
Jack Of Great Britain. and then comes the
queer feathered creature that claims Aus
triar Hungary for rs home. Other Aaas are
those OF Switzerland, Denmark. Turkey ana
half dozen others. The proudest OF them
an, however. Is the starts and stripes, and
these are the coiors that drape the front
OF the platform and decorate the gallery.
Letters OF sympathy were ordered by the
convention to be sent to Mrs. IsabeIla
Beecher Hooker. Miss Anthony. Caroline
Miller, Sarah Clay Bennett and Mrs. HeIen
r. Jenkins, all prominent In the suffrage
WORK. Mrs. Hooker remains In CounAcfi-
