NAVY and Army Disagree.

Representatives Of the Army and Navy
Athletic associations met in conference at
Philadelphia Saturday to discuss future
athletic contests between the two institu-
lions. No agreement was reached and the
conference was adjourned without date
for another meeting being decided upon. 1t
was expected that definite action would be
taken on eligibility rules. the arrangements
for this years foot ball game and the Ques-
ton of tickets and ticket scalping.
The navy representatives presented new
set of rules which barred all players who
had competed for four years at some other
Institution prior to their admission to West
Point or Annapolis. The army opposed this
rule and insisted that future games be
played under the same conditions as here
tofore existed. No decision was reached.

whether arrangements had been completed
at the conference between National and
American League officers in New York SO
that it would be possible for the two Cleve-

PHILADELPHIA with Cleveland this year.
These men will play with Cleveland at

A Dog That Rule. a King.

Dignity, pomp and etiquette are par
ticularly strong points with Edward
VII, says London correspondent of
the Boston Herald, and woe betide any
light-minded subject who overlooks
the smallest detail of dress or deport-
ment in the royal presence-that is,
woe betide all such subjects save one.
The exception is Jack, a stray Irish
terrier, who strolled into Marlborough
house not long ago, adopted the king
without leave or ceremony, took
charge of his majesty forthwith, and
has helped to run the empire ever
since. 1T can be said without eNagger-
alton that no one item of the business
of the king of England gets so much
attention daily as the care of Jack. His
food and exercise are personally SUI
perviscd by his royal comradc, and the
general question of his health and con-
duct are matter of personal concern
to the king.

CHARMING OLD LADY.
Mrs. Matilda Fountleroy, Head of
an Ancient Family.
She Is Dnushter-in-Law of Elizabeth
FOuntlerOy, who Refused to
Marry Washington-Re sides
i'll Paducnh, Ky.

Mrs. Matilda Fountleroy, who re-
sides in Paducah, Ky, enjoys the
unique distinction of being the daugh-
ter-in-law of Elizabeth Fountleroy, of
Virginia, with whom George Washing
ton was once in love.
In preference to the illustrious Fa-
Their of his Country Mrs. Fountleroy
married her own cousin, Joseph Foun-
tleroy, in Frederick county, Va. She
had nine children and Mrs. Fountle-
roy, of Paducah, is the widow of one
of her youngest sons. Butler Fountle-
roy, who died many years ago. Mrs.
Fountleroy is 81 years of age, and was
p years younger than her husband.
She is a bright, attractive lady, and
takes vivid interest in all things.
The incident of Washington having
paid court to her mother-in-law she
remembers quite we'll as a cherished
tradition in the Fountleroy family.
The incident is mentioned in history
of the family. In the history cop
les of letters written by Washington
suing for the fair lady's hand are re-
corded. In one OF these the lover
pleads that Elizabeth will alter her
decision and return his love.
Many of these ardent epistles from
Washington to Elizabeth We're pub
lished in newspaper article several
years ago. In some of them the dis
tinguished man descends to inditing
some poetry to his lady love. A novel
of colonial times, abiding to this
love affair, has for one of it's charac-
ters sprightly young woman, who
remarks when she saw Washington in
a riding suit, equipped for the chase,
that she does not blame Elizabeth
Fountleroy for refusing to marry
Washington, since he is not half SO
good-looking as her father. Judging

from pictures of the great general at
that time, however, the young wom-
an must have been very fastidious.
This was some time after Washing
toms marriage to the Widow GUSTS.
Mrs. Fountleroy never saw her hus
bands mother, but says she has heard
him speak of her as a very beautiful
woman. She had blue eyes and black
hair, an unusual type, which is always,
particularly pleasing. She lived all of
her life in Frederick county, Va, when
she was married, and when Washing
ton knew her. Her sons, however,
came west as civilization advanced.
Butler Fountleroy settled in Mont
gomery county, Tenn, ere he met and
married pretty Matilda Bowman,
daughter of John Bowman, who was
a revolutionary soldier. His bride was
II and he was 3S. "He asked me-"
said the wife, who had survived him
for nearly a quarter of a century, eff
i did not think that he was too old for
me, and ! told him." blush stealing
into her withered cheek as she recalls
her courtship, chat did not think it
made any difference" and she added:
I'VE were very happy"
Mrs. Fountleroy's family were Vir-
ginians, but she was born in Kentucky.
Her early life, however, was spent in
Virginia. "My father married my
mother in Virginia" said Mrs. Fount-
leroy. "They were both natives of
Frederick county, as my husbands
people were. They moved to Kentucky
and settled near Louisville. An old
cr sister and j were born there. My
mother died when my sister and / were
quite small, and our father carried us
both to our grandmothers in Nir
ginia. L was given TO my mothers
mother, and my sister to my fathers
mother. We used to have many a
childish quarrel as 10 whose grand
mother was the incest, ignoring the
fact that each was equally related
to both of us. My mothers father,
Jarcs Williams, was congressman
for long while, and spent most of his
time in Washington. When / was ten
years old and my sister was slightly
older, my father married again, and
took us to live in Lexington, Ky. Later
we moved to Montgomery county,
Tenn, where ] met my husband. We
came TO Paducah some years after we
were married.
Mrs. Fountleroy, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, has three children,
two daughters and one son. She makes
her home with her Oldest daughter,
Mrs. j. Henry Smith, of Paducah. She
is just 10 years younger than her
mother, and laughingly says that they

article upon Turkey and her future;
or, more correctly, upon the Turks

their present state and future aspira-
tons. With the Macedonian problem,
which is the nominal subject of his ar

main points being that none of the
Macedonian races is fit to dominate the
country, and that the true Macedoni-
ans are the Moslems. He ridicules the
idea of degenerate Greece founeinga

DIR. L0RENz's VISIT.
It Has Excited Widespread Interest
Ameng Medical Men.
Originator of so-Cnlled DloodIcss
Operation for Congenitnl DisIoca-
ton of Hip Cordially Received
By Our own Surgeons.

That the visit of DR.. Adolf Lorenz,
the eminent Niennese surgeon, to this
country should excite such widespread
interest is an event of much moment
for science, probably of greater mo-
ment than the fact of the visit itself
OF course the interest was stimulated
at the outset by the fact that Prof.
Lorenz came in order to perform the
'so-called 'bloodless operation" de-
vised by himself, to correct the deform-
lty OF the child of one of our millions
aires. 1t is also, as the Indepen-
dent remarks editorially, partly
due to the fact that the presence of the
distinguished foreign surgical visitor
has been taken advantage of to secure
the extension of the benefits of his
operation to some of the poorer
classes in our large cities who happen
to be suffering from the same deform-
ity"-congenital dislocation of the
hip. There is no doubt, however, the
writer thinks, that the attention awak-
ened can be attributed also to the fact
that deformity appeals to universal
sympathy, and that during the last
generation or two a larger humani-
tartan spirit has developed. The writer
goes on to say:
"Prof. Lorenz does not come to
teach our American orthopedic sur
geons-our specialists in the treat
ment of deformed Notwithstanding
they did not know before. Lorenz's
operation has been practiced in this
country for almost if not quite dec
ade of years; and some of the best re-
suits attained by the use of the meth
cd invented by the Vienna professor
have been reported from America.
His treatment is in line with that re-
turn to the principle of taking advan-
tage of natures own auxiliary efforts

Isparacher, the noted chief of the
Creek Indians, who has just passed
away in Okmulgee, Indian territory,
at the age of 90, was probably the most
remarkable full-blooded Indian of re-

Creek nation in Alabama and went
westward with his tribe. He fought
in the union army and was member
of the Indian home guards. After the
war he served as judge of the Creek
nation. Overthrow in 1888 by Cheko-

About Emu de CoInrnc.

How many of those who use eau de
cologne from Cologne daily, one might
almost say hourly, are aware of the
fact that it was invented by am Italian
and not by a son of the fatherland
which gives it a name? asks the Pail
Mall Gazette. Almost 200 years ago an
Italian priest, Gioyan Maria Farina,
whose name is seen on every authentic
bottle, eked out his modest fortune by
selling perfumery, little art objects,
and so on, at Domodossola. In 1902,
happening to be Cologne and making
use of some of the finest vegetable pro-
auctions of the country, he discovered
the secret OK tie miraculous perfume,
which has acver been revealed to this
day, except to his descendant.
