ferson, with other men, were work
ing for the freedom of the 13
colonies.
She was born in Frogtown, near
Valley Forge, five years before the
revolutionary war begun, and in
spite of her youth can remember
many events connected with those stir
ring times. She was bound out to
Reese Howell, a wealthy farmer living
at Valley Forge, when she was four
or five years of age. She is very proud
of the part she played in the war
While the soldiers were stationed in,
that neighborhood.
The horrors of that winter at VAL
ley Forge were so dreadful that they
were indelibly impressed on her child
ish mind. Indeed, she recalls how she
pilfered potatoes, nuts and apples and
saved from her own small store when
she was only seven years old in order
to help the poor, ragged soldiers who
encamped near the Howell farm.
Many time she trudged through
the snow to the encampment with the
small stores hidden in her apron under
her coat. But her master was as much
in sympathy with the sufferings of
the soldiers as his little maid servant,
and, discovering her desire TO help,
very often sent her to carry his gen.
erous contributions.

forget the cheers that greeted the
welcome sight of those OVERLOOKING
baskets, nor how the soldiers lifted
her down and carried her around
amid the almost crazy delight OF the
men.
1T was enough TO make your heart
sick" she exclaimed, ito see the poor
men in their rags and bare feet, cut
and bleeding from the cruel ice and
cold, go wild over those baskets of
food. They cried and laughed at once
and petted me till / was as proud as
a princess.
And / remember very well that
they took me into Gen. Washington
and he patted me on the head and
smiled. He was so grave and dignified
that l felt afraid at first, but after he
smiled and spoke to me / did not feel
at ali afraid.
81 guess our soldiers have never suf-
fered since as they did that winter,
and I never saw more patient and
hopeful men than those who made up
the continental army. I used to think
the American soldiers were the
bravest in the world, and / think so
still, though it has been nearly 1875
years since | was right among them.
"The rest of the time that they were
stationed in our neighborhood they
made me welcome to their headquar-
tiers, and even the highest officers
would raise their three-cornered hats
and bow with much courtesy whenever
they met me-

New Years day of 1908 was an event
of great Importance to Mother
Mary" Mcdonald at the Home for
Aged and Infirm Colored People in
West Philadelphia, for it was the one
hundred and thirty-third New Years
day that she has seen.
Mother Mary" is the oldest woman
in the country and possesses the use
of her faculties to remarkable ex-
tent. She is always ready to tell of
the stirring times Of the revolutionary
war and of the bitter winter when
Washington and his troops were en-
camped near her home at Valley
Forge.
This bright, cheerful little woman
is familiar figure in the home. She
thinks that smoking tobacco has
heightened her life, and is perfectly
happy with her old short-stemmed
pipe in her mouth. She says that
she could not do withoutit She clings
to this old-time custom which was
common in her young days, and even
while she was i'll some time ago the
doctors would not allow her pipe to
be taken from her.
With her pipe in her mouth-for
she declares she cannot remember
without it-"Mother Mary" tells of
the days when Washington and JEFF

An Artifi cfaI Aurora.

AT the Royal society rooms re-
Gently Prof. Ramsay showed an ex-
perimental proof of the electrical ma
ture of the northern lights. Between
the poles of powerful electromag-
net he suspended an exhausted glass
globe, containing at the top a metal
lie ring. An alternating current dis
charged through the ring in the
globe produced an annular glow, and
when a current was sent through the
coils of the electromagnetic the glow
was detected downward in stream
ers resembling those of the aurora
borealis. The spectrum of the natur-
al aurora shows the presence of
krypton, and in Prof. Ramsay's ex-
pertinent krypton was produced in
the discharge through the rarefied
air within the globe.

ELKlNS BILL PASSED.
Lawmakers Engage In Warm Debate
ana the Lie Is rassed by
Democrat.

Washington, Feb. 13.--Under the OPP
GRAFTON OF special order which cut
off an opportunity to offer amendments
the house, after debate Of an hour
today, by vote Of 24l to 5, passed
the Elkins bill to prohibit rebates to
shippers. Six members who voted
against the bill were democrats.
LittIefield did not vote on either the
rule or the bill. The democrats pro-
tested against the rigorous terms Of
the rule. II had been their purpose,
they said, to offer provisions of the
Littlefeld bill as an amendment to the
bill. Dalzell PENN and Hepburn Qa.)
announced that with the passage
Of the Elkins bill antitrust legislation
for this session Of congress would be
complete.
During the debate Cochran (dem0-
crat. Mo- branded one OF Hepburn's
statements as deliberate lie." Con-
trary to the usual cusom, this strong
language had no sequel.
The remainder of the session vas de-
voted to the sundry civil appropriation
bill. which was practically completed
No effeors was made to pass it, as
there was no quorum present.

London Press Expresses Note of Discol
tent at Monroe Doctrine.
New York, Feb. 1S.-The Daily Tele
graph argues this morning that tn,
United States has established quas
suzeranity over the republics of Souti
America. according to u London dis.
patch to the Tribune. The Telegraph
says:
"The Monroe doctrine involves that
as things are, a distinct premium is Of
fered to adventures and irresponsible
persons who can boast of ephemeral
authority in these republics to play fast
and loose with their external obliga-
tions. Some day or other citizens OF
the United States might be the victims
and then the government at Washing
ton would find itself confronted by an
inyidious dilemma. Either it would
have to put up with defiance or be
compelled to adopt measures, the en-
ployment OF which It denied to other
powers similarly situated. Such a po-
sition would comport neither with the
dignity nor the interests Of the United
States.
At any rate, when the Venezuelan diff
ficulty is out of the way, we trust that
statesmen will take the prob
lem with all its complications and em-
barrassing eorellaries in most serious
consideration.

careful consideration to your proposal
OF the fifth instant and having desire
TO discharge our duty to our country,
our state and ourselves and TO all 9TH
ers, we are disposed TO meet you in
fair ways and adjust the difference ex-
lstIng between our factions In q man
nar credltable and with honor TO both
sides. We hereby tender TO you the
following proposition based on a reas-
enable and equitable plan 10 give and
take. We viii agree to Join with you

MS and the other to be selected by you,
provided of course. your selection Is
not John Edward Addicks."
A strong pressure will Tic brought 10
bear upon the Addlcks assemblymen
between now and Monday TO accept the
proposition made TO them today by the

have the unions end the quarrel of two
years by nominating Secretary OF State
Layton Tan Addicks adherenO for the
long term and accepting Colonel Hen
ry A. Dupont for the short term va
cancy.
Colonel Dupont would be senior sem
