PRONOUNCED.
There Are Various ways, But the
Right One Is Heard Among
the Virgininns.

The name of that old Indian king
who ruled over most OF eastern Vlr-
gSenia in the earliest colonial days is
not called as much now as 1t was Ior-
merly. 1t survives in good old POW
hawtan county and in the Powhatan
pipe, and in six different post ofiices
in different states of the union, says the
Richmond Wa.) Times-Dispatch. Id
Kansas they have Powhattan, which we
/ suppose is a misspelling, following a
INSTRUMENTATION of Powhatan. But
many people of this generation have
forgotten, If they ever knew, that klns
Powhatan's summer capital" was
about half a mile below Richmond
| while his winter quarters were IN
Gloucester, and that he was alternate
ly a good friend and a great enemy OF
Capt. John Smith, and that he was the
father of Pocahontas, from whom de-
scended many Virginians of distinction
But so it was, and all that sort Of thing
makes us close connections of his.
However, he was of a rowing disposition,
and moved his town of tents-tepees-
from place to place, and it is hack
drivers history" only that he died at
his sometime home neal this city,
known as Powhatan.
We do not fail to remember that Pow
hatan was the name of the James river
before the colonists intruded their ships
and skiffs upon it-but that is another
story.
Once, it was quite common for Vir-
ginia boy babies TO be christened Pow
hatan" and girls "Pocahontas," but not
SO now. We can we'll understand how
the latter name ceased to be agreeable
to ladies since the usual diminutive OF
it was poke" but why the royal name
of Powhatan should have fallen into dis
Use is not so obvious. However, a peri
cd came when provision had to be made
for the perpetuation of the fame OF
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Lafayette, John Marshall, Patrick Hen
ry and other patriot fathers" Then
| Andrew Jackson and Winfield Scott had
to have their day, and yet later Lee,
Beauregard, Ashby and other confed-
crate names attained popularity. But
fashions change in M as they do in
clothes, and, just now, there is a ten
dency to turn back to old family regis
| ters, and reproduce the names of the
long ago, and it may be that we shall
have soon a new crop of "Powhatans.'
We are not so hopeful about the re-
establishment of "~Pocahontas" in pub
Ilic favor; the reason why we have al
ready given. But Pocahontas' other
Indian name was "Mateo," or "Mato-
aca," and hat is pretty, and is Notable
to any objection, so far as we can see.
When she and John Rolfe had made
a match" she embraced Christianity
and was baptized under the name OF
Rebecca. But, all that aside-we-c con.
clude by expressing our ardent hope that
the new Powhatan babies may have
their names correctly pronounced. We
can tolerate 10 imitation of the SOUND
of Manhattan" Let it be good, old
fashioned, Virginia Powhatan, with
the Ssh" silent, and the second accent
on "tan."

The ladies of the Leyant, it would
seem, are not afflicted with the "ca-

the book reviewer: They seldom write
a letter, and when they do their style
is naive, and their technique almost a
matter OF private enterprise. Here. for
example, is a note from a sultana to her

POSTAL FRAUDS TRIAL.

Machcn, GroT Brothers, DIR. and Mrs.
LOrenz ut the Ear.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Thc trial
OF August w. Machen, the Croft broth
ers and DR.. and Mrs. George Il. Lo-
REM for completely in tl.a osta,
frauds has begun in earnest l"rr. AT
the outset the government scored two
points, when Justice Pritchard refused
to make a rule requiring the District
attorney to select the specific count of
the Indictment under which the de-
PENDANTS would be tried and also when
he permitted certain p~ostoffice in
spectors to- remain in court after the
other witnesses had been required to
retire.
Six witnesses were examined, all of
them in the employ of the p~ostoffice
department. Except in the case of
Witness Howley, chief clerk of the Of
flee of the first assistant postmaster
general, the testimony was devoid of
any feature. Mr., Howley, who had
not concluded his testimony when
court adjourned for the day, was rigid
" cross examined by Mr.. Kumler Of
counsel for the Lorenzes. He admitted
that frequently it happened that Mach
ems initials and signature were placed
on letters, orders and acquisitions by
his ~subordinates and that this practice
had resulted in IN order to all division
chiefs prohibiting their delegating this
authority to others.

WESTON OF
ROUNDSMAN
Mayor Seaman Says He has not
Considered Matter as Alder
men Must Act First.

= The choice of a roundsman for the
notice force has caused no little talk
in this city, some maintaining that
their favorite is sure to get the place
and others as vehemently asserting
that the man they like will land the
berth.
With a desire to get some light on
the subject from an official standpoint,
q News reporter this morning asked
Els Honor the Mayor if he had any
choice as yet for the rank of rounds
man. Mr.. Seaman said that he had
given no thought to the matter up to
this time, as the city ordinance gov
eraing the police force simply provid-
ed for tie appointment of q rounds
man without fixing any salary or the
amount OF increase over the pay of a
patrolman. The question would have
to be brought up in the City Council
and the ordinance amended sn as to
fix a stated salary for the position be-
fore anything further could be done.
6 When asked if he had any idea as to
whom he would appoint when the
ordinance were amended, Mayor Sea-
man repeated his statement that he
had not considered the appointment at
all and declared, to use his own words:
~ always make it a point to
cross my bridges before / come TO
Them
Gossip on the outside has it that the
two most likely candidates are Will
lam McDermott and Lawrence Long.
McDermott has been on the police
forge much longer than Long and Nc
smott's friends claim that, as he is
|, the promotion naturally be-
.gs to him.

HOUSE FOR EACH SEASON.
Unique Tribe Living on Small Island
Adjacent to Formosh Utilize
n Clever idea.

James w. Davidson, United States
consul to Formosa, has written an ac-
count of a unique tribe living on a small
island adjacent to Formosa who have
a house for each season of the year
cold, wet and dry, says the National
Geographic Magazine. Each family
possesses a splendid walled and stone
paved compound, wherein are three dis
tinct houses, attesting the, cleverness OF
the natives and their desire to obtain
the maximum of comfort. One house,
built half way under ground, Is their
winter residence. For the warmer
weather they have a comfortable build
ing, elevated some feet above ground,
and for protection against, the heat of
summer they have a towerlike edilce,
sufficiently elevated to catch the cool
brsezes. These huts serve not only as
habitations, but also as workshops and
storehouses. In construction a oonsid-
cradle amount OF wood is used as sup
ports and cross beams and for the in
ner floor, ceiling and walls of the two
large huts. The elevated structure is
of wood, bamboo and straw. A shelf
projects level with the entrance, and
the inhabitants are obliged to mount
this and then crawl in on all fours, the
doorway not being much larger than the
entrance to a good-sized dog kennel.
The room is like a large flat box, some
seven by eight feet, and is so low that
one lying down can almost touch the
ceiling with uplifted hands; but the
savages always squat, so the place is
high enough for them.
