day in April, as provided in a reso-
luton introduced by the late Sena-
tor HOar two years ago. The main
reason for making the change is the
usual inclemency of the weather in
Washington in the early part of
March. There has been scarcely
a single Inauguration day in the
past but that some prominent per-
sonage has died as a result of ex-
posture while attending the open
air ceremonies at the east front of
the capitol. The death of at least
one president is attributed to this
source, that of President Harrison
Last spring there we're two victims,
the Mexican ambassador and Sen
ator Bates of Tennessee. Public
sentiment generally favors a later
date and the committee feels that
favorable action will be taken by
congress this winter if the matter
is properly pushed.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The "hot

this town, and, oddly enough, it
started in the ghetto, where the
streets are already full of vendors
of this new delicacy. Cooked sweet
potatoes are now the delicate It'd

hot tamale never got a sure foot

monument TO
JEFFERSON DAVIS
(Scripps News Association


RICHMOND, Va, Nov. s. - The
Virginian State Division United
Daughters of the Confederacy open
ed its annual convention here today
with large attendance from all
parts of the state. The convention
has attracted an unusually large
number from this and adjoining
states owing to the fact that one
OF the principal features was to
be the laying of the cornerstone of
the Jefferson Davis monument in
this city on the first day of the
convention. The erection of the
monument has been made possible
by the untiring efforts of the Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy,
who have for years collected funds
for that purpose, until they had
accumulated enough to pay for the
cost of the memorial. The cere-
mony will take place this after
noon.

OUR Daily Story.
The Bully of Hill City.

! Big Jim advanced a little. The
crowd fell back. He stood in the
door and surveyed the mob as an
other man might look up at the
pine covered crest at Carriers peak.
The mob grew quiet. There were
200 right hands clutching deadly
weapons, but not a hand moved.
Two hundred to one is appalling
odds, but the one was master.
Seeming to face every man of them
with the black muZZle of his re-
volver-the man backed away up
the road and into the darkness, out
of their sight and hearing.
Out into the darkness, down the
rough road-over the rude bridge,
and there Big Jim put up his re-
volvers, turned his face square to
the west and stepped out without a
look back at the camp. 1t was 10
miles to aHrvey's bend. Men
driven from one camp took refuge
In the other. The halfway land
mark was bit of a valley skirted
by a creek. Wayfarers who were
journeying by team many times
halted there. On this night there
was lone wagon. Under the can
vas cover slept mother and four
children. Resting against the
wheel was the husband and father,
his eyes piercing into the darkness
his ears drinking in every sound.
Big Jim had not reached the val
ley yet when the still night air was
rent with war whoops, the crack
of rifles, the screams of woman
and her children. Indians had dis
covered the lone and almost de-
fenseless family. There were five
scalps to adorn their lodges. The
bully and the coward had not been
discovered. He could find a safe
hiding place. Did he?
A half dozen screaming, yelling
flneds were dancing about the
wagon shooting, striking, closing
in on the one white man, who
somehow escaped their blows and
bullets. when there was a cheer
and rush, and the navys began
to crack. Sixty seconds later ST.
lence had fallen on the valley.
One. two, three dead Indians.
The immigrant leaned against the
wagon, faint with a wound in his
head. The wife looked out with an
awful terror In her heart

MARIE HALLS
AMERICAN DEBUT
(Scripps News A.ssociation.)

(ScrfppS News Association.)
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Musical
circles are looking forward with
intense interest to the American
debut of Miss Marie Hall, the
young English violinist, who will
make her first appearance in this
country with the New York Sym
phony orchestra at Carnegie hall
tonight According to foreign crit
les, Miss Hall is the greatest wo-
man violinist of the century. She
is under contract to play in so con-
certs and will remain in this coun-
try until March Of next year.
Miss Hall has rather romantic
history. She is the daughter of a
talented but poor musician, who
was her first teacher. They were
so poor they were compelled to
earn a living by playing on the
streets in small English towns. In
Bristol some music lovers became
interested in her and furnished her
with funds to go to London and
try for the Wesseley scholarship
at the Royal Academy of Music.
She won it easily, but, being with
out money, was compelled to fore
go the privilege of free tuition I'M
til Cannon Mellows became inter
ested in her and enabled her to
return to London to study. She
studied with Professor Kruse Will
helmj and finished her musical ed
ucation under Sovcik, the teacher
of Kubelik.
