EQUAL SUFFRAGE WINS.
The House Consents. TO Extend Female
Suffrage.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE equal
suffrage bill passed the house by a
vote of G5 to So Hackney made a
hard fight against the bill. The suf-
frage supporters say they have IL
votes pledged in the senate. 1t re-
quires 81 votes in the senate to pass
the bill.
The bill was introduced by MIR.
Eddy of Pottawatomie county. In

The Wedding Ring Finger.

The wedding ring was placed on the
left hand, as nearest the heart, and on
the fourth finger because that finger,
was supposed to have its own "pri-
vate wire'' lin the shape of delicate
nerve) to the heart. That finger, too,
was called the medicine finger, and
the belief was that by virtue of the
little nerve it could detect danger
GUS poison if simply inserted in the
liquid. From that belief the idea that
wedding rings-the rings worn on that
finger-had special curative qualities
had its rise. TO this day wedding
rings are rubbed over an obstinate
sty ON an eyelid.

institution volume containing these
self-same rules, written in French.
One edition of this volume was print
ed in Rouen, and was among the text
books studied by young James Marye
when attending the Jesuit college of
that city. This proves conclusively
that it was he who translated these
rules to his pupils in Fredericksburg,
since he was the only man there who
understood the French tongue, his ma
tive speech. The variations In the
manuscript left by Washington are ex-
actly such as young boy would make
in following the oral instruction of his
teacher.
With these revelations it would
seem that the dispute of historians
and biographers over the history of
these famous rules" has at length
been settled.

While 8 Voted Against 1t.


Topeka. Feb. 10.-The bill establish

oil refinery at Peru, Kas., passed the
senate today by vote OF ~ 10 o.
Those who voted for the bill were:
Benedict. Benson, Belts, Blaker, Brew

Gilbert, Griffin, Hamme, HARRISON
Haskell, Hayden, Hodges, HUFFMAN
Hughes, Martin of Woodson, Martin
of Bourbon, Noftzger, Peck, Porter Oh

Stewart and Waggener. Those VINO
voted against the bill were: Dolley'
Fulton, Lower, Smith OF Franklin
Sitting Tucker, Wilkerson and Young
The absentees were: Buschow, Chap
man and Miller.
Nearly every lawyer in the senate
expressed doubt as to the constltu-
tionality of the bill, still most OF them
voted for it.
Benedict in explaining his vote for
the bill. said he believed it was de-
parture from safe and sane govern
mental policies, and that the agitation
was the result of the wave OF indigna'
ton that was sweeping over the state
against the Standard Oil trust. How
ever. his constituents seemed to want
II and he would sink his personal
Judgment and vote as they wished.
Dolley said the reason he was OPP
posed to the bill was that it carried
too large an appropriation. He was
in favor of q state refinery for expert
mental purposes.
Getty expressed doubt as to the
validity of the act, but said that II he
erred he wanted to err on the side oil
the people; not on the side of the
trust.
ism. he was socialist. The consti'
tuition was meant to protect the peo-
ple against tyranny and if the present
one didn't protect he was in favor OF
one that would.
Tucker, in voting against it, said
his vote would not decide the fate OF
the bill. His judgment was that it was
unwise legislation, and, notwithstand'
ing the wave of public sentiment at
this time for the refinery, he would not
change his mind.

IT'S THE TERROR OF ALL WOMEN.

Backache Quickly Cured by Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Mrs. w. n. Ambrose
tells how her pains vanished never

American Kidney Remedy.
Dover, KY, Feb. 13th.-(SpeciaD--
So long has Backache been the terror
of the women OF America that the
numerous reports of the complete and
permanent cures of this ailment now
being made by Dodd's Kidney Pills
are causing wide satisfaction and not
the least remarkable Of these cures
is that of Mrs. w. H. Ambrose Of this
place. Mrs. Ambrose says:
81 had such pains in my back at
times I could hardly move and other
symptoms showed that my kidneys
were affected. One box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills drove away all the pains
and have never been troubled since"
Backache is the kidneys first notice
that they are out of order and need
help. If they get that help in the

Forty Birds in One Essay.

A writer in Country Life in America
says: The poems of Lowell are filled
with references to nature which ex-
hibit considerable knowledge of bird
and tree and shrub. The essay, My
Garden Acquaintance, written in
1869, is the best evidence of his
knowledge of the birds. In the essay,
he mentions more than forty kinds
of birds with which he had a good
deal more than a bowling acquaint'
ance.

their studies at some of the great uni
versities. Washington's two elder
brothers received this advantage, but
the death Of his father made change
In the family affairs. A large property
was left to them, but there was little
ready money and there were several
children to educate and provide for.
Hence the education of Washington, to
his lifelong regret, was limited. 1t
was under the care of this Huguenot
that our great statesman received his
most valued instruction.
Rev. Jonathan Boucher, teacher of
Mrs. George Washington's son, John
Curtis, says that George Washington
had for his first teacher "a convict
servant whom his father had bought
for a schoolmaster." This convict
was most probably one of shipload
of convicts brought by Augustine

father from England in 1887. After
the death of his father april IL,
1743), George, who was then II years
old, was sent to live with his half.
brother at the old homestead of
Wakefield, in Wesrmoreland county,
where he was born. Two years later
he returned to live with his mother
opposite Fredericksburg. 1t was then
he became pupil of Rev. James
Marye.
John Fiske, in his "Old Virginia
and Her Neighbors," states that at
this time Washington attended an ex-

London. There, in 1928, he married
Letitia Maria Anna Stage, sister of
Rev. Theodosius Stage, famous min
lister in the early days of Virginia, and
who was at that very time rector of a
church in st. Georges parish, few
miles from Fredericksburg.
On first coming to Virginia Rev.
James Marye became the minister of
a settlement of Huguenots at Mana
can, or Manakinton, in Goochland
l(now Powhatan county,. on the James
river, above Richmond, and so excel
lent was his reputation that the good
people of Fredericksburg desired him
for a rector. Accordingly, in 1875, as
shown by the early vestry book, the
church wardens asked leave of Gov.
Gooch, as was the colonial custom, to
call Rev. James Marye to their pull
pit This request was granted, and
In October of the same year he as

and eventful pastorate of the Marye

thirty-four years, and being followed

In the year 1929 Rev. James Marye,
D Huguenot refugee, and his bride
landed on Virginia soil. This man
was destined to fill position OF great
trust and Importance. He was to be
the spiritual guide and adviser OF
Mary, the mother Of Washington, and
her family. After years of research 1t
has lately been proved that it was he
that gave to the young George those
famous "Rules of Civility and Decent
Behavior in Company and Conversa-
tion," which bore fruit in the produc-
ton of that most consummate flower
of American manhood, George Wash
ington. That these rules" played
most important part In the formation
of Washington character has been
acknowledged by all of his biograph-
ers: in fact, the wisest and noblest OF
these rules" are familiar in nearly
every home in the country, but whence
they came; whether they were the
prokuct of Washington's own brain,
or whether they came from some out
side and unknown source. and what
this source was. has been for over a
century matter Of dispute and con-
lecture.
This learned clergyman, Rev. James
Marye, belonged to prominent Cath
ollie family of Rouen, France, and was
educated for the priesthood in the Jes-
uit college of that city. In 1926 he
renowned the Catholic faith, went to
England and was ordained in the
Church Of England by the bishop OF

cellent academy in Fredericksburg,
of which Rev. James Marye was mas
ter. Paul Leicester Ford, in his
The True George Washington" page
GO, gives the following interesting ac-
count: con the death of his father,
Washington went to live with his
brother Augustine, in order, it is pre-
sumed, that he might take advantage
of a good school near Wakefield, kept
by one Williams, but after a time
he returned to his mother and attend
ed the school kept by Rev. James
Marye, in Fredericksburg. 1t has
been universally asserted by his BIZ
ographers that he studied no foreign
language, but direct proof to the con-
trary exists in a copy of Patrick
Latin translation of Homer, printed
in 1742, the fyleaf of which bears
in a schoolboy hand the inscription:
Hume mihi quaeso Glove vir) Libel
lum
"Redde. 81 forsau tenues repertum
"Uut Seias qui sum sine fraude scrip
tum

George Washington.
1T is thus evident that the reyer
end teacher gave Washington at least
the first elements of Latin, but 1t is
equally clear that the boy, like most
others. forgot it with the greatest ia
cility as soon as he ceased studying.
Among the manuscript copies Of
George Washington preserved in the
State archives at Washington, the
earliest of which bears the date Of
1745, is a large manuscript book. IN

House Passes The Bill After Four Days
Discussion.
THE VOTE STANDS 326 TO H.
Democratic Leaders Compliment Re-
pubIicans on Their Almost Unani-
nous PASSAGE of the Esch-T own
send Freight Rate Bill.


four days of discussion, the house, by
vote of 1926 to II, passed the Esch-
Townsend bill providing for the regu'
lation of freight rates. The negative
vote was made up of IL Republicans
and six Democrats.
The closing hours of the debate
were occupied by Messrs. Williams
(Miss), the minority leader, and
Hepburn Qowa), chairman of the
committee which reported the bill.
Mr.. Williams, while supporting the
minority measure, even though he
said he knew it could not pass, COM
plimented the Republicans for bring
ing in a bill which was much better
than he expected would come from
them.
The speech Of Mr.. Hepburn was
rather in defense of himself. He said
that his deeds and acts were sutii-
cient answer to the lies and sland-
ers'' which had been heaped upon
him. The bill known as the Hepburn
bill, he said, had been prepared by
the attorney general, and he only
yielded to his colleagues on the COM
mittee ON the Esch-Townsend bill be-
cause he did not want sensational
headlines. He devoted some time to
a strong presentation of the merits
of the majority measure.
The agricultural appropriation bill
was then taken up and on a point of
order by Mr.. Teller the amendment
authorizing the secretary Of agri-
culture to accept gifts of land for
forest reserve purposes was stricken
out.
The military academy appropria-
ton bill, which was completed today
by the senate committee, carries ap-
preparations aggregating $677,979, as
compared with the house bill OF
$669,233.
Senator Elkins reported the Ameri-
can registry bill. The bill provides
that foreign vessels wrecked on the
American coast shall not be admitted
to American registry until repairs
have been made in American ship
yards equal to three-fourths of the
value of the vessel. The present law
requires that the repair made in
American yards be equal to two
thirds of the vessel to admit the YES
sci to registry. The bill further
amends the law by providing that such
vessel shall not be permitted to en-
gage in the coastwise trade. Senator
Elkins submitted a report showing
that more than 700 such vessels had
been admitted to American registry
under the present laws and that more
than half that number had been adj
mitted within twenty years. The bill
as reported today was amended so as
not to apply to vessels wrecked prior
to the passage of the bill.

cutive session, and at $3.50 adjourn

WASHINGTON IN YOUTH

| But these RULES of Civility," as
they are generally called, have been
ascribed by the biographers to an alb
solutely apocrhypal source. Washing
ton Irving, Chief Justice Marshall and
Henry Cabot Lodge knew not whence
they came.
One of the latest Of his biographers,
Henry Cabot Lodge, has the following
to say: 1T was reserved for the
storms of war to reveal the source of
the rules A little volume was
found in Virginia library" On the
fyleaf, he says, was the name of
George Washington, written in boy
ish hand 1t was entitled Young
Mans Companion" 1t contained gen
eral truths and precepts, which, to-
gether with Hale's "Contemplations,"
so he says. may have furnished the
basis of the rules" This Young
Mans Companion" was by w. Math-
err, written in a plain and easy style,
and was printed in 1742, and seemed
to contain much varied and useful in
formation, such as lessons in arith-
metic, surveying, the drawing up OF
legal documents, measuring land and
lumber, gardening, etc.
But Mr. Lodge is in error. Moncurc

COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE.


Topeka, Kan. Feb. 1a-The house
today adopted resolution empower
ing Speaker Stubs to appoint COM
mittee of five to investigate charges
of alleged boodling, and the speaker
Immediately named committee ana
instructed it to go to the bottom OF
the rumors and report its findings to-
night. The resolution grew out OF
fiery talk INDUCED in by members
during the recent consideration OF the
bill to establish state oil refinery,
and eliminated in the publication by
a local paper of story which said:
IAN oil business has failed to buy
the senate. viii it succeed in buy
ing the house?'
Following the adoption of the reso-
luton Speaker Stubs said:
81 should like to see this commit
tee 20 to the bottom of things and
if any member has been guilty OF mis-
conduct | would like to see him ex-
PEELED from the house. and his name
bulletined for the benefit OF the
state.
One of the members Of the commit
tee suggested that the committee be
not limited in its investigations ana
suggested that railroad attorneys be
brought in and compelled to exhibit
their pass books and stubs.
