MEET US AT JAMESTOWN!
And Let Us See the Old Church in
Which Princess Pocahontas Alias
Matoaca Rebecca Rolfe, was
Baptized and Married

James II. Bacon, in News and Courier.
In Norfolk, ENGLAND. we have seen
the authentic original Of the portrait
OF Pocahontas, painted while she was
on visit to the royal family in Brit
ian. If we arc not mistaken there are
copies of this portrait in Richmond
and in williamsburg, Va.
In This portrait Pocahontas is
dressed like a Court lady Of the
period. She wears ruby-colored:
velvet waist, long and stiff, a broad
lace collar, with an Elizabcthan flare
to it in the back, lace cuffs, pearl
earrings and a highcrowned hat. She
carries a gorgeous feather fan in her
right hand. The face is very express
sive and, except serious thoughtful
ness, has but little of the traditional
stolidity Of the Indian. The "first
-families' arc descended from a very
good looking young woman.
She was the first American girl to
go to the English Court and be wond-
cred at and admired by the fine ladies
and noble men there. And certainly
she was of better blood than either
Consuelo Vanderbilt or Anna Gould
or the Mackey girl that became Prin-
cess Colonna. Whether she had
happier time with her foreign hus-
band than these rich American girls
we do not know. At all events she
did not sue for divorce. Pocahon-
tas was real princess, although she
was Virginia born. Her father> call
ed himself tho Emperor Powhatan;
and the Englishmen who came over
with Capt. John Smith found him a
very formidable person to be reckon
ed with. And they treated him with
great respect. In fact, King Pow
hatan was the most dignified, relia-
BILE and respectable Indian we have
ever heard or read Of. @...E
I. You may hear and read much talk
about this or that American girl, very
beautiful, and always very rich, who
has married an Englishman and had
a gay time at the Kings or Queen IS
Court, but we hope you will realize
that no one Of them is so we'll born
or interesting as. the girl we are tell
ing you about. l. III.

'''. DESPITE PROTEST
BUT TEDDY WILL REINSTATE
NEGROES WHO HAVE CLEAN

The State Bureau,

WaSnlngton, NOV. II.
The president announced that he
will "stand pat" in the negro troops
matter, but he spent a goodly portion
Of this his first day at home since

prominent negroes. The private sec
retary Of Booker Washington, sent
specially by his chief, was among
these.
The president held up a cabinet
meeting half an hour to talk with
this one and another. This afternoon
he received whole bunch of news
paper men and told them all about
it. He says that with all the protests
he has not been given any "facts"
which contradict those upon which
he acted and lie wants it distinctly
understood that mere statements"
will not go. But he is willing to rein

that they had no knowledge of the

adoption Of the faith of Jesus Christ
our Lord.
1t was soon after her marriage that
she went to England and became an
object of great but respectful curios-
lty to all London for having saved
the life of Capt. John Smith in such
romantic fashion.
During her visit to England Poca-
hontas was entertained in great state
by the Bishop of London, who hoped
to spread Christianity among the say
ages Of America by means of her gen-
tie Influence.
Pocahontas died quite suddenly at
Gravesend, III England, on the eve of
her departure for America; and well
may "the first families" Of Virginia
be proud to trace their descent from
the noble daughter Of the "Emperor
Powhatan." Her union with Rolfe
secured for the English Colonists all
immediate truce with Pohatan's s
tribe, and also with the powerful and
"Grccn Sprines,' once the home
OF Powhatan and Pacahontus, is the
name Of the plantation directly west
OF jamestown. 1t is the name given
by the Royal Governor, Berkeley, to
his country seat there. There are
thirteen springs of delicious water on
the place. Old Berkelcy's mansion
is now picturesque ruin drapcd
with ivy and no longer habitable. If
we mistake not the inevitable and
noisome rich Yankee has bought the
place and built hunting lodge there.
just beyond the jamestown old
church tower one sees the redoubts
and intrenchments Of the Confeder-
ates, thrown up just before they
fought Mcclellan there on May 5th,
1862. The bastions are still we'll de-
fined and the guide lives within the
fort. The only Colonial relic, be-
sides what has been mentioned, is
the old powder magazine, one end of
which is still standing firm.
The James River is surely, and not
very slowly eating away the crumb-
ling wall. The Government years ago
made an appropriation for a sea wall
to protect these almost sacred Col
onial relies, but SO carelessly did the
contractor carry out the job that a
few years effected 4 complete ruin.
Nine or ten years ago The sea wall
was lying in the water. and losscncd
bricks from the powder magazine
were lying under the marsh Of the
James. The government, ten or twelve
years ago, appropriated another $15,-
OO0 to construct a durable sea wall.
Let lis hope this wall was worthily
placed in position.
We shall see next year-God will
ing.

Paid for Church Goinn.

La Crosse, Wis, April 4-Whether
81 per day is sufficient compensation
for attending church is the question
confronting Peter Paulsen of Cash
ten. When Paulsen's mother died
she left her son $1,000, to be paid to
him in fifteen annual installments on
condition that he attend regularly
little church near Cashier in Mon
roe county. The old lady was a de
voted attendant of this church. Only
illness was to- excuse the sons non
attendance. Paulsen wanted the
money, but objected to the conditions
and after his mother died he took
the case into the circuit court, asking
relief from the compulsory church
attendance. Judge Fruit ruled that
the money would have to be earned
by faithful attendance at religious
devotions. Paulsen then appealed to
the supreme court, where the decision
of Judge Fruit has just been sus,
tanned.

proposition that where the legislature
enacts a specific rule for fixing The
rate OF taxation by which rule the
rate is mathematically reduced from
facts and events occurring within the
year and created without reference to
the matter of that rate, there is nc
abdication of the legislative function
but on the contrary, a direct legisla
tive determination Of the rate.
Again, it seems more reasonable
that the average rate should be fixed
by this mathematical computation
from other rates already established
than for the legislature to prescribe
in advance that which it may hope
will be such rate.
But these considerations appeal
mainly to the discretion of the leg
lslature and do not make against its
power. Unless there be some spe
c1f1c provisions in the state constitu
ton compelling other action, the state
may treat its entire territory as com
posing but a single taxing district and
deal with all property as within the
district and subject to taxation ac
cordingly.
The state is traversed in almost
every direction by railroads. To hold
that for each railroad the average
rate must be determined from prop
erty in localities Immediately contigu
Gus or through which it's road passes
might we'll introduce into the matter
of taxation confusion and Unequal
ity resulting in far greater injustice
than the uniformity established by
the present system"

Washington, April "A decision
came from the United States su
preme court yesterday upholdins
Michfgan's railroad tax law The
decision is of considerable impor
tance.
Justice Brewer who delivered the
opinion, accepted as final the decis
ion of the Michigan court as to th'
validity of the tax law under thu
stale constitution. He says:
There is no general supervision
On the part of the nation over STATE
taxation and in respect to the Latte

freedom of a sovereign both as to OBJ
iects and methods
RemarIdng upon the contention o.
the railroad companies, that the fix
inc of the rate of taxation by the
state authorities aas authorized b!
the state law is legislative fune
ton. Justice Brewer touched upon q
point which is now receiving nAucL
attention from congress and said:
There might be a question wneth
er. even if there were a clear dele
cation of legislative functions to 9th
er departments of the government, il
would be void under the federal con
stitution. In the nation no one OF
the three great departments can as
sume or be given the functions Oh
another. for the constitution dis
tinctly grants to the president, con
gress and the judiciary separately
the executive, legislative and judi
ciaI powers of the nation. It may
therefore. be conceded that an at
tempted delegation by congress to the
president or any other ministerial Oh
fcer or board Of the power to fix a
rate of taxation or exercises oJher
legislative functions would be adj
indeed unconstitutional. But does
il follow that state is subject to
the same restraint? Crimes against
the nation must be prosecuted by IN
dictment, yet a state may proceed by
information. Suppose state by It's
constitution, grants legislative tunc-
+ions to the executive, or to the Jul
dietary. what provision of the tederai
constitution will nullify the acton !:

DOW|E SHORN OF
POWER AND VEAL I'll

Chicago, April 3.-John Alexander
Dowie, head of the Christian Cath
Ollie church of Zion," was yesterday
deposed as religious leader sus-
pended from membership in the
church he founded, shOrn of his tenn
poral possessions as far as they are
located in Zion City, the home of his
church, and warned to accept the sit
uation quietly let worse things befall
him.
Active revolt against DOwie's lead
ership was foreshadowed Sunday
when Overseer Voliva, who had been
placed by Dowie in charge of the
church, while he sought health in
Jamaica and Mexico, and declared
that he would no longer accept the
orders of Dowie, who had, he de
clared, grossly mismanaged the af-
fairs of the church. Members of the
church, including the wife and son
of Dowie, agreed to stand With Vo-
aiva.
Overseer Voliva, who holds pow
eI OF attorney Tor DOWle in company
with several other officers of the
church, fastened to Waukegan, the
county seat of Lake county, in which
Zion City is situated and filed for
record a warranty deed transferring
to Deacon Alexander Granger all real
estate held by Dowie in Zion City.
He also executed a bin of sale to
Granger putting him in possession OF
all the personal property of DoWie,
including horses and carriages, books,
and even his bed. Later in the day
Granger conveyed these to Voliva,
and at nightfall the oTerseer appoint
ed by D0wie had not only succeeded
him IT'S head of the church, but was
holder of all his property as we'll.
Dowie was then notified by telegram
what had been dome.

THE ROMANTIC STORY
That Goes With a Mexican Table
Cover.

In possession of W. C. Darlington
there is knit table cloth, whose
history savors of a Wild West ro-
nance. The table CLOTH was given
to Mrs. Darlington by her father, who
purchased it at a big price, The
work represents the labor of three
years Of a Mexican brigand while
serving a life term in prison. and it
brings to light an interesting romance
from a country where romance
aboundS
From Zapatlan, in the state of
Jolisco, to Colima, in Colima, the jour
ney is over the mountains. Yetin pasl
ages these two points were connected
by big tunnel, the retreat of num-
bers of generations of brigands when
pursued by the government forces.
There were at various places air
shafts for ventilation and once inside
the tunnel these robber chiefs and
their bands were safe. Before the
railroad went through wagon trains
were robbed on the Colima side and
the spoils disposed of on the JaliscO
side before the news reached there.
One robber leader succeeded another,
generations were born, grew old and
passed away. The tunnel became i'm
passable from side to side, rendering
each end only available. Some few
years ago there lived in JOliscO a
young man of fine carriage, elegant
manners, apparently rich and I'M
doubtedly of the finest Castilian blood
"a grandee in every look and action.
He fell in love with a beautiful
young lady-and, after making love in
the Mexican fashion, they became
''novicos," or were engaged. The
girls father was asked for her hand
and the day was set. During the
time elapsing he went away, as was
his custom, for few days, to mis-
hacienda, presumably. Just about
this time matters around the border
between Colima and Jolisco were get
ting desperate on account Of the out
RACES of these land pirates" who
sheltered themselves in this tunnel.
So the government sent a regiment
OF soldiers, who surprised, caught
and brought to Gaudalajara four OF
the outlaws and their leader. The
leader was neither more. nor less than
our fine young Castilian.
His absences were marauding ex-
peiitions, and his riches the proceeds
Of these same expeditions. His COM
Danions were shot, but owing to the
endeavors of MS devoted 'novia" he
was given a life sentence in a
penitentiary, and, every day Of her
life this faithful woman goes to see
ner lover. For three years this man,
once leader of fashion, once chief of
his highway robbers, grandee even in
jail, patiently toiled on this cloth,
carefully placing the stitches, out
lining the dogs, the flower pot and
flowers, the emblem of Mexico, and
birds shown On it. True to him al
ways, this patient little woman
trudged around to sell his three-year3'
work, and finally did SO.
