ONE MORE.

There are not exclusive Societies enough in this country, so another has lneen formed. It Is called The Pocha- hontas Memorial Association" and is to be made up of descendants of Pocha- hontas and of descendants of those English colonists who were saved bv her intervention from massacre or starvation. Attention has been called to the fact that these descendants are widely scattered, and as the time for the erection of the memorial at the Johnstown exposition is approaching those not already heard from are re- qgested to communicate without delay
 Pochahontas was quite girl, and afterwards quite lady. She was the daughter of the Chief Powhatan, and was therefore an Indian princess. She was about 12 years old wien John Smith was brought before her father in 1907. According to the account of his captivity given by Smith in his Gen eral History of Virginia" published in 1924 after the appearance of Pochahon- tas in England, she saved his life by interposing her body between him and the war-olubs of his executioners, and by interceding for him with her father. This episode is omitted from other ac- counts of his captivity written by him, and is discredited by recent historians. But perhaps 1t will be claimed by the "descendants.' Pochahontas married an Englishman named John Rolfe, and had son who afterwards came back to Virginia. His children married into distinguished Virginia families.
 Long may The Pochahontas Memo- rial Association" live and prosper.

MUNIFICENT.

The list of bequests made by Mrs. Lucy H. Boardman is good reading, and especially good reading for New Haven. Not often is any city so gem erously treated as New Haven has been by her. During her life it was known that she did much for it, and now it is known that her benevolence and benef- icence were doing much more than was known. Her gifts are truly munificent. and will cause her to be remembered with gratitude and praise as long as gratitude and praise for noble and helpful deeds endure in New Haven. Mrs. Boardman has set a splendid ex- ample for those who have more money than they and their families need and who want to do what they can for the benefit of their fellow beings. Her bequests seem to be as judicious as they are generous.

FRENCH oo1oN1An ENrERPBrsEs.

There are, it appears, some little Frenchmen" as well as some little Americans" MT Paul Adam has at tracted wide attention in France by published prophecy concerning the fu- ture of French colonial enterprises. He argues that western Europe should surrender the Congo, Niger and Zam- besl valleys to the yellow races, who alone can endure the climate. The French navy, he says, is inadequate to the defence of the sea routes between the mother country and her possessions in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Indo- China eventually will be wrested, he declares, from France. New Caledonia and the New Hebrides will follow. Soon the French will be able to control merely the passage between Marseilles and Tunis-Algeria-T -Tangier, with the result that 'the only exotic empire of which France can possibly assume the protection is that of North Africa. Sit- uated at our very doors, it will become the outlet of our industrial overproduc- tion--that Is to say, the main source of French wages-when the free China man or any other workman shall have fertilized the soil, excavated the mines

If we let the Germans settle there, close against us the land route to Timbuctoo, harbor their cruisers in the bays of this Mus sulman coast, we lose in advance the entrance of the Dark Continent.

INDIANA, I'll UmB-MARKS.

Fortunately, the Indians of the West don't write much but the signatures of some of them are occasionally needed. Their pen marks have hitherto been made, but Indian Commissioner Leupp has substituted thumb marks for the old-fashioned cross of a pen in secur- ing the signatures of Indians, and he reports that many of the Indians take most kindly to the innovation. The thumb-mark, which has been used mostly to secure the impressions of criminals, can now be used in various ways, and this suggested to MT. Leupp that the individual mark of the Indian might be secured to all sorts of docu- ments. His first experiment was in canvassing a certain Indian community on the question of leasing some of their lands. His agent found that the Indl- ans were very strongly opposed to the lease, and their negative votes were re- corded by their thumb-marks, which they thought much better method than the old-fashioned way of touch- ing the pen held by the hand of clerk, which the Indian often repudi- ated.
 
 It is sad to read that the Indian hasn't been as honest Injun'' as he ought to have been, but perhaps his thumb-mark will now help to teach him that honesty is the best policy.

A Hartford priest in Rome writes to the Catholic Transcript telling of the changes in that city, and then describ- ing a papal audience. The face of the Holy Father is disappointment at first. It is what has been called "a peasant face, swarthy, of a peculiar tinge, uncommon to the Italian type" But when 1t lights up it is transform ed and suffused with light of singu- lar beauty. It denotes "a strong man of God, dominated by a strong love for his fellows. There is a touch os hu- nor at the close, where the writer says: "The Holy Father did not ask me for President Roosevelt, nor did he assure me that the hope of the world reposes on American prosperity. This Is offered by way of exception"

The Sandoval and the Alvarado, which this government obtained from Spain in the war with that country, are not likely to have much further employment as naval ships, according to the official survey recently made. It is stated the sides of the vessels cannot stand good hard rap, and that row boat pumping against the hulls would be apt to penetrate the thin skin. It appears to be out of the question, there fore, to do much with the ships with a view to their use on naval militia duty. fs will require a great deal of repair work to put them in condition, in the first place; while their present unsafe State would undoubtedly mean an ex-

Samples presented to him during his visit to that place were so good in quality that he ordered that a large supply of the best kinds of cane slips for planting should be obtained from India.

A New York thinker has evolved the theory that. the subway is developing a race of men who stay downtown till 2 and o'clock in the morning. He finds that very often the subway trains bound uptown at these hours are com fortably filled, and says that no such conditions were observable on the ele- vated before the underground route was opened. His explanation is that men living on the West Side, near sub- way stations, are so easy in their minds concerning the question of getting home quickly when they are ready that they are in no hurry to start.

Dihi- cuSty in obtaining help will prevent any Increase in acreage and tend to limit the anticipated overproduction. Mir. Blackwell says that negroes in all parts Of the South are deserting the farms and that the most serious trouble con corning labor will be in Georgia and North and South Carolina. One cause of the scarcity of help on the farms Is found in the rapid development of the lumber business in the South, which offers steady work at good wages an- other cause is the activity in railroad building.

MARRIED A MOTHER
INSTEAD OF SISTER
Young Man Seeking Modification OF
Divorce Alleges That He
Was Deceived.

NEW YORK, March 13.-James Will
liam Stanley asked Justice Greenbaum.
of the supreme court, to modify a decree
Of divorce granted to his wife, Sarah
Taylor Stanley, in 1900. Incidentally he
made the astonishing statement that,
whereas he had intended to marry his
college chum's sister. he discovered that
the woman who became his wife was his
friends mother.
According to the affidavits submitted
TO Justice Greenbaum. Stanley first
met his future wife in 1893. He was AT
that time twenty years old. He says in
the papers now on file:
AT that time. 1893, 1 was a student
at Cooper Institute. and there 1 met a
young mar named James Dye. He was
about sixteen years old. We became
very friendly and he invited me to his
house, where 1 was introduced to the
plaintiff CMrs. Stanley as his sister.
Il called frequently. and early in 1894
the plaintiffs mother suggested that ]
marry her daughter. She was then
thirty-three years old We were mar
ried February IA. 1894. two days after ]
became twenty-one years Old
Mr.. Stanley says that after living to-
gether for a year and a half, suit was
brought against him whereby his wife
obtained a decree of divorce Then he
goes on 10 say:
since the decee of divorce was
granted I have learned that my wife
never got a divorce from her first hus-
band. and consequently her ma arriaSe to

I have also found out that James Dye
was the son OF my wife instead OF being
her brother"
