Lance Was Stung.

Judging from the troublesome edi-
t6rials in the Fredericksburg Free
Lance Of Saturday, some person or
persons have evidently been gingerly
trcading on its toes, by criticising the
Lance in publishing the advertisement
Of the Business Mems association of
Washington. and charging discrimi-
uationr in favor of that city. The
Lance Indignantly denies the accusa-
ton and tries to explain it. The
merchants who used the paper for
their ads rejoined with further aver
srnent that what lthey said was true.
They aided the paper the year around
and it was tough to be knocked out
I'll Christmas goods. The Lance then
made further plea that no one would
read the ads anyhow and would not
be induced to go to Washington, an
hour or SO away, if they did To which
the merchants made reply that if no
one read the ads and we're not induc-
eusDy tuem "udl "clo thcs 1hcHioci'co
running them for in the Lance? To
that the Lance man said feebly:

chants made no reply but indicated
he better get all his ads in Washing
ton for the future.
II is very different story to run
an I'd to draw people away from here
to washington on free rides than it is
to announce sale by people coming
here. The latter has an element dis
agreeable it may be, but at least it
invites no people to leave here,

Lowe lost no time in prosecuting the
search. The very next day she con-
suited with her friend, Mrs. Bowie
Johnson. then a resident of Balti-
more, but who has since moved to
Winchester and while the matter was
being talked over Miss Lowe saw the
following advertisement in a Baltimore
paper:

ed to investigate the authenticity of
the ad. After inquiry GOV sring Pc
riod of several days, they ascertained
that the child in question was in the
possession of Mrs. Elizabeth 5. BAKER,.
wife of Mr.. Franck Baker, druggist
of Winchester, and an estimable lady,
deeply interested in philanthropic
work. A visit to Winchester was the

the baby was shown to Miss Lowe she
was delighted.
Then came the facts apout the baby's
history Miss Lowe went into it to-
the minutest detail, and among other
things the Baltimore woman learned
that the child was the supposed son
of Elizabeth Carroll, descendant of
the CAROLS Of Carrollton, and that
the father was William Fairfax. Such
blood, Miss Lowe thought, was good
enough for any Frenchman, and it was
arranged that the child should be TAX
en- to France at once.
at was agreed that Mrs. Baker
should accompany the future heir tol
France This she. did, and when met
ON the other side by the Marquis she
was given most cordial welcome,
and the child, who, Immediately wound
himself into the hearts of the foster
parents, surpassed in every respect
their fondest expectations.
Seeing the little fellow comfortably
placed in his palatial home, Mrs. Ba-
ker returned to America, and the tiny
hold. But, alas some friend-a very
close friend of the Marquis-dropped
in one day and remained while. He
liked the boy; in fact liked him SO
much that he began to ask all about
him.
The friend learned that he was sup
posed to be descendant of the Car
rolls, OF Carrollton, and the infoma-
ton made him open his eyes in sur
prise. He started his memory working
but could not recall any Elizabeth
Carroll who had son. He, himself,
was related to the family, but never
heard of any such person. According
ly the friend told the Marquis that
some deception had been practiced7
upon him. The Marquis, thought
grieved, believed it, and Immediately
communicated with Miss Lowe. in
America. The former communicated
with Mrs. Baker, and she replied that
the child's birth was exactly as It'll
was represented to be. but that the
mother was dead and the father was
at present somewhere in Canada. d
This ended matters for few weeks,
when Miss. Lowe sent letter to Judge
Conway w. Sans, of Baltimore, detail
ing the circumstances in the case
and requesting him to make a thor,
ough investigation as to the parent
age of the boy and heir.

WHY HAWAII IS
To De FORTIFIED

The Washington Post Of January 81
| says:
The Senate has increased the appro-
| priation for the defenses of Hawaii, In
| accordance with the recommendations
of Secretary Taft. 1t is estimated that
the War Department can expend to ad-
vantage $780, during the coming
fiscal year.
While the suggestion will be officially
secuted that the recent japanese war
talk has anything to do with the forti-
fication of Hawaii, people generally will
regard the insistence of the War De-
partment as inspired by the belief that
the time is at hand when something
tangible must be done to insure un-
disturbed possession of the islands The
continued influx of able-b bodied Japa-
nese into Hawaii, many of them veter-
ans of the Russo-Japanese war, has not
been overlooked. OF course, the pros
pect OF war with Japan seems very re-
mote, indeed; but in the case of Ha-
waii the possibilities are such as to
justify prompt defensive measures. The
United States does not intend to give
up Hawaii to anybody, and would be
forced to fight desperately for it if it
should be captured. The War Depart
ment evidently thinks it is cheaper to
defend it than to reeapture it. and the
public is likely to adopt the same view.
The Philippines are in different
class. Big appropriations for fortify-
ing them are not urged by the military

scrutable reason the impression SEEM
ed to prevail about Chinatown that the
games were to be allowed to run with
out hindrance during their celebration.
and to check that idea the members of
the special force spent several hours
on Monday in Chinatown, warning all
that this year the law was going to be

this warning was laughed at.

Of the police was noted by one of the

when the police appeared upon the
scene it was to see about seventy pig
tails scooting in all directions. Seven
players had stayed behind to gather up
the money from the tables and these,
with the money. dominoes and dice.
were captured.
In relation to the morning raid, an
afternoon paper tries to give the i'm
preston that Sheriff Iaukea and De-
tective Taylor had turned around and
arrested a number OF Cinnamon in the
Society Hall in which they had appear
ed as guests. AS a matter of fact the
raid was made on another street al
together and the gang arrested had no
more connection with the members Of
the society who had entertained the
officials than the Governor OF the Ter
ritory has with gang Of drunken SAIL
ors on the waterfront.
