All these names are pronounced alike.

Is relationship between them. Colonel
Samuel Jordon was prominent citi-
zen OF Amherst county before the Revo-
luton. Some of his descendants now
live in that county, but none of them
bear Jordan. as surname. Before and
after the Civil War, there WIS another
family named Jordan. living in Am
horst. but this last family cannot be
called a Branch of Colonel Samuel
Jordon's family. as It is in no way
related TO him or his descendants. This
Information the writer gained fifty years
ago from the grandchildren of
Colonel Samuel Jordan. The Jordone
family immigrated from England to
Virginia at a much later date than did
the Jordon or Jordan families There
has never been any connection proved
or claimed between the two. The Jor-
dones are connected with the Pettus
family. and also with the Clayton Cole

A VIRGINIA WITCH.
Beautiful Woman Charged With
Witchcraft Ducked in River.

Two centuries ago tho good farmer folk
Of Princess Anne county, Virginia,
thought differently. In 1906. long after
Salem witchcraft and witch's hill had
passed into history. they imprisoned
Grace Sherwood on charge Of witch
craft and subjected her for many months
to indignltles OF every sort. Many Of the
descendants Of the people living in Prin-
cess Anne county at that time who are
now living on the same spot believe her
to have been guilty Of witchcraft.
Surviving the lapse Of two centuries,
though somewhat faded, We still have
the pen portrait of Grace Sherwood as
she was at the time. The old chronicles
tell of her as having been a tall and
stately woman. with dark hair and n
face so beautiful that it was constituted
ono of the counts in the Indictment
against her at the trial. The women said
no mere mortal could be so beautiful,
They said their husbands praised her too
much and she had turned their heads
with her witchcraft. They acknowledged,
however, that the brown eyes of Grace
Sherwood CLEANED upon them with ten
derest sympathy whenever they were sick
or In trouble. Yet still they declared
that this was done only in order to harm
them

Grace Sherwood was tried on charges
brought by her neighbors. Luke Hill and
wife. They charged that she had brought
through sorcery a distemper upon their
cattle. She was arrested and confined in
the old Jail of Princess Anne county,
which Is still standing. The justices of
the court which tried her We're Colonel
Moseley. Lieutenant-Colonel Thorrow-
good. John Richason, John Cornick, Capt.
Chapman and Captain Hancock. She was
arrested on January 3. 175. After a
month of discussion the court ordered
that Luke Hill should pay the costs of
the trial and that Grace Sherwood should
be tried by a jury of women. Eliza
Barnes was sorewoman of this Judy. Other
members OF the jury We're: Sarah Norris,
Margaret Watkins, Hannah Dimis. Sarah
Goddard. Mary Burgess, Sarah Sergeant,
Winifred Davis. Ursula TIenly, Anna
Brights. Exable Waplies and Mary Cotle.
They promptly decided that she was a
witch. The case dragged along until July,
when the court rendered the following
remarkable decision:
Whereas. for this several courts ye busi-
ness between Luke Hill and Grace Sher-
wood on suspicion of witchcraft have been
for several things omitted particularly for

The Doctor Away from Home when
Most Needed,

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they most
need his services. Diseases like cramp,
collie and cholera morbus require prompt
treatment, and in many instances are
fatal before medicine can be procured
or a physician summoned. The right
way is to keep at hand a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. No physician can prescribe a
better medicine for these diseases. By
having it in the house you escape much
pain and suffering and all risk. Buy it
now; it may save life. For sale by N. E.

HEBREWS SUSPICIOUS
OF WISDOM OF GOD
DiStrusting and Limiting the
Leadership of Him, They
Naturally Lost.

"They Limited the Holy One of Is
rael," was the subject of a sermon
delivered before a large congregation
by the Rev. Dr. Paden at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday morning,
the text being Psalms, 7s:41. Mr.. Pad
en- SAID IN part;
1.-The Hebrews measured God very
much MS they measured Moses. They
could not gainsay His past record but
they began to suspect that He had
limitations He was a very good giver
of bread and water but as TO His abil-
ity to feast them with ouails they were
skeptical. They seemed to think that
God had about exhausted His resources
In giving them daily supplies Of man
na and that there was little or nothing
more to be expected of Him.
They began to limit His wisdom
They took matters into their own hands
and you know the whole generation Of
them that died in the Wilderness Dis
trusting the leadership Of God they lost
They also distrusted His willingness to
help them. Soon they were distrusting
His love and care, Their own wills be-
ing wrong, they sought to find lack of
good will in God, 1t takes two wills
to unlock the treasures of trustful af
fection and people must be willing in
the day of God's power.
We all need to beware. We are
In danger Of hindering God s work in
our hearts and in the world. When we
nurse the pride we ought to crush with
out mercy, pamper the lusts of the flesh
which we ought to mortify or give audi.
ence to thoughts which we ought to
drive from our hearts, when we leave
our friends out of our prayers, all tes-
tlmony for Christ out of our conversa-
tion we limit the Holy One
50 Almost the sum of human wisdom
is found in the old Greek maxim,
Know thyself.' This means, Konw thy
limitations. How some Of us have
bruised ourselves against these limita-
tions in finding them out Were it not
for tho divine wisdom of these scrip-
lures we would have reason to succumb
TO our limitations. The wisdom which
throws open our prison and kindles our
hearts with saving hope is the knowl-
edge Of God -

QUESTION OF DEATH
DISCUSSED CALMLY
Any Philosophy Which Disre-
CARDS Future Life Is Poor
Makeshift.

AT the services of the First Unitarian
society yesterday Rev. Rodcrick Steb-
bins, of Milton. Mass, preached to q
large congregation Mr.. Stcbbins began
by referring TO this West as a country
of far distances and of the advantages
of dwelling in n country where the clear
atmosphere permitted the landscape be-
ing seen in long reaches. SO it was
with life, he said, to the discerning mind
and understanding heart. All living
was preparation for the future friends,
homes, opportunities which in the far
distance approach us. The strong life
must be one which is lived with the for
ward look and the unreluctnnt soul
Likewise for all of us out of the flu
ture advances a sccptre dreaded by
some rs an aVenging doom and awaited
by others as an angel of light and larg
er life. 1t is death, Surely it comes
to all. Any. philosophy which disre-
to the one who does Gods will as he
understands it, death can have no grisly
terrors. But let it be discerned coming
toward us in the far distance, and Lot
us by noble living, by seeing and doing
righteousness, so temper our souls that
we can welcome this certain visitor
without terror and without regret.
An excellent program of music was
given by Unity Quartette. The anthem,
Fly Unto My Father was given
as one, selection, the solo parts beng
taken by Mrs. Browning and by Mr..
Pol. Mrs. Smith also sang a contralto

DISAPPOINTED THAT
SHIP SUBSIDY FAILED
Senor zabalIos of Argentina
Wants Legislation to Slim

BUENOS AYRES, March 1O-Estan-
lslano Zaballos, Minister of Foreipn Af-
fairs and formerly Minister of Arpen.
Una TO the United States, in an inter
view today concerning the faiiure Of
Inc ship subsidy blll to pass at The
recent session of the United States
Congress, expressed his great disap.
polntment at the fate of the bill and
the conviction that the interests of both
countries demanded measures for the
extension of commerce.
Senior Zabalos pointed out that Ien;s.
!ation had been enacted long ago grant
ing subvention of $4,000 annually
Tor steamers performing a regular sery
ice between Argentina and the United
states, and the Argentina Government.
ne SAID was prepared to make the tar
IN concessions, when these were possi-
DIE, for the purpose Of facilitating com.
nercial intercourse. The Minister
added that even as far back as the tine
when ne was accredited TO Washington
ne had conference with President
Cleveland, in which he made similar
proposals on reciprocal lines
IN proof of the advantages of the
policy he favored. Senor ZabaIIos
quoted official figures showing that AT,
gentina s imports from the United
states sta eS, had aal increased progressively from
Sl3,OO0,O0O In 1900 to nearly $40 O00 .
600 IN 1906, and her exports TO the
United States from $1,Oo6,0O0 in 1900
TO over sl3,,000,000 gold in 1906.
Senior Zaballos said he was confident
that when tho trade possibilities be.
tween the two Republics were under
stood in the United States the Amer.
ican Congress would see the desirabilitv
OF mutual commercial relations, the bal
ance being always largely in The favor
of that country The Minister fhouobt
II would be matter for deep regret if
the splendid effects of the meniorable
visit OF Secretary of State Root should
be minimized by apparent indifference
as to a commercial policy, which. while
beneficial to Argentina. would be
doubly so TO the United States.

SALT LAKE STAKE
HOLDS CONFERENCE
Apostle Whitney Links the
Names of Jesus Christ
and Joseph Smith.

The quarterly conference of the Salt
Lake stake of Zion was held yesterday,
The afternoon session Of the confer
ence was held in the Tabernacle in lieu
of the regular Sunday services in that
edifice. Nephi l.. Morris, president of
the stake, presided, and there were
present John R. Winder and Anthon
II. Lund, counsellors in the first presl
dency, and Apostles Francis NJ. Lyman,
Orson F. Whitney and David o. Nc

The services opened with the sing.
ing of the hymn, "Come, Thou Glor-
ious Day" Elder Davis, member of
the high council, offered prayer. The
choir sang the anthem, fFrom Afar.
Gracious Lord -
Apostle Mckay was the first speaker.
His text was. "Judge Not That Ye Be
Not Judged" and he applied this with
special reference TO fault t-finding on the
part of the saints concerning the acts
OF "those over us, He quoted Bob
bic Burns to substantiate his claim
that no fault should be found with peo-
pie unless the fault-fnders were cogni-
those whose acts they were inclined
to criticise. He particularly warned
the saints against finding fault with
acts, doings and judgments of God.
The choir then sang the famous Nor
mon hymn, go, Ny Father" after
which Apostle Whitney made brief
address. He opened by paying a tri-
butte 10 the writers Of hymns and bal
lads, to. the artists, sculptors and musi.
clans of the world. declaring that, from
the point of greatness, they were equal
TO the statesmen and warriors.
Il had rather have my name linked
with some great hymn which would stir
the souls of men, said Apostle Whit
ney, than to occupy a seat in the
United States Senate, or hold any 9th
er high position,'' and his audience
wondered whether or not he intended
any personal reflection upon Reed
Smoot, his fellow apostle.
Apostle Whitney wound up with his
nsual doctrinal discourse, in which he
linked the names Of Jesus Christ and
j Joseph Smith, and drew a parallel be.
tween their birth. their careers and
their mission on earth
