It is not now in the family, but no one knows what has become of it. One account says that it was stolen, while another asserts that it passed into the keeping of Hon. William s. Patton, a lawyer. In any event it has disao- peared and has to remain unaccounted for.
 As for the lock given to Miss Halsey, the nearest guess that can be made as to it's present location Is that it is somewhere in South America. Her de- seendants who are supposed to have some years ago to live in South Amerl- ca, and 1t is assumed that they took their Lates and Penates with them.
 The whole histor yof the letters and the locks amounts to this as the case stands at present: One original letter, giving the locks to the young women in Providence, written by Martha Wash ington, is owned by MT. w. D. Ely of this city. All other letters are copies. The Rh ode Island Historical society has what may be called the Bowen lock-" Mrs. John Fiske of Cambridge Mass, has the "Chace lock-" while the Howell and Halsey locks are Host, strayed or stolen."
 Aside from the fact that it once adorned the head of George Washing ton, the haIr itself it not remarkable in any way. It is of an ndeterminate brownish color, with several gray gray hairs scattered through it. It's value Is great, nevertheless, and lt is one of the chief treasures of the society.

SALTWATER CURE PROVES
 REMEDY FOR ANCIENTS

Paris March 14.-The assertion that the ancients knew more about medicine than the best modern physicians is brilliantly confirmed by the salt water cure" dis covered by a young French scientist, M. Rene Quinton, who is proving that some of the most serious ailments can be rap idly cured by the mere injection into the blood of ordinary sea water.
 By merely going back to Hippocrates and Pliny M. Quinton is today curing diseases hitherto practically incurable.
 Paris has now two dispensaries where 'piqures' of sea water are administered. Nearly all skin diseases, infantile ail ments, and various forms of consumption are amenable to the treatment.
 The 'plasma de Quinton," as it is called is merely very pure sea water talk en at Arcachon some forty feet below the surface, where the water is absolutely clear. The water, already free from sedi ment and organic matter. is sterilized and used for injection under the skin. Last April 26S injection were made. In 15 per cent of the cases cure immediately fol- lowed the first injection; in 70 per cent cure followed after the sixth injection.
 Gastro-enteritis, which carries off 70,OOO French children every year, is easily cured by the "piqure."
 Children admitted into the dispensary in the Rue d'Ouessant in the last stages of pulmonary tuberculosis have shown improvement after the first injection. Some of these children were living skele- tons, weighing less than at birth and unable to retain any food. The first in jection gave them healthy appetite, and the improvement continued with each successive "piqure"
 Sea water injection has no painful reac- tion, and in addition to curing specific diseases, leaves the human organism healthier and brisker than before. Each piqure costs only ten cents
 French ladies of high birth are promot ing the cure. Among them is the Mare chal Macmahon, the Countesse de la. Rochefaucauld, and a score of the best names in France, who nurse the patients themselves.
 The fundamental idea of the sea water cure is that salt water is the base of all

 A human being, says M. Quinton is "a veritable marine aquarium, and one fourth of his total weight consists Of blood-serum which is in essence nothing but the sea water in which his ancestors, the monera and amoebae lived.
 More than a million injections of "plas- ma de Quinton" have been administered in France during the last four years. The cures number thousands and .there is no recorded case of patients disease be- ing aggravated by the treatment.

A LONG HUNT FOR WASHING HAIR Four Locks Sent to Providence
 Girls In 1900 ONLY TWO ARE FOUND Third Whisp Is Supposed To Be Some where in South America. Martha

From the Providence Journal.

Aoii tHe GfON1uence JOufnaI.
 On December IA, 1799 George Wash ington, The Father of His Country passed away at his home in Mt. Yer non. At that time it was the custom for friends and admirers of a man who died to wear as a mark of respect or as a memorial of him mourning rings con- taining lock of hair of the deceased. In the event of the death of such a man as Washington. many requests were made for locks of his hair and among those who asked for and got them were four young women of Providence.
 The Chad Brown Memorial relates the incident in part as follows
 Shortly after the death of General Washington, Mary Cor Maria) B. How ell, in connection with three other young ladies of Providence, the Misses Julia Bowen. Sarah Halsey and Abby Chase, wrote to Martha Washington expressing their sympathy with her l the great grief she had suffered and asking for a lock of Washington's hair to be made into mourning rings for each of them. The promise was made to wear these rings during their lives and bequeath them as mementoes of tn : departed President.
 To this request Mrs. Martha Wash ington, responded, writing from Mt. Vernon on March 12, 1900. She says:
 Ladies-In granting the request con tained in your sympathetic letter of the 24th of February I beg you to be as- sured of the grateful sensibility with which I received your expressions Of condolence and kind wishes for my happiness.

'JOHNSON'S Men
CARRY CONVENTION
Minnesota Democrats Indorse
Governor and Turn Down
w. j. Bryan

ST. PAUL, May 1.-THE democrats
Of Minnesota today formally indorsed
Governor John A Johnson as presi-
Dental candidate and at the same time
by vote of T72 to 16s. refused to de-
clare in favor OF William ]. Bryan as
q seconG choice.
The followers of Bryan did not carry
out the threat which they have sc
often made during the last ten days
that they would bolt and hold a rumE
convention if their contests were de-
feated before the committee on creden-
tials, or IL they were not able TO Sc
cure a partial Endorsement OF their
leader. They made sturdy fight for
their man, and when they had beer
Overwhelmingly defeated remained
quietly in their seats and made nc
motion TO leave.
Several days ago they had gone to
the length of leasing a hall two squares
from the auditorium in which the con-
vention OF today was held, for the pur-
pose of indorsing Bryan and naming e
a contesting delegation to Denver. The
hall was ready for them today. but
none of them went near it,
The Johnson men were generous in
their victory and declared in their plat
form that while they entertained an
affection for and confidence In the in
tegrity and ability of William J.
Bryan" they believed that Johnson
was a man .better calculated to bring
success 10 the democratic party and
was first entitled 10 the support OF
Minnesota
The convention was fiattering trib-
ute TO Governor Johnson. The en-
thusiasm for him was unbounded.

YREELAND BILL IS
PASSED BY HOUSE
Currency Measure, Opposed by
Fifteen Insurgents, Adopted
by Vote of lS4 to AS
Majority of Democrats Refuse to
Accept Williams Substitute
Offered by Kahn

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Vree-
land currency bill. agreed upon by the
republican caucus. was today put
through the house under q special rule
by vote OF 1S4 TO 145. Fifteen so
called insurgents of the majority party
voted with the democrats, who went on
record solidly against the measure
The closing moments of the debate
were replete with excitement and re-
publican enthusiasm caused by the re-
fusal OF the great majority of the demo-

bin, which had been offered by Kahn
of California, Is substitute for the
Freeland bill, in accordance with well
laid plan OF the majority leaders to as
certain where the democrats stood on
the proposition which, it was claimed
by several. was supported by W J..
Bryan.
Ninety-three democrats voted pres
ent.' which aroused the republicans TO
a high state of hilarity at the expense
of the minority. Only a handful of
democrats had thel ternerity TO vote
aye or no" n
The action OF Kahn was due 10 the
refusal of Williams TO present his bill
as a substitute. which under the rule
he was specifically authorizednto do.
AS. soon as the bill reaches the senate
Aldrich will call q meeting Of the COM
mittee on finance TO consider it. It Is
expected the committee will vote unani-
mously TO amend the house measure by
striking out all after the enacting
clause and inserting the provisions Of
the bill which was passed by the SEN
ate.
It is not doubted that the senate will
approve the action OF the COMMITTEES.
The effect of this course would be to
send both the Vreeland and Aldrich
bills TO conference.

for the Secretary of War

PORTLAND. Or, May 14.-oregon's :
eight delegates to the republican na-
tional convention were instructed for
Taft today at the state and congress
sional district conventions. The three
conventions were absolutely in control
Of the Taft people. under the manage
ment of Senator Charles ". Fulton S
friends The fight was whether Fulton
could secure an Instructed delegation
for Taft, or whether Senator Jonathan
Bourne could secure an uninstructed
delegation that would support a second
elective term for President Roosevelt
The Bourne people were defeated at
every point in Oregon. delegates and
presidential electors. II was Bourne s
desire 10 head the delegation.
Late in the afternoon. after the con-
vention passed resolutions instructing
for Taft. Bourne wired from Washing
ton urging that the delegates be in
StrCcted for Roosevelt and stated that
if otherwise instructed he did not wish
10 be a delegate.

-Four presidential electors were NOM
mated as follows. J. D. Lee, Portland:

Miller, Linn county, and A c. Marsters,
Douglas county.
Two efforts were made to have the
name of Roosevelt substituted for Taft
in the instruction 10 delegates and one
TO substitute the name OF Hughes.
Each of these motions was voted down.
The state platform approves the na-
tional administration. favors tariff re-
vision along conservative lines; de-
mands restricted immigration TO keep
the Pacific coast from being the dump
ing ground for undesirable Asiatics; q
greater navy and keep the Atlantic feet

one for the Atlantic; condemns the
growing abuse of the initiative and
referendum law; condemns all but re-
publicans registering as such, and the
Oregon congressional delegation is
commended for its fight TO restore 10
the public domain land granted TO rail-
roads.
A special resolution was introduced
and adopted condemning the Breckett
bill now before congress as tending
toward landlordism- An amendment to
the interstate commerce commission
law along the lines Of that proposed by
Fulton was also recommended.
