A cablegram recently announced that q
link with the past was broken by the
death at Southsea, England, Of the lady
who was the original Of one Of the char
acters in Dickens MASTERPIECES Bleak
House" This lady Mrs. Hayman. was
the child OF one OF the authors friends,
and round her personality he wove his
clever tale. This Is probably so. but the
dispatch goes on to state that Tiny
| Tim was her brother, and one could
/ hardly imagine the two characters COM
! ing from the same freside. This may all
| be no more than pretty story, but il
| is a fact that one OF the heirs OF the
| famous Jennings estate, which is yet in
! chancery, and the legal red tape of which
runs all through the story OF Bleak
! House" under the name OF "Jarniyce
VS. Jarndyce." lives in Washington at the
| present time. and has spent most OF her
four score years here. One of Virginia s
| colonial governors was OF the Jennings
line. and his only child, daughter. mar
ried William Hill, a surgeon In the Brit
ISL navy. who was the second son OF the
Marquis OF Lansdowne. So between the
| dying out OF a male line in the one house.
and the love for America on the other,
the estate went INTO chancery 800 years
ago. Probably. If the American cousins
had been interested enough 70 bring some
/ American energy and cash 10 bear on
| the case the estate might have been
| rescued. but II has been regarded BY them
as something OF a Joke; and this effect
IL
ton went to London a couple OF years
| ago. declaring she expected some OF her
| Jennings cousins 10 entertain her II any
had survived, for the very day she landed
in all the papers appeared notice of the
death OF one OF the heirs to the Jennings
chancery suit-the suit is all any of the
blood have over heired-and-the party
died at the Richmond Surrey alnlshouse.
A rather grim Joke it was, by tho way.
So here in town we have link vi 5h the
past quite as strong as in Little Dor
rift"

BAILEY THINKS HIS RESOLU.
TON WILL BE ADOPTED.
Measure Has Been Referred to a
Subcommittee Which Is Favor
able-Report Soon.

Senator BaileyS propositic n. that the
Senate shall meet every day at O'Clock
instead of IL o'clock is being given seri-
Gus consideration, and Senator Bailey
thinks his plan will be adopted. The Sem
today and referred the Bailey resolution
to a subcommittee consisting Of Senators
Aldrich, Carter and Bailey.
This subcommittee Is In favor of the
change, and will so report to the full
committee, with probability that the full
committee will report to the Senate.
Senator Bailey is arranging an argument
to be presented to the Senate In behalf
of the change In the hour of assembling,
and is urging other senators to join him.
Senator Bailey started his propaganda
on the first day of this session of Con-
gress. and gave notice at that time that
he would subsequently bring his plan to
the attention of the Senate
1T is absurd said Senator Bailey
this afternoon. Ito continue the present
method of meeting at u O'Clock, and
a majority of the Senate Immediately

reasons for the proposed change In the

mittee will also recommend minor changes
In the order of business, the regulation
of the morning hour and other details
of procedure. to conform to the proposed
new procedure. Senator Bailey is very
enthusiastic over his proposition, and is
confident that he can win the Senate
to his way Of thinking. 1t is his idea
that more actual business can be dis
patched between and o'clock than
wastes about two hours in the early aft

In the beginning the products of supply
will be vegetables, poultry and eggs.
Eventually the company expects to estab-
fish supply of dairy and cattle prod
ucts. The company will be operated on
purely mutual basis, with just enough
profit charged to pay the expenses of
operation. If the corporation proves sat
isfactory it is said that it will be en-
larged and take into its scope thousands
of people.

CINE was At Manassas. Va, and sus-
tanned a bad cut on the head and had

and he was brought to this city and
taken to the Alexandria Hospital.

that Jackson offered linn chickens some
time ago at - cents apiece. Jackson
admitted this, but added that the chick

DECIDE UPON OPERATION
PHYSICIANS DIAGNOSE THE
CASE OF SENATOR SMITH.
I'll of Appendicitis. But Condition
Reported to Be Improving.
Family Doctor Here.

Senator William Alden Smith OF Michi-
gan. who has been i'll OF appendicitis at
his home here. 100 18th street, was re-
ported to he much better today, and the
question whether ne will undergo an OPP
GRAFTON at this time OF wait for several
weeks and then have the operation per-
formed will be decided this afternoon.
There are many important matters
pending before the Senate in which Sen
ator Smith is deeply interested. particu-
larry the rivers and harbors bin and
Michigan's share in the appropriation,
and he is very DESTROYS of being on hand
To look after these matters. which he
could not do if he submitted at this time
to an operation. On tho other hand, SEN
ator Smith is in excellent physical condi-
ton and Is well able, it is said, to stand
the operation. If a decision is reached
for an immediate use of the knife il will
probably he performed tonight or tomor-
row morning.
Family Physician Here.
DIR. Louis Barth of Grand Rapids, SEN
ator Smiths family physician, who was
called here at Senator Smiths request,
reached Washington last night The
senator was told by tho local physicians
that an operation would be necessary,
but he insisted that he should have the
opinion of DR. Barth. DIR. Barth found
his condition to be good, and while he
concurred in the opinion that an opera
ton would eventually be necessary, he
said that it might be postponed for sew
cral weeks if the senator so desired.
The decision, therefore, rests with SEN
ator Smith. DIR. Barth will perform the
operation at the appointed time. The
senator has had several attacks of APP
pendicitis in the past, it is believed, al
though the attacks were thought by him
to be merely acute indigestion.
Senator Smith became i'll last Tues
day. He ate for lunch that day shad roe
and drank buttermilk, and the combina-
ton is supposed to have brought on the
illness. Tuesday night he was in much
pain.

INSPECTION OF Records
CONGRESS MAY MAKE RECOGNI-
TON OF PEARY CONDITIONAL.
Possible Submission of His North
Pole Observations to University
of Copenhagen.

1t is possible that before the House
committee OH naval affairs agrees to re-
port any sort of proposition giving ROD
crit Il. Peary official recognition Tor MS
polar explorations il will impose cohd'-
ton requiring him to submit his records
to the University of Copenhagen, or some
other scientific body, to the end that there
may be no mistake about the accuracy Oh
the observations upon which he bases MS
claim to have reached the pole.
This suggestion is made by members OF
the subcommittee of the House commit
tee on naval affairs which reported ad-
versely on the Hale and Allen bill pro-
posing 10 make Mr.. Peary rear admiral,
presumably of the line, as there Vas
nothing in the bills 10 indicate that his

Oppose the Moore Bill.

Representatives Butler, Roberts and
Bates. the three members of the subcom-
mittee who are opposed to promotion for
Peary because he has been drawing pay
for doing civil engineering work while he
was actually engaged in looking for the
pole. are violently opposed to the bill in
troduced by Representative J. Hampton
Moore of Pennsy lvania, which provides
that Peary snail receive the thanks of
Congress and he made Il civil engineer on
the retired list with the rank of rear adj
miral.
They are using the fact hat Pcary has
submitted his data to only one sclentlnc
body. that being the National &c. gra phic
Society, of which Mr.. Peary Is member.
They are arguing, too, that Congress
should not take the risk of having Peary :
data examined after il has given him a
medal and promoted him, for they say
this data might be pronounced to be I'M
worthy of the claim he makes based on
such observations.
They do not, however, challenge either
the accuracy of the observations or the
sincerity of Peary's declaration that he
reached the pole. They simply pretend to
be Missourians and make the usual Mis-
souri, demand.
