Professor Says Story of Washington
Never Telling a Lie Is Untrue.
George Washington told white
lies, according to Prof. Archer B.
Hubert of Marietta College, Mariet-

When Washington was in confer
ence with some of the Indians in
Virginia, when he was only a young
man" said Prof. Hubert, "he told
them some of the biggest white liep
that have ever been told in this
country. The story Of Washington
never telling lie is untrue. Such
harmless falsehoods only make the
man more human and more to be
admired.

A TARDY BURIAL.
Body of John Paul Jones Not Yet i'm
It's Final Resting Place.

Five years after being brought to
this country the body Of John Paul
Jones, hero of the revolutionary war,
is about to be inferred Forgotten
by those who participated in the GER
emonies attending it's return here
forgotten even by men in the naval
service-the dark leaden coffin con-
tanning all that is mortal of the ia
nous warrior has lain under the
stairway of Bancroft Hall at the
United States naval academy at An
napolis.
The activity of the Sons of the
American Revolution is responsible
for the passage of bill through con-
gress last March authorizing the ex-
penditure of $4,000 for the burial
of John Paul Jones in the little chap
ell at the Annapolis Naval Academy,
and the erection there of memorial
in his honor
Just why Americas great naval
hero should have been so completely
forgotten for five years is a riddle
that no one seems able to answer.
1t is explained, however, that the
Id di dCdueLly OHlCldlS ulu not enter
a request for funds to bury the body
because their budget at the last ses-
sion Of congress was unusually large,
and it was feared that an addition
might result in reductions elsewhere.
When knowledge of this came to the
Society Of the Sons of the American
Revolution recently a committee
was chosen to urge a special appro-
priation bill through congress. This
passed without difficulty Although
the appropriation was made more
than two months ago the officials OF
the navy department have not yet
decided on what style of memorial
will be erected in the hero's memory

CAUSED LIVELY SENSATION IN A
FASHIONABLE SECTION.
The Diaphanous Clothes of a Fair
PTomenader Awakened Atten-
ton OF Old and Young.


No one could really tell whether it
was a harem skirt minus the skirt or
only the hobble part Of the other
kind OF the latest sensational gown,
but there were few persons in River
side Drive the other afternoon who
missed it, says the New York World.
Occupants OF carriages and automo-
biles craned their necks, and digni-
fed men and women on promenade
halted Young and old viewed the
spectacle, a beautiful young woman
who wore what was promptly called
the cobweb skirt.
The fine weather Of the morning
and early afternoon brought out
many things that had been concealed
all winter, and, of course, the sum-
mer cOstumer had not been idle
Three attractive young women parad-
ed out Of One Hundred and Tenth
street about 4 o'clock in all the glo-
~ Of new silk, filmy gowns, queenly
long paTasols and lifting hats. They
walked out to the brow of the little
hill that juts into the Drive and stood
at the head of the steps as if in
doubt whether to descend. And just
then the beautiful sunlight.
The two outer girls attracted no
undue attention, but the center
one-well, some of Solomons wives
might possibly have been arrayed as
she. Her cream silk gown, speckled
with little red things, was certainly
the cObwebbiest creation that has
made its appearance in the Drive
this season. 1t was not heavy enough
to put a weight on ones mind, and
the bTiefer the mention of it's length
the more appropriate.
OF course she may have been on
her way home from some comic Op-
era rehearsal and have left a few
things behind, but there she was out
in the cold, cruel world, and right
up where almost everyone could see
Her outer garment seemed to fade
in the sunlight into only a haze,

statue

DR. Fix said Beattie was thoroughly
reconciled to his fate and would go to the
death chair quietly
Beattie's father also consented to speak
today but would say nothing more than
that he appreciated keenly the many kind
expressions of sympathy he and his fam

ton OF the prison officials.

corum drawn by Virginia law around the
