of Charley Shinn. down along the
times of Lamar Powell to this. 1t

the grand old Republican party, the
only real political party the country
has. 1t isn't waverlng now. 1t is
good reading all along the line. Let

BARBARA FRIETCHIE
RELATIVE Is DEAD
Mary E. Hauer, Who Knew Civil
War Heroine, Succumbs at
Age of Ninety-three.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 5.-Mary E.
Hauer, the last relative OF Barbara
Frietchia. who lived during the civil
war; and who knew the woman patriot,
died at the home OF her niece. Mrs.
Mary Hauer Everhart, at Shrewsbury
Pa, about u o'clock last night Miss
Hauer was ninety-three years old, and
well remembered her cousin at the time
she waved the Stars and Stripes in the
face of the Confederate Army as it
marched through the streets of the
Western Maryland city.
There has been a diversity Of opinion
as to whether the incident of the flag
really happened. but Miss Hauer, who
lived at Frederick at that time. declared
that it was not a poetic myth, but a
reality. She always said that her cousin,
seeing the gray-clothed army marching
through the streets, was seized by pa
triotism, and rushed TO the window,
waved the flag. and her life was saved
when the Confederate general ordered his
men not to shoot.
Miss Hauer was a daughter OF William
Hauer, Of Frederick, whose older broth
er was the father OF Barbara Hauer,
who later married and became Barbara
Frietchie. Miss Hauer spent practically
her whole life, or at least the better
part of 1t, as a teacher in the Freder-
lex Orphanage. She willingly did this
work for many years without ever get
ting one cent pay.
Despite her age, Miss Hauer enjoyed
excellent health until very recently,
when she was confined to her room by
infrmities Of old age. During her con-
finement she had slowly grown weaker.
but retained her mental powers, and
even as late as yesterday afternoon was
able to talk inteligently to several
friends who visited her.
Until two years ago. when she went
to live in Shrewsbury. Miss Hauer made
her home with her nephew. Nicholas
Hauer, Of Patrick Street, Frederick. Md.
She will be buried on Wednesday at her
old home town. Frederick.
She is survived by a nephew. Nicholas
Hauer, and two nieces. Mrs. Mary Hauer
Everhart and Miss Marie Hauer, Of
Hanover Pa.

Philadelphia. Aug. 5.-Widespread inter-

Rev. DR.. Amos d. johnson. pastor Of

vocated a conference to wage on educa-
tional campaign TO show women and
girls the evils of the hobble skirt.
Il think that the clergyman has ut

Pure-minded youths are swayed by the
brevity of skirts. and l believe that the

years. Naturally. You can only hold the
immodest clothing responsible"
DIR. Thomas c. Pollock. of the Oak
Park United Presbyterian Church. de-
clared the predominance Of "mashers"
was shame to the police forces of the
larger cities.
But" he added. ministers and others
shocked by the pageant of immCdest

The root Of the evil is the senseless
desire Of women to expose their charms

BELASC0 TO STAGE TWO
PLAYS TO HELP JURIST
DECIDE PIRACY" CASE

New York, Aug. 5.-David Belasco will
stage two plays the first week in Oc-
tcber to aid United States Judge Holt
to decide suit for damages arising from
alleged plagiarism which Abraham Gold
knopf has brought against Belasco and
William C. de Mile. The plays are THE
Woman written by de Mile on Be
lasco's order, and Tainted Philanthro-
py," written by Goldknopf and rejected
by BeIasco before THE Woman was
produced by him.
The offer came as climax to a heated
argument between Belasco, Goldknopf.
and Adolph Freyer. the complainants'
during which Belasco declared
he was the victim of a conspiracy IA
thered by the Shuberts, and that the two
plays bore no other similarity than that
a picture of George Washington appears
IN both.
Goldknopf claims that Belasco and de
Mile ''pirated'' his play. after rejecting
Il. and rewrote 1t into The Woman"
Judge Holt announced that ne will at
tend the novel exhibition of evidence
offered by Belasco and will have the
aid in his decision OF Commissioner Gill
christ. Belasco guaranteed first-class
casts for both plays.

Pajan1as Suggested

Humanitarians Believe in This Way the Shell
Fish Would Be Unable to Bite Off
Each Others CLANS and Legs.

Her demands have not been taken up
here.
I'VE must remember that the cold
FLOODED animals are not so sensitive of
pain as the rm-blooded," Secretary
John p. Heap, of the Humane Society,
said last night.
This form of life, Holsters and crabs.
is very low" Mr.. Heap stated 1t is not
imbued with the same feelings as the
vegetable kingdom. Therefore. there is
in such cases as these suggested hardly
any cause for controversy
Complaints Received.
We have had complaints about such
cruelties as turning turtles on theil
backs and leaving them in that position
but fish and reptiles seldom AFFORD any
ground for complaint"
Mr.. Heap holds far different opin-
ion about oysters from that ex.
pressed by President John Craft, of the
Alabama Oyster Commission. Mr. Craft
said he believes the oyster, wheu swal-
lowed alive, suffers agonies unspeak-
able only because the succulent bivalve
has no vocal organs.
He would fairly shrek with pain
had he a voice. Mr.. Craft thinks.
Mr. Heap said he could hardly con-
ceive of so low a brute as the oyster
feeling any great degree of pain even
when it was being torn from its native
shell.
Dealers in crabs and Holsters have not
taken the patama suggestion seriously.
They have laughingly replied to ques-
tions as to the feasibility of the plan
that IF the ladies preferred to recon-
mend pajamas rather than hobble
Skirts pajamas would have the right
of way
The Washington herald., 1912-08-06

II the next time you go marketing, you
see a lobster or a crab clad in natty
psjamas, don't rub your eyes or oner
yourself to be. pinched TO see If you are
awake Just take it as matter o'
course.
For pajamas have been suggested by
ce rtain humanitarians as means to pre-
vent crabs. and Holsters from biting on
each others claws and legs and feelers
and whiskers while they are in captiv-
ity, the transitory state between the deep
hlue sea and the cooking pot At pres
ent Holsters generally have their claws
checked with small sticks of wood,
which are said 10 be painful assurers Of
quiescence, and the crabs are left free.
