ONE OF MaRsHALL's OWN
vice-President Tells Good Story on
Himself, So 1t Surely
Must Be True.

VicePresident Marshall tells this
story on himself, and it must be true:
I'VE were attending some sort Of a
function in town in North Caro-
lima, Mrs. Marshall and IT, he said
There was convention of rail-
road engineers in progress there. At
the railway station we were noticed
by the leader of a band of about Is
engineers, and he Immediately came
across the platform to greet me- /
shook hands with all of the men but
one, who remained on the other side
of the platform. Finally the leader
of the crowd spied him.
Hey, Jim. Come over here and
shake hands with the vice-president,
he said.

hands. Then he turned to his part

to present a, report in which shall be
included the number of cases of diph-
liberia, typhoid fever. and scarlet fever
the past month
Where it is possible, the agricultural
department will capture cats that may
have frequented the disease-stricken
neighborhoods, and study these ami
mails.
One of the officials of the agricul-
tural department has invented a trap
with which it is hoped cats can be
captured. 1t is to be baited with fish
heads and other delicacies.
An order was issued by the commits
sioners, at General Johnstons sugges-
ton, for the poundmaster to kill all
cats sent to him
The recent Georgetown diphlheria
epidemic has been shown not to be
caused by cats. The stricken children
were from the same school, and caught
the germs playing together.
Agricultural department officials are
of the opinion that children who fen.
die their pet cats are liable to infec-
ton from germs carried from neigh
borhood having an epidemic, and for
that reason will carry on it's extensive
experiment and investie ton.
No money has been set aside for
the investigation, although an attempt
has been recently made to get the
Rockefeller institute to take up the
investigation. At present the work
will be done by the officials OF the ag-
ricultural department.
Mrs. Henry l.. West, wife of former
Commissioner West, and president of
the Washington Cat club, is not thor
oughly in accord with the methods in
vogue for the determination OF cats
Mrs. West, in fact, does not thin i
much Of the traps which the health
/ department has on hand to kidnap
stray cats.
While the health department may
be doing a great work in the extermi-
naticn of vagabcnd CATS" said Mrs.
West, Il do not exactly approve of the
methods used
There have been many pet cats
missing the past year, said Mrs.
West, and | should not be surprised
1t some of the cats destroyed by the
health department were the ones that
people are locking for Six thousand
one hundred and thirty-two cats were
killed during the past fiscal year, ac-
cording to statistics
When the health department cap
lures q Cat it is killed, and that is the
end Of 1t. The agricultural depart
ment intends to go furthr-. It plans
to have the brain of the cat extracted
and sent to its laboratories, where
examination will be made to sec If the
cat has been afflicted with rabies. The
fur also will undergo rigid test to
determine if it was infected with
germs OF diphtheria, or scarlet, or ty-
phoid fever
While the effort to determine If
eats transmit disease is a new idea.
the health departments campaign for
the determination of all stray cats is
an old one
When Gen. John A. Johnston was a
commissioner the District many
complaints against stray cats were re-
ceived

To Keep Lemons.

AS lemons are thing that vary SO
much in price at different times of
the year, they may be purchased
when cheap and kept for months, if
little care is taken. Put layer
of fine, dry sand about an inch deep
in an earthenware vessel. Place a
row of lemons on this, with the stalk
ends downward, and be very careful
that the lemons do not touch. Cover
them with another layer of sand about
three inches deep, and on this layer
place another lot of lemons; and so
on until the jar is full. Store in a
cool, dry place.

Mrs. n. w. j. Ham (tcp) ard Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet.

| Gainesville, Ga, June Mrs. Helen
| Dortch Longstreet, widow of the
famous Confederate leader, has lost
| her spectacular fight for retention as
postmistress at Gainesville, and Mrs
H. w. J. Ham, widow of the great
Georgia humorist, "Snollygoster" Ham,
! has been named to succeed her. Mrs.
LCngStreet is removed because of her
"pernicious political activity" she hav-
ing supported Colonel Roosevelt in the
last campaign. She is considering sew
era1 offers of literary work and will
probably accept one of them.
There were three Thousand names
on the petition indorsing Mrs. Ham
when it reached the president. Every
man in Gainesville to whom the pc
t:tion was presented signed it quickly
and with pleasure, for Mrs. Ham is a
woman of the old school, whom people
delight to honor. She is both brilliant
and capable, and will unquestionably
keep the Gainesville office in a high
state of efficiency.
Mrs. Longstreet is one of the most
prominent women in public life in the
South She is not only a postmistress
in the delicate art of politics, but she
has long stood for all policies that
represent the upbuilding of her state
and section.
In spite of this, however, it is said
that the citizens of Gainesville had
long wanted a change. probably on
dCCOuHI VI the fIaCI liidI OeOfgldnS
are firm believers in the adage that
ito the victors belong the spoils," and
Mrs. Longstreet is decidedly not a
democrat.
As the wife of the brilliant and
beloved humOrist of other days. Mrs.
Ham is known and respected through
out Georgia. She has never before
taken an active interest in politics and
public life. Her present prominence
has been thrust upon her, as matter
of fact, by her friends The pestoffice
at Gainesville is a small affair, but it
has become of nation wide Importance
through the personality of Mrs, Long
street.
Mrs. Ham is member of the
Methodist church, a worker in the mis-
sionary society, a teacher in the young
mems Sunday school class and presi-
dent of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union. If she has a fad in
the world it is evidenced in her oppo-
sition to cigarets. At her suggestion
her husband introduced the first bill
ever before the Georgia Legislature to
restrict the sale of cigarets to very
young boys.

New York, June S.-Deciding to give
up her butterfly existence, Miss Evelyn
Provost, who has taken the .tage name
of Adele Rey, has gone INFO moving
pictures. This pretty young thing had
a pretty secure position N society, but
she got tired of that sort of a life.
The other day a curious reporter
asked her why she had gone into NOV
ing pictures.
WHY" she repeated "You see l
believe that moving pictures are going
to be the greatest field, from a fnan-
cial point of view, in America. 1t has
SO many advantages. In the first
place, it. is an all the-year-round job.
In the second place you see yourself
as others see you, which is an advan-
tage which the ordinary actress does
not have. More and more actors and
great actresses are joining moving
picture concerns for the above reasons.
Failures are very rare. Instances
of persons working and rehearsing for
a play for three months and then,
maybe, playing for a week are I'M

Washington, June S.-Did Henry P.
Davidson, a leading member of the
firm of J. P. Morgin & Co, say that
the withdrawal of the United States
government from the Chinese loan was
a piece of politics calculated to appeal
to the mob?
An important New York news
paper insists that Davidson made that
statement and several others equally
as Objectionable, from the presidents
point of view. Davidson himself de-
MES that he said anything about the
president or the policies of the admin
istration that was not complimentary.
In fact, Davidson denies having said
anything at all.
The trouble started when there ap-
peared a few days ago a supposed in
terview with Davidson IN the New
York paper. In regard to the Chinese
loan the financier is quoted as hav-
ing said:
Russian bankers come and tell me
our government must be crazy, but l
can now replx~-Not so. We merely
have a new foreign policy
LAS a matter of fact President Will
sons action was a mere piece of poll
tics to make the administration solid
with the populace by blow against
the interests, regardless of the conse
quences.
1.-The American governments policy
is perfectly clear. 1t is to act against
the interests"
In the interview Mr.. Davidson is
made to say many other things, some
of them extremely uncomplimentary to
Secretary of State Bryan.
The supposed interview created some
little excitement in Washington, but
this was soon quieted when the Nor
gan firm telegraphed Mr.. Bryan that
Mr.. Davidson (who is now in Europe)
denies having given an interview of
any sort The firm also assured the
secretary of the state of its friendship
for the administration.
The New York newspaper, however,
insists that it quoted Mr.. Davidson cor
rectly, and hints that somebody belong
in the Ananias club.

COTTON STATES
WILL PROBE THE
SALARY LIMIT
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF
RUMOR THAT PENSACOLA AS
ISOLATION is VIOLATING RULES
OF THE LEAGUE HAS BEEN
LAUNCHED.

A Jackson. Miss, special says: AS
a result of the meeting of the board of
directors of the Cotton States league
held in Meridian Friday, a thorough
probing will be made of the rumors
that the Pensacola association is vio-
lating the salary limit.
President ReduS was instructed TO
gather all the evidence obtainable,
submit the matter to the National
Commission, If necessary, and in event
the association is found guilty it will
mean forfeiture of franchise, forfeit
money and a stiff fine.
A majority of the directors ex-
pressed the opinion that the Pensacola
salary roll compares somewhat favor
IDLY with that Of the average Southern
league team. In 4act, several of the
players were in the Southern league
last year. For instance, Pitcher Bonn
is known to- have received a salary of
$3.50 per month in 1912, and was sold
to Cleveland for $4,000. In view of
that ten per cent clause the assump-
ton is natural that he is now getting
a salary of s275 per month.
McGi1 was on the Mobile pay roll
last year at 5000 per month. He is
listed with Pensacola at 800 per
month.
Manager Hamilton was $500 per
month man last year. The pay roll
at Pensacola shows him getting $3.50
per month.
Charley Frank paid Gudger SITS per
month with the Pelicans last season.
This year he is credited with a salary
Of 800 per month. Berger's contract
with Vicksburg in 1912 was S135 per
month. He is also being paid 500 per
month by Pensacola, according to the
sworn salary list.

into the job of distributing committee
places among nearly 800 democrats,
thing good" Mr.. Underwood probably
has listened to more hard luck stories
in the past month than anybody
outside of home for the destitute.
TRIBUTE TO DIPLOMACY.
The fact. that the majority of the
the committee berths handed them is
a tribute to the diplomacy of Mr. I'm
derwood and his colleagues on the
ways and means committee.
Next to patronage, the average
house member wants a good commit
tee assignment. 1t adds to his
standing in Washington and at home.
If the member is enable to return to
the wool hat boys and point with
pride to a seat on one of the big
house committees, the hit is bigger
than if the member is forced to report
that he drew a dinky committee, which
seldom meets, and is allowed to exist
merely to provide a chairmanship
clerk for some aspiring democrat.
The hopes and fears of the vari-
Gus democrats, prior to the announce
ment of the committee lists, were car
ried to Mr.. Underwood. Congressman
Jinx pointed out conclusively why he
should go on Rivers and Harbors in
teaQ or Disposition or useless PapeFS.
Con gressman Bunk wanted appropria-
tons, would take naval affairs, but
could not see his way clear to accept
Expenditures in the Department of
Labor, since the department had had
little to expend.
Perhaps half of the. membership
grunted and grumbled when the COM
mittee assignments were announced. A
few were entirely satisfied, others half
satisfied, and a minority absolutely
peeved. Every member took his medi-
cine, however, and Mr.. Underwood
now has a breathing spell.
Two years ago when the committees
were made up a city member from the
poorer section of one of the big cities
was given a place on Agriculture. He
hunted out the house leaders and
thusly:
Look ahere, you've given me the
committee on Agriculture, and there
amt blade of grass in my district.
The leaders said they would see
what could be done about it, The |
was switched to education.
We'll I'll be d. again COM |
planned the member. Nov, they've put
me on education, and l haven't been
inside of a school house since 1 was
eleven years old"
1t illustrates what Mr.. Underwood |
and his colleagues on the Ways and
Means committee have been up against |
in distributing the committee pie /
among some 290 democrats, and why |
the majority leader is smiling today. |
