DINNER STORIES.

The great Rabbi Gamaliel once brought
the scriptures of his nation to the Roman
Emperor, Hadrian, who, after study of
the sacred books, rashly retorted to the
rabbi that in the story of Genesis the
Creator was little better than thief, be-
couse He had stolen one of Adams ribs.
GamalieI was bewildered and perplexed,
but his daughter rose to the occasion.
Let me answer the Emperor" she
begged, 'and I will vindicate our holy
writings
So on the next day she presented her
self before IIadrian
go, Emperor of the Romans" she cried,
''truly a terrible thing has happened,
wherefore we invoke thy aid"'
Hadrian was greatly concerned, and
asked what is was. The Hebrew maiden
replied that at the dead hour Of midnight
thief had subtly and stealthily entered
theiI abode and had stolen away a silver
fsagon, although II was true. she added
that he had left a golden dagon in its
place.
''why," cried the Roman Emperor
"that was no robber. but a benefactor
would that. such a one might rob me
toor'
The Hebrew maiden smiled a subtle
oriental smile. ABR she said, looking
down and blushing sweetly. why, then
do you blame the Creator and acuse Him
of theft, seeing that, If He took a rit
from Adam, He left him Eve instead?'

Richmond, Va, Feb. 13-The Asso-
citation for the Preservation of Vir-
ginia Antiquities, of which Mrs. T.
Taylor Ellyson, wife of the lieutenant
governor of the state, is president, and
to which the city of Richmpnd has
turned over for reservation and preser-
walton the old Marshall home, which
has been dedicated to the memory Of
its distinguished owner, once chief
justice of the supreme court Of the
United States. recently held its annual
meeting in the old homestead, where
Mrs. Ellyson was honored by being
reelected to office for another term.
The house was owned and occupied
by John Marshall while he was chief
Justice. 1t will hereafter be held in
trust by the association for memorial
purposes, but title win revert back to
the city of Richmond in the event the
association ever ceases to be a cor
poration under the laws of the state
Of Virginia, or upon its failure properly
to maintain and care for the house.

tice for a number of years. II finally
came into the possession of the city
of Richmond, and there was constant
danger Of its being removed. The as
ISOLATION, through the efforts of Mrs.
Ellyson, made successful effort to re-
store it from so untimely fate The
city finally granted permanent care
and custody of the building to the as
ISOLATION.
The ladies Of the association are
now making an effort to secure funds
for the preservation of the building.
This Is being done mainly by appeals
to the bar associations of the different
states. The American Bar Associa-
ton, the Richmond, Norfolk and Ports
mouth city Bar Association, the Bar
Association of Charleston, s. c., and
others have already taken an interest
in the work, and additional appeals
will be made to those that have not.
Members of the Marshall family are
also taking considera BILE interest in the
undertaking.

The association has restored the
building and has furnished it as nearly
as possible as it was when occupied
by it's original owner.
The association has been much en-
couraged by the prompt and generous
response made by the descendants and
admirers Of John Marshall, to whom
appeals were made for the gift or
loan of articles of interest associated
with him as soldier, statesman and
jurist. The association has secured
portraits of him and of members Of
his family, painted by prominent
artists of the day; books which he was
accustomed to use in his hours of rec
reation, and his official robe of Office.
Many other heirlooms Will eventually
find their way into this collection,
which it is hoepd to make the most
complete and attractive of any ever
assembled in honor of the great jurist.

part Of the last century, and was

LEGISLATIVE EVENTS
 FOR THE PAST WEEK

At the last session of the legisla' ture, through the activities of the
 Christian Scientists the bill failed oi
 passage, largely because of an am
 endment inserted by the efforts oi the scientists, which according to
 the strict protagonists of the medical
 idea, vitiated the bill. This year the
 Scientists seek to have the bill pass
 ed if at all, with an amendment sat-
 isfactory to them.
 Chairman Whipple of the house committee presided over the session, and the opening argument against the bill was made by George J. Stone man of this city, former president of the Arizona Bar Association. MT. Stoneman said there was no popular demand for any such drastic legisla- ton, and that the demand for it came from the medical men of the state.
 Judge Stoneman was followed by w. R. Mattox of Boston, a member of the Christian Science church in that city, who stated that contrary to the general belief the Christian Scientists were not dilatory in re- porting the presence of infectious and contagious diseases to the pro perly constituted health authorities, and had no quarrel with the doctors All they asked was to be let alone in the practice of the faith and be- lief, and he believed they should be- There were others present who are in favor of the changes proposed in the proposed measure among them being Allen Jaynes, clerk of the Unit ed States Court, Judge E. w. Wells of Prescott, Bruce Perely of Bisbee. and c. w. Cate, president of the To- cal Christian Science church There were no doctors present and no in favor of the bill were made before the committee Further hearings of the committee will be held in order to allow the evidence in favor of the bill to be introduced.

SCIENTISTS OPPOSE
 NEW MEDICAL BILL

PHOENIX, Feb. 1S.-The senate chamber yesterday morning present ed a great deal different appearance from the same chamber in the after noon. There was a quiet time on hand during the morning, for the Christian Scientists were arrayed with soft spoken words against the medical bill introduced into the house some time ago by Lynch of Graham by request The bill provid- es for the organization of a medical board composed of two allopaths, one homeopathic, one osteopathic, and one eclectic physician, who shall from time to time as a medical board adopt such rules as to enable 1t to carry into effect the provisions of the act. It is planned to shut out from the practice of medicine or the art of healing all who cannot con form to the rulings of the board, and is aimed to provide for a stringent enforcement of the orders of the medical board with regard to contag- ious and infectious diseases, and to provide for the punishment of any who attempt to set up practice oi healing by any means whatsoever without the provisions of the act.

amending in some manner, the State Constitution. Altogether, there have been twelve such measures, two oi which made their appearance yes terday. The one in the House is a result of the granting of women of the State the right to vote and pro- poses to amend Section ?, Article ,, so that women may hold public office. A second amendment was proposed in the Senate, by Senator Willis, of Navajo county, who by a bill seeks to amend section 7, article 5, by providing that major ity of the members of the state legislature may pass a bill over the veto of the Governor. The pre- sent law provides that two-thirds of the votes are necessary.
 They're Good Spenders.
 Senator C. B. Woods bill to en- courage County Fairs, while before the committee of the whole of the Senate, was amended from the form 1t was originally introduced, by pro viding that the levy for a county fair fund, shall be created on the basis of $50 on each million dollar valuation instead of one hundred dollars. Senator Sims, of Cochise, that the maximum limit be placed as the levy in his county would raise larger fund than would be required, and to quote him, "The Cochise County Supervisors is a Board that would spend as much as the law will allow"
