Philadelphia. Feb. 27.-Mrs Thomas r.
Marshall, wife of the Vice President

Trenton to call on Gov Wilson. She
said she was mighty glad that her hus-

refused by Coy. Wilson, and she drifted
from this statement to another. that she
didn't agree with Mrs. Wilson's idea Of
dressing on Thousand dollars a year.

Cigarette Smoking Under Ban Of Censorship

Mrs. John B. Henderson, who is the
arbiter of dancing and dancers in
Washington, has always been opposed
to the practice. 1t is said she re-
quested a fair smoker to go outside.
Lady Alan Johnston, daughter OF
Mrs. James Pinchot, is one Of the de-
tenders of the weed, and smokes
when and wherever it strikes her
fancy. She even pulled her cigarettes
while riding in an automobile from
one place to another.
Lady Johnston struck the first note
in the battle some time ago, when
she offered her cigarette case to 9th.
er guests at a luncheon. The hostess
was a crusader, and is said to have
requested Lady Johnston, who hap.
pened to be the guest Of honor, not to
smoke,
Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh, who has
recently completed her million-dollar
palace on Sixteenth street, has pro-
vided little balconies from her ball
room windows for the men to smoke
between dances. If the lady guests
wish to smoke they have to go out
side also.
Miss Helen Taft, at a recent lunch
con, displayed her ~displeasure openly
when cigarettes were passed.

Ice Skating a Real Fad in Society at Capital

THAT part Of Washington society
which delights in outdoor winter
sports has started a movement to dis
cuss the ways and can Of promot-
ing ice skating. To that end invita-
tions we're, sent out by a committee
of interested men and women for a
meeting which was held in the ban
uuet hall Of one of the large hotels.
It is hoped the feeble efforts OF Jack
Frost" in Washington may be supple
mented and real ice skating provided
tor those who wish.
The tidal basin at the foot of the
Washington monument is unsafe at
best. and then there are only a few
DAYS, skating on 1t through the win

somewhat because Of the almost I'M
precedented cold weather In this re-
zion. There are many expert skaters
In washington, who come from all
parts of the world. Most Of them be-

not a few are people who have spent

Strange Sounds Come from Smithsonian Building

F you are passing across the front
I Of the Smithsonian Institution at
midnight and hear strange cries com
ing from the Byzantine, Norman or
rounded Gothic towers, buttresses,
battlements, groined arches and
cornices, keep your nerve. The moon
may be floating through the southern
sky. Now 1t will be hidden under
dense cloud masses, and then 1t will
burst through the black mist and cast
its silver sheen over the heavens and
the earth. Against all this, the long
red sandstone buildings, dark but for
a watchman's lamp in the central yes
tibue, will be submitted. 1t looks
gloomy and lonesome. One almost
feels the damp and stagnant vapor
that would rise from the moat around
1t, IL a moat were there.
You can reassure yourself that you
are not in the depths Of a haunt
ed forest and before some dismal
medieval castle by looking ~northward
to catch the glitter of the lights in
the post office tower or by listening
to the purf and soft ripple Of the
fountain not far removed from the
northwest corner Of the building.
The sounds that have stopped you,
and it may be, chilled you, come from

RECTOR QUITS SUDDENLY NJ. ALLEREs TO RETIRE SIP. TO BUILD NEW LINE
WILL CROSS TEHACHAPl RANGE
TO RIVAL SANTA FEE.
Merger of Southern and Union
Pacific Caused Move.

San Francisco, Cal.-The Chron-
icle says that the Southern Pacific
company finally has acquired the last
right of way for a low grade line over
the Tehachapi mountains between Mo-
jave and Kern City. The line, which
will be begun Immediately, calls for
an expenditure of $1,000 900. The
United States supreme courts recent
decision on the merger on the South
ern and Union Pacific railroads is d.
rectly responsible, according to the
Chronicle, for the building of the new
line.
The building of the low grade track
is expected to bring about a vigorous
fight between the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe for transcontinental
business. At present these lines have
joint use of the only track over the
Tehachapi. The Southern Pacific
owns the present high grade line and
for several years it has planned to
double it. That purpose has o been
abandoned in favor of the low grade
project.
To have the right of ownership Of
the new line, the Southern Pacific has
decided, according to the Chronicle, to
shut out the Santa Fe from participa-
ton in the cost of construction and
will endeavor to force the Santa Fe to
abide by it's terms as to the use Of
the track.

FRANCE TO ELECT NEW PRESl-
DENT NEXT MONTH.
Among the Few Known Candidates Is
Alexandra Rihot, Who Has an
American Wife.

Paris, France.-Four weeks hence
France will have elected a new presi-
dent, who, unless something unfore-
seen happens, will continue in office
for a term of seven years. M. Fal-
Heres, the present holder of the office,
has made all preparations for retire
ment, and has engaged modest apart
ments not far from the American I'm
bassy. He expects to divide his time
between Paris and his little estate
Loupillon, in southern France, where
he produces in his vineyards about
600 casks of wine yearly.
To those who are accustomed to
the feverish activity, aggressive cam
paigning and intense public excite
ment invariably preceding a presiden-
tial election in the United States, the
universal apathy and complete lack of
interest in the coming election, as
displayed throughout France, would
be a surprise and disappointment.
But it must be remembered that in
France the president is not elected by
the people, as in the United States,
but by the senate and the chamber of
deputies, meeting in joint session as
national assembly at Versailles, Jan
uary IT, once every seven years.
Among those who fit into this class
and who may be therefore considered
as possible candidates, Paul Descha-
mel, president of the chamber, and
me of its bright lights for % years,
is perhaps the foremost. He is 55
years of age and his family has
great wealth. A notable candidate
from the senate is Alexandra Ribot,
three times premier and a man held
in high esteem. His wife was Miss
Mary Burch of Chicago and she has
assisted him much in his public ca
reer. M. Rlbot is nearly II years old.
Other candidates are the president of
the senate, M. Dubost; Leon Bour-
geois, Theophile Delcasse, Premier
Poincare and Paul Domer.
