REGARDED AS HAPPY CHOICE
Washington Approves Wilson's APP
pointment of John Shelton williams.

Washington Approves Wilson's An
poinfment of John SHELTON Williams.
Washington. March 1S.-The main
feature of White House news here to-
day was the nomination of John SkeI-
ton Williams, of Richmond, to be as
sistant secretary OF the treasury, and
the continued gossip centring around
the probable appointment OF Thomas
Nelson Page and Colonel Joseph E.
Willard to foreign posts.
So far as the Williams appointment
is concerned, there was general
voice of appreciation heard around
Washington when 1t became known
that the VirGinian was to become one
of the riGht-hand men to Secretary
McAdoo. That man of Mr.. Will
liamss high financial standing would
accept a place that only pays about
$1,000 year was generally comment
ed upon. President Wilson is given
credit for having made a most fortu
nate appointment and one that will
be most accepta BILE.
1t should be noted In this connec-
ton that 1T was just ten minutes after
o'clock this morning when the two
Virginia Senators entered the White
House. Within an hour the Williams
nomination, on a neatly printed slip,
was given the newspaper mon on duty
there.
You may say" Senator Swanson re-
piled when asked If he and Senator
Martin had Endorsed Mr.. Williams.
that the President invited us to ex-
press ourselves on the matter. We
did so. and the nomination followed
That is about all there is to it"
In regard TO the Page willard mat
ter, Senator Swanson said again to-
day that he knew only what he had
read in the papers about 1t. and would
express no opinion.
One or two other members of the
delegation think 1t is much ado about
nothing. and that there is no reason
why both Colonel Willard and Mr..
Page may not each receive foreign
posts IL the President wishes to name
them. While there may be trouble
over future nominations growing out
OF this matter, this particular Incident
is quiet to- might. p. H. MEG.

Easter Early This Year.

Easter Sunday for 1913 will happen On
March 23. A writer in the ST. Louis
Post Dispatch says. Easter bonnets will
blossom earlier this year than they have
since 1886 and earlier than they will
burst INTO bloom for another century.
The earliest date on which Easter can fall
is March p, but that hasn't happened
since 1878 This year it will be March
"a, the same date on which it fell in 1856
and rS4s. The Rev. Father Martin 5.
Brennan, a noted ST. Louis astronomer,
told a Post-Dispatch reporter that tables
computed by mathematiclans have not
been carried far enough to show just how
long it will be before Easter again falls
on so early a date, but that it will not oc-
cur until some time after the year 2ooo.
The rule for fixing the date of Easter
originally was that it was the Sunday after
the first full moon following the equinox.
The equinox falls on March 81. Accord
ing to a ruling of the council at Nice, Il
March 2I is a Saturday and there is full
moon on that day, the following day will
be Easter This year March 81 will be
Friday and there will be full moon Sat
urday.

No Small Pox in Frederick.

Fears over the case of reported small
poX were arrested premaurelv. when a
representative from the State Board of
Health came to Frederick and reported
that the case was not small pox. The
case which caused the suspicion was that
of Mrs Margaret Biddnger. who lives in
Middle Alley and who recently filed a
suit for a divorce from her husband, Carl
Biddnger
Mrs Biddinger was first treated by
DR.. c. s. Brooks, who thought that the
case was suspicious. and he called Dr.
Ira !. McCurdv. who in turn called in
DR.. Harry p Fahrney. They felt reas-
onably certain that the case was not
smallpox, but decided to ask the State
Beard Of Health to send a man here.
DIR. c. w. G.. Roher, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Communicable Diseases, arrived
here a few days ago. He was met by
DIR. McCurdy, and together they visited
the Blddinger home After a full invest-
CATION, DR. McCurdy gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
The suspected case under obServa-
ton for the past few days has been def
nitely diagnosed by the State Board of
Health as not being smallpox inlec-
tiouS."
