Pocahontas appears to have been
a nickname OF the Indian Princess,
her real name being Alatoaca; while
she was baptized (at jamestown on
April IL, 1913 under that cf Re
bccca. Her father was Powhatan, a
leading Werowance or chief OF At
tanoughkomouck, as the Indians
called that part of Virginia. He
lived at Werowocomoco, about a
dozen miles north of Jamestown,
and is said to have had Twelve
wives, and in 1912 twenty sons and
4 dozen daughters. OF the latter,
Alatoaca or Pocahontas was his
favorite, and she was probably the
youngest. She was born in 1895;
50 she was only twelve years old at
the time Of her rescue of Captain
Smith. Later, after Smiths return
to ENGLAND she saved the life of

New InfieIder Appears.

Stofer, the new Indian infielder who
arrived Sunday, worked at second in
his first game here and created very
favorable impression with the fans.
He found but four chances in playing
his position, but he handled them all
perfectly. At bat he waited them
out and when he swung at the ball
he hit straight away. A single and
a walk in four times to the plate was
his record for the day. Once he foul
ed out to Lingle, but on his first time
up he hit the apple on the nose Smith
pulling it down.
With Stofer at second, Abbott again
retired from first in favor of Tommy
Giffin. Abb worked on the third base
coaching line for one and one third
innings. Fleming sent him to the
bench in the second round for enter
ing protest against a decision at
third that seemed to look bad to every.
body in the stands. Wetzel, in at
tempting to take third, was thrown
out by Lingle. Abbott claimed that

story.
Granting that the tobacco in the

combustion of the paper harmless in
its effect. does not prove that the habit
is not injurious to the users. The
worst trouble is not in the tobacco or
the paper. 1t lies in the shallow breath
ing of the smoker. This weakens the
lungs, impoverishes the blood. paralyZes
the intercostal muscles, leads to prem

lawson Purdy, head of the assess

THE CRISIS AT HAND.

Following the sharp engagements
between Mexican federals and con-
stitutiona!ists at Paredon and Ter
yuche, it was announced, apparently
on the highest authority, that a large
number of federal officers had been
executed by orders of General Villa.
Further, it is declared-probably
on not so good authority-that Villa
intends when he captures Mexico
City to execute a large number OF
the high officers of the Huerta
regime, and Spanish citizens who
have been involved in the cientifico
conspiracies that overturned the Ma
dero government.
1t is not many weeks before the
world will have chance to know
whether Villa is the blood-handed
bandit and murderer he has been
painted, or sane, moderate, earnest
man who fights as a means to get
ting peace. 1t is hardly conceivable
that he will undertake reprisals on
IN extensive scale. That would
ALLEVIATE the sympathy and support
of all civilization instantly, and COM
pei this Government to withhold
from Carranza the recognition and
approval that Huerta needed, and
with which he might have made his
administration reasonably secure.
Yet the possibility that Villa may
mediate, and Carranza may acqui-
esce in, a program of such atrocious
reprisals, should be considered from
more points of view than one. Peo-
pie whose memories go back to our
own days of early reconstruction,
know that President Johnson was
animated by an intense eagerness TO
infict summary punishment on the
leaders of the Confederacy. He was
tremendously bitter against Davis,
his cabinet, and some of the parlia-
mentary and military leaders; and
he would, had rein been given to his
purposes, have treated the Southern
leaders very much as Villa and Car
rama are now reported to contem-
plate treating their enemies. john
son was not without support, either,
in his purpose of intense hostility
and condign punishment of the Con-
federacy's most prominent figures.
Before indulging excessive denun-
citation of Villa and Carranza on the
strength of unconfrmed reports, it is
at least worth while to look back a
generation into our own history and
examine the ideals of moderation and
charity that were set up by persons
high in the councils of this civilized
and Christian government.
The Washington times., 1914-05-21

But what is the actual result OF the
liberality that has been shown to our
traction magnates? The actual show
ing is that they have made capital-
zation and speculative playthings OF
every bit of advantage and oppor-
tunity Congress has given them. In
stead of assuming that the public
was entitled to little in return for
its great gifts, they have given the
public the very least it could be al
lowed under the rigid letter of the
bond, and taken all the rest to the
purposes of private enrichment and
speculation.
How much longer?
The Washington times., 1914-05-21

Increased efficiency in the public
service, as well as humane treat
ment for Government employees, de-
mands speedy action on a retirement
plan for superannuated or disabled
workers under Uncle Sam
That Is the platform on which the
United States Civil Service Retire
ment Association tonight will launch
a national campaign for a contribu-
tory retirement plan.
In this respect the association
differs from other organizations
working for a straight pension. But
L is believed such a fund would fur-
nish an object-lesson to Congress
and would demonstrate the good
faith of employees in urging Con-
gress to enact a retirement law.
That a large proportion OF de-
partmental employees in Washington
now are no longer capable of giving
even approximately efficient service,
and that their salaries nave been SO
inadeouate over their long periods OF
faithful employment that they have
been able to save little or nothing. Is
asserted by officers OF the associa-
