Wr6the, wyf Of Thomas Wrothe, gent
Virginia ladye borne, here was
buried in We chauncell."
Despite the mix-up on dates and the
misspelling of names, it means that
the little Indian Princess is buried in
England, all right
So you see, Mrs. Wilson positively
is not the first American woman to be
accorded "princely or royal honors" on
a visit to England She is the second
one.
But wait minute. John Rolfe and
Rebeccah Pocahontas Rolfe had one
son-Thomas Rolfe. He lived for
many years in England, then came to
Virginia, where he married and ended
his days. From him are descended a
number Of distinguished Virginia fam
lilies, among them John Randolph, OF
Roanoke" the Rolfes and Bollings.
And now the romance Of Pocahontas
and Powhatan begins all over again
in London. l wonder if, as Mrs. Edith
Boiling Wilson rides with Kings and
Queens, in roal pomp and splendor,
herself received as royalty, said to be
the only woman ever so received in
any court in the Old World wonder
| say, il she has remembered that
three centuries ago about this time,
her Indian Princess ancestress, Poca-
hontas of the "Powtomack' country,
near Washington, was actually the
first American woman to be received
with royal acclaim, and that she lies
buried in English soil
The story of Mrs. Wilson's life is
more like a fairy romance than any
thing ever penned in book. Born
Of poor but honest parents" the story
Of her life might well begin, for the
Bollings were poor, plain country vii
lage people. Miss Edith Boiling was
very pretty, charming in every way, in
fact. She met Norman Gait, we'll
to-do jeweler, and married him, and
they settled down in Washington in a
small, quiet, well-appointed home.
They were church people, and did their
charities quietly. Mr.. Gait died, and
Mrs. Gait lived many years a widow
Four years and half ago Mrs. Wilson
died. Four years ago President VIII
son met Mrs. Gait at his own home,
when she was the guest Of his daugh-
ter Margaret, at Shadowlawn.
Three years ago, Dec. is, President
Wilson and Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait

dent. and two or three of them had
enormous wealth. But President Will
son selected the beautiful, modest
little lady who has an Indian Princess
for her ancestress. Mrs. Wilson went
from her quiet, conservative little
home into the White House, where, as
its Chatelaine, she has been the First
Lady of the Land par excellence. al,

two thirds of them were spent in
Washington, she had never been inside
the White House until after the first
Mrs. Wilson died.
Can you imagine anything any more
bewilderingly romatic, anything more
thrillingly enhancing, than this yok-
ing Of the beginning of things in the
New World, with the beginning OF
new things in the Old World, three
centuries later? And it is woman,
a plump little smiling woman, with
the black hair Of her Indian forbears,
who bow-knots them together.
After all, Old England does well to
throw aside the cast-iron precedents Of
her centuries to pile honors upon the
head of the descendant Of Pocahontas
that poor little Indian Princess who
faded and died in the stilted hot-house
atmosphere over there, and who hes
buried in English soil at Gravesend.--

NOT THE FIRST
Mrs. Wilson the Second American
Woman TO Receive Royal Hon0rs

Woman 10 Receive Royal HOn0rs
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is not the
first New World" lady "royally' re-
ceived in the Old World-not by about
three centuries.
Nearly three and quarter cen
turtles ago, there was born girl child
daughter TO a Chief of Chiefs, King
Powhatan, who was "Grand Sachem'
Of the tribes comprising the Pow
hatan Indians, and was crowned EN-
peror of the Indies" by Capt John
Smith. Presumably this little girl was
born at Powhata, near the site of the
present city of Richmond.
They gave the child the name OF
"Pocahontas," and at 10 years OF age
is chronicled by Capt. John Smith to
have been the fairest of feature and
the most charming in form OF all the
Indian maidcns he saw in the tide
water Valley Of Virginia, which COM
prised old Powhatan's kingdom. She
was born in 1896.
The story of her saving the life OF
Capt. John Smith, with the dramatic
announcement, is familiar TO every
school child. II has been discredited
in most of its particulars, but is re-
vived every once in while. 1t has
been one Of the stock tales OF our
early settlements in Virginia for the
last three centuries.
Pocahontas had varied and rather
picturesque career, having been KID
mapped by the whites and held as
hostage anent the return Of stolen
property and lot Of other faneied
wrongs OF the whites.
While held as hostage, Pocahontas
was converted to Christianity. That
was in 1913. She was baptized and
shristened Rebeccah. In April, 1914,
when about 10 years of age, Rebeceah
Pocahontas PoHhatan married Sohh
Rolfe, an English soldier Of fortune
who came to jamestown In May, 1910.
In 1914, John Rolfe took his pretty
Indian Princess wife TO London. Here
she was received with acclaim by roy
atty as the daughter Of an American
King" She was royalty treated, and
II is said that she was Of such sweet
manners and sparkling charm that she
captured the hearts Of all.
The poor little Princess did not live
long in the inclement English climate
however. She died March %, 1917, at

Shannon X Co.'S Letter

New York. December 4.-Local traders are against the market on the ground that with outside conditions so unsettled there will be little support from specu- iative interests, and that large offerings of spots will make their appearance. So far, however, advices with only here and there an exception state that spots are firmly held with nothing to suggest pres sure from that source. Demand is not active at the moment, but spot engage ments for both December and January are believed to be large and by no means covered as yet, so that the demand may presently take on more activity. Enough has already been sold, however, at very high prices to enable the farmer to hold the balance without being distressed for some time to come.
 Much of the selling today has come from local sources, and is not regarded of especially good character, and has helped to stiffen the technical position Exports were S4,OOO bales.-Post & Flagg.

New Orleans. December 4.-Advances nthe early trading cotton carried prices 25 to 32 points over the finals of yesterday, but the good tone did not last long and during the remainder of the session fluctuations were rapid within narrow limits, carrying the mar ket both above and below the level of yesterdays final quotations.
 The close was irregular 14 points up to If points down, compared with the last prices of yesterday.
 Early buying was encouraged by the very good Liverpool market and the strength of foreign exchange, but when the effect of these two things wore off the market had no special support and it commenced to sag under scat tered offerings. For a while in the early afternoon the tone was steady again under reports of a good demand for the better grades of spot in the markets of the interior. with offerings very small but the hard spot attracted fresh offerings under which the market broke to it's lowest levels, where it stood at net declines of II tc 2s points
 December traded at it's hest at 3a.51c which was a new high level, but the spot position was not really active al any stage of the session Spots were unchanged at 40c for midd1ing.

BAD WEATHER IN PROSPECT SENDSUP
 CORN IN THE PIT
Oats Made Fractional Gains With Provisions List 15c to 10c Up on Leading
 Items

Chicago. December 4--Corn averaged higher in price today, influenced chiefly by prospects of unfavorabe weather. The close was 1sc net lower to 1Ac advance with December s1 .s97s and May s1 $40 l.S4s. Oats gained s@ssc. In provisions the outcome varied from 15c decline to rise of 10c.
 Absence of selling pressure resulted and prices advanced sharply until atten- tion began to focus on reports that the coal strike might be settled. Then a decided break in values took place, &C., celerated by the fact that receipts of corn here today were larger and hog values on the down grade. Gossip that export sales of<grain were being cancelled had also temporary depressing effect. Of ferings, however, were readily absorbed and with a renewal of talk that Supplies appeared inadequate the market swing was upward at the finish.
 Oats merely followed the changes in the price of corn.
 Provisions were irregular Weakness in the hog market led to some selling, but was offset more or less by talk that the output of packing houses might be greatly lessened through coal shortage

DON'T FORGET HOTEL
 LA SALLE IN CHICAGO
ev A..oeiated Pres.

Chicago, December 4--Managers Of chi- cago's biggest hotels today showed no ir,- dications of following the action Of the Efotel La Salle, one of the largest in the citv. which yesterday ordered sweeping reduction in tho prices of rooms and food. Ernest J. Stevens. manager of the hotel, explained today that the reductions were made in the hope of starting a general movement ''back towards reasonable profits
 T don't know how to get reduction of prices unless some one starts it" MT. stevens said. Everybody knows that this is a day of extortion. Get it while the getting is good, seems to be every bodvs motto.
 Business has never been so good as it is now and will continue to be good fos the next year. But we are cutting prices because we want to be fair with the puo- lie. .rhe time to cut prices is when busi- ness is at it's best.
 "The hotels arc, the barometer of nusi- ness. If the hotels start cutting prices other business will follow
