CONCERN WAS FOR MOTHER
OF Course Little Frank Was Not the
Least Bit Afraid of the
Darkness.

The family has moved from a gas
lighted house to one where there II
electricity, and baby Frank, Standing
on tip toe, can just reach the two push
buttons inside the ruoins. They IRE a
source OF great amusement aud he
never falls to press them whenever
he passes.
A few nights < his mother came
from the upper rooms and announced
bedtime. Little Florence ran upstairs
Immediately. Frank. up to his usual
tricks. pushed the button. and off went
the light. The overwhelming darkness
frightened the little fellow. After u
minute he asked Mother, are you
there2" Yes, dear" said his amused
mother. Another pause. Mother, are
you fraid?"
"No. dear. are your"
"No, / amt 'fraid. but you better

sit, but 1t appears from Mr.. Pintard's
diary that, on this night, at least, there
were chairs In the rooms where Mrs.
Washington saw her guests, for latter
they were seated" tea and coffee, and
plum and plain cake, were dispensed
by tie attending servants. She re-
marked, while speaking Of the days
so pleased the general (by which title
she always designated her husband)
as the friendly greetings Of the gentle
men who called upon him at noon.
To an inquiry by the President
whether such o~oservances were casual
or customary, 1t was answered that
New Years visiting had always been
maintained In the city. He paused a
moment, and then observed: 1.-The
highly favored situation Of New York
will, In the process of years, attract
numerous emigrants, who will gradual
ly change its ancient customs and
manners; but, whatever changes take
place, never forget the cordial and
cheerful observance of New Years
day."
Mrs. Washington had stood by his
side as the visitors arrived and were
presented. and when the clock In the
hall was heard striking O., she ad-
vanced, and with a complacent smile
said. The general always rstires at
3, and / usually precede him ;" upon
which all arose, made their parting
Solicitations, and withdrew.

new YEAR LEvEE
President Washington's Recep-
ton at the White House.
Recorded, Greatly Pleased the
First Chief Executive.

"In the Republican Court" a volume
published in 1854 by d. Appleton &
Company dealing with the administra-
ton of Washington, appears the fol-
lowing interesting description of New
Years activities Of 1890, and partic-
ularly the manner Of observing New
Years at the White House, where
Martha Washington, the ever-con-
siderate spouse, dismissed her guests
at 9 o'clock i'm order that her gen
erals slumber might not be interfered
with:
The winter Of 1890 was warmer
than any which the oldest inhabitants
could remember. In the last week of
December and the first of January
gardeners and farmers on the island
Of Manhattan were blowing, and women
appeared In the streets of the city In
their summer dresses. The pleasant
custom of making New Years calls had
long obtained In most of the countries
Of continental Europe. and 1t was
brought to New York by both the Dutch
and the Huguenots, who had preserved
Il as one of their peculiar institutions,
which never could be naturalized In
towns Of a more purely English origin
and population.
On Friday, the first OF January,
100. we are informed by the ate
venerable John Pintard, who was then
q young man Of fashion, and a close
observer, the President was waited
spon by the principal gentlemen of the
metropolis. The day was uncemmonly
mild and agreeable. even for that year
of perpetual verdure, and the great
festival Of friendship was never kept
more universally or with a ivelier
qualification. The visitors Of the
President, after an interchange of the
usual s~alutations of the day, withdrew.

Buffalo, n. Y, March l7.--The police
and the sheriffs office to-day were try,
ing to Jsolve the problem OF how bar
silver worth between $500 and $1,000
camef to be buried ON the farm OF
Lewis Salmon, on the east bank Of the
Niagara river near LaSallc.
Salmon called on a Buffalo ieweler
yesterday with sample OF the metal
which he had turned up with spade.
Learning that il was real bullion. Sal
mon reported his find to the police. and
accompanied by an officer, returned to
the farm.
They dug up a bars each six inches
long, three inches wide and half an
inch thick. The soil showed no sign
that the bullion had been recently
buried. The bars were found at vary
ing depths, from one 70 four feet be-
low the ground level
Representatives, of the William A.
Rogers company of Niagara Falls, n. Y
and the Oneida Community company
of Niagara Falls, Ont. are expected
here to-day to examine the bullion.
The Rogers company was robbed of
5000 ounces of silver two years ago
and in June, 1921. the Oneida Com
munity company lost a similar amount
through theft. Most of the silver stol-
en- from the Oneida Community com
pany was recovered in New York.

WAS TAKEN TO JAIL.
Lillian Z. Peck, Head Of I. Z. Peck SS
Co. of Burlington.

Burlington, March l7.--Lillian L,
Peck of the firm of L. Il. Peck & CO.,
formerly located at 1888 Main street
this city, was placed in the county jail
yesterday afternoon about o'clock on
close jail execution obtained against
her on Feb. 10 last on information fur
nisllcd by Ray r. Tuttle Of this city
before H. q, Webster as justice Of the
peace. Since that time, until yester-
terday, Miss Peck was allowed to re-
main at her home, rs Adams street, en-
account of i'll health. 1t is said that
she is not now in very good health.
1t is understood that there are a
number of unsatisfied accounts against
Il. Il. Peck & Co. The close jail execu-
tion was issued on two accounts, one
for S205.06 and the other for $60.2l.
As she was unable to satisfy these, the
alternative OF going to Jail was all that
was left.
Now that Miss Peck has been placed
in Jail, many people in the city are
again inquiring. "Where is Victor II.
Hodupp, the former partner Of Miss
Peckg" For Hodupp is considered more
to blame for the present condition Of
L. Il. Peck & Co., than is the original
member OF the firm. But Hodupp IS
among the missing and apparently in
tends to remain SO, if he has his wish
about Ii. AT least. he has shown ro
hurried inclination to come to the aid
of his former partner.

SHARP GUN BATTLE FOR
.$5OO,OOO LIQUOR CARGO;
REVENUE MEN ARREST 24
WOMEN NOT FITTED
FOR JURY YORK
Declares Mrs. Anna Cunningham, Who
Was Excused from Further
Duty By Judge.

Trenton, N. j., March II (By The
Associated Press Judge Marshall in
the Mercer circuit of the court OF com
mon pleas has excused Mrs. Anna
Cunningham from further jury serv.
ice after hearing that her experience
on two mixed juries within week had
convinced her that women were not
fitted for such duty.
During this time she was locked up
for all.night deliberations and, she de-
clares, she has not yet recovered from
threatened nervous prostration. Her
views are endorsed by her husband,
james.
"'rhe present illness of Mrs. Cum
ningham is the first at all serious in
sixteen years. he said. II attribute
ii solely to the mental and nervous
strain to which she had been sub
jected.'
Mrs. Cunningham cited reasons for
reluctance further to participate in the
administration of justice. Among these
reasons were five children and a hus-
baud.
I'm sense, also consider that jury
is an assault upon woman's natural
modestv, refinement and reserve" she
added. Some cases which she is
called upon to consider are of ma
ture so delicate that she shrinks from
frank discussion of the evidence, and
a just verdict is impossible otherwise.

began service as juror and do so now

expect if they accept the obligation"
