It was characteristic of Dolly Madi-
son that although she was an old lady
when James Madison died in 1885,
she fastened to forsake Montpelier,
where she had just completed 20 years
of country life, and go back to WASH
ington
In the Capital, life progressed with
high interest and excitement. She had
done her very best for the little man
who had made her mistress OF the
White House and whom she had, of
course. sincerely loved. But now there
was no reason why she should not
exchange the calm Of the country for
the exhilarating existence of the city
in which she formerly had moved with
such joyous vivacity.
For 20 years she remained the most
striking figure in the society of the
Capital. Her home. the famous Octa
gon House, witnessed succession of
levees and dinners at which she pre-
sided with inimtable spirit, despite her
years. Every one of consequence at
tended, and paid homage to the SPAR
king OLD lady. dressed in purple velvet
gowns, tight-waisted and cut low. with
filling of tulle, aid. covering her Shout
ders, a lace cape.
One Of her last public appearances
was in the administration of James K.
Polk. At a White House levee she
passed through the crowded rooms on
the Presidents arm, magnificently
vivacious and alive, and proud of the
admiring eyes that glowed upon her
from every side.
She died in 1855, still young lady,
of SO Summers"
It is almost impossible to believe that
she was born and brought up demure
Quakeress.
Dolly Payne, daughter of john Payne,
a Quaker of Hanover County, Va, was
born in May, 1853. She was named
after an ancestor Dorothea Spotswood.
John Payne did not like the care
free and to some extent riotouS life
of his Virginia neighbors, who drank,
danced, hunted and made love jubi-
lantly. He took his family to live in
Philadelphia.
Dolly Payne was so beautiful that
the good Quakeresscs of Penn Town
feared for her.
Hide thy face, Dolly" they told
her, there are so many staring at
thee"
She was married in her twenty-first
year to John Todd another Quaker.
She was not a willing bride. How
ever, she made him good wife, and
things turned out well after all. BY
the time she was Is she was widow,
though, with one child.
She YVES not dismayed. She had
the priceless gift of being able to de-
light all men-and knew she had it,
too. If anything, she was more BEAU
tiful than ever. She was independent,
able to do as she wished. There was
no need to be unhappy.
John Payne, her father, had suf-

now took in boarders. Dolly went home
| to live. 1t was an interesting place
and it had potentialities. One of the
| boarders was the handsome and fasci-
mating Aaron Burr.
Burr, at the time a Senator, eXtolled
her beauty and her good qualities in
many quarters. James Madison-the
great little Madison'-then member
of the lower House, asked to be intro
duced to her. Burr brought him to Mrs.
Payne's boarding house.
| Madison was Al. His surrender was
foregone conclusion. The pearly
whites and rose tints of her beautiful
face were set off by her black curling
hair She wore frock of mulberry
satin, with a filny tulle scarf folded
over her plump bosom. She was de-
murely gay and fetchingly witty.
He soon proposed Everybody was
pleased, even Gen. and Mrs. Washing
ton.
Her first wedding had been too quiet
for Dolly's taste. This time she bal
anced the account. She went to Hare
wood the estate of her sister, Mrs
George Steptoe Washington, in Virginia,
and there, with an accompaniment OF
feasting and dancing, she and Madison
their residence at his estate, Montpelier,
and Dolly, knowing Madison to be
rising man, waited for events to develop
Great things impended. Jefferson
was chosen President He made Madl-
son Secretary of State.
Circumstances carried Dolly Madi-
son to unforeseen heights. Madison be-
came only head of the State Depart
~ment, but she became First Lady of the
Land. Jefferson was widowed and both
his daughters were married and living
at a distance. 1t fell to Mrs. Madison
to preside at all social affairs at the
White House.
Nothing daunted her. She was equal
to any occasion. Her gayety, her SIM
plicity and her friendliness made her
immensely popular. She was called
Queen Dolly" She loved it all.
On March 4. 1909, Madison was in
augurated President and his wife be-
came the actual mistress OF the White
House.
Dolly Madison was not all froth. She
had a keen mind and keener wit.
Long after, James G. Blaine declared
that she saved Madison's administra-
ton, holding him back from the ex-
tremes of Jefersonianism.

Committees Report
HOUSE VOTE Is so TO 30

Adjournment Of the special ses-
stct OF the North Dakota leRisla-
ture was forecast for this afternoon
or tonight in view Of the action by
by the house today in adopting the
report Of q joint house and senate
committee which was appointed to
consider the governors message.
The house vote on accepting the re-
port was 80 to 80 with three Nom
partisans absent.
Adoption of the committees report
effectively blocked all ate ,pts to
pass legislation of any kind at this
session and sent into the discard Ia
bills or resolutions which hid been
offered during the course of the
session.
Among the latter were ST.: which
were presented Monday by the ad-
ministration and designed to carry
out the recommendations made by
the governor in his message.
No Fight Made
Although a number of members
explained their votes, no fight on the
joint committees report was made
this morning and no attempt was
made to amend it. A contest had
been expected in some quarters but
the matter was put to q vote before
these persons realized what had hap.
pened.
A suggestion by Rep. o. E. Erick-
son, Kidder county, that the report
be adopted section by section met
with little apparent favor and he did
not press the matter.
Twenty Nonpsrtjsans voted to
x60pt the report while the indepond-
ent majority was solidly J.. favor of
the proposal.
In suggesting action on each Sec
tion of the report, Erickson contend
ed that the special joint committee
had usurped the powers of the legis-
lature. as whole by recommending
adjournment without considering
any legislation.
Roll Call Taken

DR. DC. BARROW
GETS NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Reverses Yer.
dict of Cass County Court
in Murder Case

Reversing the Cass county dis
trict court, the state supreme court
today ordered a new trial in the
case Of DR.. D. C. Darrow, Fargo,
sentenced to a 1914 year term in
the state prison following his con-
victfon on charge Of second degree
murder.
Darrow was convicted OF causing
the death Of Jessie Stejskal, Moor
head, Mtnn., on June 80, 1926, by an
illegal operation.
The court held that argument Of
counsel to the jury is a part OF the
trial and that the Judge must pc
present when 1t is made. There can
be no court without a Judge, the
supreme court held, and II the Judge
is absent for any length of time
there is mistrial. Failure to OBJ.
ject to the judges departure from
the bench during trial Is no bar
to an appeal on that ground, the de-
cision held.
In cases where a second degree
murder charge is predicated ON an
illegal operation, the court held, the
state must prove that the opera
tion was not necessary to save the
life Of the person undergoing the
operation and the defendant is un-
der no obligation to prove that the
operation was necessary.
Affirming the Stutsman county
court ID the case Of Charles Scott
and others against the city Of James-
town, tho court held that the
JamestOwn city commissioners had
authority to hire outside counsel to
assist the city attorney In . case
Involving the disposal Of sewage and
garbage. Scott had contended that
the Jamestown city commission had
no authority to employ argo law
yer to assist tho jamestown city ct.
torney. The court he'd that the
mayor and city council were not re-
stricted to the employment OF resi-
dent lawyers and that anyone re-
tained by them could be paid from
the. city's general fund.
