Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 8, 1S64.-Four men who had
on their persons large amount of gold
and considerable sum in Confederate
bank notes were committed today to
the old Capitol prison. They gave their
names as Robertson Thompson, Henry
Frankenthal, Warren Stuart and Jacob
BrentleSs. When taken into custody
by Provost Marshal Todd, they claimed
they were refugees from Virginia. but
it is evident that the military authori-
ties regard them as something more
than that and believe they will re-
quire "close watching" for the present.
There was such quantity of ice in
the river today that the Government
vessels Eutaw and SaSsacus, which have
for some time been undergoing repairs
to proceed on their way down the
Potomac, as planned. They will re-
main here until the river is cleared Of
ice.
Washingtonians learned for the first
time today of the death of the famous
English novelist, William Makepeace
Thackeray. The news was telegraphed
from Halifax, where is was brought by
the ship Africa from Liverpool.
Private information received here to-
day leads to the belief that the Con-
federates are quietly removing their
military factories and similar estab-
nshments from Richmond to some place
in South Carolina. This is believed to
be the result not only Cf the pressure
of Gen. Grants Union Army on Rich
mond, but of the failure of the Con-
federate Gen. Longstreet's expedition
against Knoxville The continual
Union occupation Of East Tennessee
makes the Confederate hold upon Rich
mond more difficult and uncertain.
Somerset Burroughs is safely located
today in the old Capitol prison after
various adventures, the most recent of
which was capture by the Potomac
flotilla Of the Union Navy few days
ago. It will be remembered that Bur-
roughs was formerly first lieutenant of
the Georgetown City Guard and clerk
in the store of Smoot & Burroughs,
dry goods merchants. Subsequently he
came to light as a captain in the Con-
federate Army. One of his loyal friends
here was heard to remark today that
he hoped he would not have a chance
ito turn another somerset into Dixie. -

Overeating, confinement in poorly

in an astonishing manner.
When head noises are altered or tenn
porarily relieved by imitation of the
eustachian tubes, they can probably be
cured by proper treatment of the mid
die ear or nose or throat trouble that
causes them.
In some instances head noises are due
to deficient function of one or another
ductless gland.

One mother says: I train my chill
dren to be the champions of any one
who is being unfairly criticized without
being there to take his or her own
part. My theory is that one or more
favorable points can be found for any
one, and bringing these forth may
overbalance. the unpleasant report. The
sooner gossip is looked upon with dis
favor the better, for it is SO often
serious in its results.

SAN JUAN. p. r., March 28.--After
experimenting with compulsory voting
laws, Porto Rico is prepared to make a
complete about face by providing legis-
lat!on for the virtual disfranchisement
of one-half of the eligible voters Of the
islsnd-the illiterates. Porto Rico,
alarmed ~ years ago at the indifference
of the natives to the electoral privilege,
passed a law carrying Jail penalty
for failure to vote. Later the law was
modified and at the present session OF
the Legislature all the teeth probably
will be pulled. Next year or the year
after bill providing literacy standards
will be framed and is certain to pass.
The measure would have been pre-
pared for the present session If uncer-
tainty about the enfranchisement Of
women had been banished. The gov
ernor has recommended extension OF
suffrage to women and political lead
ers. who have been opposed to woman
suffrage, seem to have shifted their
ground.

Of conversion but of alarm. The Con-

this year. Party leaders, in conse-
quence, have decided 1t will be better
to accept the reform and save trouble
for Congress.
Woman Suffrage Likely.
The certainty of woman suffrage.
bringing with it double the present
number Of voters, has induced officials
to cease trying to make every registered
citizen vote. They are now devoting
their energies toward finding way Of
preventing more than o half of the
adult population from going to the
polls.
Illiteracy, however. is sensitive sub

as magazines and newspapers OF the
continent frequently mention tie fact
that So per cent of the population can
not read or write. At rome the topic

 so happens that one of the synonyms for his surname is described in our dictionary IS "a salesman who .iis- poses of his wares by calling them out in the street. The subject of
 this silhouette is a salesman who dis

 the mout in the highways, despite the fact that the automobile he handles is one which would justify some shouting from the housetops.
 He is the moving figure in planning and staging annual automobile shows. His place of business Is in the shadow of house of worship, with another church but a short dis. tance away-very evident that he
 went into the automobile business before churches opened their opposi- ton to that industry. Johnny Moran won't have any trouble pick ing tonights we'll bet.
