Peggy O'Neal's Career
In Capital Recalled

had successfully opposed his author
ity, set aside his decisions and ignored
his commands. For the dictator Of
New Orleans and Pensacola, it was a
mortifying and exasperating expert
ence, the attitude Of these women.
At the same time MIR. jackson was
not entirely unsupported in his stand
against the community. There were
some who took sides with Peggy.
IF THE Calhouns entertained any
hopes of achieving the presidency.
they were going about it the worst
possible way; and MIR. Van Buren, was
not liable to lose any sleep over a
political disaster to Mr.. Calhoun. Al
ready, in December. 1929, Mr.. Jackson
was writing confidential communica-
tions on behalf Of the Little Ma
gician" The sly Van Buren thought
it was a good opportunity to step down
and out, and his letter Of resignation
as Secretary Of State Is one of the
curiosities of political literature.
Jackson puzzled over 1t and finally
said, st can't make heads or tails of
it. and don't believe that Van Buren,
can himself"
Mai. Eaton was 50 disguised and
irritated by the treatment accorded
his wife that he resigned also and
then jackson made q clean sweep Of
the others. Mr.. Berrien, in his letter
given to the public then, states that
they (the Calhoun men) had been
forced out of the Cabinet because
their wives would not consent to re-
ceive Mrs. Eaton.
Thomas e. Watson has this to say
in his Life and Times Of Andrew
Jackson:
recognize Peggy O'Neal as her social
equal kindled the furious, implacable
resentment of President Jackson,
caused him to seek quarrel with the
Vice President, drove that illustrious
leader into q hopeless opposition,
brought about a change of mind in
jackson on the tariff question, threw
the iron-willed President on the side
of Clay and Webster, and laid the
foundations for the bitter dissensions
which evolved in the Civil War"
OF course, the dissolution of the
cabinet caused an enormous sensa.
ton, and for the first time the people
in general realized how strongly
Peggy's destinies had Influenced those
Of the administration. Peggy had
scored great triumph but she would
not abandon the battlefield, and it
was rumored that If the new cabinet
did not yield to her. it would also be
dismissed.
A FTER the Donelsons left the
President and returned to Tennesl

occasions as the First Lady Of the
Land. She arranged the details of
the entertainments given by Jackson
in the palace, and presided over them.
An international rumpus was mar
rowly averted because of the con-
duct of the wife of the Dutch Minis
ter, who arose indignantly and sailed
out of the White House when she saw
the facinating Peggy in command.
But Mr.. Jackson was very fond of
Peggy and her Irish wit amused him
constantly. For the remainder of his
life in telling anecdotes connected
with her, he would add "the smartest
little woman in America, sir. by all
odds the smartest."
In 1884 Maj. Eaton was appointed
by the President to be Governor of
Florida, and for two years Peggy ruled
such society as was found in Pen
sacola. And now Is was the major
who was not satisfied with the Florida
pest, and kept clamoring for more
important position until. in 1886, he
was appointed Minister to Spain.
That was much better, Peggy was ex-
tremely beautiful and enormously
witty, the major was wealthy, and
on the packet crossing the Atlantic
Mrs. Eaton and the two T1mberlake
daughters were the life Of the party.
In Madrid the Spaniards were de-
lighted with Peggy, she became the
favorite of the Queen, her daughter
Virginia married q duke and lived in
France, and for four years Peggy had
the time Of her life.
In 1887, while Peggy lived in Spain,
her father, william O'Neal, died in
Washington. The Eatons returned
to Washington in 1840. in time to
allow the major, who for some rea-
son had always objected to Mr.. Van
Buren, to campaign against the lat
ter's election and join hands, con-
sequently. with the enemies Of Mr..
Jackson. It was. under the circum-
stances, q peculiarly conspicuous dis
play of ingratitude, and Mr.. Jackson
did not hesitate to proclaim his old
friend, "the most degraded Of all the
apostates, fed, clothed and cherished
by the administration"
Three years after the death Of Maj.
Eaton, Margaret l.. Eaton and An
tonic Buchignani, on June Z, 1859,
were married in Washington. and
Antonio went to live at Peggy's old
home st 200 I street. Mr.. Buchignani
was an Italian dancing master who
taught Pegg's granddaughter the steps
at Marini's Academy. and was also
assistant librarian at the Capitol.
After living at the street house with
Peggy for i've years, Antonio eloped
to Italy with the granddaughter, tax
ing with him q big share of her
money and jewels.

He was Peggy's champion, ready to
battle and perish in her sacred cause.
Whenever her name was mentioned
the general sprang his rattles and
was ready to strike.
NOV Andrew jackson was inaugu-
rated on the 4th of March. 1929.
He was Democracy's first President,
and was democratic not only in poll
tics, but in his manner of living. He
was the peoples President, and the
people loved Old Hickory. His ad-
ministration was marked with SIM
plicity, being quite different from
those of the aristocratic Adams, who
preceded him in the great house at
Washington.
The Inauguration Of Andrew jack
son is marked in history as one Of
the strangest celebrations ever held
in Washington. In fact, it was a
riot. There was no parade, and no
semblance of dignity. The general
walked to the Capitol, accompanied
by a tumultuous crowd which trailed
him on foot, in gigs and in carts,
and did its best to break down the
barriers in front Of the platform
erected for the ceremony. After being
sworn in. the President escaped on
horseback to the Palace" leading the
way for a rabble, which tore after
him down the Avenue, animated by
the desire to get at the inaugural
refreshments.
The administration was not three
weeks old before the President found
himself face to face with the battle
among the ladies Of the cabinet. The
general had been told number OF
things regarding Mrs. Eaton, to which
Mr.. jackson replied at once and at
great length, in defense of the lady's
reputation. He disposed of the various
accusations as being ridiculous, or
mere rumors. Mr.. jackson had al
ways considered Mrs. Eaton to be IAN
innocent and much injured woman y
He had known Mai. Eaton for 20
years, and was not now to change
his opinion of him because Of the
ISLANDERS of the city. But in spite OF
Mr.. Jackson,s attitude, society per-
sisted in refusing to have anything to
do with Peggy.
Mr.. jackson did not know what
to make of it. Nothing could make
Mrs. Calhoun change her attitude. and
with her were Mrs. Branch, Mrs. Ing
ham, Mrs. Berrien, Mrs. Huygens. the
Dutch Minister'S wife, and their doors
were closed to Mrs Eaton. He might
illuminate as much as he chose at
home, but Mrs. Donelson would not
lift a foot to visit Mrs. Eaton.
It was tle nrst time that any one

registered by the scribe as "alta birds"
and en- masse they repeated the oatn
of allegiance in accents indicating
extreme thankfulness that the ordeal
was over.
WHILE on the subject Of aviation
w limitations, it is of extreme in
terest to all naval aviation personnel
to know that one ceremony peculiar
to the air service has been applied in
reverse and as a result all aviation
instructors had better take warning.
Since naval flying began, it has
been custom to seize upon any stu
dent pilot who has just completed
his first solo flight and heave him
bodily into the water. Students of
class No. al Oakland, Calf, went
through the rite and then, upsetting
all Navy precedent, they gleefully
seized upon their instructor. Ensign
F. L. Achilles, U. S. N. r., escorted
him to the airport channel and threw
him off the dock with hearty good will.
Instructors are hoping the idea will
not spread but fear that it will.
CONTINUED growth of air trans
sport passenger traffic, which has
resulted month after month in new
records, finally has carried the
monthly total above the 100000 mark.
The Bureau of Air Commerce, re-
porting on operations Of the Schec-
uled air lines in the United States
during July, gave total OF 1l0,690
passengers for the month. This not
only was a new all-time record for
a single month but was the first time
the total for the domestic lines had
passed 100000 in month.
The total for June, previously the
highest month in history, was 97,453.
During July, 1885, the domestic air
lines carried 85,546 passengers.
The report shows that during the
month of July the domestic airlines
carried 613,837 pounds of express and
passenger miles. During the month
69.72 per cent of all the available
seats on all the airliners flown in
scheduled service were filed, as COM
pared with 68.11 per cent in June
and 5723 per cent in July a year ago.
PRESENTATION to the 10th Pursuit
Squadron, General Headquarters
Air Force, of the Frank Luke, jr.,
Memorial Trophy last Thursday re-
calls the anniversary of the death in
action of one of the greatest combat
pilots of the World War, the man for
whom the trophy is named.
1t was during the period from Sep
temmber II to September 10. 1918,
that Luke wrote with flaming guns an
aerial combat record which for sheer
savagery and intensity was not equaled
by any other flyer. His deeds during
those brief two weeks placed his
name among those of the four Amer
lean combat pilots who won the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
Lieut. Luke, young Texan. began
his meteoric combat career on Sep
tember IL, when he shot down his
first aircraft. an observation balloon.
The balloon was recognized by expert
enced pilots to be the most difficult
of aerial targets. ringed around as it
was by a well of fire from anti
aircraft guns and frequently protected
from above by friendly pursuit air.

During the following II days, Luke
brought down 81 enemy aircraft, most

SHERIFF HAPPY!
NO. 3 IS HOME
Pride and Joy of Force Is
Found in Fort Wayne;
Two Men Held.

No. 3 car, the pride and joy of
Sheriff Ray, is back in the county
garage today ready for patrol serv-
ice, but minus its red light, its
number and its radio. This is what
happened:
Yesterday noon the Fort Wayne
police found the car parked at an
intersection. In the back seat they
found William Frederick, 81, of 439
E. Michigan-st, asleep.
They found, however, that when
he awakened he couldn't recall the
circumstances of how he got there
in a Marion County. Sheriff's car.
When they began to question him
about who had been with him they
found the cat had his tongue.
They notified Sheriff Ray and
Deputies Charles McCallister,
Charles Markey, Thomas. Sullivan
and Richard Stewart hightailed up
to Fort Wayne and questioned Fred
erick. He admitted reluctantly
that Martin Garvey, 36, of 1923
Bradshaw-st, had been with him,
but insisted that Carney must have
driven because he, Frederick, had
been asleep in the back seat all along.
He'd Been Asleep Too
They combed Fort Wayne for
Garvey. Finally they found him,
also, asleep, on railroad station
bench. He insisted he had just
popped into town on a train and
had decided TO take a nap right
away.
The cat had his tongue, too, about
the sheriff's car, but when he was
confronted with Frederick, he adj
mitted the theft. Frederick must
have driven it to Fort Wayne, he
said, because he, Carney. was asleep
in the back seat all the way.
They're trying to straighten these
things out at the Marion County
Jail today, where the men are held
on charges of auto theft, burglary
and several other things.
