Marion S. Pearce and Philip J.
onecK ana tne Hippodrome Lompany,
m which Messrs. Pearce and Sheck
are interested, came as a shock to those
who viewed from a sentimental stand-
nAin .1... LJ.t .' x C A. I
The building will be razed within a
abort time to make way for a theatre
ana, perhaps, a new hotel. With its
demolition will disappear all visible
reminders of associations which the
institution had with historic, political
and theatrical events of nearly three-
fourthi of a century.
It was erected in 1835 and one of the
first persons to place his name on its
register was Gen. William Henry
Harrison, the hero of Tippecanoe. He
registered before the hotel was opened
formally, out the tact that he was
elected President shortlv afterward
made his visit here all the more in
teresting to local historians.
Although the hotel has been repaired
many times and even a few months
before the fire which visited it just
before the Democratic National Con
vention last year had been renovated
ana refurnished, there remained an air
be old days which made it charming
to those who litre tn rpvpl in nlarea
where several generations have met
in social and business intercourse.
The Eutaw was like a hundred
hotels scattered throughout the country
especially in the South, with its long
verandas, high ceilings, large bedrooms
and old-fashioned lobby. Its,, clerks
were always polite and its waiters
and house servants were noted for their
strict attention to the needs and
comfort of guests. In summer men
occupied chairs in front of the hotel
along the sidewalk just as they had
, been accustomed to do in the days of
Guy's, Barnum's and other hotels to
which class the Eutaw belonged.
When the house was sold at auction
to the Garrets in 1845 it soon became
one of the leading hotels in the city
and the country. Even when more
expensive and larger hotels were opened
here the Entaw gave good service and
its patrons continued to come to it
as long as it existed. It was for many
years the headquarters of the Demo
cratic party in Maryland.
Records of the institution show that
Harry Clay and Daniel Webster were
guests there and that they were intimate
friends of Robert Coleman, one of the
first managers. When Admiral Farragut
of Civil War fame, came to the city
in 1865 he was entertained at this
hotel.
Other famous guests of the hotel were
President Grant and Louis Kossuth,
the noted Hungarian patriot, who
addressed the people from the balcony
on Eutaw street. Kossuth was given a
welcome which almost equaled that
accorded to Lafayette.
The first manager of the hotel after
the Garrets assumed control was Mr.
Jackson, who was succeeded by Mr.
Carroll is 1859. Mr. Coleman, of
Astor House, fame was the next,
remaining until the close of the war,
to be followed by James D. Gilmour.
Mr. Gilmour was succeeded in 187-1
by William W. Leland, of New York.
Other managers were A. J. Ford and
sons, of Ford's Hotel, Richmond, and
Col. C. S. Wood. James P. Shannon,
who was formerly with the Carroll ton,
operated the hotel for a number of
years, being followed by E. P. Herbert
and later by Mr. Shannon's nephew
Frank C. O'Brien, who was the last
manager.
constant, but a variable: in other
words, that our sun is a variable star,
like thousands of others in the sky.
Astronomer Frost says that farmers
will know six months in advance what
kind of crop weather they will have
the following summer if scientific
studies of the sun's progress as rapidly
as they have during the last few years.
"It should not be inferred that a sud
den small change, in the sun's radiation
produces an immediate effect in the
terrestrial temperature," Prof. Frost
states. "The earth's atmosphere takes
up these changes and gradually com
municates them to the earth's surface,
how soon and to what degree remains
to be investigated. Continuous study,
extended perhaps over many years, will
be required to determine if these
changes in radiation can be predicted
in advance and if the laws can be
determined which govern them. It is
evidently a most practical problem,
touching the interest of every in
habitant of the earth."

They should take a lesson from their
English sisters, who are fighting so
strenuously for their rights.
The American girls and women, al
though they may not appreciate their
men, are more subtle tind diplomatic
than English women. A woman hater
would say 'cunning.'
"The American woman understands
her American husband better than the
English woman the Britisher. She uses
flattery, graciousness, her womanly
gifts and attractions, instead of bombs
and torches, and gets results.
"The militant suffragette in England
is ruining the cause. I don't believe they
have any friends among the men. The
men who would have been inclined to
help them now are afraid to side with
them after what they have done.
"The Government feels it would be
unsafe to give in to the suffragettes
after their violence, as it would tempt
labor unions to use the same methods
of destruction to obtain their demands.
The tactics of the suffragettes have
reacted against themselves. Though
as an American woman, I sympathize
with their cause, I can't but feel
the justness of the Englishman's view-point."

PLANS
Washington, July 8. Prominent
members of society here are inclined to
believe the report cabled from London
that Miss Margaret Preston Draper,
daughter of the former Ambassador to
Italy and the most wealthy heiress of
this city, is to wed the Count de la
Tour d' Auvergne. The wedding is ex
pected to take place in Washington,
and until it is held fashionable folk will
be in suspense wondering how Mrs
William F. Draper, mother of Mar
garet Draper, can eclipse the annual
balls given by her in the great ball
room of her residence in Farragut
Square.
Miss Draper, who is now twenty-two,
made her debut at a ball which is still
the talk of Washington. Hundreds of
hummingbirds released in a tropical
forest, were one of the. features in dec
orative effects. On these decorations
thousands of dollars were spent on the
ballroom, the walls of which are cov
ered with priceless tapestry. Other balls
given by the Drapers for years have
been almost as elaborate, and the throng
which gathers for these functions is
the most distinguished that Washington
knows.
Mrs. Draper likes to entertain in
Washington, although most of the year
is spent by her and her daughter in
Europe. So it is the expectation that
the wedding will take place in this city
and probably in the same famous ball-
m where Miss Draper made her
debut, Dec. 23, 1912. Miss Draper was
to have been a debutante the year
before, but the death of her father
delayed her coming out.
When Gen. and . 1 1 ? Drarer were at
Rome they enter! aln - ; atai which
made the Italians gasp, though the good
taste of these functions was never ques
tioned. Mrs. Draper's jewels are said
to have been the admiration and won
der of the whole Italian court.
The money which made these func
tions possible comes largely from enor
mous mills in Hope-dale, Mass., where
machinery for cotton manufacturing is
made. How aiany millions Gen. Draper
left is not definitely known, although it
is certain that he bequeathed Miss
Draper $6,000,000. From her mother
Miss Draper will inherit many millions
more.
Mrs. Draper was a Miss Preston of
Lexington, Ky. Gen. Draper was a na
tive of Massachusetts and served Wo
terms in Congress from that State. He
was boomed for the Republican nomi
nation to the Vice-Presidency in 1900.

Pending the verdict of the coroner's

Circuit Court asking for the appoint

organs after the analysis had been made.
The company obtained an injunction
preventing their removal from this city
and a further hearing was set for July
15. After the injunction had been
granted an application was made
for an independent examination.
The organs are now locked in the
safe in the office of the Clerk of the

According to the dispatch from Jack

Such an addition is .greatly needed,
as the one we now have, containing
three rooms, is not nearly sufficient
o accommodate the school children
of this district.
The Excelsior Club, a recently

is doing much for the advancement
of this vicinity. In their regular meet

in securing a new school building
and expressed their willingness and
desire to help the cause along.

A
NEW PHASE IN
(EM) SUIT
CORONER'S JURY NOW AFFIRMS
THAT MUCH INSURED MAN
DIED ACCIDENTALLY.
Baltimore, July 9.
"death by accidental
given by a coroner's
night in Jacksonville,
-A verdict of
drowning" was
jury Monday
11. i., after an
investigation of the death of E. O.
Painter, a fertilizer manufacturer of
Jacksonville, who fell from a ferryboat
and was drowned in the St. John's
river May 22.
Painter's life, according to members
of his family and their counsel, was
insured for $1,178,000. The vital
organs taken from Painter's body
were sent to Baltimore by Coroner
Abbott for chemical analysis, which
was made by Charles Glaser, a South
Van Buren, Ark., July 8. Despite
that his old Columbia University
friends, from which institution he so
mysteriously disappeared two years ago,
have finally found him, and that in the
East he might live as luxuriously as
any Vanderbilt or Astor, with his own
fortune of 'nearly $2,000,000 and that
which he will inherit, which is about
five times more, John O'Brien says that
nothing can induce him to give up his
present occupation as section boss on
the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Further
more, this job obliges him to be at work
at 7 in the morning in all kinds of
weather and at times entails the use of
a shaVk for a home with a rough pine
board bunk for a bedstead and coarse
camp-fire food for diet.
O'Brien left Columbia. without a word
of explanation to his chums shortly be
fore examination time in 1911. He was
supposed to be on his way to spend a
week end at a seashore resort where,
however, he never appeared. For a
time there was great excitement among
Columbia students, and a hunt was
kept up for montl;s.
All the time, O'Brien nrw says, his
mother knew his whereabouts, but if
she did so she 'did r,.jt convey the in
formation to his fiier.:!;;. Then came
letters from 0'li frcin the West, in
which he settle-! ; p seme small debts
he had left at Columbia. Then he sent
a check to his fraternity to help out in
the commencement celebrations and
ceremonies. It Was through these let
ters that he was finally traced hare.
He is now twenty-six and has broad
ened and toughened since his college
days.
"I just grew tired of being a million
aire," he told a correspondent; "tired
of having nothing to do but to play
the society game. I wanted to be a real
man and get in a real game. I am doing
useful work and am proud of myself
for the first time in my life. Whenever
I feel that I have qualified properly
in the world of men I will return home
assume my wealth and try to use it
for good purposes. That's all there is
to it. I came out here not playing
the "rich kid" stuff just offering my
services for what I was worth. I worked
hard and promotion came promptly
and I am honestly delighted with my
tasks."

MEAT INSPECTION TO BE RIGID.
Outside Experts Named To Visit
Packing Establishments. '
Washington, July 9. Another step
in safeguarding the health of the
American people was taken by ' the
Wilson Administration today when
Secretary of Agriculture Houston an
nounced the selection of three experts
to inspect and report upon meat
packing cxtablishments operating un
der Federal supervision at various
points in New York, Massachusetts
Connecticut, Missouri and Illinois.
Dr., W. T. Sedgwick, professor of
bacteriology and sanitary engineering
at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-'
nology, who will inspect the establish
ments at Boston; Worcester and Bright
wood, Mass., and New Haven, Conn.
Dr. V. A. Moore, professor of "pathol
ogy, New York State Veterinary
College, Cornell University, Ithaca,
to inspect and report on conditions
in the meat packing establishments
at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo
and New York.
Dr. J. W. Cpnnaway, Missouri
Agricultural College, Columbia, Mo.,
to inspect and report on conditions
in meat packing establishments of
Kansas City, St. Louis, St. Josrph
and National Stock Yards, Illinois.
This new inspection of meat-packing
establishments by outside exjcits under
temporary assignment by the Govern
ment -will in no way supersede or lessen
the work now being done by the Bureau
of Animal Industry.
The Craven County Board of Health
will ' hold a meeting Monday next,
and at that time a county health officer
will be secured to take charge of the
health condition of the county, devot
ing his entire time to this work.
