Or ASHINGTON—The recent
“ ef Mrs. William Hunter DoB
merly the widow of Senator Cos
K. Davis of Minnesota and wall ki
in capital soc|ety; recall*, a ...
clal feud In which she was one of
leading characters.
Mrs. Doll’s maiden name was
Malcolm Agnew, and she was
quite 16 years of age when she
rled Senator Davis, who was 27 y
her senior.
Anna Agnew described herself as a
great-grandchild of Margaret Malcolm,
a distinguished Scotch woman, and a
great-grandniece of Admiral Poultney
Malcdlm, who guarded the Island of
St, Helena while Napoleon was a
prisoner there. She became the cblfd
wife of a printer named Evans, but
■he divorced him in 1878, and, to sup-
port herself, entered the household of
Gov. Cushman K. Davia of Minnesota
aa a seamstress.
Within a few months the harmony
between Gov. Davis and his wife was
Mrs. William R, Merrlam, wife of
a rlaing politician, was the aaelal lead-
er In St. Paul at the time. She wa# a
devoted friend of the flrat Mrs. Davis,
»nd her decree that Mra. Amts Agnaw
Darla must not be recognised socially
was obeyed implicitly.
It was not long before William R.
Merrlam was elected governor of Min-
nesota, and his wife assumed her po-
rtion as mistress of the Executive
mansion. The inaugural ball la the
great social function of St. Paul, and
when Mrs. Merrlam sent out her In-
vitations the former governor and his
wife were excluded.
Oov; Davis was elected to the Unit-
ed States senate In 1887. Soon after
the expiration of Gov. Merriam's term
he was appointed director of the cen-
sus, coming with his wife to this city,
and transferring the scene of hostil-
ities.
Senator Davis died on November 27,
1900, from blood poisoning. While
campaigning In Maine he suffered a
slight abrasion of the foot. The dye
from his silk hose Infected the wound
and septicemia resulted. Mra. Davia
was married to Hunter. Doll on July
29, 1903.

William White, R. R. u.
atantlne Street, Three Rivt
says: “In a'rail road
collision my kidneys
must have been hurt,
as I passed bloody
urine with pain for a
long time after, was
weak and thin and
so I could not work.
Two years after I
went to the-hos-
pital and remained al-
moat alx months, but my case seemed
hopeless. The urine passed Involun-
tarily. Two months ago I began tak-
ing Doan’a Kidney Pills and the Im-
provement has- been wonderful. Four
boxes have done me more good than
all the doctoring of seven years. I
gained eo much that my friends won-
dor at it.”

IN SELF DEFENSE.
Place for Inaugural Dance Is in Doubt
^yHERE shall the Inaugural ball be
This la the question which la agitat-
ing the minds of the Inaugural com-
mittee and society folks here. For
many years this has been the crown-
ing feature of the Installation Into
office of a new president, but four
years ago congress reluctantly gave
Its consent to the use of the pension
office building and followed this action
up by adopting a resolution that the
building should not again be put in
disorder for auch a purpose.
Properly to prepare the structure
for the ball means the removal from
d.h« great court of millions of valuable
records besides tiff, almost complete
cessation of the government Vd&iDess
for no less than 20 days by the army
of clerks who dally pass upon pension
cans
Pension Commissioner Warner says
that the pay of employes during that
period, within which they would be
in enforced Idleness, aggregates $96,-
474, and it would mean just that much
cost to the government.
He says that the work of the office
will be put back, and that damage
that cannot be estimated Invariably
follows every occupancy of the pen-
sion office for the Inaugural ball,
f There is already on foot, however,
ja movement to utilize the building aa
in the past for the ball and the house
committee on the District of Columbia
after the holidays will bring In a
resolution to that end. Unless the
temper of congress has undergone a
radical change in the last four years,
the resolution will meet with defeat.
The only other building In the city
where the ball could be held la the
new national museum, now nearing
completion, but this structure, because
of the absence of a court such as the
pension building has, would lessen
the brilliancy of the function by con-
fining the guests to the corridors.
The receipts from the Inaugural
■ball in tbe past have gone toward pay-
ing the expenses of the Inauguration

Cutleura Soon Cured Hie Eczema.
"An itching humor covered both my
hands and got up over my wrists and
oven up to the elbows. The itching
and burning were terrible. My hand#
got all scaly and when I scratched, the
surface would be covered with blis-
ters and then get raw. The eczema
got so bad that I could not move my
thumbs without deep cracks appearing.
1 went to my doctor, but his medicine
could only Btop the itching. At night
I suffered so fearfully that I could not
sleep. I could not bear to touch my
hands with water. This went on for _
three months and I was fairly worn

dies and in a month I was cured. Wal-

Electricity’s Beginnings
The term "electricity” was derived |
from the Greek word meaning amber.
Electricity Itself is earliest described I
by Theophrastus (321 B. C.) and Pliny
(76 A. D.), who mention the power ef
amber to attract straw aad dry leaves.
Dr. Gilbert of Colchester, physician to
Queen"Elizabeth (1540-1663) may be
considered the founder of the science,
as he appears to have been the first I
philosopher who carefully repeated the I
observations of the ancients and aw ]
piled to them the principles of phOw
sopbical investigation.
