SUFFRAGE BILL ADVANCED IN SENATE LAST EVENING XtMore Passed First Evading Before Its Friends or Foes Knew It Had Been Called—Crow, McNicbol and Var* Beturn The appearance of Senators Crow. McNiohol and Vare in the Senate last Bight, fresh from their two weeks sojourn in the South, had a stimulating! effect on the other Senators who have done litTte work in the absence of the: trio. It was thought that the Senate! •would buckle down to business at once, but such did not prove to be the fact' as beyond the introduction of some ! unimportant bills the Senate did prac-' tieally nothing, and it can hardly jo ] anything more this week. The three Senators who went South •were looking the picture of health, ai: bronze.-: and tanned by the Florida Mo. The statement that they had brought a box of lemsus with them to distribute among their fellow-Senators i was denied. The woman suffrage amendment went j through the Senate on first reading, al- 5 most before anybody was aware of it, j and the suffrage women and the anti suffragists looked up in surprise when j the calendar was gone through with an announcement made that the bill had' been advanced. _ To the right of the president's' rostrum had gathered haif a dozen anti- ; •uffragists led by Mrs. Armstrong, of! Philadelphia, who were under the im- ! press ion that a halt could be put to I the bill when on its way through on i Ant reading, and they were there full of hope that some opponent would do wmething. To the left of the rostrum ! was a delegation of suffragists, headed • •gr Mrs. Frank Roessing, president of the State Suffrage Association, who knew that the passage of the bill on ■rst reading was mandatory and did *ot worry. They, however, shared in the mirprise at the expehrftious manner la which the bill was catapulted I through, and soon afterward left the [ j chamber. , Beidleman Heads Committee The Senate concurred in the reeolu- 11 tion providing for a committee of ten i Senators and ten members of the House ( ! !o accompany the gubernatorial party ! to Xewport News 011 March 16 when i 1 the battleship Pennsylvania is to be, t i lauiyrhed. Senator Beidleman will head j the Senate committee. j , Almost half a hundred bills were in-1 i troducfti in the Senate, almost all of 1 | which were appropriation bills for hoe- 1 '; pitais and charitable institutions.

HARRISBTTRtt STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 9. 1915. j ANOTHER VERSION AS ro HOW "JITNEY" ORIGINATED Jitney and joy are synonymous terms in New Orleans at present; therefore it is entirely within reason to inquire the origin of the expression. Most people know that it signifies five ceuts, but few could give any explana tion for this. Jitney jov riders should insist on being fully informed on this matter. Jitney has always been associated with joy, but the festive groups of citizens! that are tasting for the first time in their lives of the oleasures usually re- : served for wealth and leisure do not! dream that the name of their magic ; coach is closely connected with the; durance vile and the pallid faces of a' prison. "Jitney" is a negro elision of the name of Jedney, a trusty at a larce j prison. Tobacco is one of the greatest solaces of prison life, but, of course.! is prohibited. They chewed the weed because smoking was so easily detected 1 Jedney smuggled tobacco to the prisoners. As he took much risk he insisted on keeping one-half of the supply pur chased. After Jedney left the jail a little colored boy succeeded to this commerce. He had observed Jedney's methods of business with great admi ration. When solicited by the prisoners to secure them the coveted indulgence, he bluntly told them that business would I continue only on Mr. "JitneyV plan. The darky used to get a dime for his tobacco, however, and alwavs declared for a division of 50—50. Afterward a "jitney's worth" came to signify but a nickel. The origin of jitney is another interesting instance of the strange derivation of popular expressions—New Orleans American.

MILEAGE BOOK «OES BEUOING Nobody Willing to Accept "Exhibit A" in the Full Crew Fight "Exhibit A in the full crew fight was presented to Speaker AmbleV at the start of last nig^t 's session of the Hruse by Representative Garner, of Schuylkill. It was a mileage book and was presented, as Mr. Garner said, by the "corporate interests." "It is the first fruits of the full crew fight." he said, as he presented it to Speaker Ambler. "I refuse to accept it," said the Speaker, woo handed it to Chief Clerk Garvin, who also refused to aeeerpt it. It was a white elephant on the hands of the chief clerk. When last seen "Exhibit A" was still on the chief clerk's desk.

KING HENRY VTO HIS TROOPS AT SIEGE OF HARFLEUR , BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE The English and French, for centuries hereditary enemies, are now fighting shoulder to shoulder against Germany and her allies*. But this is not the first time that the troops of England and France have fought in a common cause. I hey did so, sixty years ago. in the celebrated Crimean campaign. But then did so. to thwart the Russian advance on Constantinople. Now it seems probably that they will hand the Czar the coveted city as a free gift. Amongst the English sovereigns who were possessed with the idea that the French throne of right was theirs, was Henry V. So, iu 1415, he invaded France and captured the fortified city of llartleur after a siege which lasted from August loth to September 22d. The fighting was of a desperate character on both sides. In preparing for one of the assaults Shakespeare represents the Kin" as addressing his troops thus: " Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall tip with our Knglish dead. in peace there's nothing so becomes a man As niodest stillness and humility; But when the blast of war blows in our ears. Then imitate the action of the tiger: Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood. Disguise fair nature with hard-favor'd rage. Then, lend the eyes a terrible aspect; Let it pry through the portage of the head, Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhohn it, As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and juttv his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean. Xow set the teeth, and stretch the nostril wide; Hold hard the breath, and bend tip every spirit To its full hight. On! on! you noble English, Whose blood is set from fathers of war-proof; Fathers, that, like so many Alexanders, Have in these parts from morn till even fought. And sheathed their swords for lack of argument, Be copy now to men of grosser blood, And teach them how to war. And you, good yeomen, Whose limbs were made in England, show us here The mettle of your pasture; let us swear That you are worth your breeding,—which t doubt not; For there is none of you so menn and base. That hath not noble luster in your eyes. I see you Btart like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot; l*ollow your spirit; and, irpon this charge, / Cry "God for Harry!
