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

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

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.

"Exhibit A in the full crew fight

Schuylkill. It was a mileage book and
was presented, as Mr. Garner said, by

"It is the first fruits of the full

it to Speaker Ambler.
"I refuse to accept it," said the

Garvin, who also refused to aeeerpt it.
It was a white elephant on the hands
of the chief clerk. When last seen

MANNING DEFENDS STAND
Writes Letter to Vance C. McCormick,
in Which He Does Not Becede From
Position as to Coal Wharf
In reply to tie open letter written
, to hiim by Vance C. McCormiek criti
cizing him for having approved the
: plan of the City to lease a part of
Hargest's island to the Harrisburg
Light & Power Company for the con
struction of a coal wharf, AVarren H.
Manning, the City landscape architect,
has addressee! a communication to Mr.
McCormiek, which was made public to-
I day.
Mr. Manning does not recede from
his stand that the granting of the lease
was wise. He argues tlhat by permit
ting the wharf to be placed on the
island the City took a step toward
/beautifying the H<uri«ibflrg side of the
river because, he says in ettect, it will
I help to make possible the closing of the
i gap in the river wall between Walnut
! and Market streets. He intimates that
| it is not unlikely that other buildings,
such as boat houses, may be placed on
the island. Mr. Manning says further:
"You and your frieuds nave had
confidence in me, and I am expecting a
continuation of that confidence as re
gards this proposition when it is clear
that commercial structures and utilitar
ian structures existing and proposed are
not necessarily hideous and offensive
structures."
RULES FOR WALKING
ON SIDEWALKS
There is one citizen of New Orleans
who has his own ideas concerning the
conduct of persons walking along the
pavements. In a communication to tthe
"American," he gives the following
rules which, he says, should "govern
the perambulations of pedestrians."
Extremely caustic remarks were incor
porated in his letter, the most interest
ing part of which follows:
"Always take the left side of the I
walk. By doing so you will be sure to |
run directly against the main tide of
travel and probably get knocked down |
by coming in contact with some one in |
! a hurry.
"If you are carrying an umbrella the
proper caper is to stick it under one of i
your arms so people behind you can get j
the pleasant sensation of having it I
thrust against their breasts, or the feel
' ing that the point may be stuck into j
i one of their eyes.
| "Don't ever hesitate to suddenly stop ;
in front of another person. Always put I
your hands in your pockets, turn on your I
heels, spit upon the sidewalk and turn
your back to the person you know is j
coming towards you. This will be per- i
fectlv proper, as is not stated in books j
of etiquette that tell you how to be a |
gentleman.
"If you happen to meet any friend '
along the sidewalk, always stop him
right in the center of the pavement and ,
indulge in a prolonged conversation, j
Never think of moving aside. By doing 1
such a thing you would give other I
people the chance to pass on their way. I
"If you are not busy, put your hands I
in your pockets, turn your head in one !
direction and walk in the other. This !
procedure will be certain to relieve oth- I
era of any anxiety as to whether you
are going north, south, east or west."
In ending his letter the writer de-:
clared that there should be sidewalk
regulation in New Orleans as well as I
regulation of street traffic, which he
praised.—New Orleans American.

CLASSIC WAR POEMS
Selected by J. Howard Wert
no. IT. 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! England! and St. George!"
