Washington, Nov. 27.
The president announced that he
will "stand pat" in the negro troops
matter, but lie spent a goodly portiol
of this his first day at home since
his return in hearing protests from
prominent negroes. The private see
reta r of Booker Washington, sent
spciailly by his chief, was among
these.
Tie presi(lent heldi up a eabinet
meeting half an hiour to talk with
this one and another. This afternoon
he received a whole bunch of news
paper men and told them all about
it. He says that with all the protests
lie has not, been given any 'facts'
which contradiet those upon which

MEET US AT JAMESTOWNI

Which Princess Pocahontas Alias
Matoaca Rebecca Rolfe, was
Baptized and Married

In Norfolk, E Na, we have seen
tile au1t(hentie ori._,inlal of tile portrilit
of Poenhlntas, painted while she was
on a visit to the royal family inl Bit
ian. I F we are not i mist akain there are
cop)ies of this porit rail ini lliclhmfond
and ini Williamsburg, Va.
In this porrail Poc(ahotas is
dressed1 like a Court lady of the
pieriod. She wears a ruby-colored:
velvet waist, long and( stiff, a broad
lace collar, with an Elizabethan flare
to it in the back, lace cuffs, p)earl
ear rings and1( a1 higherowned hat. She
carries a gorgeous feather fan in her
right hand. Tihe face is very expres
sive and, except a serious thoughtful
ness, hns but little of the traditional
stolidity of the JIndiani. The ''first
families'' ar'e descended froin a very
good looking young woman.
She w~as the first American girl to
go to thme Englishm Court and be wvond
ered at and admired by thme fine ladies
and nole men there. And certainly
*she was of' bettecr blood than either
Consuelo Vanderbilt or Anna Glould
or the Mackey girl that became Prini
cess Colonna. *Whether shu had a
happier time with lher foreign hums
band than these ri American girls
weO do0 not. know. At all events she
did not sue for a divorce. Pocahon

.You .may hoar and read much talk
about this or that American girl, very
beautiful, and always very rich, who
has married an Englishman an'd had
a gay time at the King's or Queen's

that no one of them is so well:born
