Death Of Professor WashinGt0n-KEis
Works and Life.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM II THE DrsPATcn.1
LEXINGTON, VA, Dec. 2.-Colonel W. D,
Washington, professor of fue arts in the
Virginia Military Institute, died ut the In.
stitute at 10 o'clock last night. He has long
suffered from spinal disease, which has been
heightened by recent attack, which has
resulted in paralysis, s%oftening Of the brain,
and death of fine natural talent. Colonel
Washington spent four years in Europe
studying his profession. and had devoted
himself to it with an enthusiasm which had
already won for him q wide-increasing repu.
tation. He had produced some master.
pieces: among them portraits of Jackson,
Rodes, Garland, and others, Of the fallen
Alumni of the Virginia Military Institute.
Closely allied to the great Washington
family, of popular name and high char.
acter, he dies lamented by a wide circle oil
friends. He was just thirty-six years old.
His widowed mother was with him for
several. days before his death.
Exercises ut the Institute were sus-
pended to-day and appropriate resolutions
passed by the faculty and cadets. He will
be buried at II o'clock tomorrow, in the
cemetery here. The faculty of the Insti-
tute and University, the corps Of cadets
and students will join in the procession.
Colonel Washington is the first professor OF
the Institute that has died a natural death
within the thirty years of its existence.

THE PACIFIC STATES n "HEATHEN
CHINEE."-Last night, Hon. s. B. Axtell,
M. G. from the LIST congressional district of
California, embracing the city of San Fran
cisco, where he resides, delivered a very
interesting lecture at CORTLAND Saunders's
College in aid of a fund for the relief of
distressed and disabled soldiers, their
widows and orphans.
The Chinese were spoken of and pro-
nounced an unmiXed evil. AS a people,
known to us, they have no domestic life,
and require neither church nor school. AS
we know them in the Pacific States, they
have no such relations as the family, and
can do absolutely nothing to build up q
community. What they eat and wear they
brought from China. What they earn they
do not invest here, but take back to their
country. The coolie was the old slave sys-
tenn. Its tendency was to degenerate labor
and establish a servile class. In this coun-
try labor is one of the fine arts, and its
rewards ought to be magnificent. Cheap
labor is a deIusion and a snare, and to make
contracts in Asia with Chinese to work in
this country for q period Of years at four or
five dollars a month, to bring them here and
supplant our own citizens, is not only a
folly, but if persisted in, a political crime.

that are dark and The tricks TINT are queer
practiced by human wickedness suf1cientis
occurring every day to show that the null
tiplying Of common schools, churches, and
county jails have no effect In keeping peo-
pie from being devilish. The latest case of
villainy came to light yesterday. 1t appears
that a gay young man who has becn figuring
very extensively In the city of Newark Won
the affections of q dashing young widow
Of that place, possessed ofconsiderable ready
money and some property. Heinduced her,
there being some opposition to their union
on the part Of friends, to leave and come to
this city and be married. They arrived here
and put up at one of the Courtlandt street
hotels, and after q few days sojourn the
graceless scamp disappeared, taking with
him all the money she had, besides her
jewelry and little trinkets. It was several
days before she made any complaint Of her
loss. Judge Cox, who had charge of the
case, thought it was too late to catch the
villain. This scamp has passed in the local
ity of Newark asa Southerner, bailing from
Mobile, where he claimed to belong to the
best families in that city, and gave his name
az Minor T. Simmons. He is q man about
five feet ten, about thirty years Of age, light
hair, and mutton.chop whiskers. The
sc%oundrel should be spotted.-Neso York

4 Cool THIEF.-The audacity, GOODNESS,
and readinss of some thieves, is most as

boarder at one of the fashionable boarding
houses in Dist street, on his way to bis room
from dinner, met a well-dresScd young man
ut the foot Of the hall-stairs with several
coats on his arm. "Wherc are you going
with this property" inquired the unSo-
phisticatcd boarder. 1910 be cleaned"

''To.morrow," promptly answered tue bo-
gus clothes-cleaner. "Be SURE and bring
It back tomorrow" remarked the verdant
hoarder, as he stripped off his oyer-coat and
handed it to the thief, who walked of with
his plumber. In d short time after it was
discovered that the house was robbed, and
during the evening 1t dawned on the be-
nighted mind of the Supplemented boarder
that the ~well-dressed individual he met on
the stairs aud carried Of his coat was not q

AN ABDUCTION SToRY.-A Washingto
lnftnr SnNS.

AN ABDUCTION SToRy.-A Washington
letter says:
"a colored woman called at the White
House to-day to see the President, and told
4 story Of alleged outrage on the part Of
an officer in the United States army, who is
charged with abGucting a child OF the
woman. Failing to see the President, she
reached the ear OF Gen. Dent, to whom she
stated that she had been attached 10 Il re"l-
mcnt Of infantry in Dakota nearly five years
as laundress, and that recently, in changing
some Of the companies from one post to
another, acertain captain had f0rclbiy taken
from her her young daughter, and carried
her of to Il distant post as servant, despite
all the resistance of both. The poor woman
tried her best 10 get justice done to her i'll
Dakota, but was unable. She found out, at
length, where her child had been taken, and
travelled through miles of dangerous coun-
try to the pest where she had been con-
yeyed, but was not permitted to see her
child. The captain drove her of, with i
threat that if she dared to come into the
barracks he would put q ball and chain on
her. The woman, who is about forty years
Of age, finding she could not recover her
child there, has travelled all the way from
Dakota Territory to Washington to see If
the Government will not interpose in the
case. General Dent, who heard the story,
promised to have the case laid before Gen.
Sherman,
