THE New SuERrFF.-The new Sheriff, S. H.
Rothelmel, took possession of his office week be-
fore last, and the Old Sheriff, John b. Heller,
retired. Mr.. Rothermel assumes the duties of
his Office with that business-like manner for
which he has long been known. His gentleman
ly department, in connection with a thorough
knowledge of business, will no doubt make him
a popular officer. His friends who have stood
by him at the recent election will have no cause
to regret that they labored hard to secure him
the office. Since he has taken possession of the
office we have even heard Democrats speak of
him in the highest terms. The Office will under
go 4 general Ienovating, and business will be
done in more systematic manner.

MISS KATE FIELDS eight months in
England has given her time to view and
compare-at characterization women
and their rights, with English women and
their rights, and she says very decidedly
:" We have the best of it." and she wishes
that, instead of American ladies adopting
European customs, they would preserve
their own (being so much more desirable)
until they would offer an example the
whole world might copy. 6 Unmarried
women in Europe are suppressed to ter
rible extent. Tome they and their dreadful
maids are the most forlorn, as we'll as the
absurdest of sights" Englishmen, while
they would frown upon an English girl
'striking out" for herself after Miss Fields
independent fashion, were ready enough to
compliment and approve of the young
American lady, and to her deplore the
stupid propriety which they claim is always
prominent in the manner of English girls
toward them. But woe betide those same
girls if they attempt to follow her example.
So she congratulates herself that she is an
American, and bids all her countrywomen
do likewise.

Lady Holland.

Lady Holland once sent her page round
the table to Macauley to tell him to stop
talking. She told Rogers: ''Your poetry
is bad enough, so be sparing with your
prose-" At dinner in South street she
fidgeted Lord Melbourne so much by MAX
ing him shift his place when he was seated
to his liking, that he rose, exclaiming :
"I'll be ---- if dine with you at all ~
and walked off to his own house, fortu-
nately at hand.
She requested celebrated dandy to move
a little further off, on the ground that her
olfactory nerves were offended by his
backing the backing which he vowed
was diluted with champagne. Shortly after
NJ. Van dc Viewers arrival in England as
the Belgian minister, he was dining with a
distinguished party at Holland house, when
Lady Holland suddenly turned to him and
asked: :" How is Leopold ?v "Does your
ladyship mean the king of the Belgians ?"
81 have heard" she rejoined, of Flem-
ings, Hainaulters and Brabanters, but
Belgians are new to me-" His reply was
"My lady, before had the honor of be-
ing presented to you, had often heard you
spoken of not only as woman Of intelii-
gence and wit, but as woman who had
read much. Well, it is possible that you
in your readings have never met the book
by person named julius Caesar, who in
his commentaries gives to our nation the
name of the Belgians, and this name we
have preserved till our days."

SCIENTIFIC LECTURES,

A movement is on foot to maugurate O
course of popular scientific lectures in this
city. The course will be splendidly illus.
trated, and made especially valuable to the
people generally, and to the schools.
The Richmond Wing contains the fol-
lowing announcement this morning:
CDR. Z. P. Rowland, Of Washington
city, who is known as a gentleman Of
ability and great scientific research, has
been solicited to deliver course of scien-
tific lectures here this winter, and he has
consented to do so upon certain conditions
that, we believe, have been or will be guar
anteed. The course will cover microscopy,
electricity, optics and natural history, all
finely illustrated. In optics, electricity
and microscopy, he will exhibit experiments
Of most striking kind, his machinery and
equipments for this purpose being most
complete and costly.
The city School Board have agreed that
the teachers of the public schools and some
of the more advanced classes shall attend
these lectures and experiments, the Board
bearing the expense, and it is hoped that
manufacturers, mechanics, and citizens gen.
orally will take such an interest in the course
as will insure its complete success. The
course will extend over two weeks, during
which period there will probably be three
lectures week to the public at some of the
halls in the city. DR.. Rowland will prob
ably come before Christmas, if satisfactory
arrangements be made. Time, place and
terms Of his lectures will be duly an
nounced.

LOCAL MATTERS,

A HARD CAsE.-We have frequently
had occasion to commend the impartial and
humane action of Judge White, of the
Police Court, in the most trying and per-
picking cases, and we are convinced that
he is a just and fearless man. But like all
of us, he is liable to err. We think he
erred in sending the aged and decrepid col
ored man, John III. Coots, to the city Jail
yesterday as vagrant, as the only course
which he was authorized by law to pursue.
We respectfully call the Judges atten-
ton to section seven, chapter forty-seven,
of the city ordinances, which prescribes,
in our opinion, different course from that
pursued in the case of Coots. Such SUBJ
jects may certainly be sent to the city Aims
house. The expenses thus incurred
may, according to the seventh and
eighth sections of chapter forty-one,
Code of 1860, be charged and collected
from the county or city in which the
subject was last settled and resident.
We refer to this matter to excite further
inquiry, as cases Of the kind arc constantly
coming up, and the best disposition should
be made Of them which the laws permit.
The cells of the city Jail are miserable
places even for criminals, and should never
close upon those who are merely unfortu-
nate, if there is any other possible recourse.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-11-19

The Poor AND DESTITUTE The
winter weather is upon us. We are thus
reminded of the poor and destitute mortals
among us. We trust human benevolence
will be quickened to practical works, and
that no one will be permitted to suffer for
the necessaries of life. We think some
systematic plan of relief should be
adopted. We cannot believe that
the means to prevent suffering would be
lacking if judicious system Of disburse-
ments as well as collections were adopted.
Many noble ladies and gentlemen gave the
poor much relief last winter but if we
are rightly informed no organiza-
ton of persons or means for this
object exists in the city, and the efforts
of our benevolent people have been put
forth without concert, and have necessarily
been less effective than if made through o
organized relief committee or So
ciety. Let the good people of Richmond
move in this matter, and give of their sur
plus to the many destitute families to be
found in our midst.

THOUGH the Anglo-Saxon woman's
advance may be said to be along the whole
line of battle, yet the Anglo-British wing
bids fair sooner to have victory perch upon
its banners than the Anglo-American. The
reason we have already indicated above.
In the main, both fight for Justice and
right; only tho former employs the more
effective acknowledgement, persuasive
ness and moderation.
1t is on account of these wise tactics that
Miss Emily Faithful, Mrs. Millicent Faw-
cett, Lydia Baker, and that noble band of
English women who head the agitation have
practically accomplished more than our
Susan Anthonys, Lucy Stones, Mrs.
Livermores, and their associates. They
have already forced their way into
the outer courts of solemn Cambridge,
and have lured her learned pundits to ex-
pound the sciences to embryo "petticoat
graduates" The holy fholies of ancient
Trinity and Pembroke is closely besieged by
an army ofgallant danes and damsels, and
will soon capitulate. Oxford is alarmed and
there are traitors within the walls of the
fortress on the Isis who loudly declare that
women have as much right as men to q
university education.
Here, on the other hand, our great
Northern institutions of learning show no
sign of surrender. Harvard still snubs,
Yale ridicales, and Amherst contemns the
demand of female students for participation
in their advantages. 1t is as yet only in
the new and less conventional West that
the doors of the colleges have been opened
to would-be "sweet baccalaureatcs." -

Disastrous Fire In BROOKLYN.

Neso York, November ls.-The large
store-horse of Woodruff & Robinson, al
the foot of Amity street, Brooklyn, was
destroyed by fire this afternoon. The
building covered an area of $50 by 200
feet, and was five stories in height. 1t had
grain elevator seven stories high. The
lire is believed to have originated in the
journals of the grain elevator.
AT one time it was feared the flames
would spread to the shipping in the river,
and many vessels had to be lowed from
their moorings.
Large quantities of grain and sugar were
destroyed in store. The machinery was
also completely ruined. The grain de-
stroyed is valued at 100000. 1t be-
longed to various firms in New York, and
was insured. Total destruction by the
fire about 100000. One hundred men
are thrown out of employment.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IS, l

w ASHlNGTON, NOV. 10, 1917.
To the Editor Of the State Journal:
Members of Congress begin to come
here--even members of the third house, are
already on hand in swarms. But claim
seekers and place-hunters won't have as
perfect swing as in some times past. Gen.
Grant declares his purpose to faithfully and
fully carry out the rules adopted for the civil
service operation and he has given an
earnest of the future in his treatment OF
the Philadelphia Postoffice case.
Jack Frost has commenced rather severe
reign already-things froze hard the last
two nights.
DR.. e. P. Rowland, of this city, who has
heretofore been so popular in this city1and
elsewhere with his scientific lectures,
before the schools and public audiences, is
soon going to your city (Richmond) with all
his varied and costly apparatus and instru.
ments, to give lectures to the schools and
public. His instruments are all of the
latest and best styles, from the best manu-
facturers in Europe, including spectroscope,
microscope, electroscope, palaiescope, and
many others, with which he produces a
great variety of interesting objects, and
projects them on large screens. His lee
lures are highly useful and pleasing to stu
dents and the public.
Last week made visit to the splendid
nurseries Of Mr.. D. O. Munson, at Falls
Church, where he has some fifty acres in
fruit and ornamental trees for sale, and is
constantly putting in more. l never saw
grounds cleaner or in better order, nor
finer looking trees, and here, must say,
in regard to all Virginia nurseries, and to
those starting young orchards, the best
evidence everywhere is that it is better to
buy and plant trees from nurseries in the
State than to 60 to the North for them.
Young orchardsts will make note of this
