DEAR SIR:-BefOre the Executive Conserve
tive Committee of StauntOn, held it's first meet
ing about twOeweeks ago, i stated to you that
saw no necessity for primary election to nonli-
nate candidates for the May election, and also
that believed the sentiment of large major
tty of the Conservative voters of this city was
against it. Since the committee has decided
that q primary election should be held, have
made particular effort to ascertain the wishes
OF the Conservatives in regard to it and in my
opinion the opposition toit is SO strong and
general, that the committee should reconsider
its action and abandon the holding ola primary
election or let the matter be determined as

HOTEL ARRIVALS.

One of the star prima donnas of
the Imperial Opera, St. Petersburg,
recently took her benefit. On being
called the twenty ninth or thirtieth
time before the curtain, she advanc-
ed to the footlights, and addressing
the audience in the Russian Ian
guage, offered to show her gratitude
by singing a national Russian song.
The song was received with enthu-
siastic applause; but the prima don
ma was much disgusted when the
management subsequently fined her
1900 francs for addressing the
audience without permission"

CEsAR's wife, although beyond

CRsAR's wife, although beyond
suspicion herself, was often suspi-
cious that Julius was not altogether
regular in his habits. This arose
from q passionate fondness he had
for a popular game, since known as
The Cesarian," the indulgence Of
which often protracted his stay from
home until q late hour of night.
Although eighteen centuries have
passed since julius raised his leg
over one of the Cesarian tables, yet
the game is as fresh and popular as
if it was the creation of to-day.
This fascinating game can be found
at the Centennial, where Jim Yer
gon will be pleased to give the nee
essary instructions in its manipula-
ton.
