FASTING FoRTY-srx DAYS AND STILL
ALIvE.-Miss Chloe Ann Violet, who
started out on starvation fast, In obedi-
ence to the command Of the Lord, as she
claims, on the 9th OF November last, forty
six days ago, Is still fasting. Those who
live in the house with her assert that she
has not taken food OF any kind during that
time, and that every effort 10 get her 10 eat
has been made without success; that she
has resisted every temptation. She is now
so weak that she II unable to move herself
in her bed. Miss Violet was once lively,
robust lady, but II is said that those who
knew her few years ago would not be
able TO recognize her now. She has fallen
away 10 a mere skeleton. DIR. McWilliams,
OF Washington, visits Miss Violet daily

vi. vi w vi. T..
c. Jordan, Of Jordan's Springs Mr.. Arthur
Menefee, Of Fauquier; and DR.. Dean, Of

ent times for about ten days, under the
experienced guidance of the Messrs.

success. The result was 90 deer
ID Of which were bucks-23 turkeys,
and an amount Of small game, consisting
OF pheasants, rabbits, dc. Eight Of the
deer were killed by Mr.. John Wilson, four
by Mr.. Thomas Wilson, one by Mr.. Henry

Jordan, and two by DR.. Dean, Of Washing
ton, and one by Mr.. Green b. Samuels, Of

thorized by the Comptroller OF the Cur
rcncy to pay dividend OF % per cent. TO

Measures are being taken for thorough
oyerhauling Of accounts in all the depart

chief clerk.
Treasurer Winans has been suspended,
and two policemen had charge OF his office
last night to prevent any tampering with
its accounts. This morning Alderman

clerk, VIM. A. Hall, has disappeared, and
detectives are pursuing him. He obtained
leave OF absence yesterday morning 10 90
to New York ostensibly for Christmas

suspected of collision in the Auditors
robberies. The Mayor has called special
meeting Of the Common Council to be held
tonight TO take action on the frauds dis
covered in the Auditors Office. Halls wife
states that she left him i'm New York, bound
for Baltimore. 1t is suspected, however,

cred in the city treasurer's accounts.

travelling preachers in the Virginia Con-
ference of the Church Of the United
Brethren in Christ. having been presiding
elder here in theNalley for some years.

THE SOUTHERN BEAUTY.-An Atlanta
(Ga.) letter to the Cincinnati Commercial
saws "The southern beauty, a seen at
the Cotton Exposition, is aslender brunette,
with classic features, faultless, though deli
cate. form, and flashing black eyes. There
is another type, less numerous, but Just as
attractiye-the robust blonde, graceful ana
debonair. Still a third type may be noticed
here. Strangers will find it prominent
among the two, but she cannot be properly
classed as beauty. That is the blondine,
who must be called pretty, but not beautl-
full; whose dignified manner, charming
presence and graceful carriage necessarily
add 10 her natural attractions. She is not
in mixed throng in greater percentage
than either OF the others, and when seen
invariably commands extensive and re-
spectful comment from the opposite sex. "
