A PRACTICAL JOKE
Pcrpetrated nj the Expense of Bag.
gage-Mnster RobeY.

Ladies desiring to enjoy the companion
ship of their pet dogs on passenger trains
are required TO pay the sum of twenty I've
cents. The money goes to conciliate the
baggage master for any attention that the
poodle may need on his journey. Although
it is a very trifling amount, many of the
wealthy and luxuriant ladies who like
small dog society look upon the charge as
an extortion and adopt various methods to
avoid payment. They contend that the
little things are like the babies of more
fortunate ladies, and like babies they should
ride gratis but the railroaders are firm
and nothing but the cash will satisfy them.
Yesterday, on one of the incoming passen-
ger trains on the Baltimore & Potomac
Railroad Conductor Ferguson took advant-
age of the custom to enjoy piece of pleas
antry at the expense of Baggagemaster
Robey. handsomely -attired lady sat on
n seat in one of the coaches, and he noticed
that she had in her possession toy dog,
probably for the child of some relative
in Washington He informed Mr..
Robey Of the circumstances and immedi-
ately the enterprising baggagemaster hur-
ried to his victim to reap his customary
stipend. The lady was astonished at his
demand, and stoutly denied that she had
any dog. The baggagemaster could not be
beaten in that way. He declared that she
did have dog, and the lady, to appease
him, produced the manufactured article. 1t
is needless to say that Mr.. Robey hastily re-
treated.

Ex-Governor spraguo Marries Again

Ex-Governor William Sprague, of Provi
dence, r. L. was married last night at the
Virginia Hotel, in Staunton, Va, to Mrs.
Dora Inez Calvert, who had arrived there
from Greenbrier County, w. Va, few
hours before the ceremony was performed.
The officiating minister was Rev. Walter
@. Hullihen of Trinity Episcopal Church.
The Governor reached Staunton on We'd
nesday. Upon the arrival Of the lady, who
is understood to be divorced, and who is
native of Connecticut, but has been resid-
ing in West Virginia fourteen years, the
ex-senator applied at the county clerks
Office for a license which was re-
fused. He then applied at tho city
clerks office, and was again refused, the
clerk telling him that the lady must be a
resident of Staunton for the license to be
legally granted The anxious lover then
sought the counsel of the city attorney
Edward Rehob. The result was that Mrs
Calvert presented herself to Clerk Argen-
bright, and said 'Ieam resident of this
city, and have no other residence in the
world. 1t is my usual place of abode, and
if necessary you can have my affidavit to
that effect" Rev. Mr. Hullihen, having
been then sent for, united the two in the
bonds of holy matrimony in the hotel par
lor, in the presence Of the proprietor, Mr..
j. D. Crowle and his wife, Edward Rehoh,
and Samuel A. Spriggle. The 1 o'clock
train took the bridal couple northward.

Gales In the ChesRpeake.

Vessels arriving at the wharves report
that terrific gale swept over the Chesa-
peake on Wednesday night. The wind
blew from the northwest, commencing
early in the evening and soon the entire
bay was lashed into fury. Many vessels
were detained at the different ports and
those which went out incurred great risk
of being lost; it is supposed that several
vessels of the smaller kind which ventured
out were wrecked. The officers of the Ex-
that they were detained many hours by
the gale. The waves were unusually high
and frequently the main deck of the
steamer was covered several inches in
water. The Jane Mosely Oh her way to
Norfolk laid over at Point Lookout to
avoid the storm.

their way South to engage in "evangellstlc''

MAY II. 1889.
Mr.. William +. Payne, an old resident.
died Saturday morning from overdoses OF
laudanum. He had bought on Friday a
two-ounce vial Of laudanum. on which was
labelled the quantity to be taken for dose,
saving that he wanted 10 Use it for cough,
and the vial was afterwards found empty.
Friends were aSSiduouS i'm their efforts 10
restore during Friday night, and they sue
ceeded in partially arousing him short
time before his death. | am informed by
one of the physicians that appearances did
not indicate that Mr.. Payne had used the
laudanum for the purpose OF committing
suicide.
1t is a sad thing to have 70 report the
death of Mrs. Lea. wife Of Mr.. John &.
Lea, formerly Miss Mamie Thomas, OF
Halifax county. She died at her home here
Saturday evening. after q long illness. The
remains were carried. at her request, to
Caswell county yesterday for burial.
Engineer Ballou's expectations as TO the
power OF the force-pump have not been
disappointed. At the highest part OF the
city it throws water fity-fiye feet from the
ground. whereas the pressure from the re-
scrvoir would not at that point throw the

Political Points.

Says the Philadelphia Press: The tidal
wave governors do not seem to be making
much progress towards the presidency, so
far as can be seen with the naked eye.
The contest for the Republican nomina-
nation for Governor OF kentucky lies be-
tween Colonel John Mason Brown, OF
Louisville, and Colonel William Cassius
Goodloe, Of Lexington, with the chances
in the latter's favor.
The truti is, says the Atlanta Constif,,-
ton, the negro is the situation and the sit
uation Is problem, and the sooner the
southern people take hold OF tlis problem
IN earnest tie better it Will be for the
whole couniiw. In the South and by the
southern peotbe alone Is this problem 20
be solved.
The New Oiseans Picayune says: To adj
gust the proportion between the amounts
30 be derived irsm those two sources. with
the least possible oppression and the creat-
est possible incidental announcement 10 ali
the industries Of tse country, is the whole
problem. The political necessity of the
hour is neither absolOiefree trade, nor tariff
for protection simply, but Tariff Reform.

yer, the Greenback leader, hopes to rally

II now said I'm a sort OF low whisper
that Governor CAMERON did not offer TO
give one thousand dollars to the Republic
cans OF Pennsylvania to aid them In carry
ing that State next fall.
But Il will be observed that 1t il not Gov.
ernor CAMERON who denies; nor Chairman
COOPER, nor Senator LoNGENEcKER, nor
the philadelphia Press, nor anybody else
that was present at the interview which
was granted 10 Governor CAMERON by the
Republican chairman, &C., at the Gov
ernor's own suggestion. VIII Governor
CANEwoN deny this statement through our
columnsy We have reproduced 1t so often
that we should like to be the first TO contra
dies II.
Surprising. however. that the denial Is
true. the fact that the rest OF the story Is
rot denied proves that Governor CAMERON
Is none the less a Republican because nc
did not offer TO subscribe a thousand dol
lars to the campaign fund Of the Republic
can party Of Pennsylvania. lie rendered
the services OF himself and General MA
HONE to stump Pennsylvania for the Repuc-
leans. This is not denied. lie said that
II the Republicans could carry Pennsyl-
vania this fall they could gain six southern
States next year. This Is not denied. lie
promised them Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, and
Tennessee, as reward for their zeal IN
CARRYING Pennsylvania this year.
So whether our Governor pledged h'm'
self to give a thousand dollars to the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania or not, he is
none the less a Republican.
Let the voters OF Virginia know the fact.
That is all we ask. If they knew in 1881
that they were electinga Republican, when
Colonel CAMERON mot Governor yeti had
assured them that General MALONE had in
effect cast but one vote with the HoARs,
EDMUNDsRs, and CAMER0Ns of the United
States Senate, they will sustain The Gov
yernor's Republican party in 1883.

The Cantl1rV.

How much more forcibly the eye speaks
than the memory. A thousand times mas
been corrected the erroneous supposition
that the present century began with the
wear 1900, vet the statement that such Is
the fact IS constantly repeated. The rea-
son is plain. The eye misleads the mind.
When the figures change from II to IS
from 1899 TO 1900, the mind, without
any reason for doing so except the figures,
Jumps TO the conclusion that new GEN.
fury has begun. Mr.. Lyons was born in
the last century-not the present. The
wear 1900 was in the last century
not the present. Nobody would say
that the year 30 was the last year OF
the first century; because everybody
knows that it takes 100 yeas to make
century. But here the eye is wit
ness TO the true state OF the case. You
can't make 90 look like 100. If, therefore,
The first century ended with 100, the Sec
ond must have ended with 200, the third
with 800, the fourth with 400, the tenth
with 1000, the fifteenth with 1900, and the
eighteenth with 1900. In other words, il
takes 1,s00 years, not 1,799, to make is
centuries. Therefore, again, the year 1901
was the first Of this century; and as Mr..
LYONS was born in 1890, he was. we repeat,
born in the last century.
