Popular education in India some

cRANks AT WASHINGTON.
A Harmless Idiot Who is Sane Six Days of
the Week.


the Week.
Washington has no end of queer
characters. The cranks drift to the
capital of the nation as naturally as the
water which flows to the sea. 1t is a
dull week when one or more of these
insane people do not turn up with the
avowed intention of taking possession
of the White House. They usually are
willing to compromise with d call at
the station, house until their friends can
be communicated with. We have
some native ..cranks" who are at large,
but these are all well known and are
not supposed to be dangerous. One of
the most amusing Of these cases
is an elderly gentleman, who is
reported to be wealthy and who is as
sane as anybody six days in the week, but
whose infirmity breaks out every Sun
day He is harmless enough, and his
people humor him in his freaks. Every
Sunday he goes to church three times.
He selects different church for each
service. He enters, and invariably OBJ
tains seat in the center of the church,
SO as tobe as conspicuous as possible.
In the middle of the exercises, boy
dressed as district messenger comes
down the aisle with an envelope which
looks as though it contained a telegram.
He quickly gives it to the old man. who
tears it open, reads the writing con-
tanned therein. seizes his hat and quickly
leaves the church, after which he goes
home. No one has been able to dis
cover the reason for the curious craze,
but it is said that his family indulge him
in it by the advice of physicians, who
say they are of the opinion that if he
should be restrained this mild form Of
insanity would probably develop into q
far more dangerous type. Washington

How Rodent Was Crenated by Means of
Electricity.
The complete disintegration OF a rat
by electricity so that it retained all of
its natural appearance, but crumbled
to dust as soon as touched by metal, is
vouched for by Mr.. Henry j. Tolbert,
now visiting Philadelphia although
electricians connected with the electric
light plants in this city remain rather
incredulous. The story was told to a
Nesos-gatherer yesterday
The city of Reading is furnished a
portion of its light by company, which
produces the electric current by means
of the Brush machines. Mr. Tolbert
SAYS that he visited the plant of the
Reading company, and while looking
at the brushes gathering the sparks of
the fluid rat came running over the
floor. To escape his human enemies,
he jumped directly to the floor on to
one of the brushes and was thrown
back to the ground. He lay motionless,
apparently and certainly dead, but
without even a hair turned. One OF
the employees was sent with shovel to
gather it up, but as soon as the shovel
touched it the rat fell to dust, with a
little cloud of particles rising from the
place where its body had seemingly
lain. There was no vestige of hair.

Death Of Mrs. T. L. Thorpe.

The sad news of the death of this greatly be.
loved lady, nee Miss Addie Steedman, reached
here last Saturday morning and cast gloom of
profound sorrow over the whole community.
No one, except, perhaps. few of her relatives
were aware Of her being sick, consequently the
news Of her death fell upon our hearts with
greater solemnity aud sadness because of its
suddenuess.
Mrs. Thorpe was born ia this town. and was
the only child Of the late Maj. J. B. Steedman,
Of this place, who, onlye on year and few days
ago, was laid in his silent tomb in our vii.
lage graveyard. beside the lamented mother OF
Mrs. Thorpe.
Mrs. Thorpe was Lady of superi or qualities
Of head and heart. Highly educated, refined
dignifed and genial in her Intercourse with all,
she always attracted friends, who grew stronger
and frmer in their friendship rs they grew
more intimate with her, and could appreciate
the many beauties Of her sincere Christian
character.
In this community all who knew her sincerely
ad N ired and loved her. In her young woman
hood she was bright centre star in our social
circle, adding refinement, dignity and bright
ness to its proverbially high moral and intelec-
tual tone.
Mrs. Thorpe died on the 18th inst, at wssh-
ingtop, ID. c., while op visit to friends in that
city. and was buried in the village graveyard
OF GAINESVILLE, Va, her place Of residence.
We extend our sympathes to the bersaved
husband Ia his great afAiction.

ORANGE TREES UNrNJuRED.-Gainsville, Fla,
February II The annual meeting of the State
Press Association was held here yesterday.
Representatives were present from all parts of
Florida. The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
Resotoed, That we, the members of the Flor
ida Press Association, coming from all parts Of
the State, On d therefore fully cognizsnt of the
real condition Of the orange groves as now
shown at the end of thirty days from the freeze,
state the following facts in reference thereto:
First-That in consequence Of the exceeding
low temperature large part Of the fruit re-
naming on the trees was frozen.
'Second-That the bearing trees and the
trees which were in healthy condition received
no injury, although losing their leaves, and are
already budding, with promise of fair crop
the present year.
'Third-That although the trees in the north
erly counties are not as advanced in budding
out, it is believed that in no portion of the or
ange growing regions Of Florida have the trees
suffered any material damage.
'Fourth-.That 1t has been demonstrated that
orange trees can sustain q much lower degree
Of cold than has been heretofore supposed,
giving renewed assurance of the safety and
durability of the orange growing interests of
the State
