In reply to the Kentucky editor of the
-INTER-OCEAN the Virginia Editor will
say that the 400 Of the illiteracy Of
Virginia is made up of the entire negro
population,,and a few dl%sreputable whites,
all of whom. are Republicans and follow
can party has swallowed whole. This,
in spite Of the fact that they tried to rob
the school fund, paralyzo the state goy-
eminent and repudiate the states honest
debts. Any respectable Virginian has no
political intimacy with such an element.
They haye left political alliances of that
kind to Northern Republicans.
"The entire negro population of
Virginia is not now in the list of illit-
eracy. They were in that list, however,
prior to their emancipation and until
such time as the Republican party
made it possible for them to attend the
public schools. As to the respectable
Virginians"-the white element claimed
by the News editor as belonging to the
Democratic party-we find that almost
20 out of every hundred Zone fifth of
the white population) cannot write;
while in Dakota less than two per cent
of the total population is unable to
write.
Lat lis take the percentage of litter
acy that prevails in Virginia among
the white people who vote. Of the
white males over Fl years Of age who
cannot write fifteen and three-tenth!
per cent cannot write. That is to say
out of every 100 voters in the old state
Of Virginia more than Afteen Of then
are unable to write their own names
while in DAKOTA less than four out o
every hundred whites are unable t
write. Will the Virginia editor of tn
News pretend to say that this Is PEI
cent belongs to the Republican party
can he maintain such a theory in tn
face of the fact that statistics invariably
show the Democracy to be composed
largely of the illiterste classesi

a INDUSTRIOUS DECISION.

Judge Tnley Of Chicago, who is said To
be "a Democrat of eminent respecta-
bility," recently rendered a remarkable
decision, the gist of which is as follows:
A slave of Col. Tom Marshall, OF Ken
lucky, by the name of James Washing.
ton was married in 1920 to another
slave as lawfully as it was possible for a
slave % b, but Judge Tuley holds that
inK Kentucky slaves were held as rea1
estate. and 1t would be absurd to say
that one piece Of real estate could
marry another.
Thus decision is 80 far reaching and

Girls in a Candy Store.

In confectionery establishment where half dozen pretty young women are em- ployed behind the counters noticed one of the latter cram half a dozen caramels into her mouth at once and appear to enjoy them hugely. She stood in full view of the pro prietor as she did so and expected to see him administer reproof. Instead of doing so he only looked at me and knowingly closed his left eye. II should think terrible inroads must be made in your stock if all your young women have appetites like that" observed l. 'Not bit of it," he responded, 'swhen @ young woman is engaged to sell candy for this house she receives permission to eat just as much as she likes; with the strict understanding, however, that she is not to carry any out of the store. She avails herself of the permission readily enough, btft she doesn't devour half so much the second day as she does the first; on the third she gets away with even less and at the end of a week she wouldn't give you ten cents for the contents of the whole shop, so far as her own appetite is concerned. The girl who bolted these caramels just now thinks she's the luckiest girl alive. In q week she won't care whether all the candy shops in the country keep school or not, so long as her own erA- ployment is secure. My advice to youth with candy devouring girl is for him to feed her steadily with it for a week. At the end of week he can devote his salary to other uses. h-Chicago Journal

A VOUDOO's PRESCRIPTION.
Louis Hill lsoils Snakes Head in Coffee
 for His Wife.

for His Wife.
 MEMPHIS, Sept. 21.-Louis Hill, a negro fugitive from Urson county, Miss, was ar rested near this city by the Sheriff of Union county, who came upon him accidentally. Five years ago Hill resolved to get rid of his wife in order to marry dusky belle who had enslaved him. He consulted voudoo priest, who told him to extract the pois sn from a moccasin snake and administer it to his wife ill the seventh hour of the seventh day fol- lowing. He succeeded in capturing the moe casin, but the reptile was so vicious that he was afraid to make the extraction of its poi son bag He therefore cut off it's head and breakfast.
 She was immediately taken ill and for a week fingered between life and death, but finally recovered. The snakes head was found among the coffee grounds, which Hill had thrown beside his cabin, and he was ar- rested and indicted for an attempt at murder. His cell companion was George Townsend, a notorious horse thief. Townsend obtained from the jailer knife and a piece of hard wood for the ostensible purpose of making trinket for the jailers daughter. Out of this wood he made a key, and with it sue ceeded in turning the bolt of the cell. He and the negro both escaped Hill came to the neighborhood of Memphis, where he has been ever since. Townsend was recaptured. and is now serving long term in the Mis- sissippi penitentiarY.

A BOLD BANK ROBBER.

He Steals Packages from Two New York
 Banks in Broad Day-He Fights Off
 His Pursuers. but is Captured.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Henry F. Harding alias R. F. Seymore, who says he recently came here from Chicago jumped on the wire coping of the Fifth National bank about noon, and, snatching three packages of money, each containing 1000, while the pay ing teller's back was turned, started to run away. The cashier had noticed the theft and gave the alarm, and Harding was pursued but escaped. In his flight he dropped one of the packages.
 A couple of hours later Harding walked into the Commercial National bank, on Wall street, and pursuing the same tactics-while the teller's attention was called elsewhere he abstracted two packages containing $S, 7OO which he dropped into flannel bag. The theft was noticed by bookkeeper, who gave the alarm and started in pursuit. The bag caught in the iron railing outside the door and was wrenched from Harding's hand Without waiting to recover the bag Harding started on the run down Pearl street, followed by large crowd He drew a revolver and fired two shots at his pursuers without injur- ing any one.
 He ran as far as Maiden lane before being caught, and he fired two more shots at Policeman Nesbitt before he was crested
 He was identified at the police station later by the clerk and porter of the Fifth National bank as the same person who had robbed that institution earlier in the day.
