Captain NJ. NJ. Rogers: There is nc
doubt that railroad from the Soutl
would be good thing for Roanoke
The more railroads we get here the
better it will be. Two railroads arc
not enough
Mr.. w. II. Lookabill IAN old railroad
man, said the people would not fee
the additional taxation on the
500, 600, and that the Roanoke and
Southern would be worth millions tic
the city.
Councilman r. A. Buckner said il
the city could stand Il subscription
of 100000 three years ago it certainly
could afford TO vote $780, 600 now.
Mayor Carr looked on the compile
tion of the Roanoke and Southern
Railroad as only Il question of time.
If the city should withhold its assis-
tance the Baltimore and Ohio will
have to step IN.
Mr.. James S. Simmons, the real
estate agent, when asked if he favored
voting the additional subscription
SAID, Most assuredly | do. The road
would add 10000 people to the city in
three years, and with the added enter
prises and increase of business would
bring many thousand more. The
best and judicious thing our people
could do would be to vote the amount
asked for | believe the subscription
would be voted for almost unani-
mously by our free-holders. Roanoke
has already taken her stand as one of
the most prosperous cities in the south,
and we should use our utmost endea-
vors TO further her interests in every
way.
Mr. j. Z. Wingfield, tie real estate
agent, was emphatically in favor OF
voting the additional subscription.
Mr.. J. G. L. Bell, a Commensurate
grocer. favored voting the subscrip-
ton of ;:l0O,O 900, us the completion of
the RoauOke and Southern Railroad
would be of great benefit 10 the city.
Captain w. X Rice, one of the old
est residents OF the city of Roanoke,
said he would much rather give 5000
TO the Roanoke and Southern Rail
road than half of that 70 the Craig
Railroad.
Messr,. Fox 6 Christian, proprietors
OF the Roanoke Pharmacy, were de

additional subscription.
Mr. c. Y. Whaling, the well-known
livery man, was in favor of voting the
subscription every time.
Constable Watkins said the sub
scription of an additional 100000
should be given by all means.
Many others were talked with on
this iinportont subject, and with the
exceptions gwen above, no one was
opposed TO voting the additional sub
scription. The feeling everywhere
expressed was that of pride in the
city. love for her people, andLfaith in
her future growth and prosperity.
All seemed ready 10 make any reason

welfare and increase the size and
wealth of Roanoke.

by two loud explosions which fol
lowed each other in rapid succession.
In a short time the police and Il
number of citizens arrived on the
scene, and on examination it was
found that the residence of Mrs.
Annie Dent was the place at which
the explosion had occurred. Some
person or persons had thrown Il dyna
mite cartridge through! a window into
the front room OF the dwelling, and
had exploded another under the steps
leading into the house. y large hole
had been made in the floor of the
room and all the glass in the front
window had been broken. The
weather boarding had been torn off
also in one place, and the general APP
pearance of things there reminded
one of Il building struck by one OF
more small sized rifle shells during the
war.
No one was in the building at the
time of the shock except Mrs. Dent
and her children, who fortunately
were not injured by the explosion
The perpetrators Of the outrage have

traveller. delivered an exceedingly in
teresting lecture Ut Association Hail
last night on the penal system for pris-
oners in Siberia, and was listened TO
by very large audience. His graphic
description of the horrors of convict

was requested to cal! Il conference OF all
those Interested III the sub

That the sUirerinss of Siberian pris-
oners be aIleviated to ut least some
extent.
The Rev Dir. McVicar, who is rector
of the Church OF Holy Trinity, was
selected because he was the author OF
the suggestion. bfr. KEENAN,, in a
brief address, approved heartily OF
the plan, but his hopes OF ever seeing
better condition than that now eX-
listing in Russian territory were very
slim. DR.. McVicar will, however, take
active steps in the matter in a short
time.

Teasing Children.

Children are largely what they
are made to be. The faults OF
their parents and the evils of their
rearing, are fixed in children, to
be part of their character when
they have grown up. They may
be taught to be petulent, iraclbIc,
quarrelsome, and quick TO form
their conclusions in ignorance; OF
self.containcd, habitually demon,
strating their conclusions, polits
and restrained temper. Theprac-
tlce of teasing children is q con.
centrated foolishncss that some
people are guilty OF. If a chile
has u little weakness, they make
that "a subject Of irritation for the
purpose of seeing the picture OF
the angry little one distorted with
a passion that does not belong to
it. and they laugh at the Sight o.
the injury they have wrought.
But If the child is resentful under
this provocat'on, they are horr.Ic:'
! tho child is impudent Or v,ciou,
and ought to be punished. There
arc two kinds Of children who DO
not mind teasing. One is Of 'e
naturally amlable disposition and
will take a good deal Of teasing
| before resting it; and the ether
doesn't care and would as soon be
tormcnted as praised. Neither c;
these children is as promisiA, :s

intelligence and good sense need

Facts About Human Life.

There are 1904 languages in
the world, and its inhabitants
profess more than one thousand
religions. The number of men Is
about equal to the number of wo
men. The average Of life is about
thirty three years. OncQuarter
die previous to seventeen. TO l 900
persons only one reaches one hun
dred years Of life; to every 100 six
reach the age Of sixty five, and
not more than one IN 60 lives to
eighty years. There are on the
earth 100000 inhabitants, Of
these 33,033,033 die every year;
81, ,S24 every day; 3,73S every hour,
go every minute, or one every
second. The married are longer
lived than the single, and above
all, those who observe a sober aad
industrious conduct. Tall men
live longer than short ones. Wo-
men have more chances Of life in
their favor previous to fifty years
of age than men have, bu6 fewer
atterward. The number or mar
riages is In the proportion of
seventytive to 1000 individuals.
Marriages are more frequent after
equinox, that is, during the
months of June and December,
Those born in the spring are
generally Of q more robust consti-

more frequent by night than by

that express kindly, sympathe-

Il gift that far outshines physical

Who Of us hays not forgotten

ful under the witchery of beautiful
manners, the expression Of a we'll

acquired, politcncss may be culti-
waited, but manner is the express
ion Of the nature, and brings the
object TO it's own level, at least for
the moment. We 60 out from the
presence of gentle manners at

us carry the ideal of perfect grace

What is disc ourtesy but q disrc-

culture as the highest form Of the

as the heart has kept peace with
the head, and sees in its own

Let US lose the phrase, learn to

vate the heart and head, that the

reached" True manner sees the
limitations OF another's tempera
ment and opportunity, and leaves
them untrammeled, knowing every
man has his own code oj morals

we only hold fast to the thought

Some five years ago l wrote let

that S 5 S brought a permanent
