"a strange and unaaeountable story
that comes from Texas is the title Of
newspaper Letter telling about rose
bush, near Fort Worth, that when cut
drips human I,ood; pronounced to be
real and truly human blood by the best
chemists that ever tended bar in Texas.
We have read the Letter and the affida-
Wits of the apothecaries, but we can't
see anything strange or unaccountable
in it, even to the story of the skeletons
found under the rose bush. All is ex-
planned when it is remembered that I'M

Texas were banished to Fort WORTH

Wo'',en IN Diplomacy.

women tn Diplomacy.
The mission of woman does not be-
g1n and end with the platform or the
"rltlng OF books. Even for those who
are sometimes scornfully classified as
society women" there is broad
sphere of influence, wherein their graces
OF manner may have full sway. Nearly
nifty years ago when Edward Living
ston was given the mission to the
court OF France, John Randolph wrote
to him:
In Mrs. Livingston you have a most
able coadjutor. Dcavdies won't do for
European courts, Paris especially.
There and at London the character OF
administers wife is almost us important
as his own"
The event proved him right, for Mrs.
Livingston welded an immense infiu-
ence, scarcely less than that of her hus-
band, in supporting the rights and
honor of the American nation. A
woman full of grace and the charm
peculiar to one versed in social arts. she
awoke everywhere the admiration of
those with whom she associated, and
proved to them that America could
boast. among her untitled citizens, a
nobility equal to that of courts.
Although she had the gentlest Of
natures, Mrs. Livingston could be a
stlckler for etiquette, when any point
of'precedence threaten ed the national
honor.
AT one time there was o dispute con-
corning some social privileges claimed
by the wives of tie Secretaries OF Ier-
alton, and the Comte de st. Maurice,
whose province it was to settle points OF
etiquette, expressed surprise that the
representative OF a republic should at
tach Importance to such matters.
"Ah,' said Mrs. livingston, Eve mast
attach to them the same Importance
which you yourselves give them"
She gained her point, for the cham
berlain knew we'll that she understood
her rights, great and small, and was
capable of enforcing them.
Atanother time, the Duchesse de
Broglie, whose husband was minister
for foreign affairs, proposed giving a
dinner party for diplomatic parsonages.
None but am bassadors or ministers and
their wives were to be present, but it
finally came out that one young lady,
the niece of a certain dignitary, was
ALSO to appear at the table. This in
volvod honoring one country more than
the others, and Mrs. Livingston at once
interfered, saying that like courtesy
must be extended to the United States,
or The young lady must be denied the
privilege.
The duchess knew that che spoke
with the authority Of one who under
stool her rights, snd yielded the point.
When the conversation touched in
any manner, upon subjects involving
the credit or honor of her country, this
feminine diplomast was ready and keen
in retort.
The Prussian ambassador, one day
at Paris, spoke .ef Washington as a
meresyillage, and turning to Mrs. Liv-
ingsten asked what it's population was.
She replied at once. smiling, and with
q grace peculiar to herself;
about the same as that ssf Potts

Like most people who ventured to
measure swords with her, even in play
full encounter, he had no more 10 say.

Dedication of Bethel.

On May 18th, the second Sabbath of this
month, the newly erected Bethel church in
the county will be dedicated. Rev. Dr.. D.
K. Nc Farland, Of the First Presbyterian
Church of Staunton, will preach the dedi-
catory sermon. The memories connected
with the ancient edifice this new building
replaces, will made the dedication a very in
teresting occasion. The first Bethel church
was built in 1873, and it's first pastor was
the Rev. Archibald Scott, who lived near
Arbor Hill and who now lies in Hebron
church-yard. The spirit of religious liberty
was strongly abroad in Virginia in that
year, and it was in October Of 1873 that the
legislature went halfway and repealed all
laws providing for the salaries of ministers.
In place of it, the next year a scheme for a
general assessment for their support was
urged, but found no favor with the Bethel
Presbyterians, who memorialized the legis-
lature twice in one year-the year 17S4-to
let church matters alone. The next year,
the legislature passed MI. Jefferson's bill
for establishing religious freedom, which
ended the matter. These facts we find in
that admirable history, Waddell' s Annals of
Augusta The name of the pastor most
connected, in the memory of this generation,
with Bethel is that of the distinguished
Rev. Francis Mcfarland, d. D., who was
it's pastor for forty three years and died while
serving it. He was the father of our
present County Treasurer, Capt James n.
Mcfarland.

A Bad Illustration Of Civil Service
Reform Administration.

On May LIST, J. Frank Thompson, railroad
postal clerk for the past two years between
Staunton and Winchester, was removed,
and G. E. Neimeyer of Middletown, Md, ap-
pointed in his place. MI. Thompson had
every recommendation fol- the place-being
sober, punctual, attentive and reliable, and
having the following remarkable record OF
his Civil Service eXaminations-On the
West Virginia scheme of offices, he got 100:
on section of Pennsylvania with 1900 Of
fees, he got 1884; on the transcript of
scheme of offices in Virginia, he got 1892
on local scheme, 100; ON relations of Post
offices to routes in Maryland, 99.SS: West
Virginia routes, 1912; Maryland by co1m-
ties, 81 "A; Delaware, 1924; on instructions
to Railway postal clerks, 99.1s; on relations
of Virginia postofices to routes, 1898. The
successor appointed to fill his place has had
no postal clerk experience whatever! This
is a striking illustration, with the facts and
figures to back it, of the Civil Service Ere
FORM which was promised the country in
the National Republican platform, and re-
iterated by President Harrison.

Death from a Cherry Seed in an
Intestine.

| On Wednesday of last week, Paul E. Don
pvan, aged twenty years, son OF Capt.
John Donovan, graduate of the Staunton
Male Academy, and filing the position of
book-keeper at Eakle e Splitter S, was taken
sick. Medical aid was called and the young
man grew better, and by Sunday was re-
earded as doing very well, though there
we're slight unfavorable symptoms still. On
Tuesday he grew worse and decided signs
of peritonitis set in. On Wednesday last
at II clock he died. The case had been
remarkable one, and Dr.. A. M. Henkle,
DE-. H. H. Henkle, DR.. 7. w. Shell
ton and Dr.. J. st. P. Gibson who
had been connected with it as eth
Ell attending OF consulting physicians, de-
termined on an autopsy to discover the OIL
gin of it. The autopsy was made by them
on Wednesday. The peritoneal lnflamma-
| ton was found to be general and the origin
| of it was also found. Just below where the
small intestine enters the large intestine,
| there is short sack OF tube closed at the
bottom which is a part of the large intes-
UluC. LII UIl1S SCtCk UllClC lOtSCu d
ry seed which had set up Inflammation and
made two OIL three holes in the sack. The
result was to set up general inflammation
of the coating of the stomach and intes
tines, which proved fatal. The seed through
the action of the natural gases had become
friable.
When it was apparent that young Dono-
van was dangerously i'll, his aunt, Mrs
Joanna Scherer, who had been faithfully at
tending him, notified his relatives, and Capt
John Donovan, his father, of Kansas City,
Mo-; Mrs. Bridget Bolen, his grandmother,
of Louisville, KY; Mrs. Lena Moan, his
aunt, of Roanoke, Va, and Maj. A. M.
Rowan of Ronceverte, w. Va, a cousin,
came at once to the city, all arriving before
he died. His three brothers-John, Willie
and Fay; his aunt, Mrs. Ella Newman
of Louisville, and another aunt, Mrs. Kate
Hilbert of Roanoke, and her son, who were
notified later, did not arrive till yesterday
Young Donovan was one of those young
men whose good qualities had made his
way easy into the esteem and the affection
of all who knew him. Of handsome pre-
sence, modest demeanor, the highest inte-
gritty and fine business ability, he had moth
ing to ask for, but life, to have made his
mark in the community. With all, and
better than all, he lived a Christian life.
His father and his relatives will have the
sincere sympathy of the community. His
funeral will take place this afternoon from
st. Francis church, at 3 O'Clock, and will
be attended by the cadets Of the Staunton
Male Academy.
