LONDON, May i4-The police raid on the
Adelphi and Field clubs Sunday morning is
still the absorbing topic of conversation and
discussion in cluL and other circles, and many
narrow escapes from arrest on the part of
persons much higher in rank than any Of
those bagged are recounted. Among those
who, it is asserted, barely missed being caught
in the police trap is the Prince Of Wales, who
it is said was forewarned Of the coming Of the
officers, and left the Field club only few
minutes before their arrival Whether the
friendly tip was given by the police them
selves. in order to avoid the unpleasant and
probably fatal to them duty of interrupting
their future sovereign in the pursuit OF his
frequent pastiIne, is a question that remains
unanswered; nor is it probable that he would
have been included in the number arrested
had he been found there, though the fact Of
his presence would have made il very dis
agreeable for him in certain quarters.
Showing Favorltism.
Another instance of favoritism is given in
the case of Magistrate Montague Williams,
who was among the prisoners taken TO the
police station. He was Immediately released,
and every possible endeavor was made TO
hush the fact of his capture but il has leaked
out, and much indignation is expressed that
he should have been more favored than his
equally guilty companions The conviction
of the prisoners captured at the Adelphi club
is regarded as very doubtful if they are tried
before jury, as they have right to de
mand. The pIuprietors Of tbs club claim
that no offence against the law was com
mitted, as club rights permit games of chance,
and upon those rights they will stand in de-
fense. Much comment has been excited by
the enormity of the stakes played for at the
Field club, the counters found on the tables
by the police ranging in value from 20 TO
$500
Firing at the Gar.
kilograms received from Paris state that at
the Gatschina palace an officer of high rank
in the Russian army suddenly drew his re-
volver and fired it at the car. He missed
the object of his deadly assault by few
inches, and before he could fire a second shot
was seized by the guards and taken to prison.
| The wholesale arrest Of Russo-German otfi-
GERS in the Baltic provinces and their trans
! portation to st, Petersburg for trial indicates
that there have been recently several at
tempts to kill the czar, and that the authori-
ties have been uncommonly active in the dis
covery Of plots The telegrams received at
Paris come by the way Of Eydtkuhnea and
contain meager particulars.

TnE Democratic party of Virginia
should appreciate the fact that after
March 4th there viii be q Republican adj
ministration and that this fact makes q
considerable difference in the spirit OF
the party opposed TO us. Party spoils
constituted the cohesive power OF the
Republican party in this state under a
leadership of pure personal power that
amounted to tyranny.
However conservative the Republican
administration policy might be, it can
not be denied that the party holding The
Federal power has the means OF uniting
such elements as compose tho Republi-
can party in Virginia. We have there
fore urged the Virginia Democrats to
strengthen their position by a policythat
must be recognized as sound.
The pas, gives us a positive assurance
of the disasters that would result TO The
State under Republican rule. and unless
we make foolish mistakes the intelligent
voters Of the State will stand solidly TO
avoid the risks OF another Malone dy
nasty.
One great mistake 10 avoid is the put
ting Of the Democratic party on "a policy
Of mere arbitrary power.
We have explained az length and care
fully why It would seriously weaken The
party to discharge a few mechanics sim
ply because they are Republicans and
We hope that that plan will be- given up

AMONG the public institutions needed
in Richmond is a hospital on the plan Of
the Retreat for the Sick, but established
under the management Of the city au-
thorities, with the best and mos, sufi-
cient accommodations and medical al
tendance for all people who may be the
victims Of sickness or accident
The models Of such institutions are be-
foreus in other cities, and they repre-
sent the spirit Of advanced civilization
1t is well enough to have ar a%lmshouse-
but there is a certain sensitiyeness
about taking a citizen there when
he is not an object of charity in the gen
eral sense, but only temporarily %incapaci-
tated by accident or circumstances.
These institutions are so complete now
a-days that any well-to-do citizen, injured
or sick might prefer them to his own
home. for the simple reason that the
nurses. the medical attention and the
surgical appliances are always ready and
ALWAYS the best.

not specially noticeable beyond his
clothes and his stare. He ogled the
girl for s0rae time before she took note
of it, but when she did she made short
work of him. She rested her steady ewes
upon his person, but never permitted
their range 20 reach above the top of his
collar. and gave every appearance of a
lively and critical interest in him. In q
moment the young mau was daunted; In
two moro he was routed. An eX-
preston of pain clOuded his face, and he
scanned his %cXtremities with deep anXi-

The WINGED JAseeRwoK.

A WACO carrying a long box came
numbering over the Brooklyn bridge and
there was something about the box 70
distinct from other boxes that j bridge
policeman questioned the driver as to IT'S
contents.
The mans answers being unsatisiac-
tory, the guariiano of the peace proceeded
10 investigate on his own account. After
considerable cxertion the lid WAS re-
moved. and the policeman gave a yell Of
fright and nearly fcll oft the wagon.
The horse, looking around, probably saw
what the policeman saw, FOR It too gave
a snort OF terror and dashed down the
roadway.

of the box was opened. elevated Ms head,
gave a hiss or two, and, rising some four
feet from the box, seemed rather tocnJoy

By some happy accident his snascship
was jOlted back into the box and the hd
was secured. The driver meanwhile,
nearly paralyzed with fear, managed to

made of ash, beech, birch and maple.
The logs are cut into lengths of 81 inches.
these are sawed into blocks. the blocks
into sticks, and the sticks into shorter
ones. the length of the clothes pin, about
81 inches. These are fed into a lathe by
an endless belt. The lathe turns them
into shape and passes them along by a

them 1t drops them into a box OF barrel.
The pins are then dried in q drying
