what Additions To Our Navy Can

Nnr Mel Sun

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The troubles
in Samoa have led the navy depart
ment 10 look over its lists of
vessels under construction in
order TO see how many OF
of them can be made available during
the next few months. The chief value
these are To add is derived from their
guns and their speed. They are. be-
sides, built of steel, and have all the
best modern appliances bat the
trouble with our vessels now at Apia
or on the way thither consists much
less in their being built of wood than
in their e,rrying guns less power
ful than Icy ought to be. All the
German vessels there are unarmored,
and the two armored cruisers said TO
have started thither from home waters
viii la a long time ON the way. With
good guns the difference between steel
and wooden vessels, where both are
nnarmored would not worry our
sailors.
All the new cruisers and gunboats
carry the modern style of high. pow
cred, hreech.ioading steel rifles. They
are also coal protected, or, in other
words, have belt of coal around the
machinery To help keep out hostile
she,, when the hunkers are full. The
great reliance felt IN the Chicago. At

gency. Is that they not only have good
speed, hu; carry as good guns a. any

equally true of the new vessels We are

n.aih of DIR II. A. Woods.

We are panied to learn of the sudden
death at Pensacola. Fla. on the 18th, of
DR.. TURNER AsHBY WOODS, son of Mr..
Geo. M Woods, of Willow Spout. Augus~
ia county. He was taken suddenly i'll in
his office and fingered several days until
death. His sister, Miss Minnie, who was
IN Georgia, was telegraphed for and
reached his bedside in time to tenderly
minister to his wants and soothe his dying
moments.
DR.. Woods was in his 9th year and a
young man of muth promise in his pro-
fession. He had not been in Florida for
more than yea, having gone there from
West Virginia, where he had been practic-
ing medicine. lie had entered upon what
he and his friends believed would be sue
cassful career, as he had formed part
nership with prominent and popular ply
Acian in Pensacola. But ere he had fair
ly become acquainted with the people of
his adopted town his life was cut short by
the ineXorable hand of death.
We tender our unaffected sympathles to
his soreiy bereaved mother and father and
sister and brother. 1t was a severe dis
pensation, and as unexpected and sudden
as severe.

Quite number of our business men among
them the VIRGINIAN local. assembled at
the furniture factory Friday last, to wit
ness the first actual business of the fac
tory. which was the announcement of the
hours for work by the whistle from the
engine of the new works. Reese Wilkes
pulled the cord at exactly at y O'Clock,
when the deep-mouthed whistle announc-
ed that the Furniture Factory was a liv-
ing, moving existence. The sound of the
whistle was music to the ears of our peo-
pie, who feel deep interest in this our
first enterprise, in new industrial plants.
The work is progl essing nicely. The
machinery has all been located, betting.
shafting and gearing placed. and it only
remains after little more inside work to
connect the whole with the boiler-house
outside. when the whole machinery will
be put in motion. Lumber is coming in.
and large supply of stock work he's been
transferred from Ronceverte, upon which
work can be commenced at once. It's ex-
pected that work will begin July 8th.
To those who have not had the time or
opportunity to visit the factory. we would
say everything locks favorable. Mr.. Lup-
pert ard his son are always On the ground
and are giving their personal attention to
all the details. They know just what is
wanted, and are doing it light and well.

Last Saturday special dispatch was
sent out flom Lexington, Va, announcing
that Mrs. President Harrison and Mrs.
Secretary Blaine, accompanied by others,
wOuld reach Lexington Monday and re-
main over night at the Irvine House, on
Their way to the Natural Bridge. Sunday
and Monday this statement was enlarged
upon by The announcement that President
Harrison himself would be Of the party,
and would pass Staunton on the regular
train AZ G.I7 p. %. This was stated so
positively that he President OF the Stone
wall Brigade Band called the members to-
gether for the purpose of proceeding to
the depot ahd rendering a serenade. We
were satisfied there was nothing in either
statement that was sustained by fact.
Mrs. Harrison was at the time at Cape
May. The President had gone there on
Friday to remain till Monday, and on the
evening of Monday was expected at WASH
ington. But not so with many of our
citizens, a large number of whom met at
the depot to see the distinguished party.
OF course they were disappointed.
Another statement was that Russell Har>
rison and family were actually on the train
and stopped over at the Virginia Hotel
One gentleman, usually pretty correct and
not liable to sensational influences, told US
that he Travelled on the train from Har-
risonburg. and the Harrison party was
pointed out to him. He felt sure it was
the heir apparent or "crown prince"
the way this Democratic friend had of
stating it. because he had his hair parted
in the middle, and there were other indi-
cations that he was not mistaken. 1t
turned out that there was a Mr.. Harrison,
from Philadelphia, his wife, children and
coachman recorded on the Virginia Hotel
register, but not Russell Harrison, for he
was in New y ok, making preparations for
trip to Europe.
1t was I. sell all around, and especially

Hon. w. Il. Craig, Newly Appointed Dis
trict Attorney, Serenatied.

Monday night last, the Stonewall Brig
ade Band assembled in the yard at the re-
sidence of the Hon. w. E Craig, and ex.
tended him the courtesy of a serenade. in
honor of his recent appointment as Dis
trict Attorney for the Western District of
Virginia. After the Band had played
several enlivening airs. Mr.. Craig, 10
neat and appropriate speech. returned
thanks for the honor. He said all present
knew him to be Republican and an ear
nest worker for his party. He was
glad therefore to receive this honor
from his friends, irrespective of party
affiliations. Mr.. Craig said that as
an officer of the government he should
discharge his duties fearlessly. That his
service rs Collector had specially qualified
him for detecting frauds liz that direction.
He said that in our valley country the
cleo ions were fair. and the ballots honest
Iy coun. I'd. but in other parts of the Dis
trict where it is reputed that elections
are not fairly conduct ed, he should give
his special and diligent attention, and that
all persons irrespective of party. who
violated the election laws, should feel the
heavy hand of the law upon them.
Mr.. Craig is recognized as gentleman
of ability. in his profession and in politics,
and while he earnestly contends for the
success of his principles, he is alike pop
ular with all classes of our people, irresp,
tive of party. His appointment is almost
universally approved, and the action OF
the Band, of historic name and fame,
composed as it is of democrats, with one
exception. is an earnest of that good feel
ing which should at all times exist among
our people, whose interest are so unified
in every direction. In this spirit was the
honor extended by the Band. andlsi4 the
same spirit it was recognized and accf pit.
ed by Mr.. Craig and his political friends
present. We wish it God speed.

The work on this building is going on
rapidly, and is being done handsomely and
in first class style. When completed, the
building will be the haHds0mest IL The
city, and will present an appearance which
will be highly creditable and attractive,
and of which our citizens will feel Justly
proud. Those who have examined the
interior arrangements Of Association
buildings, pronounce the plans Of cur
building superior TO any they have ever
seen. A walk through it, even now, in
its unfinished condition, shows that every
convenience aud comfort Is well provided
for. 1t is impossible to conceive Of any
Improvement ever made in Stanton.
which will give more general advantages
TO our young men, than this ole. We
speak now outside of any religious in
fuences. Here will be home, where
young men can find everything that is
pleasant, refining and elevating, to occupy
all their time and attention, when not en-
gagged in business.
Manly and healthy exercises in the
selected library of over 1000 volumes: the
daily papers and periodicals; handsome,
well arranged and CONT ortable rooms, for
reading. writing, rectations, and inDo-
cent amnsements; large parlors for social
gatherings and conversation; bathrooms,
with sponge. shower, and plunge-baths;
kitchen, dining-room, and parlors where
the ladies may hold their social reunions:
all designed systemically for the purposes
indicated; will give real solid comfort to
+. our young men, and supply want long
and sorrily felt in our city. OF course it
takes money to do all this. The Cons
mittee in charge of the work haye been
dilgent and faithful, and everything has
been well done in a manner consistent
with economy, and the best interests of
the enterprise. The committee needs
$4,000 or $4,000 to complete the work, and
subscribed to the fund, should show their
appreciat ion of this good work by doing
80 at once. We hope there will be no
holding back nor delay in this matter. 1t
is a most important interest-oDe which
fathers and mothers cannot value too
highly. 1t is a labor of love, on the part
of those managing it, to promote the well
being of the young people of our city. Not
man makes cent out Of it. 1t is de-
votiOn TO the welfare and highest tenn
