SENATOR FOSTER, Of Louisiana, in a
ringing speech against the lottery, said:
II say, sir, that if Louisiana can not per
foi m the duties of state, if she can not
educate her children and support her
charitable institutions then let US tear
from her her sovereign rights as d state and
place her under control and protection Of
the federal government or some other gov
eminent save the government of the lot
terry company. "
KEMmER, the wife-murderer, who has
been so often respited TO save the alternat-
ing electrical current from use as the
means Of capital punishment, Is not libely
to have any interposition in his behalf,
since the decision of the New York court
Of appeals. The Westinghouse company
has not yet endeayored to get its dynmos
away from the state. It is noG regarded
= as certain that sentence will be executed
on Kemmer in the week beginning August
4th.
HAWAII conceded to the United States
under reciprocity treaty a free market for
products, as well as exclusive rights to the
use Of Pearl hdrbor, in return for the free
admission Of raw sugar and few unim-
portant articles from the Islands to the
United States It is now claimed by the
Hawaiian minister, at Washington, and
apparently with some reason, that the en-
actment by United States that p.~ 'ision
, of the Mckinley bill admitting all sugar
free and putting bounty on homegrown
sugar must lead to the abrogation Of the
treaty; for that would destroy the one con-
sideration of any value to the islands. 1t
is said that Senators Frye and Morgan Of
the senate committee on foreign relations
both agree to this conclusion. The trouble
is that we have by far the best end of the
bargain such harbor and other rights
through the treaty as have caused England
10 grumbe ever since
WHEN the officers of bank apply to
their own use money placed in their care
by depositors the punishment should be
swift aud sure. But such, it is to be re-
GREETED, is not always the case Arrests
are frequently made, but after months of
delay the culprits often escape in a way
highly gratifying to themselves. Some
time ago the Bank of America in Phila-
dephia closed its doors, and not till Satur-
day last was any definite action taken 10y
those who had lost their money. Then
the president and cashier were arrested,
charged with conspiring TO obtain 5l25,0 900
of the funds OF the bank 10y crediting tae
loan to an employe. Whether these men
are guilty, and, if so, whether they will be
duly punished, is a questian At any rate
the action is long delayed and something
is wrong If person is guilty of rob
hing the mails, making counterfeit money,
or in amy other way violating the laws of
the United States, his arrest is swift and
his punishment severe The government
does not tribe. So it should be with dis
honest bankers. If it were known that To
use bank funds meant certain imrisonmeut
for long term they would be fewer fail

DUCK TO THE RESCUE.
They Succeed in Raising Crate and r.
leasing Prisoner.

iN"oihE IiHohtEs
A young duck by some accident had his
leg broken and the wounded limb having
been put in splints the duck was placed
nndeI a small! crate or rallied coop 10 pre-
vent it, Cor a time, running about. The
poor prisoner looked very forlom in his
cage and was evidently an object Of pity
to his brothers and sisters around. They
tried to release their companion by forcing
their neck under the crate and so lift Il
but the effort was beyond their strength.
On ascertaining this they held a c0nsuIta-
ton and they marched away in a body.
Presently they reappeared with all the
ducks belong to the farm yard, amounting
to about forty.
After a great deal Of quaclling they sur.
rounded the crate aud every neck was in
serted under the lowest rail. They then
made a united effort to raise the crate, but
alas in vain. Their strength was not
sufficient. Another consultation was now
held, and after another storm of quackilg
the whole of them came to one side of tine
crate. AS many as possibly could now
thrust their nCcks beneath the rail the
rest, pushing them forward from behind
This time they succeeded The crate was
raised, their imprisoned friend was liber-
ated, ard noisy were the greetings she re.
ceived as she limped once more free, into
their midst
Wearing of W igs bs Russian Immigrants
A stranger walking through Hester and
Essex streets, New York. one morning
last week observed scores of women whose
hair was of jet black hue and lay straight
combed and brushed back from their fore
heads And each head was partly covered
10y a silk handkerchief that was knotted
beneath the chin and additionally secured
by a huge gold pin. OIhe faces Of She
women were yellow, and the eyes were
lustrously black, with heavy black eye
brows and ashes
Some of these women were middle aged
other were scarcely twenty, bat each wore
a heavy band of gold on the third finger
of her right ha d. They were Hebrews
from a distant part of Russia, close to the
bOundries of Poland 1t is one of the Gus
toms of this race for the married women
to wear wigs, no matter how beautiful OF
uXuriant their own hair may be. lheY
do this in accordance with an old custom
of their country, which teaches them that
a wife s CHAINS are for her husband alone,
and a woman S hair is considered to be one
Of her greatest charms. Unmarried
girls never wear wigs, but just as soon as
the words making her a wife are mr.,
nomced She dons her wig and never IT,
moves it except in the privacy Of her own
room.

Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va) 1886-1890, 1890-03-04

Roanoke City is located in the Iron
belt district of Virginia l 900 feet above
sea level, between the Blue Ridge range
on the East, and the Allegheny range
on the West. Roanoke has q history
that reads like a romance.
American enterprise has no brighter
gem in its diadem OF achievements
than busting and picturesque Roanoke.
The growth of Roanoke is upon solid
basis as evidenced by the thrift and
prosperity OF It's citizens. Roanoke is
a city Of $4,000 busy souls today, Feb
s.-s...si r. I, 1890, when only few years ago
she was small village of4oo people
who were tilling the land upon which
is now built magnificent structures,
classical and prepossessing in appear
ance. We will name some OF the prin-
cipal industries now in operation and
doing successful business: First, the
Roanoke Machine Works, that gives
employment TO 1900 experienced me-
chanics, and to these works will be add
ed additional improvements that will
give employment for 600 more men,
Next comes the American Bridge
Works that employ large number OF
skilled workmen and this industry Will
also add to their present larger plant,
ending it necessary, in order TO supply
the demand made upon them for work
in their line. Next comes the Roanoke

all of which is paid to the citizous Of
Roanoke.
Has an excellent fire department..
The Roanoke Carriage Company Is
erecting m extensive establishment
and have large field in which they
will operate, extending into North
Carolina and West Virginia.
Roanoke has two large flour mills,
the largest of which has elevators with
a capacity TO store $4,000 worth Of
grain.
So much for the different industries
already established and row doing a
fiourishing business. We will mention
some few industries that are in process
of organization:
The Steel Plant, Cottoa Mill, Hard
ware Forge, West End Yards, and
Stationary Agricultural Implement
Factory, Boot and Shoe factory, aud a
number of smaller enterprises, all
these together with the completion OF
the Roanoke aud Southern railroad
which is being pushed rapidly towards
our city and is now completed to Mar
tinsyille, the county seat CT Henry,
will add fifty per cent TO our presen'
population.
We will also mention some improve
ments that will be made here by the
Norfolk and Western railroad and their
associates Cub rosa). First. the main

Rolling Mill, that has been steadily At
work since their organization one year
ago. The incorporators Of this valuable
adjunct to our city find il absolutely
necessary to enlarge their plant and
have so ordered it. Then comes the
Crozier twin furnace with an output of
$50 tons of pig iron per day. The Roa-
nokc Lou company are building and
will soon 90 INTO blast with a heavy
l25 ton furnace. A large force OF
hands are employed at these last-men-
toned enterprises. Next in order is
the Norfolk and Western and Shenan-
doah VALLEY railroad repair shops;these
shops give employment to large num-
Der of workmen. This is the end of
the division Tor the Norfolk and West
ern and the terminus Of the Shenan-
doah, and the employees of both roads
are paid of here, making q total of $780,
600 per month paid out here from the
few enterprises mentioned. In aGdi-
ton to these industries is number Of
smaller enterprises, such as will be
found in the suhjoined list:

Notwithstanding the vast amount of
money spent in SO large a number
houses, today it is almost impossible to
find vacant house. AS field for in-
vestments you could not find better
place in the South or North. It has
