TIE EsTEEMED Roanoke Yimes Is unduly
excited about TnE Carries article last
Wednesday on boom towns. ii our
greatly respected contemporary had read
the article in question with the care AMI
the judgment which it displayed in its
reply il would not have wasted itself in
dcmolishing supposititious proposition.
So far from assailing Virginia develop
mcnts, Tnr CmTic was speaking in the
interest Of all legitimate Virginia enter
prises by calling attention to the various
cities in .buckram which have no exist
ence save in the heated eloquence of their
promoters. The Times must confess that
there are several of these, and that wild
speculation in such directions does harm
10 real towns like Roanoke and Freder-
icksburg. As for the suburbs of WASH
ington, nobody pretends that they possess
or can possess any virtue save as resi-.
dences for the constantly growing popula.
tion Of this city. There was no thought
al comparing them with the manufactur-
ing and comm. cial towns Of Virginia rs
places Of business for cnterprising men.
The CnrTIc is proud of such cities as Ro-
anoke, Salem, fredericksburg and score
of Others which enjoy an actual existence
and can offer something substantial to
people coming there to live and work
Our idea was simply to comment on the
innumcrable bubbles that have no visible
destiny save that of bursting and injuring
some one. Finally, we beg to congratu-
late the Roanoke Times on the evidences
pf progress and prosperity it exhibits and
torenew the assurances of our regard and
consideration.

But we were wed when skies were hluo
And summer days were long;
And when we rested by the hedge
The robbins came and told
How they had dared to WOO aud win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dowberrles,
Or slept among the hay
But Oft the farmers wives at eYo
Game out 10 hear MS play
The rare old tnnes-the dear old tunes =
We could not starye FOR long
While my man had his violin
And my sweet love song.
Tho world has eye gone well with us,

Our homeless wandering down the lanes
IL long ago was done.
But those who wait for gold or gear
For houses and for kline,
Tin youths sweet spring grows brown and

And love and beauty tine,-

That met without q fear
When you had but your violin
And song, my dear.

DISTANT NEWSPAPERS are beginning to
discuss certain aspects of Henry NJ. STAN
IEY's visit to Washington, notably the re-
ccption extended to him in society circles.
In a recent issue OF the Atlanta JOpWd,
for instance, We see statement by its
Washington correspondent to the effect
that the Srtyrrys had great fu,s made
over them by "thc people of Washing
ton but that "the Southern contingent
at the capital did not join in tic enter
tainments that were given to the explorer
and his English bride" The correspond
,nt then proceeds to account for this by
stating that STANLEY was dcserter from
the Confederate army during the war.
This latter assertion may he true or il
may not, but 1t has no bearing on the case
in point, because It is not Fact that
Washington people" smothered STANLEY
with attentions, and therefore the
Southern contingent did not occupy pc
cuiar attitude toward him. The STAN
LEYs were entertained very little here.
Outside of the British Legation they may
he said to have passed unnOticed. One or
two dinners were given them, and there
was some rather lukcwarm gush one day
in the correspondents gallery, but that
was about all. Nothing could be more
absurd than to say that STANLEY was re-
ceived with enthusiasm here If, rs stated,
he deserted the Confederate service and
went over to the Union cause, it is clear
that the survivors of the latter were not
saturated with gratitude any more than
the survivors of the former were suifused
with admiration. He received no more
attention in one quarter than in the other.
We do not wonder that the circumstances
of the case have provoked comment. Dis
tinguished visitors to the city are usually
accorded very marked and conspicuous
receptions. STANLEY was certainly made
an exception to this rule. We have no
speculations to indulge as to the cause.
We content ourselves with the simple
statement of notorious fact.

Miss AGNEs HuNrINGToN, who comes
before the Washington public tonight
with an opera now to this audience, il
quite well known here already. She has
visited Washington before, both in her
Professional and her personal capacities,
and in both has made friends and al-
mirors. She is an American girl who
Goes honor to her country and her sex, no
less charming and cultivated lady than
he is an accomplished and conscientious
artist. She has been entertained in some
of the best Washington houses and enjoys
the respect and esteem of all who have
met her socially THE Carrie knows
nothing of the opera in which Miss Hunt
INGroS appears tonight save that it is the
work of Plamuette, the author of Les
Clochos dc Corncyillc," (Chimcs of Nor
mandy, one of the most tuneful of the
lighter lyrical productions Of the day. We
know, however, that Miss HUNTINGTON
possesses one of the most delightful mef=o
voices that has been heard in Washing
ton, and that she Is, beside singularly
excellent singer and actress. THE Critic
can wish for Miss IIuNTINGToN and for her
audiences nothing better than that the
music and the supporting company may
come up to the standard of her own
merits.

fishing the Hartford Door, Sash and Blind

at Big Rapids in Michigan, which has
the bulk of the western work; A. L.
Peck & Co. of Waterbury, which was
the initial concern in the series, and
which is to-day the headquarters of the
great circle; Andrews & Peck of this
city, and Andrew, Peck & Co. of Hol-
yoke. The Big Rapids business is one
of the most important of its kind in the
West. The new company will make
special work for the eastern trade, par
ticular attention being paid to work in
hard wood. Mr. Peck started in business
at Waterbury, but formerly was d resi-
dent of Hartford. A few years ago, he
