Look at Your Nose.

A somewhat singular fact has been
observed with reference to the shape Of
the Iosi., or rather the setting of it in
the face, SO to speak. To be strictly
correct, from the artists point of view,
the nose should be exactly in the mid
die of the face, and alright angles with
a line from the pupil of one eye to that
of the other. As a matter of fact, it is
rarely or never found thus placed; it
is almost invariably little out of 1.-The
square" and the fact of it being so is
often that which lends peculiar ex-
preston and piquancy to the face. A
medical writer points out that there
are anatomical reasons why a slight
deviation from the true central line
may be expected. and that the nose
which is found to be centrally To-
catedp and accurately straight between
the two eyes may, after all, be consid-
cred an abnormal one; the only abso-
lutely true and correct organ being, in
fact, that which deviates a little either
to the right or left.

THE AIR.BRAKE DID IT.
All engineers Heroism and MOdesty in
Disclaiming Credit Therefor.


We went winding up the mountains,
says a writer in the Philadelphia Item,
our massive engine drawing us up the
curying grades without an apparent
effort. We had crossed an iron bridge
and made curve, at the end of which
another was in sight, winding to the
left, and from the track cottage home
stood in the shadow of the hills. Look
ing past it to point just beyond, which
was visible from my side of the engine,
saw and excitedly exclaimed: "a
child on the track!n
At the exclamation John sprang from
his seat. One glance down the track
and his, face became pallid. A child. 8
years old perhaps stood midway be-
tween the rails and not 100 yards from
the engine. looked from John to the
child. 1t stood facing us, clapping it's
little hands as it was wont to do from
its mothers arms, perhaps, at the pass
ing Of the cars. In another instant /
was thrown forward, almost pitching
through the glass window in front. At
the same moment heard scream, a
woman's voice, and with arms aloft and
face paralyZed with terror tho mother
stood upon the steps of her cottage.
We were nearer the child-it was not
twenty yards from the engine, which,
under the pressure of the air-brake,
was humping and jolting furiously.
looked for John; his seat was va
cant; again ahead; the pilot was within
twenty feet OF the child, the train still
in motion, too rapidly to be checked
before reaching it! [ shut my eyes:
my heart stood still. Again the moth

my eyes to see the child tossed several
feet in the air. Ny head swan as |
averted my eyes, and fancied / heard
the crushing of the little form by the
now slowly revolving wheels. when in
husky tones heard a mans voice ut

opened my eyes, aud standing upon
the pilot was John Akers, holding in
his arms the child, its face wreathed in
smiles. The engine was now at stand
still. From the cottage the father came
with a blanched face Ind trembling
steps. The child, in merry accents,
called out: want to ride, papa?' He
took his baby from John Akers' ex-
tended hands, and, folding her in his
arms, sank down on the earth beside
the track.
John clambered back to his perch
and sounded the whistle. The passen-
gers looked out of the windows, won
dering what had occurred. A trem-
bling hand drew the lever, which start
ed the engine, putting and Kissing until
it was going at full speed again. L
looked toward John-his blue eyes were
on the track ahead, but they were dim
med. Tears were on his cheek, as he,
perhaps, thought of what would have
been his feelings if his own little girl
had been the one on the track. Not
word did either of us speak until at
Christianburg, on the top Of the Allie

w. c. T. u COLUMN

Extracts from some of the ad
dresses made during the convention
of the w. C. T. u in Chicago last
November:
So, dear friends, | undertake to
say that there is no savage tribe that
roams your western plains that would
intelligently and deliberately set
loose on their defenseless squaws
and children such an oppressor as
the m-shop is to-day to your
women and children. And that is
oppression. Applause. Then
when you men here in Chicago, here
in Illinois. when you will not or dare
not lay your hand on this oppressor
of womanEood and childhood in this
country, you stand deliberately and
mock at our protest, and sheer at our
efforts, and call US fanatics, and
hedge up our way il the churches
we help to build, and the churches
that we run. And you paddock the
preachers, and you sit down in the
official places, and you decide what
we shall dc and what we shall not do,
when you wouldn't have enough of a
church left inside of one year to
bless yourselves with, or be buried

A Scranton man who has raised
pigeons for many years tells this story:
The wife of his finest male pigeon flew
home one day badly wounded. She
had been shot, and she died within a few
hours. For three days and nights her
mate walked back and forth on top of
the pigeon-house. mourning constant
" for his dead wife, and giving vent to
dismal sounds all the time. Two
female pigeons that had no mates tried
to win his favor while he was mourn
ing. They alighted in his pathway
every little while, but all the notice
they got from the grief-stricken hus-
band was thump that sent them kit
inc from the roof. Then the females
fought one another, and, when they
had fought enough, they undertook to
win the males love again. So it went
until the fourth day, when the wifeless
flutterer chose one of the festive
females for his mate. The unfavOred
one then went off and moped a spell,
but she got over the effects of disap-
pointed love.
The same observer says that the only
bigamist he has ever seen among
pigeons is male now owned by him.
During the breeding season the
bigamist maintained two separate wives
and households, devoting just about as
much attention to one as to the other.
He helped raise the broods of each
female, and his affection for each was
equal. The double duty kept him very
busy, but he seemed to take pride in
having so much responsibility.

ter giving the name and date of a
child's birth, she writes: where the
child's fingers and toes ought to have
been there were rattlesnake's heads,
and there was small snake grown
from the top of its head and hung
down on it's face. The head of the
snake was the child's nose, and when

face would raise up, run out its tongue,
and hiss. The baby only lived five
hours, but the snake part lived five
hours longer. ''-Portta7ad, O7'egoai0n.

PRIMARY OR NOT?
THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
MET LAST NIGHT.
THE DRIFT OF FUBLI; OPINION.
No Quorum Present. The Meeting
Adjourna Until Monday. Judge wiz
Hams Speaks Out. The Members
Rather Anxious.

Chairman II. c. Thomas, of tn.
city Democratic Executive Commit
tee, during the week issued call 70
a meeting of that body, last night, il
the office Of Commemorative Attor
ney Roy b. Smith, for the purpose O
discussing the question of nominal
ing candidates for city Offices. Only
five members Of the committee, in
Guiding The chairman, were present
and rs it requires six to make
IL quorum, nothing was done. The
! time selected for the meeting oil
the committee was O'Clock, but after
waiting till 9o'clock and only the
number mentioned putting in an APP
pcurance, il wds decided to adjourn
Till next Monday evening, ut $ O'Clock,
when it is expected the full commit
tee will be present and reach some
conclusion.
The following members were pres
ent last night 81. g. Thomas, chair
man Judge 5. q Williams. Roy Is.
Smith, 4. Il. DulTey and Il, T.. Scott.
Most of them were nOn-cummittal on
the question OF whether or not to
hold primary, but Judge Williams
was Outspoken in his opposition to
party nominations for the approach
ing city elections. He said where
there was danger OF negro supremacy,
rs in Lynchburg, Petersburg, Rich
mond and other places in the State,
he was in favor OF a solid fight on the
part of the Democracy, but no such
danger existed in this city. A large
number OF Northern men had united
their fortunes with our own and were
working side by side with us for the
material prosperity of the city. Some
OF them were partners IN business
with Southern men, and many voted
the Democratic ticket in State and
the Republican ticket in national
elections. Last fall they had joined
hands with the Democrats in their
efforts to defeat Malone, and as it
was more important TO elect good men
to Office in this city than anything
else, he was in favor of making the
race open to the right class, and
GLOW the people to take their choice.
Whether views like the above will
prevail when the committee meets at
Dir. Smiths Office next Monday night,
only irst-cass political prophet can
fortell.
Last election there was q fear
said one OF the committee, that
there was also movement to make
the citizens nominees the entering
wedge in an effort to republicanize
the city Now Democrats feel strong
enough TO give their opponents Il few
crumbs from the municipal table and
yet have the whole repast Oh State
and national occasions to them
selves"
The republicans have not thus far
had much to say on the subject. Be
ing in the minority they can afford
TO wait the action of the majority, I
being as is the case always with the
weaker party, whether republican or
democrat, ready to unite on any can
didate who comes nearest to support /
ing their views or gives the most prom !
Use of success.

an INTERESTING LAND CASE
4 rgued Before Judge Blair at Salem
OH Thursday.

a very interesting case was argued
in the Roanoke County circuit
court at Salem last Thursday. by
Mess RS. Penn & Cooke for the plain
tiff, and Messrs. Scott & Dupuy for
the defendant. The case was that of
j. X. Pitzer VS.. Bolivar s. Webb, a
suit to regain possession of a tract OF
land between this city and Salem. 1t
seems Pitzer sold the land to Webb
for $11,500, and a suit was instituted
by Webb at Pliers request, to clear
the title, the latter keeping back the
purchase money till decision was
reached.
In the meamtimeWebb sold the land
for $4,000, and now Pitzer asks the
circuit court to rescind the contract,
and give him back his farm, on the
ground that Webb purposely delayed
the suit so as to use the money for
speculation. Judge Blair took the
case under advisement, and will
probably render decision in a few
DAYS.

OUR ISSUE.
wna. Some Prominent Citizens OF
Roanoke Think oft.


City Treasurer NJ. C. Thomas
thought the industrial issue of the
TIMES IL very creditable exhibition of
the enterprise of its managers, and a
comprehensive statement of the rapid
growth of Roanoke as we'll rs the
energy and progressiveness of her
people.
Mir. j. T. Smoot, ex-secretary of the
Board OF Trade, was very much
pleased with the industrial is
sue of the TINES. 1t was
not only Il llattering evidence of the
energy and enterprise OF its owners,
but was IL complete epitome Of the
growth and progress of the city. As
copies would go to all sections of the
United States and even to European
countries t could not fail to spread
abroad the advantages OF this city
and section and would result in add
ing substantially to the wealth
and population of Roanoke and
Southwest Virginia. An issue like
that was worth q hundred daily pa.
pers which, while giving record OF
current events are too disjointed to be
of value to persons in other localities.
The TINES has done some good work
for Roanoke.
DIR. C. S. Cooper read the industrial
issue of the TIMES with much inter,
est. 4 paper like that could not fall
to do great good to the city, giving as
it did history of Roanoke's wonder
full growth and progress.
Mr.. H. NJ, Darnall, of Roanoke Trust
Loan and Safe Deposit Company,
thought the industrial issue a fine
paper very creditable to the publish
ers and ali engaged in getting it up. i.
Mr.. is. Pattie said the big issue OF
the TIMES was splendid paper and
its circulation abroad was calculated
to do much good in calling the atten-
ton of capitalists and investors to this
section. People who read that paper
carefully could not fail to obtain a very
correct idea of Roanoke's past history
and future prospects.
Hon. John W. Woods said it was
the best thing of the kind ever got up
in this city and showed much sys-
tematic labor and research. 1t met
long felt want and could not fail to
be of benefit to the city and pub
fishers. :,
Justice S. w. Howerton thought il
was a splendid exhibition of enter
prise on the part of the publishers ano

THE CADDALL OBsEQUIEs.
The Murdered Treasurer Of Pulaski
Buried In thc Presence Of Hundreds

The remains of Mr.. j. II. CaddalI,
county treasurer and president of the
National Bank of Pulaski, who was
murdered few days ago, were buried
on Thursday last in the presence of
nearly thousand persons. The Free
Masons took charge OF the body and
the procession is said to have been
the largest ever seen in the county.
Every part of Pulaski county was re
presented and many from adjoining
counties attended the funeral.
The ceremonies were conducted by
Major j. II. Darst and were solemn
and impressive. The murdered man
was greatly beloved; he was man of
thestrctest integrity and II most eff
flcent and conscientious officer. The
deepest sympathy is felt for his be-
reaved family and the direst venge-
ance threatened against the prepetra-
tors Of the brutal murder should they
be apprchendcd.

4 Blast Near Allegheny Institute
Makes an Opening TO Cave.

Mr.. Banks, overseer of the city
street force, while blasting rock on
Eighth street, near the new Ale
ghany Institute yesterday morning,
came across a cave forty-five feet deep.
Several parties were attracted to the
place, and examined the opening in
the ground as well as the debries of
the blast would admit, and 1T seems
to be the general opinion, if the
proper explorations are made, quite a
cavern will be discovered there. With
Crystal Spring to furniih water, a
hotel on Mill Mountain as a summer
resort, and extensive caverns in the
vicinityof the city, Roanoke, when all
it's other attractions are considered,
would soon become the most popular
place for tourists and travellers, as
as we'll as for business men. to be
found in the country.
