lcopYRcuT. 1911


Sad news for the Catholic world has
just leaked out from the archepiscopal
palace of Henry Edward Cardinal Man
ming at Westminster. 1t is to the effect
that the physicians of the aged prelate,
who is now past SO years, have ordered
him to give up work and that the car
dinal archbishop would, as conse.
quencc, ask the pope to appoint coad-
jutor to assist him in governing bis
great sec.
This news is significant. Cardinal
Manning is not the man to give uu
work or to share his responsibilities with
another unless compelled by necessity
to do so. If he has done so, and it is
not entirely certain that he has, it
means that Cardinal Manning feels as
sured that his end is near.
Up to very recently the cardinal has
been seen in London looking about us
usual. Indeed, the writer saw hRn in
one of the most squalid spots in London
only short time ago, pursuing his
work among the London poor. He was
clad in u simple clerical garb. His fig

To Rcorganize the Military Conpan

sf, 40 hcorSan1Ze the military Company.
Capt. Wilbur s. Pole, of Colonel Null
toms staff. of the Second Virginia regi-
ment, will preside at meeting to be
held in the Office of City Sergeant
Jake Frier, Wednesday, Decem Der 80,
at 7:3O p. M, for the purpose of reor-
ganizing the military company in Salem
which has recently disbanded.
There is plenty of excellent material
here for large company, but the trou-
bio is in getting suitable captain. All
the men are willing to do their best to
maintain strong company if they can
get the officer they want.
He is lawyer of fine soldierly ap-
pearance, graduate of the Virginia
Military Institute, man capable of
leading a company and of maintaining
sdiscipline, popular and respected by
all, and one who could do moro towards
keeping up good company here than
any man in Salem, and unless he will
accept the captaincy, which is doubtful.
1T is difficult to see how the company
. can we'll be organized. That is the pre-
vailing opinion of the young men, and
it is to be hoped for the good of the
cause that this gentleman will yield to
the wishes of the boys and take hold
with his characteristic energy.

SALEM. VA. Dec %.

e.
The contractor who has the job of
building the scaffold for Watkins was
busy yesterday taking measurements in
the Jail yard; the sheriff and common
wealth's attorney were also present.
The lumber has been purchased and
probably by tomorrow Watkins will
hear the hammer and saw shaping the
death machine.
When Mark Hawley, who was the
last man hanged here, heard the nails
being driven, ho told visitor that
every stroke Of the hammer seemed to
DO driving a nail in his heart.
Watkins was fairly quiet Monday,
though on Sunday he preached loudly
while people were passing to and from
church. Policeman Johnson had &C.
casion to visit the jail Monday after
noon to speak to prisoner, and when
Charles saw him, he yelled: "Yonder's
Aleck Johnson, he's one of those who
want me hung"
A gentleman told THE TIMES reporter
that last week an old colored woman,
said that she remembers Charles having
wife and boy before he went West, but
what became of them nobody ever knew,
as they disappeared.
On Saturday morning when tho sheriff
and another gentleman went to see
Charles, his breakfast was brought him
and he at once commenced a great
racket. vowing he did not want it. The
sheriff ordered it to be put outside his
cell and given to him if he called for it,
which he did Just as soon as tho sheriff
had left the prison.
The opinion is fast gaining ground
that Charles is shamming crazy, and
few people besides his counsel believe
that he is really insane.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS.
Practical Illustrations Being Prepared
for tho Chicago Expositlon.


for the Chicago Exposition.
The exhibit of the agricultural ex-
pertinent stations of the United States
promises TO be not one of the least in
teresting features of the Chicago expo
sition. One portion of the proposed ex-
hibit, which will be likely to attract
general attention, is an experiment sta
ton in operation, with its office. lab
oratories, etc, illustrating how the in
door work of a station is actually car
ried on. In another portion of the ex-
hibit each station will present, by
means of maps, diagrams, pictures, sets
of publications, etc, a full statement
of its location, equipment, lines of
work, etc, so that the visitor can, If he
desires, follow out in detail the history
and the work of any particular station.
The main feature, however, will be
topical exhibit of the work of the sta.
tions as whole. In this it is not pro-
posed to make full showing of the
work of any single station, but to make
unified exhibit showing the kind of
work done by the stations, the way in
which they do it, and some of the more
important results which they have
reached The preparation of the exhib-
it is in the hands of committee of the
Association of American Agricultural
colleges and experiment stations CO.
operating with the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Assistant
Secretary Willis, of the department,
has taken deep interest in the matter
and has promised substantial aid on the
part OF the department to the stations
in making the exhibit.
At meeting of the committee held
recently in Chicago the preparation of
the different departments of the exhibit
was assigned to the following gentle
men: VI Ar,

A simple hut Serviceable Device for Use

A neighborwho has largely combined
stock raising with farming, frequently
buying stock and feeding for market,
employs cheap and convenient meth.
cd of weighing small animals. At ore
corner of a small yard or pen into
which the animals may be driven an
inclined plane is constructed for the
purpose of loading them into wagons.
This inclined plane is not immediately
connected with the yard, a passage 4
feet wide and or feet long leading
up to it, as shown in the engraving
In this level part of the passage is
placed the framed box or N''cage."
shown at Fig. 1. Five feet long, so
feet wide and feet high is found TO be
a very satisfactory size for this cage, as
it will admit the largest hog or several
smaller animals. The construction of
this cage is well shown in the engrav-
ing. The frame is made of oak or
other good timber not less than 8
inches square. Three cross pieces be-
low support a solid floor Only two are
necessary above. These cross pieces,
above and below, are mortised into
the side frame ~ inch from the end,
so that a board nailed across the end
leaves an opening little more than an
inch wide, in which the sliding gate
may freely move up and down. Such
a gate is made at each end of the cage.
The upright bars of the gate are laid
in position and the cross bars fastened
