Why IS your taste apt to differ so
much from another in the choice OF a
tie7 Simply because there are so many
varieties of ties 10 choose from. The
designs cover almost every form that
human ingenuity can devise, the colors
include the exceedingly plain and the
exceedingly brilliant, and every shade
between the two, and there is an almost
equal diversity in the quality Of material.

AN OLD BIGAMIsT PARDoNED.
Another Convict Relieved of Imprison-
ment, but Must Pay the Fine.

Governor Mckinney yesterday granted a
pardon to Lewis Wesley Thornton, who
was convicted OF bigamy at tho May torn OF the
Pittsylvania County Court and sentenc dto three
years in the penitentary.
Thornton is an Old negro man who was repre-
sented 90 the Governor as being peaceful and
law-abdng. lie had been abandoned by his
wife and he was under the impression that sho
had left the county more than seven years be-
fore he married the second time. The first wife
had been leading an immoral life and he had no
intention Of violating the law, and believed he
had n right 70 marry. Tho application for par
don was endorsed by the Judge, Commonwealth's
Attorney, and the Jury. For these reasons the
pardon was granted.
RELIEVED or IMPRTs0SMENT.
The Governor also pardoned X. ID. Hudson,
who was convicted In Wythc county February
1901 of violating the State law relating TO the
sale OF liquor, and was sentenced 10 pay lne
with twelve months imprisonment In jail. For
good and sufficient reasons, and upon the recon-
mendation Of the Judge, jury, Commemorative
Attorney, and a number Of citizens, the Governor
relieved Hudson Of the imprisonment on condi-
tiOn tho fine Is paid.

PRINCIPAL SAFEGUARD. OF LIBERTY
that congress should not pass any law
abridsing the freedom of the press, is vlo-
lated by any law which takes away any OF
the ordinary methods otcirculating printed
matter.
There are two principal questions in this
case, and none more important have ever
been submitted to this tribunal. The hrst
is whether congress may, in virtue OF its au-
thority to make laws necessary and proper
in order to carry into execution the powers
expressly granted to it, pass law mani-
testify and avowedly for the sole purpose OF
suppressing business within state, which
that state has theright to authorize, and over
which congress has no direct control: The
second is whether law prohibiting the cir
culation OF certain written and printed mat
tier open to no objection save that 1t relates
to certain business not criminal in itself,
and permitted by the laws of some Of the
states, by the ordinary ana usual means OF
circulation provided by law TOR the public
generally, abridges the freedom OF circula..
ton, and, by consequence the freedom OF

A large oil-painting Of the battle was

ATERRIBLE MOMENT.
A Wond erful Exhibition of Nerve
Displayed by an Officer.

A Wonderfu Exhibition of Nerve
Displayed by an Officer.
It was in India. Dinner was just
finished in the messroom, and several
English officers were sitting about the
table. The bronzed faces had the set
but not unkindly look common among
military men. The conversation, at
best, had not been animated, and
just now there was a lull, as the night
was too hot for small talk. The
major of the regiment, a clean-cut
man of SIS, turned toward his next
neighbor at the table, a young subal-
tern, who was leaning back in his,
chair with his hands clasped behind
his head, staring through the cigar
smoke at the ceiling. The major was
slowly looking the man over, from his
handsome face down, when, with
sudden alertness, and in q quiet,
steady voice, he said: f..
"Don't move, please, Mr.. Carruthers,
| want to try an experiment withyou..
Don't move a muscle"
"All right, Major" replied the subal-
tern, without even turning his eyes,.
Hadn't the least idea of moving,
assure you. What's the game?'
By this time all the others, were
listening in a lazily expectant way.
"Doyou think, continued the Major,
and his voice trembled just q little,
"Do you think you can keep absolute
ly still for, say, two minutes-to save
your life?"
care you joking?"
"On the contrary move muscle
and you are a dead man. Can you
stand the strain?"
The subaltern barely whispered,
eyes," and his face paled slightly.
"Burke," said the Major, address
ing an officer across the table, "pour
some OF that milk into saucer, and
set it on the floor here Just back Of
me. Gently, man! Quiet!
Not a word was spoken as the Of
ficer quietly filled the saucer, walked
with it carefully around the table,
and set it down where the Major had
indicated on the floor.
Like a marble statue sat the young
subaltern in his white linen clothes,
while a cobra di capele, which had
been crawlingup the leg of his trousers,
slowly raised its head, then turned,
descended to the floor, and glided to-
wards the milk.
Suddenly the silence was broken by
the report OF the Majors revolver,
and the snake lay dead on the floor.
"Thank you Major" said the sub
| altern, as the two men shook hands
warmly. "You have saved my life.'
"You're welcome, my boy" replied
the senior. "But you did yonr share"

THE PRIMA DONNA.

With reference to Ida, little Mrs.
Stocker would say, "Not but what

more exercise, but her mother won't
let her cross the street alone; sets her
face against her going out, even with

It's nonsense, between you and me,
you know. The girls got to make her
way in the world, and the sooner she
finds out what it's made Of, the better
for her."
This was the good woman's logic,
which she was apt to urge with ex-
IRENE earnestness, though, IL her own
case, hardly proved, since she had GER
tainly used her opportunities Of MAX
ing acquaintance with the world to
select one OF it's least favorable speci-
mems with whom to unite herself. But,
as she was wont to say, "there was no
knowing what Bill might have been,

Still, she adhered most conscien-
tiously to the wishes Of Mrs. Frank
len, however much differing from them,
and performed in person all those
errands which she would else have dele
gated to her young assistant in pure
desire to benefit her by exercise and
fresh air.
