MIR DUNLAP'S PLAN.

The article printed elsewhere con-
corning Engineer Dunlap's city sewer
age plan deserves careful study Of citi-
zens and of the Council. From the first
report of Mr.. He-ings plan tho public
has been strongly of the opinion that
his proposition was, while Theoretically
perfect, grossly extravagant for city
the size of Roanoke. His interceptor
alone would cat tremendous hole in
the amount appropriated for the sewer-
age system in Roanoke and still by no
means be perfect interceptor.
Engineer Dunlap's plan seems to
solve the problem in much sim plcr,
more direct and more economical way.
TO carry it into effect VIII spread the
work over several years with con-
slant improvement from tho time tho
plan was put in operation.
Itccrtainly seems desirable for tho
sewer committee and Councils to caro-
fully study if it would not be bettor, be-
fore work is begun on the intcrceptor to
adopt Mr.. Dunlap's plan in place of it..
To one who is not an expert engineer,
City Engineer Dunlap's plan certainly
seems the more economical and the
more efficient.

Pilgrimages to Supply the Vatican Treas
ury.
ROME, Sept. 1S.-Thc Pope's health is
said to be better than for a long time.
Nevertheless, his physicians insist
more vigor1u than ever that he 90 :
serve their hygicnic prescriptions, in
order that he may be strong enough to
receive the various pilgrimagcs now
being organized. l. is the intention of
the Pope to receive each one of these in
special audience, and with appropriate
addresses. The preliminary arrange
mcnts are being made for several bcati-
fications during the pilgrimagcs, begin

Several Of the prominent officials at
the Vatican have asked to be relieved
Of Office. Among these arc Cardinal
Rampolla. secretary of state, and
Monsignor Moccnni, assistant secretary
of state. The latter is said to be dis
pleased because he has not been made a
cardinal, and because others younger
in years and official life have been pre-
ferred for high Diplomatic points

which arc expected to restore the finan-

The Pope has expressed desire to
the Cortosa Monks that there be
founded at Rome grand Cortosa, where
all the novices of the order may receive
instruction. The consent of the gen
eral house at Gre noble is expected.
Tho offer of the Pope, however, has
awakened the jealousy of the Benedict
ines, who complain that the Pope no
longer thinks of constructing the grand
college which he has promised to build
for them at Mount Aventine.

FAST FLYERS.

The New York Railroad Company has
placed fast passenger train on its road
between New York and Buffalo This
train has already covered the distance
AL miles, in 446 minutes.
This speed, a few years ago would
have been regarded as phenomenal, but
now it is something which may be OIL
tanned on any of the leading railroads
through level country under favorable
conditions. The mile-a minute schedule
is fast approaching on the great trunk
railways Of America. In railway speed
England. which for many years has
held supremacy, must now give way to

THE PROSPEROUS FARMER.

Ono of the most telling strokes ever
delivered against Farmers Alliance
demagogy, fell upon the movement in
Ohio in an address in that State by Con-
grcssman Robert Il. Doan, Of Clinton
county. Said he:
Thrty-ninc out OF every forty lawyers, sixty
one out OF every sixty-two bankers, nincty-two
out OF every nincty-thrcc merchants, cighty-scvcn
out OF every lightweight manufacturers and
capitalists, and nincty-ninc out OF every one
hundred in NIL other professors and trades die in
10 ont OF every $50 farmers die surrounded with
wealth, comfort and plenty.
This puts it strongly. Tho proper
tions may not be as large as stated, but
they range in the vicinity.
What more convincing argument can
be used against the cry Of demagogues
that tho farmers arc opposed? AS
rule, the farmer is his own worst enemy
He is too content to investigate i'm
proved methods of agriculture. The
way in which he has been brought up
satisfies him.
A postal card addressed to tho State
commissioner of agriculture or to tho
Agricultural Department at Washing

which means dollars in his pocket. Yet
it is safe to say that not one farmer in

Cold as clay when the soul hasdied:
Oh pray pray for the deadl
Oh! pray, pray for the dead!
Every second death is calling,
Dear ones fall like the autumn leaves;
Where's the grove that haslost no garlandf
Where's the home where no mourner grievest
Grieves for those who, perhaps in anguish.
Barred from glory arc doomed TO roam,
voiceless, helpless. Oh, you loved them!
Beg our Father TO call them home,
Home from suffering, darkness. dread;
OH pray, pray for the dead!

Pray for those whom the yawning pillows
Swallowed down In their fearful wrath,
Those who. scorched by the breath of fever
Fell like grass in the mowers path;
Those who dropped by the way unnoticed,
Those who died in the battles din;
All are loved by our Lord and holy,
All must suffer who stoop to sin;
Plead for rest for each weary head,
Oh! pray, pray for the dead
Oh. pray, pray for the dead!
Buried friends, can we Ger forget you.
You who felt for our veal or woe;
God be with YOU our silent sleepers,
Lying under the turf so low!
Useless, vain is our weak bewailing,
Vain are murmur and sob and tear;
