A COLLEGE girl, and a Wellesley col
lege girl at that, ought to have known
better than to accept a strange womans
invitation to go home with her and stay
all night, but that was what "a girl from
this famous school did not long since
when her train was delayed by an acct
dent. The woman took her to an in
famous den, and it was only by great
good fortune that she managed to make
her escape, with a lesson that will last
her her life. But she ought to have
been taught that lesson before, either at
home or at the college.

L. F. LIVINGSTON, president of the
Georgia Farmers alliance, visited To-
peka, Kan, lately, and initiated the
Kensas farmers into the Georgia ALL
ance methods. But he has views on the
Union soldier pension business as fol-
lows: Il must take stronger ground
against the infamous pension swindle,
for saw lots of lazy, healthy bummers,
able bodied, who should be at work on
the farms, and would, were it not that
they are supplied in idleness by pen
sion. They are no better than our eX-
confederates, who are compelled to earn
their living by manual labor, and are
thereto re, a much more self-respecting
lot of fellows. Had our southern ALI
ance the power we would abrOgate all
pensions. The war was over more than
twenty five years ago, and our southern
people won't stand that ewindle any
longer"

SHENANDOAH.

SHENANDOAH. Va, April o9.-[Spe-
cial IA letter from Mr.. f. j. Kimball,
president of the Norfolk and Western
railroad, gives assurance that the ex-
tensive improveme nts that have been
promised to Shenandoah will be begun
at once and will be prosecuted with all
possible dispatch.
These improvements consist of build
ing new shops of greatly enlarged ca
pacity and of erecting a handsome new
passenger station.
The latter will be built of rough cut
stone and will cost $685. 900. The build
ing will stand on the east side of the
railroad at the foot of the knoll upon
which the Hotel Shenandoah is to be
rebuilt.
Messrs. Howell & English, of this
place, began work Monday morning on
the survey Of the proposed railroad from
Harrisonburg to Shenandoah.
The Shenandoah Land and Improve
ment Company, at a recent meeting, de-
cided to re- build their handsome hotel
at once, and they are now soliciting bids
on the erection Of same.
The hotel will be rebuilt on the orig
inal foundations and with the exception
OF q lew unlmportant changes, the orig
inal plans and specifications will be adj
hered to.
The furniture factory is completed
and would soon be in operation but for
delay in the building of 60 horse
power engine. The other machinery is
all in the building and the company
hope to have their factory in running
order by May 18th at latest.
Mr.. VIM. Tomkin has just finished
buying an entire new stock of furnish
ing goods and notions and will soon
open Zip store on First street.
BY May 18th Shenandoah will have a
circulating library. This is an institu
ton that would be credit to any new
town We will start with circulation
of 230 volumes, embracing histories,
works on art, science and high order
of fiction.

A SMALL-FOOIED SINGING GIRL.
My wife has paid especial attention to this
subject and she has given me the following ac-
count of the barbarous custom. TT is said to
have originated in the tenth century. when
Prince Ii Yu commanded his favorite but in
ferior wife, Yao Mang, to bind her feet with
silk bandages into shape that would resemble
the new moon. 1t then became the fashion and
1t has been practiced for centuries with no
modification.
Tho bandaging is usually begun when the
girl Is about SIX years OF age, with bandages of
white cloth about three inches wide and two or
three yards long. The foot is bent downward
and four OF the toes are bent under the sole.
leaving only the great toe extended. The heel
is bent down and forward. Then the foot is
tightly bandaged. The bandages are always
worn and daily tightened. Sometimes a toe
becomes atrophied or a bone is removed to
make the foot very small AT about the age of
fifteen the bones stop growing and the pain is
no longer felt, but some girls are even then
unable to walk and require to be carried
about"
During the early years the pain of this opera
ton is excruciating. One would think the lit
tie girls would go crazy over it. Every morn
ing when the bandages are frightened they
scream most pitifully and yet for fashion q
sake they must suffer even greater torment and
discomfort than our own deformed, small
wasted and short-breathed devotees to q false
and artificial ideal of feminine beauty.
The singing girl here depicted with a small foot
must pass very miserable existence. She is
unable to stand many minutes without pain.
1t will be seen from the pose that her weight
rests upon the heel. She is a professional
painted beauty, whose sole object in life is to
get as much pleasure out of it as possible, but
she is handicapped, and is not likely to go CAD
ding about much.

A BALLOON ON A SKIRMISH.
Will Be Started on Transatlantic Voyage
Before July Fourth.

Will Be Started on q Transatlantic Voyage
Before July Fourth.
To cross the Atlantic is the enterprising mis-
sion upon which balloon will start from Ger
mantown within the next week or two, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The balloon will not carry any passengers,
but it is intended to pilot the way for mon
ster air ship that will carry at least two voy-
ayers. The inventor of this new air ship is
Charles P. Fest Of 1855 Lena street, German
town, Pa.
The experimental machine that will be
started across the Atlantic is completed and is
an exact model of the larger one that is expected
later to carry over the inventor. The hot gas
that will initiate the bag will be generated from
gasoline. which Is chosen on account of its
enormous volatile proper tons and great lift
ing power.
In the completed machine the gasoline will
be carried in a rectangular tin can holding ex-
actly ten gallons. A small tube runs from the
can to an upright brass pipe about three inches
In diameter and about six feet long. This pipe
Is lined within and without with asbestos. It
passes up into the gas bag, while the tin recep-
tacle remains below. The gasoline is ignited
at the tube that passes into the pipe near the
bottom and the flame shoots up the pipe to the
top, where it is arrested by a cap.
TO EUROPE IN THIRTY HOURS
The bag is made of a preparation Of paper
and is rugged 30 that it cannot sway and come
in contact with the flame. This flame will be
constant. and experiments show that the ten
gallons will last just forty hours or ten hours
longer, according to Mr.. TESTS calculations
than will be necessary to carry the air ship
across the Atlantic. Mr.. Fest believes that the
balloon will make the passage in thirty hours.
Mr.. Fest declares that it has been clearly
proven that there is a constant air current to
the east that will watt his air ship across the
ocean in forty hours at the outside. and the
only problem that has prevented aeronauts
from crossing the ocean before has been that of
keeping balloon up sufficiently long to make
the voyage. The existence Of these currents
was shown by Prof. Wise when he made his trip
from st. Louis to New York, and he then de-
clared that he could cross the ocean if he could
only keep his air ship afoat.
The date for sending the balloon on its trans
Atlantic trip has not yet been fixed, but will be
decided on shortly. It will probably be before
July 4.

IF EDWARD BRADDOCK, GENERALS
Il simo of his British majesty's forces in
America. were to revisit this earthly stage
and observe that the lonely spot which
he disembarked in 1875 to begin his ILL
starred expedition against Fort Duquesne
is now the geographical center of the
American capital, bearing the name of his
once humble aid-de-camp, George Washing
ton. he would doubtless exclaim, he ex-
claimed regarding his surprising defeat near
Pittsburg, VINO would have thought it,
Probably nobody would, for the coincidence
Is too extraordinary; but such is the irony Of
Braddock first set foot IL practically the KEY to
the city of Washington, almost equidistant
from either end of il. and affording to in
vading force the readiest approach by water.
NO CITY OF WASHINGTON THEN.
At that time, at the opening Of the French
and Indian war, and for half century after
ward, there was no city of Washington. The
country hereabouts was a comparative wilder
ness. George Washington was but STRIPPING
colonel in the Virginia militia No one dreamed
of independence OF the British crown. and all
the English colonies were bracing themselves
TO resist the encrOacEmeuts of the French.
Alexandria, then a colonial village eight miles
down the Virginia side of the Potomac, was the
recruiting point of BradioCks army. Thither
his little feet OF two war ships and half dozen
transports, under Commodore keppel, had pro-
eeeded from Hampton with two regiments of
500 men each, to be augmented later by
400 Virginia troops BraddOck himself with
his own personal retiRue got separated from
the remainder of his party and landed on this
side of the river opposite Analostan Island. at

The small-footed women Of China are popu-

But in IA country where scholarship alone opens
the way to the highest Offices of state, where
the humblest peasant from the remotest FROM
tier may by Industrious study win official rank
and an power and compete on equal terms with
classes can there be except those of wealth and
learning? The small-footed women belong to
families. be they rich or poor, who can bring
up their daughters without requiring them to
perform manual labor. They are not, there
fore. found among the farmers and laboring
classes, but belong to all other ranks and con-
ditions. In North China they are frequently
met In cities and towns and the traveller will
often encounter them hobblng slowly, YEARLY

Separating the Races Id Virginia.

The Powhatan Club has stirred the people of
Richmond, Va, in declaring in favor Of separate
street cars for white and colored people and
providing for the appointment of committee
to try and bring about this reform. This
movement of the club has revived the agitation
OF the question of different railroad coaches
for whites and blacks, which has been SO very
seriously discussed for several years. Gov.
Mckinney believes that the two races should be
separated on railroads, and that provision
should be made by the company to carry ont
this object. II shall" said the governor yes
terday afternoon, recommend to the next
legislature the enactment of law providing
Tor separate cars for the blacks and whites."
similar law exists in Georgia. Tennessee. and
probably other southern states, and the COVER
nor believes that it is demanded by the white
people Of Virginia.

The boulder has ever since been known 10
those who have known of il at ALL az Brad
docks rock and to this day il is still intact
and unmolestsd by stone clipper or relic
hunter. 1t is not deemed of any account in
history. though If the Braddock expedition
against Duquesne had been successful. as that
led By Gen. Forbes was three wears afterward,
this unpretentious boulder might now be es-
teemed as another Plymouth Rock. famous for
the landing of the pilgrims. Braddock would
doubtless have won for himself not only
the fame which fell to Gen. Forbes
and to Gen. Amherst for the capture
of Crown Point and Ticonderoga, but also
that which Gen. Wolfe secured in 1888 BY his
success at Quebec. all resulting in the relin-
qulshment of French authority on the Ameri-
can continent. Braddock would probably now
be reverei as one of the prime early heroes of
this western world and the course of his entire
Progress would be accounted as paths of glory.
But the unfortunate accident of defeat has
changed all that. Since success is the only
standard of merit and achievement. the world
delights not to tread in the footsteps of failure
Stll peculiar and melancholy interest at
taches to the career of Braddock. His route
from here to the scene of his death has been
accurately traced and verified in detall-his
first crossing Of the Potomac near Ha-per's
Ferry. then again above the junction of the
Little CacapOn: thence his march TO Cumber-
land. Md. and on into Pennsylvania TO Smith
Held and Fort Necessity; thence north to Con-
neilsville and Mt. Pleasant. and northwest to
the PItt-burg and Greensburg turnpike, and
finally due west across the MonOngahela to the
dismal battlefield Likewise the interesting
incident of his landing on the 24th street rock
is well authenticated. although the proof rests
solely upon oral tradition. A most diligent IN
curry has failed to discover even the slightest
mention OF II in any printed book or news
paper Nevertheless many wel-known anti
quarlans here have given their positive assur-
anee that the tradition is perfectly reliable. 1t
Is therefore a circumstance worthy OF general
notice that such an interesting landmark should
exist unhOnOred and unyalued right here at the
