One pint of brown sugar, onc gill OF
sweet milk, onc-half pint of molasscs,
one-half cake of chocolate, grated,
and n good teaspoonful Of butter.
Boil over a slow fire, stirring until the
ingredients are dissolved, and occa-
sionally afterwards, as it burns easily.
Test it by dropping IA little into cold
water. If it hardcns quickly remove at
once from the fire, flavor with vanilla
and pour into buttcrcd tins. One should
be careful in adding the extract, as the
heat is likely to set fire to the alcohol,
especially If added while on the stove.
When cool, mark the caramcls in

The Times Drew Him.

Mr.. Silas Wilkinson, of Mount Riga,
New York, is at Hotel Roanoke. In
conversation with a TINES reporter yes
terday he said: II am here for the first
time. ] was in L%ynchburg the day
after the Rivermont banquet and was
handed a copy of TIE ROANOKE TIMES.
| was SO much struck with it's appear
ance that determined to see the tow
which supported it. / am surprised at
Roanoke's enterprise and development,
at the fine residences and business
blocks which are going up, and the
many evidences of prosperity. Since l
nave started I I'm going to sec the
whole of Southwest Virginia now.

Our Hotel Edition.

Frank A. Haywood in Salem Times Register.
Among tho best undertakings for
building up the interests of Virginia is
that which has been taken vigorously in
hand by TIE ROANOKE TIMES. That
newspaper will publish for circulation
throughout the country. an edition Of
some 10000, which will describe the at
fractions offered by Virginia hotels. In
connection with this, THE TIMES sent
James a.. Pugh through tho State, and
he has found that many thousands can
be accommodated. The plan Of THE
TINES is Il good one. New Hampshire,
whose summer attractions are so we'll
advertised through it's White Mountain
scenery, receives I'VE $1,000, 600 each
year from its summer visitors. The at
fractions Of Virginia are moro inviting
than of any State in the world, and there
is no doubt that through this movement
the Old Dominion will reap its share OF
the benefits of the season of summer
travel.

For a

Mr.. Phil Brown, of Blue Ridge
Springs, was in the city yesterday with
the view of establishing a natatorium
at the springs this summer.
1t is proposed to form a stock com
pany with a capital stock of sc. 600 di-
vided into shares Of $40 each and to
construct two largo basins as swimming
pools. The pools will be forty by seventy
feet in size and separated from each
other by a brick wall. One of the
pools is to be used by ladies and the
other by gentlemen.
In the center of each pool will be
erected a pipe, so that shower baths as
we'll as plunge baths may be taken.
Arrangements will also be- made to
heat the water to exactly the right tenn
perature.
Mr.. d. S. Meadows, of this city, is
getting up the company and the nata-
torium in all probability will be one of
Blue Ridge Springs additional attrac-
tiOnS this summer.

POINTERS FOR REFORM.

Candidates for Council arc getting
:aield. More will appear, but not all
will stay. 1t is to be hoped that munich,
pal politics nay be made to mean some
thing. 1t doesn't make a cents odds to
the voter and taxpayer whether a
candidate is a "good fellow or not.
The men who should be sent to Coun-
Gil should be those best fitted to be
councilmen. business men and hard
workers are needed. There is large
amount of money to be spent in the
next year, and the city needs men who
can be trusted to spend that money
honestly and economically. Not a
dollar should be wasted.
1t is perhaps early to discuss the
matter, but there is q great opportunity
for reform in the city ordinances at
many points. The building regulations
arc buried somewhere, and buildings
are being erected which arc fire traps
for the destruction OF adjoining prop
erty. The matter has been ignored too
long.
The most important subject of ali is
that OF taxation. The whole code of Ii
cense laws are unwise and weigh heavily
upon the poorer classes. Nine out of
ten ought TO be wiped off the statute
books. We wisely exempt manufactur-
ing plants from taxation and yet tax op-
pressiveiy professional men, merchants
and a dozen occupations which ought to
be set free. At the same time the city
loses thousands Of dollars annually
through lax and unjust assessments
which value a $50, 900 tract at less than
one.tenth its worth and assess a poor
mans lot at three-fourths it's selling
value. What candidates for Council
will raise a protest against these wrongs?

TIE TIMES is pleased to see that the
Fredericksburg Free Lance appreciates
our Salem correspondents little joke
about Officer Boon's billy being pros
trated with brain fever after having
been laid across tho skull of an unruly
negro. 1t is further glad to be able to
nnounce thai the billy has recovered
sufficiently to be about although its
head is done up in splints.

The Chess, Checker and whist Club.

A full meeting of the Roanoke Chess,
Checker and Whist Club was held at
their rooms, over the First National
Bank, last night. 1t was the unani-
mou desire of the club hat the chess
clubs of Richmond, Norfolk and Lynch
burg be invited to arrange a series eff
consultation chess games with tho now
firmly established club OF Roanoke.
There is no doubt good material il this
city which can give good accounts Of
itself at the board of the king of games.
1t was ordered also that the regular
meetings of the club be held each Tues
day evening at 8 o'clock.

WOOL \ SHEEP.

The statement is made that a sheep
ranch of 6,000 acres is to be established
In the Shenandoah Valley. This is as
good news as would be the location of q
fine industry. 1t means tho rounding
out of the development of Southwes
Virginia. Wooden mills are coming in
rapidly. If the supply of wool of proper
grades is sufficient, there will be scores
OF wooden mills whore now there is one.
1t is certain that tho farmers of this
section are looking with more interest
toward wool raising as a sure method of
making money than to any other means.
Not only is there a largo direct in
the wool, but experience has taught
that sheep will add ten por cent q wear
to the value Of the ground they feed on.
And ton per cent. is good interest on an
investment.
1T is a safe prediction that there will
he an increase of so per cent. in the
number of sheep in Southwest Virginia
within the next twelve months, and an
increase of rs per cent. in the wool clip,
due to the introduction of superior
grades.
At the same time farmers will have to
encounter the dangers arising from the
absence of a dog law. Worthless ours
whose hides are not worth the stripping
will range at large.
Farmers of Southwest Virginia, there
are two issues for the fall campaign
which are vastly more important to you
than all tho political platforms Of a
score of years: One is a stringent dog
law, the other is a law putting convicts
at work on county roads instead O
competing with honest labor in maxim,

THE CASES AGAINST DYER DISMISSED
At the Cost of A. s. Jones, the Delinquent
BOarder.

At the Cost OF A. S. Jones, the Delinquent
Boarder.
The case of 5. L. Dyer, lis Fourth
avenue s. W., charged with selling
liquor and keeping a boarding house
without license, was heard before
Mayor Evans yesterday morning.
Complaint had bcen made to Officer
Vest by A. L. Jones the day before, and
on the information thus received a war
rant was issued and executed by the
officer as detailed in THE TINES yester-
day morning.
The accused was represented by A. P.
Staples. A large number of witnesses
were examined. The first was A. L.
Jones. He said he had only heard that
Mr.. Dyer had sold whiskey without IL
cense. He knew hat he kept more than
five boarders, however, and had in
formed against him to get revenge for
Mr.. Dyer's continual doging after him
for q board bill. He gave him a note
which Dyer would not give back. He
then decided to inform against him.
a letter was produced by Mr.. Staples
which had been addressed to Mr.. Dyer,
and which contained threatening Ian
guage, and went on to detail what he
would do. Several other witnesses were
examined, and but one had seen any
liquor about the house. That was
Douglass boswell. Mr.. Dyer had given
him a half pint Of brandy on Sunday ON
account of sickness.
The mayor dismissed the case at tho
cost of Jones, remarking that it was a
case of malicious prosecution.

ONE OF THE THINNING RANK.

A long list of surviving union generals
published the other day shows that, since
Gems. Sherman, Sheridan and Thomas are
zone, Gen. H. w Slocum, the commander
OF the famous old Twelfth corps, stands
nearly at the head Of those who are left, in
order Of services. The general is as popular
as he is brave. have never met man Of
more unvarying consideration for others,
and have seen him under the most pecu-
liar CT cumstances.
1t is nearly tea years now since Gen.
Slocum was defeated In the democratic
state convention, where he was a. aspirant
for the governorship nomination, by
treachery IN the camp Of the Brooklyn
politicians. The next day when | went to
interview the general he had taken 70 his
bed, rather from physical fatigue than dis
appointment, lsuppose. When Mrs. Slocum
bore my message TO him he insisted upon
seeing me. | went upstairs and found him,
his face looking pale and wan against the
white pillow case. Mrs. Slocum sat by the
bedside, her fine face full Of solcltude
add interest, but the old warrior
seemed just as much concerned in my got
ting the interview / was after as il he hadn't
O single worriment upon his mind
Only little before Washington Bishops
death, Gen. Slocum was chosen as tue sub
ject Of one Of his experiments. When the
sturdy old soldier, manned in his country's
cause, mounted the stage, there was ire
mendous burst Of applause. Few men have
so many friends in their own neighUor-
hood.
