Music for the Insane,

DR.. Blackford, Superintendent of the w.
L. Asylum, is trying the experiment Of a
brass band for the diversion of the patients.
The band SO far is only aquartette compos-
ed of male attendants, but under only two
OF three weeks instruction of that efficient
teacher, Prof. L. Mem. Turner, it plays
very nicely three or four tunes. 1t will be
enlarged from the ranks Of the attendants
later, and will give music in the buildings
and on the grounds Of the Asylum. Last
week the quartette played on the floor OF the
''big building" where most OF the patients
are deemed incurable, and some OF those
who for years had not been known to notice
anything, became quite interested and
enlivened over the music, while q few I'M
dertook to dance to it. The superlnten-
dent thinks it will form an important dl-
version from the monotonous routine OF
their daily life for the patients to hear the
band performances, and prove as effective IN
giving variety as the amusements and plays
given there have proven,

Robert Downing In .ssThe saracen.


The young American tragedian Robert
Downing, will appear at the Opera House
next Monday night in the romantic drama
"The Saracen' by Dumas. The play,
which is admirably suited to Mr.. Downing's
powers, will be handsomely staged in the
matter of scenery and costumes-the latter
coming from Paris, and those worn by
Miss Eugene Blair, the leading lady, are
said to be especially elaborate. Miss
Blair is already a greatfavorite in staun-
ton. and the supporting company is said
to be what might be expected with such a
leading woman. 1t will be an agreeable
change to our Staunton people to turn for
a night from the light ''skit0 companies
that have been so numerous thisseaSon, to
the real drama in the hands of real
artists.

The Cigarette and Concealed Weapon
Law.

We publish, by request, the cigarette law
passed by the last legislature, remarking,
however, that it is essentially defective in
that it does not fine the youth who is seen
smoking them. That amendment would
redeem it in some measure from being,
what it is now, dead letter:
/. Be it enacted by the General Assembly
of Virginia, That if any person shall sell,
barter, give or furnish OF cause to be sold. :
bartered, given OF furnished to any minor I'M
der sixteen years of age cigarettes or pistols,
drinks or bowie knives, having good cause to
believe him OF her to be a minor under six
teen years of age, such person shall be fined
not less than ten nor more than one hundred
dollars.
2 This act shall be in force from its pas
sage.

The Time for Killing cartridges has Elk
pired by Law.

plt64 Dy Law.
1t is important that the public should
know that the open season for shooting OF
trapping cartridges expired by law yester-
day, January 1st. The impression that it
did not expire till February LIST, arose from
the fact that the last legislature did at
tempt to extend it to that date. But the
law proved to be unconstitutional from the
fact that the constitution requires the pur-
pose of a law to appear in it's title, and such
did not appear in the new law. Judge J.
W. Stout Of the County Court, and Com
monwealth' s Attorney Meade f. White,
have carefully looked into the matter and
arrived at the conclusion that the open sea-
son expired yesterday, January 1st, and
that those who shoot partridges after that
are liable to the fine and other punish
ment Of the bird law as it stood before any
attempt was made to extend the time. Our
readers who are huntsmen. will do well to
make a note of this.

DANGER AHEAD.
The Rates Ordered Restored May II, Re-
gardIess of the Alton.

=
CHICAGO. Ill, April 30-The Western
passenger circles are all torn up over the
ruling of Chairman Finley that rates be-
tween ST. Louis and Chicago and between
Kansas City and st. Louis must be restored
to the tariff basis of $50 as early as May
IL The feeling prevails that while Mr..
Finley is technically right, in his ruling,
it would have been wise to defer
it in view of the Atoms an
nouncement that it could not, under
any circumstances, consent to restoration
of these rates while being boycotted by its
Eastern connections. The decision will
force the Alton to withdraw from the
Western passenger association and precipi-
tate the trouble that might have been en-
tirely avoided by few weeks delay.
Having declared that it would not advance
rates while the boycott is in force, it can
not consistently allow the opposition to go
10 arbitration as the board of
arbitrator would have no right to
take the boycott into consideration and
would very naturally sustain Chairman
Finley The fact is, however, that Finley
had no power to withhold his decision, even
if he desired to do SO. Two members of
the association, the Santa Fe and the
Wabash, insisted that the rate should be
ordered restored as soon as the chairman
should become satisfied that the market
was was no longer disturbed by cut rate
tickets. Under the circumstances he could
not have delayed his ruling without giving
some good reason for it.
