SOCIETY CHAT.

The temperance meetings being held every
Friday evening by the non-partisan w. G. T. U.

cess. The officers and inmates of the Home
contribute much to bring about this result

l.. III. Chase presiding and Miss Il. G. Levy act
ing as secretary A. NJ. Dewey. High Chief
Ruler of the Rechabites, made a stirring address
in favor of total abstinence, which was well re-
ceived by the audience. Mrs Calhoun, sister
of the lamented Custer, was present, and on in
vitaton gave two recitations which were ap-
plauded to the echo. Other entertainment was
furnished by the Rev. E. NJ. Mott, with read
,ings and recitations; the Misses Daughton and
Marsden, vocal duet, and selections by the
band. At the close of the meeting the old
soldiers pressed forward to grasp the hand of
Mrs. Calhoun, many of them having known

They Tried the Captains Temper

They Tried the Captains Temper
Capt Dinsmore, of the White House force,
who has stood the racket of twenty. odd years of
service in the mansion, was almost thrown into
an attack of nervous prostration on Wednesday
by siege of tourists. He was as near ''cross'
on this eventful day as mortal man ever was
who did not quite cross the line Of good nature
and indulge in an I'll be-. The Captains
'tale of woe" was as follows: ''There were
about g thousand of these tourists They
struck this place like cyclone about o'clock
this morning, and, being Taxpayers they all
felt that they owned everything about this
house. AS one man said-or was it woman
1 declare believe it was woman-she said
she paid taxes, helped to elect the
President, and meant to see the
White House from the kitchen to
the bedrooms. And then they brought
letters of Introduction by the hundred, all from
special friends of the President, claiming spe-
cial consideration. They wanted to see him,
to see the house, to Mrs. HARRISON to see the
Mckee babies to see Marthena. They wanted
to know why Mrs Harrison couldn't be happy
in such mansion, if pork and beans were ever
served on Saturday, if the weekly wash was
done with regularity on Mondays; if Mrs Har-'
rison kept Lent religiously. Then, when 1
refused to answer wanted to know who in -
was. Do you wonder that l am threatened
with appoplexy or nervous prostration."

HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE NEW CIRCUIT
JUDGE FINDS GENERAL FAVOR.

HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE NEW CIRCUIT
JUDGE FINDS GENERAL FAVOR.
LyHchbwg Adrance: The friends of
Judge Paul have determined to present
his name to President Harrison for ap-
pointment as the additional judge for the
Circuit Court of Appeals, to be appointed
for this circuit under the recent act of Cor
gress creating this court. This announce
ment will also carry great weight with it
throughout the country because of the ex-
eeptlonal strength of Judge PauPs name
as an applicant for promotion to the ex-
allied judicial position in question. No
man in Virginia, perhaps, ever acquired
greater personal popularity among the
people Of his own party than was won by
Judge Paul during his political career as
a popular speaker and as member OF
Congress during the period from 1879 to
1888, aud no man has n stronger hold
upon their popular affection than he has
retained 10 this dar. Since his elevation
to the bench as district Judge, aGout
eight years ago, his Judicial record has
secured for him The fullest confidence OF
the bar of the state, as well as of the
people, for his ability and learning as
lawyer, his courteous aid panstaking IL
vestigation of all cases before him, and
the fairness and lmpartiality of his de
cisions as a Judge To the strength of
these considerations which would make
his appointment the most popular act OF
President HarrisOn's administration
among the people of Yirg' MA, it may be
added that his application will, no doubt
be strengthened from the party stand
point of the President by the fact that
his appointment would be equally ac-
ceptable to every faction of the Repnbli
can party in Virginia, and is preferred to
that of any other by all the Leaders OF
that party without distinction as to their
dissensions on other questions.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Secretary
Blame received letter from Governor
Nichols, of Louisiana, this morning, 10
regard 10 the recent killing Of eleven
Italians in Jail at New Orleans. OF which
the following is copy
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT STATE
or LOUISIANA, BATON ROUGE,
March 81, 1892
Hon. James G.. Biaine, Secretary Of STATE,
Washington, d. c:
Slr-At late hour on the 18th instant
received dispatch from yOu having iei'
erence to the forcible breaking, on the
18th of tins month, Of the Jail in this
city, and the killing of eleven persons
confined therein under indictments found
il the criminal district court for the
parish of New Orleans.
You state to me that it had been repre-
sented TO the President, by the Minister
of Italy, accredited to the government OF
the United States, that among the killed
on that occasion were three or four sub
lects of the King of Italy. The telegram
disclosed apprehension on the part OF the
Minister, and evidently shared in by the
President, that the disturbance was a
continuous and swelling disturbance,
which might involve Italian subjects in
New Orleans. and | have reasons to believe
that the hope expressed by the President,
that | would cooperate with him in
maintaining the obligations of the United
States toward Italian subjects who might
be within the perils of the excitement,
and that further violence and bloodshed
might be prevented, was baseo upon that
belief. The President further expressed
the hope that all the offenders might be
promptly brought to justice.
On the 10th telegraphed you that there
was no excitement in the city at that tire
and that | saw no reason to anticipate
further trouble. | also stated that the
action taken was directed against partic-
ular individuals, and that race or nation
atty party or parties, did not enter as a
factor in the disturbance A week has
passed since the date Of my dispatch, and
the opinion then entertained as to the
termination of the trouble has proved to
have been we'll founded.
The men killed, as l have stated, were
confined in prison under indictments
found i'm tho Criminal District Court, for
the parish of New Orleans. The sheriff
has made his return of facts to court, the
Judge thereof has charged the grand jury
nov in session in regard to the matter,
and the whole subject ISL assure you, row
under investigation by that body. am
satisfied that most of the persons killed
were American citizens, bat it is probable
that two or three were Italian subj Gets.
| have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
FRANCIs I. NICHOLS.
Secretary Blaine, has sent copy OF the
letter to Baron Fava, the Italian minister.

Mr. TinsleV Talks.

II. e. Tipslev, editor Of the Staunton
indicator, and one of the best writers on
Virginia's industrial development, was
interviewed in Richmond last week by a
Dispatch reporter on various subjects.
Below we give an extract from the inter
view:
"What about booms," asked the report
er.
"Well, we expect to begin just wien
the weather clears up, and to open with
new scenery and an entirely new piece.
After all the symptoms we have seen we
are assured by the people mp North that
they are coming down here 10 good force,
aud they have good reason to come. To
n man who goes around as l have done
into every place it looks like magic
Great factories and new stores are spring
ing up and street cars (such thing was
never dreamed of in Virginia before) are
being established in small towns"
"Do you think they will last" querred
the reporter, "and that there is any good
reason for themp
81 eel tainly do" replied Mr.. Tinsley,
s'and don't say this because l have any
money Inyested-fOr haven't. The new
towns springing up IN Virginia are unlike
the bloom towns of the West, (tbey are
bloom towns, for as soon as the flower
drops from the bud nothing is leIt) and
think we are bound to prosper, for we
have iron--and you know, iron like gold,
Is WORTH money. though it takes little
more Of the former metal to bring as
mnch as cold does
"People say that the Northern capital
ists who come here" continued Mr.. Tins
ley, are ''offered great inducements, but
they forget that these inducements, con-
sidering the capital invested, are very
small. don't think however, that all
the new towns ought to call themselves
cities, for that sounds to those asked to
invest like a sblntf,' OF course they can
not all become cities. IT they turn out
like the 10000 population-Pennsy lyanIa
towns that will be sufficient and will pay
splendid profit on the money"

first two years of the list Democratic adj
