White Walter Girls in Virginia.
( From the Staunton Vindicator.

CFrom the Staunton Vindicator.]
Mr.. J. Watkins Lee, manager of the
Rawley Springs, who was in Staunton
Saturday, said the colored men as din
ing room walters had given him so
much trouble in the past that for the
coming season he had engaged white
girls as walters. At the Hotel Inter-
mont, the new and frst-class hotel at
Covirgton, Allegheny, the proprietor
has also employed white girl walters.
At the Hotel Elkton, Rockingham, the
dining room is also waited on by white
waiter girls, every one of whom are
from Rockingham County. Before
opening the proprietor brought on from
New York an expert white girl waiter
who drilled the new girls in their
duties. A Staunton lady, who stopped
there last week, says the service is per-
feet. All the hotel keepers in this Sec
ton are beginning to agree that the
proximity of the great mountain water
ing places of Virginia, which are all
open in the summer, makes it very
difficult to retain satisfactory colored
dining room help in the towns or at
the smaller watering places, and there
is a general feeling among proprietors
to end the struggle by employing white
girls. Wherever the change has been
tried-Coviueton and Elkton-botht the
travelling public and the hotel proprie-
tors speak highly of the new service.

TWO PLEAD GUILTY.

Fred Herting and F. C. Harrington
pleaded guilty before Judge Blodgett
in the United States District Court to-
day, but sentence was not pronouced,
as, is understood, some the other in
dicted ones will also follow the exam
pie set and throw themselves upon the
mercy Of the Court.
Inspector Fitz, who has most of the
work in the cases, is not here yet, but
the evidence is so complete that Fitz's
presence is not absolutely necessary.
Inspector Stuart thinks that through
the exposures Of the Herald in the
East and the good work of the Post
Office inspectors in the West the busi-
ness which has been 50 profitable in
the past will be abandoned altogether.
1t is thought that Judge Blodgett will
simply impose fine on the defend
ants, with a warning that if they come
before him again they will be both
fined and imprisoned.

A Romance.

She was fair-and passion begun!
She smiled-and I could not but
love!
But when from afar I detected cdtarrh,
No beauty my passion could move!
In Despair che sought doctors in vain,
Till she learned o" "Humanity's boon;;"
Now her breath is as sweet as the dew
Which falls upon roses in June.
Tonight, as we sit in our home,
And | kiss her sweet lips DER and DER,
We bless Dr. Sage in our bliss,
For the Joy that be brought to our
door.
There is no disease more trying to
friendship than catarrh! The constant
effort to clear the throat and nose, the
foul breath, all the features Of the dis
ease, make it as much dreaded by the
friend as by the victim. Humanity has
cause to bless DR.. Sage for his "Catarrh
Remedy" The manufacturers offer to
forfeit $4,000 for any case they cannot
cure.

launched on the political sea. AS it is,
fina! and definite action has been post
poned until February, 1892, so that the
democratic Congress may have a fair
opportunity to show its interests in the
welfare of the people.
''This action was right and proper
The Southern Alliance men are the
backbone Of the Der-ocratic party, and
have battled for its success in days that
tried mems souls. If they can secure
relief in the old party they greatly pre-
fer doing so, and will prove as loyal in
the future as in the past. But let the
Democratic leaders bear in mind that
the eyes of brave and determined men
are turned upon them, and they are
expected to right the wrongs of the
toiling masses of the land; and not
only reform our iniquitous tariff laws,
but give the country financial relief"
NEGROES WILL VOTE.
In speaking Of the situation in the
South, one of the national officers of the
Alliance, himself a Southern man, said:
-"The whole tendency Of things seems
to force third party. fit comes, and
I believe it will, You may depend on
one thing-the negro will vote and his
vote will de counted, too.n
The leaders of the movement are not
at all bashful about making claims.
No less distinguished men in the Alli-
ance than President Polk, Chairman OF
the Executive Committee A1acune and
National Secretary Willitts, Of Kansas,
have expressed the sentiment that in
case the Alliance is forced into the
third party movement by the old par
ties refusing to recognize its demands
and nominating men who are distaste-
to the Alliance, the candidates of the
new party will not throw the election
into the House of Representatives, but
will carry enough States to have a
clean majority in the Electoral Col
lege.
SOUTH CAROLINA STANDS sQUARELY
BY THE OCALA DEMANDS.
Speaking generally, the order IS in
good shape in this State and is making
satisfactory progress. We are unload
ing some material, but results show a
net gain and a more compact, homoge-
neous membership.
We are organizing constantly, though
the most of the State has been already
covered. Within the past month the
State organizer has had calls from two
different counties, and the result of his
visits are apparent.
Outside of the political press and a
small circle of political spectators the
question of independent political action
by the Alliance is out of the question
SO long as the Alliance constitution re-
mains as it is. It cannot be changed
before next winter, and our people are
not disposed to worry about the bridge
before they get to it,
From close and frequent contact
with them in every quarter of the State
I can safely say they may be counted
on to stand squarely by all the de-
mands of the Alliance. Governor Till
man to the contrary notwithstanding.
The tempter of the people is such that
they will repudiate any man, however
trusted, who cannot support the Alli-
ance demands, just as they repudiated
Hampton last fall.

PORTRAIT SHARKS IN THE TOLLS.
Some People Hereabout5 VIII Now Get
Hack their Photos.
lFrom the New York Ierald.1

From the New York Herald
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 9, lS9l.-The
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. business,
made so profitable in New York by
Budzzillein, is regular gold mine here,
and the field has been worked by sew
eral persons for all it is worth. OF late,
however, the general government has
taken a hand IL. the matter, the con-
sequence being that the April Grand
Jury of the Federal Court looked into
the cases submitted to them by Post
Office Inspector James c. Stuart and
brought indictments against the Ivl-
lowing mem
Albert Richmond and Henry Abra-
ham, proprietors of the Fine Art Por-
trait Company, No. 2,2OO State street:
P. Fred Herting, proprietor Of the
Pacific Portrait House, at No. 110 Ran
dolph street; J. Noble Jon"s, proprie-
tor of the American Art Company, at
No. &15 Wabash avenue, and T. C.
Harrington, manager of the Freeman
Crayon Portrait Company, al No. POS
Clark street. Fl. E. Waters, National
Life Size Portrait Company, has also
been indicated.
These men were Immediately arrested
and put under 1900 bonds each,
charged with using the mails for fraudu-
lent purposes.
Inspector Stuart said the same game
was played here as that exposed by the
Herald in the case of fBudzzellein. They
sent hundreds of thousands of circulars
through the mails to All parts of the
country, offering to make first class
crayon portrait, life size, from a photo
graph, free Of charge, the only consid-
GRAFTON being that the crayon shall be
exhibited in some conspicuous place,
where the friends Of the fortunate man
can see it. The impression is given out
that this particular individual is the
only one in the town favored with the
circular and, naturally enough, hesends
the photograph. It may be the photo
graph of himself or wife, or some
dead relative. 1t is usually the latter.
MUST HAVE A FRAME ALSO.
\ short time after the receipt of the
photograph second circular ssent out
to the effect that so nice a crayon por-
trait should have proper frame, which
they will supply from S. up to $40. If
the.owner of the photograph doesn't
bite he is not apt to hear from the por-
trait people again, although in the Sec
ond circular they never fail to say
that one of the best artists in the coun-
try is at work on the picture, and that
it is progressing finely.
Since the indictments the mails have
been crowded with pictures that were
being returned to the parties showing
what an immense business had been
done by these men.
The Inspector has scores of letters,
the burden of complaint Oh the part of
the writers being that they were gross
iy deceived, and in the majority of
cases couldn't set their photographs
back; some of them had sent money
for the frames and had heard nothing
in reply.
