Colonel Thomas Whitehead, Commits
sioner OF Agriculture. has completed ar
rangements with the Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Blacksburg for
assaying minerals for the owners OF
lands In the State, as provided by law
passed by the last Legislature.
This arrangement will prove Of great
assistance in developing the mineral re-
sources of the State, and it was about the
only recommendation Of value out OF a
number presented by the Board OF Agri-
culture which was adopted by the law
makers. The act reads as follows:
BE II enacted by the General Assembly
OF Virginia, That the State Board OF
Agriculture shall be charged with the
assaylng. for the benefit OF owners
thereof, of any minerals found in the
State, and shall have authority to make
such arrangements with the board Of
visitors OF the Virginia Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Blacksburg as will
secure the most economical performance
of this work

passage"

Wonderful Math. NAUTICAL Phenomenon.


There died some time since in Kappa
hammock county one of those characters
whose mathematical powers were simply
wonderful, and whose untutored genius,
like that of Blind Tom, followed no rule,
yet in his special line was unsurpassed
by those who had all the advantages OF
birth and education. Old Roland Cub
bage never went to school a day in his
life, could neither read nor write and
his language was like that OF his noun
tain friends, among whom he spent his
worthless and aimless life. Sums, pro-
blems and equations were unknown guam
titles with him so far as reducing them
to print was concerned, yet he was a
veritable machine in their solution.
He knew no rules, had no system he
could explain TO others, yet he would
give correct answers TO problems that
involved the most abstruse principles
only understood by the mathematician.
He could give no reason for his work,
yet the results reached by him involved
the use OF formulas not often remembered
by the graduate. He was familiar, or
seemed TO be, with each kind of applied
mathematics, and could measure land OF
any conceivable shape calculate heights
and distances. add any given number
of figures. multiply rows Of them that
would tire one, and his answers were
given with a quickness and intuition
that set at defiance all rules and only
in accord with them in that his results
were correct. Time and again has this
old man been tested by some of our local
proficlents, who taxed their ingenuity and
their knowledge to stump him and al
ways with the same result. Cubbage was
equal TO all these emergencies and the
surprise and wonder of his testers were

itself from those who hear Blind Tom
for the first time. They see, hear and
wonder, yet cannot tell how Ii all is or
whence it comes.
Like all such strange characters, Cub
bage was good for one thing only, and
as a worker or toiler he was a sad failure.
He never turned his great talent TO any
use. and lived and died, as his mountain
neighbors. a poor and thriftless man.
Now and then he would amuse the
crowds which gathered about him when
he came 10 town by exhibiting his great
power over figures to them, and In this
way gain n few honest pennies but these
soon found their way to the nearest bar
room, and the old man would return TO
his home on the Ridge as poor as he left.
Strange as IL may seem the old man
never sought TO make money out of his
gift, and 1t is said refused several offers
TO travel as a wonder Barnum himself
failed 10 secure him, so the story goes,
and now that the old man is gone the
pubic will have no oportunity OF wit

verifying this account OF what he could
do. There are plenty still living, however.
Who knew Cubbage; many who tested his
powers. and who will gladly say that
what has been here written is true. Il.

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CITY's AID
DITION.

Whether 1t was wise to make the add-
ton in the West End to the city, or
whether 1t was not, the addition has been
made, and the situation should now be
dealt with from that point of view. In
our judgment ii was a wise move for the
city to take that territory in. The ex-
pensive residences of the city are all
enough in the western city limits for
them and they demanded more territory.
The territory being now added II streets
and water and sewers and gas are sup
piled, they will soon give an account of
themselves that will make every dollar
spent there return to the city many
times. We believe, beyond question, that
II these improvements are introduced in
the territory taken In the residences that
Will 90 up in that territory within the
next five years will make its annual tax
returns ten times the interest on the
money necessary to provide them. This
Is no case for cheese-parlng economy.
The territory is now an integral part OF
inc CITY Let treat IL as SuCfl, anu get
out OF II the benefits that II is ready
10 pour Into the citys lap II II only re-
cc3ves that recognition which wisdom
plainly dictates that we should yield TO
II.
The action OF the Finance Committee
Monday night touching the water-gas
plant and the electric plant is a crafty
Ing sign that we now have a Council
that IS operating with an intelligent de-
sign TO spend the citys money Where
money ought to be spent, and to refuse
IL where 1t would be thrown away. II
was wise in 1t to recommend the expendi-
ture OF $4,000 for a water-gas plant. be-
cause the city must have one. and 1t will
make a great return for the money spent.
II was wise TO refuse $4,000 for an cleo
tic plant, because we do not need one
and the only demand for It is to provide
warm berths for political heelers.
Deal. now. gentlemen. with this ques-
ton OF improving the western addition
in the same broad-minded and just
spirit, and you will greatly improve your
city and add immsnsely to Its taxable
resources. Let the day of the dema-
sogue and 81 10000 City Hell be relegated

"Ths Soudan -

Messrs. c. B. jefferson, Kiaw & Erlan-

cessful career at the Mozart and the pub
lie and rhe management alike are
pleased. Despite the many counter at
fractions that have been offered during
the past week. the house has been
crowded nightly with an audience that
were not stnted in their expressions Of
approval.
Taken altogether the Soudan is a great
success, and the Richmond public

all probability be the last season ii will

to:
Your Committee on Retrenchment ana
Reform unanimously report that, In con-
sequence Of the action or the Board OF
Aldermen at its last meeting In refusing
TO coucur In the report OF the CONFER
ence committee In regard to the powers
Of this committee and in insisting upon
its amendment passed at its August meet
ing, il is compelled to decline. tndividu-
ally and collectively, to act further In
the premises. Your committee is OF the
opinion that the action Of the Board in
limiting its authority absolutely ties the
hands OF the committee and deprives IL
OF all practical power to pursue It's IN
vestigations. Your committee further
considers that the action Of the Board
OF Aldermen indicates lack OF confidence
in the judgment. at least, Of the com
mittee, and necessitates It's withdrawal
from any further action or investigation.
Your committee feels that it would be
placing itself in a false position to at
tempt any further investigations, handi-
capped as it is by the aforementioned
amendment 1t might be urged that this
committee should proceed with it's inves-
tigations and do the best it could with
it's limited powers, but the committee
feels that this would create false inn
preston on the minds OF the public or
would place il in false position. Your
committee, therefore. respectfully asks to
be relieved from any further action and
be discharged.
Captain Guigon explained the situation
at some length, and seemed to voice the
sentiment OF the other members.

But here is an eclipse not down
in the visible every day
during this great silk season. 1t
puts our best former efforts very
much in the shadow; totally ecllpS-
ing the average display of Richmond
to-day.
No pains are spared to secure the
best silks of their several classes,
and we protect our customers from
silk Frauds dye-weighting and the
like.
Then, too, our orders were all
placed at the old prices, which were
about twenty per cent. below those
prevailing to-day. All this advan-
tage is yours---not yard is ad-
vanced in selling price here. The
direct saving to you is like getting
the silks at a trife under tO-day'S
import prices. Whether there's
enough here to weather us through
until prices break again is uncer-
tain---the powerS-that-be say
they're going to see that prices
rather stiffen more, instead of de-
clining; that they've worked for
nothing for several years waiting
for a marked return of the craze for
silks to retrieve their fortunes; that
the give-away prices fastened the
day, and now they will reap a
long-drawn-out harvest. Maybe 50;
maybe not. At any rate silk sell
ing goes merrily on here at old
prices-yes, in many cases, at
prices below last year.
With low prices now, the future
promising an advance which we
may not be able to help; with a
great stock and our best protection
as to the fabrics, the best advice IS
to buy now. Here's memoranda
