WYTHEvnLE, Va, June 1.-TSpeciall
The recent municipal election in
Wytheville resulted in the defeat of
the late incumbent. VIM. l.. Yost, for
mayor by VIM. Terry. Two negro men,
George Jones and Laule Smith, ran for
councilmen, but were defeated. 1t was
reported at one time that the negroes
were holding meetings to nominate o
colored candidate for mayor, and as the
white people were split up among sew
eral candidates it was feared they might
succeed in electing negro. Therefore,
two of the white canG idates Withdrew.
The baccalaureate sermon preached
before the young ladies OF Plumer Col
lege on Sunday by DR.. James Y. Fair,
OF Richmond. was from the text found
in Luke, 1850, "And He said to the
Roman. Thy faith hath saved thee; go
in peace" 1t was tender admonition
and an appreciative tribute to women
and was listened to with absorbing at
tention. not only by the young ladies to
whom 1t was preached, but by the whole
large audience.
Last evening commencement eXer-
cises were held in the college hall.
Part l consisted of several we'll rem
dered musical selections, vocal and in
strumental Part III of "Longfellow's
Masaue of Pandora" a beautiful and
artistic dialogue, interspersed with
effective tableaux. After this followed
DR.. Fairs address before the literary
societies His subject was, ''The battle
of life and how to win it," 1t was a
charming address, pointed, practical,
poetical and appropriate, containing
wise advice and beautiful thoughts for
all BEGINNING life vounp man nc uoll NJ,
young women. The graduating and
kindergarten exercises will take place
this evening after which the reception
will be held in the college parlors. The
father, sister and brother Of Miss Kate

his latter years he had had no beard at all is
almost certain, for Las Casas, who met him
after his last voyage. dwells upon his monk
ish appearance; while his son Diego ex-
plicitly says that he assimilated his dress
ana manners to those of the franciscan
brothers, "to whom he was much attached"
In the Sturm ind Drang period of his life.
however, he probably paid little attention to
resents him with beard. and which has
inspired scores of paintings and engravings,
probably refers 10 this epoch of his career.
Ii follows, then, that the Columbus who dis
covered America just 450 years ago was
bearded as in the accompanying portrait.
The point is. perhaps, of small Importance :;
but unless we can form mental image Of
any historic parsonage in whom we are in
terested be might as well be a sun-myth, a
convenient abstraeti0n-the of the situa-
ton.
1t is unfortunate that not one of the
many Columbus portraits can be proved to
be authentic. Many of the most effective.
such as that of Sebastian del Pi0mbo. now
in the possession of the Prince de Valon-
ceZ, are obviously efforts OF fancy Piombo
has inscribed on his picture, "Haec est
effigies liguri Miranda Colombo Antpodum
primuS rate qui penetrayit in oIbem"; but
seeing that the artist was only a boy
when Columbus died IL is difficult to attach
much credence to this assurance. OF inter-
est it is, however. to mention that Piomb0
represents the navigator c.ean shaven. Our
own portrait, which is reproduced from
Natura ed Arte of Milan, is copy OF a
painting in the Museum Of Vicenza, a
province of Northern Italy, and the home

THEY BLAME THE INDIAN.
Woodehoppers In Maine Havs Un-
csnny Experience.

canny Experience.
Last night the lumber camp Of Thomas
Archer. in Amherst, was fired and burned,
and the crew of twenty men who occupied
the howell barely escaped with their lives to
a place of safety. All the supplies and
contents Of the camps were lost, writes a
Bangor Me- correspondent. Among the
employees was an Indian.
He never slept in the camp or mingled or
conversed with the crew, but his ak was his
company and in the woods ne did the work
Of three men.
The crew commenced to fear him greatly,
and things about the camp had q queer way
of disappearing and reappearing in un-
looked-for places. Stories OF strange noises
at night in the woods were told. and weird
lights were said to have been seen flying
abou: in the darkness by the crew.
The Indian would often be absent nearly
all night. but would be back in the morniD z
and do his work as usual.
Men would awake suffering from wounds
and blows received while asleep. Finally
they determined to stand Ii no longer and
demanded the uncanny Indians discharge
and MIR. Archer complied.
1t was received in silence and the Indian
glared at the crew and disappeared into the
woods. That very night the camp was
burned, and the more superstitious of the
crew declared that they heard loud laughter
