DEATH OF LIEUT.. ALBERT CYR
One of the Most Popular Students at
Bethel Academy Passes Away.

fCorrespondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
BETHEL ACADEMY, Va. March 5.-Our
community is much grieved over the death
of Lieutenant Albert j. Cyr, of Company
A, which recently occurred at the aca-
deny. His death was caused by a compli-
cation of diseases superinduced by grip.
He was one of the most popular students.
His remains were accompanied 70 his home,
in Jeannerette. La, by his brother. who
reached his bedside few hours before be
breathed his last. This is the first death
at the academy for fifteen years.
COMING REUNION.
The students and faculty are looking
forward with great interest to the grand
reunion of old cadets which will take
place next June. General-Superintende
Smith expects about five hundred old stu
dents. Speeches will be made by some OF
the leading orators of the day, among
whom Senator Daniel is expected to be,
who is at present patron of the school.
MOVED TO LouDoUs.
The cases of Rosenberger. Spindle Il
Co., who have been indicted for embezzle-
ment of the funds of the bank which re-
Gently failed in Warrenton, came up tew
days ago in the court of this county, but
it being thought they could not get far
trial here, they were transferred to the
Loudoun court. 1t is thought by some
that popular opinion IS equally against
them there, and some think that tho YER
dict OF the jury there will be severe.
Each of them are bailed in the sum Of
$4,000.
Joe DYE and Lee Hefin are expected to
hang in WarIentou on the 18th instant.
The former may secure new trial. AS
has been stated in the DISPATCH, they were
convicted OF being the murderers of
Widow Hines and her little ones to secure
money.

IL was charged IN 1888 tnht General Ma
hone, as chairman of the Republican State
Committee, violated the party law and had
the district delegates elected at the place
where the State convention was held in
this city. The result was the election of
opposing delegations at subsequent cleo
tions held in the various congressional
districts. A majority of these were admit
ted TO the Chicago convention and Colonel
Brady was made member Of the National
Committee.
Colonel Brady was asked this evening
II the same conditions exist now. and
whether the same irregular methods would
be adopted by General Malone again. In
reply he said: THE call for tho state
convention has not yet been made public,
Il indeed. 1t had been prepared by General
Malone. ! assume that the party organixs-
ton IN Virginia will conform its action to
the call OF tho national committee which
clearly provides for State Convention to
elect -FOUR delegates at large and for district
conventions to be held in the respective
Congressional districts for the election OF
district delegates. II. however. the call OF

One Kind of Selfishness.

There are many phases of selfishness
and perhaps the most trying of the
various manifestations of this fault Oh
faults is not recognized under this name
at all. What is called sensitiveness,
however, is very often nothing but sell
6shness pure and simple-a morbid,
miserable form, too-making the person
herself and every one around her un-
comfortable. A frank, generous, unset
fish nature is not forever on the lookout
for sights and unkindnesses on the part
Of others. What can be more trying
than person who is continually having
her feelings hurt, who magnifes every
hasty, unintentional word into griev-
ance, brooding thereon until it assumes
exaggerated proportions?
