Love in Chicago and New York.

We must take issue with Mrs. Eliza
Archer Conner. 1t grieves us, for she is
not only woman, but also woman OF
brains, intelligence and energy. Yet.
partly for these very reasons, we eve
compelled to do so. We cannot permit
to go unconcradisted the assertion SO
manifestly absurd and untrue as her as
sertion that Glove plays SINAI part in
the affairs of life"
Mind you, we do not say that it may
not be true in New York, in that city of
knotted veins and Slapped energies. 1t
may be that love plays a small part in
the affairs of life in New York. We
should not be surprised to learn that il
does. The observer of that life is forced
to believe that, whatever may be the
part of love, the parts of vanity and
selflshness and greed and other unpleas-
ant qualities are very much greater. II
love plays any part in New York Mrs.
Conner is probably right 1t 3 probably
q; small part.
But here in Chicago, where the life OF
the people has not been poisoned by the
evil influences that prevail elsewhere
love plays very large part indeed. II
is, we think, not exaggeration to call il
the handspring of existence. Every man
in this city is spurred on to exertion and
achievement by his love for one or more
women. Every woman dreams sweet
dreams of one or more men. Parents
love their children, children love their
parents and even (soinctimes) their par
ents-in-law. Friends love friends and
everybody loves himself or herself. Yes
love is very prevalent here in Chicago.
1t is a good thing, too. Mrs. Connoa
seems to realize this, and therefore we
invite her to visit us and cheer her DIES
pondent heart by observing how gener
ally and how warmly we love one an
other.-ChicagO Post.

will of the late Major VIM. r. Suthtr
lin was probated in Danville yesterday
and according to its terms his widow
Jane z. Sutherlin, was appointed exec.
utri1, without security.
The estate is valued ut $4,000. The
will was made in November, 1884, was
written in Major Sutherlin's hand and
is very brief. He bequeaths $4,000 to
his son-in-law, Col. Francis l.. Smith,
of this city. The balance Of his estate,
consisting of lands, farming imple-
ments, money, stocks and bonds, he
bequeaths to his wife during her life
time, and then to his granddaughter,
Jane Sutherlin Smith, during her life
time free from the control of her hus-
band. AT her death the property is to
go to the issue of the granddaughter.
In case of the death of the granddaugh-
ter without issue the property will go
to Mrs. Sutherlin in fee simple. In
case of the death of Mrs. Sutherlin Col.
Smith becomes executor, without Sc
curity. The will provides that no ap-
praisers are to be appointed, and Mrs.
Sutherlin is to manage the estate in
such manner as she may deem advisa-

THE r. & D. r. r. IN SOUTH CARO-
LINA.-The case of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company against the
railroad commissioners of South Caro-
lima was heard by Judge Simonton, of
the United States district court at
Greenville, S. c., yesterday. The suit
comes up on an application for the dis
solution of an injuntion granted by
Judge Bond, at Baltimore, three weeks
ago, restraining the commissioners
from enforcing new rate on transpor-
tation of liquors in glass. The railroad
claims that the rate was made for the
benefit Of the State dispensary, which
is given by law monopoly on the IL
quor business. The rate fixed for the
transportation of liquor in glass is the
same as that heretofore charged for
transportation in bulk. The railroad
claims that glass involved more risk
and trouble in handling and should pay
a higher rate. The pivotal point of the
case is the construction of the four
teenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States, which, it is alleg-
ed, the new rule violates.

Lower Fairfax Items.

Mr.. F. F. Triplett, who has been
quite sick, is well again.
The roof of Olivet Church is to be re.
paired at an early date.
Mr.. r. w. Gaillard was quite i'll for
day or two last week, but is well
enough to be out again.
Miss Sara J. Triplett has returned
from Brooklyn, where she spent the
winter and spring, to her home, Round
Hill, for the summer.
Miss Leila AIilstead has returned
from the Normal Summer school. Her
friends are glad to have her back in

Mr.. ]. Hammitt Claggett and his

taken trip to the neighborhood of
Groom, Maryland, where they are WIS.,
iting relations.
Mrs. Nancy Clarke, an old resident
of the Lorton neighborhood, died after,
q long illness on Thursday last. She
was buried at Lewis chapel on Satur-
day, the funeral services being conduct
ed by the minister, Rev. c. L. SIM
mons.
The Olivet neighborhood has been
much enlivened this summer by the
many visitors who are enjoying the
pure air and good food of old Fairfax.
Alexandria has been we'll represented
by the families of Mrs. Van Fleck and
| Mr.. Nash, who are the guests Of Mrs
Mamie Jayins.
A refreshing rain fell last Sunday
throughout lower Fairfax and happily
broke the long drought. 1t will do
much good for the pastures and late
corn, and will help the gaEiens, which
have been almost dried up. There was
violent storm of wind around Oivet,
which did some damage to the fruit
crop.
The same night at half past eight
o'clock Olivet church was the scene of
pretty wedding, the bride and groom
being Miss Ada Talbert and Mr.. J.
William Nero. The ushers were Mes
srs. William Brawner, of Washington,
and Mr.. Malcolm Mclean, of Fairfax.
The chancel was beautifully decorated
with ferns and golden rod, which look
ed very effective when lighted up. As
the bridal procession marched up the
aisle the choir sang the wedding hymn.
1.-The voice that breathed DER Eden
when the service was said by the rec
tor. Rev. S. A. Wallis. The bride and
groom at once proceeded to their new
home near Gum Spring, Fairfax
county.
During the first week in August the
air of lower Fairfax was made must
cal by the sound Of wedding bells.
Last "Wednesday at five o'clock in the
evening Mr.. William NJ. hewitt, son of
Mr.. Samuel f. hewitt, was married to
Miss Carrie Arnold. at Fairview, the
residence of the brides father, Mr.. An
drew Arnold. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. S. a. Wallis, rector
of Pohick church. Quite large COM
pany was present, nearly all relatives
of the bride and groom. At the conclu-
sion of the service both received the
congratulations of their friends, when
all repaired to the beautiful shaded
lawn where refreshments were served.
Mr.. and Mrs. hewitt left on the evening
t. a n for Alexandria in time to take the
boat to Norfolk.

NEGROES TAKEN TO New YORK
New York's floating population was
largely augmented yesterday by the ar
rival of many negroes from Winston
Salem, n. c., who were brought North
on the assurance that they could find
profitable employment here. The ne
groes are located at Warren's Hotel.
So far, the negroes have been unable to
obtain any employment, and they de-
cided to secure the arrest of the repre-
sentative of the employment agency,
who accepted their money, and brought
them to New York, on the assurance
that there was work for them there.
The representative of the employment
agency denied that he made any such
guarantee. Yesterday afternoon the
colored men made all sorts of threats
against their guide, whom they accuse
Of taking money from them on false
representations.
