Our last talk with you was
about iir. Jaeger's Sanitary

have taken our advice and
commenced to profit by it
already.
We have another subject to
discuss with you to-day. The

show you that our remarks
will be on TIME.

The library, though small, al
ready contains many good books,
and when one remembers that q
considerable part of it is the fruit of
private donations of books which
were given away that the owners
might be rid of them, it is wonder
that it is as good as it is. 1t al
ready contains books which one
would seek in vain elsewhere, and
supplements most usefully many a
choice private collection. Yet it
is still woefully deficient. Suppose
for instance one is studying so trite
a theme as Roman History. He
will not find single standard work
on that subject in the library-and
deficiencies like this, glazing as ii
is, are common enough in many
other departments. 1t is hardly

The site for the new academy to
be established by the trustees of the
old Margaret Academy had marrow
ed down. at the last meeting to
Onancock and Cape Charles. Which
of these places will be selected we
are not we'll enough advised TO pre-
dict with certainty, but a late edl-
torial in the Headlight, of Cape
Charles, would seem to Indicate that
the plum was not falling that way
However this may be, unlike the
aforesaid editor, we have enough
confidence in the members OF the
Board to believe that they will To-
cate the academy where it is likely
to be of .the greatest good to the
greatest number-and that the vote
of each member will be honestly
cast for the place, which i'll their
Judgment. they believe should have
it. We can certainly see no reason
why a trustee from Northampton
should not vote for Onancock, and
we will not impugn the motives of
any trustee from Accomac, if he
should vote for Cape Charles. The
editor OF the Headlight docs not
think it possible that men of sense
will allow their prejudices to rob
northampton of educational adj
vantages within her reach" We
have always had enough confidence
in their good sense to trust them and
do so now with only one suggestion,
that if it is TO be given to the place
that needs it most, then the claims
of Drummondtown should be consid-
cred. The interests of the two coun-
ties are too closely identified to lay
the charge at the door Of any mem

Chairman Gordon Interviewed.

Hon. Basil B. Gordon, chairman of
the State Democratic Committee, is
in the city and is registered at the
Exchange Hotel. Referring to the
next campaign in the State, he said,
in conversation with Il Dispatch re-
porter last night, that he would call
the committee together at an early
date, but he did not know when nor
where the State Convention would
meet. as the decision on those points
would rest entirely with the COM
mittee.
Personally he was in favor of a late
convention and a short and sharp
campaign He thought the disposition
was to have the conventions too early.
4 long campaign tired every one out:
Mr.. Gordon said he would not stand
for reelection to the State Senate
and that he would not be in the race
for the United States Senatorship.
He had heard very little about State
politics, as all the talk around him
had been regarding United States
offices. He thought, however, that
one of the principal questions before
the melt Legislature would be the
Australian ballot svstem.-Richmond

Expensive Sport.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr has settled
with the State of New York for his
hunting exploit oflast summer among
the robins and song birds of Staten
Island 1t will be remembered that
he sailed over to Staten Island with
q gun, dog and colored servant and
slaughtered 46 small birds. A game
constable nabbed him at the ferry
and took him before a justice, who
fined him $3.50 and confiscated the
gun and dog for the misdemeanor of
killing song birds. The fine was paid
The State Game and Fish C Commission
then brought suit against him for
81, $50, being the legal penalty of S25,
each for killing Is robins and one
pewee, the property of the State of
New York" as the avernent read.
Mr.. Dixon hired Il lawyer and tried
to fight the case in the courts. 1t is
announced that he has been able to
compromise the matter by the further
payment of $500 and $3.50 costs.

The Conference of Southern Governors

The Conference of Southern Cover
nors at Richmond completed its
labors yesterday, after adopting
measures of a practical character.
Moderation and good sense prevailed.
The conference created basis for
future action by approving q plan OF
having in each State working
board of six members to look after
the States material interests. One
member of the proposed board is to
look after exports and imports, an,
other is to consider commercial
relations, a third is to study mining
interests, fourth is to deal with
agriculture. Sc The several mem.
beers are to cooperate with each
other and with like members of the
boards of the other Southern States.
BY this concerted effort and by the
publication of documents setting
forth the real condition and prospects
of the South, all the objects of the
conference will, it is believed, be in
time achieved Undoubtedly the
meeting of the Governors will attract
attention to the desire Of the South
to secure immigration and capital
and will thus do good. Ii is 81 useful
sign of interest on the part of her

Northwest have long fully APP

Gen. RI. T. Beale, a representative
from this district a few years ago,
died at his home in Westmorelaud
County last Tuesday, of congestlve
chill, aged about seventy years. He
was a man of strong character and
high attainments. The honors which
fell to him were tributes to his ster-
ling integrity-he had none OF the
arts of the politician to commend
him TO public favor. Many men OF
greater ability have represented the
district, but in the purity of his life
he will compare favorably with any
of them. He had many friends on
the Eastern Shore.
