Wesleyan Female Institute.

From YOSt'S Weekly.
| This well known and popular educa-
tional institution will change principals
for the next scholastic session. Rev. W.
A. Harris, who has been the principal
for more than twenty years, having re-
signed to take charge of female school
at Roanoke, the Baltimore Conference
South, at it's recent session in Front
Royal, elected Prof. W. W, Robertson,
principal of the Staunton city public
schools, to succeed him. The Wesleyan
will be opened in September with full
faculty, and under the energetic and in
telligent direction of Prof. Robertson
will be even greater success than here
tofore. The Conference resolved to put
forth more than usual effort to enlarge
the sphere of usefulness of the Wesleyan,
and build up the most prosperous and
successful female college in the South.
Prof. Robertson is well qualified for the
work he has undertaken, being train
ed educator, full of life and energy, and
especially fond of educational work.
Prof. Harris will open his school at
Roanoke next fall, and we have no doubt
from past experience, will give satisfac-
ton to all who may patronize him.

A NEW HOTEL.

Next Monday will be commenced the
work OF demolishing the ramshackle
structures which Occupy the west side of
New street, south of Courthouse alley,
preparatory to the erection of a modern
four-story hotel on that excellent site, by
Mr.. B. f. Eakle.
The plans for the structure, which
were prepared by Collins & Hackett,
show that every arrangement has been
made for the comfort of guests, and that
the building, which will have frontage
of about IS feet each on New street and
Courthouse alley will be a model of con-
venience.
The work of construction will be push
as rapidly as possible, and it is expected
to have the building completed by the
first of August, and the hotel equipped
and in operation shortly after that time.

Death of Mrs. w. &. whitney.

Mrs. Whitney, wife of ex-Secrctary Of the
Navy Whitney, died in New York City. on
Feb. 5, of heart disease. She had been i'll for
some time, although no dangerous results were
feared. She was the daughter of ex-United
States Senator Henry b. Payne of Cleveland,
o., in which city she was born about 46 years
ago. She was married to Mr.. Whitney for q
years and he was at that time lawyer of very
little reputation. AT her marriage her father
gave her splendid mansion in New
York City, and upon the birth of her first
child, Henry Payne Whitney, her brother pre-
sented her with 100000 worth of the stocks
aud bonds of the corporations in which he was
interested. The inception of the social career
of the Whtneys began in 1879. and at once
Mrs. Whitney became leader in society. AS
!, hostess she carly secured reputation in the
city. and at Newport, where they had Sum-
mer home she was as popular as she was in the
metropolis. When her husband was tie Sccre-
tary of the Navy, during Cleyeland's Admin
istration, Mrs Whitney was the acknowledged
social leader of Washington With all her
reputation as a society leader she did not for
get the poor, and many of the lower class of
people had the honor of being her friends. She
leaves three childran, Henry Whitney, Pauline,
and Dorot hna

The Vesuyius's Trial.

The final test of the dynamite cruiser
Yesuyius, according to the view of her build
ers, the Cramps, is a perfect success. They
claim that the final test confirms all that they
have heretofore held regarding the effective
ness of the vessel and her guns. The firing
was done to test the accuracy of the guns at .
2000-yards range. Upon this tria! will depend
the future of vessels of the VesU Yius's class in
this country and abroad.
The first test was made about three years ago
by the Cramps, off Petty's Island. in the Della
ware River, with dummy cartridges and not
withstanding the fact that the guns were not
ranged the success of that experiment was, in
the minds of the Cramps, sure indication that
the guns would ultimately do all that was
claimed for them, and the work at Port Royal
bears out their predictions.

shipwrecked Sailors as CanuibaIs.

Three sailors Of the Norwegian ship Thekla.
from Philadelphia, were rescued by the Danish
bark Herman recently. According TO their
own statement their vessel foundered, and
four Of the men managed to construct raft
upon which they remained for many days,
enduring the pangs o: hunger. Their suffer
ings being great it determined to cast
lots as to whom should be killed. The lot fell
twice upon a Hdlander. and the three men
strangled him and eagerly devoured his flesh.
When they were rescued they related this and
at the instance of the Consul General CT Sweden
and Norway the men were arrested for murder
when they arrived safely at Hamburg.
Their case is not without precedent, the
Mate of a wrecked vessel having been tried
some years ago in England on the charge of
numbering cabin boy, whom the Mate, while
afoat in an open boat in the Indian ocean and
having been without food for several days,
killed and partly ate, thus saving his own life.
In that instance the accused went unpublished.

Senator Hill is maintaining that singular
attitude which lie assumed throughout the
campaign. Then he had no intercourse with
the managers of the CANVASS declining all re-
quests for conferences or meetings. He went
upon the stump as he said, not to help Cleye-
land, but because as party man it was essen
tjal He will not talk National politics since
election with anyone but Murphy or Sheehan.
lie has said only one thing that indicates any
purpose on his part, and that is that he shall
oppose the confirmation Of any man for office
who is not and has not been a Democrat i'll
good standing. His friends here are inclined
to think hat he would protest against the con-
firmation of Judge Gresham for a Cabinet
Office.
The suspicion is that he will cndeavor to
identify himself with some of the greater plans
for public improvement, and there are indca-
tions that he is making friends with powerful
business interests having learned from Mr..
Whitneys experience how available these in
fluences can be mado to one who has political
aspirations Whitney, he sees, without an
Office and peremptorily refusing office, is a
greaterlpower in politics than he is as Senator,

will precipitate the election of Judge Allen,

POLITICAL.
Doings of the Different Parties and
Their Representatives.

The Democratic National leaders have laid
big plans for gathering in the patronage Of the
State during the next month. Now they are
at the zenith of their power With the next
month the advent of the new Administration
means a weakening of theirapower to a certain
extent outside of New York City and in orde r
that their plans may not ,miscarry they are
rushing through their present scheme.
They propose to swell their patronage by
annexing city patronage. Charter bills have
been prepared for nearly every city in the State
that will turn over to the machine every bit OF
municipal patronage or else throw the cities in
the hands of the Republicans. The amount of
patronage to be secured thus is something
enormous and far moro than Offsets the Fed
eral patronage which is to be given to the anti
machine Democrats.
Cabinet making without consulting Mr..
Cleveland still goes on. From one who is in
close touch with the President.elect it is
whispered that there has come the statement
that Isadore Straus, of New York, will in all
probability be the next Postmaster General.
1t is understood that Mr.. Strause is considering
the offer. which was made last week. If this
information prove true, it would only make
stronger the growing belief that Mr.. Cleveland
intends to appoint none but thorough business
men to office.
1t is definitely stated among the elect in
Des Moines, Iowa. that Gov. Boies last week
refused the Secretaryship of Agriculture This
comes from a source so near the Governor that
it is not to be doubted All these statements
are on such high authority that it is queer how
often they prove false. In this case the Gov
ernor declined because of the ill-hoalth of his
daughter. Jessie, whom he contemplates taking
abroad besides this the Governor is very loyal
to the Iowa Democrats, from whom all his
political honors have come and he considers it
his duty to stand by them and help them capt
ure the Legislature next year, and subsequently
the United States Senatorshp, which would
without doubt place him in the upper House of
Congress.

There has been some revival Of talk during
the last few days about an extra session to be
called early in April to take up the considera-
tion of the tariff question. Little support is
found for 1T in New York, however. Most of
what it is has come as the result of suggestions
by members of Congress in business circles. But
some of tue politicians in the House, it is be-
Iicved, suppose that their own interests might
be greatly promoted if Congress was called in
extra session, and committees appointed within
few weeks after the inauguration.
But it is safe to say that the calling of an ex-
ira session is not yet seriously contemplated
unless it should be made necessary by the con-
dition of the Government finances. 1t is this
feeling which makes the President-elect and
his immediate followers put the silver question
to tile front, and invest it with no less impor-
lance than the tariff. Notwithstanding ire-
quent reference to 7" a deficiency" 40 appre-
hension is felt in business or political circles.

All hope Of settling the middle in tho House
at Topeka. Kan, has been abandoned, and the
two organizations have quieted down, stopped
quarreling, and agreed to divide the time on
the floor from now on to the close of the allot-
ted time, the Republicans meeting i'll the FORE
noon and the Populists in the afternoon. Should
the Supreme Court declare the laws of the
Populists to be void. and the Governor call an
extra session. the Populist House will come
back and 90 through the form of repassing the
same laws.
District Attorney Ady will probably not con-
test the Senatorial seat of Judge Martin. He
has given full charge of his case to the Repub-
lcan State Committee. In Ady refuses to
contest, Senator Perkins will try to hold the
seat on the ground that neither Martin nor
Ady received majority of all members of the
Senate and lower House from members holding
certificates.
