Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con-

This is the proudest moment OF my
life. / would rather stand here. wearing
the badge Of honor which you have placed
upon me- than TO be clothed with royal
purple or to be the crowned ruler of
a kingdom. To be the Governor Of any
State In this Union OF States is distinc-
ton which the highest OF earth might we'll
envy but TO be Governor or Virginia is,
in my estimation, the greatest honor
which can be bestowed by the voice or
the people, except that Of President OF
the American republic. Would that 1
could, in fitting language. express to my
friends what my heart feels.
They have conducted this canvass upon
a high anil lofty TlGne, and have not
stopped TO promote my cause by any
unfair means; they have never en-
deavored TO raise me up by dragging
down either one OF my worthy COM
petitors All through the days which
kind Providence may let me live, Will
hear Them in most grateful remembrance;

PREJUDICED TALK

''I have heard more poppycock, fancy

It's now about time to get down to a
calm business reasoning of this matter.
The assessments were wrongly made,
which has been SO decided time and time
again by the courts, hence the tax is
illegal and California cannot collect a cent.
But to avoid further litigation and bring
the matter to a satisfactory conclusion,
the Southern Pacific has voluntarily made
this offer of nearly two millions of dollars:

Mr.. Duckworth, who has been confined
to his room for several days with a severe
cold and throat affections, said he felt
physically unable to discuss the matter
under consideration as he would like to.
4 few days ago the Assembly, on the
suggestion of the gentleman from Shasta,
decided to accept and pass, without any
question as to their merits, certain very
important measures, on the ground that
they emanated from the Senate of Cali
fornia," said Mr.. Duck worth. "It was
agreed that that distinguished body,
which contains ali that is wise and pro-
found in the science of legislation, would
not under any circumstances saction any
proposed law unless it were meritorious,
constitutional and in response to the

AIady, who has for some years been
interested in the work at ST. Marks Epis-
copal Church on Jersey avenue, has pre-
sented aslarge and beautiful picture to be
hung in the Baptistery. The painting,
which is eight feet by six feet, has quite

relative, a clergyman. travelling in South
America, came. across this picture, which
had been painted for an altar piece. He
purchased it and brought it to New York:
The subject is the Archangel Raphael
leading the young Tobias.
IL is we'll known that a large number or
Murillo's earlier works were sent to the
Spanish Colonies in South America. This

that MuriIlo painted the faces, and that
the figures, finished by a pupil. were cor

Woman,s wis.


The other day, says a correspondent
from Alsace, while l was on my way
from M. to T., I found myself in COM
pany with four gentlemen, each of whom
Yves smoking. The train stopped at an
intermediate station, and o lady was on
the point Of entering it. Being nearest
the carriage door, and observing that she
carried a basket, I FASTENED to help her
in with it. iTake care" said the lady,
81 have six pounds Of dynamite in that
basket, which I am taking to my hus-
band in a stone quarry" The train then
sped on. Quick as lightning the gentle
men exchanged glances and threw their
cigars out of the window. All looked
horror stricken as they glanced first at
the frau and then at the basket.
My thoughts conjured up visions of
the destruction of the Cafe Very in Par
is. My nominations were suddenly dis
turbed by a shout Of sStation Or yelled
out by a porter. The frau $ slowly
from her seat and stepped out upon the
platform. A sigh of relief Game from us
all. s"Thank heaveni" said. one. ] trem-
bled as I handed out tao basket, with its
dangerous contents. s'Thanks!" saidt the
woman. Thanks! You need not look
SO scared. There are only some dainty
morsels of food inside for my husband,
but your smoke was SO vile"

"Don't you know by this time that for
me all art, all knowledge, all philosophy
is bound up in a single word-you-who
are love and philosophy and all art and
beauty incarnate?'
There was a tremulous silence for a few
minutes. Only Venus and l heard the
deep, quick breaths coming from the hud-
died little figure concealed behind a pill
lar. The Boy and the fair girl passed
out, she leaning Oh his arm and looking
half roguish1y, half tenderly up to him.
1t was then that I looked around for
the little gray student. She seemed
stunned. After a minute she pushed
back her easel, rose to her feet and came
forward, cropping with her hands in a
blind, bewildered fashion, then fell prone
at the foot Of the Venus. And the sun
shine fickered lovingly down on the
shabby, gray linsy and the rich mosaics
on the floor.
Sone one came in a few hours later
and carried her away gently. She has
never returned.
No, I don't blame the boy. 1t wasn't
anybody's fault in particular. He was
kind to her because he couldn't help it;
he was as sympathetic as the tenderest
woman, and much too good and simple
souled to play with her feelings. 1t was
just one of those cases where nobody
knew"
