A MALIGNANT SUGGESTION

The Chicago InterOcean Of day or
two back contained the following editorial
article:
The Southern Society of New York is
in danger Of disintegration because the
widow of General Custer was invited 10
attend a reception given by the society
in honor Of the widow Of General Pickett
who led the charge Of the Confederates
at Gettysburg. The eX-COnfederates who
are now living in New York and Orga-
nized this society are disposed TO frater-
niZe with certain classes Of those who
wore the blue, but they draw the line
at men like Custer, who in his fighting
had an impetuOsity and recklessness
regarding the enemy that indicated that
he was in earnest and meant to hurt the
feelings of Southern men. They. there
fore regard the honor 10 the widow Of
General Custer as an outrage on Southern
sentiment" 1t il understood that Sitting
Bull and some Of his Sioux friends held
similar sentiments toward Custer, and
Sitting Bull, had he lived, would have
undoubtedly joined the ex-Confederates
in their resentment against Mrs. Custer
for Sitting Bull also had reason to look
upon General Custer as a man who fought
IL earnest
We wonder If the writer of this screed
is fool enough really to believe what he
says? Does he really believe that South
ern people dislike those Yankees who
fought them earnestly and courageously?
If he does, he knows no more Of the real
sentiment of the Southern people than
he knows of the diet Of the inhabitants Of
the planet Mars. Know you, Mr.. Inter
Ocean. that the Southern people despise
the Yankee sneaks who lodged while the
war lasted, but who have made great
clamor about it since it was over land we
half suspect you to be one of them, but
they have the sincerest and kindliest
feelings for all genuine Union soldiers
who did their duty during the war. like
men. We think we can safely say that
General Hancock than whom the Union
had no harder fighter. was actually loved
by the people of the South.

PROFESSOR rYRRELL's LECTURE.
An Interesting Discourse on "Lucretius
and Epicurcanism."

owing TO the inclement weather only
q moderate sized crowd were in attend
ance AT Richmond College last evening
to hear Professor Robert Tyrrel. Of Dub
lin University, lecture on "Lucretius and
Epicureanism. -,
Professor Winston, in very gracei I'll
sDeech. introduced the speaker or the
evening whose power as a lecturer Is
well known in Europe and America.
Professor Tyrrel is clear, f0rcible ana
altogether interesting as speaker. MS
slight Irish brOsue adds peculiar pun
gency 10 his delivery. He began MS lee
ture with a brief explanation OF Eplcu-
reanism. and what il leads 10. IN ms
criticisms on the enthusiasm OF Lucreli"s
as writer he spoke of the poets az
tempts To blast the hopes OF those VINO
believed i'm the gods of the age, sketched
the religious beliefs and customs Of the
Romans during the time Of the writer,
and dwelt at some length upon the third
book of DE Rerum Natura" where the
great materialist leads the reader into
the shadow OF death. other Epicureans,
said the speaker. pass over the subject
Of death. and picture it as state TO be
avoided. but Lucretius fingers on the
subject, and bids no man shrink from
death. for all things are the same
Iucretius was not a fatalist. He recog-
nized a force which he declared to be
torn from the grasp Of necessity.
Professor TyrreH spoke an hour and a
quarter. and was listened to with the
closest attention by the cultured people
in attendance. He viii lecture tonight at
the same place and hour on "Catullus and
the Transition to the Augustan Age"

CAPE CHARLES, VA, April 3.-Spe-

THE PRESIDENTS VIRGINIA AD-
NISERS.

The first volume OF Talleyrands long
suppressed. but most delightful, memoirs
is one Of the finest pieces of literature in
any language. Defining the causes that
led to the Revolution, he says:
IF we were to take into consideration
only the results OF the Revolution. we
should soon fall into error. and end by
mistaking NJ. de Malhesherl,es for Mira
beau, and Nj. de la Rochefoucald for
Robespierre."
One who is saturated with French liter
ature sees instantly the force and beauty
OF the illustration. 1t cannot be made
plain 10 one who is not. But IT is as fine
an instance as can be found OF mlstaking
the simulacrum for the reality.
On several occasions we had pointed
out the risk Mr.. Cleveland may run, II he
refuses attention TO the authorized spokes-
men of localities and gives his ear to
individuals whom he thinks he has reason
TO know TO be really representative men.
We know nothing OF how he is being
misled elsewhere, but we have reason to
believe that he is away off the track in
believe he has got hold of some Virginia
shadows that he thinks are Virginia's
substance; but no man was ever further
misled. and, If he don't cease following
his shadows and come back into line with
those whom the people of Virginia send
to Washington to represent them, he is
going to do some things that will disap-
point his friends and amuse his enemies
down here.
Virgnia's representatives may have
misled him during his first administration
though we can recall no instance in which
it seems probable. But her present rep
resentation is most creditable one. and
one that really voices the feelings and
impulses Of her people, and he will make
no mistake in following their advice in
making his appointments for this State.
He will make an egregious error, though,
in following the counsel of irresponsible
pelple from Virginia, in disregard Of what
our representatives, say.
Mr. Cleveland is a very sincere, a very
honest, and a very patriotic man, who
wants to do right But his frankness and
candor are the very qualities that make
him liable to be imposed upon. He has
no doubt been misled by trusting to the
repre- sensations of selfish politicians But
we are bound TO tell him that he will
come nearer doing what the people Of
Virginia want if he heeds the voice Of
our representatives than If he listens TO
those who do not represent US in any
sense.

are several points to keep in
mind when choosing. It should be
economical in the use Of ice; easily

sonabIe in price.
The NORTH STAR best meets
the requirements, else it couldn't
have become popular so quickly.
Within a very few years the de-
mand for it has come to tax the ca
pacity of the biggest refrigerator
factory in the world, the makers
say. We sold it last year with the
greatest satisfaction to all concern
ed. and the first carload for 1898 IS

OF fifteen points of superiority
claimed for The North Star we
quote one from the manufacturers

Construction Of Walls.-After long
series of experiments with all the
different filings and combinations. we
find that by far the best results are
obtaircd from IA combination OF dead
air space and granulated cork for in
sulation. as It has all the advantages
and none Of the Disadvantages OF

reason that cork is superior as nom

will a h
serb water or moisture. as mineral
wool and charcoal will DO. The walls
Of the North Star in the future will
be constructed as follows:
First. The outside case.
Second Dead air space.
Third. A lining Of non-cOnducting
sheathins.
Fourth. A wall OF graduated cork.
Fifth. lining of non-conducting
sheathine.
Sixth A wall OF matched lumber.
Seventh A wall OF galvanized steel
and zinc.
The non-cOnducting sheathing as above
exterds under the posts, which hold
It firmly in place, and make an abb
solutely air-tight joint. II is only
after long consideration, and cOnvinc-
ing ourselves beyond any possible
doubt by actual tests that the above
makes a refrigerator superior 10 any
ever offered TO the trade. that we
have decided to adopt 1t for our re-
frigerators
The North Star costs SII.76 to
S4S for size and elaborateneSs of
finish. The cases are all of hard
wood, kiln-dried, and so Substan-
tally built that warplng or loosen
ing of joints is an unknown evil.
We believe them the best refrige-
rator on the market to-day.
For those wishing cheaper re-
frigerator we have the "ldeal," a
most excellent thing. The cases are
of soft woods highly polished. SO

The Sunday edition OF The Times was
exhausted Sunday morning before s
o'clock, caused by the heavy demand OF
newsboys and newsdealers. SO great has
become the demand for both the daily

curing carriers. newsboys and news
dealers to send in their orders the day
previous. Notwithstanding this and the
fact that there was large issue of extra
papers on Sunday the entire edition ran
out in a few hours after printing, and
many persons were thereby disappointed
in getting a paper. The only way to be
sure Of getting The Times is 10 take it
