A Correction Which Doesn't Correct
BURKEVILLE, VA, November I.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
believing you incapable Of wilfully mis-
representing facts, ask you as a gentle
man to correct the error in to-day's edi-
torial. CAPTAIN Cookies letter is dated
1893. II should be 1892. Give correction
prominent place IN your paper.
WILLIAM j. KERR.
1t is utterly immaterial when Mr..
Cooke wrote his resignation as a member
Of the Electoral Board of Cumberland
county. 1t matters not whether 1t was
in 1892 or 1s93-our point is that when he
resigned he showed no dissatisfaction with
the Anderson Nc Cormick law. and COM
mended his official associates In a most
1attering manner. He regretted parting
with them" Indeed. II the resignation
was dated in 1892 II makes our case all
the stronger-since IL embodied the I'M
prejudiced Judgment OF Mr.. Cooke, for
then the gubernatorlal bee had not come
buzzlng about his bonnet.
We took the date 1898 from the certi-
fled copy OF the resignation furnished us
by Mr.. Mann, who may have made a
mistake, but we are sure was guilty OF no
intentional misrepresentation.
Say what you please, II Mr.. Cooke be-
lleves in the Populistc Pronunciation OF

conversion to that opinion is of recent

q The State-Bank Tax.

We have little doubt that Mr.. Cleve-
land, like the Democratic National Con-
vention at Chicago. win recommend the
repeal OF the 10 per cent. tax upon the
circulating notes of State banks.
1t must be added that the public has
already been assured that both he and
his Secretary OF the Treasury will insist
upon Federal supervision over any State
bank system that may result from the
abolition of said tax.
This to the Atlanta Constitution. which
seems to think that the repeal of the II
per cent tax law will leave open the field
for State banks OF "an sorts and condi-
tons" The merits OF the existing ma

Railroads and Railroad Disasters


Elsewhere I'm this issue we publish an
article from the Philadelphia Press giving
n summary of the railroad accidents OF the
wear. and showing what fearful loss or
life there has been. In the list OF casu-
alties-in which no note Is taken OF any
but severe accidents-it is shown that
the railroads have SO far killed 225 and
wounded CIT persons, most Of whom were
passengers.
The name OF the Chesapeake ana Ohio
Company does not appear in the list at
all. The editor of the Press might have
ransacked the records of this company
for the past twenty-slx years and he
would have found but two accidents to
passenger trains involving loss OF life.
This ~ really phenomenal exhibit, con-
sIdering the length of the company's lines;
the business done; the fast trains run,
and the varying typographical features
OF the country traversed.
These facts need but to be stated TO
carry with them their own eloquent
tribute TO the excellence of the manage
ment OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Com
pany. That 1t is In q certain sense a
home company; that 1t Is always willing
and nnxious TO forward the interests Of
Richmond when It can do SO without In
Justice to any other community, and that
its ofieers arc among the most courteous
railroad people In the world makes 1t all
the more agreeable TO US to print a COM
parlson of its record with other compa-
MES.
The railroad passenger business OF this
country is rapidly growing. Last year
there were 6s0.s5S.2ll passengers trans.
ported, and OF these one in l.49l.sl0 was
killed, and one in each 1883 was injured.
The attractions at Chicago have made
this year memorable In railroad travel. and
Il has also been memorable in accidents.
We do not know how large the percent.
ages OF casualties win be when they are
mado out. but from the data at hand II
would seem that they will be larger than
those OF iss2.

The guipurc cape is very much of a

capes follow this rule, and have but
one full hounce.
Chicago's first day did not see many
magnificent toilets, for the rain
clouds and muddy walks forbade. Two
venturesomc damsels, however, care
less of the consequences, were clad in
fresh spring costumes, which the sun
peeped forth for little while to look
upon. Then he ruthlessly retired and
sent a terrible downpour of raindrops
to forever destroy their brightness.
One of them was made of pale green
crepon, finely plated from top to hot
tom. The skirt was banded with shell
RULINGS of black lace, put on in pairs,
each pair placed a considerable dis
tance from another. The waist was
plated like the skirt, and simply
banded by wide black velvet ribbon.
A fancy bit of passementerie ran un-
der the belt at the back, pointing up
the back as well as down, over the
skirt. Three plated rufiles formed
sleeves, and n small black bon en-
circled the throat
The second gown was made of wood
color crepon and of changing, diago-
nal silk, in shades of wood and hello

for the wide gailoon at it's edge. The
short jacket of the bodice, made of the
bright silk. did not reach to the waist

Some of the jacket fronts arc ex-
tremely small. Many of those on the
new gowns come scarcely to the bodice.
Some of them have an odd effect given
them by an upward curve, across the
bottom. The jacket front has come to
stay. 1t recommends itself. Over n
full front, there is nothing prettler
than the short jaunty coat effect. 1t
suits slim and full figure alike, another
reason for its great popularity.
