A Change of Uniform.

The military board OF Virginia, of
which Governor O'Ferrall is a member,
after lengthy discussion of the SUBJ
ject, decided to order that the uniform
of the Virginia volunteers be changed
and that the service Tor fatigue) uni
forms now in use in the United States
Army be adopted in their stead. The
Virginia button, however, will be re-
tanned. This uniform consists of a
dark blue blouse and lighter blue
trousers, blue cap, with the insignia
of the army thereon. The main motive
for this action is one of economy, as
these uniforms can be drawn direct
from the government so far as the
limited fund will allow The order
which the Governor will issue relative
to this change of uniform will provide
for the adoption of distinctive. full
dress uniforms by regiments or bat
talions, subject to the approval Of the
commandments The uniform of
the Governors staff has been ordered
changed also, to conform to the uni
forms of the troops. The gray dress
coats will be abandoned and the staff
will appear hereafter in full dress uni
forms identically similar to those worn
by the officers of similar rank in the
United States Army.

Cant. A. e.. BabcOck.

Capt. A. G.. Babcock, of Richmond,
who died last week was the founder of
the Masonic Home near Richmond for
the benefit of the orphans of Masons
He was a philanthopic man of wealth,
and among his numerous requests he
bequeathed $4,000 to the Masonic
Home for general use and 100 shares of
the stock of the State Bank of Virginia
for the endowment fund of the Home.
Capt. Lang T. Christian, who con
Quoted the funeral of Captain Babcock
so admirably, says it was one of the
largest and most imposing ceremonials
that he ever witnessed over private
citizen in Virginia. The deceased was
warm personal friend of Captain
Christian, and it was with peculiar
and tender interest that the latter full
filled toward him the solemn vocation
of funeral director

Advice to Sam Jones.

The Nashville Banner, editorially,
tenders this advice to the Rev. Sam
Jones
Sam Jones has followed in the foot
steps of the money making Talmage,
and has gone into the syndicate bust
ness. He is now writing copyrighted
letters for the press on general subjects.
These letters, it is presumed, are given
a value because of the fame of Mr..
Jones as an evangelist, but in truth
Sans letters are lacking in some of the
qualities which have made his sermons
unique and entertaining.
Mr.. Jones is genius in his way, and
in his way he is past imitation, but his
syndicate letters do not manifest his
genius. The most notable of his re-
cent letters vas that in which he defied
the bishops of his church and announc-
ed his independence of them, but it
would have been better, perhaps, if he
had not written that letter. We may
not know a great deal about it, but
we think that if Mr.. Jones believes he
is called to continue preaching for the
saving of souls, he should devote him
self to that work and let the letter
syndicate business severely alone"

MEMORIES OF THE War.
The Horrors Of Libby Prison Revived.
An Event Which Will Surprise Even Old
Soldiers.
The Most Wonderful Experience of the
Army Ever Recorded.

We never tire of hearing of the thrill
ing adventures of the war and the won
derful escapes from Libby Prison. The
recent removal of this famous Jail to
Chicago renders any facts about it at
this time particularly inter sting.
A most fascinating story has just
come to us of man who passed five
months of agony in this prison. The
experiences of this person during aud
since the war are the most remarkable
that have ever been brought to public
notice. This man is none other than
the well-known Mr.. L. W. Porter, of
West Berlin, vt. lie writes the follow
ing interesting letter:
"Since my return from the war my
health has been growing poorer from
exposure and hard service aud the iior-
rors of five months Imprisonment in

during which time did no work at all,

If Free Hides, Why not Free wools

There are two kinds of raw material
which touch more closely the comfort
of the masses than all others. They
are both necessities, and no man, wo-
man or child can get along without
them. These two materials are wool
and hides Wool is a universal neces-
sity for clothing, hides for boots and
shoes.
The democratic party, seconded by
many of the largest and most lnteill-
gent wooden manufacturers, has long
contended for the justice and expedi-
ency of free wool, and the Wilson bill
places this staple on the free list. The
republican party insists on retaining
the present high duties on an article
of universal necessity, of which we i'm
port more in the manufactured state
than of any other single article for
which we are taxed. In the year 1892
American consumers paid 1914, DOC, 900 IN
tariff taxes on $50, 900, 900 worth OF
of wooden cIothing-a tax of very near
ly 100 per cent. on the value OF one OF
the absolute neeeSsaries OF life. -
Hides are already on the free list.
They were placed there in 1879, amid
an awful uproar raised by the republi
cans, who declared that our leather in
dustries would be ruined by free hides.
But they were not ruined. On the
contrary, the manufacture of leather
has been enjoying larger prosperity
ever since, and all the leather manu-
facturers were up in arms in 1890, when
Mr.. Mckinley made an attempt to re-
place the duty on hides. Why, then,
should the same thing not prove true
of wool if it is placed on the free list
We have no doubt that it would

Took Her Own Life.

Miss Lizzie Newhouse, beautiful
and accomplished young lady, only
seventeen years of age, daughter OF
Mr.. A. NJ. Newhousc, (who was deputy
internal revenue collector under Cleve-
lands first administrator residing at
Rixeyville, about seven miles from Gull
pepper, committed suicide late Monday
afternoon by shooting herself in the
head with a revolver. When found
she was cold and stiff, having been
dead for several hours. Miss New
house was engaged to A. T. Hill,
nephew of Gen. A. P. Hill. From some
cause she discarded him. The Tilted
young man took her at her word, went
to st. Louis, where, having forgotten
his former love, he married another
woman. Miss Newhouse left a letter
in which she states she regretted hel
action and that the marriage of Hill sc
depressed her that she concluded to
end her life and hopes. The young
lady was we'll known and very popular
at Culpeper, and the sad affair has
caused great sensation and cast
gloom over the entire community.

COMMERCIAL And FINAN CIAL
THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs. &C

The Cincinnati Price Current of January
18th says =
There has been some rainfall in the West
the past week, and in some localities where
the need of moisture was considerably urgent
there has been a fair degree of relief, but there
is still large area west of the Mississippi
where moisture is needed. As a whole the
general position of the growing wheat crop is
maintained.
In reference to the movement of grain there
is no positive evidence of important change.
Good roads have favored the disposition of
produce. Should there be decided change
in this particular there would be some check
in the marketings of grain. So far as wheat
is concerned the movement is now relatively
light, while corn has been marketed freely of
late, but quite likely may show some diminu-
ton in the near future.
The grain markets have lost their previous
brief buoyancy, closing lower than week ago,
with the quotation for the current month de-
livery below 60 cents. The wheat prophecy
professional is pretty well killed off.
In another article the Price Current treats in
reaching the conclusion that the 1893 crop
must be recognized as fully 450,OO00O0 BUSH
els, and that the recent wheat crop estimate of
the Government Bureau is the most faulty of
all the reports coming from that source. tits
shown that credible evidence concerning pro-
duction in nine States, which are recognized
as representing slightly less than half the
crop, points to an actual output of $1,000, 900
in these States in excess of the Government
estimate for them.
May wheat at Chicago closed dc below
the highest point of the week, above the
lowest point, and &c lower than week ago.
Corn at Chicago for May closed &c be.
low the highest point of the week, &c above the
lowest point, and &c lower than a week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets were l.
91S, 900 bushels for the week. against 2,043, 900
the preceding week, and 1886, 900 last year.
Corn receipts were 1904 900 bushels, against
4,02S,o0O the preceding week. and 100000
last year."

A WHEELING SENSATION.
A PROMINENT CITIZEN OF wETZEL
COUNTY ARRESTED ON A SERI-
GUS CHARGE.

GUS CHARGE.
WHEELING, w. VA. Jan. 17.-At
noon to day Chief of Police R. 7. Nc
Nichol, arrested Benz Earnshaw, late
president of the County Court of Wet
zei County, in the brokerage office Of
Simpson " Hazlett while he was en-
deavoring to sell S., 400 worth of orders,
alleged to be forged, upon the county
treasury of Wetzel county.
Earnshaw came to this city last Sat-
urday with the orders, which ranged
in amount from $3.50 to 81, 500, and at
Dollar Savings Bank, representing
himself, it is charged, as W. F. Pruden,
in whose favor the orders were drawn.
Cashier Dobbins refused to cash them,
but directed him to number of deal
ers in such paper.
On Monday Earnshaw came back and
said he had failed to negotiate the sale
of the paper and wanted to borrow
money on them, but Mr.. Dobbins de-
clined. Earnshaw then called on other
bankers with the same result and final
ly on Simpson & Hazlett, and they
agreed to buy an order of 1000 if it
was all right and told him (Earnshaw)
to call at noon to day. They then
wrote to Newmartinsville and found
Earnshaw's representations were false
and that the orders were forged. Coun-
ty Clerk H. r. Thompson, of Wetzel,
came up to the city this morning and
was at Simpson & Hazlett's with Chief
McNichol when Earnshaw came in. In
their hearing Earnshaw, it is charged,
said he was Pruden, that the orders
were good and that the Endorsement
was his, and then they swooped down
upon him. Earhshaw grabbed the
81 900 order and tried to chew it up,
but Chief McNichol choked him until
he spat it out. He was then locked
up. Earnshaw comes of good fami-
ly, and has been very prominent in
Wetzel county politics.

SOUTHERN DIRECT TRADE WITH En-
RoPE.-CharlestO1, s. c., Jan. 16.-The
first movement in the way of direct
trade with Europe from the West
through Charleston was made to day.
A consignment of 1000 sacks of flour
has been booked from the Liberty Mills,
of Nashville, Tenn, via Charleston, on
the steamship Bosshire, now loading
here for Liverpool. This shipment is
thought to be the beginning of a move
ment which will lead to the establish
ment of direct trade. The great in
crease of the depth of water on the bar
by means of the jettles. which are now
rapidly approaching completion, per-
mits ships of heavy draught of water
to enter the port. Steamships carry
ing nearly 10000 bales of cotton have
loaded here and crossed the bar safely
this season. 1t is expected that depth
of 25 feet will soon be attained by means
of the jettles.

Give Us Prompt Action.

There is good deal of gaiety In
Congress over the Tariff bill, but the
people outside of Congress are not en-
ioying it. They are awaiting anxious
" the fulfillment of the promises made
at Chicago for the enactment of a
measure to collect a customs tariff for
revenue only, The Wilson bill is now
the representative Of that promise, but
it is dragging it's weary length along
when it should go along without any
friction whatever. If it needs amend
ment, and it undoubtedly does, why
amend it and let it go through.
If, as Mr.. Cochran and Mr.. Springer
say, the looms and furnaces, the mills
and all manufactures are but waiting
for this bill to become law, to spring
into activity, why it should by all
means be facilitated and not OBJ
structed. Amend it and pass it. That
is the true course for the Democratic
party. There is none other Dallying
is to invite danger. If the policy of
Democracy is true and our leaders are
capable of expressing it in law, and if
this bill is that expression, let us have
it and make the test That is the part
of honest statesmanship.-NoqJolk
