INCUMBRANCE ON VIRGINIA FARMS.
We were astonished to see by a late
census report that but small fraction
over six per cent. of the farms of Vir-
ginia were subjected to incumbrance
by trust deed or judgment lien. From
this showing we cannot but think that
no other State in the Union is freer
from debt, if as free as the old Com
monwealth. This is pretty full an
swer to the many lamentations of the
calamity howlers on the destitute and
ruined condition of the people of Vir-
ginia, especially the farmers. In this
six per cent. is also included those in
cumbrances made by will to equalize
the shares of heirs and legatees.
The census also reports that of the
farms of the State about seventy per
cent. are occupied and farlned by their
owners. The balance are tenanted.
Of these tenants we know from obser-
walton that many of them are indus
trious, substantial and thrifty men,
who, in many cases, are enabled to
purchase their own farm after not an
unreasonable time.
Our farmers have, we know, seen
very hard and depressing times from
the difficulties of procuring reliable
labor, low price of products and other
causes. But to have their lands as
nearly free from membranes Is Q

distance thousands of wax candles and
swinging chandeliers shone out over the
high altar and family illumined the colossal
dome. AT about o'clock a wild shout was
heard from the multitude in the distance
outside. 1t was known that the pope had
left his apartments in the Vatican and was
descending by private passage into St
refers. The instant he entered a cry of
enthusiasm arose within at the bottom of
the dim church, which was taken UP by
the expectant multitude. Very slowly
borne high aloft by his guards the old man
moved up the middle aisle, seated on his
royal throne, robed ''in white samite, mys-
tic, wonderful" He wore the red slippers

Of Rome and assumed imperial attributes

From the moment Leo XIII entered until
he disappeared in the far distance, an al
most invisible speck at the high altar. and
the service commenced. the roar of en-
thusiasm never ceased rolling like thunder
throughout the building, while the wild
waving of scarfs and pocket handkerchiefs
was like the shattered trembling of a corn
field in a hail storm. The scene was re-
peated as the pope passed back again down
the aisle at the close of the service. He
re Sc majestically and bowed in blessing to
the right and to the left. 1t was a scene
fraught with singular spiritual and tenn
poral associations never to be forgotten.

plains a reception which certainly no other
potentate in the world could at present
command.

BAGGAGE SMASHING.
When Trunks Are Damaged Railways
Are Ready to Pay the Bill.


New York Letter to the Chicago Record.
It is not generally known that the trans
fer companies in New York. Chicago and
other cities expect to pay for the baggage
they smash, and this seems to be a season
able time to bring that fact to the attcn-
ton of the public. Every railway baggage
master is required to give the transfer
company a receipt for all the baggage he
receives, ard will not accept package IN
less 1t is in good order. The same rule Is
applied when the transfer company receives
baggage from the railroads, so that II q
trunk is delivered at its destination In a
damaged condition the blame can be traced
and laid where II belongs.
the New York Transfer Company, tells me
that they have to pay several thousand
dollars every year for damaged baggage,
and often are required to give indemnity
even for the loss of q strap. In order TO
secure themselves they carry an accident
insurance policy of $4,000, and this not
only covers damages to baggage, but acci-
dents to their wagons. or drivers or horses.
If one Of their wagons happens to run over
a child, or take the wheel Oft buggy, the
accident insurance company pays the bill.
Last year the total damage collected under
the insurance policy was about s.. 500 This

this pile, and then ooze back in little cas-
cades. Thus a surface of seventy of eighty
feet square up the back became brilliantly
luminous for several minutes.
Guided by the known diameter of the

THE MOSQUITO KING,

An Extremely Picturesque. n Not
Very Strong, New World Sovereign.
From the Philadelphia Record
The Mosquito king, whose territory has
been occupied by the Nicaraguans, is not a
very powerful sovereign, but he is an ex-
tremely picturesque figure. There is none
other like him.
His realm, a small slice of territory on the
Central American coast, is peopled with a
nsked race Of Indians and negroes, the ne.
gro blood predominating. In the old times
black slaves ran away from their Spanish
masters. They formed the nucleus of a set

Recently an American war vessel anchored

The Effect of Massage.

Recent experiments for determining the
effect Of massage upon the blood show that
1t increases the number Of red blood cor
puscles enormously. and also the hemo-
globin. though to q less extent. In some
cases there was an even greater increase In
the white blood corpuscles. DR.. 8. Weir
Mitchell suggests that the increase is due
10 the bringing into the general circulation
Of corpuscles which have been previously
accumulated in the smaller vessels OF the
larger vtscera. DIR. Reynolds suggests that
the increase may be only relative and due
to the withdrawal Of a portion Of the fluid
elements Of the blood into the tissues The
effects Of massage seem to be Identical with
those Of cold bathing and exercise.

Hut sergt. Daley Thinks some One
Must Have Warned Them.

Some months ago a verdict Of a Police
Court jury held John Shea guilty Of a sec
ono onense Of violation OF the liquor law,
ana he was sent to the workhouse, IN
aooiuon to being fined. That was not
9ohn's hrst offense as the charge and YER
oict snow, but for some reason President
Cleveland set aside the action of the court
ana granted pardon. This kind act was
recognized by the Shea family, and several
OF them showed their gratitude by attend
ing one or the White House receptions.
Mhhe John was in the workhouse there
was charge brought against his wife but
At.orney thomas decided that a married
woman could not be prosecuted, and the
charge was nolle pressed. Although John
was IN prison at the time, IL was stated
.i.si ne could be prosecuted. but. In the
nght OF the pardon, IL was probably thought
best not to present the case in court
But the action OF the President in that
cese did not have the effect of making Ser
geant Daley less vigilant. and he has since
suspected OF keeping speak -easies." A
few days ago he sent a man TO the Shea
house on Maryland avenue, and the result
OF his visit was the swearing out of a war
rant charging John with an offense SINH
lar to the one of which he was convicted
several months ago.
Then Sergeant Daley arranged to serve
the warrant and raid the place last even
me fdlu was mdQe, ana tne Omcere
who figured in IL are confident that some
one gave the Sheas notice of what they
might reasonably expect
1t was about O'Clock when the sergeant
and q dozen officers I'm citizens clothes
started in the direction Of the Shea resi-
dence. John Shea and one OF his sons were
enjoying a quiet smoke In front OF the
house. while Mrs. Maria Shea, his wife. and
her daughter Annie were in the house. The
officers went In and made a search Of the
premises. including the back yard and
shed. but nothing In the nature Of an intox-
icant was found.
Mrs. Shea enjoyed herself making re-
marks about the officers and insinuating
that they might help themselves TO what
was IN the house.
Don't let them steal my gold watch"
she called upstairs to her daughter. Then
she spoke of the safety OF her chickens.
and suggested that the clothes on the line
in the yard be watched. But her remarks
did not deter the officers in their efforts TO
find a supply OF intoxicants, for they con-
tinued the search until they became salts
fed that there was no liquor to find. In
the meanwhile the daughter. Annie, held a
revolver out the back window and told the
officers that it might accidentally go or,
but the weapon was not discharged.
John was arrested and taken to the
fourth precinct station, where he gave ball
for his release. The case will probably be
tried next week.
