what he conceives is the motive which con.
troled the vote of business men in the late
election, as follows -
''In a word, the chief significance of the po-
litical revolution lies here;-that, while the
advent of the Democracy to power suggested
long series of radical changes IN matters af-
fecting the nature of the laws and the regula-
ton of our trade and finances, yet the truth is
that, whatever may have been urged in favor
of such policy, the people do not take kind
ly to the prospect of so much change and I'M
certainty as all this reforming" involves.
they are more concerned with the present than
the future; they want the shortest cut to re-
newal of prosperity; they prefer putting up
with some things of which they may not the
oretically approve to so much reconstructing
as the party now in power proposes; and tn ey
therefore say to the late discarded party
take the reins again; we have gwen you a
few lessons; and if you will take them to
heart, we are prepared to trust to your future
control rather than throw everything into
confusion by too much experimenting"
This, we take it, is about the meaning of the
business mans vote. The motive will COM
mend itself to the sound common sense of
the country; and, when supported by such an
immense majority of the people. it becomes a
very powerful contribution to future stability
and confidence.
As we read current sentiment, this is about
the Interpretation Wall Streets puts upon the
great event of Tuesday. The effects, from
this time forward, on investments and on
general confidence can hardly fail to be very
Important and we look for strengthening of
values that will later develop into more ac-
tive and rising market for stocks.

Pat Rooney"

Pat Rooney's merry farce company will
present at Staunton Opera House, Friday, No
vember 16, Mr.. CarrolPs laughing festival
Lord Roorey.' The company comprises
Matte, Josie and Master Pat Rooney, and sew
eral other well known New York favorites, all
of whom have won a deservedly prominent
place on the farce comedy stage. Lord
Rooney is one of the most successful come
dy attractions on the road. The dialogue in
Lord Rooney is said to possess more liter
airy merit than is usually found in farce come
dies. 1t is sparkingly witty, and without plot
or play would of itself be exceedingly enjoy
able. The story of the skit, though, is inter-
esting and well told. The incidents follow
each other with a rush, and there is ''go' to
the piece that is irresistible. The vivacity of
the play is really catching. The situations
are exceedingly ludicrous, and there is whirl
of fun accompanying the performance that is
refreshing.

LETTER FROM INDIANA.
REJOICING AT fuckers ELECTION.

AT ELECTION.
ALBANY, INDIANA, Nov. 9th 1894.
Editor Spectator:
Thinking that letter from ''Hoosierdom'
might be interesting to the many readers of
your excellent paper l venture to write this.
Through the kindness of my brother, D. M.
Smith, of Middlebrook, we received a pack
age of Staunton papers this week. How well
come the news from home! Staunton and
Middlebrook are places held dear in memory
by US. Middlebrook is my native town, and
although left it three years ago, 1 still con-
slider it home, and such it will ever be to me.
In February, 1892 I, with my father, moth
er, and brother came to this State. We settled
in Albany, pretty little city of fifteen hun
dred Inhabitants, situated twelve miles east of
the city of Muncie on the. Lake Erie and West
ern Railroad.
Albany is lively business town, having the
great advantages of abundance of natural gas,
and fine water.
There are eight foctories situated here, Civ
ing employment to over thousand hands.
The people here are Methodist in religion
and Republican in politics; that is, the major.
ity of them are. Since the election, we have
waited anxiously forsnews from our beloved
Virginia
Great was our joy, when we heard that Har
ry Tucker was reelected.
We have seen his name mentioned in high
ly complimentary terms by some of our West
ern papers, and we always feel like saying
amen"
can't vote, of course, being weak woman
but my heart is in the good work" as people
say, when they stay away from prayer meet
ing on rainy night.
Some people have horror of very long arti
cles in newspapers, so, perhaps, this is lone
enough
With regards to all my friends in Virginia
| and wishing success to the SPECTATOR I am

WILLIAMSBURG NOTES.

The Democrats are blue over the re-
suits of the recent elections. James
City county, however, is considered
safe for the future.
DR.. Hawkins, of James City county,
is moving into Williamsburg. Besides
being college physician, he will get a
good practice in the town.
The Walton election law worked
smoothly in Williamsburg.
The students of William and Mary
College have got down to hard work.
There is a good number, and they
promise we'll There are about fifteen
applicants for the teachers degree O..
L. and about six for the A. B. degree.
The college monthly is starting npon a
new era of prosperity.
The death of Dr. Henry Shield leaves
a vacancy in the corps of physicians
at the Eastern State Hospital. Several
of the Board are in favor of having a
female physician.
Mrs. Rebecca M. Smith and daugh-
ters reached home from Europe on Fri
day, Nov 9th They have been sorely
missed those six months.
The new model and practice school
connected with the college is making
an excellent start. The principal, Miss
Lucy l.. Davis, uses the object-lesson
system. Students of the Normal de-
partment visit the school regularly to
see the latest methods of primary in
strnctiou.
DR.. J. L. Hall, of the Faculty, recent
ly published a drama in blank verse,
which is making friends among
thoughtful and Intelligent people.
The Richmond Dispatch closes long
review of the book with these words
If the drama requires for it's perfec-
ton we'll constructed plot, scenes and
situations to the life, men and women
clearly drawn, poetic sentiments that
fill the imagination, we find here one
that deserves high praise"
The Protestant Episcopal Review
says: "There are many noble and fine
lines in the drama, and it is to be hop
ed that Mr.. Hall who is one of the
professors at William and Mary Col
lege, will find time to pursue his liter
airy labors and that we may hear fur
ther from him.
atears have praised the work of Prof.
Hall in the highest terms.
The college Y. M. c. A is thorough
ly organized, and is doing fine work.
The weekly Bible class is taught by
Prof. Bishop.
The football team will play match
games at Hampden Sidney and Nor
folk. No bones are broken here.

has been invited to address the college
chapter of St. Andrews Brotherhood
on st. Andrews Day. This order is
destined to do great good among the
students of the college, especially those
who attend Bruton Parish church
tEpiscopaD. No college in the State
throws more moral safeguards around
its students than does William and

attend Bible classes, devotional meet
ings. Y. M. G. A. services, chapel SER
vices, and choir meetings. Drinking
