PULASKI, VA, March 24.-Special.-
The new method OF voting to be adopt
ed in Virginia after the LIST OF July. is
being freely discussed by our people and
the general opinion is that it will IN a
great measure correct the evils attending
the present system and which have been
made much more odious by reason OF
the candid and courageous criticism OF
the Times.

the subject two Of our ministers OF the
Gospel expressed their gratitude to the

service rendered. Mr.. A. H.. Jordan. a

FnIrnEIAL COMMENTS.

New York Sun: IL would be sheer folly
for Brazil to quarrel with Portugal be-
cause the Portuguese Government has
given an asylum aboard one Of its ships
TO the rebel leader. Admiral Da Cana.
Let Brazil enter a protest against the
act OF Portugal, if such a course be
thought necessary or serviceable; but,
after that. the incident had better be
brought to an end. Brazil is well rid Of
the naval traitor; and, though he may
have rendered himself liable 10 execution
for treason under Brazilian law, Brazil
has no cause for regret that she has
been saved the trouble OF shooting him.
IL is evident that the navy OF Brazil

utterly incompetent commander shall no
longer have control Of ii. Da Cana made
a laughing stock of himself from the
time he deserted his post till the day
he. fed his country and sought refuge
under a foreign flag. Our good friend
Minister Mendonca spoke OF him in a
letter to the Sun as a brave man; but
surely he has not shown any remarkable
bravery In this rebellion.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The Dailg Neaos
IN an editorial this morning summarizes
series of letters received from a corre-
spondent in Alsace-Lorraine, which
provinces the writer has visited after sew
eraI years. "rhe provinces" he says,
ARE not reconciled to Germany, and this
Is especially true of Lorraine, which re-
mains Catholic and French. There is no
liberty. as we understand the term.
The natives are permitted to observe
their own religion and use their own lam
guage under certain restrictions, but these
limitations include the presence of Ger
man detectives in the churches. What
STILES the feeling of discomfort in
Reichsland is the general passionate de-
sire for peace. The populace have a ter
rible object lesson before their eyes. Metz
is vast military camp, and Mulhouse an
immense barrack."
The situation in Strasburg is described
as truly awful. Thirteen forts" the
writer says, "have been built there since
the war, and the place seems like a mon
ster, whose iron jaws are distended in a
spasmodic grin of cannon reaching for
miles. The cost of food and lodging in
Strasburg has more than doubled since
the annexation of the province to Ger
many. Trade is persistentlv dull, the
civil population loses it's sense of impor-
tance and soldiers dominate the situa-
ton. The whole administration is vested
IN the form of martial law"

Terrible Charges Against the Buenos

BUENos AYREs, Sept. 27.-Letters re-

Rio Grande do Sul Brazil, contain horri-
ble accounts of cruelties, alleged to have
been perpetrated by the Government
troops, which are now in possession of
all the towns in that province.
Women and children have been as.
saulted and burned, the letters saw,
while persons who have been barely sus-
pected of aiding or even sympathizinp
with the revolters have been treated
with the utmost cruelty. These acts of
barbarity have aroused the most bitter
feelings against the soldiery, and if any
of them are caught by the numerous
guerrilla bands who are still.roaming over
the country they will be treated in .

A GOOD CEMENT
Very Valuable Article for Every
Home.

Every housekeeper, very early in her
married life, realizes the necessity of a
good cement that can be kept on hand to
repair the innumerable articles which
seem scarcely worth sending from home
to be mended. The various cements
usually bought for this purpose are in
clined to dry quickly, and are often USE
less when they are most needed. But by
keeping the necessary articles on hand
they will be ready for mixing when re-
quired.
good cement for mending almost
anything may be made by mixing to-
gether litharge and glycerine to the con-
sistency of thick cream or fresh putty.
1t is useful for mending stone jars or
any coarse earthenware, stopping leaks
in the seams of tin pans or wash boilers,
cracks and holes i'll iron kettles, etc. 1t
may also be used TO fasten on lamp tops,
or tighten loose nuts, to secure loose
bolts whose nuts are lost, to tighten
loose joints of wood or iron and in num-
berless ways.
In all cases the articles mended should
not be used until the cement has hard
ened, which will require from one day TO
q week, according to the quantity used.
This cement will resist the action of
water, hot or cold, acids and almost any
degree of heat, and the housewife will
not realize until the materials for making
it are kept convenient in how many ways
it will be found useful.

Capture of Captain Howgate, Who
Swindled the Government.

Capture of Captain Howgate, Who
Swindled the Government.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Captain Henry
Howgate, formerly Chief of the Weather
Bureau at Washington, was arrested in
this city to-day on the charges of forgery
and the embezzlement of $360,00O, COM
mitted in 1878 and 1879.
After having searched nearly the whole
country for Howgate, eX-Sheriff Drum
mond received information that the fugi-
tive was a dealer in old books and
pamphlets in New York. Every book
store was visited by detectives without
success. Finally an officer was detailed
to watch the auction sales for Howgate
To-day Detective Drummond met How
gate coming out OF a store on Fourth
avenue and Tenth street, and said: "How
are you, Captain Howgate?''
The latter started, but quickly regained
his composure and asked Mr.. IIrummond
what he wanted, and the detective told
him. he answered.: 'All right. the Jig
is up. / am Captain Howgate."
Seven indictments have been pending
against Howgate for years. The story OF
his exposure, and of his relations with a
woman named Nettie Burrill, caused a
great sensation at the time. For several
years he had led double domestic life in
Washington. But few squares away
from the home that contained his devoted
wife and the daughter who was to cling
to him so determinedly in the dark hours
to come, he supported woman in lux
urious style.
When first arrested, in 1882, the officers
remained in the sitting room while How
gate went upstairs for his bath. 1t is
said Miss Howgate, who possessed an ex-
quisite voice, sang to the guardians of
her father, and made the time pass so
pleasantly that an hour elapsed before
they awaken to proper realization
of what they were there Tor. They
asked Miss Howgate to call her father.
She was gone a long time, and then
came back pale and excited. She
could find her father nowhere, she
said. They searched the house, and then
rushed out and gave the alarm. Captain
Howgate by this time had two hours the
start of his pursuers. lie had escaped
by going out of the rear of the house
when he was supposed to go to the bath,
and was not found until to-day.

Corean Fanatics Who are the Enemies

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 27.-The Tong Haks,
powerful religious sect of Corean reb-
els, have attacked the Japanese troops at
Taiku, in Southern Corea. Reinforce
ments have been sent to the Japanese
from Seoul.
The Tong Haks constitute the most
powerful revolutionary element in Corea.
They ascribe the precarious condition of
the Corean trade and commerce to the
presence of foreigners. The Tong Haks
early in the year undertook to rid Corea
OF foreigners, and threatened the Jap
anese as we'll as the people of other ma
tions.
Last year the Tong Haks and Coreans,
numbering $4,000, threatened to march
on the Corean Capitsl and expel the for
eigners therefrom. The movement was
suppressed, but the feeling which existed
led to disturbances, which eventually
brought about the war between China
and Japan.
