A meeting of the hook and ladder COM
pany of Winchester on Friday night last
was called at the instance of Ex-Governor
Holiday, who wished to address the meet
ing. The ex-Govornor was received with
applause. and after few formal words he
stated that when the organization of the
hook and ladder company was first spoken
of he opposed it because of the present debt
resting on the city. Mr.. Charles B. Rouss,
of New York Winchester's benefactor and
friend, had heard that the company was
irving to raise sufficient funds with which
to buy an apparatus by private subscription
and again he has come to the rescue. Ex-
Governor Holiday then informed the COM
panv that Mr.. Rouss had instructed him to
formally present his draft for $1,000. The
donation was received and committee APP
pointed to draft suitable resolutions Of
thanks to Mr.. Rouss. A rising vote of
thanks was also given Ex-Governor Holli-
dav for the interest he had maifested in its
behalf The meeting was large one, con-
sidering only few hours notice had been
given. Mr.. Rouss has also sent his check
for 81 900 to the Shenandoah Valley Agri-
cultural Society. His generosity toward
Winchester for the past twenty years has
been unbounded. His donations will ag-
gregate nearly 100000

The editor of the Advocate may congrat-
ulatd himself upon his artful attempt to
divert attention, but not upon q successful
dodge. Ithaying been publicly stated upon
the streets-a good deal talked about, IN
deed-that Col. Clements scratched the
name of Mr.. Clevelrnd from the ballot he
cast in 1892, it was natural for us to inquire,
without intending to limit his hberality,
whether it was probable he would cheeriully
aid a man to get to the polls and do the very
thing he was unwilling to do himself. In
der the Democratic Executive Committee
rules the qualification Of voter at the psi-
mary election Of that year was that the vo-
ter had supported the Democratic State and
National tickets at the last election and ex-
pressed his intention Of supporting the
Democratic ticket at the then coming
election. That was the test Of loyalty
then. it is probably, now. We have
never said a word against Col. Clements
personally, nor do we propose to criticize
his political record unfairly. The editor Of

If the editor of the Advocate knows any
reason why we should have said anything
against him when he was NJ. of T., or If he
were in that position now, he will please
specify. If he knows now that Col. Glenn
ents did not scratch Mr.. Cleveland's name
from the ticket in 1892, or that he has no
expressed opposition to the reelection o
Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson to Congress, he has
opportunity to testify. IfCol. Clements was
at this time Master of Transportation O.

APraise,cOrtE.y Act.

We learn from the Sunday States Of New
Orleans that Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss,
a Marylander by birth, but subsequently In
business in Winchester, Va, and now alter
many Sicissitudes of fortune one Of the mer-
chant princes of New York, has, besides his
previous public benefactiOns to the South,
determined to establish competition for
Southern students of painting, which will
entille the winner to support for two years
at the art schools Of Paris, where he will be
able TO avail himself of frst-class instruc-
ton. Mr. Rouss has limited MS prize to
Southern students, and only to those who
are struggling for recognition, excluding
those Southern artists in France whose long
residence there has shown that material as
sistance is not necessary to them. lie has
also restricted the support to be awarded to
the term of two years, believing that within
that period the winner of the prize will be
able to develop, or fail to develop, whatever
talent there is in him, and his choice of
Southern students is made because Mr..
Chanler and other gentlemen of the North
have established art prizes to be commended
for by general competition to be decided
upon by committees of local artists and
teachers.
To avoid any charge of favoritism Mr..
Rouss has provided that the committee of
award shall consist of the United States
ambassador to France, with NJ. Carolus Du-
ran, the well-known painter and teacher,
and Prof. J. l.. Jerome, of the French School
of Fine Arts. 1t is to this choice commit
tee that the pictures sent in for competition
are to be transmitted, and by it the award
will be made. 1t is thoughtful act on The
part Of Mr.. Rouss, and is another recogni-
ton of his affection for the South and OF
the friends and comrades with whom he
fought during our civil war.
But Mr.. Rouss is not the only Marylander
who has thus done honor to his native State.
1t was to Mr.. Walters that Rinehart owed
the means which enabled him to pursue his
studies as a sculptor in Rome, and to Mr.
John w. Mccoy that Hovenden was able
to go abroad to complete his art education,
where both these young men Of genius pro-
duced those works that have made them IA

Southern students, carrying with it the ma

Judge d. b. Lucas has been searching
the Congressional Record to fud proofs that
Hon. johnson y Camden is a Protec,ionist,
aud among the numerous paragraphs Of a
column-and-a-halfa article we make the fol-
lowing extract
"Mr. Camden's fortune, as q millionaire,
was largely invested in coal and OIL. Hence
in voting for protected coal, be was voting
directly for bis own interest, and directly
against the interest of q majority Of his con-
stituents."
Isn't Judge Lucas in favor Of tariff on
cosls Hasn't he an interest in coal lands .
None of Mr.. ROusss numerous benetsc-
tions has seemed TO US more worthy Of COM
mendation than his recent institution Of a
competitive prize for American students in
Paris-designed to stimulate effort on the
part Of such students. and to help some de-
serving aud talented young man in the
struggle for success and fame by giving him
support and the best instruction for two
years. This set Of generosity Is proof OF
Mr.. Rouss's interest in the development Of
the higher aspirations Of Southern young
men and Of taste and culture among the
people who are nearest his heart There Is
pathos in such a ministry to the love Of the
beautiful by one whose enjoyment things
Of beauty is said to be imperiled by q grad
ual failure Of sight.

he has not seen Mr.. Wilson since the Sem
ate passed the tariff bill that he has not as
vet appeared before the conference and that
he has never at any time had a controversy

OUR EGG PRoDUCT.-The census man
took hold of the poultry industry in
1890 and produced some remarkable
figures. There were 25S, 472, 155 "chick-
ems" and 26,S16,545 other poultry,
against lO2, 265, 1858 chickens" in 1880.
Missouri leads with 22,7s5, s4s head,
with Illinois next with 21,463, 525.
Then came Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas
in the order named. Ten years ago
Missouri was first, with Ohio second.
1t is estimated that in 1890 sl7,2l1, 146
dozen of eggs were produced in this
country. In this respect Ohio led,
with Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsyl-
vania and New York following in the
order named. 1t will thus be seen that
the west is far ahead of the east as re-
CARDS the poultry business. But, as
with cattle, large portion of the pro-
duction Of the western poultry trade is
given up to the production of meat
rather than eggs. The development
OF the "egg machine" hen is largely
an eastern enterprise, and in keeping
with the spirit that would leave beef
making to the west and develop fancy
dairying instead. Look at it as you
will, however, the poultry business is
now a great thing, and is sure to be
still further increased.

Pres IN THE FALL.-Fall pigs should
be given warm pens and clean nests
and at the same time they must take
exercise every day. 1t may even be
necessary to roust them out of their
beds, especially if the weather is cold,
in order to make them take exercise
enough to keep healthy. A pig loves
a warm bed, and the more they lie in
it the less inclined they will be to
leave it, and they will get so that they
will refuse to come out and eat. But
with little care at the start to keep
them vigorous this may readily be
avoided. The aim in feeding IS to
keep the pigs thrifty rather than fat,
maintaining a steady growth every
day, and in the winter more than ordi-
mary care is necessary. If they can be
kept growing rapidly during the winter
fall pigs can usually be made profit
able, but otherwise they will prove a
loss. At this season they are often so
stunted at weaving that they never
fully recoVer.-Cor. St Louis Republic.

Tor her the more she is liable to do for

they get fat instead of giving good

bull Of the sort you fancy. If you
like Holstein best get one of that sort.
The male calves from them may be of
some value to raise for beef. But most
dairymen prefer the Jersey. She un-
doubtedly will make the most butter
out OF her feed, and for that reason
