from the heat and turmoil of political
strife 10 a consideration of the following
interesting communication
providence. X. l., March 20, 1894.
To The EDITOR or THE NEWS;
SIR-Some seven or eight months ago
we bought a book of The NEWS Con-
PANY, promising TO take THE NEWS six
months, and ms the time has expired
my husband wished 70 stop taking it. as
it is hard times. But | want it SO badly
1 venture to send you some of my poor
little verses, begging you TO find little
corner for them somewhere III The
News. hoping by sending more, now
and then TO secure your dear NEWS
for / do not like to part with it. My
father is editor of----lnd / often write
for 1t. IL you will be so kind rs to print
these verses and so continue The NEWS.
Please send it by mail
Apparently the proposition above con-
tanned is very simple one to act upon
without any comment. All THE News
h7s TO do is TO print the verses and pay
for them by mailing so many copies to
the writer at ONE CENT a copy-or mail
the verses to the writer and not send
the paper.
But the letter arouses further refec.
tions and just at this time, when the
SIN Ike of political war is thick enough
to make one sneeze, il is not unpleasant
to'step out from the midst of the fight
and doa little rejecting about some
thing else.
Here is a gentle reader of THE News
who, induced to take it for a period by
the alluring enterprise Of a previous
management OF this newspaper, now
finds it is become well nigh indispens-
able. At the same time Democratic
administration is in power, times are
hard and extraordinary economy must be
exercised. The action of the present
management of The NEWS in the pre-
misses is perfectly clear A
copy is sent to the writer regularly
every evening and a bill will never be
sent nor Will popular subscription be
opened to provide her her favorite news
paper, although SO worthy a case might
indeed command the attention of the
City Missionary Society or the Irrepres-
sibles. The price of THE News is ONE
CENT, and as has been heretofore
announced in these columns if there is
anybody in The world who can't get along
comfortably without The News and
who HASN'T the one cent, such an one
may have a copy free of charge.
This view of the situation Is all quite
INDEPENDENT Of the verses offered in ex-
change, and purposely SO taken since
everybody cannot write verses. Besides
there are verses and verses, some are of
a character that The NEws would
rather the writer should have half its
edition free of cost than they should
ever have been written. The particular
verses accompanying the correspondence
quoted above are. however, worth
printing and will be printed
The News sincerely trusts that the
evening copy which goes to Mrs. -.
will be ever as welcome as it seems to be
now, and it believes that tomorrow's
Republican victory, with others to fol-
low all over the country, will shortly re-
suit in condition of things that will
relieve her from the necessity of depend
ing upon the whim of her muse for her
favorite newspaper.

Death of Col. Jas. II. Burton.

WINCHESTER, VA, Oct lS-Col. James
Henry Burton, one of the most prominent
citizens of this section, died at his home here
this evening after brief illness of pneu-
monia, having been sick less than week.
Col. Burton was born of English parents
August II, 1923, at Shannondale Springs,
Jefferson county. After receiving an edu-
cation at the Westchester Academy, Penn
sylyauia, he entered, at the age of sixteen
years, machine shop in Baltimore to learn
the business Of practical machinisi, and
graduated therefrom four years later
In 1874 he took employment in the rifle
works of the United States armory at Har-
per's Ferry, and was appointed foreman in
1915. He afterward received the appoint
mett of master armorer, which he held I'M
til 1854. In 1855 he accepted the appoint
ment of chief engineer Of the Royal small
arms factory at Enfield, near London, Eng
land Five years afterward he returned to
Virginia, in consequence of failing health.
In June, 1861, Mr. Burton was commissioned
lieutenant colonel in the ordinance depart
ment of Virginia by Gov. John Letcher
and placed in charge OF the Virginia State
armory, with instructions to arrange for the
removal thereto, with the utmost dispatch,
the machinery, elc, captured at Harper'-
Ferry and place it in position for use
Within ninety days Of the date of his COM
mission he had the machinery at work in
Richmond producing rifles Of the United
States patterns.
The following September he was commits
stoned by President Jefferson Davis super
intendent of arms, WITH rank Of lieutenant
colonel. During the summer of 1863 Col.
Burton was ordered to Europe on business
for the State Department. At the close OF
the war, and after recovering from severe
illness, Col. Burton, with his family spent
about three years in England. Upon his
return he located in Loudoun county, Va,
where he resided until 1871, when he again
wen. to England at the instance of a pri-
vate firm in Leeds to take direction Of
contract entered into with the Russian gov
eminent for the supply Of the entire plant
of machinery for a small arms factory on
large scale at Tula in Central Russia, for
the manufacture of the Berdan rife and
with the view of ultimately going to Tula
as an officer of the Russian government 10
take the technical direction of the factory.
He was constrained to resign his position,
and returned to Virginia in the tall 1873
since which time he has been following the
peaceful pursuit of a farmer near Winches-
ter.-Boltimore Sun dispatch.

By means of this device horse can be

shafts are at present held up, not only hold
the shafts, but by this contrivance so clasp
