A movement is said to be on foot

A movement is said to be on foot
to raise a pension fund for Life Say
ing men by voluntary contributions
and though it promises very little to
them, everybody should approve it
as q step in the right direction. Men
who are so often called upon to face
death as they are, to save the lives
of others, of course, should have thu
pension, and the cause will not bs
injured if the way proposed is fail
ure. Agitation of the matter can do
no harm and may eventually lead the
Government to deal justly by them.
A government which pays millions
of dollars annually to the men who
served their country by taking tho
lives of others, cannot long Withhold
the pittance which should be given
to the men who spend their time i'll
saving the lives of others. Justice
to them would, perhaps, be long de-
ferred, if it could be obtained only
through voluntary contributions, bui
unless it can be secured by other
means, the movement proposed
should be encouraged certainly until
there is something better in sight.

THIS FINE STRAWBERRY has
more good points than any
Strawberry now grown for the
Northern markets. 1t stands
more frost and drought than
any berry that we now have in
culture.
In 1894 picked off farm sit
uated in Princess Anne Co., Va,
5000 quarts per acre, picking
seven days. \
1T is THE BEST all-round early
Strawberry now grown. The
Berries run large throughout
the entire picking season /; it is
a perfect bloomer a prolific
grower and a good shipper it
is highly colored; has good
keeping qualities and is of fine
flavor, making it very attrac-
tive to berry dealers and fancy

The question of an extra session o.

The question of an extra session o.
the legislature of Virginia this
winter, SO generally discussed
throughout the State, does not find
favor with the Governor and is there
fore practically settled. He does no.
think the necessity for legislation
exists, which would warrant him OH
subiecting the Commonwealth to
that expense and it is not likely that
two-thirds of the members of both
houses will unite in a request to the
Governor to convene it, the only
other way by which an extra session
can be obtained. Whatever the
necessity might be, Governors with
senatorial aspirations, do not think
that the people are in mood to be
fooled with, by favoring any measure
in which expense is likely to be in
CURED. The Governor is right, bu,
no one knows better than he does
that his decision in the matter is in
accord with the will of the people.

His Eve on the Governorship.

hear it said that Congressman
Jones, of the First District, will not
be candidate for reelection in 1896
and that he has his eye on the gov
ernorship. A gentleman who enjoys
the confidence of Mr.. Jones, wher
asked about the matter, confirmed
the ru1nor that the Congressman
would retire from the House at the
end of the term to which he has just
been elected, but he was unable &c
say whether or not Mr.. Zones desired
to succeed Governor O'Ferrall in the
Executive Mansion.
He was of the opinion that the re-
port was premature. Mr.. Jones has
often told him that he was not able
to be in Congress, as his law practice
was worth more to him than the sal
airy he gets in Washington. Now
that nearly all of the Democratic
members of the House are defeated
of reelection the younger members
will have fine opportunity to come
to the front, and Jones is one oil
those who is expected to show ur
well. 1t may be that he will make q
record for himself that will compel
him to stay at the National Capital
Cor. Norfolk Virginian.

To Raise Price of Flour.

A Chicago telegram in last Satur
davis Baltimore American says: The
initial steps looking towards the
curtailment of the flour output, by Il
six weeks suspension of the merchan;
mills of the country, were taken at q
meeting of millers at the Auditorium
today. The meeting consisted OF
twelve men, who were chosen bE
votes, and in whose selection five
hundred millers, representing daily
output of $4,000 barrels, were invi-
ted to take part.
The committee was unanimous i'll
agreeing that the price of flour was
below a profit yielding point, and
that some concerted action by the
trade was necessary to bring up the
price to profit point. An arbitrary
increase of the prices was given little
consideration as the customs mill!
scattered all over the country could
not be brought into line. The re-
duction of stocks was regarded as the
best method of tending to an increase
in price. An agreement was then
formed to shut down the mills for &
period of six weeks, within the three
months beginning December 10. The
agreement will be in force when mills
representing a production of 10000
barrels day have signed the same

Typhoid in Oysters.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, November 90
DIR. G. a. Lindsey, secretary of the
State Board of Health, has completed
his investigation into the typhoid.
fever cases of Wesleyan College
Middletown, which have thus far re-
suited in the death Of two students
He is satisfied that diseased oysters
were the cause of the epidemic. On
the evening of October 18th, at three
secret society banquets, held at
Wesleyan, raw oysters were served.
Ten days later twenty students were
taken i'll with typhoid-fever.
The oysters were taken from beds
in the Quinnipiac river, very near the
outlet of sewer. DR.. Lindsey has
learned that the wife of a member OF
the firm which owned these oyster
beds died but short time ago of
typhoid malaria fever. A daughter
was also taken i'll with the same fever
shortly after her mothers death.

The people of his party and Demo

The Virginia Oyster Survey.

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 16.-Capt.
J. B. Baylor, of the United States
coast survey, reported to Governor
O'FerraD tonight that he has CON-
pleted surveying the oyster bottoms
on the Atlantic side of Accomac and
Northampton counties. This finishes
the survey of the entire oyster
grounds of the State, on which he has
been engaged the greater part OF
nearly three years. 1t will take him
several months yet to complete the
work. He says that there are 5000
acres of good natural oyster rock on
the Atlantic side, where he has just
made the survey

The State Canvassing Board vii


The State Canvassing Board will
meet next Monday to canvass the
returns of the Congressional election
of November 9Th, and all the Ger.
tificates will be awarded. of course,
with one exception to Democrats, in
accordance with the will of the
people. The presumption is of course
a natural one that the Board will
not entertain for a moment any
proposition for stealing the seat of
any member of Congress, and Borland
of the second district will be the only
Republican who will ask them
through his counsel to commit the
theft.

The stay.at-home Democrats

The stay at-home Democrats are
responsible for the slump" which
overlook them on last election day &C,
cording to the official returns of many
States. Twenty per cent. of the
Democrats in 1892 failed to respond
to the call to the polls in 1894, if the
figures given are correct. Under
such condition, therefore, it is no
wonder that the Democrats were so
badly beaten. The consolation to be
derived from the figures. however, is
that they did not go over to the Re-
publicans and may do their duty
another time.

ANNUAL INTEREST.

The annual interest on this will be
1904, 94744 This does NOT include
the bonds held by institutions OF
learning, which aggregate S2,466,'
455.S5. with annual interest amount
ing to $146, 331.52, these having been
put on the same footing with regular
appropriations.
The Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund have purchased during the
year 1887, 900 of century bonds, at q
cost of $199, 291; and it is hoped that
a sufficient amount can be appro'
priated each year for this purpose,
to so reduce the debt by 1901, when
the interest is to be increased to ]
per cent, that it will not amount TIC
more than it does at this time.
Mr.. Ryland calls special attention
to the fact that the act passed at the
last session of the General Assembly
extending the time in which holders
of old securities could fund into cell
turtles has been extended to its e1'
treme limit. No funding can BE-
done after January 1, 1845. my
Impression says Mr.. Ryland, 81;
that future legislatures will be SLOW
to reopen the question, as all holders
of old securities have had ample
notice to fund them"

AN AMPLE oFFsRT.


This includes bonds and interest
held by the United States Govern.
ment, against which the State claims
an ample offset, and also sundry
bonds, with interest, which were Is
sued to several works of internal i'm
provement and cannot be funded,
and large amounts of old arrearages
of interest which will never be called
for, as well as bonds and coupons
which are supposed to be lost. The
estimate, therefore, is that the az
gregate of new debt, which now
amounts to S17,373, 243.26, will never
exceed S1S,250, 900.
This will make the entire debt of
