noon Yesterday he had been uncon-
conscious. but it was not until yester-
day morning that any serious fears had
been entertained.
Several weeks ago Senator Perkins
left here to attend the republican state
convention at Topeka. Before his
death he explained that he had drank
too much ice water, and a trip to Okla
hOma after the convention. where he
was called on legal business, served to
increase slight dysentery he had ac-
quired in Topeka.
Last Thursday he returned from
Kansas to Washington, and spoke to
the members of his family about his
complaint. He did not regard it as
serious, and, although urged to call in
physician. refused to do so. The
family physician was finally sum-
moned. but it was too late.

The SENTINEL's attention has been
called to a matter which it regrets to
acknowledge is a fact-that is, that
we have in this community some per-
son or persons who despoil graves OF
little ornaments and mementoes placed
upon them by loving friends as q mark
of respect to the departed. The last
act OF the kind under notice is reported
to have been committed at the Odd
Fellows cemetery. We a hardly
believe that ii is the work Of any n
who has arrived at the age OF intelli-
gence-rather the act OF some thought
less child or children. But in eth er
case the practice should be stopped. Ii
it is the work OF children, the parents
should inform them that it is wrong
to do so, and il it be the work OF grown
persons, they should be prosecuted.
We hope the little things taken re-
Gently from the grave at the Odd Fell
lows cemetery will be replaced, and
We also hope We will not have to call
attention to a matter OF this kind
again.

Virginia is not SO dead as people
have been led to believe. For a time
things looked rather dark, but the
changed and improved conditions of
the mines have installed new life and
invigorated the whole financial and
physical system OF Virginia. Every
one walks with a lighter and firmer
step and smiling faces are the rule
rather than the exception, which may
be taken as a sure forecast Of better
times. The Enterprise was informed
yesterday that the proprietor of the

the hotel, and putting it in shape for
occupancy.-Enterprise.

complied, for had he refused the sale
would probably have been cancelled.

A dispatch from Redlands, CAL,
says about two weeks ago prospectors
returned from the neighborhood Of
Death Valley and displayed a large
quantity OF ~fabulously rich gold ore,
assaying over $1,000 a ton. Several
mining experts and capitalists became
interested and made an expedition to
the spot under the guidance OF the To-
Gators. They returned recently, hav-
ing agreed to furnish the needed capi-
tai to open the roads, build the mills,
etc. They declare a ledge is exposed
for 800 feet, with an average depth OF
two feet, and more than half a million
dollars in ore in sight. The large
quantity of the ore shown confirms the
richness of the find.

Martha Washington.

Mrs. George Washington, although
an heiress and beauty, and for many
years the first lady of the land, never
disdained the homely, honorable du-
ties of housekeeping. She considered
1t a great privilege to look after the
details of her household, and regarded
the estate days" as lost. In her home
at Mount Vernon, as in all large
Southern mansions, a work-room was
set apart, and here every morning
Mrs. Washington could be found, sur
rounded by many OF her servants,
experimenting and assisting in their
work.

A Different Meshod,

According to a foreign correspondent
the European green goods swindlers
work their game somewhat differently
from their American brethren. They
send a genuine bank note as a bait.
When the victim has purchased the
supposed spurious notes, bogus detec-
tives appear and seize the good and
bad money. The victim takes the OPP
portunity to escape. A large gang Of
these swindlers has been operating in
London and Rotterdam. They have
victims throughout Europe.
