The Site of Venice.
The city of Venice is approached from
behind by a railroad constructed over
stretch of swamp. Out beyond this swamp
was another swamp which was a little
higher. 1t had been out Of the water lon
ger and had caught enough of seaweed,
sand shells and sediment to be fit for birds
to nest on. There was one island called
the Rialto, which was really quite secure
and around this one there were said to be
about IS or 80 other islands which today
are occupied by the city of Venice. Some
of these were originally not islands at all
| They were mere high places in great
bog, which, by the cutting Of channels and
by artificial means, were converted into
more or less fit places for the erection OF
buildings.
Without consulting history one could al
most guess that such an unfayorable spot
as this was not selected rs the site for city
out of free choice, and indeed it was not.
Venice was started during the fifth and
sixth centuries The inhabitants Of Padua
and few more north Roman cities, chased
out by the Huns, tho Goths and other
tribes of barbarians, took refuge here In an
Adriatic lagoon. The savages of Asia had
no boats, SO that the settlement was very
safe, and leading an independent life pros
pcred here by itself during the middle ages
at surprising rate.
1t was q monstrous work to make the
city secure from the sea. Ship loads of
stone were brought from other coasts.
Dams and canals were built at great cost,
and the residents finally got enough of dry
land about them to feel moderately safe.

The sleeves were double puffs and the
front portion reached to the wrists and
were covered with long white mosque
taire gloves, which reached to the elbow.
Around the waist was sort of belt of
several thicknesses of tulle, fastened
with bunch of orange buds sent from
the south of Spain. There was full
vest front of tulle, over silk and bretelles

A Missina Pitcher.

The Richmond State of Monday says
that SetIey, formerly of the Staunton club,
and for some weeks past the pitcher for
the Richmond club, suddenly left Rich
mond with his wife on Sunday evening
last. In a history Of the departed pitcher,
it says:
Setley had been with the club only short
time. He was a clever ball player, Captain
West said, but there his good qualities stop
ped. He has jumped contracts made with
several clubs. When he signed with Staun-
ton he had been blacklisted by the Altoona
club whose contract he had dishonored.
When this was discovered he, of course, lost
his position. Richmond, to get him, had to
pay $500 to get his release. At the Spragg
House this morning the proprietors were
mourning the loss OF a good-sized board bill.
few doors further down the street are the
vacant. rooms that Setley and his wife occupi-
ed but didn't pay for. Setley had been solic-
iting advertisements for the score card gotten
up by the club and had collected money OH
the same, but so far as is known only about

name of W. W. Setley will be at once recorded
on the black list of the League.

PRACTICAL THOUGHTS ON BOARD
APPOINTMENTS

PRACTICAL THOUGHTS ON board
APPOINTMENTS.
A few years from now, the people of Vir-
einia will look back with establishment at
the absolute irrelevancy with which the
official boards of their State institutions
are appointed. In their retrospect they
will see the Board of the University OF
Virginia without an educator of any
note on it; they will see the D., d. & B.
Institution where there are scores of girl
pupils. without woman on the Board that
manages it; they will see four insane asy-
lums with over thousand women IN them
without single woman on any OF the
Boards managing them; they will see State
educational institutions managed by
Boards withouta man who could be called
an educational expert on them, or
who could successfully examine the
pupils Of the Stanton High School
)of to-day: they would see boards
managing State institutions which dis
-burse many thousands Of the people S tax
es. without an expert accountant on them:
they would see the boards of four insane
asylums without single expert alienist
on any one Of them-in brief, in almost the
whole Board system of State institutions
they would see the blind leading the blind,
places filled by political favor in grea'
measure and with little reference to fitness
for the particular position to which mel
are assigned.
1t is said that n feeling prevails in Rich
mond that there will be a meeting OF the
legislature in Richmond this winter and
that it's chief mission will be reform. Ii
this is so, let Delegate Eugene Withers, VIII
last winter attacked the expensive system
of government of the State with the cour-
age of a true reformer, take this matter il
hand. Many of the appointments made tt
the Boards of the State Institutions for
wears past have been, in plain English,
breach of trust by the Governors who made
them. There is no other name for it. Ii
is not that the appointees were not respec-
table men and honest men; it is because
they were totally unfit for the places and
would not have been appointed by any Gov :
ernor to responsible place in any great
business owned by himself Some law
should he passed to cause men who seek, o.
receive without seeking, Board positions.
to undergo some sort of official examina-
ton as to their fitness for the Board tt
which they are appointed. The plan of ap
pointing shoemskers to keep watches i'll re
pair, and watchmakers to keep horses shod
Just the sort Of misfit selections
which haze characterized appointments il
Virginia for Years-should be put an end
to- The period should end in which we
en- see great medic Il institutions like oul
Stale hospitals with sometimes only ont
physician on the Board and oftener none:
