Richardson. Differences between this
table ard others which are frequently
published were explained by the chairman
to exist from the fact that other lists
are often made up from the estimated
population of cities where the list ac-
companying the report was based upon
the most autf entic information. namely,
the census OF 1880 and the report of DR..

The concensus of opinion was that It

that mortality. for the whole population

ANNEXATION OF MANcHFsrEB.

ANNEXATION OF
Upon motion of Mr.. Ellyson. the re-
port and its recommendation vas adopt
ed
Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson submitted the
following report, which was adopted;
The Committee on Legislation. to who m
was referred the resolution concerning
the annexation Of Manchester, would re-
spectfully report:
That since the Councils of the cities of
Richmond and Manchester have appoint
ed joint committee. which has under
consideration all the details OF the mary
questions involved in the subject Of the
annexation of the two cities. and the
chairman Of said Joint committee has
kindly offered to furnish from time TO
time such data as he could obtain In the
course Of this consideration for the infor-
nation Of this Chan Der, II was not Gem
ed necessary by your committee to make
detailed inquiries of a similar character.
And as this report of the joint COM
mittee OF the two Councils has not as
yet been completed, your committee Is OF
the opinion that at the present stage of
the question Il can only suggest TO the
favorable consideration of the Chamber
the many advantages which II Is believed
Will result from the union unGer one mu-
nicipality of the cities Of Richmond and
Manchester. which. having now so many
interests I'm common, are practically for
most purposes ore busiress community.
They, therefore, recommend that final
action by the Chamber upon this i'm
portant and interesting question be de-
ferred until full and necessary data for
it's consideration can be received from
official sources. and that then the subject
Of annexation he selected for discussion

PETITION OF THE SOUTHERN n,ILwAY.

Mr. John G. Freeman, chairman OF the
committee on inland trade. submitted a
report from his committee stating the
steps that had been taken by the cham
Der before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in opposing the petition OF the
Southern Railway Company TO be re-
lieved from the operation OF section 4
OF the act to regulate commerce. and the
order OF the commission granting the
prayer of said petition. The report then
goes on to say:
In the opinion OF your committee this
order Is fraught with consequences which
may prove not only most injurious TO
Richmond and other Virginia cities in
their BUSINESS at competitive POINTS IN
the territory with which they have cs-
tabKshed close trade relations; but also
I'm subjecting 20 discriminative and bur-
densome rates all retrospective points
in the sane territory. which Is calculated
to prove injuric Us TO the business inter-
ests OF their customers al such nor com
petltive points In many ways ana thus
Injurious 10 Richmond business.
AS they understand this decision, the
Southern Railway Company Is now per-
mittcd TO so a step farther than the
Seaboard Air Line. for while the seaboard
Air Line has so graded its rates to and
from intermediate points. that the rates

for shorter distance in no cases exceed
ard In scne cases do not equal the rates
Tor longer distances. the Southern Rail-
vav Company is authorized, wherever
II may be necesss ry to meet the through
rates of the Seabosrd Air Line. TO DO so
10 the extent of making the rates FOR the
Iorrcr distances s. less than the rates
for shorter distances. Tais brings about
a condition OF things from which the
commerce OF Virginia cities frequently
suffers. Where rate wars either IN the
transportation Of passengers or freight ex-
ist between carriers traversng their terri
tory. the tendency is to reduce through
rates out OF proportion 20 distance,
whereby both trade and travel are divert
Ell from our immediate territory, or IL
the trade is held II Ia done at serious
loss or undue expense in competition
against discriminating rates for through
business.
In this connection especial attention
IL called to the circular issued by the
Charleston Freight Bureau, defining its
positionn with reference to the present
issue between the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association and the Seaboard
Air Line.
Your committee holds further that the
decision OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission creates a, precedent without
limit In its application. not only TO other
carriers and localities affected by the
present contention, multiplying indefinite
IL new conditions likely to lead to claims
for the same privileges. but also likely
to be awaited of by any carrier which mas
not heretofore asked for relief under
pre-existtng similar circumstances. and
by such continued extension, materially
impair the strength and efficacy OF the
fourth clause OF the act to regulate COM
merce.
Under these circumstances, your COM
mittee recommends that the Interstate
Commerce Commission be respectfully
but most earnestly requested to recon-
slider It's provisional order of April 3,
1896, granting the above mentioned pc
ttion OF the Southern Railway Company.
Respectfully submitted,

THOMAS LINCOLN,
father of
The Martyred President, =
Born
Jan. 6, 1878;
Died
Jan. Is, 1851.

On the base is the word "Lincoln" in
large letters, and small footstone
bears the letters "T. L." The monu-
ment was placed where it now stands
on the 18th day of May, 1880. twenty
nine years after Mr.. Lincoln's death.
Thomas Lincoln's second wife sleeps
by his side, and she, too, deserves more
than passing notice in the pages of his
tory. Abraham Lincoln loved her as
a mother. and it is said that he owed
much of his straight character and no.
bleness of soul to her training. When
he was elected President, and before
going to Washington, he visited his
fathers grave and the lowly home that
had sheltered him for so many years.
She, with mothers intuition, was fear
full of the great task he was undertake
ing of leading the nation in it's hour
of greatest peril, and told him she knew

Care of the Eyebrows.

Eyebrows" says Godey's Magazine.
SHOULD be cared for as particularly as
the hair, for nothing gives such dis
tinction as an elegantly arched brow,
not too heavy and not too thin; the
lashes are the frame Of the eye, the set
ting Of the jewel. If the hairs are stiff
and irregular, the line of beauty is at
tainable with the use Of pincers This
is heroic remedy, as each rebellious,
struggling hair must be pulled out by
the roots. Afterward, put cold cream
upon the brow to allay the irritation,
and also to smooth down inequalities:
then pinch the hairs into shape with
the tips of the fingers, rubbing from
the nose toward the temples. Always
keep a small brush and use it daily on
the eyebrows. Should they be thin
and of a pale uncertain color, there can
be no harm in using one of the pencils
which comes for the purpose, only be
careful not to make too heavy line;
the lashes may be darkened with a lit
tie liquid India ink. The accentuation
Of the eyebrows makes a wonderful
change in some persons faces, and as
a rule enhances it's beauty.
''Never pencil the brows before using
powder, or all your work will have to
be done over again.

Degenerate English Nobility.


Labouchere, in his paper, Truth, thus
walks into the nobility of his native
land:
what have we now? Peers selling
a share in their titles to the daughters
of those who have been successful in
finance and can richly endow their
daughters! Ladies of title wet-nurs-
ing any millionaire who may wish to
give fashionable parties in London!
Hereditary legislators squalidly quar-
reling to obtain salaries as deputy Po-
lon;uses about the court when that par
ty they are pleased to call their party
is in office! Others hiring themselves
out as directors Of rotten companies!
Peers and peeresses condescending to
accept the hospitality Of the shadiest
of financing adventures, in the hope Of
being given some stock exchange tip!
New peerages sold by both the great
parties in the state to any one who
will give funds for wirepulling pur-
poses! How, with all this. the article
maintains It's social value surpasses my
understanding. Still more surprising.
however, is it that a nation that regards
elf-government as thing of value
should allow this hungry. greedy crew
to retain hereditary right to legislate
for them"

DISTINGUISHED.

Holland DISTINGUISHES citizen If he
is absent from the country for ten
years and during that time does not
formally notify the proper authority
that he wishes to continue to be re-
garded as a citizen. Great Britain
does not SO easily give up her claim to
the loyalty of her subjects. A man
may count upon her protection on the
ground that his grandfather was by
birth and allegiance an Englishman.
even though he and his father were
both born and have always lived on
foreign soil, but without being natural
lied.

Senator Mcmillan, Of Michigan, says
he does not believe Senators and Rep
resentatives from the States on the
Great Lakes will try to secure the ab-
rOgation of the agreement with Great
Britain limiting the naval force to be
maintained on the lakes. He thinks
that agreement is of more use to this
country than to England, and that 1t
should be allowed to stand until the
United States can secure a canal outlet
to tide water. In that event 1t will
stand a long time, for while an effort
will be made at the next session of
Congress, and at subsequent ones, to
get an appropriation for the construc-
ton Of ship canal from Lake Erie to
the ocean, those efforts are not likely
to be successful. But the failure to
construct a ship canal does not mean
that lake commerce and lake cities
must not BE protected against the conse-
quences Of quite improbable war with
England Two forts some distance
apart, on the St Lawrence, near Og-
densburg. supplied with a sufficient
number Of guns, will stop the sending
of any English vessels up the stream
into the lakes. The American marine
will be big enough if guns are in readi-
ness, to take care of all the Canadian
vessels already there.

it was on this memorable ground that
his father and stepmother spent their
last days. John Hall, a landmark in
the county's history and good type Of
the now almost extinct Illinois pioneer,
owns this farm and makes his home
here. His mother was step-sister Of
Abraham Lincoln, and they rode in the
wagon that brought the Lincoln family
from Spencer County, Ind, to Illinois,
in 1880, when he was but year old,
the future President driving the Or
team that hauled them. After the
death of Thomas Lincoln, Mr.. Hall
bought the place of John D. Johnston,
Lincoln's step-brother, and has held it
since, Grandmother Lincoln making
her home with him until her death.
In 1891 John Hall sold the old log
house to the Abraham Lincoln Log
Cabin Association to be removed to the
Worlds Fair. He also transferred to
them, hoping they would be better pre-
served in their keeping, all the relics
he had in his possession.

DREAMS AND THEIR Gauss
Some Explanation of Our Cnr;o,

Some Explanation of Our Crr;.
periences While sleep;rs ~,
The causes and classificatio,
dreams is subject that, althona, q
has been discussed from time imnl Il
mortal, seems to. be as little nns ae'
stood, beyond certain point, as !, Wei
ages ago. At the hypnotic consr mss
held in Paris recently, much time e. n
spent in considering this question " aes
though some interesting theories WY uau
brought forth the savants were hu. l W
tie wiser when the discussion ons.,
than when it began.
A compatriot of Ibsen. DR.. Nou,,.-
Void, professor of the University ).
Christiania, gave the result of NM.
Gus experiments made upon himso,,
and others who had lent themselves :.
the cause Of science in trying to asco.
tain the dividing line between tho rol,
played in dreams by the cutaneous ana
muscular senses and between the ,,ns
images of the day and the phantoms -
the night.
You rarely dream, this savant sars
that you are lying down. but generan,
that you are standing or sitting N
way corresponding to the position ~
the member which makes its imnras
sion upon the mind. For examine IL
one dreams that he is standing on fin
toe, 1t will be. found that his toes aro
pressing hard against the footboard If
the bed. Dreams Of walking. runniny
dancing and the like are always pro
duced by the position of the feet
Another of this doctors theories !,
that when we dream our minds to
certain extent become as they wera
when we were children. In support Of
this he says that when dreamer with
half-awakened sense sees his hand bp.
fore him he instinctively begins 70
count his fingers. This IS because tho
dormant senses reduces the sleepers
mind to a childish state of feebleness
and it is in infancy that our first les
sons in computation begin upon our
fingers.
The visual impressions of the day
form another class of dreams. Dr.
Mourley Void is of the opinion that
happy days are followed by pleasant
dreams, and vice versa. Everyone
knows, however, that this IS not always
the case.
At the conclusion Of the learned Nor
wegian's address one Of the Oldest Of
his listeners-one of the most celebrated
physicians in Paris-remarked to col
league that If one has bad dreams it is
because of indigestion or too much
clothes on the bed or too little air in the
room or because his wife SHORES or be-
cause he is lying in an uncomfortable
position, and that with proper precau-
tons there should be only pleasant
dreams or none at all.-New York
