EN- GOVERNOR CHURCHILL, of Arka--
Bas, famous general of the Confede RI to
srmy, is fully reconstructed. He is not
only good citizen, rendering ready
obedience to the laws of the country,
but no Is willing to use his military
talents in defence of the flag of the
Union, and, incidentally. in helping the
government to maintain the Monroe
doctrine. In view of tho Venezuelan
crisis and the possibility OF war be-
tween this country and Great Britain,
he racently transmitted the following
teiegraphic dispatch to Senator Berry,
OF his State: SIN case Of war with Eng
land, offer my services to tho Presi-
dent" The Senator promptly replied,
"All right, Thomas" snd thus the m t.
ter stands. This prompt tender of hig
services by an OK Confederate general ia
vailing sentiment of Southern soldiers
OF the late war towards the general
Government. Governor Churchill is
only one OF the thousands of brave mon
in this section who fought under tho
Stars and Bars, but who are now ready
to prove on the battlefield their devo-
ton to the flag of united country
Probably at no time in the history of
the United States have the people of all
sections been more thoroughly united
than now. Slavery is dead; accession
is buried. Time has nearly obliterated
all the bitterness Of the late civil war,
and another generation OF ardent, pa
triotic American cit!z ans is on the stage
OF action. A foreign war would incite
rivalry among the troops OF the sev-
eral States that would make them prac
ticslly invlncible. England could not
have selected better time than now, 80
far as we are concerned, for testing the
strength Of the Monroe doctrine.

SHEEP VERSUS DOGS.

The bill OF Senator Wiokhsm, of
Hanover county, recently introduced In
the State Legislature, making the pro-
prietors and harborers of dogs that kill
or worry sheep liable for damage to the
owners of said sheep, is wise one. and
should be promptly passed, with a pro-
viso that the offending dog be killed.
All who have looked into the matter
must admit that the climate, soil and
other conditions OF this State for sheep.
raising are as good as those Of any State
or territory ia the Union.
They must also know that the thou-
sands Of wort hless curs in the oommo
wealth are the main drawbacks to q
successful prosecution OF this valuable
industry. Hence it is very important
for the material development of the
State and the prosperity of individual
farmers that some drastic and stringent
measure be enacted to foster and en-
courage sheep raising and wool grow
Ing. Mr.. Wickham's bill is step in
that direction, which should DO folio we'd
up vigorously until the industry hRs
been added TO the other means of money
making afforded By the superior re-
sources Of Virginia.
The dog, however, has been such q
valuable animal In the eyes of many
Office holders and Office seekers in this
State thas anything which tends to
Lessen his privileges or repress his power
for mischief is looked at more with the
eyes of the demagogue than of erue and
enlightened craftsmanship. II the dog
were eaton here, as Is done in China and
other eastern countries, as we'll as by
some of the Indian tribes of tho United
States. his protection and preservation
might BIO advocated with some degree O.!
reason; but when 1t is remembered
that nino-tenths of the members OF the
canine tribe in this State are utterly
worthless and absolutely pernicious to
the welfare Of the people, the timidity
displayed by the average legislator on
this question would be amusing, IL 1!
was not serious. BY all means let US
have law that will protect the sheep,
even at the expense of the life and
power OF destruction of the dog.

sired by Antonio Ezeta, is in state of fever

Rumors have been thick at all the ports
at which the Celia stopped concerning the
coming of EZeta to capture Salvador. A
warm reception awaits him.
'They are up in arms there" said Capt.
Johnson. "At Acajutla, La Libertad and La
Union the beach is full of soldiers, and ct
the new ports there were thirty guards, all
waiting for Ezeta. They told me that the
friends of Ezeta were suffering for his acts.
No less than half dozen very wealthy men
were on the chain gang, but what charges
were made against them could not find out.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, October 3.-The situa-
ton among the republicans in regard to
their selection of candidate for mayor is
most uncertain, and the republican con-
yention, which meets tonight, is liable to
prove q turbulent gathering. Yhe repub-
lican leaders, who oppose the nomination of
Mr.. Master, and among them are Chair
.nan George N. Wellington of the state
committee, Chairman Stone of the city
committee, Mr.. James A. Gary and other
republicans of prominence. declare that
they have enough delegates pledged to
prevent Mr. Masters nomination, and that
gentleman's followers, while asserting that
they intend to make a spirited contest in
bis behalf. admit that there is little lfkeli-
hood of his heading The city ticket
To whom the nomination will go was the
subject of general speculation among re-
publcans today. and the prevailing inn
preston is that Mr.. Alcaeus Hooper. pres
ident of the first branch of the city coun-
Gil, will be the choice of the convention.
Col Hanway has announced that he will
not accept the nomination unless ne re-
ceves the unanimous Endorsement of the
delegates. The leaders are very much at
sea, but the general belif is that Mr..
Hooper some dark horse will be nomi-
mated.
Among the democrats the Indications are
that Mr.. Henry Williams will be nominated
by reclamation, and the favorable attitude
of MIR. German, coupled with Mr.. Hursts
Insisting that he should be the nominee, are
expected to n,o!lify the faction of the party
which opposes his candidacy.
The trial of Supervisors of Election Bans
and Cairncs continued this morning, and
much damaging testimony from the repub-
lican watchers, who were examined. was
produced. The interest in the trial con-
t:Eues unabated. and large crowd was on
hand when the case was reopened.

THE POINTED SHOE.
1t Has Improved the Condition of the
Great American Foot.

Great american root.
A study of feet is interesting at change
/, of season like the present when pretty
nearly everybody, big and little. is sport
ins new pair of shoes. The coming
crowds kick out shapely toes that retain
all the artistic perfection Of the manufac-
turers' lasts, and there are no n-down
heels when you look at the 'throng going
the other way. Most of the new shoes,
too. have pointed toes. and the country
cousins who come to town shrug their
shoulders and pity the way city folks suf-
fer from their Germs. The fact is, how
yer. that the American. foot has greatly
improved in shspeliness. and is less sarni-
iured with excrescences since the sharp toe
style of shoe. came into vogue.
A Star reporter found this out today dur
ing conversation with Mr.. William Hahn

whose establishments are located at $50
and 81 18th street northwest, 1914 and 1916
Pennsylvania avenue northwest and 2S3
Pennsylvania avenue southeast. My thirty
years experience has taught me that the
sharp toe shoe is more conducive to COM
fort, and less productive of corns and bum
IONS than any other kind, said Mr.. Hahn.
THE secret of wearing them is to get
them long enough to accommodate the foot.
The great trouble with people is that they
almost invariably come into shoe store
ard ask for certain size instead of ask
latter and only sensible course, they would
have no trouble whatever with their feet.
They would get shoes shaped to their feet
and would not only get more comfort. but
more durability, for a shoe shaped to the
foot will outlast two pairs of ill-titting
ones.
"A much better class of shoe is being
made row than formerly, and this holds
good for childrens as well as adults
Shoes" he continued. The leather is tan
red better and they are made smoother in
side. In school shoes a favorite style is
the shoe with the sole-leather tip. which
looks neat and we'll and which cannot be
kicked out Child ems shoes are now made
with pointed toes as well as those for big
folks, because. the youngsters want to be
as much like their papas and mammas as
possible. WHAT is the average size OF shoes
worn by women now? Well, l reckon No.
As would answer that. Twenty-Five years
ago no woman would wear size larger
than IS, no matter how big her feet We're

Recent Robberies Reported.

Thieves of all kinds seem to be getting
bold and the police have as much as they
can do now to protect the citizens from the
operations of those who prefer stealing to
doing a little manual labor. Among the
cases reported this morning was one Of
highway robbery, in which the victim, AL
bert Harry of 800 M street, was roughly
handled about 10 o'clock Monday night. At
the time stated he was standing on the
corner in front Of his house when he was
knocked down by three men and robbed of
his watch and chain.
Yesterday afternoon there was case of
pocket picking at the Buffalo Bill show.
Such shows, the police say. always attract
members of the light-fngered gentry, and
the show yesterday did not prove an excep-
ton. Mr.. U. L. Adams, clerk in the
Treasury Department, was the victim. His
pocket was picked Of s.,a watch and chain;
al the fruit stand of Amato Salvatore, 1888

Searching Parties Looking for Him
Near Dubois, PA. u-,a.
The father of young VIII Deloe, formerly
of Washington, received a letter today
written last evening by Mr.. Redfern Of the
Daily Express, Dubois, Pa, narrating the
rcumstances of the young mans disap
pearance. No reason can be assigned but
alteration of mind. Deloe had been sick
for few days with Indigestion, but no
serious consequences were apprehended.
His employers looked after him quite close
ly while sick, and one Of them went to the
hotel to take Deloe home with him. when it
was found he had disappeared. Telephone
and telegraph messages have been sent in
all directions without getting any clue.
The local papers are publishing all par
ticulars possible, hoping to get trace of
him. Last night search parties were or
ganized to scour the region about Dubois
Profound regret is expressed on all sides at
the young mans mishap, as he was much
liked.
