sleigh was struck by pas
senger train on the Midland BAIL
way at road crossing. The bride

A Funny Little Drawing Lesson.

Two curves, like two slckles,
Are set on their ends,
The hollow part facing within;
Above and below straight line extends,
With which you can stop or begin.

Outside Of these curves,
You may place two curves more,
Or inside, as best suits your liking,
On the straight upper Line that was drawn
heretofore,
Two ears make likeness quite striking.i

Just under these ears,
You two circles may trace.
And draw little diameters through
much lose my guess if you don't get fass
And two eyes staring at you.

The DcHers of the Law.

one or two Of the less influential news
pauers OF Washington ana the Board OF
Trade OF that city (Which is noted for
the magnihcence OF it's gambling saloons
and its numerous criminal classes are
still "hammering'' away at the Governor
Of this state for not enforcing the law at
Alexander Island.
Now all who know Governor OFerrall
know that so far from "sheitering' the
Washington criminals who are operating
on Virginia soil IL would delight him 10
put himself ut the head OF posse ana
capture the whole gang and land them
in the State Penitentiary. But II Is not
In his power to do more than ne mas
done. He has been incessant in his
urgings and demands that the gang shall
be broken up. And the County Judge mas
nobly seconded his efforts, but to ht'le
effect. The influence Of the men VINO
have acquired the Grange charter undef
which they are operating at Alexander
Island is great. II would seem that little
or nothing can be done to dlsband them
until the Legislature meets. when the
Governor proposes 10 ask II 10 CONFER
,pon certain officers OF this Common
wealth powers that they have not now
and when the misused Grange chat'er
will no doubt be revoked.
we do not believe that the public senti-
ment of this State demands that legiu-
mate horse-racing should be suppressed.
Not at all. The true lovers OF horse
racing i'm Virginia are a. much the enc
niles Of the men who are denying the
State of Virginia at Alexander Island as
are any other class OF our people. But
what Virginians will not tolerate is de-
tlance of the laws of this State-contempt
for Virginia authority. II the authorities
of the little county OF Alexandria are
powerless TO deal with these offenders
from the North who have invaded our
state. then the whole power of this Com
monwealth should be summoned to as
sert her dignity and enforce her laws.
The men who have established them
selves under the Grange charter at Alex
ander Island are not Virginians, but per-
sons who. having been checked in their
operations at Gutenberg and Jersey City,
now make their headquarters at Washing
ton and slip back and forth as the ext
gencies of their case demand.
Nothing could be more absurd. not TO
say vicious. than the continual tauntings
of the Governor by certain Washington
newspapers and the Board Of Trade OF
that city. Either they are incapable OF
understanding the situation or take plea
sure in disappearing it. SO far from
doing anything to further the cause
which they would wish the public to be-
lieve that they favor, they are injuring
il very materially. They would better
mend their course. This is a matter that
the people OF Virginia feel competent 10
deal with. 1t is a matter which has al
ready aroused great feeling in this State.
and unless superserviceable outsiders in
terfere 10 thwart the efforts Of our peo-
pie, who are now at work to secure re-
medal legislation. Alexander Island as
a resort for lawless men will be heard
Of no more after our Legislature meets.

Good Advice to Colored People.

Commenting upon the refusal Of the
trustees of public schools in New York
city to appoint colored woman as
teacher, the Washington Post writes as
If its editor were a southern man with
a southern mans feelings. IL may be
replied with truth that northern and
southern men have the same prejudices
on this question Of mixed schools. We
quote the Post:
"Of course it is very silly in Susan
Elizabeth Frazier TO wish and endeavor
to force herself upon School No. IS. Self
respecting persons do not intrude them
selves where they are not wanted. The
schools Of New York are maintained for
the purpose OF educating the children Of
the city. not for the purpose of furnish
ing young coiored women with occupation
and salary. We have not the slightest
doubt that Susan Elizabeth's appoint
men. would do No. IS great injury. and
are quite sure that Judge Barrett ruled
wisely in sustaining the action Of the
trustees.
but why do northern people persist
in reviling and reproaching southern
people for acting and feeling just as
they themselves do in this connection
They have a much deeper personal dis
like for the negro than the southerners
have, and in al. things that affect his
material advancement and his individual
amour nropre are infinitely less disposed
TO do him Justice.

place between the Hon. J. Taylor Ely
son. president of the Davis Monument
Association and an influential member
of the Daughters OF the Confederacy
leads to the hope that the Daughters
will devote the next twelve months TO
aiding in raising the Jefferson Davis
monument fund. If so, the money to
build the monument will be speedily
raised The ladies will not only work
themselves, but will put the men 10
work. and thus, by the time the veterans
meet here next spring. the bulk OF the
monument fund will have been secured.

fected organization, with a secret com
mittee of Is laymen to gather munich

The question has been raised in po-
litical centers whether John Goodnow
in going to support the gubernatorial
campaign of Governor Clough, or the
new bcomlet of Bob Evans Friends of
the latter say that John has already
pledged himself to Evans on personal
! grounds and long intimate acquaint-
anceship. Other wise ones say that
Goodnow has supported the admins
tration too long and faithfully to think
of breaking off at this juncture. Still
other mean people say John is talking
Evans to bluff Clough into doing some
thing handsome, and is working with
the State administration folks in order
! to scare Evans into liberal promises.
But John devotes himself assiduously
to getting his ball team into shape,
talks about ''me and Comiskey," and
offers to bet his clothes that the Min

without deigning to notice the critics
