Alexander Island.

Some OF the newspapers Of Washing
ton city are engaged in campaign of
vilification of Governor O'Ferrall be-
cause he has not called an extra session
OF the Legislature 10 repeal the laws
which enable gambling TO be carried on
at Alexander Island. These editors are
either profoundly ignorant Of the facts
IN the case. or are blinded with malice
against the Governor OF this State.
An extra session OF the Virginia Legis-
lature would be very costly thing, and
public sentiment would not approve OF it,
Virginia has not an overfiowing Treasury.
such as Texas has. We are stinting our
selves to meet all OF our obligations with
out increasing our tax.rate. and this we
be able to do II IL we frequently INDUCED
In extra sessions OF the Legislature.
We believe that there would be plenty
OF work TO engage the attention Of the
Legislature II II met every year: but
our people. after fully considering the
subject, have determined that for the
present. at least, we would better save
the money that annual sessions would
cost. We therefore repeat that the
Washington papers which are bowling
out that Governor O'Ferrail ought to
call an extra session show themselves
profoundly ignorant OF Virginia senti-
ment. or indifferent to the demands OF
truth. it
That the condition Of things that exists
at Alexander Island Is disgraceful. there
can be no doubt. But certain IL IS that
Governor o'Ferrall and the Judge OF the
county Of Alexandria have failed in no
duty. They have given this subject
months Of intense study. But they have
been. and still are. baked by the fact
that Q Grange charter granted BY the

We have devoted much time and have
spared no effort to obtain correct informa-
ton on the subject. and. as result or
our efforts, we find that no law was ever
perhaps, more thoroughly discussed or
more generally and severely condemned
than the Walton attachment to the An
derson- Mccormick law.-Brunswick Ga
zette.
Are we to understand that the Gazette
would prefer the Anderson-McCormic
law without the Walton attachment? II
not. what changes does that paper desire
TO be made in the Walton law?

ANOTHER SCHEME.
A Draft of a City Charter VIII Re Presented to the Court of Common ConncfI To-NfUht.

A Draft of City Charter Will Re
 Presented to the Court of Common
 Council TO-Night.
 Every democratic member of the court of common council should attend to- nights meeting. The self.constituted charter makers will make a last effort to secure a city charter and their partisan efforts should. be vigorously opposed.
 Nobody has been authorized to prepare a city charter and the document that City Attorney Burpee is preparing should be consigned to the City hall furnace. We have no faith whatever in any promises that the charter politicians may make. and without a doubt if they St cure favorable report from the committee on cities and boroughs for Waterbury charter, it will be so plastered with amendments before being passed that the present charter would be a model of fairness compared with it.
 The DEMOCRAT speaks for the people when it says that the great body of citizens should be consulted before the charter is radically changed.
 There is no time to prepare a charter and acquaint the people with its provi- sions before next Thursday. the day set for hearing on the instrument. There fore in all fairness, let the whole thing be dropped. At later day the subje-. c4n be revived. @::suussed anu submitted to the people.

The subject has tcCn under consideration at Washington between Minister Guzman, representing Nicaragua, and the represent ntiVcS of Japan. At ono time tho basis of a treaty seemed to have been reached.
 Dr Gul feared, however, that the United States might bavo cause to object to seeing privileges accorded Japan. This objection WAS met by the representatives of Japan by a proposition that Japan should receive tho samC privileges as other countries with which Nicaragua had trea- tics except the United States, it being ex- prrsSiy recognized that the United States Is entitled tO SUI Cror advantages because of proximity to Nicaragua

THIEF HUNTING.
''BIIIv'' Nichols Chase AftSr the Man Who Stole His BicycIe-DeIny i'm Get ting n VEnrraKnf CanSaS

''BIIIV" Nichols Chase Aftcr the Man
 Who Stole His Bicycle-DeIny i'm Get
 ting n Warrant Causes Trouble.
 w. r. Nichols had an unusually exciting experience in the chase after Charles Wilson, the man who stole his bicycle. the other day. Learning that the fellow had gone toward Watertown Mir Nichols se- cured a good wheel and started after him. He tracked the fellow for several miles and was told by people along the road that Wilson was only five minutes ahead of him. Nichols Is enc of the best road riders in Waterbury and expected to over take the thief every minute, but must have been misinformed as to the handi- cap, as he dId not catch a sight of his man and finally lost the track just beyond Wa tertown.
 Almost worn out he went to livery stable, hastily told his story and said he wanted to hire team. The countrymen became suspicious and from their actions evidently thought that wheel he rode and was trying to escape. Finally he succeeded in assuring the livery man that he was all right and was given a team and continued his journey 10 Nor ris. He met a farmers boy on the road, a big. raw-boned fellow, and offered him g to go along and help capture the tkief, The latter hesitated. He wanted g. but was not looking for scrap. and finally de- clined the offer. When he reached the place where Wilson lived the latter was not there. but fortunately he was captured later in the day.
 A good deal of this trouble and expense might have been avoided if in emergency cases like this the chief of police had authority to issue warrants. It was known Thursday night that Wilson had the stole n bicycle and was in Morris. The police were notified. but could do nothing with out warrant. Prosecuting Attorney Web ster could not be found and the police could do nothing until the following day. giving the fellow plenty of opportunity to escape had he sense enough to avail him. self of the chance to get away.

DON'T TUB 1L~
Professor Cheeky Advances ih, Idea That
 IL Is Injurious.

II Is Injurious.
 Bathing and ;!Ir uSG uf soap" says Professor ChecGly, lis 10 per cent moro injurious to the human race tlun any other form of stimulation towhich peo- pie arc addicted. l: l should bathe man i'll proportion as much as he drank, I'd kill him in on"-halt the time. This is called the a3o of hurry and fcvcrish excitement; critics Ct'u!.I.;i t'Iat people arc unwilling tu take ! ,.I,' for any thing. As a matter ,t fact, hours of precious time are wr:>H than wasted daily ill the bathroom. Ii men would preserve their health, there arc three things they must do-frst. leave soap alone; second. get the skin loose from the tissues of the body; third. get rid of tho idea that regularity i'll tho matter of sleep and meals is necessary to physical well being.
 What are the objections to the use of soap:" asked reporter to whom the professor original views were rove- lation.
 There are vital objections, was the reply. The skin, it is acknowledged, bears a most important relation to the body. First, it acts as protective agent, covering tho sensitive tissues of the flesh. Second, it acts as tho agent of the mind. conveying all sensations of heat, cold, friction and the like Third, it directly aids all the other cr- gans of the body, taking up the work of each i'll turn when for any reason they become unable to perform their func- tions. The skin assists all the organs of secretion and excretion ill the entire system, and for that reason great atten- tion should be paid to keeping it ill healthy condition. Although realizing its important functions, people, instead of protecting this wonderful covering of theirs, try hy every means i'll their power to destroy it. Soap does not cleanse the skin. When the skin is dirty, it is unhealthy, and tho organs within the body can never be cleansed by all the soaps in the world. The only stains, blots, etc, on the surface of the skin that people need to get rid of cannot be removed by soap Some other chem ical ointment or fluid has to be resorted to to obliterate them. As far as regards the dust and dirt which naturally ad- here to the body, dust and dirt, being earthly and material, are much better brushed off than washed off, and soap does not aid in the process.
