WALTON LAW Is ALL RIGHT
Decision to That Effect Rendered by
the Judiciary.
The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals Has
Rendered Decision Sustaining the Con-
stitutionality of the Election Law.

The case in which the Walton law was
tested was one brought against the board
of supervisors of Brunswick County TO
prevent payment OF the expenses of execu-
ton of this law The main contentious
against the law were that its provisions
for special constables and for voting booths
in which ignorant voters were to be assisted
were Illegal.
The court holds, however, that the voting
booth is well adapted to aid ignorant voters,
who, either from physical or intellectual
blindness, are unable to read. Such per-
sons, the court holds, are properly entitled
to vote, as there is no educational quail
fication in the Constitution, and without
assistance they would not be able to vote.
The court says the law imposes a great
trust upon the special constableS in in
structing and assisting voters, but it is not
to be presumed that the trust will be
abused, and that ignorant voters will be
deluded, estopped and defrauded. Itcannot
be doubted, says the decision, that the pur-
pose OF the legislature was TO frame a
law to promote fair elections.
The court urges the necessity of honest
elections and the protection OF ignorant
voters from undue persuasion, and holds
that the law seeks to accomplish these
desirable ends

InZie'. Nary.lnua Hair.

1t has hitherto been believed that the low
est specimen Of the human race was the
Australian aboriGine. A curious contradic-
tiOn Of this theory is found in the presence
Of an Intelligent and well educated Aus
tralian native in this city. Unzle. the ahor-
tgine, has been placed on exhibition in
New York museum. Except in the contour
Of his features he resembles his race in
nothing. He is quite white, well formed.
and can converse agreeabIy on almost any
topic.
Born twenty seven years ago in Tara
boudZa. New South Wales. he was wor-
shipped as a kind Of god by his own people
the ''black fellows" until an English colo
mist stole him away and exhibited the phe-
nOmenal child in Melbourne. The most In
teresting thing about UnZie is his hair. II
l. great. snow white mass. which stands
out all around his head like an opened UNI
brella and measures six feet in circumfer-
ence.
The growth Of these white locks is simply
marvellous. They require trimming twice
week TO keep them at their present length
Unzie is a great traveller. making his nrst
appearance in this country when he landed
at San Francisco FIVE years ago. He appears
TO have completely lost all desire to revisit
the scenes OF his childhood. where II Is
probable he is still wOrshipped as 'the

USEFUL BAMBOO.
Japan Can Teach the World Some
thing About II Neglected Plant.


The qualities which render the BAN
boo applicable to so many useful pur-
poses and in which 1t sIrpasses all
other woods are its straightness and
length; it's elasticity. strength, hollow
ness smoothness, lightness and round
ness, as also the ease with which II
can be split. and the regularity of its
! cleavage Then. in a minor degree,
comes the fact that it imparts no smel.
or taint to water. which allows 1t TO
be used In constructing drinking yes
sells OF all descriptions, and for con
duits Its quick growth, its abundance,
and the ease with which siZ IS can be
matched, are also factors that can not
be overlooked As a result. 1t is said.
it is hardened and given capability
Of resisting many of the destroying in
duences to which other woods are
prone.
In the bamboo the japanese possess
q source from which all the mater ais
necessary In the construction Of a house
are to be found. and not only this. but
also all the furniture required, and the
requisite pipes and cistern, for supply
ing 1t with water. The strength Of the
light scaffolding they erect with these
canes is astonishing. for it seems cap
able Of bearing any weight that can
be put upon it. Bridges are built Of
bamboo; roads are constructed Of bam-
boo. Baskets. washing bas MS, baths,
buckets. ladders. brooms, stools, trays,
cooking utensils and other domestic
articles are all easily made from some
part or another OF these extraordinary
grasses. So are pipes. tobacco jars,
walking sticks. fans, umbrel AS. combs.
flutes and other musical instruments.
Then. they are by cunning workmen

mental chara cter. such as flower vases.
