Charlottesville Raises Her Quaran-
tine.

At last Charlottesville has raised her quar-
antine against Staunton without any condi
tons. The following action on that subject
was taken at the meeting of its City Council
last Friday night as reported in the CharIottes-
vile Chronicle of Saturday,
ION motion of Mr.. Wills the quarantine
against Staunton was abolished uncondition-
ally. DR.. Nelson presented a claim for vacci
mating 800 persons at the order of the Council.
He had not charged anything for his trips to
Staunton as he had pass over the railroad
He had been assisted by DR.. Early in vacci-
mating these persons. He had vaccinated 16S
at the white school, 1876 at the coIored school,
and about 400 at his Office The Mayor was
of the opinion that this work came properly
under DR.. Nelson's duties as city physician
who is to take all precaution against the
spread of the infectious diseases. Mr.. Wing
field thought otherwise, and Mr.. Niche said
it was hardly possible that the city physician
could be called on to give his whole time for
$3.50 per annum as would be necessary in case
of an epidemic. On motion Dr. Nelson was
allowed $50 for his services

THE ADVAECE IN wAGES.-Referring

1.-The calamity howlers offer no ex-
PLANTATION for this fact. Industrial ac-
tivity and improvement under the
democratic tariff is poser to the re-
publicans who predicted that it would
bring ruin upon the country. Better
wages and better prices for agricultural
products are too much for the silver
ties, who assured us that both wages
and prices would continue to fall until
we had the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. The signs of prosperity which
are increasing every day are playing
havoc with the theories of the silverites
and the protectionistes, but they are
welcome to the country all the same"

Edward s.. Taft publishes a letter in
the Washington Fost, in which he dis
cusses the negro problem from the
standpoint of an independent Virginia
Republican. The letter closes with
the following predictions:
Not only is the day at hand when
he can no longer depend upon the
Republican party to stand as his cham
pion, but the time is rapidly approach
ing when he will have the white man
for his competitor in the broad field of
labor now allotted to him, l predict
that the early years of the coming CEN
tury will witness the everlasting settle
ment of the negro problem, and the
greatest of all the factors which will
play part in it's solution will be i'm
migration. Ample support for this
statement may be found in study of
the last census figures"
If the negroes of Virginia and the
South could be made to understand the
truth and force of this reasoning, the
settlement of the negro problem would
date from the day in which they rec
ognized the fact that their welfare de-
pended upon the good will of their
white neighbors. With the progress
of Southern development the demand
for reliable labor in the South will be-
come more and more imperative. 1t
rests with the colored inhabitants of
the South to decide whether they will
avail themselves of the advantages OF
this industrial movement in the South.
In many respects there is no better la.
borer in the world than the negro, and
if he had not been made to believe by
Northern Republicans that the white
people of the South were his natural
enemies, there would be no danger of
his place being usurped by the foreign
immigrant Charlottesville Chronicle

Destructive Storm.

The New York Herald says the dam
age done by the tornado which swept
over East New York and New Jersey
on Saturday afternoon was not so great
as was at first thought at Woodhaven,
l.. l., but far exceeded first reports at
Cherry Hill, n. j. The latter village
was almost entirely wiped out. Scarce
ly a house of the sixty or more dwell
ings composing the hamlet escaped I'M
scathed.
AT both places the hat was passed
around for the relief of the sufferers
and at Woodhaven where the need was
not pressing, a key of money was col.
lected by some enterprising persons.
No further loss of life is reported from
either of the afflicted districts. Mrs
Petroquien was the only person killed
at Woodhaven. and Conrad Friedman,
Anton Fischer and Frank H. Ahrens
the only ones who lost their lives at
Cherry Hill.

THE NEGRO IN THE SoUTH.-Mr
Eugene L. Didier has contributed to
the Globe Quarterly Review, of New
York, an article entitled "The Negro
in Fact and Fiction" He takes the
view that many other Southern peo-
pie have expressed, namely, that slav-
cry was a curse to the white race of the
South and the emancipation curse to
the black race. The sudden loss of SO
vast an amount of what, under the
constitution of the United States, was
property, of course, greatly improyer-
ished the Southern people.
But this was only small portion of
the loss. Consequent upon slavery
was the almost total disappearance of
land values. All this followed upon
and was in addition to the devastation
of war. But the greatest wrong done
to the white and black races in the
South was the inopportune political
acknowledgment of the latter before
they were prepared for it, and the at
tempt by hostile and foreign federal
Congress, by the passage of "civil
rights bills' and force bills, to upset
existing social conditions and efface
existing social distinctions. An at
tempt, in short. to do what was i'm
possible. This legislation aroused be-
tween the two races feelings of antag-
onism and hostility which could not
fail to be most hurtful to the weaker
people. Giving to the negro the right
to vote before he was prepared for it,
and before he could read the ticket he
voted, precipitated the carpet bag re-
gime. Industrially this was a greater
calamity to the South than the war;

pleated into the waist in front-a
most becoming fashion to a slender
figure. Another popular way of cut
ting the waist lately is to have very
square pouch-like effect in front, the
folds turned up an even line, and
showing a deep waistband. This style
gives still more slender look to the
hips; in fact, everything is done to
make the bodice broad and fluffy as
possible and the hips and waist small.
Amateur dressmakers will do we'll to
remember these rules-shoulder slop-
ing, sleeves very wide and short,
bodice full and a great deal trimmed,
waist we'll defined and hips fitted per-
fectly smooth. Whatever the design
or cut of fashionable gown of the

istics.

FISHING FOR SARDINES.
The Catching, killing, and Canning OF
These Luscious Fish.
fro BE CoNTISCEp.

The Catching, killing, and Canning OF
These Luscious Fish.
The sardine fishing is now in full
swing. Toward the end Of April the
fishermen begin to watch for The bub-
bling of the sardines on the surface OF
the sea. For they know that vast shoals
Of the little fish are on their way north,
and they must be caught, If at all, as
they pass. When anyone sees the water
agitated word spreads rapidly, and the
boats put out from the shore and race
for the shoal.
When the net is extended the water
is "baitad' by throwing balls OF
"roque" into it AS the bait dissolves
and sinks the sardines remain to nibble
it, and their doom is sealed. For this
reason "roque" is q most important
part Of the sardine fisherman's outfit
1t is made of the eggs Of mackerel and
Goldfish mixed with clay, and IS rather
expensive, costing from So to S15 q
barrel.
Within the curing factories or can
neries everything is hustle and confu'
sion, for there must not be a moments
delay in cleaning the fish. All night
long the work is carried on by the light
of blazing oil wicks. The sardines are
spread out on tables or benches, where
salt is busted over them. Then the
women &C along and snip off the heads
with great scissors.
The little fiat boxes so well known to
commerce are taken one by one and
filed from the glistening pile Of fish,
after which pure olive oil from the
province of Bari, in Italy, is poured
over them and the tops soldered on.
In the meantime great kettle of hot
water has been raised to the boiling
point ready for the real operation OF
cooking the fish. The sealed boxes are
thrown into it and left for two or three
hours. If any oil appears on the toE
of the water the master workman
knows that some can has not been prop
erly soldered. and the loss is charged
I'D to the man who did the work. a
good workmen will not lose more than
two or three boxes in 100.

FASHIONS IN SHOES.

No toilet is complete for the summer
without plenty of pretty shoes. The
summer belle should have her evening
shoes to match all dresses, and in them
even an ugly foot can be made good
looking. There is fascinating glace
kid just now, which comes in such
delicate tints as eau de Nil, and these
are ornamented with the smallest pos.
sible rosettes.
There is much diversity in satin
evening shoes. Some of them are en-
broidered with jewels and pailettes on
the instep and are laced up above this
in an open fashion, which allows the
stocking to be seen, while supporting
the foot, doing away with all fear that
in dancing they may slip off.
Many have straps over the instep,
and buckles are important; nearly
every shoe displays them, but for
evening they are used very small.
The brown shoes are darker now
and brown glace kid has almost ban
ished any other; it keeps well in or
der and does not need tiresome clean.

French kid and patent leather, with a
strap across the instep, which is vas.
