The Investment Of Wei-Hai- " eli.

The New York Herald says that a
portion of the Japanese army left the
Talien Gulf on January 10 and reached
Yun-Chin, near Wei-Hai Wei, where a
landing was easily effected, the Chinese
force at that point making only a fee
BILE resistance. A second detachment
of transports arrived ST. subsequently, and
the troops on board were also landed.
The meaning of this operation is evi
IDENTIFY that the japanese intend to
capture Wei Hai-Wei, the only naval
station now remaining in Northern
China, which, with Port Arthur, will
furnish them with two important bases
for supplies and reinforcements when
the time comes for the advance on

and his Ministers may see fit to impose

A Summary of the Pope's Eneyelieal.

The following is brief summary Of
the Encyclical letter of Pope Leo XIII
to the Bishops of America as cabled
from London to the New York Her.
add
It recalls the fact that the Pope
associated himself with the celebra-
ton of the four hundredth anniversary
of the discovery of America, the evan
gelization of which was the first care
of Columbus, and was realized by the
Franciscan and Dominican monks and
Jesuit fathers.
After pointing out that the first
Catholic Bishop in America was great
friend of George Washington His
Holiness shows how the Episcopal
councils, aided by the breadth of view
and equity of American laws, assured
the development of Catholic institu-
tions in America. 1t was to contribute
still more to this development that the
Pope had founded the University of
Washington, for it was of Importance
that Catholics should be in the front
rank of education in the sciences
even the modern sciences, provided
that they were harmonious with the
integrity OF the faith To this end His
AA'iiACcS ca all OdtHOllCe W uO ill
in their power to encourage the prog
ress of the University in Washington,
~ well as TO the North American Col
lege in Rome.
CONCERNING THE DELEGATION.
AS regards the Apostolic delegation
TO the Church in the United States,
the Pope says that it was instituted
with view to drawing more closely
together the bonds between the Cath
olics of America and the Holy See,
without in any way curtailing the
powers of the bishops His Holiness
urges the American episcopate to put
an end to strife and TO instill the idea
of the unity and perpetuity of marri-
age among the faithful. and to incul-
cate among the people the civil and
religious virtues.
The Pope calls upon bishops to tuin
aside the woTkingmen's associations
from law breaking and violence. He
urges them to teach newspaper men to
respect religion and truth and to re-
prove those journals which pass judg
ment upon episcopal acts; finally, to
turn the Protestants to Catholicism by
charity, by instruction in the doctrine
of the Catholic Church, and by lead
ing exemplary lives. In conclusion His
Holiness recommends the sending of
missionaries to the Indians.

Railroad Meeting in Rockingham Csun-


On Monday of last week there was
an enthusiastic meeting in Harrison
burg on the question of subscribing
$3.50, 900 by individuals to secure the
building of an east and west railroad
through that county to pass by Har-
risonburg, and not to be paid till the
road be completed with rolling stock
to Bridgewater. Speeches were made
successfully by Messrs. William
L. Yancey, Edward s. Conrad, Major
George Chrisman, James s. Stephen
son TaIfourd N. Hess. W. Il. Richard,
George B. Keezell, Charles NJ. Harri-
son, and Dr. E. A. Herring, after which
the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted =
Resolued, By the citizens of Har-
risonburg and Rockingham county in
mass meeting assembled:
LIST, That we look upon the building
of the proposed line of railroad east
and west across our county as an enter
prise of prime Importance and one in
which every citizen of the county is
vitality interested.
I'd, That it would be All irreparable
loss to the county for the proposed line
to miss the county. and that any pro
position to supply this loss must neces-
sarily be thereby thwarted.
Sd, That we most heartily approve
the plan now being pushed by our
leading business men to raise $3.50, 900
the amount needed to secure the
road, bya subscription properly guard
ed in all its conditions, SO as to provide
against the possibility of loss to the
subscribers. and that we pledge our
selves to do all in our power to secure
and complete the subscription needed.

HELPED TO HANG HER LOVER.
Texas Farmer and His Daughter
Murder the Latter's SuitOr.

Texas Farmer and His Daughter
Murder the Latter's SuitOr.
The body of Albert Blackman, a well-to-
do young man, was found near Logarto,
Live Oak county. Texas a week ago.
Around his neck was a rope and 1t was
evident that he had been hanged to the
limb of tree. under which the body lay.
He had last been seen alive in the company
of Bessie Harris, the daughter of farmer
Of that locality. At the coroners inquest
Bessie testified that Blackman committed
suicide by hanging. and that she witnessed
the deed, and after he was dead she cut his
body down.
Suspicion was aroused and warrants were
issued for the arrest of the Harris girl and
her father and mother The preliminary
examination of the prisoners has just been
held, and through the confession Of Bessie
Harris on the witness stand the full details
of the crime came out.
She said that Blackman had been court
ing her for some time against the wishes of
her parents, and that the latter, through
their talk. caused her to become insanely
jealous of the young man. Her father
finally arranged with her to put Blackman
out of the way.
On the night of the killing she met Black
man, and they went for walk. She de-
tanned her lover in lonely place until her
father arrived with a rope. and they then
told Blackman that they We're going to
hang him. She wanted him to submit as
test of his love- and promising to cut him
down in time. The girl states that Black
man did not offer any resistance while the
rope was being placed about his neck. and
that she tied the knot with her own hands.
Then, at the command of her father,
Blackman climbed a tree and swung him
self off. He died very easily" concluded
the girl. After he was quiet l cut the rope
and let his body down to the ground"
The girl and her parents are held, charged
with murder

the annual report, and are to he scheduled
end arranged in order to show what gain
or loss each station has made during the
course of the year. the object of this being
not only to know Just what Is being done
In all of the Offices, but to fix the yearly

the annual report slow he has done makes
his salary larger or smaller, as the case
may be. The sale of stamps constitutes the
greater part If the business of the majority

As the result of experiments at the Bos-
ton navy yard, the naval construction bu-
reau has at last succeeded in finding a
means of rendering the woodwork of the
Interior of men-of-war fireproof. The sap
of the wood is extracted in vacuunrin large
Iron tanks and the pores of the wood are
then filled under heavy pressure by a chem
teal composition of borax, boracic acid and
muIiate and sulphate of ammonia. Thus
treated the wood may be subjected to
flame without taking fire. The color ana
texture of the wood is unaltered, and none
of the desirable qualities is impaired The
same process may be used to fireproof
cloth fabrics. such spare sails, ham
mocks, ropes and all of the material going
into ship of war The construction bl-
reau thinks so well of the process that it
has recommended that the department
adopt it and fit out all of the new ships
with woodwork, so treated instead of to-
tally abandoning woodwork in favor of
