lutiOnary movement and was sum-
mOned before the criminal court to

sionary, Rev. r. NJ. Cole, to leave the

An Important Decision.

The Supreme Court of Appeals
of the State of Virginia rendered a
decision recently the purport of
which may be of much interest to
some of our readers. 1t was de-
cision in which the court held that
an ordinance passed by the City
Council Of the city of Alexandria
which it was authorized by the
Legislature of Virginia to pass,
that provided for imposing pecun-
larry burdens upon the property of
a lot-owner without any notice to
him of what it was intended to do
and without giving him day in
court to show why the burden
should not be imposed, was repug-
nant to that section of the four
teenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States which
forbids any State to enforce any
law that deprives any person OF
life, liberty, or property, without
"due process of law" The court
held that "due process of law"
necessarily implies that person
whose interests are to be affected.
by an act shall be notified of the
contemplated act and given an OPP
portunity to appear and show that
the act to effect him injuriously
ought not to be adopted, and that
the Alexandria ordinance made no
provision for this lot-owner oppos-
ing the contemplated burden, it
violated the fourteenth amend
ment, and was void.
In other words, City Council
has no right to pass an ordinance
which will create debt on one's
property without first giving such
owner notice and right to be
heard.
We understand that similar
question is pending before our
Supreme Court, growing out of
assessments made for street pave
ment in the city of Parkersburg,
and the decision will be awaited
with unusual Kanawha
Gazette.

Tic Newspaper Nan.

The newspaper man has some
friends that the world knows not
of; or it does it finds them out
accidentally.
There is the old subscriber who
reads the paper religiously, lives
by it, swears by it and viii die it's
friend and supporter His chill
dren read to each other from its
columns; they read the lads" and
all, Whensthat paper says thing
is SO, he is firmly convinced of it's
truth. He knows it is just so, and
you had as we'll undertake. to put
the rock of Gibralter on wheel
barrow and cart it across the
Atlantic as to move him from his
opinion. If his paper stated that
when the flood subsidized the ark
rested on the top of sassafras
stump, he would not rest until he
had harmonized the statement with
the fact as set forth in the family
Bible.
And then there is the fellow who
asks to have his paper stopped be-
cause he takes more than he can
read. Very often the fact is he
can't read much, More often he
thinks it would be less expensive
to borrow it of his neighbor than
to get it direct from the Office. !
always feel sorry for his neighbor
when a man stops his paper.
Another friend whom the editor
sets high estimate on, is the far
mer who always comes up to pay
his subscription every year when
he pays his taxes. That's business.
Another occasional character is
the man who doesn't subscribe,
but, comes in every week and buys
a copy of the paper. That's ex-
travagance.
Sometimes fellow stops his
paper because the editor said some
thing that didn't exactly coincide
with his preconceived notions.
That's foolishness.
Usually on his list there are a
few persons who tell him what they
think of the paper. If it has said
something good they put their
hand in that of the editor and say
SO. That's right.
Sometimes an unsanctifed soul
will take the paper for years and
then order it stopped without pay
ing for it. That's gall.

Praise Your wife.

GLOW do 1 look?" asked wife
who stood before her husband
dressed to go out with him. He
raised his eyes from the paper he
was reading, looked at her and
said: Cali right" He heart sunk,
and her lips quivered, but he did
not know it. She was conscious
of looking her best and she wanted
a word of praise, of admiration
from her husband, and she failed
to receive it. Why was he so
grudging of praiseP Ask the ay-
erage man who answers his wife in
that way when she asks his opin-
ion, and he will tell you that she
always looks we'll. But why doesn't
he say that to her, or rather why
does he not make little lovelike
speech for such an occasion? Even
the courteous remarks he would
bestow on the costume of an ordi-
nary acquaintance are withheld
from his own wife.
There was a husband-he is dead
who used to say to his wife,
"My dear, you are looking charm
ing this evening"" or 81 love you
best in that blue dress of yours"
He was poor stick of aman in
the way of worldly success, 'but his
widow canonized him for just those
loving tributes given to her with a

of welded life.

man, 81 would like to be n man

A Fec of n Million Dollars.

All of the Confederate veterans
know of Charles Broadway Rouss,
the millionaire merchant of New
York, who has given 100000 for a
battle abbey for the South. He
is almost totally blind.
He is about 55 years old and en-
joys good physical health He
came to New York penniless, when
a boy, but by push and persever-
ence he has amassed large wealth
and for many years has made his
home with his family on Fifth
avenue. His store in which nearly
everything is sold, is one of the
finest structures on Broadway and
employs an army of clerks.
In recent talk with reporter
Mr.. Rouss, while seated in the
centre of his busy counting room
surrounded by a hundred en-
ployees, said: 81 will give you n
million dollars for pair of eye
glasses with the aid of which [ can
read. 1 am in earnest" he added,
"and will write the check for one
million, cash, as soon as the glasses
are produced"
"No, 1 am not entirely blind;
but L am unable to read and the
best physicians have told me that
my sight can never be restored.
I have made this offer to the most
skilful occulists, but none of them
has been able to earn the big fee
which L would gladly pay"
Mr.. Rouss is a very liberal man,
but eccentric. One of his methods
of distributing money for charity
is to throw handful of small
change to the newsboys in Broad
way as he leaves his store in the
evening. This he does every day.
He served as a Confederate soldier
and his certificate of membership
in New York's Confederate camp
is prominently displayed in his
store.
