Her Lover Understood.

From Pearsons Weekly.
A Lancashire lady has been relating
rather pretty story about a factory girls
way of answering a marriage proposal
made to her.
1.-THE young woman could not write or
read writing, and one day she brought a
letter to me to read for her. 1t contained
an offer of marriage
Il happened to know that the writer
was deserving young artisan, so 1 said
to her: Now, you must consider this mat
ter very seriously. and IL you like to come
to me when you have made up your mind
I will write q reply for you
"A day or two afterward / met the girl
again and asked her If she wanted me to
answer the letter for her. oh, that is all
right, said she, looking radiant and
pleased. I've settled it. 1 answered It
myself
Why. how did you do it?' 1 asked.
And then she told me that she could
make a capital L and that she stuck on
the paper a piece of wool after it for 'wull'

SUICIDE IN JAIL.
J. D. sTANFIELD HANGS HIMSELF
IN HIS CELL.
Very Deliberate Preparations-He
Was Caught I'm the Act of setting
Fire to a stabie--suspccted An other
Cnses.

SOUTH BOSTON, VA. March s.-tspe-
cial. This morning at o'clock, when
Abner Darlington went into the county
Jail, at Houston, to make the fires, ne
found J. b. stanfield cold in death. Some
time during the night Stanfeld tore up
his sheet, tied his legs to his BODY 80
they could not dangle then took strap
from around his valise, placed 1t around
his neck, and hanged himself to the
side of his CELL Death resulted from
strangulation. Stanfield was In jail
awaiting trial for an attempt to burn Mr.
Charles BASES stables. near Mt. Carmel
last January.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
II will be remembered that Staniield
was caught in the act, and was badiy
shot by Mr.. Bass and several others.
Suspicion pointed to him as having
burned a lot OF lumber belonging to Colo
mel John S. Cunningham. church, his
own home, and his tobacco prizery at
this place, which had on 1t $4,000 In
surance. with only 5000 or 1900 pounds OF
tobacco In It.
BELTED THE TREES.
Last year he belted a number or fruit
trees belonging to Judge Merritt. near
this place, and posted notice on his
house. warning him of fire.
Since his arrest he had twice before
attempted suicide-once by poison, and
again by cutting his throat. He left two
letters addressed to his wife.

OUR FLAT TAKES WELL.
A Strong Play Well Presented by an
Excellent Company.

The sombre clouds of play-rubbish that
have been lowering in the theatrical shy
for several weeks past have been pene-
trated and dispersed by ray OF sun
shine that came not moment too soun
Mrs. Musgrave's light and buoyant farce
comedy, "Our Flat" is that ray of sun
shine, and it is a most pleasant. and
paiatable medicine for MALAY that ais
theatre-attenders suffer from at various
periods of a seasons progression.
"Our Flat is a wholesome farce. void
of vulgar sallies. and constructed without
the material aid OF specialties, with which
the farces OF to-day are poi,ute. TO a
large extent. Mrs. Musgrave does not de-
pend upon that source for assistance, but
las self-conlidence enough u rely upon
her plot and lines. She mas written
clever and novel-for the thi-d act is
certainly novelty-play, teerllng with
laughable and exciting climaxes. brought
about by well-written dialogue.
Miss Emily Bancker heads the COM
pany that presented the farce at the
Academy of Music last evening. Miss
Bancker's personal charms are numerous,
and her acting OF the role OF Margery
Sylvester, a dramatist's wife, is womanly
and a well-conceived piece Of stage
mimicry.
George w. Parsons, as Reggie Syl-
vester, gives a concise portrayal Of that
character. Nathaniel Glover, conscious
theatre-manager, is well taken care OF
by Will Vaudeville. and p. II. Ryley as
Clarence Vane an unsuccessful actor. is
clever, but his work is overdrawn at
times. Next to the star, Miss Anita
Verno, as Bella, precocious and defiant
housemaid, can be credited with the most
pronounced success. Her idea Of the
maid is typical and made highly amusing
by a catchy delivery Of her lines.
Tho remainder Of the cast furnished
Miss Bancker excellent support.
The engagement closes with matinee
this afternoon and this evenings per-
Torrance.
The next attraction at the Academy OF
Music will be Charles II. Yale's gorgeous
revival of the Twelve Temptations" next
Monday and Tuesday.

THE REPORT on THE V. NJ. /.
Encouraging Words from the COM
mittce That Visited Institution.

Messrs. ]. f. Booker. c. c. Taiiaierro'
C.. II. Harrison, and s. 5. Thomas, con-
s,,tutinp a subcommittee from the House
Committee on Schools and Colleges, made
the following gratifying report with re-
ference to their visit to the Virginia Mil
Itary Institute:
Your committee, TO whom was assign
ed the duty of inspecting the Virginia
Military Institute, respectfully report
that on the morning Of February 18TH,
escorted by the Superintendent and his
adiutant the committee was welcomed
on entering the grounds OF the Military
Institute by a salute from the cadet bat
terry, followed by introductions to and
reception in the library by the entire
academic staff, a review, and inspection
Of the cadet battalion in full winter uni
form. The discipline. marching, general
appearance, and address was all that
could be expected, and the corps Of cadets
seemed to be up 10 the best standard OF
It's habitual usefulness.
The committee then inspected the bar
racks, the cadet quarters, and the rooms
and furniture were found clean and In
perfect order. Then dividing into sub-com-
mttees, some of the sections OF the
classes, particularly in the second and
third, were visited and recitations listen
ed to. This part OF the visit was especial
ly interesting. az the demonstrations at
the blackboard were excellent, and the
classes could not have been advised be
forehand of this sudden and unexpected
appearance OF your delegation.
Following this the Jackson Memorial
Hall, chemical laboratory, mess hall,
kitchen, and officers business quarters
were critically examined The unfinsh-
ed condition OF the Jackson Memorial
Hall was generally regretted. but the
appropriation Of 5000 since made by your
honorable body for building Will remedy
this, and by partially completing make
this building a credit to the school and to-
the State, as also a fitting memorial to
the illustrious solder-professor whose
name II bears, and of practical use as a
gymnasium, cadet lighthouses. public
hall for general use. and class-rooms
combined under its one roof. The cook
ing is done on two stoves. and is alto
gether inadequate for two hundred or
more cadets, sub-professors. hospital, and
attendants. The heating plant is also de-
fective, having been in use nearly thirty
years. These principal defects should be
remedied by replacement with modern
outfits. both being absolutely necessary
to the health, as well as comfort, of pro-
fessors and cadets.
The entire physical aspect OF the beau
tiful grounds and buildings, the general
appearance OF discipline, and quiet mill
tary order characteristic of such schools
was especially noticeable, and seemed to
be in accord with the efficient manage
ment of this institution, to which your
committee was assigned The most rigid
economy is practiced, and II is our belief
that every dollar given by the State TO
the Virginia Military Institute will yield
a generous and most liberal return to the
people.

ALLAN DOWN ON LAMB. .
Mr.. Allan said yesterday, speaking
of his committee meeting:
I'VE were embarrassed by the fact that
Colonel Lamb had ignored me in all my
efforts to perfect the organization or
the City Committee. Though often asked
to give his Views and act in concert for
harmonlzing all interests and influences
here, I think I may truthfully say that
II he has ever used the word harmony
In connection with this disagreement. 1t
has been hypocritical cant. In a secret
meeting OF disorganizers and by letters
marked strictly confidential he sought
to dislodge me. Our meeting last night
was not only remarkable for the fact
of the presence Of the members Of the
old committee, but OF those who had
been nominated by me for appointment
to FIJI vacancies, and who had never re-
ceived their commission. There were also
present the representatives OF the
large white Mckinley Club, Of Clay
Ward. 1t was a most harmonious meet
ing. though there were several present
who were among the leaders in the
recent movement carried on by Colonel
Lamb. or at his instance. had no right
to ignore these people. though their
conduct had been known to be notorious.
and 1 noticed every one OF the meet
ing"
1t was whispered around yesterday that
the announcement that the Executive Conn.,
mittee meeting In this city had been de-
clared off, was ruse TO throw Colonel
Lambs enemies off their guard. and that
1t will be held tonight, as at first ar
ranged.
