ca egram:
VAN, March 5.--The outlook here is
rather better and more peaceful. Orders
have been given by The government for
five battalions OF troops TO proceed TO the

The missionaries are arranging to
materially diminish The Christian Herald
relief work in the city of Van, and are
sending as many refugees as possible to
their homes In the different villages.
Money Is urgently needed to help those
who have exhausted their means i'm the
struggle for existence during he winter.
Relief work must now also take up the
distribution OF seed and also cattle for
ploughing. II funds were available, we
could do much good by sending relief
parties to outlylng districts We are
hopefully awaiting the assurance OF fur
ther aid from our friends In America.
Our industrial bureau which is now en-
ploying seversl families, should be con-
tinued for several months, il is the only
means OF support for multitude OF help
less women and children.

faculty Of making and retaining friends
so that very soon after he had entered on

those who were most opposed to his ad-

ability. Ills rise in the profession was
very rapid and six years after his aomis-

State with such signal ability that
at the expiration OF his nrst
term a reappointment was rendered him
but declined on account of the pressure OF

Reception to Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Tabe
An Interesting Play.

The Hollands have, during the entire
season, with each observation-disclosures
emphasized the success achieved by them
at their New York debut with ga Social
Highwayman. The play In it's simple
strength, the plot with its unconeention-
oil development, the stage setting absO-
luteiy devoid of sensational devices, have
been cordially hailed as q refreshing addi-
tion to the "decadent" repertoire OF the
contem orary stage. 1t iscusses no
problems, it SCOTS at none of the accept
ed and acceptable conyentions--it simply
tells an interesting story in a straightfor-
ward manner and thus has achieved n
rare success. In these days when almost
the only relief from the artificial "society
play" seems to he the preachy "problem
play" and when the rest Is risque farce
comedy or mechanical meIodrama, IL is a
relief to be assured of the unqualified
success of play like "a Social Highway
man," more especially since IL serves to
exploit as stars such skilled actors and
good fellows as Nei and Joe Hollsnd.

characters which, clea, ly and strongly pre-

the play above the average Of border
dramas. The principal Indian character is
graduate of Yale, although q full
blooded Sioux, and he BECOMES an army
surgeon in a regiment stationed in the
Sioux country. The rescalities of some of
his fellow officers disgust him with civil
lization, and he desires to Join bis tribe,
but finds tbat he is an outcist from both
red men and white men. The other pc
cnliar parsonage is an army officer who
commits an act of cowardice, in conse-
quence of an inherited tendency that way
but redeems himself by deed of desper-
ate bravery. The expectation Is that the
work will have adequate acting and seen

until he has a squint at barometer aud
takes an observation of the bearings OF
the thermometer. A week or more ago q
young descendant OF this ancient marin
er took IL into his head to examine the In
terror workings of the baI ometer with
such disastrous results that very little OF
the contrivance remained intact when
he finished. AS weather forecaster IL
was utterly worthless and the sailor man
laid IL aside sorrowfully with other worn
out relics of his sea-golng days. But he
didn't feel happy without barometer
and finally decided TO test the merits oil
one of the so-called natural sort which
don't cost much and which are pronounc-
ed infallible prognosticators OF coming
weather changes.
He had heard OF harometers made OF
soda and camphor dissolved in alcohol
and corked up in long slim vial and he
he'd seen those used by Cuban fishermen
made of thin piece OF Spanish cedar
glued to thicker piece OF bass wood
with the grain running longitudinally,
but neither of these struck his fancy. AT
last he read about natural barometer
that cost little and promised mu and
which, unlike the others, did strike his
fancy. This weather forecaster was very
simple, consisting of a glass nalf filled
with water, live Ieech and piece OF
muslin, the latter to be laid over the top
Of the glass to prevent the escape of the
leech. The m slim, the glass end the
water were at hand and the sailor had
soon procured leech from nearby drug
store aud had his barometer complete in
short order. Now the sailorman had read
that when fine weather was on the card
the leech would remain at the bottom of
the glass curled up in spiral shape and per-
fectly motionless. When raiuy weather

by, crawling TO the top OF the glass where
II would remain until fair weather re-
turned, when it would retire TO the bot
tom of the glass again and coil up. A
wind storm was to be foretold by the vio-
lent squjrming of the leech and snow
storm in the same way as rain. The old
sailor man noted the fact that when the
fesch was put into the water 4 did Il little
squirming, but soon settled down in the
bottom and coiled up according to pro-
gram. For two or three days the
weather remained clear and the leech
stayed at the bottom OF the glass. Last
Thursday the sailor mans past experience
told him a storm was brewing but the
leech gave no indication of IL. Friday
when The drizzle actually began the nat
ural barometer had not changed, nor were
there any stormy symptoms all through
Saturday and Sunday when the rain
poured and the wind whistled. The leech
still held out the fair weather signal. The
sailor man was first discouraged then dis
guested At last he decided to impress upon
his leechsbip the importance of tending to
business and with that purpose in view
fished him up from the depths OF the glass
only to find the creature dead. That set
tied the natural barometer business with
the sailor man, who is now searching
the secondhand stores for weather
prognosticator that can't be killed by
Pawtuxet water.

At IL o'clock, Monday night, the
B. & o. ceased to operate that part OF
the Valley branch lying between Har-
risonburg and Strasburg. Va, and
turned it over to the Southern rail-
road company, from which it was
leased The giving up of this lease
by the B. & o. takes a link of 48
miles out of the Valley road which
the system will operate locally be-
tween Harper's Ferry and Strasburg,
distance of 81 miles at the north
end. 1t is stated that the failure to
renew the lease was due to contin-

the officials did not deem it wise to
hold on to it. The change will great
ly discommode the Valley people.

Mr.. John Potter, who was removed
to the Mount Hope hospital, near
Baltimore, several weeks ago for
treatment, died in that institution
last Friday morning. He had been
in i'll health for several years, and
some time ago while attending to his
duties as engineer on the B. & o., he
stepped from a stool in the railroad
office at Cumberland, when he broke
bone in his thigh, from which he
never fully recovered. He returned
several months ago from Hot Springs,
Ark, where he INDUCED in the baths
in the hope of improving his health.
Owing to his advanced age the treat
ment proved of little benefit. His re-
mains were brought to this city Fri
day night, on train No. 7, and taken
to his late home on West Martin
street. The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon, at ? O'Clock, in the Baptist
church, and the interment was made
in Green Hill cemetery. The Mason
ic lodge and Order of Railroad En-
gineers, of which he was member,
attended the funeral in a body. His
wife survives him. He was Ga years
! of age.

Let Senator Mills Answer Himself If
He Can.
From His Speech in the Senate, Sept.
10Th, 1898.
In 1879 gold became the
standard which measured all
values in this country. 1t is now
the standard-the uniform stand
ard OF value Of the commercial
world. We are invited to abandon
this standard and go to depre-
ciated standard Of another metal.
1t will be just as fatal as II we
went to the deprecated standard
of paper money. l denounce now
in this country the attempt to
shift and change the standard of
values for the purpose Of enabling
the debtor to cheat and defraud
his creditor out Of one-half Of
what he has promised him, and
in doing so to put the country
upon a variable and shifting
standard of value, by which the
people will be plundered continu-
ously, from one end of it to the
other. Every contract now in ex-
istence in the United States made
since 1879 is on the gold standard,
and where a dollar is mentioned
it means a gold dollar or one as
good as gold; and l will never
vote for any law that enables a
man to cancel an obligation to
pay 100 cents by paying 81 cents

RAN NEARLY A MILE.

st. Louis, Mo-, September 1O.-While
running fully forty miles an hour a
round a curve, the Missouri Pacific fast
mail train, engine and tender. jumped
the track, owing to a broken flange,
three miles west Of here and at that
speed passed over a bridge more than
a hundred feet in length, that spans
Muddy creek. The accident occurred
on a down grade and the derailed ten
der ran three-quarters of mile over
the ties before the train could be stop
ped. No one was injured, but it was
almost miracle that the entire train
was not ditched. The road was block
ed nearly three hours.
