Editor Yirginlan:
hundreds Of the people obliged 10 re-

St.y crematory is al unmitigated null
saisce. Last summer, during the water
melon season. the rinds gathered by
the garbage carts were piled up fully
!our Feet high. back of the said crema-
Tory, n were not burned. But enough
were baked In the nuisance creator to
nauseate everybody within half d mile
or n place. IL the wind was in their
direction. Now. why should the con-
tractor waste fuel to burr only q very
small fraction of the garbage. when the
greater mass can not be-and as n
matter of fact. none ever i~s-properly
consumed. BY burning that small frac-
ton, no good is done so far as the
theoretical good OF that may
be considered, only labor and fuel Is
wasted by the contractor, and an al
most intolerable nuisance created as
wei. The stencil can easily be smelled
as Tar south as CRANKY and Charlotte
streets. IL the wind is that way. or
equally as far In every other direction.
according to the direction of the wind.
But to the hundreds of people who must
live near 1t, the nuisance Is at times
known to vomit their meals. when the
stencil is turned on. The whole neigh
borhood of upper James street is blue
with the shrinking smoke at times. The
FUMES are not made to pass through two
fres as required, because the plant is
too small.
Can nothing be done? In the interest
the people, please investigate and run
this nuisance out of town. and many
VIII bless the Norfolk Virginian.
Very respectfully,
FREDERICK EGNER.

Jack Moran, and James Pebworth. Jr..
charging them with selling liquor on
Sunday. The case went over to the 2Sth,

was gone over with again. 1t was in
evidence that large crowds were in the
habit of gathering in front of the Elkton

that they were baseball fans and cranks.
AS the defendants license depends on
Justice Burroughs, he was asked TO give
his decision. His Honor, however. re-

THE CZAR'S YACHT.
One of the Most Luxurious of Modern
Pleasure Craft,

Pleasure Graft.
An object of keen interest to the in
habitants of the Danish capital is the
Cars new yacht Standard. which is
now lying in the harbor of Copenhagen
in readiness to bring her imperial master
huge masts and her two great chin
neys, her vast black hull, relieved only
by two lines of gold. and her bows
adorned with the two-headed eagle, his
gilt wings spread for flight, she looks
more like some big liner ready for a
trip to Bombay or New York than any
mere pleasure craft. She has a total
length of 425 feet and her breadth of
beam is so feet. She carries engines
of $4,000 horsepower, and can at Il
pinch steam twenty knots an hour.
Capt Frederick, who is in command,
has under him 20 officers and $50 men.
1t is needless to say that the accom-
mediation for the Gar and Czarina, with
their suites, is on a scale of unparalleled
magnificence. The grand saloon is a
superb apartment 80 feet in length, 20
feet in breadth and II feet high, the
walls being hung and the furniture up
holstered in blue-gray morocco. Out of
this opens a spacious drawing rooms
with grand piano and decorations of
elaborate marqueterie. For each of the
imperial couple and for the Empress
dOWager suites of three cabins are pro-
vided, and these are fitted up. as bed
room, bathroom and boudoir, with sim
plicity but perfect elegance. Each of
the graud dukes and grand duchesses
has two apartments, and saloon for
private dinner of the imperial family ad-
Joins these chambers. The vessel is
lighted by 100 incandescent lamps and
heated throughout by hot-water pipes,
and space has even been found for a
chapel enriched with pictures in mosaic

Very Forcible Talk.

When McKissick's cavalry was in Win
ter quarters in front of Richmond, Va.
in 1864, the following amusing incident
took place: Lieut.. Jack Palmer was
lecturing Tom Rodgers for hurting his
horses back. AS was his custom on
such occasions. he used language that
was more forcible than elegant. While
the lieutenant was pouring the Walls of
wrath ON poor Tom. Frank Wildwood in
terrupted him by saying: ''Lieutenant.
what do you think Of DR.. Doganw Il
think he is tirst-rate fellow-a perfect
gentleman answered the lieutenant. Il
don't know so well about that" replied
Frank. why 500" inquired the heuten-
ant. ''WeH," says Frank, II got q let
ter from home and it is certain fact
that they took two soldiers to Union the
other day on the train. and DR.. Dogan
wouldn't let them be buried in the vii
lage churchyard."
At this the lieutenant 1edoubled his
anathemas and swore he had notion to
send detail of men home to kill the
doctor. ''What object did he have?''
continued the lieutenant. "Why," says
Frank, because they weren't dead"
Just then Frank beat a hasty retreat
under a shower of epithets that were
more noted for their force than elegance,
and poor Tom caught it worse.
