PRESERVE THE ORGANIZATION.

The Roanoke Evening World says that
it is gratifying to note that many Of the
persons that are prominent in the OPP
posing factions of the Democratic party
in this State are declaring their purpose
to stand by the nominee of the Chicago
convention. The people of the South,
adds our contemporary, cannot afford TO
do otherwise, for the preservation OF our
civilization depends very largely upon the
maintenance Of the Democratic organiza-
ton.
The World speaks the words Of truth
and soberness. Since the war the Demo
cratic party has been the bulwark of
southern civilization. As great as are the
business interests involved in the fnan-
cial issue, those interests, so far as the
South is concerned. are as nothing COM
pared with the maintenance Of the integ-
rity Of the Democratic party throughout
the country generally, and in each South
ern State in particular. Virginia Demo-
Gratis cannot contribute more effectively 10
the maintenance intact of the national
Democratic organization than by doing
their first duty TO themselves and their
State, which consists in seeing TO it that
no step is taken at Staunton that will
cause dissension In the party in Virginia.

DEPEW TALKS 10 WOMEN.
Tells Them Of the Professional Wo-
mans Hard Lines.

New York, May 4-Dr- Chauncey M.
Depew. in a talk at Madison Square
Garden to the graduates Of the woman s
law class Of the New York university,
said.
There is much and just criticism Of
hard hearted employers who live and
thrive by cupping the life blood of their
employees but in many cases the en-
ployers cannot help themselves. Ninety
per cent of the value Of every article
Of commerce is labor. Cheap labor
too cheap to give the opportunity for
right living and right thinking-is one
Of the dangers of the future.
II q brother and sister equally
equipped, so out into the world for en-
plOments there are ten places open for
the brother where their is one FOR the
sister The result is that, while the
brother can find employment at re-
munerative wages, the sister is over
Whelmed by the surplus Of energy APP
plying for the things which she is per
mitted to do
The brother and sister are educated
for business The brother enters a
great banking or brokerage firm in
Wall street, and his sister. procures a
position with the same firm. Because
of this connection and its posi- bilfties
the brother is a welcome guest at every
gathering Of fashion, refinement and
exclusiveness, while the sister finds Few
invitations awaiting her 1t is for you,
young ladies, to preach and work
against this prejudice which is doing so
much harm to your sisters"

born IN Orleans, France, in 1927 and
was devoted to the Catholic church from
his earliest boyhOod. At p he was adj
mitted TO the priesthood and was promi-
nent as a student and as a teacher in sew
eral famous Catholic schools. At first he
was q member of the order of Domini-
cans, but went to Rome and for two
years shut himself up with the monks
at La Trappe. Then he returned to
France and became q Carmelite friar.
He was seeking at this time for monlzish
perfection. AS Carmelite he first at
tracted attention by his preaching. His
sermons were rather sensational, but
they attracted fashionable audiences,
and he was in such high favor that he
was appointed to preach in the famous
old church Of Notre Dame. Here he was
at the height of his power, but his lib
eral views soon got him into trouble
with the church authorities. He was
warned and then sharply rebuked. He
replied by declaring against the infalli-
bility Of the pope. The archbishop or
dered him to Rome, with instructions to
throw himself at the feet of the head OF
the church. He refused and was excOm-
municated.
Shortly after this, i'm 1870, he made
visit to the United States, where he at
tracted much attention. When he return
ed to Paris, he went about his task Of
reforming the church which had re-
nOunced him. He denounced both the
forced celibaoy Of priests and the confes-
sional as immoral. Then he met Mrs.
Merriam, an American widow of great
beauty and intelligence, who had been
converted to Catholicism. They were
married, greatly to the dismay of many
Of his followers. HIS efforts to found a
new church or reform the old one met
with but little success, but he has work
ed on. His wife died q few years ago.

FUN WITH A CIRCUS.
Two Hundred Students Assist in
Performance at Evanston.

Chicago, May 1.-Two hundred north
western university students took in"
the circus at Evanston and had things
pretty much their own way until IL
o'clock when the police assembled in
force and drove them away from the
vicinity of the tents.
The students sat together and sue
ceeded in dividing hOnors with the cir
Gus people The clown was guyed, and
when the band played Sunshine of
Paradise Alley the students sang the
lines. 1t seemed as though the band
could not play anything the students
did not know, and if they did happen
to stumble on a tune to which no com
poser has ever adapted to words,
the students were equal to the occa-
sion. They made the long meter do5r-
Ology fit My Queen" At intervals of
two or three minutes they helped out
with the college yell as an encourage
ment to the clown.
All the circus supernumeraries we're
massed in force under the students
seats to fOrestau a possible attempt to
carry off the tight rope walker or the
champion equestrienne, but nothing of
the sort happened. The students took
OFF their hats to the female performers
on their entry, acted as though the
jokes of the clown We're painful, and
turned their backs when they thought
the women performers were too scant-
lily clad.

Students Kit Upon a Novel Method to

Chicago. May 4-Last year the senior

not worth living without a bit of liter
airy distinction and the young medics
decided to issue n periodical and it was
called Pulse Contracts for the print
ing and engraving were let respectively
to the Rogers & Wells company and
the Binner company. The editors, in
time, ran out of cash and bills &C
cumulated amounting to S5Se with the
printers and $50 with the engravers.
The former brought suit.
Constable Fitzgerald of Justice Halls
court went to the college with the doc
ument which contained the names of
the Individual members of the class,
which numbers nearly 800 students. He
was admitted to the class, which was in
session, and upon making his errand
known to student the latter naively
walked to a big blackboard and wrote
the word Constable" Then none of
the class members would respond to
their names, as they were read for the
summons. The constable left in dis
