The COMMITTEES REPORT.-The
committee of the Virginia Lepisla-
turs which for some time had been
investigating the charges preferred
against the management of the In
stltution for the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind at Staunton, made its report
TO the Legislature last week. The
committee reports:
lat. That the immoral conduct of
Mr.. Yates in 1890, while teacher in
the institution, with Miss Riggs, is
sustained by the evidence. Mr..
Yates left the institution in 1892 and
went to Arkansas where he now re-.
sides.
IND. The charge of immortality of
Mr.. Bear, one of the teachers in 1884.
with Miss Hollywood is not sustained
3rd. The improper use of whiskey
by Mr.. Humbert and Mr.. Mccain
bridge, now teachers in the institu.
ton, is sustained.
4th. Professor Euritt, one of the
teachers now in the institution, in
years back had been a hard drinker,
but the evidence is clear that he has
reformed and has not drunk for
about three years.
9th. The charge of cruelty of
teachers to pupils is not sustained by
the evidence.
9th. The evidence does not sustain
the charge that Capt. Tbos. S. Doyle
is hard drinker, but it is a fact that
the pupils know that Captain DOYLE
does occasionally take a drink. and
it seems to make a bad impression
on the pupils. AS to the charge of
Captain Doyle's not being faithful
and attentive to his duties as princi.
pal, it is not sustained by the evi.
dence.
The committee also recommended
the removal of the present board of
directors and the appointment of a
new board.

BEATEN AGAIN.-In the Senate
on the 25th ult., Mr.. Morrill, made
another effort to get the House tariff
bill before the Senate for considera-
ton, but the effort failed-the vote
standing, nays 33, yeas %, or ma
Jority of 10 against consideration
of the bill. The venerable old Sena-
tor was completely disheartened and
declared the tariff bill dead. He
was evidently much displeased with
the Republicans who voted against
his motion. Mr.. Teller, Republican
of Colorado, spoke with much spirit
and vehemence in reply to Mr.. Nor
rill, declaring that he and his free
silver associates could not be read
out of the Republican party because
of their votes on the tariff bill. Mr..
Carter, Republican, Of Montana, and
Chairman ofthe Republican National
Committee, also spoke Al great length
and with much ability in explana-
ton of his vote. He declared the
House bill unnecessary and criticised
the gold bug Republican Senators as
holding a position on the silver ques-
ton Inconsistent with the party's
platform.

Judge Geo. W. Bennett.

The following signed Democrat"
and dated from Clarksburg, appeared
in the Wheeling Register in January.
The Weston Democrat reproduces
the article that all may understand
Judge Benefits position:
The position of Judge George
Bennett, of Weston, upon the guber-
material question has not been cor
rectly stated to the public. True, he
is not candidate for the position,
in the sense of making a canvass for
the nomination. Yet 1t is equally
true that if the party, in convention,
shall regard him as an available can
didate and shall nominate him, he
Will accept the nomination and make
an active, energetic campaign
Judge Bennett ranks well up among
the most talented and distinguished
men and Democrats Of the State.
He would reorganize the party and
rally around him his workers, and
give to us a campaign, from start to
finish, of energy. brains, pluck and
fight that would route the Republi-
cans, re-establish the supremacy of
our party, and give to the State one
of the best Governors it has ever
had"
Judge Bennett had large follow
ing in this and surrounding counties,
when a candidate for gubernatorial
honors in 1892. No one questions
his eminent fitness for the office, and
we have no doubt that, as the candi-
date Of the party, he would be en-
tirely acceptable to the Democracy
OF the State at large, and thus the
most available man the party could
nominate. He is known as a man
OF ability and high character, and is
acknowledged to be one of the best
Circuit Judges the State ever had.

Wire Rings for Celery.

A Virginia correspondent of the
Practical Farmer writes: One of the
most valuable suggestions | can make
to gardeners, market gardeners in
particular, is to get some galvanized
wire, either No. 13 or IA, cut it into
pieces a foot long, bend these into
rings around piece of inch and a
half pipe Gnside measure, or a round
piece of wood about two inches in di-
ameter, letting the ends lap, and put
these rings away for future use. This
can be done in bad weather or during
the long winter evenings.
A pound of galvanized and anneal-
ed No. - wire will make about forty
four such rings; pound of No. IA,
about fftynine rings. At present
prices Of wire, fifteen of the former
will cost cent, while of the latter
twenty will cost cent. In other
words, the heavier rings cost six and
two-thirds cents per hundred, and the
light ones five cents per hundred.
With ordinary care they will last
lifetime.
Now, after transplanting your eel
cry, and it is started to grow, slip
ring over each plant. When the time
comes to fill in more earth, slip up the
rings. They will hold your leaves to-
gether, while the pressure of these
will keep the rings from drop
these will keep the rings from drop
ping back. If your plants are too fee
bic, compress the rings little; if too
robust, expand them. Repeat the OPP
GRAFTON at every ''filling in" This
will save you lots of time and back
ache in case you have been ''handball-
ing" 1t will prevent the need of an
extra man if you have pursued the
board method. Try it.
At the end of the season gather up
the rings. They can be kept so they
will be as good twenty years hence as
on the day you first began to use the
rings.

Sweet Potatoes Utilizing the Vines.

Sweet Potatoes Utilizing the Vines.
The digging of sweet potatoes will
soon claim attention. 1t is we'll to de-
fer this till settled cool weather. 1t
is not necessary to wait for killing
frost, though a light frost is a good
indication that it is cool enough to
dig. Avoid digging, if possible, when
the vines are growing rapidly. When
growth has almost or quite ceased
and the leaves begin to turn yellow,
it will be safe to begin. The rule
with many is to break potato. Ii 1T
dries rapidly and the broken surface
remains white when dry. they say the
potato is ripe and ready to be dug; IL
it turns dark, it is not. The fact that
the surface remains white, is an indl-
cation that starch is present in large
quantities, and this is the case in the
fully matured tuber. A young potato
is not as mealy as an old one, and
starch is the cause of mealiness.
Before digging it is we'll to dispose
of the vines. They are excellent food
for milk COWS, making them give the
finest milk and butter. 1t is next to
impossible to cure the vines They
must be eaten green or put in the
silo. If the potatoes have been put
out early and about completed their
growth, the vines may be taken off
week or two before digging without
injury to the tubers. They may be
