martial strains at intervals during the
sessions OF the body. and added to tho
llveliness Of the scene.
There were two features Of the gather

visitor pceping in out Of curiosity, and
would have convinced him that the
sound money cause is in able hands The
first and most noticeable Of those was the
good behavior and perfect order that
prevailed. There was no wrangins. no
stupid middle-of-thc-road bunoonery, no
Land-to-hand encounters, such as dis
graced the gathering at st. Louis. one
would have been dumbfOundcd To have
seen men walking around as members
Of factions with their theories stamped
on sacrlesious banners and participating
in other means of creating disorder and
chaos. There was The best Of order
throughout. Not a tilt took place. Har-

corum as one would expect to see among
a calm. deliberate and brainy body OF
statesmen as the best-behaved political
gathering ever assembled in the city OF
Richmond.
AN INTELLIGENT BODY.
Certain It is that no more intelligent
Ibody has assembled in Richmond for
years. The class of men who think for
themselves, and are not biased by fimsy

proval OF the three hundred men of in
teligence that sat in the audience. Men
representing all the important industries
and professions were present. and it was
evident at a glance that they favored
heart snd soul the noble movement FOR
the advancement or which the convention
had assembled.
Besides the delegates who occupied
nearly an the seats ia the lower part
OF the auditorium, there was n large
gathering of interested spectators and
listeners in tho dress circle. while the
upper gallery was nearly full Of people.
Among those who occupied places on
the stage were: John l.. Williams, Bar

Furious Objections.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Dec. 3O.--Ilvoie Dix
the Mohawk Indian, who eloped with
Miss 1nez Newman, from Albany, Nc.
on Christmas eve, has returned, hav-

peace at Albany. where he was taken

astonished her parents and acquaint-

she can love the repulsive looking red
man. Miss Newman is the daughter
of respectable parents. She is 20 years
old and still says she will marry the
Indian. Ivole Dix is a half breed Mo-

SCORED BY ST. JOHN.
The Prohibition Leader tbs
Eanaaa CnvernOr.

The Prohibition Leader Denounces this
Kansas Governor.
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 80 -Ex-Govern-
or John P. st. John made q speech at
Hamilton hall last night in which he
paid his respects to Governor r. n.
Morrill, in a highly sensational man
ner. 1t was an extemporaneous effort,
prompted by Governor Morrill's late
declaration in favor of State control OF
the liquor traffic. Ex-Governor st.
John came to Topeka to attend n meet
ing of the Prohibition State com
mittee, and friends hired a hall and
advertised the meeting. AS a result
an immense crowd turned out to hear
the speech.
"Governor Morrill, saws that he is a
temperance. man." said Governor st.
John. II believe that is true. But
Governor Morrill, is a politician before
everything else. He is trying to get
in line with his party. 1t will not do
to have a prohibition Republican party
in Kansas and a whisky Republican
party in Missouri. That is why Gov
ernor Morrill, comes out for State con-
troll. He is doing the best he can. The
Quays and the Dudleys have issued
their edict, and he is trying to obey it.
They have looked over the country
and counted 100000 saloons and less
than a fourth that many churches.
They prefer the saloon vote to the
church vote, and Governor Morrill, is
helping them to get it. He can't help
himself. He went into office bound
and gagged, and he hasn't the back
bone to disengage himself"
Governor St John concluded by of
fering a resolution denouncing Gov
ernor Morrill's plan, or any other plan
which would tend to do away with the
present prohibitory law. The resolu-
ton vas adopted without a dissenting
voice, although many of the audience
did not vote at all.

AGAINST THE WOOL DUTY.
Argentlna Suggests That south America

ArgentInA Suggests That South America
BE Relieved OF the Tax.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 81 - Senator
Voorhees, presented in the Senate to.
day a communication from Senior j. ".
Dominguez, charge d affaires Of the
Argentine legation in this CITY, bear
ing upon the relations between Argen-
tine and the United States, as affected
by the tariff, which it is proposed to
levy on wool under the House revenue
tariff bill. Senior Dominguez says:
II, as is apparent, the United States
wishes to cultivate closer rela-
tions with the South American
republics, it would be greatly to be
desired that this market should not be
shut up to one of the chief products of
the Argentine Republic. In order that
there should lot be any interruption
IN the good feeling now existing and
to avoid disturbing the commercial re-
lations between the two countries the
Undersigned ventures to ask whether
IL could not be suggested that in con-
sldering the bill the proposed duty
should be made to apply only to coun-
tries other than South America"
Mr.. Dominguez calls attention to
the fact that the principal European
nations admit South American wool
free OF duty, and asks how, if Con-
gress desires friendly and close rela-
ions between this country and other
American states, it can pass a measure
which will exclude from this market
the chief product of one of the South
American countries. After some de-
bate the communication was referred
to the committee on finance.

THE RAMSEY CASE.
Eondsmen OF the Late Treasurer OF
Illinois Sued for Thousands.

Eondsmen of the Late Treasurer OF
Illinois Sued for Thousands.
CARLYLE, ILL.,, Dec. 3O.-Next Thurs
day the suit against the Chicago bonds
men of the late State Treasurer Ram
sey of Illinois, will be heard. It is
important to hundreds of depositors
in the Ramsey bank, as on the result
will depend whether or not they will
receive back the money placed in the
hands of one who was highly esteemed
as a townsman and official and who
was thought to be wealthy.
The SUIT is to test the validity Of the
claim of the five Chicago bondsmen for
$685. 0O. representing the amount due
the State from Mr.. Ramsey. which
they paid into the treasury to make
good the shortage. It is said the Chi.
cago banks paid no interest to Mr..
Ramsey for the use of the State money
and therefore the creditors here are
entitled to it. An attempt will be
made to prove this point at the coming
suit.

Four American citizens, Charles
Joiner, George Miner. Alfred Heard
and Thomas Caldwell, arrived at Chu-
quisaca last week after a five
weeks journey from Brazil. They had
peen working in Brazil for years
and had amassed considerable money,
which they were taking home.
They remained several days in
Chuquisaca, spending n and
gambling freely. Tuesday Miner
accused Pebe Gonzales, the acting
mayor of Chuquisaca, of having
cheated by playing marked cards, and
offered to prove the assertion. Con
zales drew a pistol, but was knocked
down by Joiner. A general fight en-
sued, in which thirty persons threw
themselves on the Americans. When
the police arrived they arrested the
Americans and let the natives go free.
The Americans We're taken to a filthy
Jail and left two nights and one day
without food. They had a semblance
of a trial, in which they were accused
of being spies. They were not allowed
to send a message to the American
consul, and We're sentenced to be shot.
The sentence was executed Thursday
noon publicly. The horses and other
property Of the men have disappeared,
but it is known that Gonzales has dis
tributed them among his friends and

Mrs. Tabitha Warren, nee Bell, be-
loved wife of John Warren, after a
painful illness of more than three
months, died at the residence of her
son, John L. Warren, near Pungo-
league, Accomac Co., February 18th,
1896, aged II years, month, and 90
days. She protested faith in Christ
while quite young, was baptized by
Rev. Asa Dix, and united with the
Red Bank Baptist Church, North
ampton Co., near which she was born
and reared, of which she remained
member many years. Removing to
Accomac, she transferred her men,
bership to Hollies Baptist Church, of
which she was member until she
Joined the church triumphant.
Obedient to her request, her remains
were placed by loving hands, in the
Hollies Cemetery. SO far as the
writer ever knew, she was faithful in
all the relations of life as daughter,
wife, and mother; and faithful to her
Church, and to her Lord and Savior.
Her open and hospitable house, until
misfortune came, was a home for
many a weary child of God, as such
men DIS Tie Silutcu OidOlOlO slhO
Boston could testify. She was mar
ried to John Warren, in January
1913, by his brother, Rev: Patrick
Warren. and lived in this relation
more than As years. To them were
born children, whom they endeavored
to train UP in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord and who
were a source of great comfort to her.
Having. lived in the Lord, and for
Him, she died, conscious to the last,
in the full triumpbs of faith. She
leaves an aged husband and six
children to mourn a great loss. which
to her is an infinite gain. Of such as
she, it may be truly said, Blessed
are the dead which die in the Lord,
