DIR. HAWTHORNE FAILING.
The WeII-KnOwn baptist Minister
Almost Broken Down.
IN Atlanta dispatch OF The Eth sa

An Atlanta dispatch Of the 18th says:
DR.. ]. -. Hawthorne, the well-known
Baptist preacher, has gone to Florida
for his health. which is poor. On Sun
day. at the First Baptist church, DR..
Landrum read a letter from Dr. Haw-
thorne. stating that he was in badly
broken health, and that his trip to Florida
was to regain his health.
For more than a year DR.. Hawthorne
has been I'm bad health. Before he left
Atlanta for Nashville. his new charge,
his health was failing. Since his resi-
dence in that city it has not Improved;
in fact has grown worse.
In taking charge Of his Nashville con-
gregation. he went into n new community
and his work in the beginning was
greater than while in Atlanta. Though
his health was failing. he did not falter
in his duties. and, with increased ardor'
ne entered this new field with less vigor
than when he left Atlanta.
He is now almost a physical wreck, 1t
IS said
In his letter. which was read Sunday
before his old congregation, he stated
that his health was gone; that he was
on his way to Florida TO make one last
effort TO regain IT, II will be either to
regain that once healthful constitution,
or. as he states. to give up hope Of ever
being strons again.
The reading Of the letter affected every
person i'm his congregation. DR.. Haw-
thorne is not Of a respondent nature but
his letter was a sad one TO its hearers.
DR.. J. y. Hawthorne was one OF the
most popular men Of this city, and since
he has been away many new friends re-
allied his worth 10 this community. lie
had. at the time he left, the largest
charge Of any pastor i'm the city. His
church was crowded TO the doors on Sun
days. and during the last year here the
church was too small for his many ad-
mirers. and hardly a Sunday passed that
hundreds were not turned away.

A peculiar haziness of the atmosphere
in St. Louis recently made it possible Tor
observers to see the new and big spot on
the sun with the naked eye. Professor
II. s. Pritchett. of Washington UniVer-
sitv. measured the spot and said it was
200 miles long and $500 miles wide.
The next largest one is 300 miles
long and 400 miles wide, and there Is
quite a flock of others. from 500 to l'OVo
miles in diameter. strung along like
sort of tail 10 the big one. The entire
disturbed area IS about $500 miles long
and 1000 miles wide.

The complexion of the United states
Senate after March 18th is now beginning
to occupy the serious attention OF the
Republican leaders at Washington. Tor
as IL now seems pretty well assured
that an extra session Of Congress WIZ

at which an effort will be made 10 pass
n tariff dill suited TO the needs Of the
country speculation as 10 the chances OF
such measure has turned TO serious cal
culation. and those States which are yet
to elect senators are being anxiousy
watched in the hope that a Republican
majority will be finally and absolutely as
sured. At the present moment this ma
jority Is lacking. Republican leaders AT
Washington who profess TO know, point
out that there will be ninety members OF
the new Senate, and II Mr. Pritchard, OF
North Carolina. is reelected; Repuoi-

A correspondent of the New York Sun
calls attention to the fact that in the
text of the arbitration treaty Is this ex-
preston: Judges of the Supreme Court
of the United states or Justices of the
Circuit Courts."-ATticle VI.
This, says the correspondent, is a GU
rious mistake in such a ceremonlous
document. in the drafting of which
lawyer Of Mr.. Olney's high standing had
much to DO. The phrase should have
been: justices Of the United States
Supreme Court or Judges Of the Circuit
Court

The New York Herald's Washington cor
respondent thinks it exceedingly doubtful
whether during the present session Of
Congress the two-thirds vote in the Sem
ate necessary 10 a ratification of she new
general arbitration treaty between this
country and Great Britain can be Sc
cured. The Herald's correspondent then
proceeds 10 analyze the standing of the
senator's on the question Of ratification
under these three heads: Favorable 10
the Treaty" ~; Favorable II Modifica-
lions are Made" 20; Against Ratifca-
ton" Is. The two Virginia senator's,
Daniel and Martin, are put down as IA
yorable TO the treaty as it now stands.
one senator who is opposed 10 ratifica-
ton is quoted as giving the following,
among other reasons. why favorable sena-
torial action on the treaty Is doubtful:
Nothing would please some OF the
Democratic senator's more than to gan
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney, even at
the expense of an arbitration treaty with
Great Britain"
AS we have frequently stated, we differ
widely with Mr.. Cleveland on some ques-
tions. and think his course during the
last campaign open TO the severest criu-
cism. but we must say that opposition TO
the treaty inspired by such a motive as Is
above noted partakes OF the character OF
most enthusiastically picayune politics.

bristol NeWS)
Every Virginian should feel proud of
the capital city Of his State, not only
because it is one of the most beautiful
and historic cities in the South. but be-
cause of the enterprise Of its citizens
and businessmen. Very few cities in the
Union have made such wonderful strides
in progress as Richmond has within the
last thirty years. And now that there
is promise Of revival Of prosperity in
the land, her wideawake citizens are
preparing TO profit by the first rising

Cost of "a Bcet-sugar Factory.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In the republication in your issue to-
day Of the article from the Southern
Planter on "Beet Sugar Production in
Virginia" a serious error is made which
ask you to correct. l said the amount
required to be invested in the smallest
sugar-factory to which could be operated
with profit was 100000. This amount is
stated in your columns to be $4,000. EX-
perience has shown that no factory
costing so small n sum as $1,000 can be
successfully operated. The most success
full ones have millions invested in the
plant. Yours truly,
