Mo MIlagno died yesterday most horrible
death. Thanksgiving day Antonio be-

m ore liquor. He fell and his wife came to

glee and cursing like demon. When he
was arrested he raved and had to be sub
jected to rough trea ment before he could
Oe taken to the police station.

WASHINGTON LETTER

The return of Consul General Lee
caused rumOr that some decisive
action regarding Cuba was about to
be taken by this government but
Gen. Lee, who has learned to talk
Spanish and grown diplomatic, says
he knows of nothing important in
that connection. When asked ii he
expected to return to Cuba at the ex-
piration of the thirty days, Gen. Ice
avoided a direct answer. Secretary
Sherman stated III most positive
terms that there was nothing of i'm
pOrtance connected with Gen. Lees
return to the United States. he al
SO says that the report, cabled from
Madrid that Gen. WO0dford had
made a proposition on behalf of this
government to purchase Cuba from
Spain was without the slightest
foundation.
In talking of his recent trip
through the West, Secretary Wilson
said he told the farmers of the ARID
section that he was opposed to the
appropriation Of money by Congress
to build storage reservoirs for irriga-
tiou purposes, and thought such work
should be done by private capital
He also said that it was a mistake tC

AS TO LYNCHING.

Many papers are worrying
themselves about the punish.
meut tor rape. which ought vi"
ways to mean rope. and good
deal of cheap talk is spreading
over the country. To our mind
the cause of all this crime is the
laxity of the laws and their mons
enforcement. What is CALLING to
vii good citizens lie that when q
brute lie convicted, and be is no
matter what his color, he is par
dOned too easily and set at hber~
ty TO annoy a community he has
disgraced,
What we want is better educR-
ton and people be taught that
freedom IL the heritage of All,
and that ell law should Ana
muOt bo respected. There may
be pslliating circumstances fOT
CASES Of murder, but the people
say and mean it. There is noue
for rape.
Let the laws be properly en-
forced, less hung iuries, and few
or purdoms, and the animals will
stay where they belong for fear
of punishment.

THE DANNILLE RESOLUTIONS.

At the meeting held last week in Dan
vile TO elect delegates 10 the Roanoke
Convention, the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved ], That we reaflirm and an
no nee our uncompromising allegiance to
the Democratic platform adopted last year
at Chicago, it being the clearest, truest
and most vigorous declaration of Demo-
cratic principles enunciated within our
generation; a declaration which has uni
fed the party as never before, and in
proof of its righteousness, has caused the
oppressors Of the people 10 yell with op-
probrious epithets, and TO call for COM
promise and modification.
2. That there should be no modih-
cation OF hat platform in word or letter;
no step backward.
8. That our delegates are instructed 10
procure the adoption. i'm substance. of the
above two resolutions at the state Con-
vcntion to be held at Roanoke.
ON motion. the mass-meeting adjourned.
AS no protest was offered TO the adop-
ton of these resolutions, we infer that
no Democrat was present who refused
last year to support the Chicago plat
form, and there are many such Demo-
Gratis in Danville.

A BridegroOm's Decorated Trunk.

The embarrassing experience Of the
bride and bridegroom who went to Nor
ristown, n. j., several days ago, says
the New York sun, not expecting TO at
tract any attention, and found that their
baggage had been so labeled that they
couldn't AVOID being conspicuous, recalls
the experience that a Pennsylvania rail-
road man had at a New York hotel last
fall. He was a popular man and every
baggage-handler along the road was inter-
ested in his marriage. He left town with
his bride promptly after the ceremony,
and when ia inspected his trunk at the
station there was no distinguishing mark
to indicate that it was the property or
a newly married man. The trunk was
checked right through TO New York, and
when its owner arrived in Jersey cry he
gave his baggage check To a transfer
agent and "a ed that his baggage be sent
at once to a ~well-knOwn Broadway hotel
There was no rice in his pockets. and
when ne arrived at the hotel and register
cd Mr.. and Mrs. John Blank he iatter-
ed himself thtt no one would suspect him
of being a new,y-wedded man. An hour
later he heard a great noise i'm the trunk
room. and be went into investigate IL.
In the centre of a crowd OF bell boys,
porters and hotel lOungers was his trunk,
that had left his native town in good con-
dition. Some one had vanished II with
glue and then sprinkled rice all over H..
Half a dozen pairs of old shoes wer fas-
tened to the Top with screws. and every
baggage man dong the line had tackled on
a message conveying his congratulations
and adyice. The trunk was a curiosity
>and II took one Of the porters half a
day to scrape Ii clean.
