OLD GLORY OF THE r. F. VS..
Virginia Womanhood Is Unchanged,
lnt the Man Ara nnnnnnrnAin.

Virginia Womanhood Is Unchanged
but the Men Are Degenerating.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
On a night the past week the annual
ball, the season event, was given at
White Sulphur Springs. Virginia
womanhood was on exhibition, and a
magnificent display it was. Powdered,
court-plastered, CARRIED in the styles of
colonial days, these daughters of Vir-
ginia trooped in from the cottages till
they filled the spacious ballroom. The
floor was cleared, and the high-bred
damsels moved through the stately
measures of minuet. The sight was
one to warm the blood of a Puritan.
There is no degeneracy in the Virginia
woman. On the feminine side the +.
+. V. is living reality.
Our girls" said an old Virginian,
sitting in corner of the room and
following with kindling eyes the inde-
scribably graceful sweep of the long
lines over the floor, "are bred and
trained just as carefully as they were
When Virginia was at the zenith of her
glory. Their physical health, their ed

While still in the air, 1t is quite GER
tain that something will come OF the
recent agitation in France and Algeria
IN favor of a trans-Saharan railroad
as a strategic, political and CONNER
cial necessity. We know that the
French have made Algeria one Of the
best mapped parts of the world, that
they have built 100 miles of railroad
in the colony, and that Algeria is look
ing across the desert to the rich central
and western Soudan as a source of
trade, capable of enormous expansion
which may be drawn to her marts The
outline of the plan is to build a narrow
gauge road from southern Algeria
through a series of oasis to Timbuctoo,
and to connect this point by rail with
Senegambia on the southwest, and on
the east with the fertile regions of the
central Soudan as far as Lake Tchad.
Three projects for this railroad have
been studied by order Of the French
government. These proposed routes,
with the project for shorter line, hav-
ing an ocean terminus at Cape Nun, are
indicated on a map which has been
published The Russians have proved
in central Asia that desert railroad
building is practicable.

DAWSON CITY'S SPINSTER.

There is only one unmarried woman
IN Dawson City. And it is said that a
woman does not need to be possessed
of remarkable attractions to win offers
of marriage by the score.
The one spinster of the place has had
to present a steely face and a flinty
heart to the public. Cupid's arrows are
reported to have fallen thick and fast
around her. She has refused every sin
gle man in the place. They-the WOO
ers-have come with hands uplifted
and with knees bent in the true, old
fashioned adorer style. In the uplifted
hands they have held gold bags as
heavy as could be borne. They have

Assistant Attorney General Van De-
vanter Of the interior department has
prepared, and Acting Secretary Ryan
has approved, decision which will be
of considerable interest to the public
land states. Section of the act of
March 2, 1889, authorized those who
had partially exercised their homestead
privilege to make an additional entry
of public land, so as to make a full
quota OF $50 acres. Heretofore this
section has been construed as applying
only to those who had partially exer-
cised their homestead privilege before
the passage Of the act, but this new de-
cision overrules the former opinions,
and holds that this section equally ap-
plies to all who took less than 100 acres
after the date of the act. The decision
says that it was the evident intention
of congress to provide means where
by every homesteader might acquire
title to 160 acres Of land.

presidential ONCE could be found, and
that no man has accomplished services
to the island which could better entitle
him to the honor. Cisneros is said to
have admired Masso so much that he
offered to resign in his favor when
he heard that Masso was spoken OF for
the office.
Masso Is one OF three brothers who
learned from their own father indy
Ing hatred to Spain, and who got their
first lesson in warfare in their fathers
company during the ten years war that
ended in 1874. The father was a half
Spaniard and the mother a Congo
negress. Despite the partial Spanish
descent there is not a drop of blood in
Masso's veins that flows in sympathy
with the Spanish cause. So bitterly
did he fight during the former war,
when the chances for Cuban success
were not thousandth part as good as
they are now, that he rose to the rank
of major general. After the restoration
of peace the Masses reconciled them
selves, as far as the name of the thing
went. with Spain and took the oath
of allegiance, thus escaping punish
ment. They soon, however. Joined
Garcia, the bandit, in his road" move
ments and were somewhere in hiding
in the Santiago de Cuba Mountains
when the present revolution broke out.
General Masso is a naturalized Ameri
can citizen. He secured his papers
while working for Colonel Figuerado
at Tampa some years ago: Although
possessed of little education, and un-
able to read English, Masso is a man
of considerable intellect, and lie has
picked up a vast amount Of informa-
tion on all subjects through converse
ton. While able to talk we'll on many
topics he is deficient in arithmetic, ard

Prince Bismarck, according to the
latest reports, is very careful what he
drinks and how he smokes. He re-
fuses cigars, but smokes a big pipe.
And nothing will induce him to drink
claret; he confines himself vigorously
to beer, champagne, hook, whisky and
brandy. We suppose this must be I'M
der the direction of the famous physi-
clan who compels the prince to take
good, abstemious care Of himself.

The choir of a Babylon, Long Island,
church refused to sing because the con-
gregation insisted on joining in the ex-
ercises. This produces a new question.
1t Is proper to pay clergyman for do
ing the religion, in the way of prayer
and preaching, of several hundred per-
sons. 1t was once argued that congre-
gational singing only was proper in a
church, the opposite side of the ques-
ton being something of an absurdity,
as If one were to hire ones servant to
do his eating and his praying for him.
But surely neither the choir nor the
preacher ought to monopolize the wor-
Shipping as public or private right.

A Russian chemist says he has dis

is said to be compelled to use bis
fingers in counting. Masso is a Co.'S
mopolitan, physically as well as other
ways. He has kinky hair, teeth like an
Irish bulldog, and white wife wlom
he found at Key West. Undying hatred
of everything Spanish is the food and
drink of his everyday life.

Since Mr.. Havemeyer announced that
the fruit packing season was likely to
result in an increase in the price Of
sugar, it might be well for him to ex-

ready for distribution, and which I'M
