As THE capital of the vanquished
Confederate States invited the con,
ouerors to celebrate their victory in
that city, it is not at all strange that
the same city should have supplied the
material for the scandal in connection
with the use of history in Virginia
schools prepared by prejudiced or Ill
informed Northern writers. Before the
dire and disastrous war, Virginia people
liked to visit Richmond; but it is not so
now. Since then that city has become
thoroughly yaukeeized. and most OF
those who so there now, except on bus
ipess, are from the North.

SISTERS FOUGHT AN ANGRY
DEER

Miss Lois Dunton and her sister Em
ma, eighteen and sixteen years old re-
spectively, Of Hollis, l.. l., had an ex
citing adventure with deer Saturday
afternoon. The deer belongs to their
father and is kept in a paddock near
the house. The Misses Dunton are in.
terested III an entertainment to
rake place in the church chapel and
entered the paddock to obtain some
twigs to be used in decorating for the
entertainment,
The deer is young and powerful
animal. The two girls were busily en-.
gagged in gathering the sticks and did
not notice the approach of the deer IN.
til it was too close to admit of their es-
Gaping.
Miss Lois Dunton, when the deer
made rush for her and her sister,
grabbed the animal by the antlers and
a fierce struggle ensued. Her sister
gavs her all the aid she could to pre-.
vent the animal breaking away.
The peril of the two girls was discov.
cred by their mother, who had arrived
home from the chapel and had started
out to fpd them. When Mrs. Dunton
saw her daughters struggling with the
deer she screamed for help. Charles
Bauer, a workman employed about the
place, heard her cries and hurried to
the scene.
He boldly entered the paddock and
fought the deer while the young wo-
men made their escape. he, however,
was not as successful in battling with
deer as Miss Dunton had been. Ths
deer threw him and trampled upon
him and plunged its antlers deep into
his right groin and right leg.
Bauer managed to work Ms way up
to the fence and started to climb over.
The deer tossed him over the pickets
and he fell on .the ground outside the
fence.
He was carried into the house, where
he was attended By Dr.. Blanchard, and
removed to his home. The wound in
the groin was deep one and FIVE inches
long, but DR.. Blanchard says the man
will recover.
Mr.. Dunton was not at home at the
time, but on his return expressed sur
prise that his daughters should enter
the paddock, knowing as they did that
the deer was very wild and dangerous.
He had the animals sntlers sawed of.

THURSDAY EVENING. nov. IS, 1897

AMONG those whose names are men
toned as promoters Of the effort TO es
tshli.n national university at the
federsl capital, some Southern people
are observed, arc many Southern peo-
ple send their sons and daughters 10
Northern schools. Why such should
bs the case, the people referred to
must know, though few others OF theiT
own section do. Southern teachers
are lust rs competent and efficient as
those of the North, and Southern man
ners and customs are certainly no less re-
fined and agreeable. Southern Schools
to be sure, have not as much money as
those OF the North, but that condition
results from the fact that so many
Southern people who object to payirg
three hundred dollars year for a son
ar daughter at q school in the South,
nav six hundred at one in the North.
II was supposed that the war between
the States would have changed all this,
but now, as ever, there are people whc
if braveG in mortars will be the sane
still. Reasonable Southern people, with
money enough to devote to educational
purposes, will bestow it upon the
schools of their own section, rather
than upon those of the Northern States

They have collected from friends and
patrons Of the Capitol school the sum
OF s4O35, which sum they have expend.
ed in providing lattice work for the two
outhouses, owing grass seed and p:o
vidirg window boxes for the school
rooms. The committee desire to express
their gratitude for the encouragement
and substantial assistance rendered
them in their work by the city council,
the school board and the individuals OF
whom they purchased supplies; also. to

tendence Of the work OF preparing the
ground for. and sowing glass seed, the
