Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, lectured
on the highest education of woman in
Worcester, Mass, recently said: "Why
has so much money been given for this
work? Because people know now that the
search for knowledge does not make the
woman's heart have less love and the soul
less faith"
Mrs. A. E. Paul, the woman supervisor
of the street cleaning in Chicago, is thus
spoken of by her employees: "Woman
she comes in happy in morning and stay
so all day. She say "How do? and other
nice things, and than we do good work.
She see it and say so. That makes us feel
good and we work more. Woman all
right"

It's a Good 1fling

That our tastes don't all agree. Think
what an unhappy world this would be if all the
young men fell in love with one young woman, or if
all of the old men thought there 'only one girl
in,this world" 1t would leave lots Of wall-Aowers
on the bargain table, wouldn't it? Last week in one
of the plays in the Hall one Of the actors sad OK
cuse me Colonel and half of the audience roared
with laughter while others did not see the point.
During another scene another fellow heard to
break forth in ecstacy all alone; and in the most
ragical part of the play three others were bubbng
over with delight as tear drops trickled down the
cheeks of others. Strange, ant it, how tastes do
differ sometimes? Think how we'd feel if we all
thought alike Think how we'd look if weall dressed
alike The other day one man was looking at asut
here, and another man came along and said II
wouldn't wear that to dog fight" The first man
said he wasn't buying it to to dog fight be-
cause he didn't know the other fellow was going to
fight. That wasn't at all sociabe az we like
customers to be; but IL SHOWS now TASTES ulllel
We've got clothes fit to wear anywhere to
church. to Sunday school, to see your best girl, to
dog fight or most anywhere else. We've never been
in position to show so many different kinds of
clothes since we've been in business as we are now
We're somewhat in the position Of a visitor
who came out of the gate of the fair grounds few
days ago He said he saw many good looking Ia
dies in all directions that he wished he had more
eyes, and he said, hurrah! for old Tazewe. Strange
aint it, how tastes do agree sometimes. We've. got
so many good looking clothes that we wish we had
more room to show them
are showing Mems Suits from 81 to $25,
Mems Overcoats from $3.50 to $16.5O, Childrens
Suits from 81 to $6 Chldren's Overcoats from So to
So, Boys Suits from So to $50, Boys overcoats
from $3.50 to $3.50, and Macintoshes for men,

many good looking clothes in Tazewell at once, and
we II say you never saw a better lot. Come and
bring the boys.

Steam Boat Blows up.

Charleroi, Pa, Oct. 1S.-The boiler of
the steamer George B. Ford, belonging to
the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, ex-
ploded to-day, killing Captain James Ryan
and William Patterson, the cook, and de-
monishing the craft, which was moored
near the company's factory, at this point.
Patterson's body was blown 600 yards
upon the bank. Windows in the town of
Charleroi were broken by the shock of the
explosion. The engineer of the boat, who
was on board at the time, had marvellous
escape from death.

TUNNEL TO JERSEY CITY.
Plans for an Immense Project Before the
Brooklyn Aldermen.

New York, Oct. 19.-The plans for build
ing railroad tunnel from Brooklyn to
Jersey City under Manhattan Island prog
ressed another step today. William II.
Baldwin, president of the Long Island
railroad, and also president Of the tunnel
company, presented petition to the
Brooklyn board Of aldermen for the nec-
essary grent and franchises for operating
through and under the city. BY the terms
of tie Atlantic avenue improvement bill
passed last winter, the board Of aldermen
is authorized to grant right Of way through
the streets for the tunnel. As soon as this
right is granted the company must proceed
to secure by purchase or condemnation the
property necessary along the way.
The plans for the scheme contemplate
tunnel ranging to depth from three to one
hundred and thirty feet from the Flatbush
railroad station under the East and North
rivers to Jersey City. The tunnel is to be
twenty-five feet eight inches wide, and
fifty ard one-half feet high. 1t will con-
tain double track railroad, which is to be
operated by electricity. The tunnel will

VA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER q, 1897.

5000 were raised in Virginia, the value to
the State can readily be seen.
The bluegrass region comprised in this
State by Tazewell, Russell, Wise, Scott,
Lee, Wythe and Lynch counties mainly
furnishes the greater number, while quite
few are brought here from the upper
end of the Shenandoah valley. This has
only been accomplished through the work
of two or three men, and the United
States government is very stringent in its
orders and furnishes all the backing asked
for as result.-Norfolk Pilot.

SOME GOOD LAWS.

while The Times believe in as little law
nc nossible. II recognizes the fact 'hat
laws are necessary TO protect citizens III
their individual rights, TO hold IN checA
those who would trespass upon the rlghls
OF others and punish those VINO reiuse u
behave themselves. Men are not con-
s,derate by nature They are only grown
nm children after all, and 1t Is quite as
necessary that the conduct Of some men
should be regulated by the government
as that children should be made to obey
their parents.
This. by way OF mentioning three laws
that have been proposed within the past
week I'm as many States. In the hrst
n,ace we mention the ordinances pro
nosed I'm the city OF Baltimore forbid
ding. under penalty, all persons from eA-
pectorating upon car floors. This regu-
lation is not only In the interest or de-
cency but Of health. A man who has no
better manners than TO spit upon the
eoor of a car, which is constantly being
accounted bv ladies. should be disciplined
and the offence is by no means molihed
by 'dislnfecting his expectations WIN
tobacco. There was as much philosophy
as wit in the remark Of the professor, VINO
warned his class thus: Those who ex-
pect TO rate as gentlemen In this class
must not expectorate on the floor" But
apart from the indecency OF the thing 1t
is a scientific fact that germs of disease
are found In the sputum of consumptives
and public health demands that the dis
gushing habit OF splitting on the floor be
checked.
In the next place. We note that Mr.
Smithson, member OF the Tennessee
Senate. has introduced bill for protect
ing girls boarding schools against dudes.
We are not disposed TO be hard on the
BOYS. but It is a very sacred responsible
i,y for the principal OF a school TO have
under his care a number OF girls 10 train
I'm character as well as in mind. Que
very society rests upon the moral Of
such institutions. and 1t is not only just
10 the principal. but 1t Is necessary TO tho
welfare OF society that the protection OF
the law be thrown around the schools OF
the land where girls are educated.
In the third place. We mention bin
introduced IN the Legislature Of North
Carolina. 10 make IL a misdemeanor for
any person wilfully 10 disturb political
meeting or to interrupt speaker against
his will wfile making political address.
The bin was amended so as TO make 1t a
misGemeanor also for the speaker TO use
vulgar CT profare language in his dis
course. We believe that such law
should be enacted not only In North
Carolina, but in all States Of the Union.
During the late campaign in Virginia and
throughout the country. speakers were
iudely interrupted In political meetings.

eussing the important issues of the day.
