WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 1s, 1897

TIE Washington Star says: war
against sp armed foe is terrible and Is
ALWAYS intended so to be, but war
against the helpless, such as General
Weyler has been waging against the
non.combatants in Cuba, is without a
yestige of excuse among civilized peo-
p.e." All of which is true. But doesn't
the Star remember the famous, or rath'
er Infamous, order No. II, issued by
General Ewing in Missouri, during
the war between the States 10 this
country, by which the women and
children of large rural section OF that
State were driven into the cities and
their homes RACED? Has it forgotten
that General Hunter burned the houses
OF the women and children in Virginia
over their heads, or General Sheridan's
heartless report about his work in the
Valley or the twenty miles wide swath
of FIRE and repine that General Sher'
man cut through Georgia, and his order
driving the women and children OF the
Confederate soldiers of Atlanta out OF
that city and into the desolate wilderness
into which he had transformed large
norton of that State? The admins
tratiou's thick and thin supporter in
Washington should know that it is not
wise for people who live in glass houses
to throw stones.

to throw stones.

JUDGE ROGER a. PRYOR, formerly OF
Virginia, but now OF New York, has de
cided that the cursing of wife by her
husband affords her sufficient ground
for obtaining a divorce. Now, while
the man who curses his wife Is decided
ly lacking in the Difference and respec'
he should always pay to the woman ne
has married, it is just as true that occa-
sionally, in moment of irritation, 8
curse word may occasionally slip from
his lips, and divorces are far too common
already to need any stimulant to their
increase. Divorces in the better days OF
the country were of rare occurrence
but of recent years they have become
30 numerous that they give rise to no
special wonder. A destroyed home not
only blights all those who lived it, but
has q more or less injurious effect upon
all who know them.

CONGRESSMAN WALKER, of Virginia,
though signing an address stating that
the Lynchburg convention "only oper-
ates to dishesrten and demoralize the
republican party of the State" says he
will support the action of that
convention to the full extent OF
his power. But members of his
own party say the Generals political
power has departed from him, not only
among the voters of his own party in
his own district, but with the admins
tration, if he ever had any with the
latter, as it has refused to regard his re.
commentators for either district at
torney or assistant, or marshal in bis
own district.

{, acks on nc,ln -..-.s, from Oro-
u 90 srre-' .~.ut midway between
Csmclvp 81. z cen streets, was read,
rs wqs pcu.lon of Charles King &
: :. Geo. Z. Hill Co., and others asking
that the application be granted.
Mr.. Uhler said that this extension
on Lee street would be for the benefit
Of the city, as the coal. etc, could be
delivered directly at the gate of the
Gas Works. The work was intended
for the benefit of the merchants on
north Lee street so that they could ship
goods by the car load directly in front
of their establishments. The company
agreed to keep the street in repair.
Mr.. Snowden said that he thought
that the railway companies should do
more than keep the street in repair.
1t had come to his knowledge that one
railroad company received S15, 900 an
nually from other company for track.
age on Union street, yet nothing was
paid the city. He urged that time be
taken to consider the subject.
Several members said that Union
street had been paved by the railway
company.
Mr.. Snowden wished to give the mer.
chants and railway companies every IA
cility for doing business, but wanted
the city's interests protected.
The subject was postponed until the
next meeting.
When the question of putting down
cutters on Oronoco street, &C., was
again called up an opinion of the Cor
porstion Attorney was read saying that
the work could be done aud charged to
the property holders under the SD sec.
ton of the charter.
Mr.. Moore asked if the city had not
inst lost case under the 33d section.
Mr.. Smith.-But it is the amended
33i section which authorizes the work.
Mr.. Burrill opposed the effort to
compel payment by the city for gutter
ing in one portion OF the city and not
in others. He thought there should
re equality in the matter.
Mr.. Snowden moved that the further
consideration of all street Improvements
be- pos; poned. The city had work
enough on streets to keep its force busy
until frost, and the city had expended
the utmost dollar for the present. Over
$l4 600 had already been appropriated
Tor the streets and excellent work done.
Mr.. Smith deprecated stopping the
work now.
Mr.. Snowden was in favor Of general
street improvements, but not Of street
work intended for the benefit of q few
citizens only. If those cutters were q
nuisance the property owners there
should be RI quired to abste such nui-
sances and the city should not be made
10 pay.
Mr.. Snowden's motion was adopted
Z to 4.
Mr.. Beach introduced an ordinance
prohibiting railway engines, &C., from
interruptipg funeral professions or pass
ing through them, Sc. He said it had
been introduced because funeral pro.
cession had been cut in two recently
ny an electric car train.
Mr.. Strider suggested that fire ell.
gines be exempted.
The ordinance was adopted, yeas Is

JOINT MEETING.
The Aldermen were then invited to
the chamber of the Common Council
and joint meeting convened to elect
the Overseer of the Outdoor Poor.
On the assembling of the convention
Mr.. VIM. c. Shock was nominated and
unanimously reelected Overseer.
No other matter occasioned debate
and after longer session than usual
the board adjourned.

IT WOULD be we'll if the democrats OF
Virginia should heed what the republi-
can from their State now in Washing
ton says, as reported in the Gazette's
correspondence from that city OF to
days date. Though few of the few
white leaders of the Virginia republicans
NAV squabble about the federal patron
age in their State, the vote of all the real
strength of their party will be cast for
the party's legislative tickets, and az
the democrats in many Of the counties
are dissatisfied with their nominees, for
different reasons, it is not at all improb-
able that lack of ENTHUSIASM and party
spirit may result in the loss of several
counties which are now considered
perfectly safe-by people who don't live
in them.

The way to correct this condition is
to improve the digestion. The condi-

Mr.. Moore responded that in one year

One progressive housekeeper declares
that cheesecloth has removed from her
4 lifelong burden-th@greasy dishcloth.
she keeps the kitchen supplied with the
cloths neatly hemmed made from the
coarse three or four cent quality. These
want good hard washing and
rubbing when new to take out any stiff
fening they may own and reduce them
to that absorbing state which is their
greatest benefcence As easily as tn ey
bsorb, they free themselves from
grease. and the daily washing in hot
.soapsuds that in the case of a linen or
wool cloth does not half cleanse, keeps
the cheesecloth sink and dish cloths
thoroughly clean. Another acceptable
service of the many to which the mate
rial lends itself in household economy
is the emergency teaball. A little bag
made with string to draw up and
wind around the neck is a cleanly and
satisfactory way to make tea, as good
in its results as the expensive teaball.

An authority advises the proper
dress when sitting for photograph Is
an important element to the success of
the picture. Striking patterns, such
as large plaids, wide stripes, much Jet
or sliJtering thinning or jewelry
should be avoided. Shiny materials,
like lustrous silk or satin, produces a
poor effect The tone of color should
harmonize with the sitter's complexion
and hair, sharp contrasts being undesir-
able The line between flesh and
dress at neck and wrists should be soft
ened by being yelled with lace or some
flmy material The best fabrics to
wear before the camera are soft woolens

There is, if one looks for it, a reason
behind most so-called fashionable Gus
toms. The ceremony of prefacing a
dinner with light course is not only
good form, but has a distinct dietetic
cause of being. A physician will ex-
plain why light first course taken
slowly is of value. A person comes to
the table tired and hungry, and needs
first something to stimulate the secre-
tions of the stomach This is found
easiest in a few spoonfuls of hot, well
seasoned soup. Then the joint and veg
etables can be taken with benefit to the

principles to answer yes. But if
you are sure of it, that is, if you even
feel any distress after eating or any
pain of whatever description in the re-

something more than an ordinary
stomach; in other words you have got a
