on the officers OF the company by Deputy

tice.
In the suit began by General Varian
$4,000 is claimed for the use of MS name
and $500 for commissions for getting
10000 worth of stock subscribed for. he
alleges that for the use of his name ne
was to receive $4,000. or $4,000 shares OF
stock. but complains he has received
neither.

A. successful company Is shown by this
effort of General Varian to obtain N,VCO
shares OF the stock.
DGeheraI Narian. however. never re-
ceived a promise OF any stock IN the
company by any OF Its officers, although
ne NAV have had inducements held out 70
him from other sources, by reason or
,yhtch he now seeks TO become possessed
OF stock through suit at law AS 20 MS
claim for commissions, we never knew
anything about that until to-day. rehe-
raj VarIan Is not director OF the COM
pany. and never has been.
Advantage has been taken OF the iact
that the company is foreign corporation
as under the Code a person can attack
foreign corporation when action is begun.
IL simply puts the company TO the neces-
sity Of furnishing a bond to discharge the
attachment, and such bond viii be MED

A Lecture on General Lee-Personal
Mention.

LEXINGTON, VA, December H.-(Spe-
cial)-Dr. Henry Alexander White, of the
Washington and Lee University, will give
a lecture on Monday night, December
Goth, before the Young Mems Christian
Association OF Lynchburg, Va. HIS
theme will be, General Robert f. Lee
at Gettysburg" The lecture will be an
elaboration, with the aid of large maps,
of DR.. Whites account Of the campaign
and battle of Gettysburg, as published IN
his recent biography of General Lee. Du-
ring the past six years DR.. White mas
taught the campaigns OF General Lee as
a part of his course in American his
tory. He has made an exhaustive study
OF the war records, and has given more
than two years OF continual labor to
writing out the history of Lees battles
from the official records and from the
testimony of Confederate veterans. The
News and Courier, of Charleston, s. c.,
of December 5th contains the following
about DIR. Whites volume on Robert Il.
Lee and the Southern Confederacy": mo
fact has been stated by the author with
out verificatlon. no condition noted with
out patient research, no conclusion
reached without demonstration. His work
is far more than an entertaining bio
graphy Of General Lee; 1t were well
worth preservation II that were all, for
the great soldier could have no better
Boswell; but it is biography and history
combined and judged by any fair and
impartial standard, as TO the accuracy or
its historical statements and as TO the
estimates OF the military services and
personal character of Lee, 1t must take
rank as one of the great books OF the
day."
