DEATH OF JUDGE STAPLES.

Judge Waller R. Staples, whose criti
Cal illness has been mention Ell, passed
away Thursday night at his country
home in Montgomery county. The
news of his demise will be received
with profound sorrow throughout the
entire State OF Virginia, with whose
political history he was SO prominently
identified. He had passed the allotted
three store and ten several years since
and, while in feeble health for
long time, closed his long
aad honorable career painlessly
and peacefully. To general breaking
down of the physical system and the
infrmities consequent upon his ad
vanced years his death may be attrib.
uted.
Judge Staples was elevated to the
Supreme Court of Virginia in April OF
1870, continuing in that judicial office
for l3 years, until displaced by the ad-
vent of the readjuster's bench in 1888
Probably his most notable act during
his long term on the supreme bench
was the rendering of the opinion in the
celebrated coupon cases, in 1878, which
led to the formation OF the readjusler
party in Virginia. The opinion was
afterwards adopted bV the courts of
the United States. He was several
times pressed to become a candidate for
the yovernorship, but refused.
Prior as we'll as subsequent to his &C
cession to the Supreme Court bench
Judge Staples was regarded as one of
the most able and distinguished law
yers at the Virginia bar. AS jurist
be was considered the peer of any con.
temporary. During the latter years OF
his life he figured but little in public
life, devoting his time to close spplica-
tion to his professional business. He
moved only among his most intimate
acouaintances aud was very reserved.
Judge Staples was never married.
Judge Staples was powerful In de-
oste and dreaded by political speakers
who happened to find him as an op
ponent in a campaign. He went to
Richmond after leaving the bench end

he time of his death, the firm OF Staples
& Munford being one of the most wide.
10 known In the State. Mr.. Munford
succeeded him as counsel for the South
ern Railway, which had become the
successor of the Richmond and Dan
Vile. With Judges Rely and Nj. q.
Burks, Judge Staples served on the
commission that revised the code OF
Virginia. About six months ago Judge
Staples became member OF Or. Hoge's
church. The aemains were taken to
Roanoke to day for burial.

Terriers.
OF terriers there are varieties without
number, but the most popular Of them all
is the neat and attractive fox terrier.

the well-bred terrier. The wire-haired ter
rier Of the same bred differs only in coat
from the smooth variety. The Irish terrier

oAnerences between the breeds become
more marked. The Scatch terrier is low
on the leg and small, while the Skye is also
long ana low. with plenty of coat. The Bed
Hngton and Dandiel Dinmont have a family
resemblance in coat, but that Is all, for
while the Bedlington is high on the leg.
the Dandie is like the Skye in build. Then
there is the black and tan or Manchester
terrier Of good size, from which the toy
terrier of the same color Is an offshoot.
The latter divides the attention Of those
seeking for pets with the pugs and toy
span1els, and the rows of cages in which
they are shown are always source Of at
traction to the ladies and children. For
every one there is something that will
please the fancy at a dog show.

SNAKES PLAN A ROBBERY.

An Ingenious Arrangement by which
Bank Swallows Were to Be Caught.
a number of Baltimore naturalists
had an unique experience the other day
while on an ornithological excursion
They We're searching for bank swal-
lows in the neighborhood of Tolches-
ter beach, about q mile from the pier
where the excursion boats land.
The nests of bank swallows are built
in holes in perpendicular banks, gen
orally in colonies, dozens of holes be-
ing only a few inches apart. The bark
the young men were exploring was
about so feet in height, with the nests
averaging seven feet from the top. The
bank was almost perpendicular and
the nests were reached by means of
ladders constructed of trees.
One of the naturalists, after work
ing for some time at one of the nests,
felt his hand come in contact with
some thing unusual. Drawing out his
surprised to find, coiled down at the
bottom huge blacEsnake, which, after
being gotten out and killed, proved to
be nearly seven feet in length.
Afterward two other snakes, equally
as long, were found in different holes.
The surface of the bank was perfectly
smooth, so the only possible way for
the snakes to have reached the nests
was to have let themselves down from
some short overhanging roots at the top
of the bank.
The snakes seemed to have worked
along the bank from nest to nest, as
several nests were found in which were
eggs that had been emptied of their
contents. In a nest with one of the
snakes was bird which had been late
Iy killed, and which the snake evident
ly was about to devour when its own
end came.
The naturalists said they had been
collecting eggs for many years, but
had never before seen anything so like
well-planned attack of snakes upon
birds eggs.-Baltimore Sun.
