On tn Richmond.

Ciathews and Middlesex Herald)
We had a conference last week with
Mr.. Reuben Foster, general manager or
the York-River Line, in reference to the
proposed route TO Richmond as adyo-
Gated by the Chesapeake Waterman.
MIR. Foster is evidently the right man
I'm the right place." He received us cour-
teously, and listened attentively TO our
suggestions, which he took in with the
readiness of a business mind. AFTER
looking over the map, he remarked that
the proper thing to do was to extend
the railroad now terminating at West
Poirt) on TO Urbanna. Mr.. Foster VIII
do all he can TO aid the proposed route,
and suggests 0or the presenD that our
mail steamer, owen billiard. inasmuch
as her mails could be made up the night
be fore. ought to leave the Lancaster
shore in time to reach Urbann- about
1880 A. NJ. Then passengers would have
time to reach West Point by ii o'clock,
and take train then leaving for Rich
mcnd We could then get TO Richmond
by 215 o'clock the same day. The re-
turn trip. following day. would work all
right. as there are one or two trains
leaving Richmond early enough In the
morning to enable parties after arriving
at West Point ample time to drive TO
Urbanna and catch steamer Owen Dill
lard on her return to Lancaster side.
Let us drive the matter along until a
satisfactory solution is reached We
suggest that the West Point Virginian
and Mathews Middlesex Herald be ap-
pointed a committee OF two to close
tha deal-Chesapeake Watchman.
The Waterman struck the nail on the
head. Mr.. Foster is undoubtedly the
fright man in the right place" We are
personally acquainted with him. and know
him to be a man OF close observation,
splendid judgment and superior business
tact and qualifications; he Is thoroughly
familiar with the condition and necessi-
ties of the railroad in question, and such
expressions OF opinion, coming from so
reliable a source, are significant OF much
that may ultimately result in great bene-
AT to the people of the Rappahannock
Valley.
The business men Of Richmond city are
much interested in the scheme, and are
! willing to lend a helping hand toward
its successful contamination.
United and determined effort on the
part of the people may yet bring the
'.iron-horse" to Urbanna. Let the peo-
pie be hopeful and labor INCREASINGLY for
the development of our town and section
We intend to do all In our power along
the line of substantial development, but
propose to let the Waterman do little
more "shuffiing' before we close the

Ocean Secrets.

Unda Barton Hays, In Travellers Record
Wave-exiled Maids! How the ocean lies,
With captive voice In these pearly
shells;
And stretching seas where the gray gull
flies;
And the salt sea brine more grateful
smells
Than the scented Whit from muskadels.
There's a dash of foam in my lifted face.
And windy west where sunsets link
Impurpled dyes on the horizons space;
And the waves have a rudy glow to
AS they tumble back from the oceans
brink!
And beaconed headlands far appear;
And rugged cliffs with the wave-beats
thrown,
And white-winged boats are lettering
near,
Til the tide laps out from the slippery
pier.
Such whispering tales hear. Old Ocean!
OF coral caves where the mermaid
dwells;
Where the sea-nymphs rocks with bill
Her babes in these pink-lIned cradle
shells,
And the murmuring waves Of her music
tellsl
o shells that gathered where white
crests break!
Ye have mysteries deep as the seas for
me;
To the things you hide my soul WIN
awake,
When ] tread the wide shores Of

When adults are affected with catarrh
of the mouth the tongue is often de-
prived of the epithelum. This renuda-
ton sometimes occurs in patches; but in
some cases nearly half the tongue is de-
nuded. This condition renders the
tongue very sensitive, especially when
eating. Highly seasoned food, vinegar,
pepper or salt, brought into contact with
the raw surface, produces intense smart

THE EAST TEXAS JUDICIAL DIS
TRICT BILL PASSED SENATE
YESTERDAY.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE NAY VOTE.
sition-Immigration Bill in Good
Way to Pass-Pcace Treaty Con
sidered in Secret Session.

Washington, Feb. S.--The senate was
| in executive session most of the day, con-
| sidering the Anglo-Amcrican peace treaty,
so that little time was given in open SEES
sion TO the transaction Of regular legis-
| latve work.
Early in the day the bill rearranging
the judicial districts of Texas was passed
over the presidents veto, being that of
| McCaffery Of Louisiana.
Speaking Of the BILL Mr.. Mills of Texas
| said that the burden of the PRESIDENT
| objection was that the judges Of the dis
trict courts and marshals opposed it. For
years the development of Texas had de-
manded the change. but every time il
was attempted there was the opposition
of the court officials, who desired their
convenience consulted rather than the
convenience of the public. And in this
| case, the senator said the president has
accepted the views Of the court of course
| rather than those of the people
at is strange 10 me-" said Mr.. Mills,
that the president does not consult the
1pSuS-tnlr-
teen in the lower house ana two in the
senate-instead of accepting the view of
the court officers"
Mr.. Hoar (rep.) of Massachusetts said
he thought the senator from Texas
Mills did the president great injustice
in saying he was moved solely by the
wishes Of the court officers On the con
trary, said Mr.. Hoar, the president took
the very good point that but forty-five
cases had arisen in five years in the To-
cality of the proposed district. That was
a very strong and valid objection The
senator thought it was Outweighed, how
ever, by the growth of Texas and its
future needs, and he would. therefore,
vote for the bill despite the veto.
The effect of the vote is to make the
bill Il law without further reference to
the president, as it has already passed
over the veto in the house.
Mr. Pettigrcw Gnd) of South Dakota
sought to have the bill relative to amend
ing the timber culture laws recalled from
the president to correct an error.
Mr.: Hill (dem.) of New York interpOsed
the legal point that it was beyond the
power of congress to take bill out of
the hands of the president to amend it
on matters of substance 1t might, how
ever, escape the veto power by with
drawal from the president when it is
about to be vetoed.
The resolution went over.
At | O'Clock, on motion of Mr.. Sher
man, the senate went into executive SEES
sion and remained SO until adjournment
ut 5:20 p. m.
