and Martin are both here to night. The

Telephone and Telegraph Company is
making desperate fight to secure here
Gen. E. p. Meany, president of the COM
pany, is with Maj. Daniel, and they will
appear jointly before the city council
wednesday night.
Maj. Daniel tonight gave AS his opin-
ion that the Democratic convention at
Roanoke would indorse the Chicago plat
form as whole and emphasize the free
silver plank. He thinks the party will
carry the State by an increased majority,
regardless of what opposition tickets are
put in the field. Senator Martin concurs
fully in the opinion of his senior col
league on these points.

Famous Old Oaks,

The wooden walls of old England owe
their strength to the timber of tho oak,
which, from its size and durability. is
better suited for shipbuilding than that
of any other tree There are many gi-
gantio remains Of this monarch of tho
forest. That called William the Con-
queror's oak, in Windsor park, is suppos-
ed to be 1900 years old, while the
famous. Bentley and Winfarthing oaks
are Mt least two centuries older. In
some parts of England are Gospel oaks,
SO called from the ancient practice Of
reading the gospel under them OH Holy
Thursday. There are above 100 species
of oaks, the greater number being ma
tives of America.
In the United States VIC have or had
tho famous Charter oak, in which, dur
ing troublous colonial times the charter
of the colony of Connecticut lay a leag
time hidden. This tree is gone, but two
young trees now growing in hartford
are said to be from its acornA. ~

His eyes the dormouse opened and he looked as

The prize procured at such expense would DO
but dearly bought.
And 20 he closed his eyes again and nodded
with his head
AS though he longed to drop asleep; then
drowsily he said:

By Railroad e sibesrta.n .E,r,la,

1t has been reported that the car has
issued decree that persons who are
exiled to Siberia shall from this time
forth be carried by train to the convict
settlements. In the. days when the poor
unfortunates had to make the journey
OH foot it took 90 days Of steady ID arch
ing to reach the journeys cid, and
women and children, as we'll as men,
took their places in tho long, sad pro-
cession that wound its way across the
dreary steppes of Russia.
This decree must have caused much
rejoicing among the Russian people,
and if the czar continues to rule his
people so mercifnlly and kindly we
may all live to see the day when there
will be no more nihilism or hatred be-
tween the ruler and the ruled in Rus
STA. and when it will no longer be nee
essary to send anybody to Siberia, re-
marks The Great Round World.
