LETTER FROM FAUQUIER.

LETTER FROM FAUQUlER.
Especial Correspondence Alexandris G"zette ]
MARSHALL, Va F., July 1.-THE tor
rid wave with the thermometer daily
in the COS, has given place to cooler
weather during the present. week, and
lately there have been abundant show
ers OF rain and cool nights. That Of the
14th inst presented the most gorgeous
lunar rainbow spanning the entire ives
tern horizon and in beautiful conlast
with the blue vault of heaven ana &
clear sky, brilliant with its thousand
stars and moons radiance in the cas-
tern horizon. The panorama pre-ent'
ed by the lofty peaks of the Blue Ridge
mountains and Of the lovely hills aud
valleys in the distance could hardly be
excelled.
Already the farmers have begun
threshing abundant crops of wheat snd
have the prospects of luxuriant fields
of corn, oats, rye and the products Ct
the garden. Some have begun to ship
to market their fat cattle.
We have now at Marshall q tele-
graph station with some hope of rev
depot building, which is greatly needed
for the travelling community.
Messrs. Smith, Jewell and Ramey,
our principal merchants, continue To
have a thrifty trade. There is reason
to regret that so many of the youpe
men annually leave the town and
neighborhood to add TO the strength oi
the northern and western States.
The friends of Mr.. II. DeButts Norris
rejoice that he is slowly recovering after
a critical illness. Our popular Attor-
ney General, Major Il. Taylor Scott, il
is reported, is still quite i'll with typhoid
lever at his home IN Warrenton. Mr.
Frank w. Horner, now a successful
druggist in Montreal Canada, is suffer
ing with the same disease. As usual al
this season there are many visitors anG
strangers in our midst. Messrs. Frank
Allen and Ludwig Baker, of Philadel
phia, gave us q call recently, returning
from an extensive tour through western
Virginia, stopping to visit the Luray
Cave. Both OF these young gentlemen
were typical examples of the most ro'
bust cyclists as were MT. RoO barry
and Mr.. Whitehead, Of Norfolk, the
escorts of Miss Margaret Barry, all
mounted on splendid horses.
On Sunday last in the afternoon the
Christian Workers of Fauquier came ,
Marshall in their gospel wagon and
held most interesting service in The
grounds of the Baptist church. The
comfortable seats provided for the Sun
day school picnic held the day heiore
were filled by large and attentive
audience. Brothers HILLARY, Richard
Brooke, the artist, and Rev. Frank
Berkeley plead earnestly that the un-
saved should now accept salvation
through the blood of Jesus Christ, and
the choir sang as if they believed it
'If they but knew the rapture that in His
love see,
They'd come and shout salvation and sing
His praise with me

PETITION FOR POSTAL BANKS.

Senator Mason presented in the
senate recently what is probably the
most remarkable petition ever laid be-
fore congress in behalf Of a legislative
proposition. 1t was The Chicago Rec
ord's petition for the establishment of
the postal savings bank system, and
bore the signatures of voters from
every state in the union, Alaska alone
excepted. The largest numbered sign
ers, as was to DO expected, was from
Illinois, the figures for the state. Chi
cago included, being 269,S75. The vote
of the state for president in 1896 was
1,O9O,SG9. More than one voter in four
in the state of Illinois, therefore. is a
a signer to tie postal bank petition.
1t is interesting to note that Ohio, the
home. of President Mckinley, is second,
the total number of signatures is 66S-
73S. \ petition like that means a
great deal, and should have weight
with congress-. Eve y signature is the
voluntary expression of "a wish for the
establishment of the postal savings
bank system. The total is an indica-
ton of a widespread desire, which is
shared. of course, by many times the
number to whom the opportunity was
afforded of thus giving expression to
their sentiments by signing this petit
tion.-Chicago Record.

Why Birds Eggs Are co,ored.

The why and wherefore of the colors
of BIRDS eggs have been a favorite theme
for speculation, from the quaint surmis-
ings of Sir Thomas Browne to the SOL
mn guess work Of Shufeldt, i'll his ten
biological laws explanatory of the va
ration in color of the shells of the eggs
i'll class aves." Hewitson piously con-
cludes that the beauty of these elegant
aud often exquisitely attractive objects
is intended for the delight of human
eyes; hence, as he says, eggs simply
white are put out Of sight i'll holes. He
also sees in the larger number of eggs
laid by game birds a provision by a
benevolent providence for the joy of
the sportsman and the d%electation of
the epicure. Next comes a man who as
sures us that the colors of eggs are due
to the influence Of their respective sur
roundings on the imagination of the
hen birds-the old story of Jacobs lit
tie trick III Laban in the matter of
young cattle. This school instances as
an example the red blotchcs prevalent
on the eggs of falcons, regarded by it as
u record Of the bloody experiences Of
the parents, but it does not explain why
the equally rapucious owls produce pure
white eggs Oh the bloodthirsty skuas
and shrikes lazy greenish ones.-Ernest
lngersoll in Harper's Magazine.

III. q. Burt has been appointed presi-
dent of the Union Pacific railroad. Just
as predicted in Omaha afewweeks ago.
The Elkhorn employees all along the
line are much pleased to have Mr..
Burt thus promoted. for he was much
admired by all who ever had business
to transact with him. This virtually
confirms the report that the North
Western and Union Pacific are con.
trolled by the same hand-but it will
not be Il bad thing for this part of the
