"There is nothing real or tangible in

There is no genuine friendship. You
are appreciated for what you do in

Sustained the Verdict.

Judge Stafford G.. Whittle, of the
Circuit Court, last week, overruled the
demurrer of the defendants in the suit
of Callahan's Administrator against
the Southern railroad, thus sustaining
the verdict of the jury in the case for
$4,000 damages. Some months ago
the Callahan family, consisting Of
husband and wife and two young
children. accompanied by a lady
friend, were riding home in an open
wagon and, when crossing the track
OF the Southern road at Lawyers Sta
ton, about ten miles below Lynch
burg, were struck by passenger train
and all five instantly killed. A suit
for so, 600 was instituted in each case.
The suits brought by the administra
tor of the the two children were tried
first, the jury rendering verdict for
$1,000 for each death. Counsel for the
railway company demurred to the ev
idence, but without avail. The other
three cases will be tried at next term
of Campbell Cout Court.

Ureeds Of Presidents.

Foundry Church, Washington. will
be the church which Mr. Mckinley
will attend after his inauguration He
will be the third Methodist among the
Presidents of the United States. There
have been, besides, eight Protestant
Episcopalians, six Presbyterians, two
Unitarians, one Christian and one
Free Thinker.
Washington used to go to one or an
other of the Episcopal churches in
Philadelphia John Adams was the
first President at Washington. He
was a Unitarian, and, as there was not
y church OF his denomination in thu
capital in those days, he did not identi

Tho.nas Jefferson believed, with
Thomas Paine. that mau should be
guided by his own reason rather than
by the reason of others therefore he
didn't go to church. Madison went to
St. Johns Church. Monroe evolved
some of his famous doctrine while sit
ting in che same pew Madison had
used. In 1919 st. Johns set apart pew
No. for the especial use of the Presi-
dent of the United States.
John Quincy Adams, like his father,
the shoemaker. was a Unitarian. He,
with others, founded the Unitarian
church whose congregation met in the
building now used by the Police
Court. Jackson went to the Presbyte
rian Church on Four and-a Half street
which was built in his term of office
and to st Johns Church. Van Buren,
went to st. Johns. William Henry
Harrison. whose grandson was also
President, went to the F Street Pres.

The Jury Syst. m

The outrages of the jury system as
practiced in this country are aptly il.
lustfated by the fact that man has
just been liberated in Nebraska whose
innocence has been conclnsively de
monstrated after seventeen years of
imprisonment, and whose attorney,
Judge Mason; says that In his career
at the bar he has defended fifty two
men charged with capital crimes and
of the fifty two the III 10 referred TO is
the only one that had been convicted
He then added that upon his honor
as man he believed the releas
ed prisoner is the only innocent one of
the entire number. But there are
men who really believe that upon the
jury system depends the security of
the liberty of the people of this coun-
try.-Alex. Gazette.

Good Times in Nevada.

The Nevada Legislature has not only
|legaIized prize-fighting. but, it is
stated in the di patches, is arranging
to bestow the most unusual honors
upon the winner of the Corbett Fitz-
simmons contest on March II. "A bill
will be introduced in the Legislature
in a day or two providing for an ap
propriotion of 50, 600 to pay for a dia-
mond-studded silver belt to be pre-
sented on behalf of the State to the
winner OF the battle on st. Patrick's
lay. The majority OF the members
OF the Legislature. it is reported, are
heartily in favor of the project. and
Governor Sadie is said to b. prepared
t., sign the act at a moments notice:
La view of the fact that Nevada is one
of the silver producing States from
which the cry of hard times came last
fall with most persistent plaint, it is
surprising. indeed. that its finances
admit now Of large appropriations to
purchase testimonials for pugilists..
Evidently something is wrong. Sena-
tor Stewart tells rs periodically that
the people of the West are at the point
Of starvation; that the farms are all
mortgaged and the industries depress-
ed, while the Nevada Legislature, APP
parently acting upon the assumption
that the State has money to blrn,"
is ready to give thousands of dollars
to signalize a fisticuff under Queens
berry rules. Times cannot be very
hard in the Western mining camps
when a State Legislature is voting
away $4,000 souvenirs to sluggers. and
the destitute and oppressed people"
have not raised a protest against this
way of squandering the
public funds.-Balt. Sun.

A S,atRa OF Vanderbilt.

A few months ago a number of
wealthy citizens of Nashville, Tenn,
subscribed a fund to provide bronze
statue of Commodore Cornelius Van
derbilt, to be placed in the parthenon,
on the centennial exposition grounds,
to remain there until after the close of
the fair, and then to be presented to
the Vanderbilt University, which was
founded by the munificence of Mr..
Vanderbilt. The statue has been COM
pleted by Mr.. Morotti, famous New
York sculptor, and was inspected last
week by Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew
and w. K. and F. W. Vanderbilt, all
of whom declared the figure perfect.
1t will be shipped to Nashville tn is

who settled west of the Mississippi
