LOST IN THE WOODS.
TWO LITTLE GIRLS WANDER AWAY
FROM GLEN ALLEN.
They Are Found Bewildered In the Streets
Of This City--Their Parents
Notified.

About 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Beulah and Lois Melton, aged nine and
eleven years. respectively whose parents
live near Glen Allen, about eleven miles
north of this city on the Richmond'
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad,
wandered away from home.
A VIGOROUS SEARCH
II was some time before the little girls
were missed and then their parents lnstl-
tuted a vigorous search for them. inc
only information they were able TO obtain
however, was that they had been seen
going in the direction Of Richmond.
While one party was searching for the
small ruuaways. Mr.. S. S. Trivett,, who
lives near by went to the long-distance
telephone at Glen Allen and called up
Mr.. LOnnle Jones at the Fire Alarm
headquarters. Mr.. Jones was requested
to notify the police of this city and ask
them TO keep a lookout for the children.
Late yesterday evening the cook OF Mr..
]. II. Chappell, who lives at No. Col north
Sixth street, found the little ones wan
dering about the streets IN a badly
frightened state. She took them TO Mr..
ChappelPs and that gentleman went at
once to the Second Police Station and
reported the case TO Sergeant Allen.
BY his instructions the parents Of the
little girls were called up by telephone
and informed Of the safety OF their
children The reply was received that
some one would come for them this
morning.
A HARD TRAMP.
The girls. who are small for their ages,
were made comfortable last night at the
home Of Mr.. Chappell, who showed them
every kindness. From their appearance
1t was evident that they had had a hard
tramp. Both of them were dressed in
blue and their habiliments showed evil
dences of rough travel.
In explanation Of their queer caper they
said that they were out for a walk and
had gotten lost. Completely bcwilder-
ed they had wandered on and on. until
al last they reached this city. and were
completely at loss where 10 go until
received at the hospitable home Of Mr.
Chappell.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Serofulous Humors How q Cure
Was Effected.
"when five years old my little boy had
scroiula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparills. We decided to give
It to our boy and VIC noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparills
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and 1t has never since returned"

until it is dissolved and the ar.

The court enforces the law as it
is laid down and if it happens to

is enforced the sooner it will be
corrected. The following is
Judge COTS opinion in full:

has no trouble. 1t is concerning the
facts what they prove and their prop
er application to the law involved,
that counsels have expressed differ
ences, and the court is required to
decide.
"NIany matters foreign to the issue
now presented have been referred to
by counsel and testified about by wit
nesses, but the court will exclude them
from its consideration. Matters re.
fering to Free Speech Natural
rights and the Liberty OF the citizen
are not now involved in this issue nor
are they in danger They will survive
this ordeal and it is to be hoped that
they will be further endeared to US
all (if that be possible), by our mutual
experiences herein and the incidents
connected Herewith. The right OF
free speech has not been abridged, nor
in any manner iuterferred with. The

The camp has heard him and been
electrified by his eloquence. City,

him and have given him generous
welcomes. Public buildings have been
thrown open, street corners utilized,
the crossroads and highways called

people to assemble and discuss mat
tiers in which they feel an interest has
had an exemplification in the last
month in this and adjoining states,
that has been pleasing to our citizen

to the agitator and demagogue-who,
it seems, delight in drawing lurid pic
