I'm the territory of the Southern Baptist
Convention IS to be turned over to the
Southern Union. Each church or union
is left free TO affiliate with any or all
general bodies, or with none. This Is
Baptistic, and could not be otherwise.
According to this agreement, the friction
and strife that have hndered the work
so much in the South are done away,
and the greatest unity and heartlest CO.
operation should characterize the work
from this time. What the work needs
is for it's friends to close ranks and press
with all possible vigor a campaign Of
organization and education.
The committee that formulated the plan
agreed that every newspaper must be
helped and encouraged TO have the very
best Baptist Young Peoples Union De-
partment possible. / feel that the COM
bined help Of our religious newspapers
means more for the work than any gene
raj organ; yet there is great need for the
general organ.
| have been asked II the Southern
Union would send fraternal delegates to
the session of the Baptist Young Peoples
Union Auxiliary. There was no proyi-
sion made for such n r1ing. The ques-
ton of delegation to all larger meetings
was left in the hands of the local churches
and local unions. which are under control
of the local churches.

the work officially. / shall maintain n
deep interest in its success and gladly
render any service in my power for its
promotion. / thank all brethren every

Ex-Secretnry Jordan's Explanation
of the Agreement Recently Made.

This weeks Religious Herald contains
the following letter from Rev. DR.. John
d. Jordan, which will be read with In
terest by the young Baptists OF Virginia:
You ask me to give you few Zines on
the basis OF agreement which has been
effected between the Baptist Young Peo-
pies Union Auxiliary and the Southern
Baptist Young Peoples Union. most
cheerfully do so.
The plan is a simple one. The Baptist
Union, of Chicago. becomes the common
organ OF communication and education.
The southern secretary becomes assoc
ciate editor. and as much as page or
space Is open each week for southern
news and views. The columns OF the pa
per are likewise open for the presentation
OF the work OF any and all the boards
of the Southern Baptist Convention. TO
foster these boards and the work OF the
Southern Baptist Convention Is the pri-
mary aim and chief desire OF the Baptist
Young Peoples Union Auxiliary to the
convention.

True AstrOb Meridian.


To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
would be glad if you will publish the
enclosed article. You may possibly re-
member me in connection with the Oys-
ter Survey of the State.
Yours, very truly, j. b. BAYLOR.
On account Of the vast interest, both
on sea and land, involved in a correct
knowledge OF the laws which govern the
magnetic needle, Congress has autho-
rized the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey to investigate the mag
netism of the earth in every section of
the North American Continent and 10
prepare magnetic charts for the whole
region.
In connection with this work, the
elements Of the earth's magnetism have
just been determined at Richmond, Va
1t may be of interest to know that there
has been established, and marked with
substantial granite posts. at the New
Reservoir Park. a true astronomical me-
ridian, where engineers and surveyors
can now determine the variation de

as well as the index error of each in

The City Engineer is familiar with the
location of this meridional line. At the
present time, at the New Reservoir

The embroiderles for the fronts Of gowns

something of that nature. The bodice

worked also in paillettes, Jewels. and

dress shows in the interstices. The
boleros frequently cover the back and
are continued under the arms for high
and low dresses.
AS a matter OF fact, the styles quoted
are not ironclad. and the would-be

we investigate the new styles, the more

STUDENTS GOING TO EUROPE.
A Pleasant Party TO Spend the Sum-
mer Abroad with Prof. Mitchell.

In the spirit of true education which
demands a first-hand acquaintance with
actual objects instead Of the memoriz-
ing of words, a company Of students Of
Richmond College purpose to spend some
months this summer IN Europe. The
object Of the trip IS largely educational,
with special reference TO history, socio-
logy and art. Regard has been had In
planning the Journey TO the pleasures
incident 10 such a Trip: and. also, TO the
physical refreshments so much needed by
students after the work OF the winter
and the recent strain of the final ex-
aminations. The members OF the party
are Messrs. r. 3. McAdams and John
A. Coke, Jr., Of this city. the latter Of
whom is now studying law at the Uni
versity OF Virginia; Messrs. w. S. Nc

suspended by a delicate silken fibre, i'm
mersed in glycerine. the magnetic needle
points 3 degrees. 81 $40 minutes west OF
the true north dhe direction of the pole
Of the EARTH. This is the average varia-
tion for the twenty-four hours.
At this season of the year the daily
variation amounts to about minutes
of arc. The north end of the needle
points about minutes nearer the true
meridian at A. NJ. than at p. NJ.
The annual variation seems to be IN
creasing at Richmond at the rate Of
about minutes of arc each year.
The line of no variation, or the line
along which the needle points true north,
passed through Richmond about 1875. 1t

The north end OF the needle has been
moving towards the west, at Richmond
Va, since 1Sl2-you may say, since we
have had very trustworthy observations.
1T may be interesting to note the posi-
bic effects upon boundaries Of con-
tiguous properties, on account OF these
remarkable changes in the conditions Of
the earth's magnetism.
Should q boundary line. a mile IN
length. which was run in the vicinity OF

veyor's compass, be retraced at the pre-
sent time. and these changes not noted.
there would be an error in the location
of a corner of at least 325 feet.
Should this same line be run lat this
season Of the year, with a surveyors
compass at a. NJ. and at l =. NJ, an
error in the location OF corner of at
least II feet is possible. Engineers, by
the use Of this standard meridian, can
correct many Of these errors.
The magnetic dip and the intensity OF
the earth's magnetism have also been
determined at Richmond Va.
These determinations are essential to
systematic and exhaustive discussion
of the magnetism of the earth as
whole.
In the immediate future, similar de-
examinations to those at Richmond. will
be made at the following county towns
in this State and an astronomical meri-
dian, marked with substantial granite
posts, will be established at each place
viz, Accomac. Norfolk, Greneesville, Hall

but the contrary. We believe that the
present Constitution is not adapted 10

that unless useless officials and unneces-
sary expenses are cut off and a wise
economy introduced Into the administra-

more. s., 800 00O-which is over 81 per

sibly stand few years longer II we

from under our feet. But we are gravely
told that paupers. criminals, and lunatics
are increasing at such a frightful pace
that large expenditures will be necessary
TO make provision for these. The peni-
all be enlarged, moreover. In 1900. just
three years hence. the interest on the
public debt will be raised one-half of
per cent, which will require $4,000 an
nual increase in our revenue TO meet it.
Is 1t not time to begin TO think about
these things? Where will you get the
money from? The present rate of taxa
ton amounts TO coniiscation. Property

for the taxes, and much will not bring
