Death ofMrS. Elizabeth Barrett

Mrs. Elizabeth Barret, was
born in Tazewell, Co. Va, Oct. 5lh
1889, and died Oct. 18th 1897. Her
life for the last II years was beau.
tiful example of the sustaining pow.
er of the Christian Religion. Dur
ing that length Of time she was an
invalid, and never left her home
Those who were with her most, say
she was never heard to murmer or
complain at Gods mysterious provi-
dence in her long af1liction. The
writer of this has held many relig.
ious SerS ices in her home, and she
would invariably send for the neigh
bors and friends to join in song and
prayer and talk. Often on these
occasions would she clap her hands
and speak Of Gods love and peace
which she felt in her heart. Her
last days on earth seemed her hap
piest, and just before her spirit left
its clay tenement she looked out of
the window and SAID: "This is the
brightest day / have ever seen"
In her dying moments her neighbors
were at her bedside, and she ex.
pressed her appreciation of their
kindness to her during her protract-
ed affliction, and being conscious
that her time to leave this world
had come, she welcomed life's ex-
pected close, and sank in perma.
ncnt repose.

"PIGEON DROPPERS" IN LAW.

The Meaning OF This Term Just EIu-
cidntcd in Kansas.
In the trial of a case in n police court
at Lawrence the other day the law
yers were puzzled to discover in
an old city ordinance the words "pigeon
dropper," which were evidently used to
demonstrate certain class of Grim
inal, says the Kensas City Journal. No
one. however. knew anything about
the class or their methods, and a dis
cussion was started which lasted for
several days and brought out all sorts
of explanations. Finally L. w. Reed
solved the riddle. lie said that 10 years
ago, when he was in business In New
York city, the term was a common one
in police court circles.
About that time 4 new confidence
game was started which required q
brace OF confederates to successfully
operate it. They would pick up n man
on the streets who looked easy" when
one Of the confedcrates would so ahead
and drop what appeared TO be n big
roll Of bills. The second confederate,
keeping pace with the victim, so rs 10
arrive at the spot little in advance of
him, would pick up the roll.
Turning then TO the victim, he would
cXploin that he had to hurry out Of
town; that the roll contained at least
81 600; that the loss would surely be
advertised and a reward of at least
500 be offered; wouldn't the gentle
man advance as much as the reward
was sure to be and take the roll? The
gentleman usually hastened to accom-
modate the finder, only to discover later
that the $1,000 roll was simply wad
of paper, with ten-dollar bill wrapped
around it. This, says Reed, was known
as pigeon dropping" and the operators
as pigeon droppers."

Monument to Major Ginter.

We have repeatedly referred in
these columns of the need in the
South of schools OF technology which
shall educate young men aud young
women for the practical affairs of
life. We have urged that it is the
greatest mistake in tho world to edu.
cate for the professions boy who is
born mechanic and whose tastes and
talents run in that direction. We
have urged that the great need of

ly. We have commended all such
institutions now in existence in Vir.
ginia and have expressed the hope
that their number and efficiency
would be steadily increased.
Il is most gratifying to us, there.
fore, TO see that movement is on
foot in this city to en3ow n mechan
les institute and school of technolo.
gy to thelmemory of the late Major
Lewis Ginter. We can conceive of
no more appropriate testimonial to
the memory of the lImented citizen
than an institution of this character.
1t seems to us to be entirely in the
fitness of things, and we believe that
with all his modesty it would have
been most gratifying to Major Ginter
in his life time to know that the re-
gard of his fellow citizens and their
desire to perpetuate his memory
would find expression in movement
OF this character
Major Ginter was not only IA phi
lAnthropist, but a thoroughly practi
cal man. He loved to do good, and
he loved to expend his money in
such way as to accomplish the
greatest amount of good for the peo
pie at large of Richmond He loved
books, he loved art, and he had the
highest regard for professional men
But he was a man of affairs, and he
knew the value in any community o.
skilled mechanics.
To establish, therefore, an institu
ton in this community for the edu
cation Of mechanics would be not on
" an appropriate monument to him
but would be in keeping with hil
public spirit and in furtheranco O
the great work that he had begun.
The Times believes that this happ,
suggestion will receive not only Tia,
approval but the earnest and cordia
support of the people of this city
Richmond State.

FUTURE KING OF ENGLAND.
Prince Edward OF York, Who VIII
Jc Grcnf Some DnN.

Prince Edward OF York. Who VIII
BE Great Some Day.
Little Prince Edward of York is OBJ
viously being brought up in the way he
should go. which, in the case of mem
ber of the royal family, means having
ones picture taken with gratifying
frequency. ~ tiny toddler who is pre-
sumably destined to occupy the throne
of England cannot, ii is TO be supposed,
have his picture taken too often, and
certainly those of Prince Edward are
attractive enough TO win him hundreds
of transatlantic admirers.
In his newest little photograph the
little prince is seated in his private
equipage, which is safely stationary.
The little wicker carriage is very pretty
and comfortable, says the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch, but it was not intended
to cover very much ground, while the
wooden steods have a suspended anil
nation that protects the youthful driver
from all possible peril. In spite of his
safe position, Prince Edward looks
quite as worried as though he were
driving the chariot of state for which
he will one day be responsible. 1t is
quite likely, however. that. far from
anticipating the burdens attendant
upon his kingly dignity. Prince Edward
is nearly overcome 10y his new response
bility as the head Of the family, Prince
Albert and Princess Victoria both be-
ing babies. Princess Victoria is n ju-
bilee baby and the youngest of the
queens grcat-grandchildre
OF course there are many possibili-
ties that the young duke of York may
never reach the throne. His grandfa-
ther, the prince, has been the heir
apparent for nearly 60 years, and bets
have been made that the queen, his
mother, will outlive him. Then, after
the prince Of Wales, comes the young
dukes father.

She lived humble, faithful Chris

initiate, and while often we doubt,
she l0nged to depart aud bo with
Christ, yet she waited patiently un.
til the Lord in his infinite love and
mercy thought it best to take her
home; when she left the loving em-
brace of her daughter aud joined
the angelic Host that had come to
watt her spirit to its eternal home.
Truly she was ripe sheaf, ready
for the garner. As the writer be
held the children and grand chill
dren surround their loved ones for
the last time he thought of the
goodness of God and how that flow
er that had withered on earth should
bloom anew in Heaven, and be re.
mitted with loved ones where there
will be no more parting.
Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy rest,
Weary with care and worn with pain;
Farewell, till in some happier cline
We shall behold thy face again.

a MATTER OF EGGS.

Queen Victoria and the Royal FAM
lily Use the American Product.
Five hundred million of eggs are
shipped to Philadelphia every year, q
large proportion of which are housed
away in the big cold storage depots
to be kept for use as the needs of the
market require. The fact that during
the week of the queens jubilee Vic
toria and her royal family used eX-
clusively American eggs and poultry
at their dinners and luncheons is re-
garded rs a special recommends ton for
the superiority of these twin articles
of produce, and were this important bit
of dining-room gossip known about
American barn yards it would cause
many of the feathered champion egg
producers to look decidedly proud over
such a queendy recognition.
The egg supply in this country just
now is absolutely enormous, says the
Philadelphia Press, and more eggs have
been placed in cold storage than ever
before. Prices were never lower, and
it is contended that the market here
can be relieved by shipping the sur
plus stock abroad and sold in close
competition with the foreign produc-
tion in all of the great market centers.
1t has not yet been decided whether to
export the spring eggs now in cold
storage or wait until the shipments of
fresh-laid eggs begin to arrive.

Chas. A. Dana, the Editor of

day. Mr.. Dana was one of the
foremost Editors of the present
century. The New York Sun,
however, has been one of the most
unreliable of political papers. 1t
was never known where to place
the paper. In one campaign it
would be democratic in the
next republican and the next dem
Ocratic, and so on. Nevertheless
the Sun is one of the worlds
