GLOUCESTER COURTHOUSE, VA,
October 2a-(Special.( -Thls was a glori-
Gus day for the Gloucester Democrats.
Despite the inclement weather. the
courthouse was we'll filed TO hear Major
Tyler. Many ladies graced the occasion.
This was the first time that Major Ty-
Lee has spoken here, and he received a
hearty welcome. Senator Stubs pre-
sided, and introduced him very hand
somely. Mr. Tyler was In fine feather.
He discussed the issues OF the day with
great clearness and force, and aroused
great enthusiasm. His anecdotes were
heartily enjoyed. The impression made
will be lasting.
After Major Tyler had finished Hon.
Thomas T.. Blakey was introduced. Mr.
Blakey said as he had to speak in the
lower part of the county he would not
give his speech away. However, he made
a brief and telling speech.
Senator Stubs then made one of his
telling and characteristic speeches. and
invited every one to partake of the ex-
cellent and bountiful dinner which the
ladies' had prepared. 1t was sunset be-
fore all of the Democrats finished dis
cussing the dinner and the events OF the
day. A very full Democratic vote is ex-
pected. Judge Blakey Will continue the
canvass In the county.

II WATER Never Frone.
Pearson's Weekly.)


The whole economy of nature would
undergo a startling change If water
never froze. The worlds climates would
be revolutionized. The ice-bound polar
seas would cease to exercise their chilling
influences, and consequently the currents
OF the ocean might either cease or be
turned aside in different directions.
Thus the Gulf stream would seek other
shores than those of Britain, and the Gle
mate there might be subject to the ex-
tremes Of heat and cold noticeable in
other countries Of the same latitude. The
ice-bound rivers of the north, notably
those of Russia and Siberia, would be
omen for navigation, and Russla's ac-
tivity as a sea power and CONNER
cial nation, might alter the whole world
of commerce.
Canada would become another country
altogether. An immense tract of land
would be available for cultivating hardy
plants, and Greenland might be what it's
name indicates. The absence OF icebergs
off the coasts Of Newfoundland and Ice
land would result in much warmer
climate in those islands, where now the
crops often fail.
lee too, plays an important part in the
economy of nature. Thus, If water never
froze snow, hail, and boar frost would
cease. The loosening Of soils and the dis
Indignation of rocks by the frost and
many other now vital effects would be
lost. In short, the absence Of Ice would
be on the one hand an incalculable disas-
ter on the other hand great boon.

railroads have regarded as troublesome
and unnecessary. Notwithstanding these
facts. Governor Russell cOnfesses that ne
IS not above using railway pass, or

happened the free use of one has been
offered to him. He says that the accept
ance OF these favors has not mitigated
his hatred of railroads in the slightest
degree, and that 1t will not prevent nm
from bothering them as much as he can

DANIEL IN AMELIA.
He Captivates His Audience In n
Strong Speech.

AMELIA COURTHOUSE, VA, October
2S.-(special.) -This was our regular
court-day, but all the business Of the
court was fully dispatched by 1890 P. NJ,
including one conviction for a felony.
The Judge vacated the bench in order
that the citizens might hear speak that
gifted and ilIustrious sssi of Virginia,
Major John w. Daniel. Promptly at L
o'clock County-Chairman r. G. Southan
raped the meeting to order, and called
upon Senator ]. w. Southall to introduce
the speaker. In a most appropriate and
eloquent manner Senator Southall pre-
scented the orator of the day.
Major Daniel arose amid deafening
cheers. 1t was an ovation which seemed
to inspire him. AS often as l have heard
Major Daniel, l never heard him with
greater satisfaction and pride than to-
day. For more than two hours he held
the audience spellbound by his match
less oratory. 1t would be impossible to
present an outline of what he said. He
gave the history of the origin Of the
Democratic party, its struggles for right
and for constitutional liberty. He min
utely detailed what that party had
achieved for Virginia's success and
prosperity. He then went into national
politics. and indicated clearly the in
terest that each and every State had in
national affairs. When he alluded to the
money question the interest Of the audi
ence became intense. For an hour he
developed the whole theory Of the silver
policy, and he detailed with clearness and
force the injury that Republican legisla-
ton had inflicted upon a struggling and
oppressed people. HIS criticism was caus-
tic and severe.
He started to conclude his remarks, but
the enthusiastic crowd cried, Go on!
He spoke for fifteen minutes longer.
Quite a number of ladies graced the oc-
casion. to whom the speaker made
most eloquent tribute of praise. Hd
took his seat amid the piaudits Of an
enraptured audience.

BACK FROM ST. MIcHAEDs.
Wisdom Of Creating Miittnry
Reservation on the Yukon.

TACOMA, WASH, october S.-Captain
J. c. Barr, superintendent Of the North
American Trading and Transportation
Company's boats on the Yukon, arrived
from st. Michaers to-day, and says Sec
rotary Ayers order creating military
reservation at the mouth of the YUKON
is probably the result Of the recommenda-
ton of Captain Ray, who found very
lawless spirit manifested at st. Michaels
when he was there in August. Captain
Barr thinks the order will result in the
maintenance of free trade on the river
and the securing to everybody OF equal
rights.
At present, Lieutenant-Colonel Randall,
with his force OF twenty-six men, has
absolutely no power. Captain Barr, who
has spent five years on the Yukon ana
is probably better posted than any other
man in the Territory, says there can
hardly be any exaggeration as TO the
richness OF the interior of Alaska.

Lady "master, of a Vessel.


At first thought the impulse is to con-

fusing TO grant a masters certificate TO

reason assigned by the board for not al

yachtswoman TO command her own ves-
sci In person, instead OF by proxy, is
most absurd reason. The word master"

WORST IN TWENTY YEARS.
Reports About the Storm from Life
Saving stations.
WASHINGTON Star.J

Superintendent Kirlban, of the Dite-
Saving Service has received letters from
a number of the keepers of nfe-saVlng
stations along the coast where the storm
has been raging, showing that many OF
the stations were damaged by the storm.
The keepers state that the storm was the
worst known in twenty years. The station
at Cobb's Island, Va, was the most badly
damaged. The Wachapreague station, not
far from Cobb's Island, was also badly
damaged.
Superintendent Kimball does not think
1t will be necessary to build new station
at Cobb's Island. The damage can be re-
paired and the station used for the re-
mainder Of the season. Some Of the boats
and life-saving paraphernalia at the dlt-
ferent stations was lost.
