AHorT ORGANIZED CAPITAL

In commenting on an article which re-
Gently appeared in these columns on rich
men, the Portsmouth Star says:
Wealth is measured by comparison.
The men or set Of men in Portsmouth
who have accumulated a capital Of, say,
$4,000 each are the millionaires, so to
speak, of this locality. They have the
power of the actual millionaires OF other
and more wealthy sections of the country

Richmond As a Tobacco Market.

Editor OF The Times:
Sir,-An article headed Richmond s To-
bacco Trade" which appeared in The
Times Of the 9Th instant while evidently
in the interest OF Richmond as tobacco
market. and Richmond per Sc Is mis-
leading and calculated to create impress
sions highly prejudcial to Richmond as
a tobacco market as well as to her gene
raj interests. The article says:
The handling OF tobacco was formerly
one OF Rlchmond's greatest industries
and Richmond was one Of the greatest to-
bacco markets I'm the world. But for va
rious reasons. which we shall not now at
tempt to give, our tobacco industry has
fallen on especially in the sale OF leaf to-
.bacco on the warehouse floors.

WHETHER intentional or not, the

tment having been omitted from
the Appropriation bill. This is a
much more serious matter than many
persons believe, as it will completely
halt the operations of the committee,

of the shad hatchery at Bristol will
also have to be suspended, unless the
Commissioners have something in
the shape Of a surplus fund, which is
not at all probable. This omission
may have been intentional, but the
probabilities are that it was due to
the haste and confusion always Incl

remedying the error until the meeting

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys

the womb like the bladder, was created for

in rare cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain,

r1lstakes oil Some Parents.

There is no greater mistake than
that made by so many parents in the
rearing of their sons and daughters
in what is termed elegant leisure, says
the Philadelphia Star. We know of
no more pitiable object than that of
a young man who has never been
taught to do anything that can be
turned to advantage in the event of
necessity requiring it, And yet there
are many, very many, such helpless
creatures in the world, who, if by
any mischance are deprived OF the
support of their parents, or have
not been the heirs of wealthy pro
genitors, are confronted with the
simple but stern fact that their
future dependence must be upon
their own efforts. They may be of
the self-reliant order, but of what
avail is self-reliance when there is
nothing upon which to rely
The wise parent, therefore, instead
of rearing his boys and girls in what
has been appropriately termed the
fashionable do-nothing style will see
to it that both are trained up in the
way they should go-that is, taught
to do something useful, and to re-
spect that something, as possibly
absolutely essential to their future
happiness.
Very much of the discomfort and
unhappiness of matrimonial lifenow-
adavs can easily be traced to the
fact that the modern wife during the
DAYS of her girlhood had not been
taught the all-important duties of
housekeeping, and is therefore as un-
ft to take charge Of servants and to
direct how things should be done, in
order to make her home cheerful and
enticing to her husband, as would be
the merest tyro to direct the making
OF a fine watch or the building of a
steamship
Teach your children how to be
useful to themselves and Others. If
they do not in the course of their
lives find use for such accomplish
ments, they will be nore the worse

Of Captain Weller Butler escaped from

Early on the morning of his convic-

with piece of tin, but was seized be-
fore he had done himself any serious
injury. Later he made the most vio-
lent resistance to his keepers while on
the way to the court house. He fought
with them like wild beast and was
with difficulty subdued,
The murders committed by Butler
are among the most cold blooded on

THE unparalleled mendacity of
Coyle in his effort to hoodwink Gov
ernor Hastings into signing his fake
hospital scheme with the statement
that he had the papers from the P. &
r. G. g. 1, Co. giving him a site, when
it is shown that he had nothing of
the kind, shows to what straits he is
reduced in his efforts to maintain his
fast-waning grip on the politics of
county. A more disreputable
way of trying to work an appropria-
tion through for political purposes
has not been developed in recent
years and meets with condemnation
on all sides.
