BY n vote of % to / the senate on Thurs
day stamped most emphatic refusal Oh
the proposition to repeal the law prohiD-
ting the sale of liquor to students, and
this is ~ it should be. Thrown out from
the influence of home at an age when all
vices present the most alluring phase,
and when bad habits are most easily con.
tracted it behooves the State to throw
around the STUDENTS of our. educational
institutions every possible safeguard.
AMI to have repealed the present law
would have been to have fastened dis
grace upon the senate that would have
chung to it for generations to come The
argument offered by Mr. Morris, the
patron Of the bill, that the students man
aged to buy liquor at any rate. under the
present la w,was as weak as it is oil. The
same kind of reasoning would be an ar
gument for the repeal of every law upon
our statute books, and we are glad to see
our representatives so wideawake to the
welfare of the young men of our State as
to give such argument no countenance
whatever. Among the letters written
from different schools and colleges pro-
testing against athe repeal of the law,
were those to the senator from Roanoke,
from the faculties CT Allegheny Ins.i-
tute and Roanoke College. The senate
is due vote of thanks for it's action

son attending school away from home

Each succeeding day that passes seems
to bring in it's train some discovery in the
realm of science that surpasses the pre-
ceding one The possibilities of sending
pictures by electricity have been known
for some time, and many interesting ex-
periments have been made, hut the New
York Herald has succeeded in making a
practical test of the discovery by illus
trating it's pages with pictures sent by
telegraph. The results are yet somewhat
crude, but are sufficiently successful to
make 1t certain of becoming one of the
common features in the near future of
our great metropolitan dailies. REVEAL.
tions so startling in the fields of actual
science, of medicine and of surgery have
been following each other in such won
derfui raDidity during the last twelve
months as to cause the world to stand
aghast with astonlshmeut and to remove
all preconceived boundaries to the posi-
bilities of the human intellect and inge-
nuity.

with Digestion Perfect.

My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over wear.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as che could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak She could not retain what
food She did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered SO much
that she became but the shadow of her.
self. One day happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods sarsaparilla. 1t
Sounded So Truthful
i persuaded her to try this medicine
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good nnd she
can cat almost anything she wishes She
is AZ years old and says she feels as well
as when she was &c. Hoods Snrsaparilla
made a complete cure in her case"

former boom would be the first to rush
into it again. The old adage to the con.
trarJ, men do forget, and they do not al
ways learn BY experience, and perhaps it
is as we'll that it is so, for were we rot
possessed Of the happy faculty of forget
ting the distrust and suspicion engen-
dered by repeated betrayals of public
trusts would make this Korld'but a sorry
place in which to live
On last Friday morning The curtain
was rung down on the final tragic scene
of one of the most celebrated murder
cases ever known in this country The
execution OF Theodore Durrant has been
long delayed, and so far as any punitive
lesson to be derived from it is concerned,
might as we have never t.,ken pace, the
crime which he eXpiated with his life
having been all but lost sight Of in the
time that has elapsed from its perpetra-
ton to It's punishment. Never was a
criminal ever served more faithfully by
his lawyers. From the first conviction
the case has been fought from court tc
court. Reprieves and stays' have been
granted nall kinds Of legal techuicalities
andaup 10 few hours Of bis execution
his counsel were working both in San
Francisco and in Washington, 9Th an
energy that never slackened, for IL stay of
execution. The evidence upon which Dur
rant was convicted was wholly OF a cir
on . iol 81,
was the web of circumstances woven
around i'm, that through the country at
large little or no doubt of his guilt has
ever existed Witness after witness has
arisen to try to break the fatal chain of
circumstances, but the result has always
been to leave it stronger than ever before.
There Il always sentiment against cap
ital punishment on circumstantial evil
dence, and naturally so, for fear that after
all some terrible mistake may be made,
and yet 1t often happens that the chain of
proof fixing the deed upon the accused is
stronger than any direct personal evil
dence that could be secured. in the ia
nous C'uverus case some ten wears
back, in which the prisoner was executed
without one shred of personal evidence,
many doubts of his guilt were expressed,
and yet in all the time that has since
elapsed there has never arisen one thing,
even the most trivial, to fix the crime on
another. The taking OF human life, even
by legal execution: is always terrible
thing, but when the guilt has once been
fixed to the exclusion of all reasonable
doubt, next to absolute certainty, no
maudlin sentiment should lie allowed to
interfere with the execution of the law.
Poor Blanche Lamont has ,been avenged
OF most foul murder, but, as we said
above,as far as lessons to be derived from
it are concerned, the punishment has
come years too late.

There is no difference ofopinion CON
corning the old fume owned by the
Water, Light IS Power Company. 1t is
a detestable nuisance; and citizens gen.
orally favor compelling the company
to put in a new flume or abandon the
old one entirely. 1t is claimed that it
would have been changed by the COM
pany long ago but that the long con-
tinued contention over their franchise,
and the uncertainty of the outcome
kept their plans from being carried out.
But, however that may be, no n will
contend for q moment that the old
flume should be permitted to remain
as it is. A new fiume should be put in
at least from the creek crossing by the
court house to the power house. That
much is favored by citizens generally,
and cannot be made an issue in the
coming city election.
