A WeII-KnOwn TObaccOnist Dead.

the tobacconists of Richmond and in
FIuvanna county, died at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. George A. Parsley,

10 o'clock.
Mr.. Mason was born in Hanover
seyenty-three years ago, and while quite
a youth came to this city and went into
the tobacco business. BY prompt atten-
ton to his duties he was gradually pro-
noted until he held the position of man
ager of the r. j. Christian Tobacco
Company. This position Mr.. Mason held
for a number of years, until the concern
went out OF business.
About four years ago he entered the
tobacco business at Fork Union, in Flu
vana county, and was very successful in =
this place. until about three months ago,
bad health forced him to return to this
city.
Mr.. Mason suffered very little pain, but
a general breaking down caused his death.
He leaves a wife, who was Miss
Thomas. of Fluvanna, and seven children.

ley, Miss Mary Mason, Mrs. c. c. Tun-
stall, of New Kent, and Messrs. Henry

the burden Of this short sermon is:
BE as clean as You can.
Indulge in no "horse-play" out of
season. Skylarking, singing, etc, are
all right at suitable times. In fact,
they are to be encouraged. A cheerful
soldier is generally "A good one. But

Importance of preserving at all times
the bearing of the soldier, and not get
into slouching ways and positions "off
duty" This will simplify matters
much and after awhile a soldierly at
ttude will become second nature to the
recruit.
Much has been written on the care
of the person in the field, but l should
like to add little from my own eX-
perience. AS a rule, the careful mill
tary commander marches his column
about like this: When in motion at
the rate of about three miles an hour,
and at a uniform step and cadence.
The first hour he marches fifty min
utes and rests ten, for each succeed
ing hour he marches fifty-tive and
rests five minutes.
On the march tn soldier should
avoid drinking water or any other
fluid. If overpowered by thirst he
may hold a small quantity in his
mouth and, perhaps, swallow just
enough to moisten the throat. After
arriving in camp water should never
be swallowed at a gulp, but taken in
sips. In this way, moreover, a small
er quantity of fluid will satisfy the
thirst All drinking water should be
filtered or boiled, if practicable; if not,
substitute weak tea or coffee. Fill
your canteen over night for use in
camp the next day.
Unless there is a incoming" when
very small smack" may be INDUCED
in, avoid food also on the march. one
reason for this is that il is a prOvoca-
tive of thirst. BE careful of your diet.
1t is almost suicidal to eat unWhOle-
some things while exposed to the vi
cissitudes of a soldiers life i'm the
field. Eat only sufficient to nOurish
the body, and under ordinary circum-
stances never to reDletion. Old sol
diers are VIGOROUSLY small eaters
The soldier should carry with him
that which is absolutely necessary.

not be issued, l should if l were a

United States bonds. The minimum
amount of United States bonds requir-
ed upon the passage of the bill Is the
same az under existing laws per

all their bond deposits TO the par value
Of the bonds instead of 80 per cent, as

Beginning four years after the pass
age Of the act any bank may with
draw the bonds deposited to secure

REDEMPTION OF NOTES.

The burden Of the current redcmp-
tion of paper currency rests upon the
banks. They are required to redeem
their reserve notes over their own
counters. and to maintain in the treas
ury a five per cent. gold fund for cur
rent redemption of the notes in gold.
The reserve notes are guaranteed by
the government to be ultimately re-
deemd in gold from it's own resources
upon failure or liquidation of the bank
to which they may have been issued
The current redemption of currency
notes not secured by United States
bonds may be provided for by clear
ing-house districts under regulations
prescribed by the cOmptrollers of the
currency.
The currency notes are redeemed, in
case of failure of the issuing bank to
redeem them, from a gold guaranty
fund in the custody of the secretary
of the treasury. known as the bank
note guaranty fund, which is made up
by each bank which takes out circu-
lation upon it's commercial assets con-
tributing in gold per cent. of it's as
set circulation. Upon the failure of a
bank. it's notes shall be Immediately
redeemed from this fund and the fund
reimbursed from the assets of the
failed bank. Bank notes form a first
lien upon the assets and have behind
them also the individual liability of
the stockholders for assessment up to
the amount of their stock Should
these sources fail to fully reimburse
the fund. the treasury may make an
assessment upon the national banks
issuing asset circulation to reimburse
1t, but these assessments shall not in
any one year exceed per cent. of the
asset circulation.

DrsINTERESTED TESTIMONY

The Herald prints elsewhere this morn
ing a very interesting and important
communication from Mr.. B. r. Baum
gardt, secretary Of the Southern Cali
fornia Academy of Sciences. upon the
subject of the various sources of water
supply available to this city.
For the last eighteen months the
Academy has been investigating the
character of the water supplies of Los
Angeles, including therein a series of
thorough analyses. The outcome of
these analyses show the city to own
the sources of supply of the purest and
best drinking water which has so far
come under analysis" The popular
idea about the extreme purity of noun
tain water in Southern California" says
Mr.. Baumgardt, "is not supported by
the results of chemical and bacteriolog-
ical analysis. The amount of decayed
vegetable matter contained in mountain
water, except in cases where it is OBJ
tanned direct from the melting Of the
SHOWS, appears to be considerable and a
serious objection. On the other hand,
water that has been filtered through
sand is apparently freed from contain

gist for the agricultural I'D expert

Judgment and integrity cannot be called

investigations of the academy have been

Of science and of the city Of Los Angeles.

be truthfully characterized for having
done, in so far as 1t has done anything,
precisely what would have overwhelm-
ingly defeated the party at the polls In

gated?
Would It then have dared to say that
bonds would be issued in time Of peace
That the retirement Of the greenbacks
would be recommended?
That the adoption Of the gold standard
would be advocated?
That Hawaiian annexation would be
urged?
That interference in the Cuban war OF
determination would not be considered
That national banker would be placed
at the head of the treasury?
That executive influence would be en-
ployed to secure a senatorial seat for
Mark Hanna?
That the interest on the Pacific rail-
road debt would be abated?

1t IL fair to assume that moderate In

cure the concession demanded. and It
is not unlikely these will be forthcoming.

things being equal. Los Angeles should
be able to easily divide the trade in
many staples with any competitor on the

one day obtain can not be inaugurated
too soon.
