The History Committee of the
Grand Camp, Confederate Veterans,
in session in the city of Richmond
this week, recommended for use in
the public schools of Virginia the
United States histories of j. William
Jones and Mrs. Susan Pendleton Lee
and appointed a committee to press
the recommendation upon the Board
o: Education. The authors of the
histories suggested being Virginians,
always true to her best interests, it
is safe to say that the Board could
not err materially in giving them a
place in our public schools, and
certainly no mistake could be made
in replacing Barnes history with
them. Enough is known of the
intention of the Board to state, that
the latter so Objectionable to the
people of the State must go, and it is
surprising that books SO full of false
teachings should have ever been
admitted in our schools. The lesson
learned from past experience will
cause the Board of education, it is
hoped, to act more carefully in
selecting the histories which are to
be used in our schools in the future.

An. EnterprIsing NewsbOy.

Media, March G.-An able-bodied
Young man with a strong voice ar
rived in Media this morning with q
bundle of New York papers, and had
all the street wildly excited five
minutes after he struck the town. He
was calling out: Fifty three Amer.
cans killed by the Spanish in Cuba. v
and those who heard the call fairly
tumbled over each other to get copy
of the paper for five cents.
In few minutes the street was
lined with people looking over the
paper for the reported outbreak and
killing of Americans. 1t could not be
found. and cry of fraud was raised
Newsdealer Cooper hailed the news
vender, aud said he would have him
arrested for false pretence and selling
false news.
II will show you that l AIN right,
said the newsman, and turning over
the pages of the paper to an obsure
place he pointed to a short article
taken from the North American Re-
view for March. The news tue
sharper had been calling out hap
pened twenty-five years ago. The
article read:
"On October 81, 1878, the steamer
Virginius, sailing under American
colors and carrying a United States
registry, was captured on the high
seas by the Tornado, a Spanish war
vessel, and on the afternoon of No.
vember 1st taken into the port of
Santiago de Cuba. General Burrill,
the Commandant of the city, sum-
moned court martial, and, in spite
of the protests OF the American Con.
sul condemned to death at the first
sitting four of the passengers. They
were shot on the morning of the 4th
On the 18th twelve more were execu
ted, and on the 9Th Captain Fry and
his entire crew, thirty six, making
the total number of executions fifty
three" The story was headed Kill
ed Fifty-Three Americans. Spain
did this twenty-five years ago, and
nothing has been done about it yet
The energetic newsman was given
the choice of going before a Justice
of the Peace to see if it was lawful to
sell stale news or getting out of town
and he chose the latter. He sold sew
eral hundred copies in Media in q
very short time.

showing how artistic houses could De
built at moderate cost. 1t employed
a special architect, and his work was
certainly artistic. Besides the plans
it greed to furnish complete speclt
cations of each house at minimum
cost. Thousands of people liked the
plans given and the series has been a
great success for the magazine rms
spring the building of over five hun
dred houses, varying in cost from

relief of the treasury in future,
are going to show up better

as claimed now that there labors
will result in the saving of 100000
annually to the State their is no
doubt of it and if the result should
be such as is expected it will relieve
us of the necessity of holding a con-

SATURDAY, MARCH -, 1898.

Nothing more is known officially
as to the cause of the Maine disaster
than was at the time the battleship
was blown up three weeks ago and it
is not known even when report of
the court of inquiry appointed to
investigate the matter may be eX-
pected, but the lack of that know
ledge has not caused our relations
with Spain to be of less absorbing
interest, in the last few days. The
people of the country have been kept
at fever heat by the reported assassi-
nation of Gen. Lee, the demand by
Spain for his recall as Consul-(1eneral
at Havana, and by measures intro
duced into Congress looking to the
national defence and to prepare the
United States for war, if war must
come. What the result of the inquiry
as to the disaster will be and the
action of this country may be when
1t is made, of course, cannot be fore
told. 1t looks as if our Government is
preparing for the worst, though
enigmatical as it may seem, the
passage of a. bill appropriating
$4,000, 900 for the national defence by
Congress, which promptly re-
ceived the signature of the President,
is declared to be a measure of
peace instead of war. During the
trying crisis, it is gratifying TO believe
that this Government has acted with
dignity but with becoming vigor and
promptness-and that while every
reasonable effort is being made to
prevent war that peace between this
country and Spain will be maintained
only so long as it can be done with
honor.
