MISS FTAD

In the death of Miss Anna M. Flad, which occurred December 3d, many hearts are called to mourn the loss of a young lady who gave much promise of future usefulness and who already had filled post where she rendered efficient service, that of teacher in the school connected with the Zion German Luth- eran church on Davenport avenue. She had also taught in the Sunday school for years past and was a devoted Chris tian. All that tender, loving care and medical skill could do to arrest the progress of the disease which ended her life were unavailing. She died after an illness of several weeks at her home, "A Sylvan avenue. She leaves to deeply mourn her death her widowed mother and two brothers. She was in her twenty ninth year. The funeral ser vices will take place at her late home this morning at 10 o'clock, and from the Zion Lutheran church at 10:30 o'clock, the pastor, Rev. Edward li. Fisher, officiating.

the general public that we should nave as
many cars as possible running on Main
street, The time is coming when electric
cars win run from Fulton to Ninth or
Seventh streets and up Broad street to
the Auditorium. When new franchise
is given for the Main and Broad-street
routes, quite certainly one of its condi-
tions will be that cars shall run without
transferring passengers from Fulton to
the Auditorium. But for that change we
shall have to wait few years, while. IL
tho CITY Council will allow It, the trans
fer OF cars from the Franklin and Bank
street route may be made in few weeks.
No substantial objection to this change
occurs TO us, while the arguments in IA
yor OF II are weighty and numerous, and
we. therefore, hope that the City Council
will give the petition OF the Richmond
Railway and Electric Company early and
favorable consideration. Whatever smacks
OF real progress. whatever promises the
greatest good to the greatest number,
should win the favor OF the public and of
the Council.

LIE WAN SHOULD COME.

!. II IS true that war with Spain would
probably not be n long one; but. owing
90 the fact that the United states has
no army with which TO invade either
Spain or Cuba. II would resolve itself into
contest upon the sea until an army
made up OF volunteers could be created
and got into such shape as TO justify It's
use for purposes OF invasion. Such
war could not be concluded in less than
year, because nothing could be decided
until the United States could land troops
on Spanish soil, and there dictate terms
of settlement.-Sew Orleans Picayune.
II the United States could once join its
forces with those Of the Cubans, II would
not be great while before the spaniards
would be compelled TO surrender posses
sion OF the little territory they now hold
on that island.
AS we understand, the Cubans stand
not so much in need of men as OF artii-
lery and artillerymen and Of ammunition
Of all descriptions. These wants OF
theirs we could supply. for Cuba mas
many ports, and into one OF them we
could force entrance, though opposition
and delay might be expected.
II may be said that Spain would In
crease It's army in Cuba. Doubtless 1t
would; but for every man that 1t could
bring across the ocean and land there
we ought TO be able TO land five. But
It will be said that most of ours would
be raw recruits. Granted. But 80 would
be most of SPANS. All the reinforce
ments sent by Spain to Cuba for year
or two past have been of fresh conscripts.
1t is to be presumed that If she could
have sent better soldiers she would have
done so.
As to the duration of n war. the Plea
yune may or may not be right. In 1851
both the North and South were vastly
mistaken as to the time it would take
to bring hostilities to a close. President
Lincoln's first call was for 9O-days' troops.
And in the South many believed that II
we made a strong show of resistance
we should not be attacked at all.
But, as is well known, large bodies move
slowly, and the assembling, organizing,
equipping of armies is thing that cannot
be done in a day no matter how i'm
patient the public may get. nor how loudly
they may murmur.

AFATAL FIRE AT PHEOBUs.

Uurned to Death.

HAMPTON, VA, March 25.-CSpeclal')-
disastrous fire occurred near Phoebus
at an early hour this morning, three
houses being destroyed, and an inmate or
the Soldiers Home, who was sleeping IN
the house in which the fire originated
losing his life. Three men were sleeping
I'm the house, and were awakened by The
smoke. They were on the second lloor,
and when they attempted to escape found
their way blocked by the flames that
poured from the front room. TWO CT
them retained their presence of mind, and
jumped from the windows, but the third
man must have lost his way. and his
charred body was found after the hre was
extinguished. Some three or four Valua-
BILE pet dogs that were kept on the second
floor were also burned. 1t is not known
how the fire originated, as there were no
fires in the house.

The French Government is still trying
taking petty revenge upon all who figured
in the lola trial on the side of the novel
list. The latest instance of this concerns
Colonel Picquart, who was prominent in
that a number Of Budapest citizens wish
ed to present Colonel Picquart with a
finely jewelled sword, designed and made
expressly for him. When the weapon was
stand that by presenting it they would
subject Hungarians resident in France to
annoyance and perhaps danger. They,
therefore. paid for the sword, and left il
with the maker, waiting for a moro OPP
perfume occasion, but soon afterwards the
Budapest police confiscated the sword by
order of the Prime Minister The pretext
was that the Hungarian arms were en-
graved on blade and scabbard, and that
without the authorization Of the govern
ment no one is allowed to use the Hun
garian arms. The prohibition, hitherto,
has been generally supposed to apply to
commercial goods only, and it is reported
that the French Consul-General prevailed
upon the Hungarian authorities to have
the sword confiscated to prevent its pre-
sentation. Great Indignation is expressed
at his interference and at the complais-
ance Of the home ministry touching the
matter.
