JOHN n. CARY.

Everybody here will agree that the
death Of Colonel John Batops Cary is a
great loss to Richmond. He was chief
among our young old men. He had
reached the age Of IS years and had long
been in poor health. yet almost to the last
he was as enthusiastic as boy.
lie was q busy man at all times. but
his active aid always could be counted
upon whenever an enterprise was TO be
undertaken for the advancement Of Rich
mond's interests. His public spirit was
shown I'm a hundred different ways. He
had done his duty faithfully as Con-
federate soldier. He was Jealous and
indefatigable in church work. He had
served as the chairman Of our City Demo
cratic Committee and had shouldered
the burdens Of many hard-fought politi-
cal campaigns. He had identified himself
with municipal affairs and the public
school system. and with great advantage
10 our community He was also a leader
IN all movements here having for their
object the preservation of the history of
the southern struggle for independence
ana sllEllla part ll"iclls anu Mltllul
he had "a tear for pity and hand open
as day for melting charity" whether the
object were an old Confederate soldier,
n widow, or an orphan whose history
was known 10 him, or the veriest
stranger.
In fine the Dispatch can truly say Of
Colonel Cary that he was a citizen whose
ability. high character. courtesy, energy,
and public spirit reflected credit upon
Richmond. and whose useful record
presents an example worthy Of general
emulation, and especially by the many
who having reached middle age have
~Selfshly renowned public affairs and
sought the ease Of private life.

OUT II HIGHLAND.
Critically Ill a. the Result of n Sim
guIur Accident.

MONTEREY. VA. January 1S.-(Spe-
cial)-Mr. Jacob y. Hull, who lives three
miles south of Monterey, is confined to
his bed. and in a critical condition, as a
result Of a very singular accident.
Mr.. Hull is not only a hghly-respected
citizen, but is known throughout the
county as a great hunter, being as sure
Of the game on which he levels his Win
chester as though it was already bagged.
On the occasion Of the accident. however,
he was hunting small game with an old
muzzle-loading shotgun. and while re-
plcing a defective cap ne placed the butt
Of the gun against his abdomen. when
the hammer slipped from his fingers and
the load was discharged The rebound,
or kick" rendered Mr.. Hull unconscious,
and he lay for several hours alone in the
mountain. He was finally found by his
son. who was also hunting, and removed
to his home The injuries sustained are
internal.
The members of the Monterey Epworth
League gave their first social at the resi-
dence Of Mrs c. w. Trimble few nights
since A supper was served, and the eve
ming was spent in social conversation and
innocent games. About seventy-five per-
sons were present, all Of whom pro-
nounced this. the leagues first effort IN
that direction, quite a success.
The ice harvest is over with the peo-
pie of our town and section. the quality
taken during the past week being I'M
usually good and the weather excellent
for the work.
Messrs. r. X. Burns. Henry Yeager
and c. c. Burner, all prominent citizens
from Pocahontas county, w. Va, have
been i'm Highland for several days.
An extended session of the Board OF
Supervisors was held on Monday and
Tuesday 1t was largely attended by
persons interested in the county roads.

ART AND COMMERCE..

The New York Herald of yesterday
prints a large and well-executed cartoon,
with the legend, wake up" 1t repre-
sents a harbor scene. In the Immediate
foreground is a dilapidated wharf, upon
which lies sleeping sailor labelled
"New York" Pasted over the sailors
head is a placard. on which is printed
Chamber of Commerce report for 1897:
decrease of foreign commerce al this
port. S2,153OH; increase at all other ports,
$685. 9947l3." of from the wharf and
in ,he water. are four steamships, from
each Of which flies big flag and these
flags bear the following inscriptions, re-
spectively: Merchandise from Hamburg
to Boston; Merchandise. from Liver
pool 10 Baltimore; Merchandise from
Antwerp to San Francisco; Merchandise
from Havre to New Orleans"
The cartoon is good in many Of it's de-
tails. but it shows that the artist lacks
breadth Of conception and appreciation
Of the prominent place truth occupies in
real art Did he possess these latter
faculties, he would have introduced ir.o
his picture a fifth steamship. with a flag
bearing the words, Merchandise from
various European ports to Newport
News"

HAMA AND NrkINLEY.

The election of Mark Hanna to succeed
himself in the United States Senate, and
the means by which his victory" was
achieved. have caused widespread dis
gust.
The Boston Herald. which is classed
as Independent Republican IN politics
says that the outcome Of the fight brings
into decided prominence the "victors"
ability for political work and manipula-
ton. and then adds that Hanna, so far
from being an ideal senator, is. indeed
the REORGANIZATION Of an influence in
this republic which seriously threatens
its existence as an orderly form cf GOV
eminent"
She Providence Rhode Island Journal,
which is a stalwart Republican. uses still
more direct English in expressing its
opinion on the subject. The Journal de-
clares that Hanna's election emphasizes
an unwholesome tendency in American
politics. The Senate. it continues, is to
be dumping-ground. not for rich men
alone with a desire for political aggran-
dizement. but for party bosses, who think
that in this manner they may ultimately
escape the reproach which attaches to
thewhole system of bossism In conclusion.
our Providence contemporary strikes at
the administration by asking why should
they che Bosses be content any longer
with being the power behind the throne?
The New York Times, which, in the last
presidential campaign was especially ac-
tive in the work Of effecting a coalition
between the boiling Democrats and the
party Of which Hanna is the boss, re-
marks. in announcing Marks election.
that $50 open triumph Of money over
honesty and decency has not often been
celebrated" Further. the Times after
summarizing the charges as TO the man
ner in which Hanna's election was ac-
complished says that the time has been
when the Senate of the United States
would have taken notice Of such charges
and required the man against whom they
were brought to purge himself Of them
before admitting him 70 sit among it's
members but nobody imaencs that such
a course win be followed now
Aud even the New York 1sibune. in
treating Of the matter, is apologize.

the narrow majority by which Mark won,
and having admitted that III would be
foolish TO pretend that the main Incidents
Of the struggle are legitimate source OF
pride 20 those engaged I'm a." the Tribune
makes this declaration: Furthermore. II
was thoroughly understood that Mr..
Hanna's defeat would be proclaimed.
and to some extent construed. as con-
domination Of the national administration.
and II was felt that President Mckinley
had every claim 10 be exempted from
such a penalty"

4 Card from Dr. winston.

Richmond. Va. January lj' 1870
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Your account Of my remarks. made on
Yesterday in the House Of Delegates on
the Prison Association bill. introduced by
myself. might be misunderstood by your
readers | wish IL distinctly understood
that | made no charge against the man
ayers Of the institution; for | believe that
the board is composed of gentlemen VINO
are incapable Of knowingly or willingly
doing anything wrong nor do l beHeVe
that they have in any way transcribed
the authority vested in them by law.
In the preface OF my speech | distinctly
stated that / would confine my argument
10 three propositions:
]. In regard to the question Of public
policy.
?. In regard to the rights Of parents over
their own children.
3. In regard to the expense to the State.
AS YOU know, the Prison Association OF
Virginia is a private corporation. over
which the State has neither supervision
nor control. and II is question In my
mind whether II Is right To confer upon
any private corporation the powers that
are now vested I'm the Prison Association
Nor do | believe that the Legislature has
the moral right, where no crime has been
committed by a minor, to deprive parent
OF the legal custody OF that child. and
vest IL in any association or body Of men.
especially when they are not under the
supervision and control Of the state, for
an unlimited number Of years.
In referring on yesterday TO the boys
who have been i'm the Prison Association
OF Virginia as long as seven years. ana 10
the shackles worn by some Of them, did
not wish 10 intimate that the said asso-
citation was doing anything Illegal but
simply cited these cases to Illustrate the
authority that they have and are eXer-
cisin..
While ! am I'm no sense hostile TO re-
formatories, yet believe that they should
be entirely under the supervision ana con-
troll OF the State: or else such safeguards

Find an Indictment.
FINCASTLE. VA, January 3.-(Spe-
cial)-Botetourt County Court has Just
closed it's session, our new Judge. G.. w.
breckenridge. sitting for the first time.
The term was a short one, but con-
siderable amount Of business was pushed
through.
In the case Of G. G. Chase, for ~
shooting of NJ. Iinkenhoger, which
caused the latter's death. the grand jury
failed to find an indictment, as it was
clearly a case of self-defence, and Mr..
Chase was discharged.
Four tramps who broke into Mr. Erin
gers house. on Back creek. about eight
miles from town. on the Shenandoah VAL
lev railroad, and stole, among other
things. some whskey. were tried ana
gwen two years each in the penitent-
airy. But for the whiskey they might
have made their escape. Shortly after
leaving the house they commenced drink
ing. and. getting drunk, loitered on the
way and were overhauled.

He never had time TO play
He never had time 10 rest
But he worked away and thought Of

When what he had done would attest
The usefulness of his life.
His worth as a man among men;
Then he would quit the strife
He would rest on his laurels then.
As a bOndman chained he shaved,
Ever looking ahead.
As a miser he boarded and saved,
Grudging his daily bread,
Beyond was a happy day
Nearer and nearer il drew
When his work should be put away
And care should be banished, too,
At last, upon day,
When the sun was low I'm the West,
He put his work away,
And sat him down 10 rest.
But where was the dreamed-Of bliss?
And why was il now denied?
Things seemed 10 be going amiss-
So he brooded awhile and died.

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know It Absolutely cures
When Other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
/ Stillingia and little lodide Of Potassium.
Besides these excellent Alternatives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
1t also contains those great kidney rene
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision OF regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla
matter OF surprise? You can SEQ why
Hoods Sarsapariila cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds OF medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles OF
