A STORM OF PROTEST
Regarding the Maria Teresa-smnii-
Pox In Norfolk.

NORFOLK, VA. october 2--(SpeciaLJ
The report that the former Spanish cruiser
Maria Teresa would sail for New York to-
morrow has caused a storm OF protest In
Norfolk and Portsmouth. The Navy De-
partment had previously given assurances
that the ship should be reconstructed here
and limitations that the work would be
done elsewhere are resented by this COM
munity. The Merritts say the ship Will
be delivered In Hampton Roads. and that
the government will not care to risk the
trip further north.
II is stated in navy circles that the
Yacht glnboats Eagle and Vixen have
been selected for further duty in Cuban
waters The work of removing the mines
in Habana harbor. it is stated. may be
intrusted 10 them. Both are at present
in ordinary, and must be commissioned.
Richard Forbes was convicted In the
County Court Of Norfolk of burglary,
with intent TO commit criminal assault,
anc his punishment fixed at thirteen years
In the penitentiary. His counseFs mo-
ton for a new trial and for arrest OF
judgment were overruled.
The attempt to relnstall the great day
beacon of the dangerous Diamond Shoals,
Cape Hatteras. has been practically
abandoned The Merritt wrecking ap-
paratus returned to-day. Supervising
Engineer Bowerman, however, still hopes
to have the wrecked beacon.
The third case of smallpox this week
developed to-day. and was promptly iso-
lated. The general vaccination Is still

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In John Esten Cookies History of Vir-
ginia, which l have just read with great
pleasure. and which ! heartily recommend
20 your readers, both young and DID,
find the following statements:
Page 3l5-"As the King declined TO pay
for them" Chat is. the small golden
horseshoes which Governor SpOtswood
had made for his companions who cross
cd the mountains with HIM, "SpOtswood
cid so out OF his own pocket, and one Of
them is still preserved, perpetuating the
Virginia order Of the knights of the
Golden Horseshoe
Also, page Sl7-"Thirteen Of the pirates
were hung at Williamsburg, and Black
boards skull. fashioned into drinking
cup and trimmed with silver, is still pre-
served in Virginia"
l would like much to know where these
interesting relics-the horseshoe and the
cup made of Blackbeard's skull--can be
found. j. r.

Perhaps some Dispatch reader may be
able TO answer this.

acres pay as he improves II, think he
should follow the plans OF nearly all our
farmers so situated Milk Is the principal
money crop from the farms near Wash
ington. SIX or eight cows could be kept
at first on the place, and after the young
manager gained In experience and I'm
proved his land. the number could be
doubled Six cows coming fresh In sep
TENDER or October, fed on a good balanced
ration through the winter, then fed all
they will eat of some soiling crop while
on grass. should bring in $3.50 to 500 gross
the first year. and by breeding 10 a good
Jersey or Guernsey bull. or by buying
good heifer calves from a neighbor, the
herd could be improved and enlarged at
very little cash outlay.
Selling crops could be sown in the fol-
lowing order: Rye and winter oats In
the fall; then oats and Canada peas,
followed by clover and sweet corn. The
ears Of the corn can often be sold In
Washington at from 8 TO 10 cents per
dozen, leaving the stalks TO feed. Pota-
toes, as a rule. will pay a profit above
cost of fertilizer and labor. and will leave
the land in excellent condition for a crop
Of wheat and grass.
Next. taking the home or neighborhood
market into consideration, three brood
sows, which should raise two litter OF
pigs each year; these pigs should Sell
for 81 each at eight weeks old-making
quite a nice little income from the hogs.
In many parts OF this State strawber-
ries for the home market are quite proh-
table, customers coming TO the garden
for them and paying from to cents per
quart.
1 should prefer a three-year rotation
for that farm. First corn and potatoes,
putting on not less than thirty bushels
Of lime per acre. and 600 pounds OF some
good potato fertilizer on the potatoes
Follow with wheat sown to clover and
timothy, using crimson clover on all the
land used for soiling crops. think that
NJ a. II. will find that when he can
get set Of either crimson or red clover.
the land will improve very fast. The
manure from the cows with the lime
will nearly always give set of clover,
and that clover sod turned down will
bring a profitable crop of any kind.
Should NJ. A. II. conclude to follow the
plan l have laid out. think he will be
able TO make a good living from the in
come from his cows. hogs. and hens.
and will see his land improving each year
As the greatest expense we have is labor.
he must always put that item foremost
in his calculations. j.

To Clean Bathtubs and Marbles.
From an EXchangeO

If a bathtub Is zinc-lined it can be made
to look like a silver tub if rubbed vigo-
rously with a cloth moistened by kero-
sene. In fact, a housekeeper would do
well TO see that such a tub gets a weekly
rub of this kind all through the year.
That distressing water-mark which oc-
ours often in the tub of the best-regulated
families needs to be watched, ana il can
surely be avoided by the weekly kerosene
rub. II the tub is marble, and has been
discolored by drippings from the faucet,
scour it with pulverzed chalk. moistened
with ammonia. Another good way 10
clean marble is to use a strong solution
of washing soda. into which little whit
ing has been dissolved. Cover the marble
with the mixture, and let it remain on
for an hour. Then rub it off and polish
the marble with alcohol.

New Town, Va.
Barney is a village and castle OF Ire
land, in Munster. on rivulet of its own
name, four miles northwest of Cork, and
surrounded by beautiful scenery. The
castle and groves Of Barney are cele-
brated in song. The castle, which once
belonged to the Earls Of Clancarty, stands
on steep rock, at the base Of which is
a deep valley. Among the relics in this
picturesque ruin is the famous Barney
stone. which, according to the popular
opinion, imparts to those who kiss 1t a
REGULAR style Of elo Iuence, or great
SKILL in the use of complimentary speech.
And so when one uses soft, wheedllng
speeches to gain some end, he is accused
OF having kissed the Blarney stone, for
whoever resorts to this trick acquires
persuasive capacity which is irresistible.
The Barney stone is triangular, low
cred from the north angle of the castle.
about twenty feet from the top and con-
tains this inscription: "Cormac Mao
Carthy FORTS me fierl fecit. A. d.. 1876"
Cormack Mccarthy held the Castle Of
Barney in 1902, and concluded an armis-
tice with Carew, the Lord President. on
condition of surIendering the fort to the
English garrison. Day after day his
Lordship looked TO the fulfilment of the
terms, but received nothing except pro-
tocols and soft speeches. till he became
the laughingstock Of Elizabeth's minis
tiers and the dupe OF the Lord of Barney.

which follows the harvest moon.
