The Empress Of Austria was assas-
sinated by an Italian anarchist, named
Luccesi, at Geneva, Switzerland, last
Saturday, as she was walking to a
steamboat wharf. The weapon used
by the anarchist was a small file,
sharpened for the work he had in view.
The Empress died shortly after re-
ceiving the fatal blow. The assassin
was arrested, and said he was "starv-
ing anarchist, with no hatred for the
poor, but only for the rich" He is
also credited with saying that if all an
archists did their duty as he had done
his society would soon disappear. The
laws of Switzerland dc not infict cap
ital punishment, and when convicted
he will be imprisoned. President Nc
Kinley cabled the coincidence of the
American people to the Emperor of
Austria for this deplorable affection.
The whole of Europe is shocked over
the crime. Other monarchical rulers
are believed to be in danger from the
same desperate class to which Luccesi
belongs.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY, In response
to the criticisms that have been made
of the War Department and its man
agement of the war, has determined to
have an official investigation of the
commissary, quartermaster's and med
ical branches of the department. He
appointed a commission, consisting OF
Gen. John NJ. Schofeld, Gen. John b.
Gordon, Gen. Granville NJ. Dodge,
Gen. Charles F. Henderson, d.. D. e.
Gilman, of Johns Hopkins University,
Hon. Robt. r. Lincoln, Hon. Daniel
S. Lamont, DR.. w. W. Keen and Col.
James A. Sexton, to conduct the in
vestigation. The gentlemen named
are among the most eminent In our
country, but they are declining one
by one to serve in the capacity de-
sired, and the personnel will be con-
siderably changed.
We do not think this investigation
will amount to much. Even though
the gentlemen named are recognized
as of the highest character, they are
not likely to get at the bottom of the
matter. In the first place, they would
not have the authority to compel the
testimony of all the witnesses they
might need, and they would not have
the facilities for getting at the whole
truth through the War Department.
In the second place, being men of great
courtesy and urbanity, they would not
want to hurt the feelings or the repu-
tation of anyone, and their kindness Of
heart would stand in the way of that
direct and searching probing that Is
necessary.
If there is an honest desire to show
up the facts congressional investiga-
ton is the thing. A commission of
members of Congress, the political Op-
ponents of the administration as well
as its friends, would not only reach
the facts but make them known, and it
would have sufficient power to get at
the truth. And above all, let the in
vestigation be conducted in the full
light of open day, with no concealment
whatever.

That a railroad conductor has his
troubles like everybody else is conced-
ed. Some times they meet with sur
prises like N. & w. Railway con-
ductor did few days ago. While
taking up tickets after leaving sta
ton some distance down the road he
came to a well dressed man sitting
alone. When he asked him for his
ticket he said he had none. The con-
ductor said that he would have to
have the money or ticket from him,
and the man replied eff you find eth
er about me you will be smarter than
I am" The conductor said, "You
will have to get off of the train at the
next station in that event. The
passenger paused for moment, and
looking at the conductor SAID, "My
dear sir, you don't know who you are
addressing" He put his hand in
his pocket and drawing out a check
book and a pen, dashed off check
for $500, and handing it to the con-
ductor asked him to take the fare out
of that and give him the change, say
ing that the check was all right, as he
had $2,5OO,0OO on deposit in the
banks of Roanoke. The conductor
was partially bewildered, and while
considering what TO do under the cir
cumstances a man stepped up and tap
ping him on the shoulder said, Don't
mind that fellow. He is crazy and
is on his way to the asylum. " The
conductor will keep the check as
memento.

A Great Geological Garden.

The Geological Society of New York
propose to construct what will probably
be the finest geological garden in the
world in Bronx Park, New York. The
society expects to open the garden to
the public in satisfactory way on May
|, 1899. While the work is progressing
with all due rapidity, the old and well
approved plan of relieving biliousness
and constipation through the beneficent
agency of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
finds general recognition. This excel
lent family medicine is safeguard
against malaria and rheumatism, and
removes indigestion and nervousness. 1t
invigorates the system through i'm
proved digestion, fortifies it against dis
ease, and counteracts the effects of over
work, mental or physical.

Winchester Presbytery.

The Presbytery of Winchester, per-
suant to adjournment, convened at
Moore6eld August 3lst, 1898.
The opening sermon was preached
by Rev. J. J. Fix, of Petersburg, Mod
orator. There were present q min
listers and Is ruling elders II minis
tiers absent and 81 churches unrepre-
sented. Rev. ]. R. Graham, Jr., a
missionary to China, was elected mod
orator. Revs. J. W. Laferty and V.
G. Smith were chosen clerks. A Pc
tition was presented from number of
persons at Parsons and Hendricks ask
Ing that Presbyterian Church be or
ganized at those places. Presbytery
resolved to meet at Parsons Sept. 10th
and grant the petition if the way be
clear. Rev. c. w. Hollis rendered his
resignation as pastor of the Davis
church and the congregation was cited
to appear by its commissioners at the
meeting to be held at Parsons and show
cause why the resignation should not
be accepted. The committee on Home
Missions made a report from which it
appears that the churches are falling
behind in their contributions. On mo-
ton it was resolved that sessions of the
churches within our bounds make re-
newed efforts to meet the demands of
this part of the church work.
A commission consisting of Revs. A.
G. Hopkins, D. D., F. NJ. Woods, D..
D., Chas. Ghiselin, D. D., ]. H. Moore
and E. D. Washburn, was appointed
to report at the spring meeting of
Presbytery "as to whether we are do
ing all we should do in the matter Of
Christian education, and if in their
Judgment we are not, to suggest some
plan by which more can be done in
the matter of education Of our chill
dren."
On Friday morning the Presbytery
heard, with a large gathering of peo-
pie, an excellent address from Rev. j.
r. Graham, Jr., on China and his work
among the Chinese.
There was preaching twice every
day attended by large and interested
congregations. Presbytery at Moore
field has always been a delightful &C.
casion and this meeting was no sx-
ception.
Presbytery adjourned Friday night
to meet at Parsons on Sept. 10th. Its
regular spring meeting will be held at
Cedar Cliff Church, near Middletown,
Va.

THE election straws are not blowing
the Republican way, so far this fall.
In Arkansas the Democratic gains are
great and they made clean sweep.
In Vermont the Republican vote fell
off greatly and thirty-three seats in
the Legislature were lost. In Maine
Speaker Reed got 1000 votes less
than he did two years ago, and in the
State there was an average decrease
of 25 per cent in the Republican vote.

be the largest negro woman in the
world. At one time she weighed over
700 pounds, and at the time of her
death tipped the beam at $50 pounds.
She was 80 years of age and her death
was the result of excessive accumula-
ton of adipose tissue.
