Judge j. W. @. BLACKSTONE Has Granted
III the LNwYert, Petition.

Judge j. w. G.. Blackstone will open
his courts in Newport News. Warwick
and Elizabeth City at the regular time
and will also hold a special. term in
each of these places later in the fall
eFther in October or November.
Some time ago a petition was freely
circulated among the members of the
bar of Newport News and Hampton re-
Tuesting Judge Blackstone, in view OF
the yellow fever scare and the consc-
Quent quarantine regulations which
made it almost impossible for the mem
hers Of the bar to properly prepare foc
the business of the courts TO omit his
regular terms in Newport News, War
wck and Elizabeth City, and, in lieu
thereof, to hold special terms later in
the year.
This petition was signed by the mem
beTs of the bar Of both this city and
Hampton and was ws1dsd several
days ago to the judge by Attorney Ar
thur s. Segar. with the request that,
upon Its receipt Judge Blackstone wire
his decision in the matter.
Mr.. Scgar has received the following
telegram:
Tasley, Va, Aug. Goth.
+, "A. S. Segar,
Newport News, Va
Will formally open regular terms.
Will grant special, terms as requested IN
petition. j. w. G. BLACKSTONE.
There is great volume of business
TO be transacted by the count in this
city, and 1T was impossible for the local
attorneys to give proper preparation to
their cases, as the time of most of them
was very much taken up during the en-
tolcement of the quarantine with du-
ties pertaining to the quarantine line.
AT the regular term, therefore, only
such matters will be taken VI, as require
immediate action, and il is thought that
they Will occupy only a small amount
Of the courts time. The greatest bulk
or the business win he showed over to
the special term which Will be held by
Judge Blackstone either in October or
November.
The regular term will be held here

The opinion of the world outside
of France seems to be mostly that
Drey!us was unjustly condemned, but
whether that be true or not, the
proposition put forth in some quar-
tiers that France should be CONDEMNED
and the French exposition boy
cotted, is not only an absurdity, but
an insult to a nation that Was a
friend to America when friends were
needed. If French militarism has
committed great wrong, that
wrong will be righted, no matter how
long it takes. The result OF the
court martial may be distasteful,
wrong and unjust, but all the French
people do not endorse it and the
whole nation should not be con-
demned. Besides, this is, after all, a
matter concerning the administra-
ton OF France, and we ought to be
careful about interfering.

"AnOther phenomenal feature OF the
situation is the epidemic OF Ca'vinism
which has broken. out among the ex-
pansionists. There If such an over
whelming convection OF divine destiny
among them that it looks as though, If
the crisis were to be continued for much
longer. the remaining traces OF the Ar
minianism would all be erased with the
stiff brush OF predestination. We are
not intending this as critism Of the
doctrine Of God in history, but it is one
thing to say that God'srurpose is bein g
fulfilled in the world, and a very different
thing to undertake. to translate in Eng
lish the particular end that God has IN
view in the successive events that trans
pire in the world. Religious people with
an axe to grind have always apologized
for what was queer, tricky and cruel in
their dealings with others by referring
it to divine determination; it relieves the
strain unspeakably to be able to make
God take the brunt OF it. Devoutnes is
surprisingly easy when it works in a way
to wind halo about our own achieve
ments. The direct ors OF Ger tain inst :
tuition onceinvpsted III a piece OF property
that seemed so likely to appreciate in
value that it was evident to them that
the Lords hand must have been in it.
Before the adjournment or the meeting,
at which the investment WIS reported
by the finance committee, one Of the
members offered prayer OF thanksgiv-
ing to Almighty God and then they all
rose aud sang the Doxology. That was
twenty-five years or 80 ago. God was
undoubtedly in the investment, but, al
though that hoard was made up Of
Christians men who believe in divine des-
my, yet for the past twenty years those
directors have spent d great deal more
time in paying taxes on that piece of
property and hunting for dividends than
they have in praising the Lord for lead
ing them INTO that exceedingly unfortu-
nate investment. Taxes are wOnder-
fully calculated to pare 1ff the loose ends
OF mems belief in Providence And
while it is to be- hoped that we shall
never cease to believe that the Lord was
somehow in the Americo-Spanish war
and in Dewey's thrilling victory at Man
la, it is safe to say that we shall not feel
quite SO prepared to state what exactly
the Lord meant by it all and to spell out
ali his purposes into sylIables and words
after we have carried the Investment for
a dozen years and strnck the balance be.
