"Z-z-zp" went the barrier, down went
the starters flag. and as the bunch of
horses started forward with mighty
bounds four-fifths of the occupants of
the crowded grand stand and the equally

year-olds, who were to run a mile for the

sweating, swearing assistant, and now
remaining flat-footed, gazing attentively
up the long home stretch, while the rest
of the youngsters were dashing madly
for the first time. But at last they were
off, and the starter heaved a sigh of re-
lief and mopped his forehead as he
stepped down from the block. Little

a mighty effort as if to go to the front,
but skillfully and cautiously manage it
so that Oak Leaf would beat him out at
the wire. He had never tried it before,
but he knew he could do it. The first
eighth pole flashed by and he could hear
the %subdued, far-off noise Of the grand
stand. In his nostrils was the old famil-
lar smell of the sweating horses and the
leathery dor of the saddles. Culbert-
son, the colored boy ON his right, was
talking to his horse in his quaint Vir-
ginia dialect, as Tommy had always
known him to do when in the heat Of a
race. Two lengths clear in the lead he
could see the scarlet inc black Of Berger
on Oak Leaf, running freely and steadily.
Then there came in his mind as he noticed

The formation of an ice trust in this

70 Be cREMATED.

The announcement that the remains of
Colonel Ingersoll are to be cremated is
doubtless in line with the expressed
wishes of the deceased. The funeral ex-
%ercises. which will consist of the reading
of one of his ~favorite productions in
verse. entitled MY Creed" and a few re-
marks by a friend relative to his life
work, and the playing or a funeral
march. will end by reducing the tene-
ment of clay to ashes. The ashes will be
preserved in an urn. surmounted by. a
bust of the distinguished dead, and the
curtain will ave been rung down upon
the career of the great agnostic.
1t is a fitting end of one in whose heart
poetic genius found an abiding place.
Though not in rhyme. the poetic rhythm of
his writings betrayed a genius that would
have bejeweled the pen of a Shelley or
added still more somber shades to the
melancholy musings of a Poe. To such
an one, and to his, cremation offers a
charm that cannot be found in the cola,
cruel bosom of the earth. .
The ashes of a loved one UPON THE
mantel-piece. in an urn that bears his
picture or his bust, with an inscription
commemorative OF his virtues and his
achievements, resting perhaps upon the
products of his pen, with favorite me-
mentoes forming a perspective upon the
,,,nIl -. no :l~oJ ..A 4,
Of poetry, all Of sentiment, all of love.
What a wonderful charm such an urn
would have for the living. How priceless
would be its contents to those who loved
the dead.
Mankind has learned to revere the
churchyard and the green mounds that
the noiseless city of dead mems bones we
move with tread of awe and uncovered
heads. Around the flowers upon the
graves of those we love we build the
poetry that calls for tears and in solemn
tones recite the hymns of hope. But
there is not a sentiment of love for the
lost, Of longing for the happy days gone
by, kindled by the mold of the tomb or
the earth worms that destroy the forms
Of the dead, that cannot brighten into
beauty before the urn in whose bosom
rests the peaceful ashes Of those whose
memories are pillowed upon our hearts.
For ages past mankind has Sought to
enrich the memory by an evidence of the
presence of the dead. In Egypt mumii-
cation served the p and the sculo-
tors art has done it's work in the prog
ress of the world. Photography and the
light of memory the forms and Features
of the lost. But above and ~beyond3all
other sacred agencies of love, the grassy
mound and the sOmber headstone have
called back to the memory Of man the
sweet and tender pictures of the past,
Yet time is destined to work an evalu-
ton in the sentimental side of life. Prac-
teal life demands that respect for. the
dead must conform to the interests of
the living, and the marvellous progress
in the work of sanitation must inevitably
lead up to the reign of cremation in tbs
disposition of the dead. Science and SEN
timent will unite in the work of reform
and the day will speedily come when the
world will bless the wisdom of the pio-
neers of the new era who CAV theil
bodies to be burned.

For twenty years the average rainfall

The free schools of Atlantic District
have Lost during the past winter one
of their most stauncb and jealous
friends by the death of DIR. Joseph E..
Brodwater. he was throughout his
long life very much interested in all
that concerned our public schools,
and for almost fifteen years served
faithfully as member of the Board
Of School Trustees, and was from the
organization of our free school sys-
tenn, an earnest supporter and valued
adviser, always counselling caution
and economy. His labor for public
education was purely labor Of love,
for he never received a cent of re-
Enumeration. It is now the desire of
the friends of DR.. Brodwater and we
believe will become that of the schools
to give permanent testimony to the
value of his services and to the es-
TEEN in which he is held by the cree
Glon or shaft TO his memory. The
Trustees, therefore, recommend and
request that each and every teacher
IN the various schools of the district
fully explain this purpose to the
children and take up a voluntary
collection for this worthy object.
While the other friends OF DR.. Brod-
water will aid substantially in this
plan the credit will go mainly to the
schools and hearty response should
come from them. If each teacher can
raise dollar or more, it will aid
greatly in advancing the plan. The
money can be sent to j. D. Parsons,
clerk of Atlantic School Board, and
will be promptly acknowledged.

Horse Exhibition.

The usual Spring exhibition of
horses. March 9th. was not a large
one, but better class of horses in
style, speed and breeding and owing
to the advancing prices of good horses
and fancy steppers breeders seem to
be taking an unusual interest. The
home bred horses were White Tir,
Basil Morrill,, Bell Boy and that good
old horse, Gray Eagle. which gave us
such an interesting race with Clifton
a few years ago at our fair grounds.
Others on exhibition were Elect
Withers and Powell Elect Withers
is q fine bred gray horse that will
make his mark some day. Powell is
a we'll bred dappled bay with good
action, and gave us several fast
brushes up and down the street. The
last but not the least on exhibition
by any means was that glittering
brown horse. Lee Cuyler, which is a
grand son on sire's side and great
grand son on dams side Of that world
renowned horse Hambletonian the
10th. Undoubtedly this is the strong-
est bred Hambletonian ever on this
Peninsula. His natural speed is about
$50, with that big smooth Handle
tonian action, long felt want of the
Eastern Shore breeders His gets are
promising, though yet young. They
took first and second prizes at our
county fairs last year. This horse
cannot fell to produce speed, fancy
steppers and good level headed road
horses and of the type that are in so
much demand in cities and country
at good paying prices

PLANTERS CAN DREDGE
Supreme Court Holds Tho Old Law
Has Been Repeated.

supreme C0urf kAplHH tho Vsu Law
Mas Been Repeated.
Opinions were handed down in four
cases in the Supreme Court of APP
peals yesterday The lower courts
were reversed, except in the case of
Jones vs.. NJ orris, in which the judg-
ment of the Law and Equity Court of
Richmond was affirmed
In the case of Somers We. the Com
monwealth is decided the question as
to whether it ia criminal offence to
take oysters with dredges on private
oyster grounds. The court holds. in
an opinion by Judge Rely, that
dredging on such ground ceased to
be criminal with the passage OF the
act OF March 8, 1903.
The case came to the Supreme
Court from the County Court of
Accomac. The opinion says that the
act of April 90. 1887, (Acts Extra ses>
sion, 1887. page 11s). and the act of
March 5. 1888 (Acts 1878, page 4S6),
amendatory thereof, among other
things, contained provision against
dredging on private oyster ground
even by the owner of the planted oys.
tiers, prescribing penalty for each
violation. Neither of the above acts is
affected by the adoption of the Code
of 1887. BY the act of March 8, 1893
(Acts 1878, page 745), the act of
March 5, 1888, and section 214S of the
Code, are amended and re- enacted,
and while the provision against
dredging is retained there is no PEN
atty prescribed for its violation.
The court holds that the latter act
was intended to be repeal of all
parts and provisions of the statutes
amended, which were omitted from
it. 1t is necessarily implied that
what is left out is no longer in force.
The judgment of the lower court is
reversed, and the warrant against
the plaintiff in error for dredging on
his private ground is dismissed
