BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.
There has been no break worthy of
note in the general volume of business.
AT leading points, according to Dun's
review, there is wholesome tone in
trade. In Chicago retail trade suffers
from unfavorable weather, but sales
keep up we'll. Mail orders are fair and
shipments on previous orders continue
liberal, and in underwear and dress
business is excellent. Wholesale houses
in most lines are quite busy. with grati-
flying Improvements in notions and
more confident buying at advanced
prices in boots and shoes. Large sales
are reported for early delivery in ladies'
sets and furs, and accounts are good
from clothing, hats and caps, and mems
furnishing houses.
In Philadelphia money is firm at 81 to
6 per cent. Scarcity of cars retards
deliveries of anthracite and bituminous
coal, for which the demand is good.
Trade continues steady in iron, steel
and hardware, and wool is strong and
active, with advances in many grades.
Manufacturers are buying more freely,
and the entire textile trade shows a
decided Improvement over last year.
| AT Boston merchandise markets are
strong and active, with retail trade i'm
proving, and large sales of 5seasonable
goods.
| At Baltimore general trade continues
good, though the demand for some COM
modites falls off slightly. Retail trade
is good owing to fair weather
At Detroit the demand for loans is
quite strong, with rates firm, and coli
lections good. General jobbing and
manufacturing business shows satisfac-
/ tory Increase. With prices firm for all
leading staples. Lake traffic is very
large in volume, with rates higher than
a year ago.

ArouseS Baptist Clergy.

The recommendation OF the minis
tiers appointed by Governor Tyler
for a chaplain in the penitentiary en-,
dorsed by Superintendent Helms in
his annual report, has aroused live
ly interest among the Baptist clergy
of Richmond.
The Baptist attack the appoint
ment of chaplain on the grounds OF
a violation of the distinct separation
of matters of church and State.
They claim that for over one hundred
years they have led the fight in Vir-
GINA for religious liberty, and point
with pride to the fact that at the
University of Virginia, the Virginia
Military Institute, Blacksburg, or IN
no penal or other State institutions
have chaplains ever been appointed
Even the Legislature, while having
religious service by volunteers has
never had regular chaplain.
A prominent Baptist said this
morning. They might just as well
as far as the principle is concerned,
appoint q chaplain for the public
schools. The Baptists have contend
ed for religious liberty SO long that
they would repel the first violation
of the principle that brought an ex-
ercise of religious right within the
Jurisdiction of the State"
It is not certain that the appoint
ment of a chaplain to the penitenti-
airy will come up in the Legislature,
but if it does the Baptists will furnish
some lively arguments against its
adoption. Richmond News.

Admiral Dewey is not the idol OF
the American people that he was a
few short days ago. Having offend
ed them by transferring the home
they had given him, to Mrs. Dewey
their condemnation of him of late
has been as liberal as their praise OF
him had been unstinted and un-
bounded heretofore. That he WINGED
under the TRADE of abuse to which
he has been subjected and has risen
to explain was natural, but now that
he has explained his conduct, Of
course, it will be accepted as salts
factory to the hero worshippers, who
in the twinkling of an eye were dis
posed to pour out so abundantly the
Walls of their wrath upon him. 1t is
at least gratifying to those who wor-
shipped him from afar. to be inform,
ed, that the transfer of the home was
not made to defraud his creditors or
to avoid the consequences OF breach
of promise suit, as was charged, but
through affection for Mrs. Dewey
and eventually in the interest of her
only son. The hero of Manila de-
served to be trusted more and to be
treated better, and it is to be hoped,
that he will not be compelled again
to expose his domestic affairs to vim
dictate himself from charges which
may be made against him.

Remains of John Paul Jones.

Fredericksburg, Va, Nov. 10
Considerable interest is felt here over
the finding in Paris of the remains of
John Paul Jones, first Admiral of
the American Navy and who hoisted
the first star spaugled banner on the
seas, who resided here from 177S to
1775, and was commissioned as a
lieutenant in the navy from Freder
icksburg. This was the first and only
home he ever lad in America. Judge
John L. Goolrick, of this city, has
been interchangeable in his efforts to
secure authentic information on this
subject, and through him this history
has just been brought to light.
It is understood that an appropria
ton will be made by the next Cons
gress to convey the remains of John
Paul Jones to America under the es-
cort of an American fleet, and they
will be inferred, it is thought, either
at Arlington or in this city.
William. a brother of John Paul
Jones, also resided here, and the lat
ter administered on the formers es-
tate. fredericksburg was then a
part of Spotsylvania county, and the
court records show his appointment
as administrator

The bubonic plague is the latest
disease to be brought to this country
from abroad and is, it seems, more to
be dreaded than any which has
threatened us yet since this country
started on it's career of territorial ex
pansion and opened up the way for
the introduction into our midst "of
every i'll to which human flesh Is heir
to.n So far it is confined to Swim.
burne Island, N. Y, and the captain
and cook OF steamer which arrived
last week so far are the only ones
afflicted with the disease. That 1t
will continue to be confined to that
place, it is believed, as every precau-
ton is being made to that end and
should be, if it has half the terrors
which are credited to it. 1t is said
to be more deadly than small po1 or
black vomit and once having obtain
ed footing in a country, that it is
almost impossible to arrest its prog
ress. In India where it started at
times whole villages and towns have
to be burned for the purpose of des-
troyipg the germs and thereby get
ting rid of it.

Vice President Hobart is dead. He
passed away at his home at Patter
son, n. j., Tuesday morning and to
the surprise of the people OF the
country, as he had shown such i'm
proyement of late, that the hope was
held out that he would recover. That
his early death is regretted by the
people OF every class and party does
not admit of doubt. Personally be
seems to have deserved the good
opinion in which he was held by all
who knew him, and while he was not
a man of very great ability, it can be
said of him, since he was elevated to
the second highest place in the gift
of the people of the United States,
that his record has been such as to
commend him to the people of the
country and to win for him universal
respect.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1899.
Entered at the Postofflce at Accomac
@. H., Vs., as second-class matter.

The leading issues of the next
democratic national campaign, as
given out at meeting of the Demos
cratic National Executive Committee
in Chicago on Monday, are to be
anti trusts and anti-imperialism.
With these battlecries and silver,
though not ignored altogether SO far
in the background that it will not be
Objectionable even to the gold demo
Gratis, it is believed, that the most OF
them can and will vote for Mr.. Bryan
next year. Such at least seems to be
the program of the members of the
Executive Committee, by which in
their opinion, that harmony is to be
promoted among all class OF demo
Gratis which means victory to them
in the next presidential contest. In
other words while the Chicago plat
form of 1896 is to be reafflrmed, as re
commended by the Executive Coms
mittee, and the lovers of the white
metal thereby appeased, the silver
part of it is to be so overshadowed
by other planks which will be added
to it that no one, however much he
may be opposed to 16 to l. need to
have cause for alarm and withhold
his vote from Mr.. Bryan. Harmony
ell along the line in 1900 is to be the
watchword of the democratic leaders
and the best way of promoting 1t
seems to have controlled the Com
mittee in its deliberations. The plat
form, as contemplated, looks as if 1t
might be broad enough for all demo
Gratis to get upon it.

The report of the State Board OF
Fisheries for the eighteen months of
the operation of the law creating the
bosrd, since April, 1898, is in the
hands of the Governor and shows in
unmistakable figures, says the Rich

been successful beyond the expecta-
tions Of those who framed it. The
board accompanies the report with a
number of suggestions to the Cover
nor regarding changes to be made by
the next General Assembly. There
are also several important changes
recommended in the general law re-
garding the taxation of tongers, the

Reports From Hospital.

At the Board of Health meeting yes
terday afternoon the usual reports
were read and approved.
Food Inspector Shorey reported that
in order to- get a proper standard of
pure milk he had, in company with
Deputy Marshal Chill'ngworth, visited
one of the dairies and had obtained u
sample for analysis. He recommended
for an official standard lis per cent
solids and % per cent butter fat. Ac-
ton was deferred on the matter until
further effort had been made in the
prosecution of vendors OF diluted milk.
Moved and carried that the Hilo hos
pital physician be requested by the
secretary to furnish full monthly re-
port with n diagnosis OF all the cases.
4 communication from Sheriff An
drews. under date of May 2S. was read.
He reported that the fever epidemic
was still raging in the city. II is wide
spread. affecting All classes TIL.
some doubt among the Physicians
whether or not the fever is the genu-
inc typhoid.
\ motion was made and carried that
the secretary be instructed To write to
DR.. Moore. of Hilo. for a full report re-
garding the fever epidemic.
Forms OF tenders for various sup
plies were adopted and ordered pub
lished.
DIR. Wood. acting for DIR. Day. who
was absent, presented a statement III
regard to the bills OF health rs they
are received from San Francisco. The
Government, he said. is employing
every means in its power to- guard
against the appearance OF the plague
or smallpox, so far as the Orient Is
concerned. Physicians are stationed in
China and Japan and the passengers
coming from that way are thoroughly
inspected by the local port physician.
But the bill of health of steamers COM
ing from San Francisco is apparently
drawn up without any investigation IN
regard to the prevalence OF contagious
diseases. DR.. Wood then cited in
stances where authoritative news re-
garding smallpox cases appearing IN
San Francisco had been published. but
no notice had ever been taken OF them
in the steamers bill OF health. Il
seems right. continued the doctor. that
the Consul General at least mention
the fact and state whether or not the
disease had actually appeared in the
city, in order that more drastic meas
ures might be put into force ut this
end to guard against it.
After some discussion. in which all
the members coincided with the views
expressed by DR.. Wood. the matter was
put into the hands of President Cooper.
The Board then went into executive
session. The following were present:
President Cooper. Secretary Wilcox.
