Who drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but a day;
Better the lowly deed We're done,
And Kept the humble way.
The rust will find the sword of fame.
The dust will hide the CROWN
Ay, none shall nail so high his name
Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat ~,
Was In some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet,
And left to heaven the rest

now In Morocco on a mission which the
department hopes will open a new and
profitable industry in the most arid
sections of our southwest. 1t has been
found that date palms with some irri-
cation will grow as we'll in Arizona as
Arabia. This was discovered years ago
by early Mormon settlers, but the trees
were not Of the best variety and date
growing never developed as an indus
try. Now, however, the department is
prepared to push the experiment on an
extensive scale and DR.. Zwingle is
making full study of the African date
palms, selecting the very finest varie-
ties and those best adapted to our arid
region. Young trees will be shipped to
Arizona and will be planted and cared
for by experts from the department.
They will cost about S. each laid down

after visit to the United States.
While here he devoted some attention

will soon make things uncomfortable

QUESTION OF RIPARIAN RIGHTS
A Long Contested Suit at Last Decided


Long Contested Suit at Last Decided
by the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of Virginia, sit
ting at Wytheville yesterday. decid ed
Il very important case, SO far as the
city of Portsmouth is concerned. 1t is
that of E. V. White, William A. Me
meyer Louisa L. Guthrie ct ais, VS.
the Waverly Water Front Company
w. II. Peters. Elizabeth Nicely, NJ. D.
Eastwood ct ais. involving the ques-
ton of ownership of valuable riparian
rights In this city. and the decision of
the court clears up the title to prop
erty which is estimated to be worth
at least $500 900.
The plaintiffs in this case brought
suit in the Hastings Court of this city
IN 1887, claiming that they owned ex-
clusivcly the riparian rights from their
property on Swimming Point. between
the north end of the old Swimming
Point bridge and the hospital bridge
and that the defendants in the case
had no riparian rights in their prop
erty. The case was transferred to the
Corporation Court of the city of Nor
folk. where Judge ID. Tucker Brooke,
who. on December 29th 1894. after the
matter had been argued at length, de-
cided in favor of the plaintiffs. deny
ing riparian rights to the Waverly
company and the other defendants.
<Ah appeal from Judge BrOOkeS de-
cision was taken. and in January. 1899.
| the case was argued in the Supreme
Court at Richmond.
The \Supreme Court, in session at
Wytheville yesterday. reversed the de-
clsion OF Judge Brooke, and sustained
the Waverly company ct ais, in their
claims. T.. V. White and others were
represented by r. Fl. Baker & Son and
Burroughs & Bro, of Norfolk. Watts
d Ha;ton. of this city, represented the
Wavei1y company.
THE COURTS OPINION.
The court held. under the author
ny OF Groner VS.. Foster. "a Virginia
mat every riparian owner has the
right to the water frontage belonging
by nature to his land. provided that its
exercise shall not obstruct navigation
or in1ure the private rights of any
person, and that equity has jurisdiction,
to apportion and establish the lines of
terminus owners.
William Crawford, to whom the land
was patented. conveyed that line south
or the bay. describing the same as ex-
tending to high water mark, and the
court holds under the act of 1879. as
construed in the case of French VS..
Bankhead the limits were extended by
operation of law down to the ordinary
low water mark. and the right TO the
SOIL between high and low water mark
is aDpurtenant TO the land conveyed BY
crawford and now owned by appellees
lying In the northern part of the pres.
ent city of Portsmouth,"

Yesterday, in the Court of Appeals at
Wythevillc an opinion was handed
down in the case Of the Portsmout h
Gas Company VS.. Sanford. Brooks Il
Bonsal reversing the Hastings Court
of this city.
The case referred to is that OF the
Portsmouth Gas Company VS.. Sanford,
Brooks & Bonsal, which was suit for
$4,000 damages done to the mains of
the former by the latter. At the time
the suit was entered in the Hastings
Court there was money due the de-
PENDANTS by the city OF Portsmouth.
The Gas Company attached these funds,
anu when the matter came up in the
Eustings Court Judge Watts dissolved
the attachment on the ground that
money in the hands of municipal cor
porations is not attachable. From this
decision the plaintiff appealed and the
Supreme Court reversed Judge Watts
decision as stated above.
