Salisbury Cuts His Hair,

The proceedings in the British parlia

interest. The Marquis of Salisbury who
has returned to London from the south
OF France, reappeared in the house of
lords on Friday evening. His holiday
on the Riviera has resulted in a great
Improvement in his health. Much
amusement was caused by the fact that
he had his usually long hair close crop-
ped, with the result, as one paper saws.
of Transforming him from a cavalier
into a roundhead."
The most interesting parliamentary
event was the Introduction by the lord
chief justice. Baron Russell of Killowen
of his bill against illicit secret commits

port of the investigating committee Of
the London Chamber of Commerce re-
Gently denounced so strongly and urged
the adoption OF legislative measures to
correct. Lord Russell Numbered against
secret commissions with an indignation
which awed even the house of lords.
His bill proposes to extend the law af
fecting public bodies to commissions on
all business transactions, making such
secret payments criminal offense. His
lordship mentioned number of cases
some of them very painful, showing the
prevalence of the system and the injury
done thereby to trade and morals.
The lord high chancellor, Earl Halls

company should at any time In any
manner enter into a combination d.
rectly or indirectly with any other gas
company. Its ordinance and privileges
should become null and void and all

on THE 20TH DAY OF FEBRU-

Of the ordinance regarding forfeiture.

For a Water System.

Tho voters of Berryville, at the
election held on Thursday of last
week. by vote of six to one, decid-
ed In favor of issuing $25, 900 of
bonds TO construct u gravity water
system for the town. The large vote
by which the proposition was ratified
shows an awakened sentiment with
the people in favor of relying on them
selves when they want to accom-
plish anything for the public good,
the vote being 124 for to 20 against.
That the town ought to own such a
public utility no one questions, but
some of the voters registered their
opposition to the undertaking be-
cause they feared the rents from the
plant would be so small as to call
for the imposition of heavy addi
ton In taxation upon real and perso-
nal property.
The sincere friends of the enter
prise within the council have in
formed US that 1T Is their purpose to
canvass the town in order TO ascer-
tain what amount of income the
plant is likely to yield after it is
completed. This is a good step, as

will command. 1t may be the plant

The Rouss MausOleum.

A special from Winchester to the
Bait. Sun says: Mr.. Charles Broad
way Rouss, the wellknown New York
millionaire merchant, will have built
magnificent mausoleum on his lot
in Mount Hebron Cemetery, Winch
ester. 1T will be completed by May
1st, 1900, and will cost over $4,000.
The designs are those of Charles +.
Tayntor, of New York, and work will
begin at once.
Upon the same plot of land where
the mausoleum is being erected Mr..
Rouss, at cost of $4,000, built Il
monument in the shape of a beauti-
full granite shaft that rose SO feet.
and is one of the most beautiful mon.
uments in the South.
The mausoleum' style isG reek Doric
and in form and structure is repro.
duction of the Parthenon, but with q
scale of one-fourth the size.
The approach to the mausoleum
on all sides will be made by 3 stone
steps. The peristyle will consist of
rs solid columns, weighing nearly ;
tons each, and they will rest on the
third step. The pOrticoes of front
and rear will be supported by four
columns each, making in all SO col
umns.
The bodies of the father, mother,
wife, sister, and son of Mr.. Rouss.
which are buried at the base of the
monument, will be taken up and put
into the mausoleum, where Mr.. Rouss
has told his friends he desires his
body to be placed.

a Lead Mining Company.

For some years it has been known
that there were deposits of lead or
metal resembling 1T on the western
slope of the Blue Ridge mountain.
but no company was ever organized
TO develop the deposit, specimens Of
which were brought to this office and
other places in town. There was
filed in the clerks office for record a
charter under which Messrs. Charles
NJ. Rhodes, H. I. Goodwin, Henry 4.
Ingram and Robert c. Broaden of
Philadelphia, and n. L. Chappelle.
of Paris, have organized the "Shen-
andoah Mining Company" with an
authorized capital of $50, 900. for the
purpose of developing, and selling we
suppose. these mineral deposits, stu-
sted on the lands owned by Mr.. W..
b. Wiley. who has, we understand.
retained royalty on the amount Of
the output of the mines.
The deposits are believed to be ex-
tensiye. but to be certain about this
shaft, it is reported, is now being
sunk, and it is hoped this inyestiga-
ton Will be attended by highly salts
factory results. Were it possible to
induce persons with capital to become
interested in the mineral deposits of
this county, it is believed they could
be made to add much to its wealth.
The business interests of the country.
particularly those of iron and steel.
have vastly improved within the past
few years, and as it paid once to
mine iron ore here and haul it to
Pennsylvania furnaces to be smelted
who knows but it may be deemed bv
capitalists advantageous to build in
the vicinity of these valuable ores
furnaces to reduce them to iron.
