MUSICAL AND LITERARY.
An Afternoon and Evening of Pleasure and Profit Offered by the Epis-
 copaI Ladies Guild.

The ladies of the guild of the Epis- copal church will give a literary and musical entertainment at Masonic hall tomorrow, Thursday, afternoon and evening, to which the public is in- vited. There will be vocal and in strumental music, recitatiOns, etc, of a very interesting nature, the pro gram being quite elaborate and inter esting and for which no charge will be made.
 In connection with it, however, there will be a bazaar at which articles of various and sundry kinds, both useful and ornamental, practical and senti- mental, suitable for holiday gifts, as well as for other purposes, will be of fered for sale. Palatable refresh ments will also be served at nominal prices.
 The entertainment is for the bene- fit of the church and deserves a liberal patronage for more reasons than one. In the first place, the guild, or for that matter the church, very seldom gives anything of this kind, and sell dom makes an appeal to the public for assistance. When they do they they deserve generous treatment by the public.
 In the next place it has been the history of their past entertainments that whenever the members of this church have attempted anything of this kind it has always been accom- panied by a rain storm. This one promises to be no exception to the rule, and rain storm at almost any time and particularly at this time is worth thousands of dollars to the country. Whether they possess the happy faculty of producing rain or whether it is simply a coincident, readers can judge for themselves, but let them patronize this entertainment just the same.

Talked and Walked to Death.

Laporte, Ind, Nov. 2l.-Mrs. Avery of New Castle, died at the hospital in this city las night Her death was due to strange causes. About seven days ago the habit of constantly walking and talking developed, and grew upon her to such an extent that she was practically uncomfortable and the ceaseless walking and talking confirmed until she became so ex- hausted that death resulted. Physi clans are unable to explain the strange phenomena.

TUE REELECTION or MCKINLEY
(Baltimore SUM-

The nation has recorded It's will
at the polls after political con test
conducted with ex uaordinary earn
estneSs. Issues OF Supreme impor-
lance were involved, affecting the
permanency of republican institu-
tons and the rights of the masses.
1t was a battle royal from start to
finish, but, despite the intensity with
which 1t was waged, patriotic men of
all parties will accept the result as
the deliberate verdict of a majority
of the American people.
On July 6 The San, commenting
upon the adoption of the silver plank
by the Kansas City Convention at
the demand of Mr.. Bryan, said: "Mr.
Bryan has diminished his prospects
of election and weakened his party
10y the attitude which he assumed
when he dictated Its platform. r
His 'vindication' may prove the
most costly blunder in his political
career. Like the charge at Balaklava,
1T is magnificent, but it is not war; y
That ill-judged and unnecessary
declaration for free coinage has cost
Mr.. Bryan the Presidency; Mr..
Mckinley has been reelected, not
because a majority of the people en-
dorse his administration, but because
they were afraid, without under
standing the situation, that Mr..
BRYAN, If President. would disturb
the financial system of the country.
There was no ground for this fear,
for MIR. Bryan, if elected, would not
have had the support of majority
OF Democratic Congressman if he
had attempted to secure the repeal of
gold standard legislation. In forcing
a declaration for free coinage into
the platform, he gave his political
opponents the opportunity which
they desired to play upon the fears
of the timid.

NO RECANTING HERE.

Our contemporaries who have persist.
emily printed assurances to their:readers
that Col. Bryan and the Democratic tickle,
would sweep the country should consid.
er just at this time what they have been
doing and resolve to do better hereafter.

The VIRGINIA CITIZEN does not
come under this arraignment. If its
judgement had lead it in the way al
luded to above we should not have
been sorry for the faith that ruled us
nor fastened to take anything back.
But, as we say, We cannot be classed
In the category defined by the es-
teemed NerS. We never thought
that Mr.. Bryan could be elected, and
never misled our readers by declar-
ing that he would. We hoped agalr ST
hope and tried to help our sterling
Democrats "keep stiff upper lip
and to make plain their path of dutv.
Not once after the products of the
Kansas City Convention were known
to usdid we cherish the slightest hope
OF success. We may have conceded
our dubious feelings as loyal Demo
Gratis but we believed through it all
to the final crash that we were right
when we supported Mr.. Munford's
minority resolutions at Norfolk. We
held, to the end, to the same faith
that was in us, when, previous to the
assembling at Kansas City, this pa
per in double-leaded plea editorially
implored the party sages to ignore
the l6 to theme-because 1t was a
losing card-and strike out on entire
ly new lines. When it was decreed
otherwise we kept our own counsel
offered no more advice, unfurled the
standard set up by our leaders and
went into the fight with sleeves rolled
up. We got wolloped; we are a
little sick; lbut we are not of the 81
told you so" stripe nor are we re-
solved to do any better-except to
hight harder for the old Democratic
party than ever before, no matter
what kind of Stars or stripes she may
wear.

THE CRISIS IN CHINA.

Russian troops are being with
drawn from Pekin.
Russia has annexed big slice of
China near Tien Tsin. The other
powers have entered a protest.
1t is stated as a remarkable fact
that not Baptist missionary in all
China received bodily injury durin g
the late trouble.
Increasing alarm is felt in Pekin
at the spread of the insurrection in
the Southern Provinces. No surprise
will be caused if Japan intervenes.
The trade and financial outlook is
very gloomy.
Natives from Han Kow say that
the Empress beheaded number of
telegraph officials, who accepted a
secret message from Emperor Kwan
Su to Count Won Waldersee, inform
ing him that he (the Emperor) was
being kept u prisoner and was unable
to return to Pekin. They also say
that other executions occurred i'm con-
nection with the matter
A letter from a Belgian gentleman,
who has been travelling to Pekin via

fearful human tragedy. Two thou.

those to be forced upon China: China
shall erecta monument to Baron Won

Prince to Germany to convey an
apology. She shall infict the death
penalty upon eleven Princes and

Looking some distance into The future
we trust that if such reapportionment
takes place that Fredericksburg, Caro-
line and Spottsylvania will be more CEN
trally located in the district in which
they are placed than is the case now
Fredericksburg Star.
We are sorry if our Fredericksburg
friends Chat is if the esteemed Star
speaks for fredericksburg shall
have grown tired of their utilization
with the rest of the District. IF the
groan had come from the great
Eastern Shore it would not have
surprised us, cut off as it is from
the rest of the District, but we
cannot see ground for complaint
from the Old Burg, which gets the
Convention about as often as it wants
it, and whoops it up unanimously
for the favorite sou of some other
county, very generously content to
claim nothing for itself. Don't de-
sert us, friends; Fredericksburg is
the apex of the Northern Neck and
we might lose our political wits if
this decapitation should occur.

JUsr previous to the election the
Republican campaign committee put
forth a carefully prepared statement
to the effect that Governor Roose-
velt's canvass was the most remark
able ever recorded, exceeding Mr.,
Pryan's phenomenal record of 1896,
as well as of this year, and many
papers published the ingenious fake.
The truth is that Mr.. Roosevelt
broke down several times during his
effort to initiate the great Western
orator. His trips were very rapid,
being assisted by every means knows
to railroad corporations, but to ac-
complish them necessitated his adj

OUR GUESSING CONTEST.

The VIRGINIA CITIZEN in its issue
of October 18th published a table of
the states and the number of their
electoral votes with blank places to
fill In and made an offer of one years
subscription gratis to tae one coming
nearest the presidential electoral vote
and also one subscription to the one
who came nearest the popular ma
jofity. After carefully going over
the 80 guesses made we find that
Mrs; Edwin Brcun, jr., of Broun's
Store, Northumberland county, hit
the electoral vote to a dot, her guess
being 292 for Mckinley and 1875 for
Bryan, while j. w. Stiff, of Locklies,
Middlesex county, secures the paper
for one year for coming nearest the
popular vote, although his guess was
way off.
Nearly 800 of the guessers
gave a majority of the electoral
votes to Bryan and one man went so
far as to give the Democratic candi-
date every state in the Union save
one, this one being Vermont which
he conceded TO Mckinley.

1T is no discredit to Mr.. Bryan
that he should have lost the vote of
his State in the light of Mr.. Hanna's
statement that his committee made
tremendous effort to carry it, pre-
sumably to so annihilate Mr.. Bryan
that be would not recover politically,
nor have seat in the U. S. Senate
where he would be a nettle to the
Republican trusts and magnates
There seems to be some foundation
for the charge that the Republicans
manipulated the vote of Nebraska
to their satisfaction, which proba-
bly, accounts for the conflicting
reports of the result in that State
and the loLg delayed count.

The dispatches say that in 'Glouces,er
county six out of eleven precinct returns
were made out for the presidential candi-
dates instead OF for the electors. These
returns being thrown out leaves BRYAN in
Gloucester, asa; Mckinley, 3s4. An cleo.
ton system that is snare for the voter
and incomprehensiblet to the clerks of the
courts might be simplified. -Richmond
Dispatch.
We agree with our Richmond con-
temporary that our election system
should be simplified. The Gloucester
people, though, from the foregoing
report, were evidently not well
acquainted with our election laws if
precincts were thrown out because
OF incorrectly recorded returns. It
not infrequently happens that new
officers of elections make out their
returns improperly, but they are
summoned to the courthouse by the
county election supervisors to cor
rect their clerical errors, after which
the CONT is properly recorded and
certified. The returns of five out of
eight OF the precincts in this (Lan-
eastern county were made out for
the Presidential candidates and not
for the electors, but the errors were
duly corrected, and in accordance
with the present election laws.
