Miss Betsy Greasy died at her

Greasy was probably the oldest person
in Virginia, and her birth was esta olished
beyond question by the records in pos
session of her family.
Last summer Miss Betsy, as she was
Familiarity called, sustained a severe fall,
and since that time her~strength has
waned rapidly, and she became helpless,
for the first time in her life. Before

This picture represents Miss Greasy
as placidly knitting pair of stockings,
her constant occupation, and showed her
a strong unusual figure. with almost
masculine features ana expression.

FEW MORE MEMBERS PROBABLE.
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Representa-
tive Hopkins, of Illinois, chairman of the
House Committee on Census, which COM
mittee will have charge Of the legislation
affecting the appoEsIonment of the House,
to-day expressed the opinion that there
would be no decided effort during the next
session of Congress to decrease the Con-
sressional representation OF the Southern
States because of the DISTINGUISHING
of negroes.
He said that in all probability the sub
ject would be discussed, but he thought
that upon the wholeSth committee would
favor the plan of basing representation
upon the number of inhabitants.
INCREASE MEMBERSHIP.
Discussing the general subject Of re-
superintendent, Mr.. Hopkins said:
The Committee on Census will meet
during the first week of the session, and
will go to work at once framing a Dill
providing for reapportionment 1 think
that a proposition will be adopted which
will increase The present membership OF
the House It has been suggested that
we authorize one member for every lsS'-
900 inhabitants. That seems to be the
ratio that is in general favor among the
members of tbs committee This will
cause a decrease in membership in some
States, while the representation from
other States will be increased. On the
whole, the proposition would entail an
increased membership of from fifteen to
twenty members
SOME MAY LOSE.
According to calculations l have made
the reapportionment would add members
to the House from New York and Illinois,
and perhaps other States. States like Ne
braska and Maine might lose members by
the proposed law. That, however, would
depend entirely upon the exact number OF
inhabitants designated for each member
ship Some of the Southern States, aside
from the general proposition to decrease
their vote in the House on account of the
Acknowledgement of a certain class of c!ti-
Zens, might also suffer from the proper
ton agreed upon, although to What eX-
tent cannot be ascertained.
'sThe general idea of the committee,
however is TO cause as little decrease in
the membership of the House as possible,
while adding as many members as seems
Just and equitable, so as to ultimately in
crease the total membership. The in
crease. of course, will go to the States
which have shown a growth of population.
while those States which have not kept
the pace in enlarging their population Will
be obliged to stand the consequences.

Battle to the Death.
Especial Dispatch to The Tlmcs.)


SUFFOLK. VA, November 2Q.-Word
is received here Of fierce battle be-
tween two large male bald eagles near
Montrose, n. c., the southern terminus
of the Suffolk and Carolina railroad, 40
miles from Suffolk.
1t was duel to the death. The aerial
monarchs began their combat at an ele-
walton OF several hundred feet, but as
the encounter progressed and the birds be-
came less agile in avoiding attacks, they
sought greater buoyancy by choosing a
lower stratum of air
The fight was witnessed by Tim Rice
and kennie Rountree, whose veracity is
vouched for Following series of
dives, darts and gyrations. one of the
birds, by a swift movement, swept be-
meath its antagonist and, turning almost on
its back, drove its talons in the side and
breast of the other.
The eagles whirled over and over
amid cloud of feathers. their downward
career being DETECTED by tree tops and
lower limbs.
After earth was reached one of the
spectators hurried home for a gun and
returning in twenty minutes, fired at close
range. killing one of the eagles. The
other sought to release itself but could
not, and finally had to submit to the
isnominy of being despatched by a club.
These kings of feathered hosts. auto
cratic and relentless. had meant it to
be fight to finish when they began.
Rice and Rountree think both would
have been killed but for their interference.
AS the men lugged home a magnificent
eagle apiece it was one of the proudest
moments of their lives, which had known
many cunning feats.
The birds from tip to tip measured,
respectively. 6 feet 9 inches and 6 feet II
inches.
