Hopes long forgotten and gone
Lips we have kissed, tears we have

Hearts that are broken and torn,
Some memory brightens the dead
past again,
Brings back once more the loves sought
in vain,
And thro' the darkness of human
despair
Lights us away from sorrow and care"

The pupils in the art department of
Leache-Wood School are making most
gratifying progress under the skillful
direction of Miss Charlotte Knox. who
is IN charge of this department. A dis
tinctive feature of the school is the fact
that even the smallest pupils arc study
ing in the life classes. The practice Is
for each OF the little pupils TO pose in
turn for the class and the character oe
thar work is surprising and evidence
the possession of much talent by the
children.

Especial to virginIan- Pilot,

Suffolk. Va, Sept. 13.-Fire broke out
to-day in Washington. N. c., and
burned several blocks of buildings on
four or five streets before 1t was final
ly gotten under control, about 5
o'clock this afternoon. At one time
the whole town seemed threatened, and
kilograms were sent for outside aid
from city fire departments. The fire
fighting facilities are limited in Wash
ington. but heroic work was done for
several hours.
The blaze started on wharf near
the river front. and a strong wind soon
sent 1t down Water street, where big
business buildings and small ones
melted away like snow in August.
Market street was partially destroyed.
Any estimate on the loss tonight is
hardly more than guess, but il is be-
lieved that the total will reach a quar-
ter OF q million dollars.
These are the principal firms about
the burned district, though it cannot
be stated positively that all of them
are vistims: S. r. Fowler G. Son, gen.
eral store; T.. w. Ayers, general mer-
chandise; ]. E. Hoyt. dry goods; l.. v.
Rowe. general store z. Peterson &
Co. wholesale groeers. 1t is also
thought that the wharveS of the Old
Dominion Steamship Company We're
destroyed. and possibly the hotel run
by Spencer & Bro.
Washington, n town of about 5000
inhabitants. is situated on the Pamlico
river. Beaufort county. of Which it is
the county seat.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
The whole heavens. or rather that
part of them which compose Suffolk s
aerial vault, were to-day obscured by
smoke from the nearby forest fires.
Early in the morning 1t looked like a
dark cloud lowering over the south
east. and it gradually spread to all
points of the compass.
The earth was shielded from the
parching rays of the sun. which at
times looked like Fl great bail of red
fire whose intensity varied with the
density of the smoke. Big fakes of
white ashes settled over the ground
and resembled a small snow storm.
Large quantities of timber are being
destroyed. as well as fence. cord wood
and vegetation. The Dismal Swamp is
dryer now than it has been for ten
years. and tracts of valuable timber
are threatened. The principal part OF
the swamp is owned by Mr.. w. N.
Camp. OF Albion. Fla, who was in Suf-
folk to-day.
There was slight fire at Tarboro.

Object to Roberts
Treatment Of CrOnje

New York, Feb. PA special to the
World from Washington says:
Continental diplomats accept the de-
feat of General CronJe in grim silence.
None will consent to be quoted for any
expression, except that the issue was
what might have been expected One
Of the attaches, who has himself serv
ed as a soldier, said:
There is one aspect of the capitula-
tiion of General Cronje which is humi-
liating to every soldier. There is
brotherhood of chivalry which binds
all professional soldiers. Violation of
the delicate amenities which govern
the conduct of members of our pro-
fessiUn is reflection upon the order Of
chivalry as much today as 1t was when
knighthood was in flower.
General tronje made a gallant de-
Tense. At the cOsJ of the utmost sac
rillce and pain he stopped the victor
ious Lord Roberts and held his
ground until his hard-pressed country
men could form for final defense.
THE fact that Lord Roberts and his
lieutenant, Lord Kitchener, compelled
the valorous CTonje to the bitter hui
initiation of presenting himself at the
| tent of his conquerors as a suppliant
| for the miserable boon of unconditional
| surrender is a requtal of bravery not
consistent with chivalrous conduct.
| Soldiers throughout the world will be
| amazed. There was no possible ex-
cuse. The fact that the British COM
manders might have apprehended
| f,.., 10
British were strong enough to have
executed the federal army were any
violation oil war committed.
| "CronJe has been a brave foe. He
| made no discrimination between the
wounded British and his own people,
all were treateu alike, as was shown
when the hospital at Jacobsdal was
captured two weeks later. The bitter
humiliation put upon him is a stain
upon Christian knighthood. 1t is with
out parallel.
| Contrast the conduct of Lords Rob-
erts and Kitchener with that of the
victorious Schley and Shafter. The
utmost courtesy was shown to their
overthrow foes. Philips Don't cheer,
men; they are dying, will stand in
contrast to the conduct of the generals
who compelled gallant foeman, who
had battled against tremendous odds,
to come as humble suppliant even to
the very doors of their tents to beg
for his brave soldiers that they might
ANONYMOUSLY surrender.
This ruthless, overbearing conduct
will have an eject upon civilization.
Those who cain to admire fair play
| should exhibit some of the elements
of the chivalry which is the real basis
of gentlemanly conduct.
Soldiers will remember this treat
ment, and it is possible that on another
day 1t may be returned with interest"

To Destroy Rats.

On the authority of DR.. Kitasato. the
Fushin states that the only course
now possible for stamping out the
plague in Kobe, which appears already
to have spread to all parts of the city.
Is to thoroughly cleanse houses and
premises, destroy all rats, medically in
spect the people and collect all the in
habitants OF the poorer quarters In
Kobe In one place and there isolate
them. The improvement Of the drains
and keeping houses clean, just as in the
cities OF Europe, are also recommend
ed. The simplest way Of catching rats,
according to DR.. Kitasato, Is to spread
birdlime on a sheet Of paper putting
In the center something of which rats
are very fond. 1t is an extremely diff
cult matter to disinfect houses, where
plague has occurred, to such an extent
as to thoroughly stamp out the disease
For instance, the house of Hirai at Fu-
kiai, who recently died from the
plague, was disinfected three times,
and yet the children were affected
three weeks after the disinfection had
taken place. Such houses DIR. Kita-
sato urges should be pulled down and
the debris burned.-Kobe Chronicle.
