FORMER WEALTHY MAN CON-
VICTED Oh CRIMES.
A special from Heathsville to the
Richmond Dispatch says:
Charles r.. Lewis, the one-time
wealthy steamboat owner and oyster
dealer. was before the County Court
here to-day, and was tried and con-
victed in two cases-one case of arson
and the other Il case of attempt to
poison horse. 1t will be remembered
that Lewis. at the last term of the
County Court, which was in session
twelve days, was tried and convicted
and sentenced to n term of eight years
for arson, and to-day n compromise
verdict was reached in the remaining
case, and the punishment fixed at seven
years in the penitentlary. This makes
a total of fifteen years. 1t had been re-
ported that Lewis would plead guilty
to-day when brought before the court,
but spectators were greatly surprised
when he pleaded not guilty to all the
indictments. The court will pronounce
sentence tomorrow The prisoner did
not seem at all concerned as to his fate,
and appeared in the best of humor and
spirits. In fact. a broad smile played
over his countenance during the entire
proceedings.

A Wonderful Century.
Fellow citizens. the century now clos
ing has been a wonderful century in
achievement and in discovery and in
the advancement of science, but it has
been likewise a reactionary and dis
couraging century to most who live
abroad. The first third of the century
was taken up with the wars of the
great Napoleon and wars that fol-
lowed them. That third of the CEN
tury was followed. as some of the old
er men in this audience will remember,
by universal war in Europe. Young
men were writing constitution for the
republic of England. That third of the
century saw the torch of liberty
kindled again and again, only to be
stamped out by the heel of despotism.
We saw everywhere belief that there
was coming day when universally re-
publics should cover the world, of
which this Republic should be the fore
runner.
If this Republic is to live and not
perish from the acts of foes within, 1t
will be because it is guided by n party
which is able to accept the responsible
tiles which are imposed upon us and
march forward with resistless step
with the other civilized nations Of the
earth to do their duty in reclaiming
the savage races of the world and lift
them up into light of civilization and
good government. If this Republic Is
to live and not perish it will be be-
cause its citizens do not propose to
trail in dishonor flag once raised in
honor. Cheers and loud applause.)

ton which has brought us through the
most wonderful war that ever was
fought-the noblest war ever declared,
for it was for the liberties Of an alien
race. Our President, the last man in

clare war, conducted it upon broad and
gallant principles. We have taken
Porto Rico because it lies at our door.
We have given its people good gov

taken Cuba and have fitted her for
self-government, and are only waiting
now for her ballots to declare when
we will turn over the government of
the Republic to themselves. And act
ing under the unanimous wish of the
American people. TO which there was
then no dissenting vote, our President
appointed commission, composed Of
both political parties, to dictate terms
of peace. and we took to ourselves
those islands in the Pacific, and the
President who approved their action
was supported by Senate composed

often happens that the girl with the

himself with her affairs, and an artistic

From this fact II may be drawn that
Cupid is an enemy TO art.

where as representative. but II u anes-
ton Of tendencies. This typical glrl OF

her fashionable or unfashionabie inde-
pendence.
The same spirit runs through the en-
tire social gamut- There is nothing more
contagious than bad manners; II Is so
easy for the selfish instincts TO come up
permost when the pressure OF law Wit

with half disguised impertinenee, often
impertinence without any disguise, and
replies to your civil word with lofty

polite to me you cannot be of much con-
sequence"
The causes are not far to seek. A potent
one is the rush and hurry of life in which
everybody is intent upon doing the most
in the least possible time. There Is no
leisure For small courtesies. 1t Is a hete-
rogeneous scramble for the loaves and
fishes, in which the survival of the httest
resolves itself into q survival of the
strongest. 1t is something akin to brute
force that gains the prize, whether it be a
seat in the car or seat in Congress. In
