An OTer to Depew.

senator-Elect Depew, in recent address to
the Vassar alumnae in New York, said:
Girls, don't expect anything for nothing
in Virginia. It was to this effect: If You
look at the map of West Virginia you will see
In a certain spot a certain lake. It Is about
the size Of a pins head. My house stands
alongside it. Your railway passes not far off,
I have three beautiful bull pups, and I want
TO send two of them to- your Governor Roose-
Eelt, but can't afford to pay fare for them.
Now, If you will transport them for nothing, I
will give you the other, pup'"

THE DOWNFALL OF A WASHER.
A Smart Woman's Way of Crushing /,
Impudent Young Dude.

A Smart Woman's Way of Crushing an
Impudent Young Dude.
One member of the army of professional
"mashers'' who infest the down-t town streets
after business hours met his deserts several
nights ago, and is taking temporary vaca-
ton from the, pursuits of his duties in this
connection. He was young chap, scarcely
out of his teens, and his face,showed dissipa-'
ton far beyond his years.
He was walking down State street at the
hour when the theaters are discharging their
audiences, and noticed handsome and
stylishly clad woman advancing. He placed
himself in her path, and when she stepped
aside to pass him he coughed and muttered
an unintelligible remark. The woman paid no
attention, and the young man followed her,
coughing ins1nuatingly, and giving express
sion to variety of sounds to attract her at
tention.
A group of we'll dressed, middle aged men
stood conversing at the entrance of the
Palmer house as the pair approached. Here
the woman turned and in tone just loud
enough to be heard by the group, she said
to the young man, after surveying him calmly
from head to foot:
You have been at considerable pains to at
tract my attention. The young fellow
grinned, half foolishly and half expectantly.
"Evidently,'s she continued, 'AtNou agine
I might encourage your advances. Now
look at me and tell me what there is in my
appearance that indicates l would tolerate
you for an instant. I am fairly cookbook
ing, of at least average intelligence, and we'll
dressed. You, on the other hand are far
from progressing. One glance at your face
reveals your dwarfed mind. You are dressed
in atrocious taste, and your tailor had better
be carrying the hod instead of making Clothes
as yours fit you shockingly. The fingers of
your ungloved hands are soiled with nicotine
stains, the nails not clean, and your clothes
and breath exhale an odor of stale liquor and
tobacco that should make 1t crime foryou to
ride in an owl car. Now, pray tell me what
suggested to you that might admire that
sort of thing?"
The young man stood half dazed. He sud
denly realized that his answer was being
awaited by breathless and. grinning audi
ence. as many passers-by had stopped to
listen. and increased the original group in
front of the hotel. He made !: break to get
away, his face flushed crimson, but one of the
bystanders grasped him by the, arm and de-
tanned him.
No, you DON'T said he. "Not till you've

because the first great battle of the war
that of Bull Run, an unfortunate disaster
was fought at his wish and against the ad-
vice of the commander-in-chief of the army,
General Scott. For several months after Bull
Run the President gave no direct orders
though he would write long letters to his
Generals of what he called suggestions
1t was fully six months after he appointed
Mcclellan to the command of the Army of the
Potomac before Mr.. Lincoln could be per-
suaded to issue a decisive order for that
General to move. II one will try to picture
what would have happened to Mr.. Mckinley
last spring if he had had an army of nearly
900 men lying within twenty miles or so
of the Spaniards, for fully three months after
1t was well equipped and pretty well drille,l,
and had not ordered it's General to attack,
he will have an idea of what Mr.. Lincoln en-
dured in the winter OF 1861 and '62 before he
compelled Mcclellan to move on Richmond.
MIR. Lincoln stood all the angry pressure Of
the country because he thought Mcclellan
knew his business" When ,he began to
doubt this he would make no order for an
advance until he had practically mastered the
whole subject of military tactics. No man
ever studied harder for couple OF months
than Lincoln did before he asserted himself
as commander-in-chieE He crammed on
every military book he could get hold OF.
He knew his army down. to the last man. He
studied maps as Won Moltke did, down to the
smallest stream and elevation. He sum-
moned every military expert within reach,
and asked questions until the experts head
spun and he went away wondering how the
man had learned so much OF the subject.
All this he forced himself to do before ne
would order Mcclellan to advance.

What the Beers Are Fighting For.
Kansas City Star: There are plenty Of
sentimental reasons for sympathizing
with the Beers without resorting to clap
trap. The Beers are fighting to prevent
the strangers from ruling their country,
by securing citizenship and outvoting
them and changing Boer customs to Eng
lish customs. They are not fighting for
republicanism, but for oligarchy. They
are not fighting for democracy, but to re-
tain their identity by denying democracy
to the stranger. They are, indeed, fight
ing for home rule, but for home rule by
natives exclusively. They are fighting
for the ballot, but a. ballot for Dutch.
They are truly fighting for love of home
against love of gold, but not for free
dom, because freedom means equality Of
rights They are not fighting for any
church except for the Dutch Reformed
church. and they are not fighting for
free institutions in the American sense.
The Beers are fighting for the rights Of
the first possessed against the later COM
ers, and for the right to be left alone and
against foreign interference. These are
the plain facts. and they cannot be sue
cessfully controyerted.

The Portsmouth Street Railway
Robbed Wednesday Night.
At some hour Wednesday night some
one unknown robbed the Portsmouth
Street Railroad of the entire receipts
of a half day.
1t is the custom of the conductors,
when they come in on their last trip at
night. to make out their report, put
the money in an envelope and drop 1t
in a box that is kept in the engine
room at the power house, and in the
morning the superintendent takes the
box and counts the money. The men
Wednesday night deposited their en-
velopeS as usual.
There is a colored man named Miles
Wright, who is employed around the
power house during the day, and he
knew the custom of the conductors.
lie usually goes off at y. IN. and does
not return until morning, but Wednes-
DAY night, for some unknown reason,
he and two other men named ISham
Davis and Charles Smith came to the
power house just after midnight. They
made some excuse for being there.
They had with them a bucket of beer
and 1T is said that they offered the men
IN the power house Il drink. which was
accepted, and while they We're drinking
Wright walked off with the box. He
was followed by the other two men.
1t is said that after he got some dis
lance off Re was seen with n box under
his arm. The engineer went to look
for the box with the money and found
it gone.
Justice Peed was notified. a war
rant was sworn out for the three men.
and later they were arrested, but they
had succeeded in making away with
the box and contents. When searched
none of them had money on them, but
1t is believed that they had hid it
somewhere. Justice Peed committed
all three men to Jail.
The superintendent stated yesterday
that he could not at that time say
what amount they got. but did not think
1t would exceed $50, as the money is all
turned in at p. m, when the relief
goes on. and what they got was what
was taken after night.
The county authorities would have
but little to say about the matter, eX-
cept that they had the right men. and
hoped to get the money also.
Wright bears n bad reputation and
has been In Jail a number of times for
different offences. The other two men
have never been arrested before. So it
is thought that Wright planned the
job. being familiar with everything
around the power house.
The men Will have a hearing in few
days.
