Lafavette Ki.sed n Reue.

"Lafayette's stay in Alexandria, Va,
upon his return visit TO America was
q succession OF fetes. opening with a
civic and military parade" writes
Mrs. Thaddeus Horton in Ladies'
Home Journal. THE event TO which
every one looked forward with de-
light was the grand ball. 1t was held
in the double drawing rooms OF the
residence OF Mr.. and Mrs. CaZenore,
which, after English fashion, occupied
the second floor. The apartments were
richly decorated and were thronged
with the elite of Virginia society and
many notable guests from Washing
ton city and elsewhere. Lafayette
stood in the rear drawing room and re-
ceived with the mayor of Alexandria,
who introduced the guests 10 him.
During the presentations n young lady
from middle Virginia, a great belle,
came up and on being introduced asked
Lafayette to kiss her, which he imme-
diately did. Everybody was shocked
at such an exhibition OF immodesty
on her part and wondered how the
general could be so undignified as 10
comply with her request. Nothing else
was talked Of the entire evening but
this remarkable occurrence. The Ia
dies all thought it quite shameful and
a disgrace to the occasion and blamed
both the girl and the marquis. The
gentlemen, however. thought Lafay-
cite excusable under the circum-
stances"

garments home with him and sold
them TO n Jew dealer in Petticoat lane.
Shortly afterward the Hebrew re-

as he thought. good bargain for the

EDITOR CLARKE COURIER In your


EDITOR CLARKE COURIER: In your
White Post Briefs" in your paper of
yesterday. i see the following:
Joe Denny, assistant manager Of the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum at Staun-
ION, has returned TO his post after visit
Of several days TO relatives and friends
here. Joe is well pleased with his po-
sition, says he has plenty of work, EN-
ployed all his time, and, as usual in such
cases, the pay Is small
This is the third or fourth mis-
statement have found in the C0ur-
Ter within the past twelve months
concerning this Asylum. Being 3
Clarke county boy, and, further, be-
ing President of the State Associa-
ton of the deaf graduates of this
ASYLUM" | may be permitted, |
hope, to write an authority on the
subject.
"The Virginia school for the Deaf
and the Blind at Staunton, is not all
asylum, nor branch of an asylum
indeed, no more so than you would
call the University of Virginia an
Asylum; ditto the Virginia Military
Institute. 1t is a School, pare and
simple, governed and run like any
of the Schools named above. 1t is
not an asylum for old people, nor in
sane people. Deaf or blind children
who cannot be taught in the ordinary
public schools of the State have the
opportunity in this school until they
are q years of age, of receiving a
public school education, just as the
ordinary children of Clarke coun-
ty receive in the county schools.
Mr.. Denny is (was) not assistant
manager" of the Asylum" He
was clerk to the principal. His sal
is (was) probably $50 per month,
with board. see from the Staun-
ton papers of recent date that new
clerk has been installed, hence my
WAS in brackets. When Mr.. Den
ny was at first appointed the COUR-
TER and other papers in your section
gave it out he was to receive a salary
of $4,000 per year. The Superin-
tendent only receives $1,000, so l
suppose you'd hardly think his clerk
was to receive more.
You will excuse me for this rather
personal explanation. l am often
asked, and in fact, looked to-to cor
rect public misstsements, and fail
ing to do SO get q roasting" from
the 800 deaf-mutes in Virginia, (tc
say nothing of the $4,000 in the
United States) and my o'rn county
paper having fallen into the general
error several times. I'd better be-
stir myself. Yours Truly,
WIN. G. RITTER.

DAM AT GRAND RAPIDS.
Dam Building to Furnish Power for
Big Pulp and Paper Mill.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mimi. Dec. Is. -
Especial THE people of Grand Rapids
are today rejoicing in the fact that work
has commenced on the construction Of
the big dam across the Mississippi. OPP
erations will be pushed until the pulp
and paper mill is completed, which Will
be next summer. Our public spirited cit
liens who have engineered the deal
through so successfully are deserving of
every credit. The village council has left
nothing undone that was calculated to
bring here the institution that is now as
SuTed US.
The congressional enactment empower
ing the construction of the dam and its
maintenance could not be legally granted
TO the village A private company was
required to be formed, and so it was that
a number of Grand Rapids citizens band
ed themselves together for the purpose
of laying the foundation that Will make
such a town as the original founders
dreamed of. The business men who as
sumed this great responsibility had no
motive except to accomplish the great
est good for the greatest number. To
each member the undertaking has been
a personal sacrifice of both time and
money.
The village council has already ex-
pended about 5000, and an election will
be held Dec. a to legalize this action.
The approval will be practically unani-
nous.
