MUST MOVE FORWARD.

10 the VIRGINIA CITIZEN is due
and ascribed the credit of publishing
the first s-column-to-the-page paper
between fredericksburg and the
Bay. Credit is also due il for re-
duclng the subscription price in this
locality to 81 per year. Then we
forged ahead and are now publishing
s-column folio. This enables ms
TO carry a fullline of ads and still give
more reading space to our patrons.
-Four columns more and each column
two inches longer aggregate seven
columns more space than an s.
column folio contains. From a
study of newspaper enterprise we are
impressed with the idea that the time
has come when local papers must
follow the example of the CITY
papers In using illustrations If they
wish to keep abreast of the times.
With the advent of the year 1900
we purpose inaugurating this inno-
walton, and so from time to time
(possibly every issue) will illustrate
the pages of the VIRGINIA CITIZEN
with portraits of persons and cuts
or scenes and Industries that will he
OF interest to our people. The pub
lie patronizes us literally and we in
tend that they shall get the full
value of their money, if it requires
every dollar paid in to us to do so.
And wedo not intend that any of our
worthy contemporariessha point out
to us the way of progress.

was declared by him to be natural
oyster rock. Upon his decision, and
the statement that the tongers were
entitled so the grounds for their pub
lie use, they swarmed in upon the
oysters planted by Capt. Bailey, and
soon cleared them up. Bailey
swore out warrants against some of
the parties, but shortly afterward
withdrew them until satisfactory
settlement of the lines could be made.
In the meantime Bailey began 20
scrape for the oysters he had plan ted
and which were being taken by the
tongers. To scrape on ones private
grounds is permissible, but to
scrape on TIE natural rocks of the
commonwealth is penal offence.
Claiming that he was engaged in do
ing the latter several tongmen swore
out warrant against Bailey and last
week preliminary hearing was had
before Justice of Northumberland
county, who sent Bailey on to the
Northumberland grand jury, which
has just indicted him. The grounds
IN question are in the Yeocomico
river aud about mile from the
Northumberland county border.
Bailey and his partners at the
same time were fined $50 and costs

ing unlawfully staked in tn Sc

of burning barn and contents.
at Cpress farm, belonging to Con.

ceiving the insurance thereon, the
jury could not agree and so was dis
charged. Another jury was impan-

The same jury that sat on the
Lewis cases on Tuesday brought in
an indictment against Capt. Harvey
Bailey. of Kinsale, for unlawfulIy
scraping oysters in the Yeocomico

The facts in this case a. our CORE

ter planting ground was assigned to
Capt. Bailey and others under the
Baylor survey, and several thousands
OF dollars worth of. seed oysters and
shells were planted upon the grounds.
The oystermen claimed that the
ground was natural oyster rock. To
support this claim they secured the
services of surveyor who declared
that certain portion of the ground
was natural rock and belonged to
the citizens of the state. Capt. Bal

Living without Nourishment.

There seems to be no philosophical
necessity for food. We can conceive Of
organized beings living without nour-
ishment and deriving all the energy
they need for the performance Of their
life functions from the ambient me-
dunn. In a crystal we have the clear
evidenced of the existence Of formative
life principle, and, though we cannot
understand the life Of crystal, it IS
none the less q living being. There
may be, besides crystals. other such in
dividualized, material systems Of be-
ings, perhaps Of gaseous constitution
or composed Of substance still more
tenuous. In view OF this possibility
nay, probability-we cannot apodeictic-
ally deny the existence Of organized
beings on q planet merely because the
conditions on the same are unsuitable
for the existence Of life as we con-
ceive it. We cannot even with positive
assurance assert that some Of them
might not be present here, in this our
world, in the very midst Of US, ecr their
constitution and life manifestion may
be such that we are unable to perceive
them.-Nikola Tesla in Century Maya

piIkerton Won the Race.

At one of the regattas Of the Nation
al Association of American Oarsmen
during the early nineties James Pilker-
ton, for many years the champion SOUL
Ter of America, was matched to row
double against another team. He and
his mate were the champions, and the
general belief was that they would win
without effort. But the night before
the regatta public opinion suddenly
and mysteriously changed. Mr.. Pill
kerton knew that this was not caused
by any new development Of strength
in his opponent OF any loss of skill on
his own part. After making some quiet
inquiries he discovered that there was
talk Of his rowing mate having been
bought up by the other side and OF an
arrangement to throw the race.
He didn't say anything about his sus-
picions, but when the two men were
seated in the shell and were well out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
Look her, you blooming cutthroat.
You've got to swim, drown or win this
race! You know me-" He won.-Sat-
