trib Bitters, she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work." This

JUDGING from the immense amounts
carried by the navy and army sppro-
priatiou bills OF the present Congress
both the military and naval forces are
to be greatly enlarged. But that must
needs be the case with government
whose jurisd ction is not confined to the
solid and compact territory lying be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
and the Canadian and Mexican bor-
de-s, but that extends ten Thousand
miles across the sea, including all the
intervening islands. Imperialism
home is expensive enough, but when
attempted abroad, it soon becomes a
burden too onerous to bear.

THE LATE MR.. RANDOLPH.

To the Z iitor of the Alexandris Gazette
Another light has dropped out OF
Vireinia's historic families, and none
brighter preceded him, in the presence
OF Thomas Burwell Randolph.
His death was everybody's loss, with
none to fill his place and very few
like him to 60.
One by one the lights OF the old fam
lies are put out. How long before our
civilization will entirely change and be
but matter of memory and history,
will dep End upon our young inculcat
ing their principles, habits and morale
and their s.esdfast answering purpose
to make the right predominant.
Let the youths answer this quest ton.
OF course there can be but one duty for
them to perform. and that ia to follow
the lead of their lineage.
He died at "Powhstan," near Boyce,
Clarke county, Va, on April %, 1900,
aud was buried todsy at "The Old
Chapel" HIS OLD FRIEND.

Overwhelmed by Her Disgrace

New York April An 18-yesr-
old girl while walking down Broad way
yesterday afternoon met fashionably
dressed young man, who invited her to
dine with him ct nearby hotel. She
consented and later the two started for
drive through Riverside Park. They
stopped at several places where they
drank heavily. They soon became un-
conscious and were arrested. The man
registered as James D. Ray, civil
engineer. When the girls mind be.
came clear last night the disgrace Of
her position overwhelmed her. She
lighted newspaper and set FIRE to her
dress. She was soon a mass Of fsmes.
The police mstron arrived 10 time to
save her from burning to death, but
this morning it is said her recovery is
doubtful. The girl gave her name as
Margaret Riemond, but il is believd to
be fictitious. Her parents, it is said,
are wealthy residents of Pottstowp, Pa.

The Hawaiian Territorial Bill

Honolulu, April II, via San Francis
co, April 26.-Hawsii is preparing to
make herself heard If the territorial bill
Is finally passed with the amendments
just made. The labor deportation plan
and the provision that no liquor be sold
in saloons in Hawaii causes most dis
oussion. To deport all contract labor
ers who have come here within the last
year would mean sending back to ia
pan 3O,0O0 people ard would leave the
sugar plantations helpless, for the
whites will not do the work. 1t Is
thought bere that any attempt 10 de-
port the Japanese laborers will involve
complications with Japan and serious
