 Maurice Thompson, author of "Alice of Old Vincennes,' 9 "Witchery of Arch cry" and other clever books, who died at his home at Charlottesville, Ind, recently, was one of the greatest arch CTS since Robin Hood.
 Capt. Dreyfus' forthcoming book, entitled "Five Years of My Life," will deal solely with his first trial, his pulp lie degradation, and his Imprisonment on Devil island. The Rennes trial will not be discussed until the next volume. One of the finest living critics of pure literature is Rev. A. Ainger, master of the temple in London, who is also not ed as a biographer and editor of Charles Lamb. He is the highest au- thority on the life and writings of f.Elia.''

Small Pedals Are Unsafe.

It does not pay to have pedals too small and too light. If there is any ad- vantage ip q fairy pedal it Is a slight saving in weight only, and against that there must be put the liability to bend. the binding of small bearings un- der pressure. the concentrat ation, of the push on small portion of the foot. and in the case of toe clips being used the undue amount of toe work that follows, owing to the rider being slln- able to place his foot far enough on.

Why Glass Holds Water.

Utensils of glass will hold water because the globu1es of water are too big to squeeze through the glass, but glass is as full of holes as. a sponge. and air blows right through it, because the specks or molecules of air are smaller than the boles.

ton than that which invariably greets
the performances of the Grau Opera
company. This organization has met
with extraordinary success every
where, crowded houses and extremely
enthusiastic audiences have been the
rule all along the line since the begin
ming of the tour. Where there Is so
much genuine public interest for an
amusement, there must be genuine
merit to arouse it. In these days OF
| eager competition and costly enter
prises, among the theatrical promot-
ers, the attraction that wins out in
public favor must necessarily main.
tain a high artistic standard in the per
sonnet of its company and excellence
Of it's stage performance. This Is what
Grau has accomplished. In the com
pany are to be found some Of the great
est singers, comedians and specialt,
performers on the American stage to
day and the stage performance Is moi
only novel and attractive, but 1t is
masterful blending Of comedy opera
and hurlesque which only a skilled
stage genius could conceive and real
ize. Mr.. Robert Dunbar, who Is the
stellar feature of the company Is a rec
ognized comedian all owe the country
All the comedians and singers force:
are given full sway and the audience IL
accorded a raging festival Of operate
burlesque. In operate arrangements
the company demonstrated their re

VIRGINlA'S POOR EXHIBIT.
Few Dozen Bruised Apples All That
Bears States Name.

Newport News, Va, June lS.-In an
interesting description Of the Pan Ameri-
can Exposition, published IN the Evening
Telegram, W. F. Leath, formerly editor Of
that paper, and now with the Buffalo Ex'
press, has this TO say in reference to Nir-
ginia's poor exhibit at the big show ;
"In this connection it may be remarked
that one Of the most striking features OF
the exposition is the lack of Southern ex-
hibits. No State south Of Maryland makes
a showing worth of comment. 1t almost
made Inc ashamed to own myself Vlr-
ginian when l saw about Ten dozen bruised
and sickly-looking apples in the Horticult'
ural building labeled Virginia This is
all have been able to find up to this time
bearing a similar label. In the midst Of
the enterprise and of the interesting and
commendable exhibits of other States this
showing is worse than nothing, and simply
accentuates the penny wise and pounc
foolish policy which refuses to make use
of an opportunity to advertise because
there is no ironclad contract guaranteeing
500 per cent. dividends right away"

ANOTHER PRIGHTPUL WRECK.
Freight Train Jumps Track and Two
Men are Killed.

On Yesterday afternoon at 1:3O o'clock
the freight train, called the 'soifter," 60
ing west, was wrecked just east of the old
Peery homestead, three miles northeast OF
Tazewel. 1t was double header and
there were nine cars in front of the second
engine. The train was going down grade
at the usual rate of speed when the front
engine jumped the track. 1t ran 5OO
var Dis before the cars were dumped. The
nine cars between the two engines were
piled up in frightful mass. Part of these
cars were those used by the fencug crew
which had been attached to the train at
Five Oaks, one mile distant from the
scene of the wreck. Two of the fencing
crew were killed. James Pruett, % years
old was killed instantly. He was the son
of WIN. Pruett. Beverly Kinder, nine
tween years old was so badly injured that
he died in one and half hours after the
accident. He was the son of Oscar Kin
der, who llve1 on the Higginbotham farm
near Pisgah. Four other members OF the
fencing crew and the engineer of the front
engine were slightly injured. The nine
cars caught on fire and were totally de-
stroyed. The train was in charge of Capt.
r. I. Bowen, who was making his first
run on what is called the "shifter." W..
NJ. Painter was foreman Of the fencing
crew."

"The negro is not seeking to rule the
white man. In this State the negro holds
not single elective Office. Whenever he
votes he usually votes for some white man
There is in the last analysis feeling OF
tenderness, good will and sympathy exist
ing between the two races in this State
which the outside world can hardly under
stand or appreciate. We pray that that
relation may not be disturbed.
"The negro does ask, however, that
since he is taxed, works the roads, is pun
ished for crime, is called upon to defend
bis country, that he have some humble
share i'm choosing those who shall rule
over him, especially when he has proven
his wortbiness by becoming Taxpayer
and a worthy, reliable citizen. While the
amount of direct taxes paid by the negro
is small, all will acknowledge that he s a
large factor in enabling some one else to
pa taxes; for the negro who rents a farm
or a house not only pays the rent but i'll
directly the taxes also.
1--WE rejoice that we have reached a
period In our development when we can
speak in frank but friendly terms of the
subject of your convention, the chief aim
of which is, we trust. the wise and just
government of the people of Virginia. In
thls high purpose yonr petitioners agree
and sympathize with you. We are all
owners of property and taxpayers and
have the same interest in good govern
ment that you have. We know that the
task before you is delicate, trying and
perplexing one. In this connection, we
desire to add that in our humble opinion,
while there may be doubt and uncertainty
in many directions, one thing is absolutely
and unmistakably clear-that nothing that
is not just and fair will be permanently
successful
"Auy law which will merely change the
name and form of fraud or can be inter

piled to another race will not, in our opin-
ion, improve our present condition but
may uusette the peace and interfere with
the thrift Of our people and decrease the
wealth and prosperity of Virginia,

sured that you will nave the prayers and
good wishes of thousands of black people

THEORY OF APPENDICITIS.
Paris Physicians Say Recurrence is
Due to TOrslons.

Paris, June lS.-Dr. Routier, Partisan
physician of some note, has advanced a
curious theory regarding appendicitis. He
SAYS that each attack of the disease is fol-
lowed by torslon of the appendix, which
explains why attacks come again and
again unless surgical prevention is resorted
to after the first attack.
In one case that came under the doc
tors observation, where young man had
four attacks and was operated on just III
time to prevent fifth, the appendix was
found to be twisted four times on itself.
In other Cases where there have been
one, two or three attacks, corresponding
number were found.

Letter to HARRISON & Gillespie Bros.
1dzereH, Va.

Dear Sirs: When you see a well'dress-
ed man, you like to say: "There's a
sample of our clothes. That man is worth
two of himself as he was when he came to
u.s." We have the same feeling. Our
paint on house is worth twice as much
as old fashion painters paint, lead and
oil. 1t looks tie same when first put On.
In three months it don't. In three years
it decidedly don't.
Lead and oil cbalks of in three years
it is considered frstrate job that lasts
three years.
Devoe lead and zinc is about as good
in three years as it was the day the painter
left it.
Zinc Is the secret Of it: no secret all. a
good many painters know zinc; some mix
it in with their lead. We grind it in; noi
a little: good deal.
It's the zinc and the grinding that does
it. You can't mix zinc by hand. We
grind it by machinery.
Painters are finding us out, though
some painters are slow.
You know that it pays good man to
wear good clothes. How many customers
have you that know it?
Yours truly,
"a f. w. DEyoE & Co.
P.S. John +. Jackson sells our paint
