TWO CENTS
HAVE BEGUN REFORMS.
New City Administration has Sprung
Some Surprises.

CIARKsBuRa, April 3D. Many sur
prises have been sprung by the new
city officials since their induction into
offiee less than week ago, and, IL their
brief record thus far be criterion,
some very radical reforms will have
been made during their term and they
will pass into history as the greatest
reformers since the memorable admin
istration OF w. +. Richards as Mayor,
ten years ago, when scarcely drop Of
intoxieants could be got at a drugstore
much less AT saloon or speakeasy.
Already two or three gambling Joints
have been closed by their orders. The
Mayor has issued an order that there
be no Sunday selling by the saloons
and from all indications the order will
be strictly enforced. The Council,
itself has refused to license six saloons,
some Of which were loosely conducted
last year, while others OF these, IL Is
said, have club and gambling rooms
attached. Among the rejected APP
plieations for saloon license was
that of Henaghan g. Sherry. The
Councils action on this particular APP
plication has created much comment
and some Indignation. NO one at
tempts TO account for 1t, except that
it is believed to have been the outcome
Of the saloonist's, activity Ia politics.
The Democrats voted solidly against
them. The Mayor has also ordered
that all disordelly houses be conduct
ed In one DISTRICT which will be plac-
ed under strict police regulations.
The people are saying, what next?n
although vast majority OF them
heartily approve OF the action taken,
with the exception OF a saloon or two.

..Helle BILL

Hello Bill" the play which Man
ager Swisher presents at the Opera
House Wednesday April oath Is one
OF the few examples Of straightaway
legitimate farce now before the
American public. Its humor is
spontaneous, well balanced and gen
uine, nor does it require the interpo
lation Of double entendres to ex-
plot its laughter provoking quail
ties. Although new here, the play
has been seen in nearly all the 9th
er leading cities Of the country, and
in no instances has II failed TO jnsti
fy the claims OF its author, or the
promises of its manager. 1t Ii

Two Kinds OF yirginians.

This high strung aristocrat OF the
East could never have been fashioned
into fellowship with his democratic
fellow citizen west Of the mountains.
They were, by nature, birds OF differ
ent feather, and no species Of bird
was ever more clannish than the old
Vifginian OF bis kind. He regarded
his brother west Of Alleghenles with
contempt -contempt for his hum
bic ancestry, contempt for his plebian
tastes and occupation; contempt for
his calloused hands and his disposi-
tion to dirty his clothes with manual
labor They dubbed their western
brethren 1.-The Peasantry OF the West. :"
They would not have associated with
them on an equality. They would
not have entertained them In their
homes. They regarded them as occu-
plying a lower social plane than them
selves and these aristocratic notions
were as strong as religious prejudice
ever was There could be no COM
promise made with it. They have not
been eradicated by the war. They live
to-day wherever the old virginian sur
wives. This bringing together, under
one state government OF two people
so diverse in their tastes and charac-
ter as the eastern and western Virgin
ians was like an attempt to fuse an
aristocracy and democracy into one
homogeneous whole. Naturally they
did not mix The situation was ag-
graved by the existing system OF slav-
| cry. Slavery was profitable institu-
tion east OF the mountains, built was
OF little practical value west OF the
mountains.
That section OF the state west of the
Alleghenies was best adapted to stock
raising, grazing, the growth OF the
cereals, TO manufacturing and such
industries as could not profitably
employ slave labor. Its people cared
very little for the institution on eco
nom.cal grounds, and were somewhat
awry with it for moral considera tions.
They would not have invited it as
an Original proposition. They accep-
ted IL like many other things that
were thrust upon them by the east.
all their domestic and political insti-
buttons, and was maintained without
any moral computations. 1t had
shaped and moulded their laws and
public interests and modes OF life.
Nothing short OF up-heaval, or a
great revolution could have uprooted
it. In fact, the value alone OF slave
property east OF the mountains made
1t one Of the principal estates OF that
section. The market value of this
kind of property was much greater in
the east than Ia the west, for the
double reason that the earning power
was greater in the east and the prop
erty itself was more secure. The
western section OF the state was Dor
dored its entire length by free soil,
which made the escape OF the slave
easy. He need but cross the invisible
line into Pennsylvania to find friends
to help him to freedom from his bonds.
The uncertain tenure, therefore, OF
slave property in the western counties
made it relativelyof less value than in
Eastern Virginia. Prof. William r.

taken away. and the sufferer had moth

ally break the skin." says Captain
Grose, put him In great torture, his

Reading as n Cure.

The practice of reading aloud at reg
ular intervals Is of great benefit to any
enc affected with chest complaint.
In all cases of lung trouble ii is impor-
tnnt To indulge In those exercises by
Which the chest is In part filled or emp
tied of air, and reading aloud. singing
and whistling are three of those exer-
olses.
There are many who cannot sing,
and we dc not expect the fair sex to
whistle, but reading aloud can be prac-
ticed by all. Care must be taken not
10 oyerdo 1t, of course, and the body
should be In such position as to allow
the chest TO have free play.
Reading aloud, If we pay attention
TO what we ere doing, will not only
be beneficial from the standpoint Of
health, but will also have the effect of
making us better speakers by teaching
us proper modulations of the voice and
by increasing our knowledge.
This Is where it has the advantage
ever whistling and singing.

WHEN PERIL COMES.
Sudden and Extreme Danger tn,
Test of True Courage.

sudden and Extreme Danger the
Test of True Courage.
1t is when the unexpected happens
that fatalism proves how fragile prop
1t is, after all, for human courage. The
soldier or the sailor can say to himself
when he knows that he must take a
supreme risk In battle or In storm:
81 am powerless against the fate which
WAS decreed for me from the beginning
of the world. II my time has come,
cannot help 1t; II not, all the forces of
earth and sky and ocean cannot prevail
TO harm me-" But when without an In
stants warning a rock crashes through
a ahips bottom and the waters rush
into the gap, when confusion seizes the
entire company aboard, when the fog is
too thick for the captain to be seen or
the roar of the sea browns the sound Of
his orders a new test Is applied. Then
II is that the courage which rests on
nothing nrmer than q negation gives
way, and In his greed to save his own
life the stole becomes AZ . madman.
There have been steamship disasters
in which men of humble station, of all
colors and faiths. have shown the finest
quality OF heroism, and there have been
those In which the common sailors, all
whites and Europeans, have earned
eternal disgrace by their covardlce.
The point we are making Is not that 1t
Is possible TO draw hard and fast line
between one religion and another or
ono raca and nnnfler In tho matter of
bravery. but that the affirmative sense
Of responsibility for ones own acts, Of
the difference between right and wrong.
between nobility and ignomlny and OF
the grandeur OF duty well done at the
sacrifice of self. is far snrer depend
ence In the presence of sudden peril
than all the stoical philosophers ever
worked out by the mind Of man.
