Bill Anthonys Widow Witnesses Maine
Launching Unbidden.

Philadelphia, July 29.-Many persons
whose presence would have give poetic
and dramatic interest to the launching of
the new Maine at Cramps shipyard Sat-
urday were conspicuous by their absence.
1t was an exemplifcation of the axiom
that republics are ungrateful."
The list of those invited to the launch
ing has been published. Among others
omitted were Mrs. William Anthony
widow of Corporal "BilF' Anthony; En-
sign David Evans, the officers and men Of
the Maine who survived the disaster, the
widows and others relatives of those who
went with the battleship.
The survivors of the old Maine and the
wives and other relatives of those who went
down with it longed and prayed for invita-
tlons. Among these were Mrs. "BiIl"
Anthony. She got none but she saw the
launching as one in the multitude.
For weeks she had eagerly anticipated
an invitation, but none came. Then a
sympathetic woman heard her story and
presented with her own invitation. Mrs.
Anthony stood directly beneath the great,
bulging ram of the ship, her trembling
hand caressing the harsh steel casing. At
the moment when the wrenching and
creaking of the timbers gave warning that
the vessel was about to glide into the river,
Mrs. Anthony was seized with something
akin to frenzy. She climbed on chair,
waved her arms wildly ebove her head
her eyes sparkling, and cried: "Maine
Maine! God bless the Maine!" Then as
the PROV slipped away, the woman fel
fainting into the arms of bystanders
"Don't tell them that came" were hel
parting words. "rhey would not let mt
see my husbands monument unveiled;
felt that l must see the new Maine
launched.

Republican County Mass Meeting.

The Republicans of Buchanan county, Va,
assembled in mass meeting in the court
house on July %, 1901, for the purpose of
electing six delegates and six alternates TO
the state convention, to be held at Roa-
noke, Va, on August the 2lst, 1901, for

The meeting was called to order by E.
H. Witten, Republican County Chairman,
and after briefly stating the object of the
meeting George w. Mullins was appointed
temporary Chairman and John G. Mccoy
secretary IA motion for the election of del
egates and alternates was put in order,

vention that the delegates 90 uninstructed, ,
as to how they should cast their votes, and
that any and all delegates presnt be au-
thorized to cast the vote of the county,
and in the event that no delegate or alter

SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY.
Not Thought That the Admiral viii OBJ
ject to Any of the Members.

Washington, July 27.-Sectary Long re-
ceived no word today from Rear Admirals
Schley, Kimberley or Benham, to whom
the precept to the Court of Inquiry were
mailed yester lay. 1t was hardly expected
however, that they would be heard from
today.
While it is possible that Admiral Schley
might object to one of the members OF
the court, or to the judge advocate, it is
hardly thought that he will do so. Even
should he make objec ions, it would not
necessarily follow that that the department
would heed it.
The department would have the power
if it considered the reasons assigned not OF
sufficient weight to oyerrule his objection

Russia and Germany are now quarreling
over the new German tariff.
1t seems to be the purpose of the Con-
yention to abolish the present system OF
county courts, and reform our entire judi
cial system.
The breaking up of the drouth in Kan
sas. Nebraska and Missouri is great

1t is reported in London that General
Lyttleton will succeed Lord Kitchener as
communicative chief of the British forces
in South Africa. General Lyttleton did
good work under Butler in the early days
of the war, and is a fine fighter. Kitchen
er has not been the success that he was ex-
pected to be.
Ex.Judge L. L. Lewis, is now most prom
inently spoken of as the candidate OF the
Republicans for Governor of Virginia. If
Judge Lewis can be prevailed upon to ac'
cept the nomination he ought to be nomi'
mated by acclamation. He has elements
of strength that no one else who has been
spoken of possesses. While a man OF de-
cided political convictions he has never
made enemies in his own party or among
the opposition. He would command the
solid Republican vote and would have
MANY friends among the conservative men
of the opposition, who have grown weary
of the corruption which has become Sc
wide spread in the Democratic organlza
ton of Virginia.

the vast cavern of rock andstone; weighing

IN THE OIL FIELDS

There are queer stories put in print regarding the oil business. As an illus tration. the San Diego Union, in dilat- ing on the merits of certain driller. says: He recently put down a 13O0- foot well at Los Angeles. going through 300 feet of the hardest kind of gran Ite.' The write probably does nc k ow that 1t would have been no more ab- surd If he had said that the drill went through 100 feet of cast steel. There hay, been wells drilled in California where granite boulders have been en- countered. but 1t would be a rank i'm beetle who would drill through 100 feet of granite. expecting to find oil, unless he had some remarkable reason to be- lievo that the granite was far out of place. unnaturally covering a shale and sandstone formation. There is no gran ite in Los Angeles field.
 All the efforts made in San Diego county to find oil. thus far without success. nave not discouraged the peo- pie of that county, and drilling will be begun Monday by the Chula Vista company on land a half mile southeast of the Chula Vista hotel. A contract has been let for hole 1900 feet deep.
 The oil Producers association had increased the number of wells signed up to 40S with seventy-two wells prom ised but not yet signed. That left twenty wells to be secured to bring the number up to the 800 we'll basis on which the contract with the Storage and Transportation company is based. with two weeks time in which to sc- cure the number.

NEXT DOOR TO oeATH.
4 PeriIous Journey over e RIckety
 Bamboo nrIdRe.

Mir. l.. A. waddell. in his book, Among the IIimalayas," describes the crossing Of the Teesta river on rickety bamboo bridge. The bridge, always dangerous, was at that time a mere ragged skeleton Of itself and, to make matters worse. wns slippery with green slime. Such bridges are usually rebuilt once in two years, but this one had evidently not been touched for much longer than that On this m rrow tottering structure, open nt the sides. Mr. Wnddcll had 10 cross over tho turbulent, rapid river, 300 feet wide and 70 feet below the bridge.
 The instant you step on such bridges they rccoil from you and swing and shake in mn alarming way. rolling from side to side and pitching like q ship in a storm. They swervc with a sudden jerk every time you lift your foot, not only side ways and longways, but also downward and forward, ns your weight depresses the bridge. This goes on until you pass the middle of the bridge, after which the oscillating structure kicks up behind you as you ascend.
 l got on fairly well SO long as I could look to see the bamboo rod on which had 10 walk. although the open sides heightened the sense of insecurity. But away from the bank, if you look down to see where to place your foot. the rush of leapng water in the torrent below gives you the giddy sensation that both you and the bridge are running swiftly up stream.
 Yet one must keep his eye upon the single bamboo overhnnging the abyss and find shaky footing upon 1t, since to miss it means certain death.
 was q quarter of the way over per haps when. as l stepped from one bam- boo to the next. it tilted up. and could sec that most cf those in front were lying loose and disjointed in their V slings. They had been broken away by the pass ing of the person who had preceded me. I could not swing round to go back. For ward was my only course.
 1 went on with long strides to get a foothold on this shaking, swinging line of slimy bamboos. After each step 1 had to half close my eyes to counteract the giddy feeling of the upward rush of the bridge. IL was n creepy, ghastly process. 4 false step meant death in the raging gnif below. After what seemed an age I reached the opposite bank.
