Constitutional Convention the AI-Absorbing
Topic.
(Snccial Dispatch to The Times.l


SNOWVILLE, VA, March 22.-The all
absorbing question in this section is WHO
shall go to the Constitutional Convention
Judge Archer A. Phlegar seems to be the
unanimous choice of both parties in
Montgomery, while Pulaski is divided be-
tween j. c. Wysor and Governor Tyler.
Floyd is badly split up; the Democrats
want j. L. Tompllins to represent them.
and the Republicans have not yet settled
on their man; however, it safe to pre-
dict that the Little, River section will
send a representative that will measure
up to those of any other part Of the
State.
As a sure indication OF prosperity
throughout this section. there has been
more miles of plank fence built ana more
barns erected within the last year than
in any previous three years The lamb
and cattle shipments promise TO be the
laa West on record.

the statement that things are coming
our way: take the following. cut from
the Chicago Tribune of Feb. 23, from
q speech Of Bishop Spaulding at the
Union League Club meeting on the oc-
casion of the anniversary of. Washing
tons birthday. when many distinguish
Cd speakers were present.
Mr.. Spaulding speaks from the SUB
5ect, Work and Leisure
Life is energy; We feel ourselves
only In doing, and when we inquire
what mans value is we. ask what is
MS performance. The deed is the proof
OF faith, the test of character, and the
standard of worth. To do nothing is to
be nobody, and to have done is to have
been. True work fixes attention, de-
velops ability, and enriches life; it
strengthens the mind, forms the Will,
and inures to patience and endurance.
1t is what we do and suffer to over
come natures indifference and hostility
to mans we'll being, and progress: it is
the means whereby what is not our
selves Is taken hold of and made to do
us service. True work, then, is further
ance of life, and it cannot be rightly un-
derstOOd unless 1t Is looked at in this
light
TO know the worth of work we must
consider, first Of all. what is it's effect
upon the worker. If it warp, cripple.
and degrade him it is not true work.
though he should thereby amass vast
wealth or gain great reputation. The
work is best which best helps to make
men and women wise and virtuous, and
that which breeds vice is worst, is lit
tie better than idleness, which is evil
because it breeds vice."

~Have You the key to the deskP"
"Yes," replied the banker.
'Wil you kindly see If the revolver
you mention is in its placer"
ut ought to be-" said Dunlap, pick
ing out the key on a bunch which he
took from his pocket, and walking to-
wards the cashiers department with
Sturgis at his heels.
"Yes, here it is in its accustomed
place"
He handed it to the reporter. who ex-
amined it attentively.
Exactly" said Stufgis, with salts
faction; "this is what l was looking
for"
what do you mean?" asked Dunlap.
II mean that this is the revolver
which was fred twice last night in the
Knickerbocker bank. See for yourself;
two of the cartridges are empty, and
the weapon has not been cleaned since
these shots were fred"
"But who can have fired the pistol,
and a whom was it fired, and why?"
"Hold on! hold on!" exclaimed Stur-
gis, smiling; zone thing at time. We
shall perhaps come to that soon. For
the present, if you will come back to
your private Office, shall endeavor to
piece together the scraps of evidence
which I have been able to collect.
There, sit down in your own armchair,
If you will, while fit these bits of pa
per together; and in less than ten
minutes I shall probably be ready to
proceed with my story"
Dunlap was still nervous and impa-
tient; but all trace of amusement and
skepticism had vanished from his face
as he took the proffered armchair and
watched Sturgis patiently piece to-
gether the tiny fragments Of paper he
had so carefully gathered. When this
work was accomplished, the reporter
went to the typewriter and wrote few
lines on sheet of paper. He next pro-
ceeded to examine under the micro
scope the minute fragments and parti-
cles which he had collected in his
search.
When he had finished this operation,
he leaned back in his chair and looked
up into space for what seemed to Dun
lap an interminable length of time.
Then at last he glanced at the banker,
who could hardly contain his growing
impatience.
Il am ready to go on now," said
Sturgis, reaching for a sheet of paper,
upon which he began to draw with
ruler and pencil.
sat laSti I" SiUhed tho hanl,er
eyes; but my first, as the charades
say is a question"
"Another!" gasped Dunlap; when is
my turn to Gomez"
Just few more" replied Sturgis;

good"
"Well, out with your questions then,
if you must" said Dunlap. seating him
self resignedly in his chair.

CHAPTER x.
PIECING THE EVIDENCE.

Sturgis was still busy with his dia-
gram. He spoke without looking up
from his work.
"Who besides yourself has key to
the drawer in which this revolver 10
kept?"
The cashier has one and the head
bookkeeper has another
You mean the bookkeeper who sits
at the desk at the extreme right in the
bookkecpers' department?
Yes" replied Dunlap, that is Mr..
Arbogast's desk. Do you know hin? ?"
NO. What did you say the gentle
mans name is?' The reporter looked
up and prepared to make a note of it.
John w. Arbogast."
"a man something over so years of
age, quite bald, with fringe of gray
hair; wears a heavy mustachc and side
whiskers; anG had on yesterday after
noon, when you last saw him, a pepper
and-salt business suit" said Sturgis,
writing down the name in his note
book.
Dunlap stared at the reporter in
amazement. Sturgis smiled slightly.
81 met the gentleman yesterday aft
ernoon,' he explained.
"Oh, that accounts for it," exclaimed
the banker. II see--but-but, then,
how comes it that you did not know his
name?"
HE did not tell me his name," said
Sturgis, gravely. land did not know
until just now that he was employed in
the Knickerbocker bank. How long
has he been with you?"
Nearly 20 years; but only for tho
last five years as head bookkeeper."
IL suppose you have every confidence
in his honestly" asked the reporter,
fore him.
"Of course. Such a position is not
given to a man unless his record is ex-
cellent."
"And yet" observed the reporter. re-
flectiveiy, ''opportunity sometimes
makes the thief"
"True; but the duty Of bank presi-
dent is to reduce such opportunities
to minimum" said Dunlap, somewhat
pompously.
"Quite so," assented Sthrgis, "and.
this you accomplish by"
by having the books examined pc
riodically," answered the banker, rub
bing his hands together with calm sat
isfaction.. . - -.....,-
Il see," said the reporter, who had
now finished his sketch. do the en-
ployes OF the ban know when an exam
ination of this kind is to be made?"
"They do not even know that such
examinations are made. No one but
the accountant and mys self are in the
secret; for the .oyerhauling of the books
is done entirely at night, after the bank
is closed"
"Have the books been recently ex-
aminedT' asked Sturgis. carelessly.
"Yes; only last week."
"Wel?"
"They were found to be all right, a.
usual"
MAY ask by whom?''
"By Murray & Seett, the expert ae-
countants."
"Was the examination conducted by
Mr.. Murray or by Nfr.. Scott?"

Canals on Other Planets.


1t is now suggested that exactly SIM
liar arrangements of canals to those
observed on Mars are also to be seen
on Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and on two
of Jupiter's moons. There is. says a
writer in knowledge, startling re-
semblance between some early draw
ings of Mars and recent diagrams of
Jupiter. and the theory is gaining
ground that the canals are representa-
tive Of nothing which actually exists
on the planets observed, but that they
are nothing more than an optical IL
lusion due to imperfections in the
human sight or in the instruments
made to assist It, That the ''canals"
were discovered after the opposition
of 1877, the most favorable period for
observation, during which, however,
they were only suspected, that they are
sharpest with colored screens and
comparatively small apertures. while
in the great Lick and Washington tele
scopes they have been seen either as
diffused markings or not at all, suggest
that the fine lines are simply mode
under which faint markings may pre-
sent themselves to imperfect vision.
