THE LAND THAT SLUMBERED.
BY ED. NJ. HEERMANS.

Not many years ago, the New Virginia
Slept; the denirens of he hills
In cabins dwet, and toiled for bread
The crow winged laliy mountains;
The panther dared to tread the highways.
And knew no fear.
In remote villages lie swain paid court
To mountain belle, n homely fashion

Patriotism wasas smother FIRE IN
Many breasts; the circuit rider
Followed the bride paths nd spoke

Were the days when the New Virginia slumbered
rom macrosst the border in Virginia
The fugitive slave found a haven

Were happy days. when the New Virginia
Slept! Her sleep for long Beneath
The sturdy, rough exterior of those mountaueeH
Beat hearts as steel
Virginia was then welded to the
Old Dominion, IN ties o statehood which were

These came the New Virginia no longer slumbcred

THE PRICE OF PORK.
Armours said to Be In the Deal-Hoe
Prices Way UP.

Prices WAY Up.
Chicago, March 90 The Armour
Company is said to be behind the pres
ent pork deal, and 1T is thought may
send the price to a higher figure than
was touched during the previous bull
campaign. May pork sold at $685. yes
terday, an advance OF nearly $3.50 bar
rel since the first of the month and the
highest point at which any delivery of
pork has sold since the close OF the LIP
ton deal. Stocks OF contract pork are
only about 10000 barrels. The out
standing short interest is figured at
nearly five times that amount The
short interest is supposed to lie In the
rands of outsiders.
Other kinds of products are sharing
in the bull campaign in pork, particu-
larly May ribs. which are also said to be
controlled by the Armour Company.
May ribs sold yesterday as high as
ss.65 and May lard at 1878 per 100
Hounds. These prices We're the best of
the season. Values for live hogs are adj
vancing steadily and yesterday passed
the high water mark that had stood for
more than six years. Best heavy hogs
sold up to $3.50, or so cents above prices
Aiti "a ~, siiiH tiit-
point reached since October, 1894, when
best hogs sold up to s6.15.
G. NJ. Favorite. Of the Armour Pro-
vision Company, said:
There is only one cause for the adj
vance in pork the price OF hogs-and
the price Of hogs is regulated by the law
Of supply and demand. There is not
near the amount of pork consumed that
there once was. There are only about
$1,000 barrels of pork in Chicago at
present. have seen the time that there
were 500. 600 barrels here. We have not
{. barrel of pork on hand and seldom
make it at the packing house"
The price of May pork was put up to
$500 per barrel today, 62ls cents higher
than the closing price yesterday. The
assertion that the pork market has been
.eornered is denied in many quarters
where the advance is attributed to natu-
sal conditions
