THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN-
TION.
Loudoun county, March IS.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette

hOuuOun Souhtys mnaSn ASs
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Mention was made in the Gazette a
few days ago of section 1913 of the code
OF Virginia barring certain persops ss
eligible members of the coming consti'
tutional convention. We would also
call attention to sections SlS and ., III
which appear not to be generally
known. These statutes have not been
repealed and the act passed and ap-
proved February 16. 1901, section 3, 10
which the words "under the constitu-
ton and laws of this commonwealth
would certainly remove ell doubt as
far as certain officers becoming mem.
bers. 1t rarely occurs that the making
or amending constitution is but once
in q generation-an extraordinary &C.
casion it may be termed, and the
methods to be pursued by the people
they are not oonversant or familiar
with. The writer Of these lines q few
days ago counted up nearly fifty coun-
ty officers, some oil whom had announc.
ed themselves as candidates, whilst
others were either called on or pro-
posed as suitable candidates by their
friends.
The question would arise ifsuch were
elected, What disposition is to be made
otthe positions they now occupy; would
their offices be vacant. or can they be
possessed with the attributes both q
siDgularity and duality? Probably they
could be classed ss the followers of the
doctrines of fatalism, and as to the
members or any OF them Of the present
General Assembly occupying seats 10
the convention the idea is eroteeque.
If not executors of the laws they have
made they could be palliated as admin
istretors de bonis non.
But as "old times are gone,
Old manners changed and men have
lost their reason,
Fesrfully wise, they shake their
empty heads
And deal out empires, ss they deal out
threads" 8.

her memory will ever be cherished. She was

was bright AID joyous, aud her sunny smiles
dlspelled gloom wherever she went. She de-
lighted in the works of nature, and birds,
flowers and music absorbed much OF her at

The Striking Convicts.

Laavenworth. Mar. 20 The victory
Of Warden Tomlinson over the 2S4 con-
vict miners who held their Is guards
for over 80 hours prisoners In
the mice was not as bloodless as first
reported. Two OF the strikers were
shot in the volley the guards fred when
they finally descended the shaft to cower
the man. 1t Is learned that Warden
Tomlinson led the eight guards who
descended. The convicts struck for
less work and better food and held the
guards as hostages until the warden
would agree to their terms. The
warden, however, held firm and last
night frightened the men 10 submission.

Dissatisfied With Her Name.

Chicago, March 20.-Mary Wotowa
wietz attempted suicide because her
name had proved drawback In the
social circle In which she mingled. For
some time her friends, who we're unable
to pronounce her name, have called her
Mary Walsh, and the fact that she had
an alias preyed on her mind to such an
extent that she became respondent.
Then her lover ceased his attentions
and she ascribed this to her name. She
swallowed doze Of carbolic acid, but
will recover.

THE State republican committee, at
their meeting last night, resolved to run
candidates for the State constitutional
convention in every district in which
there may be a possibility of success.
As there are very few such districts In
the State. there probably won't be
many republican delegates In the con-
yention. But that fact will not be un'
fortunate, as they would all oppose the
constitution and would do all in theil
mower to delay its adoption.

A Dastardly Act.

Shamokin, Pa, Mar. 20.-While
sweeping the pavement in front OF her
fathers hotel this morning, Mrs. Harry
Zsner, bride OF two weeks, was hit
by a yitriol bottle thrown by an I'M
known passer by. The girps face is
disfigured and her eyes and hands
burned. She may lose her sight. The
police suspect that a Tilted sutton per-
petrated the deed. No arrest hiss been
made yet. Mrs. Zsisner was STOPPING
when the liquid thrower passed. A
gust OF wind carried the full contents OF
the bottle from her face and saved her
from total Disagreement Most OF /
landed on her apron, but some splsshed
the left side OF her face and hands. She
is confined to her bed with much pain.
Mrs. Zeisner can give only a meagre de-
scrip;ion OF her sssailant. She was
married to Harry Zsisner of Brooklyn,
N. Y, on March 7. Ga the day OF the
wedding note was mysteriously
slipped under the door OF the Germania
Hotel, warning her father, William
Derk, that if ne held celebration in
honor of the marriage, trouble would
result. On the Sunday previous to the
marriage four men were discovered
climbing up to the girls window. They
we're chased by her father with gun.
A Tilted sutton and his friends sre sus-
pected. DR.. Flanagan who is attending
the young woman fears she will lose
the sight OF her left eye and that she
will be otherwise disfgured. An ex-
animation of the liquid revealed the
fact that csrbolc acid was mixed with
the yiLriol to make it more deadly.

The ATRoCIoUs crimes committed by
the American troops upon the people OF
the Philippine Islands, as vouched for
by reliable American witnesses, are 50
horrifying that in order to mitigate their
moral effect, the government at Wash
ington has been compelled to start the
report that tho perpetrators were not
American soldiers, but the Filipinos
themselves, who having no foreign
enemies to attack, deliberately outrage
aud murder their own kith and xin, no
matter how patiently absurd such q re-
port may be. But when no good ex'
cuse can be offered. a bad one Is often
attempted. The one referred to, how
ever, is too silly even for the War De-
partment.

IrHAs Just been discovered that 10
the black districts Of Maryland the late
census returns were padded by order Of
the republican supervisors, and that the
enumerators were Instructed to include
the names of all persons who had died
during the previous year. 10 view Of
such condition, is 1t at all surprising
that the white democrats OF Maryland
demand that restrictions be imposed up
on the ignorant, thriftless and vicious
negro suffragsns Of that stateP The
industrious and intelligent tax payers
of no other country except those of the
old slave holding section OF the United
States, would willingly permit their

take in Helena and Butte If the neces-
sary arrangements can be made with
the railroad companies. We will have
no trouble in securing funds sufficient to
insure the organization of team for
Helena.

Making Bees Work Overtime.

Those engaged in producing honey on
a commercial scale are discovering eX-
pedients for making bees forget the
progress Of the seasons and work much
longer period of the year than they are
disposed to do under normal conditions.
Years ago an enterprising Yankee hit
upon novel plan of combining pleasure
and business in connection with honey
production. He built large craft which
was combination apiary and houseboat
and launched 1t on one of the Western
rivers. In summer he would work his
way up to the headwaters of the Missouri
riter. and as the weather got cooler he
dAfted down as far as New Orleans. In
THIS way he managed to keep in a flower
or blossom belt nearly all the year. and
had a great deal of fun on his own ac-
COUNT. modification of this idea has
been adopted by c. L. Graham of Wood
lands, CAL. and is said to be very profit
able. He has 600 colonies of bees, from
which he gets seven or eight extractings
He has special hives made for his bees,
and ships them about the state by a
special train adapted peculiarly to his
needs. His extracting house is built on
wagon. Whenever and wherever he
hears of an abundant harvest Of honey
producing flowers. thither he ships his
bees. and stays there until the honey is
exhausted. His three principal shifts are
from the alfalfa fields of Bakersfield and
