AGAINST ANNEXATION.
,,r. Gardner to Fight the Proposition in the
House,


There is to be stubborn fight made by
the people of Henrico against any part
of its territory being annexed to Rlch-
mond. Mr.. Thomas W. Gardner, who VIII
represent the county in the House OF
Delegates said yesterday:
y will fight the proposition TO annex
part OF Henrico territory to Rlchmola
with all of my energy"
MIR. Gardner says MS leople are Dit
terly opposed to annexation ana mat th7s
will fight the matter to the finish.
From all accounts. tie citizens OF hen
rico, as a rule, are already organizing
FOR the contest Mitier ytWaE , a
was unquestionably correct Monday night
when he told the Committee on EXpan-
sion that they would have a hard fight 10
win out and that it was necessary TO be
armed with arguments to meet the obJec-
tons OF those residing In the territory
proposed tC be taken IN.
CITY Attorney Pollard states that he
does not recall that any proposition to
extend the corporate limits OF cities have
heen rejected by the Legislature during
Ihc-1ast ten years. The general policy of
tha legislature is to extend the limits of
the municipalities under proper restrlc-
lions. He dors not think the fight VIII
be such an uphill one as Mr. Allen pre-
dicts but thinks it would be well 70 go
about it in a systematic way.
Mr.. Wallerstein states that many who
ut first opposed expansion are coming TO
hin, and stating that they have changed
their views. Mr.. Wallerstein said to-day
that he believed that nearly all the people
of Richmond and of the outlying districts
posed to be annexed ought to be within
the city limits for sanitary reasons. say
ing nothing of what would be gained from
E a material point of view.
II is probable the people in the suburban
territory will hold a public meeting and
protest against annexation. There is talk
too of getting uD meetings IN R'cnnonu
to take steps looking to encouraging tiie
expansion movement.

COME TO EAT.
That II Why Certain strangers seem

Favored.

The amount of eating done I'm New
York city only paies in significance
beside the fact that most of it is done
by persons from out of town. says a
writer in the Sun. of that city. All
spring, autumn and winter long-and
for large part of the winter. indeed
the town is crowded with strangers,
who, if their patronage of the hotels
and restaurants be any gauge, have
come here largely to eat. \ favorite
trick is to put up at some ineNpen-
sive lodging place and go out for all
meals at places anything but mex
pensive. In any case. the expenditure
is i'm the same direction-food. Some
of these visitors spend more i'm New
York during their annual week or
fortnight than they do at home in
year-and all, mainly, upon things to
eat.
You can usually spot the westerner
or inlander i'm any restaurant by the
amount of shellfsh he orders. Oysters,
clans. lobsters-he eats them all as if
he hadn't had a chance TO taste any
Of them since his last visit TO New

Louis girl here rot long ago confessed

luncheon. dinner and supper after the
play during the entire three weeks Of
Der stay.
Somehow the oysters in New York
don't taste one bit as they do at home
complained a Louisville girl, adding
that, though Louisville was pretty
nice i'm most things. she must say New
York was ahead on oysters. OF all the
vast sums expended in eating by
strangers in New York. we may be
sure that more than half of it goes in
shelfish.

Something Interesting About shrink
age of the Island Of Great
Britain.

With regard to the east coast a
sorry story has to be told. The county
of Yorkshire, for instance, from Bird.
lington to Spurn Head, has been disap.
pearing, it is calculated. at an average
rate of six feet a year. 1t is said that
careful observation of a certain 12.
mile stretch shows that the cliffs 40
feet high have been eaten away by the
waves for 1872 feet in 40 years, says
Good Words. 1t is. however. at Spurn
Head that the greatest ravages have
taken place.
In Edward rs time the village Of Ra.

ment; in 1899 and 1471 Henry w. and
Edward ~, respectively, landed there,
but very soon after the latter's visit
the entire town was swep' away by the
sea. To-day the village of Kilnsea
alone stands upon the head; the old
site of the village-once fair place on
hill, with a fine old church. destroyed
by the waves, in 1s26-is now some
hundreds of yards below high-water
mark, and when New Kilnsea joins it
the sea and the Humber will not take
long to destroy the entire promontory
and make things very unpleasant at
Grimsby. The Blue Bell inn, half way
between the sea and the river, bears a
stone upon which is inscribed: Built
in the year 1s47, 534 yards from the
sea-" When measured early last spring
the distanceSwas 334 yards.

EDUCATION ABROAD.

In the year ending March, 1900. the
number of boys and girls educated
free in Berlin was 2O7.510.
Among the 2.754 students at the Uni
versity Of Edinburgh last year ther
were 2j2 women and 16s students were
from India.
The schools OF Vienna are to have
medical attention. There the board
Of education is considering the app
pointment Of staff Of medical school
inspectors. 1t is proposed that the
duties OF these officials shall include
periodical inspections Of the schools.
which shall be more frequent during
contagious epidemics.
Prof. Lyle. Of the University Of Mel
bourne. urges that a professor Of mill
tary science in that university should
be appointed and that instruction
should be made compulsory on all male
students who are British subjects and
not physically unfit. in this way, he
says. all the advantages Of a military
college in Melbourne would be gained
at a small expense.

ORIGINAL SPEECH.
IN All Probability II Consisted Exciu-
sively of Vowel sounds and
Had No Consonnnts.

The original speech, the true prime.
val tongue of man, was quite unlike
my language we have ever heard; vet
we have all the tongues of to-day
says the New York Sun. The primeva'
language was a vowel language al.
together; II had 10 consonants. or con.
fonants, or contacts as we ought to
call them at all. Its words consisted
OF vowel sounds following each other,
repeated or varied-or words like
aeaea, aoao, ala, auau, aeoia. iaua, ioio,
ouou, uaua, ueue-all of which, NAV
say In passing, are taken from a Ian
guage in use to-day. The sentences
were intermittent streams of vowels
each stream held on as long as the
speakers breath allowed or whim die.
tated. When all literature was re
cited, the same consideration. the ca.
pacity of the lungs, determined ths
length of the bardic line; so we have
our shlokas, our hexameters, oul
AleXandrines, and so forth, each
lung-full of verse; in the primevat
tongue it was likewise, but the sen.
tences were vowels only.
There are about ten or dozen pure
vowels to go upon, and vowel words
may run up to five syllables, so we have
very considerable fund to draw OF
for our vowel streams. And these
streams of vowel speech corresponded
to, and expressed, streams of emotion
or feeling, rather than descriptions OF
concrete objects. For we hardly realize
how terribly overladen with material
trifes our life is to-day. and therefore
what great demands we make on Ian
guage for concrete words. But our
eXclamations, each of which indicates
single emotion, tend to remain pure
vowel sounds even at the present day

GIRLS LAUGH AT RED TAPE.
Seminary Students from New Eng
land Invade n Government Build
Ing In Spite of Protest.

At Washington the other day 25 stu.
dents from a girls seminary in a New
England state forced their way into
the state, war and navy buildings
after hours, pushing aside the remon-
strating watchman by a sort of wedge
which strongly suggested football
practice or knowledge.
The girls arrived after the two
o'clock closing time, and, being told
by the officials they were too late to
visit, were about to leave. One of
the number in the outer edge of the
bunch took command and gave a short.
sharp order. "Push him aside now"
That was obeyed instantly. They had
been grouped in sort of 'V'' in front
of the doorway, and as they swept
through it, those in the rear with
their hands on the shoulders of the
girls in front, they almost brushed the
grizzled old veteran off his feet and
left him so dazed that he did not even
demonstrate when they laughed at his
discontinue.
No official report was made OF this
violent infraction of the rules, but the
watchman evidently thought the fair
trespassers were sufficiently pun
ished in that the warship models
which they said was one of the special
objects of their visit have not yet been
returned from the Paris exposition.
