A GLOBE COMMISSIONER
Writes a Short but Breezy Letter
from a Noted Place.
Especial to The Globe. }

Wareuton, Va, July 27, 1901.
This town bears the same compari-
son to Virginia that Lexington does
to Kentucky, both noted for refined So
ciety, brave men, pretty women, blood
ed horses, and fine whisky. This pic
turesQue old town boasts Of once hay-
ing been the home of some of the most
distinguished statesmen and soldiers
of the Old Dominion, A stroll through
its streets shows a want of progressive
ness. The people take life easy. Good
nature and genuine hospitality are met
with on every hand. Quite a large
number of English people have located
in the town and vicinity within the
past 20 years. Some of them claim to
be of royal birth, this is giving things
somewhat a foreign appearance; Eng
lish, you know. There are a number
of summer visitors from the cities
scattered through the town and coun-
try, attracted here by the fine and
healthy climate. A drive Of six miles
over a good road and through fine
country brings you to the foothills of
the Blue Ridge Mountains where are
located the famous Farquier Mnlte Sui
phur Springs. In the midst of mag
nificent grove of trees is located the
grand hotel, one of the finest summer
resort structures in the South, being
thoroughly equipped in all Of its ap-
pointments up to the twentieth century
style. The table is supplied with all
the delicacies that land can produce
and the streams can furnish. From the
farm on the property the guests are
furnished with the richest OF pure
milk and rich creamery butter and veg
etables fresh from the soil to the con-
summer. This place has become a IA
vorite summer resort for Washington
ians since it passed into the hands of
the present manager, Mr., e. B. Moore,
of the Savoy at Washington, who is
classed by public and among hotel men
as one OF the best young hotel men in
the business, His success in this line
has been phenomenal. When he took
charge of the property the wiseacres
and knowing ones predicted that fnan-
cial disaster would follow his venture,
as it had so many others who had at
tempted to run these Springs With
determined pluck, energy and liberal
dealing, with the public as his guiding
motto, success has followed his we'll
directed efforts, and the word fail is
not written in the calendar Of his bust
ness life, j. A. II.

Since the foregoing was put in type,
the Health Department made a spas
modic move to suppress the nuisance.
All the parties except the New Brun-
swicker, were before Judge kimball.
After giving a hearing to some of the
interested parties and refusing to hear
Mr.. SANFORD, the whole matter was
postponed for thirty days! Did any
one ever hear or read of such an out
rageous disposal of a case calling for
immediate action? Thirty days with
excremental fluid two feet deep in the
yards and cellars, and in such weather
as Washington has been sweltering un-
der until the latter part of the week.
Judge Kimball evidently wanted to
give an epidemic a chance to develop
itself. 1t would be rather tough on
the judge, but piece of poetic justice,
if he was compelled to occupy one Of
the residences and live over this seep-
ing sewage. He would hardly post
pone moving out for thirty days. If
the Health Department is no better
sustained or encouraged in abating
the deadly feyer-breeding Duisances all
over the city, by the police Judge, than
it has been in this case, The Globe will,
at least, do the Department the justice
Of transferring all future criticisms to
the very respectable ex-shoemaker who
postpones the abating Of nuisance
for thirty days in midsummer!

the Government by his economic ad-
ministration Of the Pension Bureau,
which money by rights, should have
gone to the wards OF the nation, as in
tended by the act of Congress in max
ing the appropriation.
How does Mr.. Evans reconcile his
motion in suspending action in the

should have been adjuulcated and paid
out of the $4,000 which he so boast

the law-act of March 3, lS79-ex-
picitly declares no Limitation shall pre-.
vail against the time in wnicn claims

Mr.. Evans also boasts that the work

old sOluIer claimants throughout the
country will think anu say when they
know that they have clalms that have
been pending five, six, and a great
many twice that many years, without
being able to hear word concerning

they, their attorneys and Congress.

Notwithstanding Mr.. Evans unfounded

How much Of the appropriation for

examiners (whom Mr. Evans has fool.
ishly employed, and running all over
the country insulting soldiers, their

The Bureaus investigation. it is re-

PRIVATE DALzELL
Writes a Card EXculpating the
President.

EDITOR GLOBE: Usually l let pass
whatever you newspaper men say of
me, for | am public property any way,
| beg a little space to say that your re-
cent article about me (nO doubt unin-
tentionally-.for you could not know,
as no man knows, the facts in the
case) does injustice to the President,
so far as my treatment here is con-
cerned. Good or bad, or whatever IL
is, or whatever friend or foe may say
of it, | write merely to say that the
President is not to blame for it. He
did all he could for me-.
Your severe article compels me to
tell what | have held as a secret. No
man shall ever justly charge me with
ingratitude. The President told Sen
ator Scott to secure me place with
Governor Merriam at the opening OF
his office two years ago. Senator Scott
and Governor Merriam sent for me
and rendered me accordingly one OF
the best places in the Census Office
which | accepted with thanks-the
more so, because the kindness of the
President had secured it-in fact, or
dered it, There was this condition
however, that my Congressman should
consent in writing to have me charged
to his (my old district, which he
promptly and fatty refused to do and
that cut the matter short. 1t was the
yindictiveness and malice Of my Con
gresham alone that defeated me, and
the kind purpose Of both the President
Senator Scott and Governor Merriam
to whom l am bound in all honor tC
feel grateful, and make this correc
tion.
Respectfully,
PRIVATE DALZELL.
Private Dalzell is not as unsophis
ticated as his card would indicate a
simple request from the President OF
the United States to any head of g
department is all that is necessary t
secure the best position in the depart
ments. The President failed in tn,
Census, but he has more offices in hi
gift than the king Of England. Th'
Presidents simple request would hav'
landed Dalzell and not Mosby, tn,
guerilla, in that $4,000 job. The edi
| tor of The Globe can name 500 posi-
tions in Washington paying from
! $4,000 per annum up that tne Presiden
could have yellow dog appointed t
on his simple say so, and a majority o
these places are filled by yellow dogs

What's the matter with making yol

EDITOR GLOBE: Let me congratulate
you on the estimabe way in which you
handled the eastern division Of the
Pension Office. The best part Of it is
that it is absolutely true. 1t has made
Shaw squirm like a worm.
Why, ! have known mysek that
Barnes wanted a looking.glass for one
OF his favorites in the western divi-
sion. He didn't do a thing but go TO
Shaw's section, where he saw one, and
asked Miss McCurdy if she ever used
it, being on the opposite side of the
room. She replied in the negative.
Without consulting the chief Of divi-
sion, Warield, he carried it off to his
favorite EXAMINER.

Gambling.

The writer once spent Il Saturday
afternoon in The study of Il dignitary of
the church while the ccclcsiastic strug-
gled in vain to frame an argument
against gambling to be presented to the
congregation on the morrow. He ADAM
doned the attempt. Far be it from n
literary journal TO assert powers the
possession of which the professionally
religious are fam to disclaim, yet with
submission we even venture to believe
that at least one cogent and effective
argument lies against all forms of gam
blinS-onc, namely, based on the truth
that wealth, great or small, Is II trust
and therefore may not be put in risk.
The moralist may declare that the
gambler gets. or at least wants to get
something for nothing. Men will laugh
They know better. The winner gave
his chance to lose for his winnings.
For his losses the winner got his
chance to win. But ask the spccuator
whether he would gamble with trust
funds held by him for orphans and
then suggest to him the one great truth
that is seizing hold Of mems conscience,
the most hopeful sign in these pcrplex-
ed days of social unrest, that men are
trustees of all that they call their own.

Life Inaurnnce,

1t is an interesting fact that. what
ever the reason may be, life insurance
Is much more popular in the United
States than in any other country. In
proportion to their numbers the Amer
lean people carry twice as much life
insurance rs the Britishers. five times
as much as the Germans and eight
times as much rs the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number of American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere provi-
sion for the families of the insured.
The scope of what may be called bust
ness as distinguished from family in
surance is constantly enlarging. A nov
el and interesting recent development
Of it is the insurance of the lives of
Protestant ministers for large sums
which are made payable Mt their deaths
to their churches York World.

Cheap Breeding Sires.

Many a man has thought he would
like to improve his live stock, but he
didn't want to pay much more than
beef prices for the bull or pork prices
for a boar or scrub prices for the
service of good stallion, says The Ma
tional Stockman. Result he drifted
along in the old way and raised stock
that cost him every year or two years
the sum he considered extravagsnt for
breeding animal. There are of course
limits beyond which the man who buys
a sire for the purpose of improving
grade or common herds and ilocks can
not go. But it is not necessary for him
to go beyond reasonable price limits
for this purpose. He can get the i'm
proving kind for the actual value nine
times out of ten if he is willing to put
up the money. On the other hand,
there are limits below which no man
can afford to buy stock for the purpose
ofimprovement. The extremely cheap
pure bred sire is the costly one nine
times out of ten. He is costly to the
buyer, he is costly to the seller and in
directly costly to all other sellers of
pure bred stock.
The live stock of this country would
average much higher in quality if there
were fewer men who wanted low priced
breeding animals and fewer breeders
who would sell the kind that is worth
only low price. Better for the buyer to
pay fair value for the better kind and
better far for the breeder if he sells only
the kind that is worth a fair price.

The Value of Glover orops

With our present knowledge of the
banelits derived from the clover crop
lis difficult to see how an ordinary
farmer can successfully CARRY on farm
Ing for long series of years without
growing clover. He needs clover to en-
able him to maintain fertility of the
soil, and he needs it also for all kinds of
stock, for there are certain elements in
1t that are absolutely necessary to the
growth of the young animals, also for
the maintenance of the mature ami
NAL and the production of milk, butter
and cheese, says Wisconsin CORE
spondent of the Prairie Farmer. 1t
has been proved that clover hay, we'll
saved, is the best feed and the most val
liable crop that can be grown on the
farm. There is not an animal on the
farm, but what will eat good clover hay
in preference to any other rough feed.
Even the swine and poultry relish q
feed OF it occasionally. Another large
item to the credit of the clover is the
manure made while feeding it, which il
returned to the soil in proper manner,
will still further increase the fertility of

EATING FISH.

1t is not good form to ask for sec
ond helping of fish.
1t is considered extremely bad form
to use knife in dissecting fish.
a little modern fish knife, with an in.
genious fork arrangement on one side
is now made.
\ bit of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it is in correct form
to use the fingers in expressing the
juice.
Potatoes are considered proper ac.
cessory to tie fish course.
Sliced cucumbers, with plain French
dressing, are also served.
With n boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
scooped out and garnished with little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion of fish.
The bones must be evaded with such
deXterity as one can command without
other aid than such rs bit of bread
held in the left hand may furnish.
