A POSSIBLE CONTEST.
WILLIAMSBURG Recent Local OPP
ton Election.


An interesting bit OF news comes out of
Williamsburg TO the effect that the re-
suit of the recent local option election
in the old Virginia capital may be con-
tested.
There are four saloons in the corpor-
ate limits OF Williamsburg and, under
the provisions Of the election they must
close their doors by May 1. The pro-
prietor of one OF them has, il is under
stood already made arrangements to
open up at Fort Magruder, just over la
York county. conveniently close.
The other three IT is limited. will not
yield tamely. especially as It is consider
cd that there is excellent grounds for
contest.
In the FIRST place the ballots used were
OF the old sly le in vogue before the Aus
tralian ballot was introduced. In other
words il was not secret ballot. The
election workers were permitted TO hand
out the printed slips 20 voters as they

cable TO cases where parry candidates
are being voted ON or where issues art

The question. as applied 20 this case
Is certainly pertinent one.
Another ground for contest Is tn
claim that quite number OF student

Jercsts might nave been.

OBJECT OF NIHILISM,
Some of the Things Its Adherents
 Seek to Accomplish.
The Society Consists Chiefly of Edu- cated Men and Women Who
 Make. Use sof All Sorts of Means to Gain Freedom

It is now about 20 years since the Russian nihilists instituted that mem. orable reign of terror which culmin: ated in the assassination of Czar Alex ander II. on March 1, 1881. Whether or not the present trouble is as wide spread and deep rooted as was that ot former years probably nobody with in or without Russia is in position tc declare. For, says the New York Trib- une, the nihilist movement is neces- isari1y unorganized. The rule of not letting the right hand know what the left hand is doing is, by compulsioni their principle. In all parts of the em- 'pire are little groups of revolution ists who know that they have many comrades; the government knows that the nihilist clubs dot Russia from end to end, but the true extent of the movement is known neither to the one nor to the other. Among the nihilists themselves communication involves q risk too great to be lightly under taken, while the government, for all it's costly spy system, can obtain only vague information regarding the con. dition of the great volcano on the pin. nac1e of which is enthroned the con scientious and unhappy Nicholas. The mystery which surrounds the move ment naturally serves to add to it's terror for the Russian, and to increase it's fascination for the student of po- litical conditions.

COST. THEM MILLIONS.
Van Choate Company a Scheme to
 Swindle Poor People.

Swindle Poor People.
 Boston, April 2e.-The inside history of an enterprise which cost the poor people of New England millions in the aggregate, and of which there is scarcely an asset left, is given in the report filed to-day of Stephen H. Tyng, appointed by the United States circuit court auditor in the case of w. l.. Clark vs. the Van Choate Electric company to pass upon claims present ed by creditors of the company.
 MT Tyng says that when the com pany was organized its only assets consisted of rights and property turned over by Van Choate for 599, 300 shares of the stock received by him. "The actual, tangible property turned oYer," says the report, twas so incon- sequential in amount and value as to be scarcely worthy of consideration. and that any sane person would pay S6,000,000 for what he turned over is simply preposterous."
 MT Tyng says Van Choate and his coadjutors were perfectly conscious of the fact that the corporation was vast ly over capitalized. He finds that none of the inventions had been dem onstrated to be practical commer- cial success, or really had any pecuni- ary value whatever, and that the com pany from it's inception was not in q solvent condition.

WHY WOMEN DON'T GET RICH.

1 Nearly every woman wants to be
 rich, but she has vague ideas of how l she should go about making money She reads in some newspaper about
 some woman who has been successful in stock operations, and the first spare
 cash she gets she invests Tn stock with
 some curbstone broker. Ninety-nine
 times out of every hundred, she loses,
 her savings. Then she's discouraged,
 and believes that it's not possible for
 women to make money. She resigns herself to keeping house for the rest of her life, and her career as a capita1- ist is ended
 | This woman went about her task in the wrong way. and so does nearly every other woman who starts out to-
 become rich. Those men who say that not one woman in ten has the
 moneymaking instinct are very nearly right. Women like to spend money.
 but they don't know how to make #.
 If they could become Tich in day. or a month, all would try, but they can
 never make up their minds to work years to accumulate fortune, as men do. Women would much rather spend than earn.
 And, because women spend so much. they are hardly ever in the field for investing when the chance comes
 along. No person can invest unless
 he has the wherewithal Most great fortunes have been started by men
 who saved and saved and saved. and finally had few hundred or few thousand dollars to invest whenever the opportunity should come. There are many women who earn good sa1- aries, and who might lay by few hundred dollars a year. if they were so minded. But that is not the way of women. They spend every cent they make, and in most cases have their monthly salaries all spent before it's in their hands. As long as women won't save, we're not likely to have many women millionaries in this coun- try.
 Sometimes there is woman who really wants to increase her fortune, but she soon realizes that conditions are against her. A woman hasn't as many chances for making money an men have. She isn't around among men. as rule, and she doesn't hear Of the opportunities for investment which are talked of. day by day. in Wall street and other financial centers. She wants to buy stocks: she has saved up few hundred to invest, but she doesn't know how to go about #. Most women are afraid to venture into the regions where man reigns supreme This is foolish timidity, for woman can get along as well as man in any office, if she only conducts herself properly and looks out for herself. am able to manage my affairs better than any man could manage them: and, what man has done, women can do. If I had let other people do mY business for me, most likely wouldn't have had any business to do now. and. it is the duty of every woman, l be- lieve, to learn to take care of her own business affairs.

The cable invitation was answered immediately. Charles F. Hodges, the secretary. to- night said that an answer to the inyi- tation sent by mail is expected within q week, as Sir Thomas made reference to the acceptance of the invitation in his speech at the launching last Sat urday.

BORROWED BANK CAPITAL.
This Bank Failed Because Officers
 Took All the Money.

Whatcom, Wash, April 25-Under order of the court, Receiver Muir of the Scandinavian bank has filed re- port of it's affairs. According to the report, the banks president, H. St John Dix, borrowed it's entire deposits and $S,o00 of its capital, on his un- secured notes. Other officers are the banks debtors to the extent of $1, 200. The capital stock of the Scandanavian- American bank was $25, 1000. Of the 250 shares President St John Dix held twenty-seyen and Cashier Oleson fifteen. The banks nominal assets are $31, TIC. Of this over $24,0 GOO is in unsecured notes of it's president.
 Among other things, the receiver claims that the books were falsifed, $24,000 being carried as cash in the vault, which was never there. Presi- dent Dix is at present in London.
 The presidents proper name is H. St John Dix. He went under the name of St John here.

Man Just Wanted to Prove That He

 Stamford, April 26.-Thomas Gava- ghan of this city enlisted in the regu- lar artillery yesterday afternoon at 3:20 o'clock and at $40 o'clock he de- serted Gavaghan represented himself as a single man 33 years old. He told the officers he had served in the Brit ish army for twelve years. Gayaghan was put through the physical test, and was accepted and sworn in. His ap- plication was made so late that there was little time in which to catch the 3:45 express for Fort Schuyler when the physical examination was com pleted. 4 corporal remained behind with Gavaghan while the sergeant and the other recruits went on to the depot.
 On the way to the station the cor poral stepped into 9 counting room to buy a paper. When he came out Ga yaghan had vanished. The corporal made a hurried serach for him, but Gavaghan could not be found. He later was seen and said that he is married, having a family of three ehil- dren. and that his age is 46 instead of s. He enlisted, he declared, just to prove to several young men who failed to pass the physical examination that he would be accepted.
