The first wheel to be turned in the
power plant of the Virginia Electrical

water was not had
Late Tuesday night the flume Of the
Montague tail race and the Tredegar
hume were opened and the water was
let into the canal. The water was let
in on the wheels yesterday morning.
The machinery was kept in operation

It is expected that in about two weeks
the plant will be running regularly.
The work of taking down the elevator
in the stack was begun yesterday and
about all that remains to be done now
is to go over the piping and tighten up
several joints. which will make the
steam connections. The four boilers.
connected in series. have been tested to!
400 pounds pressure. and everything
now noints to the early completion Of

BRITISH HOPEFUL,
Frcnch's Success Encourages the the War
Office.
fBy Associated Preus.)


LONDON, Feb. 21-Gen. French's most
recent success, combined with other adj
vantages gained by the British forces in
South Africa, have created q most hopeful
feeling in the war office here.
General French is quite the hero OF the
hour on Pail Mall, though, cf course, Gen
eral Kitcnener's controlling hand is recog-
nized under every circumstance. 1t is felt
that SO long as the British forces are
doing something to diminish the Beers
supply of men, mounts and ammunition.
they are achieving the only possible OBJ
jective at present in sight.
1t is not believed to be at all likely that
General Kitchener Will grant any armis-
tice. In fact small reliance is placed on
such an offer. for even if General Botha
gave in the War Office is inclined to con-
slider that his action would only affect the
force under his immediate, individual COM
u.and.

The ForUm heard Hon. George A.
Pearre speak somewhere and makes re-
port as follows:
In drawing comparison between the I'M
educated man and the university chump,
Colonel Pearre made the astounding state
ment that he knew five hundred men with
sheepskins who are fools. He did not say,
however, that all fools are graduates, nor all
graduates fools.
If the gallant colonel has been cor
rectly reported, the For"m'S qualification
hardly meets the issue.
The question is-not what che did not
saw" but-what did he mean: Did he
mean to disparage education:
Religion makes fools of some people
not few at that, but who would dis
courage schooling and graduation in
piety on that account:
Coming down and closer to the real
thing"-are fools, graduates or not
qualified to vote and hold office:
If so, what is the value of the stereo-
typed argument that education, as the
patron of good citizenship, is the foe of
anarchy:
If not, why draw line against the
sheepskin graduates when voting is to be
made easy and offices distributed:
In short, 80, sinner, why take the
harder side? ~
