LEE AND THE EXPOSITION.

With General Fitzhugh Lee as the
president of the Virginia Precautionary
Exposition Association, that enterprise
will at once command public attention
The object is well understood to be 10
celebrate the first settlement of the Ing
Iish In what is now the United states,
with a great art and industrial exhibition
and naval display, but so far little acll'e
work has been done. Appropriations are
needed from this State and the general
government, and then proper influences
must be exerted here and abroad to nave
praiseworthy exhibits made. F,itz Lee is
the very man to lead in that work. Wide
Iy known, of magnetic personality, man
of affairs, the worthy bearer OF great
name, he will succeed where most others
would fail Moreover, he is in a position
10 give great deal of mis- time to the
position that be has accepted.
The association will also have very
efficient director-general in Mr.. LoWen-
berg. whose field of operations will be
at Norfolk mostly.
From what we gather from the news
papers, the exposition grounds will be at
Sewells Point, which is connected with
Norfolk by double-track street railway,
is the landing place for some lines OF
steamers. and is connected by ferry boat
service with Old Point, Hampton, and
Newport News. We are unable to say
whether Norfolk has better site for the
exposition than this: but this is very
fine one.
From this time onward we may expect
very active efforts to be put forth in be-
half of the Tercentenary. 1t is not to
take place until 1907, and that seems
remote date, but it is not, for, inevitably,
much of public attention will be diverted
by the ST. Louis Exposition of 1904
General Lee, we dare say, will take the
field and unfurl his flag as soon al q
plan of operations can be formulated. We
naturally suppose that the Virginia Legis-
lature will be called upon at its fall ses-
sion to make an appropriation as an
earnest of its purpose to encourage and
sustain the enterprise that it has char
tered. No doubt General Lee will be in
evidence here when that subject is under
consideration.

THE D1GEsr1n1LrTY OF PINS.

Every fond mother who has seen her
babies advance from the helpless, supine
state to the crawling period Of their ex-
istence, can bear testimony to the fact
that small children, one and all, seem pos
sessed of an irresistible desire to swallow
such sharp things as pins, needles, tacks,
bits of glass, buttons, and matches. These
derful knacl of finding on carpets and
bare floors, are gulped down with appar-
ent relish. Strange to say, such Incl
dents usually end harmlessiy and prove
more shocking to parents than they do TO
children-a providential arrangement
which has saved the lives of hundreds of
little tots.
Post, DR.. Alfred E2ner, of Vienna, after
many experiments on other animals, has
found a reason for the strange immunity
which children enjoy from this kind of
diet
We quote the Post: THE secret, as
disclosed by DIR. Exner,- lies in the fact
that. when a pointed or sharp-edged body
comes into contact with the lining of the
stomach or intestines, the part touched
contracts or FUCKERS, so as to thicken
itself in that place. At the same time
it withdraws itself in such manner as
to form little pocket, and gradually
twists the object around so as to turn
the edge or point away, pushing the thing
along. In this manner needles are turned
SO as to keep their points away from the
membrane, and it is the same way with a
pin or pieceof glass. AS rule the deli
cate lining suffers no injury, and such a
thing as perforation of the intestinal
wall is exceedingly rare.

action. and cites cases where such has
been done.

On Snakes,
bedford Democrat.)


When we published in the Democrat
year ago, a snake story about the killing
OF eighty black snakes in one pile, we
thought Bedford was a long way ahead
on snakes. Pittsylyania, however, takes
the lead this season, and D. w. Motley,
who lives four miles from Chatham, is
the champion snake killer Mr.. Motley
one day last week saw {. writing, wrig-
ling mass Of the descendants of the
tempter of mother Eve. Each snake was
of considerable size. The great snake
killer went for his shotgun and fired into
the mass, one shot only. He picked up
thirty dead snakes. But this is nothing
to what he did some years ago. He found
a4nollow log filled with snakes and fired
it, and the ashes left from the fire could
not be moved by a two-horse team at
one load.
Our snake story was not accompanies
with an affidavit. but this Motley story is
youched for by the Chatham correspondent
of the Richmond Dispatch. He says Mr..
Motley's word cannot be doubted.

Eccentricities That Advertised.
(NeW York SUM

The eccentricities of William F. Howe,
the criminal lawyer who died last week,
were his superficial stock in trade to make
his personality conspicuous. They helped
to advertise him. His white yachting
cap in summer, his blazing diamonds all
the year around and his f1amhoyant ora
tory in court in unimportant cases made
him easily the most picturesque man Of
the criminal bar in recent years. Some of
his noted predecessors had used similar
means to advertise themselves. Mr..
ranted it was spontaneous and entertain
ing. He enjoyed it, and his humor was
genuine. He had the Well-trained actors
ability to assume many part, and in the
days when Colonel Fellows was District
Attorney a contest of pathos, laundering
eloquence or humor between these two
men was more entertaining than any
stage play. There was not another law
yer in this city who tried more cases in
which there was no prospect of a fee than
Mr.. Howe. Some of these cases he took
from friendship and others for the pleas
ure he expected to get out of them. or
perhaps for the advertising they might
bring. His genuine legal ability was fully
appreciated by the court in which he
practiced, but without his eccentricties
of manner and dress he would not have
filled as much space in the public eye
as he did.

The New York Sun says that some
months ago a Frenchman had built in
Paris, at cost of nearly $4,000, an auto
mobile, which resembled house-boat and
would accommodate comfortably five in
dividuals Its length was 60 feet and it's
maximum speed twelve miles per hour.
The owner of this vehicle, it was said,
intended to make an extended trip with
it through France and Italy, and had
taken on board enough provisions to last
for two months.
Now a resident of Rochester, N. Y,
who has recently completed a tour of
several hundred miles in a motor car

period, and once gave promise Of be-

Why Not Another:
Chicago Inter-Ocean.)


1t appears to us that the Atlanta Con-
stitution is unnecessarily pessimistio when
it declares that 'the presence of Hopkins
in the Senate, we fear, will act as a bar
to the senatorial aspirations of Governor
'Red-Head Jack Montague, Of Virginia,
because, as the Constitution reasons, the
Senate can stand but one at a time.'
This is illogical. to say the least, and it
must be due rather to some concealed
prejudice on the part of the Hon. Clark
Howell toward the Hon. Jack Montague
than to any honest conviction the brilliant
editor of the Constitution entertains that
the Senate could not stand two red-haaded
Senators.
To our knowledge, there is nothing in
the Constitution of the United States, nor
anything in the printed or unwritten rules
of the Senate, which could be construed
to mean that one red-headed Senator is
the limit. If the Constitution can point to
any such provision, or to any such un-
written law, we should be glad to be di-
rected to its references.
