The registration under the new
Constitution has closed in many sec
tions Of the State and the result
shows that the colored voter is no
longer a factor in the politics OF the
State. The reports from many coun-
tie indicate that the larger proper
ton OF them, either because OF In
difference in the matter or through
fear OF being denied the privilege OF
registering, failed to apply, and that
only a small number of those, VINO
claimed the privilege because oil
their ability to explain a clause OF
the Constitution could give answers
satisfactory to the registrars. The
colored brother as an interpreter Of
the Constitution, was not lin 1t" IL
.ny county OF the State. A large
lumber of the white voters OF the
State too have failed to register bu
their Indifference or neglect in the
matter gives no encouragement tC
the republicans even to hope for as
tendency in the State. Democrats II

old Commonwealth in every count!

The end OF the coal strike may be
near at hand. A step at least in that
direction seems to have been taken
by President Roosevelt, which ought
not to be failure. He will attempt
IL settle it, it Is stated, first by a
per.onal appeal TO representative
operators and miners, now in con-
ference with him in the city OF
Washington, to adjust their differ
ences, and failing in that, 1t is be-
lieved, Congress may be convened 10
extra session and be asked to deal
with the question. In any event the
outcome OF that conference ought "a
be attended with good results. The
parties in interest, by the exercise OF
n little common sense, ought to see
that it is their duty to get together
and arrive at an agreement amoLe
themselves, which will avert the
horrors, which will follow a fue
famine. II, however, a settlement
cannot be effected in that way there
ought to be no question, that oul
lawmakers backed by the President
can find a way to terminate the
strike and prevent the suffering
which is likely to attend it. If per
sisted In much longer.

The Charlottesville Progress, whose
edftor wac O nonbor Of eh0 lAtO Con
stitutional Convention, thus explains
the registration clause,or more prop
erly speaking, the ordinance:
"There is provision in the ordi
nance relating to the registration OF
voters which is very important to
those who, through careless neglect
of the published notice, failed to reg
lister at the appointed time. 1t is the
one which empowers the registrars to
act at such other places within the
district or ward as may be convenient
and necessary to complete the regis
tration of the voters This clearly
mea ns that any two Of the registrars
acting as a majority of the board,
can register applicants at any time
and at any place within their ward OF
district between now and October 10.
Notice OF such registration is not re-
quired. This clause of the ordinance
will protect many who fail to attend
the regular meetings of the board
and who will otherwise be debarred
from registering for the next twelve
months"

The failure Of the N. Y. P. & n. R.
R., Co, to fur nish enough cars for
the transportation promptly Of the
sweet potato crop Of the Eastern
Shore to market, is causing consid>
cradle anxiety to our farmers and
may result in much loss to them.
Detained as the crop now is and ex'
posed to the weather for days for
lack of facilities for moving same, it
necessarily arrives in market in a
damaged condition and is sold at a
loss to them, but they have reason
to fear a much greater loss by the
decline In price if not sold while the
weather is favorable for the ship
ment OF the crop. Why the cars are
not furnished, of course we do not
know, but the matter calls for the
attention OF some one and speedy
action seems to be necessary.

In MemOriaIn

In memory Of Norman j. Bloxom,
the little son of Perry l.. and DAME
r. Bloxom, who died August 25th,
1902, aged 10 years, 3 months and 10
days.
0, how bright, our little sunbeam,
On the road alone,
But an angel came and whispered,
Little Norman, thy work is done.
Hes gone from earth, yes gone for
ever.
-dimmed eyes will gaze liz vain,
We shall hear his voice, oh never;
Nevermore on earth again.
O, God of love, send us some token
From the spirit world above,
That our hearts all crushed and
broken,
May be healed by heavenly love.
Farewell, dear Norman, we loved so
well,
The parting scenes no tongue can
tell,
But on that high and happy shore,
We hope to meet to part DO more.
BY his mother, father and sister.
In loving remembrance Of my
dearly beloved mother, Caroline s.
Shrieves, who departed this life May
9th, 1902. Gone but not forgotten.
Death has robbed us of our mother,
OF the one we loved so well,
Taken from this world of sorrow,
Safely home with Him to dwell.
Gone from earth, yes gone forever,
Tear dimned eyes will gaze in vain,
We shall hear her voice, oh never,
Nevermore on earth again.
Home is sad. oh how dreary!
Lonesome, lonesome every spot,
Listening for her voice till weary,
Weary for we hear not.
BY her loving daughter,
Jennie E. Russell.

ABANDONS FINE MANSION.
Bvhop Potter's Bride to Present an
llogant Home to New York
Charity.

It is reported that Mrs. Alfred Cor
ming Clark, who is engaged to marry
Bishop Henry c. Potter, purposes
abandoning her magnificent New York
mansion at Riverside drive and
Eighty-ninth street, New York city,
and will give the house to some char
ity, to be designated by the bishop.
For the last few weeks the bishop
has been visiting Mrs. Clark at her
summer home, %Fernleigh, on the
shores of Otsego lake. and there, i is
said. they have been planning for the
disposition of their town and country
houses, when the union shall have
| combined the two valuable estates.
The suggestion that the Riverside
drive house be devoted to one OF the
bishops many charities gave the final
impulse to Mrs. Clark's preferences.
and thus the choice was made. After
her marriage to the bishop she will 60
to Washington square to live.
Mrs. Clark's mansion on the River
side drive was completed only about
two years ago. 1t is n of the most
striking residences on that beautiful
thoroughfare.
One reason for Mrs. Clark's desire to
give up the house is said to be that she
is disappointed in it's appearance. An
f, other reason is attributed to the sol.
diers' and sailors monument that has
been erected in Riverside park, just
across the drive from the mansion.

Emma Calve, the prima donna, has
written to friends at Paris who in
quired if it is true that she has been
secretly married to George Cain, the
author, who made it a condition that
she should quit the stage. She says:
II am still single, although | have

rescue me from my sad vagrant state.
"The particular man you mention l
finally brought to make definite over
lures last month. We knew and loved
each other when both were young.
Then we wandered apart, each into
many exhilarating experiences. Now
that we meet again, fat and sedate, we
are going to associate mutually, nurse
GU bruises and cherish our remi-
niscences.
"But the solemnities which this time
will give permanency to our affections
will not take place before next winter.
Meanwhile you will see me at the Paris
Opera Comique the whole winter, if
violent exercise can reduce me enough

"SEARCHL1GHrs FAIL.
In Roes0k M~ansuveFs the Light Does
Not Frsve Itself q Great Xdjunct
Of Warfare.

In his report to the secretary of
the navy upon the combined operations
between the army and navy, Admiral
H%igginson comments interestingly
upon some of the lessons to be learned
from the maneuvers. He says: "Much
valuable knowledge in regard to
searchlights has been obtained during
these operations, and the general opin-
ion seems to be that they are not so
effective as has been supposed. In ap-
preaching positions at night the
searchlights would flesh very often
upon the ships, lighting up smoke
stacks and hull so that large print
could easily be read, and everyone sup
posed the ships had been discovered,
but the searchlights would turn away
and evidently the observers had not
seen the vessels.
