houses, is reported to be washed out. The
same section suffered greatly in 1889. A
portion of the business section of Cumber-

very heavy.

Mr.. RooseveIt,s Escape.
= petersburg Index-Appeal.)

There is no tinge of partisanship in the
general rejoicing throughout the country
at the escape which President Roosevelt
made yesterday from death or serious ac-
cident. great many people Of the
United believe that the President could be
better employed in the intervals of the
sessions of Congress than in the undigni-
fed business of running about the coun-
try making speeches in promotion of his
own nomination. But Mr.. Roosevelt is
not the first President who has been
guilty of this conduct, though as a
characteristic of the man, he has pushed
the work more strenuously and more pic
turesquely than any OF his predecessors
Nevertheless, everybody is glad that he
was not seriously hurt, and everybody
will hope that the incident will bear good
fruit, and prove warning that will in
cline him to devote his vacations here
after to rest and meditation that he may
be refreshed mentally and physically for
the high and important duties which de-
volye upon him.

Those Roanoke Doctors

AS result of the Roanoke doctors
raising prices for visits to the sick, two
protective" associations have been
formed in that city, with large member
ships, which have determined to resist
the demands of the physicians. One of
the associations has entered into an
agreement with two local doctors and
the other has employed a physician from
a distant county and will pay them a
monthly salary. Now the doctors who
are not "in it, are wondering if it would
not have been best to have let we'll
enough alone, while the three which are
to receive regular salaries are said to
be elated at their good luck. The plans
adopted by the Roanokers are on the
lines of those in vogue in China where
doctors are paid so much a year for keep
ing their patients well, but when sick
ness occur they get nothing-Alexandria
