a favored spot, and favorite with The

here than in the cities; even in a city
SO near by as Staunton, there is a
difference in the temperature of from

from Cincinnati, who sits at table with
the writer, expresses the situatier
when he said 1.-The thermometer stood
100 degrees when left my home, here

night, and l always sleep under blan

cOmfortable-and no mosquitoes"
Besides the natural pleasures of the
place, Variety has the advantage of
four daily mails and is connected by
telephone with the local lines and the
long distance system of the State.

Washington, Richmond, Newport
News and nearly every other 1mpor-
tant city within a radius of several
hundred miles.

Ideas and Results.

Cant. affectation, sham, are
plentiful in advertising. They
usually intensity dizziness and drive
the commonplace downward into
actual stupidity. Thus all adver-
: Using is handicapped. "Advertis-
IN" is a good word that has lost
some OF its character.
This is short preface to some
remarks about this business. 1t is
business of ideals-no cant in
in that. The plans of the future
are far wider than any present
attainment. But even now we
present to public confidence a
range of articles in gold, silver,
cut glass, china and completeness
OF service not usually attempted.
Our motto has always been Good
Quality at a Reasonable Price, It
is not always low price that makes
the bargain-it's what you get for
the price. This is the rule which
we adopted at the start and which
has made our business what it is.

HELD TRAIN FOR LARGE PARTY.
How the Late Cab Maddux OufwItted Z
Railroad to Make Connection.

while we we're over In Petersbur
the other day" said Judge R H. CARD
well. waiting for train to take us t
this CITY, we began talking to a mum
Der of friends-Judge Keith and my
self-and the conversation turned up
on experience in waiting for trains ant
in missing them. A number of gentle
men had related occurrences In which
they were interested, and some one
mentioned the name f"Cab" Maddux
whose death occurred year ago, one
of the best known men in the State
both for his proportions and his re-.
markedly quick wit.
IA Petersburg man recalled an Incl
dent in which Cab had figured, show
ing how he always accomplished his
purpose whenever he made up his mind
that he would do anything. Cab was
in Norfolk and was very anxious to
get to Washington the same evening.
The train on which he was to leave
n orfolk was several hours late, MAX
ing it impossible for him to make the
connection at Petersburg in order to
get to Richmond to take his train for
Washington. Cab thought over the
situation few moments. an he sat
down and wrote his telegram to the
manager of the road.
"'Big party for Washington from
Norfolk. Can you hold the train at
Petersburg to make the connection for
RichmondH'
1.-THE superintendent of the road got
the telegram all right, and as he de-
sired to make the road popular with
the travelling public replied that the
train would be held for the large par
ty, and so instructed the conductor
and engineer to hold the train at Pc
tersburg. when the Norfolk train
came In off stepped the por tly and jolly
Cab Maddux and made straight for the
waiting train. The conductor looked
in vain for the expected numerous par
ty, and inquired of Cab where was the
large party.
SIT strikes me that l am pretty
large party. 1 only spoke for myself.
You can pull out, Mr.. Conductor, l
am abroad And with that Cab piled
into the smoking car, while the rail-
road men laughed at his joke. Rich |

COAL
MINERS
IN SESSION
Thus Far No Definite Action
as to a Formal Strike
Has Been Taken.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. May 22--The execu-
tive committee of the three anthracite
districts OF the United Mine Workers re-
suned their joint sessions this morning
for the purpose of considering any fur
ther business that may be presented.
Nether President Mitchell nor the COM
mittee men would say what matters
would be taken up but as the call for
the proposed special national convention
has not yet been issued, II Is believed
this will be the principal thing that will
engage the attention OF the meeting.
President Mitchell had no information
to impart before he entered the meeting.
He confirmed the Associated Press dis
patch that the Michigan bituminous dis
trict had consented to the call for a ma
tionaI convention. Mr. Mitchell was dis
inclined to talk on the proposition OF call
ing out the engineers. firemen and pump
men unless they are given an S-hour day
at the present wages, except to say that
he expects the mine owners TO comply
with the demands OF the union.

WANTS $4,000.
Mrs. Phebe Farnum Sues for
Damage to Her Hand.

The suit Of Mrs. Phebe Farnum against
Gilman & Colby to recover $4,000 was
on trial in Judge Douglas court today.
Mrs. Farnum had one Of her hands bad
ly injured in a mangle at the defend
ants laundry in May, 1900.
She claims that Mr.. Colby, a member
of the firm. told her to clean mangle
which was a dangerous job and while
she was so doing Colby turned the
steam on.
The plaintiff called two doctors, one
OF whom said that the hand had not
been properly treated by a third doctor,
who was not called.
The defendants say, and In this they
are substantiated by all their employees,
that the accident was due TO the care
lessness of the plaintiff In putting the
mangle while in motion. Mr.. Colby de-
nies he ever ordered plaintiff TO clean
the mangle.
Another claim by the defendants is
that the mangle was started by one OF
the plaintiffs fellow servants. whose
business at the time was the running OF
towels through the mangle.
z. c. Pierce and W. 5. Knowles are
counsel for the plaintiff and James j.
Nolan, Jr., counsel for defendants.

FREIGHT HOUSES CHoKED.
The wholesalers have grown real angry
over delay In the delivery Of their orders.
because complaint after complaint comes

1t is fairly easy to get goods from the
freight house or express office. but the
difnculty Is to have teamers call. receive
the parcels and leave them at the freight

Another fact Is that the freight houses
on Canal street are choked, more so than
ever.
The railroad company has surely done
splendidly as far as perishable goods
were concerned, but they tudiciously al
