In Roanoke, Virginia, the Methodists and Lutherans made an exchange un- usual, if not unprecedented, in church history When they were at the height of their prosperity the Lutherans built ! a handsome stone house of worship, which cost them $SO,OOO, and which seats seven hundred persons. They got a fine organ and everything of the best and costliest style, and in their enthusiasm expended more than they intended and had to borrow $1S,O0O. Then came a squabble about the pastor and the choir, the attendance fell off and the congregation was sadly divided, until,
 having lost it's best men. the society found it difficult to raise the money to pay the interest on the debt in addition to the regular running expenses. In

Congressman Woods of California tells about a sermon he once heard in church in border camp in the early days. The subject was eternity, and the preacher was attempting in his fee- ble way to impress upon his shining hearers what they might expect in the duration of the punishment that was coming to them. He asked them to imagine an English sparrow standing on the shore of the Atlantic ocean and dipping it's bill into it's waters He begged them to think of that sparrow hopping on one foot, with It's bill full of water, to the Pacific, and there deposit ing the water. Then they were to pie ture to themselves the same sparrow hopping back to the Atlantic for more water, and repeating the operation un- til it had emptied the waters of the one ocean into that of the other. "When that is accomplished" said the preach CT, 1t will be just the beginning of sum- rise in Eternity"

 According to the calculations of the Hospital, an English medical journal, 5,776 officers and men were killed in &C., ton in the South African war and 2,O19 died of the wounds which they received. The deaths from disease amounted to s13,272. In action one officer was killed to every 1915 men and one officer was wounded to every 11.S4 men. But of those who died from disease only one in every 3s.5 men was an officer. The number of invalids sent home during the war was about 10000 and of these more than 5000 died or left the service. The vast majority, of course, were re- stored to health. To prove that the war, after all, was not a big one, the Hospital quotes the figures of the bat { tie of Gravelotte, in which the victor ious Germans had BPS officers and 4.9Oo men killed and nearly 15,OoO wounded.

A resident of Auckland, who is stay ing in Washington, says: There is not a tramp in New Zealand. Our population does not contain many millionaires, but neither have we many who are abjectly roor. Women have been exercising all the rights of citizenship in our country for many years, and though it is ques- tionable whether the country is any better off for it, the policy will not be changed. We have, too, pension sys- tenn that is a success with us, but whether it would beFpracticab1e in a big nation like the United States, I cannot say.

that because Virginia is the Mother OF
States and Statesmen. she does not need

she does not need to be advertised In
this respect, for her history is well
known. But her soil and her climate
and her Infinite resources and this great
advantages and Inducements she offers
to settlers are not generally known.
Strangely enough. however. we are al
ways exploiting vIrgnia's history. about
which so much Is known, and yet have
little or nothing to say Of her material
wealth. about which very little is known
Indeed. virg1nians do not know their
own State. The people IN the Valley and
IN the Southwest know comparatively
little about conditions In the Piedmont
and the Tidewater section. and vice
versa. We venture to say that q flrst-
class Industrial exhibit from the State
OF Virginia at the St Louis Exposition
would be almost as much Of revela-
ton and startlersto some people nv!nE
in the State OF Virginia to-day as It
would be TO outsiders.
The st. Louis Exposition will afford
a splendid opportunity to advertise, and
the Legislature should not be niggardly
in the appropriation which We hope II
VIII make for that purpose.

When Mr. Mitchell learned the person.

would have nothing further to say until
morning.
THE whole matter will be placed be-
fore the Joint meeting of the three Execu-

said Mr.. Mitchell short time before.
In reply to the question II he would
comply with the Presidents request that
coal mining be resumed Immediately. he
said he would make more definite an
swer when he knew more about the mat
ter.
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press later asked President Mitchell for
further enlightenment on the situation
regarding immediate resumption, and he
made the positive statement that dele
gates convention must first pass upon
the question OF calling OF the striks.
From the time OF the calling OF the con-

" and doubt that convention will stand
by any agreement he has made with

AS in OLD TINES.

One of the blessings promised the peo-
pie OF Virginia by the new Constitution
was. that in eliminat ting the negro vote
and relieving US of the constant fear OF
negro rule. the white people would be
able to divide on political issues and vote
as they pleased. affiliate with any party
they pleased and change from one party
to another whenever they saw proper
to do So This very thing seems to have
come to pass already, at least so far as
Henry county is concerned.
Last Monday WAS court day In that
county. and likewise political speaking
day. Hundreds Of the sovereigns were
gathered at Martinsville, the county seat,
and the two candidates for Congress.
Swanson (Denocrat) and Davis tRepub-
lican) were on hand. They could not
agree upon a joint debate, and SO one
spoke in the courthouse and the othe'
on the. court green. Mr.. Swanson was
introduced by Mr.. William n. Gravely.
who made a ringing Democratic speech
Of fifteen minutes duration. This was
in the courthouse. Out on the court
green at about the same moment Mr..
Davis was being introduced by Mr..
George L. Gravely who made very
vigorous Republican speech The two
''introducere'' are brothers.
This was not all OF the family divi-
sion. When Mr. Davis had finished his
address TO III constituents the venerable
George p. Gravely. the father OF the
two introducing orators. took the stand
and made a rlp-roarins Republican
speech In the interest of Mr.. Davis.
While all this sreech-making was going
on in Henry Captain Frank D. Grave'y,
a brother Of the venerable George D..
was in another county shaking hands
and doing some vigorous canvassng for
Mr.. Swanson. Truly here is some d.
viding up on political lines after the
manner OF the dividing in the good old
times before sambo became a factor In
the political problem.
