VIRGINIA AND U. S. SETTLE UP.
States Claim Offsets Indian Account.

- fN~NtAAtAs
Senator Martin has succeeded in clos
ing mp matter between Virginia and the
United States. which has been pending
for nearly n hundred years When war
was declared in 1912. the federal govern
ment had to borrow money from several
of the states, among them the state Of
Virginia. The amount in round figures
was about 81, 900. 900. The federal
government had claim against the
state of Virginia, growing out of funds
for the indians. and declined to pay the
loan pending n settlement OF that. Asa
result of the work ofSenator Martin. the
matter has been adjusted and the claim
against the State is wiped out
During the war 1S12-15 with Great
Britain, Virginia advanced large sum
oi money to the United States. When
the United States paid of this debt 20
the State OF Virginia. soon after the close
of the war of lS12-15. it was paid in in-
stallments. Whenever a payment was
made, the United States. instead OF ap-
plying that payment to the accumulat-
ed interest of the debt. applied it TO the
principal. Virginia protest against that
method of settlement, but the United
State insisted on it and the claim was
receipted for by the State. Ever since
that settlement was made Virginia has
been insisting that il was erroneous and
has been trying TO have it reopened and
settled on a just basis. but no bin has
ever been passed through seither branch

Intermittency is that form OF irreg-

drop beat occasionally In some in
stances 1t occurs regularly and two or
three times per minute for several
hours. Sometimes. also. II is very ir-
regular and is noted n number of
times within a few seconds and not
again for minute or more. This Pc
culiarity generally causes much un-
easiness. Yet while II may be a very
serious symptom and associatedawith
grave and incurable disease of the
heart, 1t often signifies merely a func-
tional disturbance which is in nowise
dangerous.

Hunter Has Narrow Escape While
Shooting in Borneo.
A hunter, while exploring in Bor-
neo, shot large baboon at spring
some distance from camp. So says a
recent traveller, who proceeds to re-
late the dangerous result of the shot.
The animal fell with a sharp cry,
and Immediately another baboon came
in sight and gave a loud yell. While
the hunter was preparing to shoot
the newcomer, a small army Of ba-
boons appeared, and the hunter re-
allied that he was in danger of being
torn to pieces.
One full-grown baboon is easily a
match for man, and hundred are
to be dreaded more than as many
wolves. The hunter promptly took to
his heels, with the balloons after him.
Occasionally he paused and shot
the nearest one, but he would have
been overpowered had not his CON-
rades sailed out from the camp, and
with q general volley compelled the
pursuers to retreat

Seem to Know the Danger That
Turks in Electricity.
A letter which reaches us from
Naples will be read with interest. The
writer, in visiting the great electric
works there, seems to have been
struck chiefly with what was told
him by the engineer in charge with
regard to the habits of the birds
in the*neighborhood. Never by any
chance, he says, do they ever settle
on the wires that conduct the electl ic
force to the city, but always wait till
the current is interrupted before
alighting. I'VE always switch of
the current" said the electrician,
from noon till p. m. every day. A
few moments after noon the wires are
crowded with birds, but few min
utes before 1 o'clock they all fly
away and never attempt to sit on the
wires. If by any chance we are
obliged to keep the current after
midday, the birds are there ready to
settle, but on approaching the wires
fly away again. It seems that they
know when q wire is conveying cleo
tricity. Even the flies seem to know.
You will never see a fly settle on a
wire carrying current. london

One Dose Always Cured.

A doctor at one of the frontier posts
some years ago conceived way of
checking "dead-beating" among the
soldiers who tried to- shirk their du-
ties by claiming they were sick.
He invented a mixture called mis-.
tura diabolicus," which was composed
of asafostida, valerian and gum suaiac.
1t made truly blood-curdling dose,
though it did not injure the health Of
the mahagerer.
The doctor frequently referred to it
as the most powerful medicine within
his knowledge, for the gum guaiac was
introduced to make the valerian and
asafoetida stick to the teeth, and 30
retain the taste in the mouth long
after the nauseous dose had been
swallowed. One dose always effected
a speedy cure.-Stray Stories.

der Sheppard was governor of the
District of Columbia. During his
term of ONCE a vast deal of money
was expended on public improve
ments and doubtless much of it was
stolen. Taxpayers came to hate the
name OF Sheppard, who left Wash
ington and went to Mexico, where he
became millionaire. Now he has re-
turned to the national capital. Time
has wrought whirligig, for there
is a movement in favor of giving him
a vacancy on the board of district
commissioners. The man who would
have suggested the idea twenty years
ago would have been burned in effigy.

Atlanta Constitution: Colonel
Watterson, in The Courier Jour-
nal, takes a hard fall out of Sena-
tor Spooner for brazenly assert
ting that the democrats in con-
gress are responsible ''for the
failure Of the effort to grant the
proper measure of reciprocity to
Cuba" Colonel Watterson re-
cites graphically the incidents of
the effort in congress to grant
tariff concessions to Cuba. From
these stand out two conspicuous
facts, viz:
First, That the president could
not command the support OF enough
republicans to pass the measure h
recommended butthatenoughof that
party Joined with the democrats to
put on an amendment that took
away the protection that fattens
the sugar trust.
Second, That enough republican
senators could not be found to SUD-
port that measure and that, when
the president found that reciprocity
with Cuba could only be obtained
With the aid OF democratic votes, he
orderedthe effort abanGonedand has
lett Cuba with her sufferings pro-
longed to this very day.
So that no man in America needs
to be ignorant of the truth. TIE
democrats were willing always to
grant both reciprocity to Cuba and
relief from the robberies of the sugar
trust in our own people. President
Roosevelt and the Dingley dervishes
were not willing to do either, and
when they found that enough inde-
pendent republicans would join the
democrats for both purposes, thew
refused to allow the matter to nro-
coed in congress.
Now they are preparing to do it BY
open and honorable legislation.
They are forming Cuban treaties
that will give concessions to Cuba
and continue protection to the sugar
trust, and intend to make them law
by senate ratification without refer
ence to or respect for the popular
house of congress. And yet we are
asked to believe that the president is
q great trust-buster and the COM
mon peoples friend!
