Judge Lewis Succeeds Allan.
At the close of the Cabinet session to-
day, Attorney-General Knox announced
officially that the President had deter
mined that he would nominate ex-Jadse
T.. L. Lewis, of Richmond. to succeed
Edgar Allan as United States Attorne,
OF the Eastern District OF V lrglnia- Geii-
eral Allan's term expires December zoth-
Before that time the nomination of Judge
Lewis will have been made to the Senate
and possibly confirmed, and the JudSe
will enter upon the duties OF the office
at the expiration of the term Of the in
cumbent. Judge Lewis is i'll the city.
and said to-day that he would accept the
appointment
1t is learned from the highest authority
that the President wrote Judge Lewis
several months ago. offering him the posi-
tion and urging him to accept 1t. The
President considers Judge Lewis type
of the men he desires to see appointed
in all parts of the country. The Presi-
dent, it is known. would have made Judge
Lewis United States judge last spring.
but for the fact that he did not live in
the district where the vacancy existed.
Since then he has desired to secure the
services of Judge Lewis for the govern
ment. The President has in contempla-
ton a judicial appointment for Judge
Lewis. if there is ever an opportunity to
make him Judge.
The appointment of Judge Lewis was
definitely decided upon at the Cabinet
meeting. Several other similar positions
throughout .ne country were also dispos-
ed of at the meeting.
The appointment Is personal one
with the President, and does not mean
a turn-down for the organization In Fir-
ginia, because of its endorsement OF ex-
Congressman r. T. Thorpe The Prest-
dent to-day took about the same action
in the case Of friend in the, Eastern
District of New Yorn. He will appoint
his former secretary and close neighbor.

Held on Suspicion.

James Lee (colored) was arrested last
night and taken to the First Police Sta
ton where the charge of being a suspi-
cious character was entered against him
and he was locked up. The police think
he is another of the gang of negroes with
Willie Turpin. who went to New Jersey,
and while there got into row with a
conductor on a train and shot him. Tur-
pin was caught some weeks ago and sent
on to be tried.
Lee had letters in his pocket from New

is probable that he is one of the gang.

Mexican Child Life.

Mexican children high and low are
exceedingly fortunate in being treated
almost uniformly with the greatest
kindness and affection by their par
ents. From babyhood they have an ex-
cellent understanding with their eld-
ers, respect and affection on one side,
affection and tenderness on the other.
No Indian is too ragged or dirty to
kiss the hand of his tattered old moth
er with the grace of a lord. This hab-
it, with the real reverence of which it
is the outward and visible symbol, is
commenced early in childhood. An In
dian, even drunk, does not abuse his
family. Assisted home by friend on
either side, whose condition is only a
few degrees better than his own, he
sits on his doorstep, the one entrance
to the single unlighted room consti-
tuting his dwelling, and contemplates
life with maudlin good nature while
the children and dogs play around him
and over him until he falls into drunk
en- stupor.

CuItiyatfng Ginger.

Ginger is made a matter of scientific
culture in Jamaica. 1t is propagated by
cutting up small pieces of the root. and
II possible, rich. cool soil from recent
ly cleared woods is selected for it. 1t
Is a great impoyerisher of the soil and
grows so luxuriantly that in a short
time little piece of root will spread SO
as to produce nearly pound of new
roots. The sets are planted in March
or April and get to their full growth
about September.
The roots are dug usually In Jamaica
In January or February. They are
washed, exposed to the sun until thor
oughly dried and packed In parcels of
about hundred pounds each. In order
to dry them more rapidly they are first
scalded in a little copper pot in order
to destroy life, of which the roots are
very tenacious. White ginger and
black ginger are from the same roots,
the difference arising from methods of
curing. Roots for sugar preserving are
dug while quite young, before the
stems are more than five or six inches
high.

Syrian Asphalt.

Asphalt is found in the provinces of
Syria on the banks of the Dead sea
floating on the surface of its waters.
Through the action of earthquakes the
asphalt has been torn from the bottom
of the sea and driven toward the shores,
especially to the east. The narratives
of the Greek and Roman historians to
the effect that asphalt as small islands
was upheld by the salt water and driv-
en- over the surface of the sea are with
out doubt true. This asphalt and gen
orally the oriental or Egyptian is pure
and expensive and used principally in
the manufacture of a certain kind of
varnish, but for general purposes, ow-
ing to its brittleness as well. is useless
in the asphalt industry. - American

PERSIAN RUGS.
A safe Rule by which 20 Distinguish
the Genuine Ones.


A great many persons hatter them
selves that they are able to tell gen.
uine Persian rug from a spurious ma
chine made one by touch, but in this
they deceive themselves. The best and
surest way to tell a genuine from an
imitation Persian rug is the following:
If one will look closely, one will OBJ
serve that In the genuine Persian rug
the intricate and complicated pattern
or design Is not altogether symmetric-
al, the corresponding flowers, vines or
geometrical figures Of one side being
little out Of line, larger or smaller
or not meeting and pointing with fig
ures on the corresponding detail on the
opposite side of the rug This is owing
to the fact that in hand weaving it Is
impossible to obtain perfect symmetry
of patterns, especially when the de-
signs are as complicated as they are
on Persian rugs. On the other hand,
let one examine closely the machine
made rug, and one will find the most
perfect symmetry of pattern, SO much
SO in fact that the design looks posi-
lively rigid and harsh. This pretty
safe guide, and if observed one will
seldom mistake an imitation for gen.
uine Persian rug
