Richmond, Norfolk, and little Peters
burg have suddenly been seized with a
religious or moral fervor which causes
anxiety. Richmond is having bonires
of gambling devices; Norfolk has CIV
en- notice that whiskey shall not be
sold in her midst, while little Peters
burg has shut restaurants, cigar stands
and soda fountains, and will not so
much as allow ice cream to be deliver
ed on Sunday. There is danger that
these municipalities may grow too
good, since there is about as much
danger in being too good, as too bad.

vote in every instance In the Tilden-
HAYES contest for President in 1875 7"
We answer no, that was another Brad

the name twisted. He evidently has
been dreaming of Bradley T. johnson,
who recently decided the very impor-
tant question of Hopping over into
the Republican party by a much larger

United States is in the midst of a
bloody civil war. The coal miners in
Pennsylvania have arisen against the

Russia would declare war against the
United States, and a Russian fleet,
that already had arrived at Cavite,
would sink all the American ships,
even as Dewey had the armada of the
Spanish in 1898.
So even if the outlook in their i'm
mediate vicinity should appear to be
almost hopeless, the letter declared,
it always must be remembered that
the insurgents were winning great
victories in other places, SO no one
should be discouraged
Another peculiar tale said that the
Americans now have chaplain with
every regiment for the reason that
the number of Americans killed by
the insurgents had increased so
greatly that the chaplains with the
army a year ago were insufficient to
receive the dying confessions of the
soldiers killed in battle.
Although the United States was
considered a Protestant nation, so
many Americans were sent to hell
from the Philippines, according to the
story, that all Christendom was
scandalized and the pope of Rome
commanded the president to send
more chaplains to the islands.
