The subject of this notice was one
adorned with every virtue and en-
HANGED with a charm and sweetness of
manner which drewaround her a num-
Der OF firm friendships upon which
memory loves to dwell"
After brief separation of just four
monthS-she Is again reunited to her
departed loved one.
Amid the silent, subdued grief of a
little company OF relatives and friends
all that was mortal of her was ten
derby committed to ''Mother EARTH

the grand old bills will guard their
sleeping dust" and the murmuring
stream near by will sing requiem

While the reading of the beautiful
scripture selections fell, as balm up
on our broken hearts, we felt that
death was only the Twilight of our
day." and that she had passed into the

The Calamity at St. Pierre.

Slowly the awful fate of st. Pierre,
and it's Inhabitants is be-
ing confirmed. The Governor Of
Guadsloupe telegraphs to Ministry at
Paris as follows: "St. Pierre was de-
stroyed by waterspout and fire. Only
thirty persons rescued and these were
taken from a ship in the harbor by the
French gunbOat Suchet. Everything
leads me to believe that Governor
Mouttet and his wife persisted with the
population of the town.
The dispatch says that the Morne
rouge district, near st. Pierre, was
saved. This gives hope that perhaps
refugees from the stricken district will
be able to find succor there.
The announcement that the thirty
persons known to be saved by the
Suchet were from ship in the harbor.
and not from the town, as at first sup
posed, has caused blank dismay. LII
interpreted to mean that nobody IN the
town has been saved.
The following dispatch was received
from the commander Of the Suchet
dated Point-a Pietre: Towards eight
O'Clock in the morning the volcano
threw a considerable volume of smoke
and Immediately afterward spout OF
flame shot up. A moment later the
entire town was destroyed by fire. Ship.
ping in the harbOr were dismasted and
burned. The rain of rocks lasted fol
a quarter of an hour. l saved few
persons from the ships. No living
creature was visible in the town which
1t was impossible to enter. Numerous
cOrpses lay near the quay"
Information from the many lit
tie islands adjacent to Martinique ten6
to confirm the belief that the lnhabitanti
of st. Pierre, and several adjoining
villages to the number of 10000 OF
more, persisted miserably. Later ad
vices say that st. Pierre and vicinity
was still mass of flames when las
seen. For miles the sea in the vicini
ty is covered with ashes and vessel
have found it impossible to approach
the land. The eruptions still continue
from the volcano and it may be SOM
days before full story of the disaste
can be told. Pestilence is almost Ger
tain to follow the calamity.

There has been some criticism Of the
speeches made by Democrats in the U.
8. Senate on the Philippine bill. Some
of them were illtempered we admit.
Both Mr.. Tillman and Mr.. Carmack
went beyond the limit to some extent,
but the provocation was great. There
is disposition On the part Of some
Southerners and Southern papers to
sneer at Mr.. Tillman. We admire
his candor. We cannot say that he is
always discreet, but he is well nigh the
only man from the South who has the
boldness to say what he feels and
thinks. Others think much as be does,
but are afraid to speak their thoughts.
We are glad there is a Tillman who
will speak his mind, as we used to be
glad there was Jubal A. Early who
had never surrendered. We so des-
pise cringing sycophant that we re-
joice all are not 80, and that truth In
the South Is not dead.

The Oleomargarine bill has just
passed and been signed by the Presi-
dent. If there ever was Republican
blunder this is one. The act should be
declared unconstitutional.
The bill does not allow any food
product to be colored like butter, with
out paying tax Of 10 cts per pound.
The object or proposed object Is to
protect the farmer, but If the govern
ment can do this it can put an end to
any and every product that looks like
any other product. Cotton seed oil
may suffer II 1t looks like lard. Mo-
lasses cannot resemble honey, and 80
on to infinity. How foolish and how
full of politics the bill is.

TO THE PUBLIC.-Captain J. II. Wa
tiers, in his card announcing his can
didacy for the Office Of mayor of Staunton,
appeals for vindication against the action
of the city council, last year, in removing
him from the office of chief of police, by
asking the voters of StauntOn to elect him
to the Office of mayor.
AS my attitude towards Captain Waters
with reference to his reelection to the
be thoroughly understood by the public l
deem it proper for me to say, that while
there is nothing under our city charter, or
ordinances, which gives the mayor, by vir-
tue of his Office, the right to say who shall
fill the various offices OF the city, elective
by the council, still, out of my warm feel
ing and personal friendship tor Captain
Waters, sent a communication to the
council in his behalf, at the risk of incur
ring the enmity of those who were oppos-
ed to his reelection. 1 publish this COM
munication which speaks for itself
StauntOn, Va, July LIST, 1901.
To the honorable body of cOuncilmen for
the city of Staunton
With reference to Captain Waters candi-
cacy for reelection to the Office OF chief of
police for the city of Staunton, desire to
say, that during my term of nearly five
years as police justice, l have always
Gus gentleman, obediedt to my instructions,
faithful in the discharge of his duties and
universally kind and considerate to strang-
ers within our midst.
Although the captain is somewhat ad-
vanced in years, regard him as active as
many men fifteen or twenty years his
Junior, and think that he is no less inter-
ested in the affairs of the city, nor less ac-
tive and efficient than he was five years
ago when first became closely associated
with him in police work.
Very Obediently yours,
w. H. LANDEs, Mayor.
In justice to Captain Waters, I would
further state that he has, within the past
few days, assured me of his esteem for ME
as his personal friend and of his high ap-
probation of my action in his behalf last
year before the city council.
Very respectfully,
may 9-tde w. H. LANDEs.
