While much has been done toward
improving curing rooms, the number
that still remain in poor conditions
is sufficient to cause much loss in
both quality and weight in the general
output everywhere. Dairy World says
1t has been found that cheese cured in
room where the temperature could
not be regulated lost from one-half to
cent per pound in value besides Sc
rious shrinkage in weight.
So great has been the loss generally
during the last few years from poor
curing rooms that We're all factories
put in proper condition enough would
be saved in one year to cover the entire
expense involved. This has been am
ply demonstrated by experiments con-
Quoted by Professor Dean at the On
tario Agricultural college, Mr.. J. A.
Ruddick at Ottawa and also at the
Geneva IN. W experiment station. By
each Of the above officials and instituJ
tons it was found that temperature
higher than 65 degrees is injurious to
cheese in the curing stage.
CheesemakfnE For Profit.
Good cheese will always bring good
prices, said a speaker at the meeting
Of the Wisconsin Cheesemakers' asso-
citation. He regretted, however, that
there is not thoroughly equipped
cheese factory in the state. John
kirkpatrick said that the market
wanted cheese of high quality and
one that could always be depended
upon. Matthias Michels said that it
was common error to presume that
the kind Of feed cows ate affected the
quality of the milk. H NJ Scott advo-
Gated the. coming together of cheese
makers for the purpose of comparing
their products and profiting by each
others experience.

LETTER FROM PAGE COUNTY.


Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
Luray, Va, July "a bolt of light
ming from a cloudless sky struck tie
cupola on the Female College, opposite
the Court House in Luray, on Last Sun
day evening about seven o'clock and
started fire. The fremen were quickly
on hand, and the fire was extinguished
in a few minutes. This is the first call
on our new water system, and the ease
and activity with which it can be oper-
ated demonstrates that Luray is fortu-
nate so far as fires are concerned.
The same evening, 10 out of lot of
81 steers belonging to J. L. Long, were
killed by stroke of lightning on the
Blue Ridge, east of Macksville, The
cattle were together under a gum tree
when killed.
Both of our Female Colleges are now
permanently closed, so far as known at
this time.

Westmoreland Assault Case.

Exaggerated reports having reached
this city as to the recent assault case in
Westmoreland county, City Sergeant
Cox has inquired into the affair and this
morning received letter from an author
itative source. Itseems that John Lomax,
or Homer as he is known here, attempt
ed the assault on Miss Costenbader, but
failed to accomplish his purpose as he
was frightened and fled and the young
lady fortunately escaped serious injury.
The reports Of lynching parties coming
here to secure thenegro were unfounded,
and the citizens of Westmoreland do not
apprehend any acts of violence against
Homer when he will be placed on trial.

Man Struck by Lightning.

There was brilliant fash of lightning
about ten o'clock last night, followed by
q crash of thunder, which startled many
and caused the belief that something
had been struck. The surmises were
correct as the electric fluid had entered
the rear portion of a small frame house
occupied by a colored man named
George Derrick on Princess street, be-
tween Royal and Pitt, tore the skin and
clothing from his left side and Knocked
his wife down. Derrick was at the foot
of a stairway at the time and was in the
act of drinking water preparatory to re-
firing when the bolt entered the house
1t descended the steps and ran down
Derrick's left side, peeling off the SKIN
in its course and burning the under
clothing but, strange to say, in no wise
iniuring his outer garments. As stated
above. his wife was Frustrated by the
holt bat she soon revived. Neighbors
entered the house and medical aid was
summoned, but an examination showed
that apart from being severely burned
Derrick had not been seriously injured.
There are but few instances on record OF
persons having been killed by Lightning
in Alexandria and the cases where bolt
have struck buildings are comparatively
few. There have been two fatalities
from the electric fluid iii this city dur
ing the past sixty years, and both oc
Cured on the river front In both IN
stances they were colored men who wer'

Police Court.

The time of the Police Court this
morning was taken up in analyzing fric-
tons between negro litigdnts. The pro-
ceedings were witnessed by fourteen
colored women, half a dozen white men
and sprinkling of boys. The testi-
mony was circulating under summer
temperature and consisted mostly OF
accusations of slurring on the part Of the
contestants. The Mayor, very properly
in most cases, fined both the plaintiffs
and defendants. The negro seems to
have an Unborn love for the Police
Court, and every opportunity of appear
ing before that tribunal is utilized.
