TEUTONS IN FRANCE,
Parts of tho Republic Arc as Much
German as the ,Fatherland.

Parts of tho Republic Arc as Much
German as the Fatherland.
The northern third of France and
half Of Belgium are today more Teu-
tonic than the south OF Germany. This
should not occasion surprise when we
remember the incessant downpour of
Teutonic tribes during the whole his
toric period. It was a constant pro-
cession Of Goths-from all points of
the compass-Franks, Burgundians,
and others. France was entirely over
run by the Franks. with the exception
of Brittany, by the middle Of the sixth
century, says the London Express. All
through the middle ages this part of
France was German in language and
customs as we'll. The very name Of
the country is Teutonic. It has the
same origin as Franconia in Southern
Germany. In 812 the council of Tours,
away down south, ordained that every
bishop should preach both in the Ro-
nance and the Teutonic languages.
The Franks preserved their German
speech 400 years after the conquest.
Charlemagne was German. His cour-
tiers were all Germans. He lived and
governed from outside the limits Of
modern France. The Able sieyes ut
tered an chronological trulsm when, in
the course of the French revolution,
he cried out against the French aris-
tocracy: LET US send them back to
their German marshes whence they
came"

WON HIS WAY.
Rear Admiral AssersOn, U. S. n, Z
Native of Norway.

Rear Admiral Asserson, U. S. n,
Native of Norway.
OF the many Norsemen in the United
States navy, but one, so far as known,
has reached the rank of admiral this
being Rear Admiral Peter Christian
Asserson, now on the retired list. He
was born on the Nlidbrod estate, Eye
roen, Norway, in 1871, and went to sea
as a boy of eighteen. After his first
voyage he enlisted in the United States
navy. During the Civil war he distin-
guished himself on many occasions by
his ability, bravery and good conduct,
and was entrusted with smaller COM
mands. At the close of the war he was
appointed to Annapolis, where he paid
particular affection to naval con-
struction. When he retired he was
chief engineer at the Brooklyn navy
yard, with the rank of rear admiral.
Admiral Asserson visited Norway in
1880 to see his old mother, who died
scme years ago, at the advanced age of
102 years. Two of the admirars sons
are now serving in Uncle Sans navy.

ACCOMAC COUNTY
TO FIGHT COAL TRUST.
Wood VIII Be Used in All Public
Schools In Three Districts.

ONANCOCK, VA, September T.-(Spe-
cial )-There is a coal famine in this
county. The only firm in the county hav-
ing coal on hand is that Of Hopkins &
Company, at Onancock. These gentlemen
have taken care of all their old customers
at very small advance on last years
prices. They have for years been sup
plying the public schools of Lee and
Onancock districts, and have already
provided these and the Fauquier Island
school with coal.
Pungoteaque, Metamphin and Atlantic
districts, representing more than one
hundred schools, were in the coal famine
territory. These District School Boards
met the situation promptly. Superintend-
ent G. G. Joynes returned from the last
of these districts tonight and reports all
the schools in Accomac county duly pre-
pared for as to fuel, for the coming ses-
sions.
All coal stoves in these district schools
have been set aside Snd wood heaters put
in. The cost of these heaters and the
cost of the wood to each district, as per
contracts, is not expected to exceed the
coal bill in each district as paid last
year.
Superintendent Joynes says if this ex-
pertinent Of burning wood in the schools
proves satisfactory, that at least one
fourth Of the county coal bill can be
saved. The county coal bill last year
was s2,436.04; this means a saving to the
Accomac district funds of s6O6 per year.

Believed That Samuel Merth Was
Carried Away on the Venitu.
HAMPTON, VA, September 27.-(Spe-
cial.)-The friends of Samuel Merth, the
young tailor who has been missing since
September I'd, now believe that he was
shanghaied by the officers of the German
ship Venita, which recently sailed from
Newport News after undergoing repairs
at the shipyard in that city. It is now
learned that Merth deserted from the Ger
man navy three months before he came
to Hampton and accepted a position in
the tailoring establishment Of local con-
Germ When the Venita came to Newport
News. Merth became quite intimate with
the sailors on the vessel, and it is now
thought he became confidential, and pos
sibly told some of the sailors of his de-
sertion. The men then very likely en-
ticed N1erth to go aboard the Venita.
where he was placed in chains and pro-
badly taken back to Germany. The fact
that he disappeared on the same day
that the Venita sailed has given color
to the theory that he was possibly taken
back to Germany.
Merth told some of his associates in
Hampton of his desertion. and informa-
ton received to-day brought out the an
nouncement that he had probably been
shanghaied on the Venita. He was only
% years old.

the General University Almuni Associa-

his interview in the Dispatch of the 18th

discussion. These letters, he says, are
not only from Virginia Gncluding Rich

Judge Sener says that the statement
that the Board of Visitors will meet at
the University on the I'd of October is a
mistake. The rector. Hon. c. P. Jones.
Of Monterey. Va, calls these meetings,
and Judge Sener is in receipt Of two
letters from Rector Jones indicating that
no meeting will be held probably earlier
than the week beginning October 18th,
but most probably in that week.
Judge Sener says that the interview of
Mr.. Daniel Harmon, the Charlottesville

purpose to disturb DR.. Barrlnger as
Chairman of the Faculty for this session.

Republican: w. E. Dysart, cat
 tie buyer for the Cudahy Packing company of Los Angeles, was a
 visitor at Tempe yesterday. He
 purchased and shipped eight cars
 of cattle from Phoenix. From here
 he goes to Mexico. He states that
 Mexico is an ideal cattle country and there are the largest cattle ranches to be found in the world. One ranch comprises over a million acres and is owned by a wealthy Mexican, This vast tract upon which are pastnred many thou sand of cattle, is divided into smaller ranches, fifty and 100 miles square each, called hacien- das. An overseer has charge of three of these haciendas and each hacienda is under the direct charge of manager, who is subject to the ] orders of the overseer Many men are employed upon each ranch and ! are very efficient, for they have been born and brought up in the cattle business. MT. Dysart pur- chased in the neighborhood of 2,500 | head of fine fat steers from one of these haciendas.
