NOVEL MAIL WAGON.
Rural Carrier in Flenr.co Goes into Winter
Quarters


The rural free mail delivery wagon,
which is the first to be put on in Virginia,
now operating in Tuckahoe District, is
a novel invention. 1t is the result of the
necessity, felt by ]. ". Vaughan, a rural
carrier, No. 2. for protection and shelter
during the severe winter weather.
It is a one-hoIsc coI;cern and
is specially adapted for the hand
ling of mail. On either side
is the inscription. Rural Free Delivery
U. S. Mail-Route No 9" One of the
most peculiar features is that which per
mits Mr. Vaughan to keep house in a
small way III the wagon. There is a
vistibule with sliding glass doors and
these latter when closed render the in
terror of the vehicle almost alright

occupants com Portable The relns are
handled through loop-holes in the vesti-
buIe. Hitherto Mr.. Vaughan has Travelled
over his route in buggy, but during the
recent severe weather the cola country
air nipped his feet and ears, and he was
forced to adopt some other arrangement
hence the wagon. Now nc can prop
himself in corner of his new wagon and
smoke his pipe in utter Indifference to
the condition of the wea thcr on the out
side. Cold and snow have no more ter
rors for nim.
The route traversed by Mr.. Vaughan
extends for 26 IL miles. He goes up
Cary Street Road to Ridge Church, Their
to Lawrences Store and then back to the
post-otEice. He delivers mail to about
500 people,

Almost everybody: digestion is disor-
dered more or less. and the conlnones+

they need only a little help and they
will right themselves. Cathartics irri-
tate the sensitive Innings OF the stom-
ach and bowels and often DO more harm
than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condi-
ton to be readily digested and assimi-
lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this
perfectly. They partly digest what is
eaten and give the stomach just the help
it needs. They stimulate the secretion
and excretion of the digestive fluids and
relieve the congesteG condition of the
glands and membranes. They put the
whole digestive system in condition TO
do its work. When that is done you
need take no more tablets, unless you ca,
what does net agree with you. Then
take one or two tablets-give them need
ed help and you will have no trouble.

had not heard about it. According to the

Mr.. Wells could not be seen yesterday
but Treasurer Mckee said:
Il don't know IL thing in the world
about new theatre here. And l don't

this morning of the alleged plans was
surprise TO US. Our house, for the

Further it was stated that something

lately and the idea OF the management
was that this would amply accommodate
the crowds for q year or SO TO come.

the newspapers were praying God for.
the time to come when it would go home.
Mr.. O'FiahertY: Where would be the
economy of having to wait for four years
to repeal a $4,000 pension law?
Mr. Parks: | would have a. special
session of the Legislature called to re-
peal it.
Mr. OrFIaherty: Where is the economy,
then. of the quadrennial session you are
Dragging about.
There were motions to pass by the
motion to reconsider, and the discussion
opened up again.
AGAINST RECONSlDERING.
Mr. Glass made an earnest speech
against recon>idering the vote. He said
If the convention adopted the quadren-
NAL session, it sealed the doom of the
new Constitution. In order to save the
paltry sum of $1,000 the advocates OF
quadrennal sessions would permit the
treasury to be raided for s1,20000o every
four wears, in the shape of pensions.
He said it was impossible for him to
discuss the question in temperate Ian
guage The prospect of locking the doors
of the Capitol TO the people was so
fraught with evil and calamity he would
say no more for fear he would say too
much
Mr.. Carter claimed that che proposition
for quadrennial sessions Gid not prevent
the Legislature from meeting in extra ses-
sion whenever public necessities demand
ed It,
Mr.. Thorn declared that the proposition
for Qua0rennial sessions and elections was
q direct blow at representative govern
ment. He said it was a great mistake tor
members to suppose that this convention
was more representative of the people
than the Legislature. The contrary was
true. Quadrennial sessions meant the N
carnation of a principle that had oeen
two fragrant in this convention. criticism
and distrust of the General Assembly. =
vote for quadrennial sessions meant de-
fiance of the rights Of the people. ana
would be throwing down the gauntlet to
them.
TOOK NO INTEREST.
Judge Robertson said he had as much
confidence in the General Assembly as
he lad in this convention. Great laush-
teri He contended that the people did
not take any interest in this matter, ana
if candidates did not so around ana Wor-
nv them to get elected to the Legislature

The hour of o'clock arriving, discus
sion on the motion to reconsider was sus-
pended.
RECALLS HIS VOTE.
Mr. Withers sad he desiret' to explain,
that on account of a misapprehenslon on
his part in questioning authority for
pair of Judge Green in favor Of the
University appropriation, Mr. Thorn had
withdrawn the pair and voted no he
was opposed to the appropriation, out
since being assured by Il telegram from
Judge Green just received by Mr. Lind

make this public explanation out OIL

Mr.. Thorn explained that he had voted
No in consequence of the pair BENG
withdrawn. Since that time q telegram
ha6 been received from Judge Green,
holding him to the pair and he wished
to recall his vote. This changed the re-
suit of the Boaz-Glass appropriation

NAL Sessions.

II the advocates of the hoid-ovcr Sen
ate would agree to give up that feature
OF the present General Assembly, tie
quadrennial session and election fight
would be settled in five minutes by pro
Vldins for an election of q new Senate
and House of Delegates every two years.
People on the outside, and many on tbs
inside, think the fight is over econom,.
and infrequency of elections. The fac
is, and it is high time it was being told.
the real object of the whole movement
is to abolish the present system of an
hereditary Senate. If this can only be &C.
compiished by quadrennial elections, then
the responsibility. for good or evil. Will
rest upon those who had rather lose all
than this feature
Mr. Ttom stated yesterday that rather
than have quadrennial e.ections he would
be wiling to give up the hold-over SEN
ate feature.
But it would seem, from the position
taken by Mr.. Flood on the floor of the
convention, that the great fight he is
reading is for a hold-over Senate for he
proposes to provide for the election OF
half the Senators as now. under the four
years election clause, thus giving Sena-
tors eight-year terms.
The real objection to the uuadrenniai
election plan would seem to be the de-
struction Of the hold-over Senate, other
wise tie adoption Of n clause for bien-
NAL sessions would have given satistac-
ton.
1t is on the quadrennial election that
the fight hinges, and will be renewed in
spite Of the vote yesterday. II the hold
over Senate is engrafted on the quad
rennial plan, the quadrenniallsts Will DC
made sick unto death. On the onher hand
if the two-year sessions and the four
year election feature wins, the hold-ovel
Senate advocates will care but little for
those features in themselves.
Big stakes are being played and the
game is splendidly conducted 1t IS a
most interesting contest, with many
amusing side features, and some that are
pathetic, but the run OF it all IS mat
some of the players have honestly con-
yinceG themselves by constant reiteratlon
