DOUBTFUL STORY.

We shall have to have proof before
we credit the story of Jordan Thompson,
president Of the Negro Industrial ana
Agricultural Association, to the effect
that some white people and Democrats
are giving money to the fund which is
being raised to test the validity Of the
new Constitution.
There are very, very few Democrats
who are dissatisfied with the new Consti-
tuition, and none, we believe, SO disloyal
and foolish as to be willing to have it
upset by the Fedora! courts.
Jordan and his crowd have picked out
hard road for the colored people of Vir
ginia to travel and we hope they will
have no following.
If another convention We're to be held
a division of the public school fund upon
the basis of taxes paid by each race
would be well-nigh certain.

What u Creole Is.
(Washington Post.)


Il had some fun with a Virginia gen
sleman with whom l travelled on my. way
TO Washington" said DR.. ]. S. Stephens,
4 prominent physician of Natchitoches,
La, and member of the Louisiana State
Health Board, a the Arlington.
''He was pleasant companion, and
asked me a good many questions with
'eference to my part of the country. Fin
ally he said: I have always wanted to
know just exactly what a Creole is, and
IS you are from Louisiana, where I un-
lerstand they abound, you can give me
IN accurate explanation.
Certainly said 1 no man could in
form YOU better, for when YOU look at
ne. you behold q Creole y
THE gentleman was inclined to be en-
barrassed I thought, said he, that
hat-parlon me, butt always had an
dea that Creoles had a strain of negro
BLOOD but you are much farer than I
am, and I could swear to your Caucasian
stock
Then I told him, what every well-in-
formed person ought to know, that a
Creole is one who goes back to French
ancestry on his paternal or maternal side.
My maternal grandfather came from
France ana married a native Louisiana
ady. Hence, I am Creole, and so are
many thousands of the population of
Louisiana. Most Of us speak the French
ongue, and in the quaint old town I live
n, which is about as ancient as Philadel-
phia, large per cent. of the inhabitants
ak it as, well as they do English. The
mistake Of confusing a Creole with
mulatto or quadroon is not made down
our way, as it might lead to unpleasant
results"

WANT a CIGAR FACTORY.
Aiexandrians Form n Company to
Secure 1t.


ALEXANDRIA, VA, October 23-(Spe-
cial.)-About forty-five business men of
this city have organized a stock company
for the purpose Of inducing the American
Cigar Company to locate q plant in this
city. To-day a committee has been at
work among business men generally in
the interest Of the scheme. It was brought
before the Alexandria people by President
NJ. B. Harlow. Of the Business Mems
League, who had a conference with the
third vice-president Of the cigar company
Mr.. Harlow stated that he had been in
formed that the company had about
thirty plants,--and would employ thou
sand men if a place were established in
Alexandria. In letter to Mr.. Harlow
from the main Office in New York, 6
proposition was made to the effect thai
factory would be started here if the
people of the city would offer bonus
in the way of providing a building free
Of rent for two years. and with favorable
option for purchase of the same within
six years. More than $1,000 has already
been subscribed for the stock. with which
to meet the conditions of the cigar fac
tory company. and more is expected, as
he citizens seem to be taking a great in
terest in the matter, believing that i.
will prove a material benefit to the bust
ness interests of the city. 1t has been sug.
gested that the old cotton factory CT
north Washington street be purchased
as it will be sold under deed of trust
within the next month. The cigar com
pany has been notified of the action OF the
business men.

TELEPHONES.
DEFEATED:

The Common Council yesterday evening
refused to concur in the Minor resolution
from the Board Of Aldermen. So there will
be no investigation upon the part Of the
City Council with respect to the charges,
or insinua tons, made in the grand jury $
report.
In coming to that conclusion tie Com
mon CouaciImen so voting have made a
great mistake; one that will be hurtful
TO them and injurious to the fair name Of
he city, one hare: 10 understand or ex-
plain.
The Board of Aldermen. by a unanimous
vote, put themselves squarely on record as
being willing and anxious to have the
most intensely thorough investigation;
but the Common Council said no Their
plea was that the good name q the city
had suffered enough already To be sure
it has; but was there absolutely no hope
that an investigation not circumscribed
g''and jury would clear Richmond OF the
ilnputalions put upon it?
Better We say that the Minor resolu-
ton should have been adopted.
We 2ei;erate that yesterday evenings
action was a gross blunder and, We fear,
will turn out to be cruel blow to Rich
the last Of this thing.

sumption of operations in the anthracite

Of the United States who have been
paying exorbitant rates for fuel for months

before the strike was ordered; that was
s5.35 q ton for this city.
This is the statement made by some of
-hes,large retail dealers here, who, how
ever, say.it may be some weeks before a
figure approaching this price will be quot
ed. While it all depends. they say, on the
AMOUNT mine-owners will send out they
are reasonably sure that even by next
week there will be an appreciate reduc-
ton from s15. which is the prevailing rate
now. The day is not far distant, all

TUE ALABAMA,s FIGHT.
i Reviewer Brought to Task for
Saying Capt. sen,mes Broke
His Parole.
1,ondon Specta tor. September 20

|
Iondon Spectator, September I'D
| To the Editor of the Spectator:
Sir-Your invariable desire to do JUS
! tice, leads me to make a note In your re-
! view of Captain Winslows life (Spectator,
F.; August 2nd). although somewhat late, oW-
| ing to the time it takes for your valuaDie
paper to get here. Your reviewer says,
! in speaking of the sinking of the Alabama
by the Kearsarge: 1.-THE story of Captain
Semmess alleged breaking parole ana es-
Gaping to Southampton is not to the credit
of the Confederate officer" Nor would It
be If the story were at all true. But the
story is now given after thirty-seven
years, and even your reviewer may nave
forgotten the facts Of the case. However
there are three irreproachabIe and dis
interested witnesses to the fact that Cap
tain Senmes never gave his parole ana
never violated any law of honor. First,
Mr.. Lancaster, the owner of the yacht
Deerhound, which rescued the drowning
men from the water, when the kearsarSe
failed to send out her boats. He writes IN
dignantly to the Daily News, saying:
CAS- a IN ember of the Royal Yacht squad
ron, fail to see how or any of the Eng
fish gentlemen could fail to see drown
ing men; nor could I deliver them to
their enemy, for British ship is British
territory, and therefore neutral ground.
Then Captain Semmes, on his arrival in
London, was presented with a sword by
two clubs-the United Service Club, and
the Junior United Service Club-Admiral
Arson acting as their 1nouthpiece, saying
it was a testimonial to ''unfinchins pa
triotisn and naval daring" Is it conceiv-
able that these officers would join in doing
honor to a man who had broken his pa
role? Lastly, her N1ajestys government,
speaking through Lord John Russell, said:
The commander the private British
yacht Deerhound, in saving from drown
ing some of the officers and men of the
Ala bama, performed praiseworthy act
Of humanity, and Mr.. Lancaster was not
under obligation to deliver to the
captain Of the Kearsarge the officers and
men whom he had delivered from the
waves, and her Majesty's government
are, therefore, without any legal means
by which. even if they wished to do So
they could comply with your demand
The verdict of English gentlemen and
the English government must stand now
as we'll as it did thirty-seven years ago,
for of all nations England has been the
most careful of both personal and inter-
national honor.

The Story of raith1esx Husband.

(New Orleans Statesl
Greater comedies occur in actual life
than are ever seen on the dramatic stage
and 4 few days ago New Haven was the
scene of one of them. It appears that
Mrs. Harriet Fal!lner learned that her
husband was spending considerable time
and money on a fascinating widow and
she played the role of a detective She
Swallowed her husband and the widow
while they sat on a bench lin a park and
planned an elopement. The widow agreed
to be promptly at the meeting place, and
would wear a thick black veil and carry
bunch of white chrysanthemums In her
hand SO that she could be easily identi-
fed. From her place of concealm ent in
the shrubbery the wife heard all this but
did not rush out and claw the widow
as most women would have done. And
SO it came to pass that as the widow wait
ed a the specified railroad depot wearing
black veil and carrying bunch of
white chrysanthemums, she was APP
preached by another woman wearing
black veil, who said: 'The gentleman
you are to meet is waiting for you at the
lower station" Away went the widow,
and the wife. purchasing bunch of white
chry santhemums. took her place In a.
few moments the husband came along
and he beckoned to her and they took
train for Yalesvlle, but as the car was
crowded they did not sit together. Ar
irving at Yalesville, they walked up the
street to a hotel.
On the way the husband was very ten
dersto the widow by his side. He squeezed
her arm, called her his tootsey-wootsey
and declared that she was the only baby
IN the world for him. When they reached
the hotel hee begged for, Just one glance
at tho face. Of his. sweet little 5da Ring, He:
got it.. and. according to the statement
