Correspondence of the Alexandria Gozette.l
Luray. Va, Nov. 27. 1902.


Our County Court has been trying the
case of George Riley for the murder { (
Noah Fox. his father-in-law, at Hope
Mills in Page county, on September 8
last for the last three days. The State
was represented by r. S. Parks, Com
monwealth's attorney, and the prisoner
by r. f. Leedy. The defense was one OF
justifable killing in self defense. The
iury was out only few minutes, and
rendered their verdict Of not guilty.
Riley is only 26 years old, his victim 5S.
Our new Jail built only six years ago by
the Manly Manufacturing Company is a
sorry investment for the S1l, 900 it cost.
1t is faulty, negligently built of bad
material and is sad failure, needing
constant and costly repairing.
Nota gallon Of apple brandy was made
this year. in Pagan Unprecedented state
of affairs in its history, and little, if any,
apple butter-the apple crop being Il
complete failure.

RURAL INGENUITY.
A Virginia Mountaineer's Odd So1u-
tion of Serious Domestic
Difficulty.

Every time l tell this story" a
bright society matron remarked,
according to the Detroit Free Press,
somebody accuses me of making it
up-but it is true story, neverthe-
less.
"Up in the Virginia mountains this
summer David and 1 took n long
walk to explore the wild country
road near our hotel. Way up on the
rough mountain side was little
cabin; and, as l have most fervent
all peoples remote from cities, i pro-
posed that we visit the cabin, with
the wayfarers' usual pretext-to ask
for drink of water. In the one room
of the small house were the usual
furnishings, few chairs, many dogs
lying about, guns on the wall, high
bed in each corner, and a homely
the center of the household picture.
a plain little woman, worn and aged,
but very neat in calico frock and
gingham apron, met us at the door
and asked us in, while one of the
rough boys lounging on the porch
was dispatched to the spring for
fresh water.
Instead of the usual mountain
eer's open fireplace, with iron crane
and kettles, was surprising arrange
ment of cooking stove mounted on a
kitchen table. My glance reverted to
this curious sight SO often that our
mountain hostess seemed constrained
to explain.
"'You-uns amt used ter seein' cook
stoves fixed up hathaway, l reck-
on she said, apologetically. Pap, he
got there cook stove down in town
way las May, and he didn' think
bout the stove pipe, an he didn' git
huff To reach up to that there hole
in tn chimbly, SO we-uns jes' histed
the cook stove up on that there table
till he gifts time t go t. town an git
some more stove pipe. T'ain't handy
t. climb up on a cheer t cook, an 1
wish t. tn land Pap'd hurry his-self
an git t. town arter that there stove
pipe. It'd be a heap handler t. hev
that there cook stove down on tn
groun'.
"Of course, 'we-uns' agreed with
the good woman, that her complaint
was well based; but we praised her
cleverness and originality in utilizing
the kitchen table. Probably not one
woman in 100000 would have ever
suggested that way out of the domes-
tic difficulty"

cHEERFULNEss AT TABLE.
Interchange of Entertaining
Conversation.

An old lady, who looked as though
she might have belonged to the "sun-
shine society" all her life, was asked
by friend the secret of her never
failing cheerfulness. Her answer con-
tains suggestive lesson for parents.
81 think" said the clever old lady,
'it is because we were taught in our
family to be cheerful at the table.
My father was lawyer with a large
criminal practice. His mind was
harassed with difficult problems all the
day long, yet he always came to the
table with a smile and pleasant
greeting for everyone, and exerted
himself to make the table-hour de-
lightful. All his powers to charm
were freely given to entertain his
family. Three times a day we felt this
genial influence, and the effect was
marvellous. If child came to the ta-
BILE with cross looks, he or she was
quietly sent away to find a good boy
or girl, for only such were allowed
to come within that loving circle. We
were taught that all petty grievances
and jealousies must be forgotten when
meal time came, and the habit of be-
ing cheerful three times a day, under
all circumstances, had its effect on
even the most sullen temper. Crate
full as l am for all the training re-
ceived in my childhood home, look
back upon the table influence as among
the best of my life"
Table manners are, of course, essen
tial, but the most important thing is
to make the meal an occasion for the
interchange of delightful and enter
tanning conversation. Let such gath
erings. fathers and mothers, make the
most happy hour of the day, and the
influence on the children may be be-
yond estimation.-N. Y. Weekly.

Travelling In West Africa.

The absence of horses and of other
beasts of burden, combined with the
density of the tropical jungles and
forests, renders locomotion, at all
events for Europeans, especially diff
cult on the west coast of Africa,
writes a correspondent. No roads
from the coast exist through the for
est and swamps; only narrow paths,
like sheepwalks, which the natives
traverse in single file.. 'We mount" !"
adds the correspondent, ION very
light trap, drawn by six negroes, and
accompanied by others. In this way
we traverse all the open country;
when this terminates we leave the
trap, ard are carried in hammocks.

and when the bush becomes too thick
for this method of transit we get out
and walk."-Golden Penny.

WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP.
Some Senses become Dormant Before
Others, That OF Seeing Being
the First.

When a man drops off to sleep his
body does not do so all at once. Some
senses become dormant before 9TH
ers, and always in the same order. As
he becomes drowsy the eyes close and
the sense of seeing is at rest.
1t is quickly followed by the sense
of taste. He next loses the sense of
smell, and then, after short interval,
the tympanum becomes insensible to
sound-or, rather, the nerves which
run to the brain from it fail to con-
vey any sense of hearing.
The last sense to leavei is that OF
touch, and in some representative peo-
pie it is hardly ever dormant. This
sense is also the first to return upon
awakening. Then hearing follows
suit; after that taste, and then the
eye becomes able to flash impressions
back to the brain.
The same gradual loss of power 10
observed in the muscles and sinews.
Slumber begins at the feet, and slow
ly spreads up the limbs and trunk un-
til it reaches the brain, when uncon-
sciousness is complete and the body
is at rest.-Chicago American.

forations which are covered by the
thin rubber. The seat and back of
the chair are filled with water when
the patien. sits in the contrivance, and
then hammer, which strikes rubber
disk, is set in motion. This hammer
starts vibratory waves in the water,
and these waves are communicated to
the body by means of the perforations
in the chair. Lillian Russell and Bern
hardt are using vibratory chairs, and
this means of acquiring strength with
out expending energy is becoming
quite n fad in New York. The vibra-
tory chairs cost from 5000 up, and con-
sequently will never become popular
among the majority of beauty seekers.

Registered Bulls in Dem n Il :.

The demand for registered bulls OF
the various beef breeds ought to re-
main good for years to come, says
Live Stock and Wool Growers Jour
nal. breeders of registered cattle
have it largely in their own hands
to maintain good prices, and this they
can do if they will make steers of
the medium to fair bull calves, al
though they are from good families,
and subject to registration. Moth
ing will hurt the registered bull so
much as selling inferior animals for
breeding purposes. No matter how
good the herd, there will necessarily
be some inferior animals, and breed
crs can i'll afford to sell such except
for slaughter. breeders should work
to create a permanent demand for
bulls, and this can only be accom-
plishcd by breeding animals whose
progeny will show up all right.

UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT.

In the United States District Court
to-day the case of the Frank Nee
land Machine Co. VS.. the johnson
Forge Co. was called. The plain
tiff was represented by Herbert H.
Ward and the defendant by Ben
jamin Nields. In opening he said
the action was for the recovery of
the contract price of goods sold by
the plaintiff to the defendant. Two
sets of machinery were manufac-
tured at Pittsburg. Two rolling
mills, 12 and inches respectively,
were delivered.
In September 1899 negotiations
We're opened between the parties.
Previous dealings took place be-
tween them. A contract was en-
sered into and the plaintiff was to
furnish the mills for $500 less
credit of 1887 for rolls from tho de-
fendant campany that went in to
make the new rolls.
In the plaintiffs works a strike
took place and a delay followed.
Information was withheld by the
defendant. The machines were
shipped on April 26, 1900 and it took
until May 10 for them to reach here.
The defendant claims that although
the contract was agreed to and the
mills We're in operation, portion of
their works was idle and that there
fore no damages should be claimed.
The rolls were made from plans fur
nished by the defendant.
Isaac w. Frank was the first
witness and in answer 10 Mr.. Ward
testified the company is engaged in
the manufacture OF rolling mill
machinery. He was president aud
general manager in September 1899
and the contract was made by cor
spondence. A portion of the II
inch mil had been delivered before
Septem ber 1899. A letter from the
defendant to the plaintiff stated
that more flies were caught with
molasses than vinegar and that
there was no money in lawsuits ex-
cept lcr the attorneys.
