From Charlottesville.

CHARLoTrEsvHLE, VA, Sept. 80, '02.
Last Friday night was the time ap-
pointed for our people to turn out aGd
to greet the Rev. DR.. w. F. Graham.
but to the regret of his many friends in
this city, the weather was so very bad
that only few could turn out. Those
who heard the Doctor tell of his work
IN the many cities where he had been
were well paid for their going to hear
hlm. But is seemed to us that the big
rain OF Friday only settled the dust of
our streets so that the Doctor could
move up and down the streets In the
beautiful sunshine on Saturday. It
made Us feel proud for DIR. Graham as
we have heard it said that all of Rich
mond went wild over The American
Beneficial Insurance 90. The Doctor
had with him Rev A. b. Coleman, Mr..
Howard and Mr.. Coles, who were help
ing him to fit up the new office ON west
Main street. After he had gotten every
thing ready for business, he left the city
at 1905 o'clock for Richmond, where he
would be with his church ON Sunday.

railroads and large manufacturing es-
tabiishments now refuse to hire man
over As years of age and that me chan

are too old. Machinists, carpenters
and men in all trades testified that a
similar age limit was being enforced by
various classes of employers. Robust
men in the prime of life told of the sub
terfuges they were compelled to resort
to in securing employment if a few gray

of instances where the best mechanics

is MAKING A
LONG JOURNEY
Claude Taylor Is Only Six
Years Old.
"GOIN6 TO SEE MAMMA"
He Is Travelling From Alton,
ILL.,, to Galveston, Tex.
"GOING TO SEE MAMMA"

Little brown-eyed, curly haired Claude
the Santa Fe depot for some time yester-
day afternoon. He was a bright and
neatly dressed little fellow, and although
only years old, had travelled all the way
from Alton, Illinois, alone. and his jour
ney was not half completed A tag on
his clothing showed that he had been
sent from Alton, H., by John Taylor to
Mrs j. Taylor, in Galveston. Texas
The little fellow came in on the Frisco
yesterday afternoon and after being LETT
in the depot, he crawled up into seat
in the corner and was very quiet until
a lady. who was waiting for her train,
sat down beside him and patted his curly
little head. Then his loving little spirit
overcame his shyness and he opened his
childish heart TO the lady passenger. Tell
ing her all his little secrets In a short
time an interested crowd had gathered
around the little traveller but the ice
had been broken and he did not stop his
childish prattle. He told all about him
self, his toys. and everything he had ever
seen.
Someone asked him where he was going
Without hesitation, he said: Il am going
to see mamma " When asked where his
mamma was he recalled in childish sim
plicity. She's way off on the train
From the tag on his person and the lit
tie Information that could be gathered
from the baby talk, il appears that his
father and mother have separated and
that the child was being sent to the
mother in Galveston. While he was jab-
bering away, he said: Il am going 10 be
mammals Christmas present. which
would make it appear that his mother
expected him Christmas day. Trains have
been running behind time for several days
and that probably accounts for the delay.
The train that would take him to Cal
weston did not leave until late yester-
day evening and the little traveller will
not reach his destination until today.
If the mother expected him on Christ
mas day. and is mamma worthy of such
d boy, she must have spent some long
weary hours waiting and wondering what
could have happened to her little curly
haired baby.
A few years ago it would not have been
safe to send a child on such a long jour
ney alone. but child placed in the care
of railroad now is just Us safe
as any other passenger. The child is
placed in charge of the conductor who
cares for him TO the end of his run, then
the child is turned over to the next con-
ductor. When a change of cars is made,
the little passenger is placed in charge
of the station master.
