Adjournment of the State Con.
ventiOn.

The Virginia Constitutional
Convention, after being in session
over 10 months, Friday afternoon
practically completed it's work and
took recess until May %. The
object of this recess is to afford
the members of the convention an
opportunity to test public feeling
on the question of proclaiming the
new Constitution just completed.
1t is regarded as certain it will be
proclaimed.
The new Constitution makes
many and radical changes in the
present organic law of the State.
The most important article,
probably, is that on suffrage.
This revolutionizes political
methods in Virginia and to o large
extent removes the negro as a
disturbing factor. The conven-
ton voted on the suffrage Friday
afternoon and adopted it by avote
of SO to II.
An important feature of the
days session was the resembling
of the article abolishing hold-over
Senators. A compromise was
adopted which provides for the
election of Senators for four years
and the members of the House of
Delegates for two, the entire men,
bership of the Senate to be elected
every four years, thus doing away
with the hold-Over feature. This
compromise plan, however, gives
the Senator a term double that
of a Delegate and enables cor
porations to accomplish the defeat
of Objectionable measures just as
they have in the past.
The convention by very decided
vote refused to rescind the sections
providing for the election ofSecre-
tary of the Commonwealth and
State Treasurer by the people.
The body also, after considerable
fight, refused to rescind the article
providing for reduction of State
taxes from 40 cents to 30 cents on
the 800.
The work of the convention is
generally approved. Some of the
ablest men in the State say that
the new Constitution will be one
of the best offered the people of
Virginia tor many years.
In brief, the following are the
salient features Of the suffrage plan
adopted:
No man can vote unless he
registers after the plan goes into
effect. Up to January l, 1904,
those can register who have paid
for the year before registry a

A NEW SERMON.

| come to preach on the text of love
From the gospel of brotherhood;
To help if | may in finding the way
That leads to the higher good;
To picture the light that is shining
bright
on the Futures upturned face;
And to whisper a hope whose breath
and scope
Is as wide as the human race.
It is this: The hour is almost here
When the races shall rise as one
And shall all join hands from the thou
sand lands
That are kissed by a common sun;
When the lannon's roar shall be heard
10 more
And the war flags shall be furled;
When the lily white banner of peace
shall float
Ger a union of all the world.
For God is weary of war and hate
And the time has come at last
For the race to wake and the chains
to break
That bind it unto the past;
To list to the Christ that died for men,
And to hearken unto the call
OF the voice of the common divinity
That stirs in the hearts of all.
Across the morn Of the century,
In visions | turn my gaze
To the heights sublime that the ace
shall climb
To better and grander days.
AS earth whirls on from dawn till
dawn
Through the seasons that are to be,
There is some sweet day that is on its
way
When the whole world shall be free.
There are glimpses of glory in Para
disc.
But they all are not so bright
AS our own dear earth will be, il we
Can open the reign of right;
If we as brothers will love each other
And work as best we can
In the glorious labor of lifting our
%neighbor
And helping u fellow man.

Uncle sam RAISING Sponues.

The United States is engaged in ex-
periments intended to foster and devel
OPP the sponge growing industry in this
country.
The only sponge state in America is
Florida. off the coast of which lie the
great sponge banks. OF late they have
not been yielding the quantity desired,
so the United States fish commission
has set out to plant sponges in Florida
Keys.
AS yet their efforts have not been
rewarded with any great degree OF
success. The sponges which they plant
refuse for some reason to grow. but
the scientists in the government EN-
ploy refuse to give up. The United
States fish commission ship Fish
Hawk is still cruising around Florida
waters, and the sponge scientists keer
right on planting sponges. BY expert
menst which they are now conducting
they intend to demonstrate at what
depth a sponge a grow, and they in.
tend to explode the old theory that al
ty feet is the limit.-Philadelphia

the White Sands. and It is thought
that perhaps these are due indirectly
to some volcanic action.
The crater is bell shaped, about
800 feet across the top. and no one
knows how deep. The lava beds are
full of wild animals; but no water is
found anywhere in them. though wells
have been sunk as far as 200 feet.
Every night hocks of ducks come
to this crater and go down in it and
come up at sunrise. | have often
thought that perhaps they get water
there. The beds would be a splendid
range if there was only water. There
is considerable iron ore in the lava
beds. too"

Hampshire legislator from voting for
statehood. There is not a thing in
them.
1t is true enough that New Mex
leo has more extinct craters thar any
state or territory in the union. Up
near White Oaks we have got the
largest crater in the United States.
1t is in the valley of the Gran Out
vera, fourteen miles from town, and
about rs miles from Eel Paso. OF
course no one knows when it was last
in eruption. The funny thing about
this crater is that it is in a valley
and not on a mountain peak as most
people suppose craters are.
Indications are that the earth sud
denly opened and threw out a mass
OF molten lava which ran down the
valley seventy-fYe miles, and spread
ing out on an average of about four
miles. A pretty thrifty people must
have lived in the valley then; because
excavations have disclosed timbers
carved and mounted in a wonderful
fashion. People have supposed that
they We're an offshoot of the Aztecs.

q young army officer. He was perhaps
under rather than over the rather dl-

Yes, of COURSE you are afraid to
go home alone"
Then she stood and faced him until
