gone to lIarrisonburg with some
friends to see the sights, and at the
depot when the train pulled in he
showed a decided inclination to
stampede and would have done So

County Bonds May Be Called In

At recent meeting of the Board
of Supervisors J. NJ. Colaw, Com
monwealth's Attorney, was direct
ed to prepare suitable act, for
passage by the State Legislature,
authorizing the Board of Supervi-
sors to retire the present bonds of
the county known as the "Righ-
land County Railroad Bonds" and
to issue in their stead bonds at a
lower rate of interest, if in the
Judgment Of the Board it shall
deem advisable.
Should this be carried through
it would result in saving the coun-
ty something like $3.50 a year,
which amount could be used quite
pdvantageously OH the public
roads.

wife's Letter Changed Hanna.

Strong and capable as Senator Mark
Hanna is supposed to be. he is some
times Influenced in public affairs by
his wife. A short time ago, Senator
Hanna was UP to his eyes in political
and business troubles. A dele
cation called upon him to
make an appeal for his assistance.
When the delegation entered the
Senator's office it was apparent he was
not in receptive mood, in fact, he
was what some persons might desig-
nate as ugly" The spokesman of
the delegation was not getting much
satisfaction and the other members of
the delegation were greatly discour-
aged as Senator Hanna was their last
resort. While the visitors were in the
depths of despair, a messenger brought
in bundle of letters and laid them
before the senator The latter excus-
ed himself for an instant while he
picked up the first letter from the pile
and opened 1t eagerly. A broad smile
swept over the senator's face and his
entire nature seemed TO undergo
sudde nchange. Then in a cheerful
voice, he said 10 his callers:
You must pardon me boys, but this
Is from Mrs. Hanna. and she starts off
with a "Hurrah for Panama."
He read the letter through and then
proceeded 20 give closer and more
friendly attention 20 the request OF
his visitors. When the delegation
withdrew they had a promise from
Senator Hanna that he would aid them
IN their project II n was in his power
10 % 20. That letter from Mrs. llama
and her congratulations upon his sue
cess % his hEhf for the Panama ca
nal caused him 90 unbsra and throw
The sunshine Qf hope into The ranks of

Soon to Replace Those of Enamel
and Metal.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Bath tubs of glass may be expected
to replace enamel and metal ones soon.
They are being made in Germany now
and are said to have many advantages
over metal and enamel, the principl
one being that they are much cheaper.
Besides bath tubs, tanks and watts such
as are used by brewers, distillers and
sugar refiners are being made of glass,
and the manufacturer is confident that
he can replace those for which clay,
wood, cement and metal are now COM
monty used, with superior articles con-
structed at a lower cost. Glass bath
tubs are not fragile. Those being made
now are five and six feet long about
two feet wide, and about two and one
half inches thick. They are made in a
solid piece, and one can be made COM
plete in about five minutes.
This is owing to a new process of
blowing glassware by means of COM
pressed air. The process was invented
in Pittsburg about twenty years ago,
but was limited to making bottles and
similar small-sized articles. Paul Ste
vert of Dresden has improved it, and
under his process there need be no
limit, within reason, to the size of the
article made. The method is simplicity
itself. The molten glass is taken from
the furnace and placed in a mold,
which can readily be swung to any de-
sired position. Compressed air is thus
admitted through flexible tube which
connects with the bottom by valves.
AS soon as the article is finished II is
switched into an annealing chamhei,
where 1t is again heated and then al
lowed to cool. This toughens It, and
after the process IL Is ready for use.
Plates Of large size are being made
of glass by an adaptation of the same
process. IN this case an ornamental. de-
sign is first made on a sheet OF peculiar
composition. which remains moist for
some time. Colored glass is spread over
this 20 work out the design. Then the
sheet is placed on the glass plate and
the whole Is heated IN the oven. The
heat consumes the sheet on which the
design was made. leaving only the
layer 81 c0lored glass. welded into the
plate Some remarkable and very pic
turesque effects are made in this way.

Does Not Favor Sugar Rebate
Plan.
MAY IGNORE THE HOUSE
II Lower Body Will Not Agree to Re-
ciprocal Treaty President Roosevelt
May Negotiate One With Palma Di-
rect-cuban Minister Sees President

Washington, June 16.-President
Palma has indicated to President
Roosevelt his conviction that the re-
bate proposition relative to Cuban SUI
gar would not only be very objection
able in itself but would be extensive
ly expensive and almost impossible to
carry out in distribution.
1t is not stated how this proposition
was communicated to the President,
but it is assumed Secretary Hay was
the medium, having been made ac.
quainted by Senor Quesada, the Cuban
minister, of Palma's opinion on this
subject, Should it become apparent
there is no possibility of an agree
ment between the senate and the
house upon the pending reciprocity
proposition, then the President prob
ably will endeavor to simplify the
problem by dropping the house out of
the calculation and negotiating a
treaty directly with Palma
This morning, Senor Quesada, the
new Cuban minister, was escorted to
the White House by Secretary Hay
and presented his credentials to the
President. The speeches exchanged
were exceedingly formal and conven.
tiOnal.

Not Responsible for Money
Paid to Gomez.
ROOT TAKES THE BLAME
Is Prepared to Furnish Congress Con-
vincing Proof That Payment of the
Sum Was Dictated by the Wisest
Craftsmanship.

Washington, June 16.-Secretary
Root has assumed full responsibility
for the payment of money to General
occupation of Cuba and if
congress asks for an explanation of
the matter, he stands prepared to fur
nish what he regards as most convinc-
ing proofs that the payments were die
tated by the wisest craftsmanship.
1t was charged by former cores
pondent for the Associated Press, who
was at one time in the employ Of that
news gathering agency, that General
Wood gave General Gomez $25,000 on
his demand that unless the money was
paid Gomez and those who favored his
candidacy for president Of the Cuban
republic, would institute guerilla
warfare and would split the political
and civil atmosphere of the island in
to bits. The correspondent says he
knows where to lay his hands on the
check with which Gomez was paid and
makes long statement concerning
the reason why the money was paid.
The fact that Secretary Root has as
sumed all responsibility for the pay
ment of the money divests, the former
correspondents charges of it's mys-
terry and full, frank detailed explain
alton of the matter will doubtless be
forthcoming.
Senate.
The senate today passed the London
dock charges bill. Senator Cullom ad-
dressed the senate in favor of the

The house today by unanimous con-

the Philippine civil government bill a
special order from June 19 to 26 inclu-

Gillett of Massachusetts, chairman
of the committee to reform the civil
service, from that committee reported
back resolution calling upon the sec
retary of war for his reasons for the
dismissal from her position in classi-
fed service of the war department of
Rebecca ]. Taylor. 1t was moved that
the resolution be laid on the table,
which carried 109 to "a.
