AHandsome Stone Finish.

The exterior of Mr.. G. E Lupton's
new residence on Franklin street is be-
ing finished with the Palmer building
blocks by William Larner, of Staun-
ton. It is the first use of this material
in Harrisonburg and its beauty is a
topic of general comment. The blocks
are made of Portland cement and sand
in variety of patterns, and when put
in place they defy an expert to distin-
guish them from handsome cut stone
The blocks are handsomer than brick.
They are said to be frost and fire proof,
and the cost scarcely exceeds that of
good brick. When completed the walls
OF MI. LuptOn g house will present very
much the appearance of the new county
court house. Rockingham Register.

ASKS THEM TO BE PATIENT

ASHINGTON, April ia letter
w from Attorney General Knox rel
" atiYe to the so-called beef trust
was made public today by Representa-
tive Ray OF New York, chairman Of
the house committee on judiciary. In
view Of the attorney generals letter
the judiciary committee decided with
out division to recommend that the
resolution Of Mr.. Thayer OF Afassachu-
sets. asking the attorney general what
steps he had taken against the beer
trust, lie on the Sble. The attorney
generals letter is given in Chairman
Rays report on the resolution.
The report quotes Mr.. Rays letter,
dated April IL, &c the attorney general,
in which the following questions are
asked.
"First-Has your attention been
called TO the matter alleged In house
resolution 205, a copy Of which IS an
nexed?
"second-Have you been requested TO
make any official action in the mat
ter2
''Third-Have you any evidence of
the existence Of such a combination:
The attorney general, in letter Of
the same date, answers the questions
as fGllOws:'
First-It has not. except so far as it
is a matter Of general notoriety.
Second-I have not.
Third-None that could be classed as
legal evidence.
Continuing. the attorney general
says:

any federal statute"
The report goes on to say:
1T is apparent from this correspond
ence that there IS no necessity for the
