SCHOOL. by far the largest in
Washington, can look back
upon forty years OF life. 1t was or
ganized January %. 1853. with a mem
bership of about forty.
Nine mouths previous to this, on April
"a 1852. a few faithful Baptists, who
wanted a Sunday school home for their
children, organized the Calvary Mission
school. Calvary Church was not or
ganized until the following June. The
mission was an afternoon school. and
the first few sessions were held in
Franklin Hall, on the corner of Ninth
and D Streets northwest. The hall was
not well fitted for the purpose, however.
and in May, 1882, the little school
moved into what was then known as
Temperance Hall, on E Street, between
Ninth and Tenth.
This room was we'll adapted TO the
needs of the school, and its sessions
were held here until late in the fall of
the year. On November u, 1862, a
resolution was adopted which provided
that the sessions of the school be held
in the Columbian Law School Building
in Fifth Street. between D and f north
west, then occupied by Calvary Baptist
Church. the school retaining its mission
organization.
Early School Officers.
D. c. Whitman was the first superin-
tendent of the mission, and David
Haynes the second. Mr.. Haynes was
afterward a teacher in Calvary school
and retained that position until hi,
death, about one year ago. Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Beard and Mr.. and Mrs
William Stickney became teachers II
the school in October. 1862. Mrs. Mar!
E. Evans, who is still a member o
Calvary school, was teacher in tn,
mission and later in Calvary. and witt
her family, rarely failed in attendance
With Mrs. Evans were Miss Rebeect
Burr and Miss Columbia Noyes, VIII
also served as teachers in the mission
and who are still members of tn
school.
While many things contributed to tn
wonderful success of the school, moth
ing was more effective in that direc
tion than the constant encouragement
given by the church itself. William
Stickney was elected and served as tn
first superintendent of Calvary Baptis
Sunday school, and Mrs. Stickney wa
the first teacher of the infant class. "
H. Hutehins was the first secretary. bu
the records fail to show who were tn
other officers.

IS CABBAGE DEADLY?
Alarming Reports Concerning the
 Vegetable and Worm.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
 Whether or not the cappage grower should be consumed with remorse more than other mortals has long been sub ject of interested speculation. In one way and another he probably contributes far more than one mans share to the general fund of humanity's mseries Think. for instance, of cabbage farmer who plants, as many of them do, five hundred acres of that obstreperous veg etable. Upon such an area. no less than one and one-half million heads of cab bage might be grown; and when boiled with the accustomed portions of corned beef one and one-half million heads of cabbage are susceptible of carrying men, tai gloom and physical distress into half the homes of a nation. Not until recently, however. has a crime more serious than the wholesale dissemination of indiges- tion been laid at the door of the cabbage. But dispatches sent out of Georgia during the last few days have stated that certain districts there are being fairly decimated by the cabbage-eating habit.
 Persons from White, Towns, Union, Dawson. Forsyth and other counties have reported fearful mortality from this cause. At first, it Is said, the deaths
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-11-29

were not understood. Then it was ob- served that all of them followed quickly upon the eating of cabbage. Then one farmer discovered. while. gathering a head of cabbage, a worm about two inches long and about the size of a needle" This fearsome insect was sent to the state chemist, who promptly re- ported that it contained enough poison to kill fifteen persons.
 The mystery was a mystery no longer. A further investigation developed the fact that vast numbers of the Georgia cabbages were infected with the poison laden reptiles, which, long as they were. were of such attenuated bodies that few housewives might be expected to detect their presence before serving them, no less than their vegetable habitat up to a hungry and unsuspecting family. Of course, it will be observed that these cabbages were Georgia cabbages, which may account for good deal.
 Charleston. it will be observed, Is one of the greatest cabbage markets in this country, and while we are not prepared tp pose as apologizers for cabbage as table food fairness compels the admis- sion that statistics might be readily col lected here to prove that it is not as deadly as the trans-Savannah folk are trying to make 1t appear

Vital and Militant.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Of course. if the American people like to have the material interests of the na- ton advanced by means of revolutions in other countries-by the moral support and official recognition of rebels who will pledge themselves to concede what their stupid government refuses to grant why, there can be no doubt that Pres- dent Roosevelt Is exactly the aggressive little man to undertake the job. He may be counted upon to refuse to let Colombia send troops to Panama-a policy which England might have adopted had she recognized the southern confederacy which she was urged to do. Whatever else the President may lack, it is not the spirit of vital and militant states manship;. but 1t is the excess of this spirit which conservative citizens regard as a source of danger. If Colombia ranked even as high as a third-rater among the worlds powers we should by now have a pretty war on our hands. A man whose precpitancy is so likely to involve us in foreign brawls is not the sort of man to be intrusted with the great responsibilities ef the presidential office.

Under the above heading Mr. W. H. Houghton of Birmingham mas written two articles for the Age-Herald so full of errors in regard to the battlefield Of Gettysburg and the manner in which the heroic deeds of the Confederates are be- ing commemorated on this field that l, as the Confederate member of the Get tysburg commission feel that 1t is my du- ty to correct some of them. It would weary your readers to rehearse and cor rect them all
 He says when the Confederates are dead and their grandchildren visit the { field, none will know where his ancestor fought. He can go a mile away and see where he started to charge and that is all" There is nothing to inform the visitor who broke the l1nes, who captured the guns, who scaled the rocks and heights" There is no way for a stran- ger to ascertain what particular Confed- crates fought at any point" The above and much more of similar purport runs through MT. Houghton's articles and con- veys the impression that the movements and achievements of the Confederates on this field are not commemorated but consigned to oblivion, while the Union forces all have their positions marked by monuments.
 A few words will suffice to show the Impartial reader the truth about this matter and the reason this battlefield is properly and wisely marked as 1t is.
 The Union forces fought the battle of Gettysburg on the defensive their line of battle being four miles long. Their monuments, being placed on the ground where each command formed for battle, mark of course the position where each fought Many of these positions are in- convenient of access and are seldom wis., ited except by old soldiers who belonged to the respective commands, although our commission has tried in the eonstruc- tion of avenues to make them as accessi- ble as we could.
 When the Confederates, whose battle line was over six miles long, curving around the Union position, the situation was quite different. They fought on the offensive, advancing to the attack over hills and hollows. rocks and ravines. and also cultivated fields, most of these both then and now owned by private citizens Nearly every Confederate command in the two or three days battle encounter ed the enemy and distinguished itself at more than one point of the great battle field. To mark with a monumental tah- let each and every separate spot where a Confederate command won fadeless lau- rels would not only be impractcable but could only result in endless confusion, besides the fact that their inaccessiblity would cause a great many of them to be overlooked and utterly neglected.
 These considerations led our commis-

characteristically explains that 1t was not the lack of sleep that troubled him, but the consequent state of his brain next morning. At other times he was afflicted with neuralgia attacks. His eyes, mag nifcent to look at, were never strong. The Life" however, supplies abundant proof of his possession of a vital force not to be measured by any physical standard. He could conquer weakness by indomitable will and indulge in feats of endurance which would have been dan gerous but for his splendid powers of re- cuperation. When greatly troubled he seems to have found the relief he re- quired in talking it all over with Cath erine," his devoted wife.

cIadstone,s Power of Sleeping.

Gladstone fables are rather numerous. A good many of them are demolished in Mir Morley's Life" The world used to hear that he never lost his power of sleeping after the most exciting nights in parliament But in his diary for 1852 he writes, Nervous excitement kept me wakeful after speaking the first time in twenty years" Twenty years later he had several spells of sleeplessness.

THAT CARD.

In the last issue of the Clinch Valley
News, lessrs. Z. b. Scott and Jas. w. Nc.
CURE, members of the board of registrars
for Maiden Spring District, publish card.
In that card they refer to what was said
in this paper aaout the conduct of W. P.
Payne as a member Of said board at it's
sessions at Richards precinct. Messrs.
Scott and Mcclure announce that
ave desire to cay in justice to Mr..
Payne that wewere the other two mem
bers of the board, and that we were in
full accord with Mr.. Payne in all that he
did and said during the sessions of said
board, and that each member of the
board, in dealing with both white and
colored, gave to the understanding clause
the most liberal construction which our
official oath would permit"
Messrs Scott and Mcclure do not deny
that the board continued to refuse to regis
ter honest white men because they could
not answer satisfactorily the questions put
to them at HIGHLANDS. They do, however,
deny that they receded from the extreme
position Of Mr.. Payne, stating thai, they
were in full accord with him in all thu bel
did and said during the sessions of said
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1903-10-29

board. Ifthat be so, why did Messrs
Scott and Mcclure pursue different pol
icy after w. P. Payne ceased to be mem
Der of the registration boardH
We have been told by one Of the most
reputable and worthy citizens of Tazewell
tat just before Payne was made a candi-
date for the House of Delegates that Mr..
Scott told him that Payne would be nomi
mated by the Democrats. And he told
hun further that if another certain gentle
mall was appointed registrar they inten-
ded to register every white man in Maiden
Spring District who was not an idiot. The
impression left on the mind of the gentle
man in question was, that with Payne off
the board more liberal policy would pre-
vail at the registration which was to follow.
The result was that way. The new regis
tration shows it. We are informed that
MIR. Mcclure had the same kind of talk.
We know that these gentlemen were much
more liberal in registering voters at the
late registration than they were last year.
If they now wish to stand before the
public as endorsing the well known ex-
IRENE views of w. P. Payne as registrar
they are welcome to do so. The people of
Maiden Spring District know how extreme
he was.
Messrs. Scott and Mcclure say that
they gave to the understanding" clause
"the most liberal construction which our
official oath would permit" When did
they take that official oath ? They were
not required to take an oath, and we have
never heard of registrar taking an official
oath under the new constitution.

The Race Issue In Maryland.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
A week or ten days ago the American
predicted that the preposterous race issue
raised by the Democrats upon the absolu-
tely false plea of NEGRO domination" in
Maryland was rapidly approaching disso-
luton. 1t was then being kept alive by
the Democratic candidates and stump
speakers only with the greatest difficulty,
liberal infusions of eloquence and drastic
injections of the most prejudiced appeals
to passion being required to cause it to
show even faint signs of life.
Today the race issue in Maryland is
dead-killedSRy the public's recognition Of
its innate abaIsdity and the absolutely
groundless pleas by which life was first in
fused into it.
