.RlCHMOND'S NEW
COUNCILMEN

Owing to the recent resignation OF
members OF the Common Council. there
are two new members of that body. and
they are both enterprislng young business
men, who promise to measure up we'll as
city legislators.
The first vacancy filled was that In
Lee Ward. occasioned by the resigna ton
Of Mr.. Charles r. Winston, whose pri-
vate engagements were such as to inter-
fere with his councilnanic duties and
he was succeeded by Mr., Claude l.. Bat
kins. Mr.. Batl<ins Is a young man of
about thirty. years of age, and Is well
known In business circles, being quite a
thrifty contracting plasterer on his own
account.
MI Batkins was recently elected to the
City Democratic Committee from Lee
Ward. and will resign that position in a
short while. He Is son Of Mr.. B. NJ.
Bauslns. the we'll known contractor. and
brother of DR.. l.. B. Batkins, of the
West End Mr.. Batkins is popular to
has behind him a record OF faithful party
service In the ranks. IIe Is an officer in
the Lee Democratic and Social Club, and
takes a lively interest in local political
affairs. Mr.. Batllins gives every promise
OF making q faithful and intelligent
Councilman, and will doubtless stand for
re- election next year.
The other new Councilman Is Mr..
Charles w. Spicer, who was recently
chosen to succeed General A. L. Phillips.
Of Clay Ward. Mr., spicer is a prom-
nent young tobacconlst and Is native
OF the city OF Petersburg, though he has
lived here for some years. He Is about
the age OF Mr.. Batkins. and Is popular
among wide circle. both In a business
and social way.
Mr.. Spicer's popularity was evidenced
the other night by tho fact that he was
chosen to succeed General Phillips In the
face Of the unanimous recommendation
Of the ward delegation In favor Of an
other gentleman.
Both these young men stand well in the
Council and In the business world. and
will doubtless serve their people faith
fully.

youth. They are anxious to secure homes
of their own, and thus keep them from
worrying about the future.
The pleasurable excitement OF receiving
congratulations and fussing over tros-
seau causes number OF girls to become
engaged. They have not a thought nor
care OF the responsibilities OF married
life. Hard facts and stern realities soon
present themselves, however, and cause
bitter awakening.
People who wed under these condi-
lions have not studied each other. and
know practically nothing OF their re-
specttve tastes, desires. characteristics or
ideals. When they are dsillusloned. the
feeling Of surprise is quickly followed by
disgust. Finally mere tolerance of each
other ensues. and gradually they get to
regard their ties with cant be cured
must be endured sort OF feeling.
But the greatest error Is made by per-
sons who marry with naught but pas
sion for foundation, and this Is surely
q short-lived paradise!
Passion Is often mistaken for love. but
Is no moro akin than the cheap trashy
novels of to-day are Ike the classic
masterpieces OF old, The former are
sought after excite the senses and give
pleasure for the time being, but interest
In them soon dies out. Tho latter are al
ways JOY and comfort, and live In the
heart and mind while life lasts
Passion Is like parlor match. When
struck 1t blazes up quickly and furiously,
but soon the fame dies out and nothing
but ashes are left.
Marriages inspired by passion mistaken
for love- are the most unhappy ones and
result In q volcanic sort of eX!stence'
Gradually contempt and often hatred are
introduced, and as the years roll on. and
passion has died natural death. the hus-
band and wife grow farther apart until
final separation takes place or there
are reasons for the divorce court to be
lesorted to,
The old man usually marries on this
principle, and the greater tho disparity
of years between himself and his VIC
tim the greater 1t Is to his liking, Youth
has potent charm for HIM. and he Is
willing to 20 to all extremes In order TO
obtain it. Sometimes force but more ofte1l
strategy is the resort, and the young
girl, blinded by his Kindness and fatherly
interest, readily falls into the snares m
stltuted by his base desires,
The girl who listens to the passionate
pleadings of her lover and believes IN

fcing and In Its sweet serenity endureth

A true love match Is a scarcity In these
days, and does ones heart and soul good
to witness. It's influence is felt far and
near, and wherever found illumincs the
earth like bright ray OF sunshine.

Correspondent Sends in an
Account of a Sud
den Bath.

One day last week an old man, car
rylng a pail. accosted a university stu
dent talking to a coed near the
cottage.
"Will you please direct me to the
pump" he asked. I'VE have no
pump around here" said the student.
IF you want any drinking swater
take it from the ditch or pond over
there
The old man turned away, but an
other coed. who 3had overheard the
conversation. attempted to stop him.
She was upbraided for her pains by
the brainless coxcomb, and the poor
old man left the campus. probably
thinking the university a very unhos-
pitable place.
The incident created much COM
nent among the students.
Yesterday the seniors. not wishing
to have the whole student body Judged
by the conduct OF one student, resolved
to take action In the matter. At q
meeting held in the parlor OF Lincoln
hall the seniors determined to make
an example Of the culprit
At . p. m. the delinquent stood with
fear and trembling before the foremost
men in the university. He heard in
silence the accusation made agains,
him.
After listening for fifteen minutes
to the best lecture he will ever hear
for the rest Of his life on respect to
gray hairs, he was boosted into the
pond below the cottage.
A few minutes later a half drowned
student. who had learned by experience
what he should have been taught long
years ago sought his way to his room

wiser.-Journal.

Woman in an Unconscious COndi-
ton Found on Sidewalk.
Upon Examination at the Hospital Her Body was
Discovered to be Covered with Scars, Caused
by the Hypodermic Injection Of Morphine -
Facts Published as Warning to Other Women.

The above headlines recite the
actual experience Of a poor wreck of
a woman who had once held an hon
cradle and lucrative position in
large mercantile house in New York.
Her health began TO fail, and instead
Of taking rest and proper medical
treatment she resorted to stimulants
and morphine.
The hospital physician discovered
that her primary trouble was an
affection of the womb, which
could readily have been cured in the
first stages. If when she had first
felt those severe pains In the back,
the terrible headaches, the constant
sense of fullness, soreness and pain
in the pelvic region, she had heedd
the warning that serious troubleCvas
in store, and commenced a regular
treatment with the Pinkham Rene
dies, as did Mrs. Rober of Chicago,
whose letter follows, the polypus
in the womb would have been dis
solved and passed away, and to-day
she would have been well woman.
Why will women let themselves
drift along into terrible suffering
and sickness in this way, when there
is monumental proof that Lydia
T.. Pinl5ham's Vegetable Com
pound is daily relieving thousands
Of women from this very trouble =?
There is no excuse for any woman
who suffers to go without help. Mrs.
Pinkham is very glad indeed to give
her personal advice TO any one who

letter simply goes TO prove that the

this city The vein was reached this
morning at a depth of about S55 feet
The well in which the gas was found

lighted.
The flame reached several feet high
and spread 50 that IL filed half the

a this time no one can tell how much
gas there is until it is ascertained how
