THE DEATH of William Vanderbilt
Nissan is a sad lesson to many. Young,
with no occupation, but with ahandsome
income from money left him by his aunt
he had lived a life of reckless dissipa-
ton aud his dead body was found in a

ark or Saturday morning. No occupa-
ton and plenty of money have caused
the downfall of many young men, the
fathers of whom are mainly responsible
for allowing their sons to grow up in
idleness.

A DISPATCH from Norfolk says: "The
Norfolk county fusionists in the House
ofDelegates desire to enter the democratic
caucus, and there is considerable op-
position to their recognition. There
will be a fight over their admittance,
but is is likely that they will be accepted
in the end' But this should not be.
These men successfully opposed and de-
feated the regular nominees at the re-
cent election and therefore should have
no place in a democratic caucus. Party
rules must be maintained if party lines
are drawn.

istice of fifty-six hours is being observed
at that city. The United States gum

must take up the white woman's bur-
den again and haunt the shops, for,

be an unwritten law that early In

take place. and they are followed by
the advance of all the lovely and deli
cate materials for summer. This is
done SO that during the forty days
wherein women fast and repent they
are enabled still more to mortify the
flesh by dressmaking, for, be it
known, most of the summer frocks are
made at this time. If there is any one
thing more certain than another to
