COMMITTED SUICIDE.
l.. q. Hughlett. Disappointed in
Love, Blows Out His Brains.

Lucius G. Hughlett committed
suicide Saturday in Staunton, Va,
by shooting himself through the
brain. Instead of going to dinner
he went into the basement of Hogs
head drug store, where he was en-
ployed, and shot himself. He left q
note saying he could not stand his
mental agony any longer and that a
note in bis pocket would partly ex-
plain it. The note was from young
woman breaking her engagement.
Mr.. Hughlett was q native of Ian.
caster county, but went to Staunton
from Petersburg last September. His
note ylso told of his life insurance
and Indebtedness. He asked that
after his bills were paid that the
rest of his money be divided among
his sisters, and that his brothers.

FISHING NOTES.

Many nets for spring shad and
herring fishing have been taken up.
Last Saturday menhaden steamer
Wacker, of Indian Greek Fertilizer
Co, broke and lost her propeller of
Old Plantation Light. She was
towed to Baltimore where she will
be for some time.
Bellows & Squires got about two
million menhaden last week. Other
boats also caught some and the fish
ing this week is fairly good. The
menhaden season on the Chesapeake
is now in full blast.
TowED BY WHALE 100 MILES.
One day last week two fisher.
men of Edgartown, Mass, were en-.
gagged in examining some nets which
they had set off shore. Suddenly a
finback whale leaped out of the
water within ten feet of them.
The boat rocked violently and both
men were thrown PROSTATE. At the
same instant the whale started out to
sea, foullng the lines which attached
the nets to the little boat and towing
the Thelma seward. The mate did
not rise. being buried under a heap
of nets that had been overturned
when the whale fouled the lines.
Captain Hillman was stunned by
his. fall, but regained his feet in a
few seconds. Captain Hillman esti-
mates that the whale was towing the
Thelma at speed of thirty miles an
hour.
So fast did the little boat tear
through the sea that torrents of
water poured over the broad fiat
stern. Captain Hillman was forced
to bail continuously to keep the small
craft from being swamped. He was
unable to cast off the lines that bound
the nets to the boat, nor could he
cut them, having lost his knife over
board when the boat was rocked by
the swing of the whales monstruus
tail. After being towed for four
hours IN the direction of Europe, the
Ihelma was suddenly freed, and by
the whale itself. Capt. Hillman saws
it all happened SO quickly that he
cannot explain 1T, but he thinks that
the whale must have slackened it's
speed and then dived. The Thelma
and her two occupants were alone on
.he Atlantic, more than 100 miles
from land and they were two DAYS
n bringing the Thelma back to port. |

FIRST VICTIM OF PASSES,

A surprising and remarkable re.
port comes bounding along the polit-
ical tramway from DanvIlle to the
effect that Col. George Cabell has
rendered his resignation as a member
OF the Virginia Legislature to Gov
ernor Montague, and all because of
free railroad passes. It seems that
the gallant Colonel has put his foot
in it very badly. He was elected to
the House of Delegates through the
influence of the labor unions of Dan.
Vile with the distinct understanding
that ne would pay his way on the
railroads. 1t was discovered a few
days since, 80 the Times Dispatch
says, that Cabell had acccepted
passes from the Southern r. r.. of
which ne is local counsel, and inn
mediately following the discovery
the two Danville papers called on the
gentleman to resign his office. The
latest bit OF political gossip will
prove a tender morsel of delightful
revenge for those gentlemen. and
there are several who have old scores
to even up with Cabell, and it is snr.
prlslng that the gentleman from Dan
Vile allowed himself to be so easily
trapped. Col. Cabell made the bril-,
liant speech nominating Mr.. Monta.
que at the Norfolk convention.

A MUSICAL BIRD.

Not far from the CITIZENS office
is a pigeon cote, one member of
which is real prodigy. Narrowly
escaping the talons of the house cat
when SQUAD, he fell under the tender
nursing of little daughter of the
household. 1t was but natural that
the pigeon should become quite do
INVESTIGATED, and as naturally that he
should become q nuisance. He is
now IN the strength and beauty of
his pigeon manhood, but he tabooes
the society of his feathered kind and,
among other annoying things, persists
in nesting in the hair of any mem.
Der of the household that will let him
perch upon the head or the back of
the chair where one sits. Unless the
screen doors and windows bar him

about means that you must share your
plate with him; to take pen in hand
to write means that he must have q

But the most remarkable of all
"Pigeoy Mans" propensities is his
delight for music. Open the piano and
if he be in the yard he comes post haste
Ii the doors are closed he beats on
the windows with his wings until
admitted. Once in, he flies to the
key board and with strutting wing
and shutting feet parades up and
down the keys, making discord OF

the piano room and door or window
be left open and key board unclosed
this bird will proceed to trample the
keys, keeping time to the sounds
with his dove-like COO. If the piano
be shut down he will perch on the

neighbours residence, away he flies to
go through his favorite performance.
This all would not be so remarkable
If efforts had been made to train the
bird but, on the contrary, strenuous
efforts have been made to prevent
the annoyance he has voluntarily be-
come. And yet the hearts of the
children,and even of the family heads,
revolt at quitting out his light"

A CARD.
Editor VIRGINIA CITIZEN /:

Editor VIRGINIA CITIZEN:
We have decided not to write an,
more at present and want to than
you for your liberal favors shown us
"Your kindness is only exceeded b,
your good looks" 1t was all in the
most friendly terms, and as we sit
side by side there comes a feeling of
JOY and pleasure through our minds
as our thoughts take us back to the
scenes of childhood when we were
boys at school-for many terrapin,
snake, wild flower, etc., fell victim
to our cruel hands. There is still
fresh in memory the beautiful, kind
angelic faces Of some of our beloved
school teachers who have long since
given up their earthly duties to give
an account of their stewardship in
heaven. We also hope the public
has not misjudged us, for, "Judpe
not that ye be not judged"
There is only one statement that
we wish to retract. We have been
accused of being reared on iuleps.

grass, molasses, bananas, etc. This
is sad mistake, for from our earli-
est and best recollection we were
both raised on hog and hominy and
cool spring water, and considered our
selves lucky if we got enough of
that.
Some one might ask who are
"Saiior Lad" and "Idlewild."
We will answer that right here.
lSailOr Lad" has followed the briny
deep most of his days and has wealth.
cred many gale, and more water
has been blown over his head than
ever went under a intinoaker's
feet; while "Idlewild" is a farmer
md has had considerable experience
IN lamp-shades and plow-shares.
Now, Mr.. Editor, again thanking
you and hoping that Harry and Will
lies friendship will never cease as
long as heart, passion and life have
woes, we will now say good bye.

Association and invited the editors
to meet at Ocean View. Mr.. David.
son offered a low rate per dav
and Mr.. Norvell offered in addition
transportation free of charge over all
the electric lines of the railway com
pany represented by him. He also
offered the Association an excursion
around the loop of the railway COM
pany, embracing trip from Ocean
View to Old Point by water; from
Old Point via Soldiers Home and
the Hampton Normal School to
Newport News by trolley; a ride
around the city of Newport News,
including visit to the shipyard;
q trip by water from Newport News
to Sewell's Point, where the James.
town Exposition is to be held; a trip
by trolley line from Sewell's Point
to Norfolk; ride through Norfolk
and back to Ocean View. Mr.. David
son offered to give the Association a
banquet at his hotel, and to do every-
thing in his power to make the meet
ing thoroughly enjoyable.
This offer was too tempting to be
declined and the committee unani-
mously decided to accept it. The
Association will therefore meet at
Ocean View on Tuesday, July 14th.
The committee at one time thought
of having the meeting at the Hot
Springs, as it has been the custom of
the Association to meet one year at
the seashore and the next year in
the mountains, but as the st. Louis
Exposition will be held next year
and as it is desirable to hold the
meeting of the Association in 1904
IN the western part of the State so
us to have the members we'll on the
way to st. Louis from that meeting.
there were good reasons for breaking
the rule this year and holding the
meeting at the seashore, notwith
standing that the meeting last wear
was held at Virginia Beach.
