Richmond, Va, June 27.-S. H.
Yonge, civil engineer, has announced to
the Association for the Preservation of
Virginia Antiquities, that a part of a
block Of foundations located by him,
and which was uncovered under his
direction last February, belonged to the
ancient colonial State House, which
was erected about 240 years ago, and
is, therefore. among the oldest exist
ing foundations of colonial times.
The foundations were identified by
Mr.. Yonge by locating from the ancient
land grants a tract containing the
foundations of former buildings be-
longing to Philip Ludwell, a prominent
colonial official the State House, ac-
cording to the land grant, being con-
tiguous to those buildings.
The block of foundations uncovered
varies in width from "a to 46 feet. Its
length is 237 feet.

The Stomach Is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the
man, because it cannot transform
the food he eats into nourish-
ment. Health and strength can
not be restored to aay sick man
or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach can
not digest enough food to feed

RIVER RISING.
Mississippi Will Pass High Water Mark
of '07.

The rapid rise of the Mississip-
pi river during the last few days
is a source Of great worry to the
people who live in the delta or
have property located there.
The rise in Memphis is thirty
five feet and according to the
weather man the crest of the rise
will not reach there until about
Sunday, even if there is no more
rain. 1t is now certainty that
the river will rise above the
high water mark made during the
disastrous food of '97. OF course
the levees are much stronger and
better every way now than in '97
but there ha already been some
breaks in it aU different points,
ana now much more pressure IL
can stand without giving way
is still to be seen.
Governor Longino has ordered
a squad of convicts 10 be put to
work on the weak places of the
levee in Coahoma, county and
they are being assisted by the
citizens in their work.
Several breaks are reported
from Louisiana which resulted in
considerable damage to prop
ertyowners and some loss of life.

Senatorial Luxury.

After buying everything from
,sawdust and snuff to candy and
altar of roses. the United States
Senate spent $2,632.40 last year
for mineral water to slake the
Senatorial thirst, according to the
report of Charles G. Bennett, its
secretary, says the Philadelphia
Record.
1t appears that every Senator
must take 420 grains of quinine
in order to keep at his duties, for
the report states that some 49,
900 grain quinine pills were
bought for the use of the Senate.
Just now there is much specu
ulation as to who bought a 'sew-
ing set" for 1915 and a fashion
book. Members of the House
who use $55 bootblack stands are
having much amusement over the
sewing set item in the secretary's
report.
All articles mentioned in Sec
retary Benefits rep rt are paid
out for the contingent fund of the
Senate.
After drinking 582 cases of
mineral waters the Senate still
had a thirst, for there are items
of 70 boxes of lemons and eight
barrels of granulated sugar for
making lemonade.
Senatorial stomaches are not
always of the best or else the
restau mt is productive of indi-
gestion, for among the purchases
are pepsin tablets, soda mint tab
let's and aromatic spirits of am
monia Bromo seltzer, headache
powders and various other drugs
and patent preparations are kept
in stock at all times.
Some of the mysteries of the
committee rooms are unveiled by
the secretary's report, which
shows that twelve packs of play
ing cards and two domino sets
were bonght for Senators during
the last fiscal year. 1t is now
known why senators walk off in
pairs when long speech is be-
gun.
Some Senator had bought for
his use a jewel case, and another
got pair of rnbber boots, and a.
third ordered sawdust, cork
screws, knives and a Gibson cal
ender.
Another frugal statesman had
the sergeant alarms buy him two
hour glasses. Right under this
item is another for all oil stove.
The suggestion has been made
that the hour glass and oil stove
are to be used in connection
with the boiling of eggs.
Two Bibles were bought during
the course of a year and a bundle
of tooth picks. Other articles
were horse shoes, mustang lini
ment and hay but all of this was
for the senatoYialhorses.
For one chair the senate paid
$90.75, and it is by no means the
best in the building, for pretty
nearly every committee room is
supplied with expensive furni
ture.
About the cheapest thing
bought was s'two escutcheons" at
