His advent caused great deal of sur
prise, as it had been well understood
that no negro was to be invited to the
congressional reception, out of respect
to the southern Congressman and their
families. He was the observed of all
observers as the line moved slowly
through the state dining-rooms, and
every one was asking every one else who
he was. Finally he reached the re-
ceiving line. When the dusky brother
came to Colonel Bingham, the latter
looked surprised and decidedly embar-
raised. He leaned forward to catch the
negro's name and called out ''Mr.
Gaines" Delighted" grinned the
President, and his caller passed out into
the East Room. How he got his invita-
ton is not known. Beyond this Incl
dent last nights reception was q very
dull affair. Although $500 or more
invitations were issued, there were
scarcely more than l, 800 persons pres
ent. There were not dozen southern
Congressman and no southern Senators.
There were only about twenty Senator'S
in all. Not one of the Virginia delega-
ton was present. Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Hampton Hoge were there, Mrs.
Hoge being in the receiving line. The
reception was the smallest of the season

The Transatlantic Mail Service.

London, Feb. 6.--The English bust
ness community is complaining that
Morgan's shipping trust has led to great
deterioration in the Atlantic service
The mails this winter have been slower
and more irregular than at any time in
the past ten years, as a usual thing being
nine or ten or sometimes twelve days
from New York. 1t is further asserted
that instead of the promised express
service four times week, the fastest
boats have been laid off and cattle ships
substituted in their places.

CAUTION.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and a remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment OF Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The 20 cents size

PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.

The third card reception of the season
was given last night at the White House,
when, as expected, the attendance
proved smaller than usual. The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt took their places
in the Blue room few minutes beiore9.
Commander Cowles, Maj. McCawley,
and Capt. John r. Proctor, all in full
uniform, remained on duty in the Blue
room. The receiving line was the short
est in While House history of the past
twenty-five years, only three of the Cabi-
net hostesses assisting. These we're Mrs.
Shaw, Mrs. Payne and Miss Wilson.
Mrs. Roosevelt wore ahandsome toilet
of white silk with heavy lace trimming on
the shirt and bodice, and held bouquet
of lilies of the valley, thus avoiding the
necessity of shaking hands. The Pres
ident greeted each visitor with grasp
of the hand. Before the close Of the
first hour Mrs. Roosevelt became too
fatigued to stand the strain and with
drew to her room, Mrs. Shaw thus taking
tie place next the President. The ladies
of the Cabinet followed Mrs. Roosevelt s
example in carrying flowers.
The reception was practically boy
cotted by southern democratic members,
but few being present. The only south
ern men, according to those who we're
watching for developments on account
of the race question, noted in line that
passed the President we're Representa-
tiyes Richardson and Sims, OF Tennes-
see; Hooker, of Mississippi; Dinsmore,
of Arkansas; Lloyd, of Missouri; and
Gilbert, of Kentucky. There was one
negro present-Rev. Gaines, local
preacher is chaplain at one oil the
negro elementary institutions.
The Congressman from the TWO
Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Texas
appear to have had an understanding
among themselves that they should not
attend. The Senators apparently
backed up the Representatives. Gaines,
the colored guest, was cordially greeted
by the President.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Richmond Times Dispatch says
'The colored visitor came in very late,
there being less than fifty persons be-
tween him and the end Of the line.

FRIDAY EVENING. FEB. 6, 1908.

AFTER A professed enforcement Oh
prohibition for fifty years, Vermont mas
returned to local option and high license
The familiar plea that the State ought
not to permit the licensing OF an evil
and a sin was everywhere urged, but 1t
did not prevail against the argument
that a law which was constantly violated
wherever local option failed to sustain
it. which fostered corruption and was
prolific Of hypocrisy, did a great deal
more harm than good. There is ample
reason to believe that the new system
will prove more creditable and salutary
than the old system has been for many
years. "a large part of the population
will not be directly affected in any way
for licenses will be generally refused III
small places, and where they are grant
ed the holders will be subject to rigid
restrictions in the interest OF order,
sobriety and moral health. Prohibluon
has proved farce wherever tried ana Is
being repudiated even in New England
where all such restrictive laws originate
It is well known that in Maine where
ripid prohibition laws are supposed to
exist one who "knows the ropes can
get all the liquor he wants. 1t Will De
remembered that an Alexandrian Al
derman once stated that he received fire.
nuent orders from Maine for barrels Of
poratoes in each of which was to be
concealed a cask of whisky, showing
clearly how the the prohibition laws
were being violated. When New Eng
land is repeating as worthless her own
restrictive laws it seems strange that the
Virginia legislature should be wasting
time in attempting to fOist such laws
upon the people of this State.

Incendiarism Suspected.

Alton, Ills, Feb. 6. For the fourth
time in seventeen days fire was dis
covered last night at the Western Mill
tary Academy at Upper Alton. The
blaze started while the cadets were at
mess. The institution was destroyed,
entailing a loss of 100000. Eighty
students are affected. On January is
the school barracks burned. The loss
was $4,000. Two other fires were dis
covered and put out since then. Col.
Jackson and Captain Eaton, secretary
and treasurer of the company, are posi-
tive in their assertions that the build
ing was fired by persons who had a
grudge against the academy.

TriaI of Would-be Regicide.

Brussels, Feb. 6.-The trial of Rubino,
the Italian anarchist who shot at King
Leopold, on Nov. IL, last, began here
today. An immense crowd was present
in the court room. Rubino interrupted
the proceedings several times. AT one
time he shouted: 81 am not the accused.
1t is you and your whole rotten society,
which enslaves labor. / condemn you
to death" Rubino admitted that it
was his intention to kill King Leopold
when he fired the shot. He said that
while in London he received money from
the police for spying on the anarchists,
but that he had deceived the police and
gave the money to men he was supposed

RFy. FRANCIS p. BACHELOR has re-
signed the pastorship of the South Con-

which he has held since 1892, because
members of his congregation were en-

relinquish their occupation at the minis

sect of by-gone days interdicted the use
of coffee, chocolate, pork and other ar

fanatics known as Adamites in the dim

CONGRESSIONAL.

The discussion of the statehood bill in
the Senate yesterday turned on the ques-
ton of polygamy. A number OF Sena-
tors who heretofore have taken no part
in the debate participated in the discus
sion. Mr.. McComas had started the de-
bate Wednesday by criticising the pend
ing bills as being too liberal, and when
the subject came up yesterday Mr.. Gal
linger adverted to his remarks and said
that he was in favor of an amendment
covering this question as strong as could
be drawn. The influence of the Nor
mon church over politics occupied a
large share of the debate, which Mr..
Hale characterized as interesting, valu-
able and startling, because it had dis
closed a powerful religious organization
"exerting itself as a dominant, potential
force" over the mind and action of its
followers, which should be taken into
account in future legislation. Mr.. Kean,
who had intended continuing his remarks
begun Wednesday in opposition to the
bill, yielded the floor so often during the
day that before he resumed the Senate
went into executive session and adj
iourned few minutes afterward.
The antitrust bill debate which open
ed in the House yesterday, did not de-
yelop much animation.
The bill to expedite prosecutions oc-
casioned no debate. 1t passed the House,
as it did the Senate yesterday, without
a word of debate. Mr.. Powers rep,
Mass.) made the opening argument
for his side of the House on the Judiciary
committee bill, and Mr.. Clayton (dem.,
Ala. opened for his side. The former
contended that the pending measure was
a step in the direction of regulation OF
trusts, while Mr.. Clayton insisted that
it was all sham and pretence, and that
the bill, feeble as it was, was never in
tended to go on the statute books.
The postoffice appropriation bill wa:

LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

Another warm discussion took place
yesterday when the bill giving railway
corporations the right to condemn lands
owned by educational institutions came
up ON its passage. The rivalry between
the two systems Of electric street rail-
ways at Newport News, anc the manner
by which the Louisa Development Com
pany obtained its privilege as to the
Normal Institute grounds were aired.
Mr.. Sears opposed the Watkins eiil,
which allows all railways the right OF
condemnation, provided they do not go
within 500 feet of the school buildings
The Watkins substitute was passed by a
vote of Is to 5.
The child labor bill was discussed IN
an indirect manner. Mr.. Barksdaie,
from the committee on general laws, re-
ported favorably the Lyle bill as sub
stitute tor the Cabell bill. The whole

ures. Next Tuesday was the date de-
cided upon.

Nearly the entire session of the House
was devoted to the consideration of the
general revenue bill. There was pro.
| loneed fight over an amendment offered
by Mr.. Cation to make the tax on per-
sonal property in cases of action " IN
stead of 30 cents. In the discussion
there was much of criticism of the con
stitutional convention. The amendment
was defeated BY the vote of As to 8, ano
the bill went over.
The House adopted the conference re-
port on the salary bill. :.
Col. Cabell gave notice that he would

peared before the House finance commit
tee, in behalf of an appropriation for tn
jamestown Exposition. The who'll
question was presented in a practica
way. General Lee made fine impres
sion on the committee. Mr.. Ellysol
also advocated the appropriation Q
5000, 900. General Lee estimated tina
so, OOO, 900 people would visit the ex
position. He concluded by saying tina

would be as liberal to the jamestown
Exposition as it has been to the 81
