It may not be known to tho average
ytrginlan that in addition to the claim
OF a half million dollars against the Ma
Gtfonal Government, duo as money ad'
vanced for tho purpose OF building the
Capitol, the United States also owes Vir-
ginia the sum Of $4,000. s
When Virginia seeded from the Union
in 1851 there was in the treasury OF the
United states the amount mentioned
which represented the States pro rata
share Of the sum received from the. sale
OF certain public lands. These lands
were sold and the money ellVloed among
all the States. I'd az gge3
Virginia held that the whole proceeding
was Unconstitutional and refused to ac-
cept the money apportioEed to her, or any
part Of 1t, It remained IN the treasury
for number OF years, After Y 'rg1nla
had seeded and the State OF West fVlr-
ginla had been formed, the authorities
here, possibly acting under authority con-
ferrcd BY an act of Congress, took the
Virginia money and gave It to the State
OF West Virginia. It was used IN arming
and euuippIng the soldiers which West
Virginia put In tho field IN defense OF the
Union. =,
a' Il would appear that Vest Virginia had
not a shadow OF claim to the money.
Certainly, the state had none II the money
was not turned over to 1t by direction OF
Congress. West Virginia has always re-
fused to assume any portion OF the DEBT
incurred by Virginia prior to the forma-
ton Of the new State, 1t cannot be con-
tended that she represented the state @

adopted ordinances OF secession were ney-

the roadmakers OF the world. The
original Roman roads were built of
solid fagstones placed side by side
on edge, making a perfectly solid
structure. The engineers ofNapoleon
were probably the first to learn and
act upon the fact that broken stones
closely packed together would rece-
ment and form a solid bed. The
recognition of this fact brought
about a revolution in bodybuilding,
greatly reducing the cost without
materially affecting its practical
durability, especially where sys
tenn of maintenance prevails.
At the present time the French
roads are divided into three classes:
the national highways, which are
kept in order by the state from
general fund; departmental high
ways, which are at the charge of
the department, and townships
roads, which are constructed by the
communes, but receive aid for
maintenance from the state or the
department. The national courses,
as they are commonly called,
radiate from Paris like the spokes
from a wheel, and connect that city
with all the important cities and
departments of the country. These
courses are broad and are bordered
with beautiful trees, which make
the vista a delight to those who
ride for pleasure.

The old blue laws of 1894 have

work performed on the Sabbath

ing, trading or other indulgence in
worldly pursuits during the period
designated as the Sabbath day
"The Sabbath day shall begin at

RAPID ADVANCE IN
THE COST OF LIVING.

The people of New York City not
only spend more than twice as much
for food and clothing now as they
did twenty years ago, but they also
spend % per cent. per capita more
now than they did then. Those who
deal in food and clothing attribute
the increase per capita to the fact
that the people are more prosperous
now and that they do not have to
restrict themselves as they did in
1888.
Twenty years age" says Marcus
NJ. Marks, President of the Whole
sale ClOthiers' Association of New
York City, 'the average man would
wear a suit of clothes much longer
than now. Now nothing but fresh
looking suit of clothes will do the
average person. He or she wants to
present neat appearance and share
in the general feeling of prosperity"
Mr.. Marks estimates that there
is spent in New York City annual
ly for clothing $1OO,OOO,OOO. The
amount expended for shoes, hats
and underwear is estimated at $75.-
O0O,000,000, making total of
175,000,OOO.
In 1888 the total amount spent
by the city for wearing apparel did
not exceed $75,OOO,O00, or about
the same amount that is now spent
for hats, shoes aud underwear
What the people eat costs them
nearly three times as much as their
wearing apparel. Mr.. Barrett, ed
itor of the American Grocer. esti-
mates that the annual consumption
OF food in New York City amounts
to $751;, 49,, 400 worth. This is an
average of $3.50 a week for each
man, woman and child in the city.
The total for 1888 was O,27S,O72.
II the increase in consumption
continues in the same proportion in
the future as in the past the city
will spend S400,0O0,0OO for wearing
apparel in 1928, and $1,310,157, 900
for food.-New York World.

The annual report of Maj. Gen. Bates,
commanding the department of the
lakes, has been given out for publica-
ton. 1t says that the character and
general physical appearance of recruits
is not up to the standard of former
years. The number of undeveloped youths
appeared especially noticeable The gen
eral mess system in operation at Fort
Sheridan, Columbus barracks and Fort
Thomas is reported unsatisfactory, and
n return to the company mess system is
recommended. There were 357 enlisted
men tried by general court martial, an
increase of twenty-five over last year.
One hundred and eighteen of the men
tried belonged to other departments. OF
the total number tried 342 were convict
ed and eleven acquitted. In the cases of
four the sentences were disapproved.
Two hundred men were convicted for de-
sertion. The report concludes with an
urgent recommendation for Il military

Valley Springs, thirteen miles east of
Sioux Falls, S. d., was the scene of
regular Jesse James raid between 2 and
3 O'clock Saturday morning. Residents
of the town were aroused by series of
nine explosions. When they appeared on
the street to ascertain the cause they dis
covered that the place was pickcted by
seven or eight armed men who drove
them from the streets on pain of instant
death if they attempted to interfere with
the robbers. The Minehaha County
Bank was the object of attack by the
desperadoes, who blew open the safe
which stood outside the vault and Sc
cured between $4,000 and $4,000 in
cash The vault was not molested. Dur
ing the raid one of the pickets fired at
citizen, but owing to a shortage of fire
arms the residents were compelled to
keep in the background until the rob
bers had completed their work and left
town.

Within the last few weeks plans have

the chiefs of police of the large cities
OF the United States are involved also.
The matter has been kept quiet, but
enough has leaked out to warrant the
