Bristol, ' a., NOV. Zfi lJVo'
To the Cbairmen, Committees and Voters
of The Republican Party of the Counties
and Cities of the Ninth Congressional
District of Virginia:
I have the honor to direct your atten
ton to a recent opinion of the Attorney
General of Virginia, respecting the pay
ment of the estate poll tar" as a PRE-

these treasureis is required, after the ist

months before each regular election there
after is held in his county, or city, to he

county or of the corporation court OF his
CITY. a list of all persons in his county or
citv who have paid, not later than b
months prior to such election, the State
poll taxes required by this constitution
during the three years next preceding that
in which such election is held.
"The first State poll tax required by the
nresent Constitution is that levied for the
wear 1903. So that the only poll taxes to
be included in the lists to be furnished by
said treasurers in 1904 will be the State
Poll Tax levied and payable in 1903.
"The lists to be SO furnished in the year
1905 at least 5 months prior to the general
election to be held in that year, must en-
brace the State Poll Taxes for 1903 and
1904.
"Tbe lists to be go furnished in 1906
must embrace the State Poll Taxes fol
1903, 1904 and 1905.
I'm order to register after January lst
1904, the applicant must show he hao
paid his State Capitation Taxes for 1871
1902 and 1908.
"All voters registered before 1904 WI
be required to show that they have paic
their capitation tax for 1903 before they
can vote in 1904"

Identifying London.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The work of identifying London goes on
slowly, but at least beginning is shortly
to be made with the establishment of gar
den cities in the suburbs The announce
ment is made that the Garden City Pioneer
Company has acquired 1000 acres of land
near Hitchin. about thirty-f four miles from
the metropolis, on which the first garden
city will be built The site Is certainly we'll
situated for establishing residential and
manufacturing town. Three different lines
Of railway tap the district, which contains
an ample supply Of building material and
plenty of labor. Two important consider
atoms for residential purposes are gravel
soil and ample water supply. The land is
from $50 to 800 feet above sea level, and
most Of the site has southern aspect. A
company with a large capital Is to be
formed to carry out the scheme. and as the
dividend to shareholders Is to be limited to
per cent If the garden city Is success,
it is thought there ought to be consider
able sum yearly to go to the benefit Of the
town and its Inhabitants.
As Is generally known, one great difficulty
in all building schemes In close proximity
to London is the cost of the land. In the
present case the site Is said to have been
ACQUIRED on reasonable terms. so that rents
hoped the plan will work, for the distance
from London is not excessive. considering
the number Of people who daily travel far
Their to and from business. What with good
railway service. the extension Of electric
tramways and the growth Of motors, the
Hitchin Garden City may one of these days
become a mere suburb of London. Certain
" the scheme seems like an honest attempt
to solve one phase of the London housing
problem.

A third lay on the grassy slope Of the lily

and little silver pencil. very much bat

RECOMMENDS RENEWAL.
Temporary Lease of Smallpox Deten-
ton Camp to he Made.

In connection with the>proposed renewal
of the lease for certain buildings as a de-
tention camp for the smallpox hospital.
upon which question the controller of the
treasury ruled that the Commissioners
might rent such buildings for the time be-
ing, Auditor Garrison has called for certain
additional Information from the health Of
ficer. He asked whether the District of
Columbia. at the time the appropriation
for scarlet fever and diphtheria service was
made. had. or has had since that time. any
building or buildings which could be used
for the purpose of a detention camp for
smallpox patients, without renting a build
ing for the accommodation of such patients.
He asked also whether at the time the es-
Inmates for the appropriation were present
ed to Congress it was understood by that
body that a portion Of the appropriation
would be required for the rent of buildings
for a detention camp.
DR.. Woodward. the health officer, in re-
plying to these queries says:
"At the time the appropriation was made
the District of Columbia did not have. nor
buildings which could be used for
the purpose of detention camp
or quarantine station without renting a
building for the accommodation of such
Accommodations for smallpox patients ex-
ist in the smallpox hospital. and the provid-
ing of accommOda tons for them Is not in
volved in the matter now under conSidera-
ton.
Reference to statements made before the
subcommittee on appropriations. United
States Senate. on the bill max
ing appropriations to provide for
the expenses of the government
of the District of Columbia for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1904 shows that that
subcommittee was definitely informed that
the District of Columbia had under rental
certain property which was being used for
the accommodation of persons liable to de-
velop smallpox Presumably, therefore. the
Senate and the House of Representatives
which subsequently acted on the bill. were
aware that rent was to be paid for the
maintenance of such accommodations"
Auditor Garrison. in forwarding the pa
pers to the Commissioners. says the facts
set forth in the Endorsement Of the health
officer bring the rental of the building with
in the terms and conditions set forth in the
late ruling of the controller of the treasury.
He recommends that the lease for the
premises be executed.

COLUMBUS Ohio, October 13.-Secretary

HOMEKEEPING.
Mistake Of Women Who Are Always
Fighting Dust.

From the Cooking School
The truest homes are often in houses not
especially well kept, where the comfort ana
happiness of the inmates, rather than ex-
treme tidiness and the preservation OF the
furniture is first consulted. The object OF
the home is to be the center. the pivot on
which the family life turns. The first
requisite Is to make 1t so attractive that
none of Its members shall care to hnger
long outside its limits. All legitimate means
should be employed to this end and no eff
fort spared that can contribute to this pur-
pose There are many houses called homes,
kept with such waxy neatness by painstak-
ing anxious women, that are SO oppressive
in their nicely as to exclude all home feel
ing from their spotless precincts. The very
name Of home Is synonymous with personal
freedom and relaxation from care; solid
comfort.
But neither OF these can be felt where
such a mania for external cleanliness per-
vades the household as to render everything
else subservient thereto Many housewives,
If they see a Speck on floor or wall, OF DIT
of thread or paper on the floor rush at IT
as If it were the seed of pestilence. which
must be removed the instant. Their
temper depends upon their maintenance Of
perfect purity and order If there be any
failure on their part or any combination OF
circumstances against them, they fall INTO
a pathetic despair and can hardly be lifted
out They do not that cheerfulness is
more needful to home than all the spotless-
ness that ever shone. Their disposition to
wage war upon maculateness of any sort
increases until they become slaves Of the
broom and the dustpan. Neatness Is one
thing and a state of perpetual houseclean-
ing quite another.
Out Of this grows by degrees the feeling
that certain things and apartments are too
good for daily use. Hence, chairs and sofas
are covered and rooms shut up, save for
special occasions, when they permitted
to reveal their violated sacredness in
manner that mars every pretense Of hospi-
tally. Nothing should be bought which Is
considered too fine for the fullest domestic
appropriation. Far better Is the plainest
furniture on which the children can climb
than satin and damask which must be
viewed with reverence. When anything is
reserved or secluded. to disguise the fact
is extremely difficult. A chilly air wraps
1t round, and the repulsion Of strangeness
Is experienced by the most insensible.
Home is not a name. nor a form. nor
routine 1t Is spirit. presence, princi-
pie. Material and method will not and can
not make 1t. It must get its light and
sweetness from those who inhabit 1t, from
flowers and sunshine. from the sympathetic
natures which, in their exercise Of SYM
pathy. can lay aside the tyranny of the
broom and the awful duty of endless scrub
bing

iiary contrivances remained intact and in

turret were not worried in the least. After
this second shot the guns were moved both
mechanically and by hand.

was split vertically and horizontally by the
enormous shock of the projectile. 1t follows.
therefore, that the guns well protected
