We are told that Virginia has the
distinction of having as a citizen the
only widow now living OF a Revolu-
tionary soldier. This lady is Mrs.
Rebecca Mayo, who lives at New bern,
She married Stephens Mayo, who
was seventy-seven years OF age when
she was twenty. 1t is very appro-
pirate as Virginia commenced that
great struggle, and the last battle d
the war was fought on her soil, that
she should have within her borders
she last link that reaches back and

Sometimes opinion changes by be-
coming better acquainted with con
ditions We dread. 1t is reported that
the new law separating the races on
the street cars in Richmond, and
which the colored people looked upon
with such apprehension, was given a
thorough test Monday and worked
admirably. The beautiful spring
weather brought out the population
In force, and the handling OF the

the resolution passed by the colored

rescinded, and all who desire to do

Defeated In their State Convention
as to their choice for a candidate. II
is said that Tammany looks 30 the
South for help to defeat Judge Park
or, who is not IN good order with
shat great political organization.
The question is, will they look in
vain? Judge Parker is popular in
she South and the Southern leaders
have expressed their views so freely,
which are faVororable TO Judge
Parker that Mr.. Williams, the Demo
cratic leader in Congress, said the
other day that he regarded Judge
Parker's nomination as foregone
conclusion. The Judge was strong
In the South before, but that remark
gave him additional strength, and
we are sure that Tammany will look

THE HORSE SHOW.

The coming horse show is to he an
event in the history OF Fredericks'
burg. 1t is something all OF us have
desired for obvious reasons, and the
thanks OF the entire community are
due those gentlemen who by their en-
ergy and perseverance have made Its
contamination possible. We are
more than glad to be able to say
that theprospect ola successful show
ia most Gathering, and the manage
ment is prepared to say that the
show starts out under more favor
able auspices than any OF those al
ready launched In this State. Its
prize list is large, and the spacious
grounds OF the Fair Society give
assurance of ample room and accom-
mediation for all who attend. Better
than everything else, however, from
q local point OF view, is the benefits
which will accrue TO our business men
and merchants from the trade which
will come as q necessary consequence
OF a city full of visitors. In addition
to many people from the various
cities, our country friends will no
doubt gather in force. Virginians
naturally love a fine horse, and since
this applies In our own particular
section as well as elsewhere, We
haven't she least doubt that the peo-
pie OF the surrounding country will
give the horse show their unqualified
support. Our own people and some
In the adjacent counties have shown
their interes. by subscribing literally
80 the stock, but there is still room
for Others to lend a helping hand. Ii
can be accepted as a general truth
that all horse shows pay and pay
well, not only the stockholders, but
In an indirect manner many Others;
80 taking everything into considera-
sion We have no hesitancy in saying
that the horse show will prove a
good thing" and In conclusion we
urge that this section Of Virginia
unite in giving the Fredericksburg
show its enthusiastic support.

THE JAPAN.RUssIA WAR.

A five days land battle Is reported
between the japanese and Russiane'
in which the former was victorious,
capturing twenty.eight quick firing
guns, twenty officers and a large
number of men. The Russians claim
as balm for their humiliation at the
defeat, that they were largely out
numbered, but that is an old dodge
and very unlikely In this instance,
Ii is the general impression that the
Japanese are more active, courageous
and skiliul than the Russians are,
which secured TO them the victory.
SO 1t turns out that the Russians
are no more successful on land than
on water, and it may be that the
more she undertakes to wipe out the
disgrace of defeat the deeper she viii
get into It, and mediation may final
ly be accepted.
