the usual way in Pine Bluff
Halloween has been observed from

In recent years, however, it has be-

r.anks than with the religious idea.
Consequently ii behooves the good

fences, that their stable doors are Sc

the spirit Of the occasion.
Although it is often neglected in
modern practice. one of the most es-
sental features OF the Halloween
ritual is the lighting by each house
hold of the bonfire at nightfaIl. This
arose from the ancient practice Of
lighting sacred fires at certain sea-
sons of the year. In ancient times
the festival was regarded as season
al which the fairies were both un-
usually active and propitious.
All Saints Day, following Hallow-
e'en, will be observed in the Catholic
churches of Pine Bluff Tuesday. Sol
emn services are generally held both
in the morning and evening at all
| the churches on that day. On the next
Sunday all the Catholic churches OF
the city will observe All Saints Day.

London, Jan 13.-Thereis no partic-
ularly important new from the far
East today to influence public opinion,
and, as is generally the case when moth
adverse appears, a spirit of hopefulness
prevails. This optimistic opinion is
shared to some degree by diplomatic cir
Giles. Today reports are at hand which
indicate that the Mikado's advisers have
shown a disposition to meet the Russian
officials half way, and in return for the
conciliatory Russian note will send
reply equally conciliatory.

II LEGISLATURE.

With a record of 325 days and a ses-
sion extending into four calnedar years,
one legislature went out of existence
last night. and today another began lis
slttings, the period being limited by law
to sixty days.
The legislature devoted its dying hours
to the eminent domain and the service
corporation bills.
The conference committee agreed on
the amendments early yesterday to the
eminent domain bill, and it was passed
with few changes. 1t gives the railroads
broad privileges in condemning rights-oi
way. The bill allows the condemnation
of dwellings and public schools for rail-
road purposes. Church and cemetery
property may be acquired by purchase,
and that of State institutions by legisla-
tive sanction. Sixty days, instead Of
thirty, is allowed to file protests with
courts.
At the night session both branches OF
the legislature adopted the report ofthe
conferees on the public service corpora
ton bill. 1t is a bulky document. with
many amendments. The most striking
is that which allows railroads to use each
Others tracks, where the public good de-
mands, subject to the corporation COM
mission.
The important matters before the
House being out Of the way for the time,
Mr.. Churchman offered a resolution call
ing on Col. j. @. Featherstone to deliver
a valedictory TO to the expiring House,
and Colonel Featherstone spoke at length
with wit, humor and pathos, and was
frequently cheered.
After the chair was vacated, a num-
Der of members were called upon, and
many happy responses were made.
The following of n General Assem-
bly, closely on the heels of another is a
rather unique situation, and a condition
that has not existed in Virginia for a
long time, ifever. 1t creates a great deal
Of confusion, and any forecast of the
new session is impossible.
The new Senate held a caucus last
night and reelected all the old officers
and pages. The House officers have no
opposition and no caucus was held.

Maohen's Trial.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The Machen
trial is progressing with much more
speed than the government hoped for,
Notwithstanding the evident purpose OF
the defense to drag out the proceedings
by forcing the introduction of much
testimony as to facts that ale ordinarily
admitted without question. Kumbler,
the chief clerk, was one Of the witnesses
today. His testimony for the most part
was immaterial. Howley's testimony,
however, today created great interest as
showing how completely Assistant Post
master Generals are at the mercy o.
subordinate officials. He said First As
sistant Postmaster General Wynne de-
p,nded entirely oil the reliability of di'
vision chiefs in the expenditure o.
money, rarely questioning their decisions.
He said he had seen Miss Liebhart sign
Machen's name several times. Most o.
his testimony related to unimportant de-
tails. First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Wynne followed.

Wage Scale Fixed.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-The wage scale
for steam shovel and dredge workers on
the Panama Canal was fixed in Chicago
yesterday. Engineers will not work fol
less than $500 a month and board and
cranemen will demand $3.50 a month
with board when employed on the Pan
anna canal. The rate was fixed by the
international Brotherhood of Steam
Shovel Engineers and Cranemen. In
Cuba and Mexico the scale is $3.50 for
engineers and 5 for cranemen a month
with board. In the United States wages
will be 1925 for engineers and $50 for
cranemen with board per month. The
organization passed resolutions ASKING
Congress to pass laws for the protection
of labor on the Panama canal. The
brotherhood consists of men in dredging
work in all parts of the world. A com.
mittee was appointed to meet the. dredg-
ing contractors next month to fix a scale
for work on the lakes for 1904.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1904-01-13

THE CLOSING Of the river byice during
the recent cold waves has not only pro
duced ~stagnation around the wharyes,
but its effects are felt in other quarters
of the city, while the prevailing inclem-
ent conditions have caused many whose
occupations are generally in the open air
TO be idle. Most Of this class are in no
condition to lose time. 1t means scanty
subsistence or an accumulation of debts
until more favorable opportunities for
work appear. There are doubtless many
in Alexandria and in all cities 20 whom
the present is the most dismal part OF
the year, and who earnestly wish for the
bleak winter to pass away. None will hail
the advent of spring with more real joy.
The good people of this city every winter
do much to toward bearing the burdens
of the worthy, and although in so doing
they may occasionally aid imposters in
%prolonging their periods oil idleness,
they will in no wise lose their reward.
