EVERY man in every town during the

OF Richmond in 1865, and greatly
damaged by them. Its friends asked
for $25, 900 of the government to re-
pair this damage, ard both Senators
and congressman had tried for years
and years to get this claim allowed,
but failed. When Mr.. Martin went
to the Senate he took the claim up.
and never rested until he placed ia
the hands of Prof. Bcstwright, the
President of the College, a check for
$25, 900 from the United States gov
ernment, fact which at the time
called forth the earnest thanks of
the friends OF that great institution,
and of members of that great denomi.
nation throughout the State. And
this is only one thing among hun
dreds that Senator Martin has done
for his State.-Fair Play, in Acco-

GApEs IN CHICKENS.

Gapes destroy more young chicks
than any other disease. 1t is caused
by q small worm that occupies the
upper air passages. The chick is
often relieved by the use Of the old
method in twisting horse hair in
the bronchial tubes aud drawing out
the small red worms. Some times
the little chicks are relieved by
placing them in q box and sitting
lime dust over them, 50 that it
causes them to breathe the lime and
in their effort to clear their throat
they expeH the worms.
The eggs of the cape worm come
from the soil. The soil should be
we'll lined and plowed frequently.
The water trough and feed places
should be kept clean and well disin-
fected with copperas solution, one
pound to two gallons of water.
The bodies of the dead fowls
shouid be buried deep. Preventa-
tives is the best remedy for this
disease.

Sometimes it seems as though the an

entitic in their methods as they should
be. The great, abounding cause OF di-

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The writer is one of the old fash
Toned fellows who was taught in his
youth. that officers were made for the
service of the people and, therefore.
the more efficient the officer, the bet
ter for the people. If the people are
well served by a certain officer, it is
to their interest to keep him in his
place, especially if any technical
training or special experience is re-
quired for full efficiency in the office

tor is one that does require such spec

his associates. Until these THINGS
are accomplished, he can do no more
than "stand up and be countedD

made it possible for him to edo

done them. And naturally, the

the more useful will he be 10 his

In a few minutes a gang of about
fifty English sparrows tackled the

ported as having fought savagely fol

a ACoURTEoUs RETRAUrIoN

The Norfolk Virginian- Pilot on
several occasions maintained that
Governor Montague was right IN his
contention that $5 so was to all in
tents the amount recovered by Vir-
ginia In the settlement of accounts
between the State and the general
govern ment.
That paper based its opinion upon
the idea that the amount by which
the State Offset the claims of the
government was one which could
have been successfully set up in the
court of claims; and that Senstor
Martin only accomplished by the
settlement what could at any time
have been accomplished by present
ing and pushing the claim of the
State before the proper tribunal.
Upon the Virginian-Pilot having its
attention called to the fact that in
this particular it was mistaken, aud
that long years ago there was a set
Element of Virginia's claim against
the government, which settlement
was set aside and the account re-
opened by the bill originally intro
duced in the senate by Major Daniel
and pressed to this passage by Sena.
tor Martin, our Norfolk contem-
porsry frankly and courteously re-
tracts its statement, and accords to
Senator Martin the credit due him
for effecting a recovery of practically
$l,70O,000 for the State.-Char-
lottesville Progress.
When it is recalled that the Vir-
ginian- Pilot is the only prominent
newspaper In the State that is openly
opposing the reelection of Senator
Martin aud that its opposition has
been persistent, the above editorial
from an unfriendly source must be
regarded as high need of praise.

Hanford In Don Caesar.

'Don Caesar de Bszan" is one of the
dramatic delights which age cannot
wither nor custom stale. The character
IL as typical of gaiety as Hamlet is Of
melancholy. Some of the greatest
figures in the drama have been fssci-
mated by this dashing character and
have applied their best abilities to its
delineation. Although the scenes OF
Don Caesar are laid in Spain, the play
shares With so many standard successes
the distinction of having been first
produced in Paris.
The most eminent English speaking
actors have performed Don Caesar. 1t
was one OF the favorite characters of
Mr.. Edwin Booth. Mr. Charles b.
Hsnford's production of ithe play will
be that employed by Mr.. Booth. Re-
cent efforts to readjust the situation
and create new dialogue for the play
have proved entirely unsatisfactory
the A'Becket-Lemon version being the
only one that rings true and touches
the responsive chord in public senti-
ment.
