THE Home Missionary" that in its
methods and its conduct of business the
average church society lags far behind
other Women's organizations. This is one
reason why women of ability are seeking
channels of effort outside the church. 1t
should be the aim of every new officer to
correct this. Let them learn the limits OF
their powers. the rights Of committees,
the laws which govern assemblies. Let
presidents strive TO bring out the powers
of others, instead of keeping too much
power in their own hands. When this has
been done no one woman can control the
rest, for the spirit of true democracy will
prevail

similar to that committed'by J.oSamuel Nc
Cue, the former mayor Of Charlottesville.
1t is significant that Thompson, suspected
of wife murder, Occupies THE same cell as
did McCue in the Jail at Charlottesville,
and he has vehemently protested his inno-
cence. II
A week ago the home of Thompson. near
Shadwell, was burned to- the ground, and
the day following dhe fire occurred during
the night the charred remains of the wo-
man and her two children were found in
the ruins 1t transpires that Thompson
and his wife did not live as happily as
might have been the case. and her son by
a former marriage says that he often beat
the woman, and also drove him from home.
Brothers of Mrs. Thompson live in this
city and they are actively at work to ascer-
tain if a crime were committed, and if so
they will use every effort to have the per-
petrator brought to justice. There is no ex-
element over the affair, and reports from
Charlottesville say that the Indifference of
Thompson is largely responsible for the be-
lief that he knows something of the horri-
bic death of Mrs. Thompson and her chill
dren. Thompson says he will prove an
alibi.

There is considerable speculation as to
what course Gov. Warfield will pursue in
the fall campaign. The governor stands
committed against the measure by his mes
sage to the state senate and by his re-
fusal to promugate the amendment unless
compelled to do SO by mandate of the
courts. Friends of the governor say that
he will probably not take any part in the
campaign and that his followers will in
a quiet way work against the amendment.
Labor Troubles Threaten.
The approach of the new labor year on
May 1 has caused some uneasiness among
the builders and contractors, as demands
on the part of the great army of workmen
are anticipated. Few strikes are expected
to result because of the belief Of the local
federation of labor that more can be ac-
complished by other than radical measures
but unless the employers grant the demands
that are to be made by certain unions. it is
likely that the calling out of certain trades
unions may result All CT the labor unions
are at this time in exceptionally good con-
dition financially, and could, should the
necessity arise, live through a long drawn
out struggle. So thorough is the organiza-
ton of the federation here that 1t will be
impossible to complete any building now in
course of construction unless the work is
done by union men. There promises to be
some slight interference with progress in
the new district on account of the COM
petition among contractors for labor. Brick
layers especially are in demand, and the
wages now being paid these men are such

Veterans Worked Up.

Special Dispatch to The Sunday Star.
RICHMOND, April S.-Confederate vet
Grams o. this state are considerably worked
up over the claims made by the state of
North Carolina and the part played by the
troops of that state during the civil war.
Monday is the day set for unveiling the
North Carolina monument at Appomattox,
and the inscription on the monument has
caused all the row. 1t seems that some
one vested with authority prepared the In
scription, which sets forth that the men
from North Carolina were the first to en-
list got further in the charge at Gettys-
burg than any other men, and that they
were the last to surrender at AppomattoX.
The inscription has created all sorts of
comment, and SO far all the confederate
veterans in the state have formally declined
to accord the visitors from North Caro-
lina~a welcome when they visit Appomat-
tox tomorrow. Many of the camps have
adopted formal resolutions not to attend
and to have no hand in the ceremonies,
though at first it was expected that it would
be a great occasion for the veterans of
neighboring states. The governor of North
Carolina is to attend with his staff and
Governor Montague is to attend and is to
extend the inequalities on the part of the
state. The governor however, will con-
fine his welcome to the conventionallties
and will not in any way refer to the un-
pleasant features.

RICHMOND, Va, April S.-Commissioner
George w. koiner of the Department of
Agriculture expresses the belief that the
state will have its population increased by
more than one hundred thousand people
within the next two years. Virginia made
an exhibit at the st. Louis exposition, and
it has attracted attention from all parts of
the United States. For the past four months
Mr.. Koiner has been back at his office, and
daily he is in receipt of numbers of let
ters from persons in the north and west
who want to come to Virginia to engage
in farming, fruit raising, trucking, hog
raising, horse raising, sheep husbandry,
grape growing or some other pursuit. In
quiries concerning the climate soil and
conditions of the several sections of the
state regarding schools transportation,
churches and public roads are In constant
and growing demand, and within the last
two months more than two hundred farms
have been sold to parties from other states,
while the number of visitors who want to
see the lands has grown to such proportions
that the commissioner finds little time in
which to do the work in his department.
1t is expected that the end of this year
will see great many families making their
homes here instead of the cold northwest.

A NOTABLE LAUNCHING
FOUR LARGE FERRYBoATS FOR
NEW YORK CITY SERVICE.

BALTIMORE. Md, April S.-Four large
ferry boats, the Manhattan, Brooklyn,
Queens and Bronx, for the city of New
York, were to have been launched today al
Sparrow's Point, but only the first named
vessel was gotten into the water, the Bronx
having stuck on the ways, and despite
every effort on the part of the Maryland
Steel Company, the contractors, was still
there when darkness set in, thus making
it necessary to suspend operations until
Monday next.
No effort was made to launch the Brook
Ign and Queens because the Bronx was in
the way. Manager r. X. Woods of the
Steel Company says the cause of the diff
Guilty was the fact that the Bronx was too
light, not having her machinery aboard as
the Manhattan had.

BALTIMORE, Md, April s-Four large
ferryboats - the Manhattan BROOKLYN,
Queens and Bronx-for the city of New
York were launched today at the marine
department of the Maryland Steel Com
pany at Sparrows Point, in the presence OF
a number of New York city officials and
several hundred visitors.
The boats We're launched one at time,
and as each left the ways it received a sa-
lutte from the tugs and steamers in the
vicinity, while the spectators on land
cheered and waved their handkerchiefs.
The New York visitors as well as those
from other cities, We're the guests of the
city of Baltimore, being welcomed on their
arrival by Mayor II. Clay Timanus Rep
resentative Frank c. Wachter, Judge Henry
Harlan and other officers, and at Sparrow's
Point by Gov. Edwin Warfield and large
contingent of leading citizens, including
many ladies. For Sparrow's Point 1t was
gala day, almost the entire population turn
ing out to witness the launching.
After the launching the visitors were en-
tertained at luncheon on board the Man

Admiral NJ. T. Endicott of Washington,
chief of the bureau of yards and docks,
was among those present.
New Boats Are Fast.
The four ferryboats launched in Balti-
more today are intended to replace several
old boats now running between the Bat
terry and Staten Island, which line has been
purchased by the city of New York. A
fifth boat is in process of construction
here 1t Is asserted that the new boats
will make the trip to Staten Island in %
minutes, though the old craft now require
35 minutes. New terminals and slips are
yet to be constructed by the city.

The union scale for carpenters Is 4.50 per

Meningitis Scare.
During this week considerable alarm has
prevailed over the appearance of the
dreaded cerebro-spinal meningitis. The
health authorities have warned the public
to have general cleaning of back yards,
cellars, alleys, etc. and the police depart
ment has been called upon TO see that all
health ordinances are rigidly enforced.
1t was at first thought that the disease
was brought here from New York, but the
development of other cases brought out the
fact that 1t was of local origin. Both state
and city health officials express confidence
that no epidemic will result, yet they ad-
wise that the utmost care be observed in
keeping all premises in clean condition.

CUMBERLAND. Md, April S.-A strike
is on at the Ocean Mine of the Consolidation
Coal Company, the drivers refusing to work
because of the discharge of one Of their
number. The miners. as a result were
obliged to go home. Supt. Lyons does not
think there was any difficulty over the
hours of labor, but the miners contend
otherwise, claiming that the drivers are
called for longer hours and more work
without extra pay. There was short

trouble being about weight. Mine Inspector
Murphy found the scales correct and the

1t is believed that the new primary cleo
ton law for Allegany county will be in
operative. 1t is claimed that while the
execution of the law is in the hands of
the board of election supervisors, it con-
ficts with the general law of the state de-
filming the duties and powers of the latter.
Further, the law calls for an expenditure
estimated to be at least 5000 TO conduct
the primary elections and the inference is
that it is to be met out of the general fund
of the county. Should the county commits
sioners levy 5000 in addition to the 5000
required for general election expenses, it
is believed an injunction would be sued out.
and should they refuse. a mandamus pro-
ceeding is expected. In any event. many of
the politicians believe the primaries, after
all, will be conducted in the old manner.
