A Stirring Peroration.

The Governor took advantage OF this
phrase to make one Of the most beauti-
full and soul-strring perorations ever
heard in Bedford county. He compr-.
mented the grave and gifted Phil. McKin-
ney. who though knowing Senator Mar
tins qualifications intimately. had de-
clined to appoint him Senator in the face
of the endorsement OF the Legislature.
Referring to General Eppa Hunton as
''the hero Of Balls Bluff and the in
trepid figure at Gettysburg, a soldier IN
war and great statesman In peace.
he aroused his hearers to high pitches OF
enthusiasm. Yet General Hunton had
been displaced for a man absolutely with
out legislative experience. Holmes Con-
rad. he said. triumphant and radiant in
brilliant powers had been defeated by
a man yet unknown to the public OF
Virginia, but wnen the Governor came
to Fitzhugh Lee, he reached the bril-
liant climax OF his powerful address. and

When the Governor was about to con-
clude, he invited questions from his hear
ers. There was one, and this was an
swered amid prolonged cheering. Prof.
Smith. OF Randolph Macon Academy, de-
sired the Governor to say why he had
sent so many troops to Roanoke on the
occasion OF the hanging OF the negro
fcnd there last year. The Executive said

A Successful Experiment.

The Nome Nugget states that the
reindeer on the Seward peninsula of
Alaska now number 10000. Of these
all but 1900 are natives of the soil, the
1900 representing those which were i'm
ported few years ago from Siberia in
order to establish a reindeer industry
for the benefit of the Eskimo. 3D..
The theory that domesticated rein
deer would p rove a blessing to the ma
tives Of western Alaska has justified
the effort and the expense incurred.
The domesticated reindeer is a profit
able animal to own. He feeds himself
summer and winter. He furnishes to his
owner food, shelter, clothing and trans
portation, and he does it with practi-
cally no help from his owner.
Commissioner Harris and District
Agent Sheldon Jackson have figured
out how Alaska can subsist millions Of
these useful animals and, while thei1
figures may never be realized, the value
of the reindeer to Alaska has been dem
onstrated. The reindeer should BIZ
propagated not only for the benefit Of
the Indians, but for the benefit Of the
white ettlers as well, who are now
coming to recognize the practical value

MERCY IS SHOWN
IN F0OTE CASE
FORT SMELLING LIEUTENANT
NOT DISMISSED FROM ARMY.
Court Martial Found Him Guilty of
Mishandling Funds in the Philippines
and Voted for His Dismissal-Presi-
dent Commutes Sentence to a Loss Of
115 Numbers in Rank.

The announcement of the action OF
the president in the case of Second
Lieutenant M. G.. Foote, who is sta
toned at Fort Smelling, has been re-
ceived with much interest by the Off
GERS there. 81,
Lieutenant Foote was tried by gen
eral court martial at Fort Smelling sew
eTal weeks ago on charges alleging en-
bezzlement of public moneys for which
he was accountable in the. Philippines,
false official certificates to his superior
officers and failure to render the reports
ana returns for ppSbllea moneys ana PROP
while there.
According to the Washington. dis
patches, he was convicted by the gen
eral court martial and was sentenced to
be dismissed from the army. The pres
ident, however, has been merciful in
Lieutenant Foote'S case, and, while ap-
proving the action of the court, he has
committed this severe sentence to loss
of lis files.
Even the latter punishment is very
severe. Officers are all arranged on a
regular list according to rank and are
promoted in turn as their names come TIC
the top of this list. There are over 400
second lieutenants Of infantry and
Lieutenant Foote was only about thirty
from the top of the list. He would
therefore have been promoted very soor
to be first lieutenant. By this reduc:
ton his promotion will be deferred unit
115 lieutenants shall have been passed
over his head, a loss Of about three
years. rank.
The case has been one that has ex
cited great deal of interest on account
of the prominence of the young officers
family and Of sympathy for him, be
cause it was claimed that his duties II
the Philippines were beyond his years
and would have taxed the capabilitie:
of a much more experienced officer
Of about $1,10O, for which he was &C
made good to the United States, ove1
$500 was lost through no fault Of the
young officer, except that he. failec
to report the loss and have it invest1
gated at the time.
