Cadets Dismissed.

The situation at the Virginia MILL
tary Institute was relieved yesterday by
the dismissal of nine cadets who villinlly
abseuted themselves from inspection
Saturday afternoon. The pine were oil
the "oalh-bound 13" who had pledged
themselves not to apologize or in any
way make amends for nsubordinate con
duct on November 9 One member OF
the l9. Perry 5. Grant, of Richmond,
apologzed Saturday, and his stepiather'
DIR. Charles V. Darlington, OF Rich
moud, requested the young mans with
drawal from the school, which request
was complied With.
1t is said the act of absenting them
selves from inspection Saturday was
at the sugg' stion of DR.. CARING
ton. who advised the offending ca
dsts to this course, in order to force
their dismissal from the institute. All
the members of The third class, with the
exception of this small number, had
complied with the requirements OF the
board of visitors, who demanded an ex-
preston of regret for INSTRUMENTATION.
The 10, on account of the peculiar nature
oftheir pledge, felt that they could not
honorably recede from their position,
and they at once accepted the suggestion
t. violate an important regulation IN or
der to force their dismissal. that they
might save their classmates.
The names OF the dismissed boys ale
w. NJ. Bailey Gainesville, Texas;---
Brevard, Charlotte, n. c.; w. ii. Cot
tam, New Orleans; Marcellus Green,
jackson, Miss; Il. 5. Johns. Au.tin,
Texas; A. T. Riddicks, jr Suffolk, Va;
J. Robertson, Charlotte, n. e.; w. Y.
Smith, Wheeling, W. Va. W. II. Vir-
den, Jackson, Miss. .
1t is believed that the dismissal OF
these offenders will settle the question OF
characterization, which for weeks has
agitated the institute.

A Wizard from the Orient.

A Chinese conjurer named Ching
Ling Foo came to New York recently
and caused quite sensation. The pa
pers gave him lots of space and the pub.
lie talked about him. What he did
passed the bounds of the knowledge OF
other magicians and scientists haven't
got any theory so far concerning how
his tricks we're accomplished. Mildred
and Rouclere went TO see him several
times and got onto his tricks so cleverly
that they were able to very shortly dupll-
cate his receptions and will present two
or three of them here, or any special
ones that are requested by the audience.
1t is the policy of the management OF
Mildred aud Rouclere to present nothing
but what is new and their own and aside
from the duplication of some OF Ching
Ling Foo's magic, this policy will close
" be adhered TO on their engagement
here. A very strong company OF vaude-
vile artists also appears id their respec-
tive specialties. The Indications are
rather strong that these royal Illusion,
lists will draw the biggest audience OF
the season on next Thursday.

HOW THEY DEBATE IN ARKANsAs

From the Kansas City Sentinel
 That's pretty lively joint debate over in Arkansas between Governor Jeff Davis and Attorney General Bob" Rogers, both candidates for governor. It shows what we may have missed in this state. In a recent meeting, here's what the governor said:
 "l see the attorney general here today, and I am going to tell you what he did llAs morning. He met me in the hall of the hotel at Higginson, in the presence of William A. Miller of Searcy. and In a boisterous way told me If I said certain things here today in my speech as to his private character he would kill me. What do you think of an attorney general run ming for governor going around threaten ing to commit murder? I want to say that I do not think Bob Rogers ought to be elected your governor
 Look at me-" answered MT Rogers, turning to the crowd. Do I look like a dangerous man7 Search me and take the cannon off me-" Turning again to Gov ernor Davis, MT. Rogers said: XII your Why, I can take corn cob with a light ming bug on the end of 1t and make you jump into the Arkansas river.'

len Cents or No Sale.

Liverpool and Manchester formerly named the price of cotton. This was long ago, when this country was as a whole poor. It Is now the wealthiest country in the world. and New York and New Orleans long ago supplanted the English cities in naming the price of the great southern staple.
 The farmers are not, however, con tent, to let spectators, who are in turn bulls and bears. fix prices, and they have resolved to hold from market their cotton until II cents can be received for it. In Montgomery county, in this state, the landlords have met and agreed to- Seceive cot ton from tenants at 10 cefts ad this step takes from the market distress cotton. Receipts are decreasing, and If the farmers keep stiff upper lip receipts may be reduced to figures that will remind the English spinner and the American speculator alike that the producer may take hand in naming prices.
 One thing is certain. namely, the average producer may not get Il cents for his cotton, but he will not sell a bale at less than 10 cents This is the general determination of southern farmers, both big and little, and Man chester and New York may as well ac- cept 10 cents as the souths irreduci- ble minimum, no matter what the out turn of the crop may prove to be.

Cosmopolitan.

The October Cosmopolitan has arrived. First in the list of contributions comes an illustrated character sketch or fau' Morton, undoubtedly the most interest ing personality in the American busl- ness world today. It Is done by Edwin Lefevre, the novelist and writer on financial topics. William K, stewart contributes an estipnas e of Mayor Weav- CT of Philadelphia which presents nm in new light and makes his recent political movements the more easily un- derstood Other illustrated articles or interest in this number are My Life on the vesuvian Lid" by Prof. R. V. Mat teuci, a distinguished Italian scientist who has lived for years on the crater edge for purposes of study and ooserva- tion As probably no other living pelng leads a more perious existence. the de- tails of his daily life form truly excit- ing narrative. Every woman will want to read Creating Fashions in Dress which, with many pictures, tells how the styles are evolved in Paris. Elizabeth Meredith, the writer shows also what great influence American women exer- else in determining the style Maj. Gordon W. Lillie presents in short illustrated article a plan for restoring the buffalo. our typical American big game. to the western prairies-a matter of interest to all sportsmen and lovers of animals. The Issue contains an un- usual amount of humorous material, In the first place Is story by w. w. Ja- cobs, with whom the Cosmopolitan an- nounces an arrangement for MT. Jacobs future work. Next comes an amusing sketch by Booth Tarkington entitled "Temptation of Young Author" and James l.. Ford contributes the first of a series of papers. Seeing the Real New York-A Trip on the Rubberneck Wag- on Through the Money Center" It Is all very laughable and brimful of time ly references to matters now in the pub lie eye-treated with brilliant satiric wit. Other fiction Is "The Wider Bounds;S by Bailey Willard; Some Unoanny Tales by Ambrose Bierce -four stories of mystery) and ''In the Money Mill" by George Grantham Bain.
 Besides these, we may note "The Crisis in Scandinavia" by H. H. Boyesen, sec ond; sTwo Girls in a Canoe," by 1sobel Knowles; Alfred Henry Lewis Story of Paul Jones'" and the very exciting "Confessions of a New York Detective" are continued.

How Long Should Man Live?
Trom Harper,s Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
 Against cold, heat and famine the white corpuscles are powerless, but they inter- vene for the protection of the organism in the case like a razor scratch or a stroke of apoplexy. They also struggle against the microbes of putrefaction. When the human body Is invaded by such lethal microbes, the phagoeytes rush to its defense, and, in so far as lies In their capacity, they not only kill, but swallow and digest the hostile germs. This war fare is taking place necessarily in the pores of the skin and of the digestive tube, in the spongy walls of the mouth and nostrils and throat and lungs-wher- ever, indeed, the attacking microbes seek to find an entrance For once that we are protected by spoon-admnistered medi- cine we are protected a thousand times by the power of an innumerable army of miscroscopic body-guards. Professor Met chnikoff's latest researches have shown that 1t should be possible so to. avail our selves of our knowledge of the struggle between microbes and phagocytes as to be able to arm the body for great length of time against old age itself. He believes that man does not now live the natural span of life, but that the score of years now allotted to the stage of middle age" should and will be at no distant day extended to three or four score years.
