SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 1, 1906

Mr.. c. BAsCOMB SLEMP, OF Ablng-
don. the new republican State chairman
Of Virginia and son of his father, has
sent out circular letter TO the Virginia
oiiceholders setting forth that the work
of the new Virginia organization will be
greatly facilitated by assistance from
those enjoying federal offices, and call
Ing for contributions equal to 8 per cent.
OF salaries received from the government.
He .ays that the money will be used for
Legitimate purposes" and the laws OF
Virginia will be strictly adhered to IN
the use Of all money in the election.
The father of young Slemp is Congress
man Campbell Slemp, the real manager
of republican affairs in Virginia. de
quit the democratic party and became
one of Gen. Mahones lieutenants, fol-
lowing the general into the republican
field. in which he has continued. Gen.
Malone adopted the Assessment plan"
in Virginia, and by means of money and
sharp political practices held control Of
Virginia for few years. Col. Slemp is
irving to follow the role of Gen. Malone,
but he has not the ability Of the latter
and will fail signally in his at
tempt to republicanize Virginia. Then,
toe. there are now strict laws on the
statute books prohibiting the use ofmoney
for election purposes and the democrats,
who are in power should see that these
laws are enforced and bring Mr.. Slemp
to book should he attempt to violate
them. Report comes from southwest
Virginia to the effect that Col. Slemp
would not be in Congress, but for the
questionable manner in which many
capitation taxes were paid in his district.
But he is the gentleman who keeps
standing in the Congressional Record
the statement that he was once defeated
for the House OF Delegates by fraud

Russian Church For independence.

The movement for severing the tradi-
tional bonds between church and state
and giving to the Holy Orthodox Church
independence and self rule, which will
increase its influence among the people
of Russia, has found favor with an
important group of clergy at the capital
and a noteworthy document setting
forth the views of those OF this persua-
sion, which was presented 10 Metropoli-
tan Antonius, of st. Petersburg, has
been received with sufficient considera.
ton to insure its publication in the
Church Messenger, the semi-official or
gan of the diocese of st Petersburg and
one OF the most important religious
papers in the realm.
The document, after arguing that the
church should free itself of obligation
to The state in order to lend all IFS ener-
gies TO the prosecution of its own special
work and eliminate the suspicion that
its ministrations may be inclined toward
worldly ends and interests, demands the
summoning of general council OF the
church to consider means of attaining
the greater freedom required. The move
ment is believed to be now largely con.
fined to a group Of metropolitan clergy,
and it is not known to what extent the
priests in the country at large are af-
fected

PATRONS

The Providence opera House manage
ment has had an experience with a New
York ticket specuator. and handled the
affair in a manner which will undoubtedly
meet the approval Of the patrons OF that
house
When the sale for the +. s. Willard

who is said 10 belong I'm New York. pur-
chased siS worth OF the best seats In the
| house but I'm such a way that his opera
tlons were not disclosed TO the manage
ment.
The patronage was excellent: but II
did not afford the speculator the oppor-
tunity to squeeze the profit he had an
ticipated.
The result was that on Tuesday he en-
deavored 10 cash I'm at the box office for
tho seats held by him for the remaining
performances and was very properly
turned down.
That night a man and a woman en-
tered the house, followed by two colored
men, giving up four tickets. They ar
rived just after curtain had been rung
up on the first act.
The coupons held by the party called
for four seats I'm the front row, and these
they occupied. 60 the evident annoyance
OF those having adjacent seats.

Wednesday night the negroes came 10
the house alone. again timing their APP

act.
This time they were even more dis
reputably attired. wearing sweaters and

TELLS BY
THEIR SLEEP

81 can tell by my little
ones sleep when a cold is
coming on" said a mother
when speaking of the advance
symptoms of colds in children.
They toss about, are rest
less, their breathing is heavy
and there are symptoms of
night sweats. The next morn.
ing | start with SCOTS Emul-
sion. The chances are that
in a day or two they are all
over it. Their rest is again
peaceful and the breathing
normal"
Here's a suggestion for
all mothers. SCOTS Emul-
sion always has been almost
magical in its action when
used as the ounce of preven-
ton. Nothing seems to over
come child weakness quite so
effectively and quickly as
