Henry interested himself greatly In the ed
ucation of his young children. He en-
gagged for them the services Of Thomas
Campbell, the poet who was, however, pre-
vented from fulfilling his engagement by
the advice and authority of an elder broth
er. The arrangement had been made
through Robert Campbell, another brother,
who afterward married Sarah Butler. the
daughter of Patrick Henry, and lived at the
county seat of Charlotte. Two other daugh-
tiers were married at Red Hill during the
lifetime of their father. Dorothea Spotts-
wood whose classic features have been pre-
served by Sharples, married her cousin.

cases of mammals whose skins have never
been mounted and which have to be kept
merely for study. And even this is getting
rapidly difficult, as there is scarcely any
space in which to lay out specimens.
In addition to the bird and animal skins,
there are thousands of gallons of alcoholic
specimens. These have to be stored in
close proximity to other valuable specimens,
so that were fire once to get started in
this collection it would mean an absolutely
irreparable loss to the museum. Most mu-
seums have fireproof separate buildings in
which to keep their alcohol specimens, but
Il has never been possible in Washington.
The local fire underwriters consider it an
undesirable risk, and want about $40 per

as for an ordinary premium on a CONNER

be largely remedied when the museum gets

In the two great store houses Is
only an lnnnitesimal part of the
collections under the care Of the regents.
This has been the case even from the time
the National Museum building was COM
pleted. for the erection of the building was
delayed so long fat the collections had
largely outgrown the accommodation Tor
them before the new building was finished
Now that the new museum building Is
growing in the mall the outlook Is a little
better, but even when that ia finished there
will stu be carloads Of material that can

OF course the collections on exhibition in
the National Museum and the Smithsonian
are changing all the time. New cases are
being added new series of exhibits are be
ing arranged, and still. faster than the ex-
hibits can be placed in the already over
crowded halls. there are coming fresh bales
and packing cases that have to be stored
away in Easements and rented structures to
keep the exhibition halls from being abso-

sHERMAN's CONFESSION.

In another column James Sherman
gives the hOrrifyne details OF the
crime of which he is self condemned
This community has been so shocked
by the latest revelations that it would
gladly Danish all thoughts of the re-
voting affair from their minds. There
is not much more TO be said. The
young man must be left with the
court and his God. The strain upon
everyone has been hard to endure
and especially has it been severe upon
the parents of the hayward boy, who
fol years had been their hope and joy.
Only mother can fathom the depths
of a mothers feelings in such an hour
as this.
The lesser crimes sink into insight
ficance and no one VINO has sustained
losses through him have anything but
sorrow in their hearts for whatever
fate awaits the young criminal.
1t is the old, old story. Gambling,
bad associations and the fascination
of chance started young Sherman on
his criminal career. The lesson should
take deep root in the hearts of all
young men occupying positions of
trust in this city.
And now while the guilty one must
suffer for his crime it is none the less
incumbent upon the public that those
who have been falsely accused of CON
nection with the crime be fully exon
Grated and restored to their former
status in society, whatever it may
have been.
1t is not a pleasant experience to
be accused and incarcerated for COM
plicity in such crime and no inno-
cent party should suffer in any way
from the untoward circumstances that
held him prisoner until he was
quickly proven guiltless.

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

~.
Record Herald, reviews Secretary Will
sons annual report relative to the
sugar beet industry. The secretary
shows that there were nine beet sugar
factories in the United States when
he was called to take charge of the
! Agricultural department, in 1897. The
total output of beet sugar that year
was 10000 short tons. A great change
has since taken place, he says. There
are now thirty-twO factories in Oper-
alton, and the estimated output for
1905 is 100000 tons. Extensive prac-
teal demonstrations, carried on
throughout the sugar beet belt, have
clearly and positively proved that if
the farmers will properly prepare and
fertilze the soil, SOW high grade Of
seed. and cultivate and care for the
growing crops after the methods rec
only will their yields be increased,
but their beets will be of better quail
ity and contain more sugar. while
the cost of production will be mater
tally decreased. The secretary is
greatly increased by the growth of the
industry. and says that one OF the OBJ
stacles to it's further development
has been the inability of the growers
TO get proper seed. One seed man was
unable to fill half of his orders, but
Secretary Wilson thinks that this
difficulty can be easily overcome.
The secretary does not describe the
effect of the Cuban reciprocity treaty
,lvon the sugar beet industry. He does
not refer to the subject; but it may
be assumed, from the sanguine way
in which he speaks of the prosperity,
that the reduction of the duty on Gu
| ban sugar has done it no harm. Nor
will the removal of the duty upon
Philippine sugar be of the slightest
consequences. Neither the cane grow
ers nor the beet growers of the Unit
ed States would ever know that the
duty was taken off Philippine sugar
unless they saw the announcement
in the newspapers.
| If the view of Mr. Curtis is correct
! as regards the proposed removal or
| the duty on the Philippine product
| then American growers have nothing
/ to fear in that direction Now that
! il is proposed to establish million
dollar beet sugar factory at Billings,
removal of this duty would render 1t
an Improbable enterprise owing to
the difference in the cost of labor here
and in the Philippines. There is
strong sentiment at Washington i'll
favor of the gradual reduction of the
Philippine duty, to remove 1t by
stages. so as not to affect American
producers. Until the matter is up and
thoroughly discussed can one be able
to form an opinion as to just what
effect it would have on the cane and
beet sugar interests of this country
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Curtis is
right in volunteering the opinion thai
the effect on American growers and
manufacturers would not be percepti
, BILE. The west is becoming more ant
more interested in the beet sugar in
; dustry and it is not likely that the
president would recommend or con
} gress take any action that would re
, tard it's growth or render the bust
ness Improbable.

COMING THROUGH MONTANA.

With the secretary of state today
there were filed articles of incorpora-
ton of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway company "Of Montana"
The filing of these articles dispels all
doubt concerning the intention of the
"St. Paul" to build an extension of
its system from it's present terminals
in South Dakota to the Pacific coast,
crossing Montana from east to west in
its course. The articles We're filed
with Mr. Yoder today and are mere
| ly formal, of course; placing them on
record makes the compliance with the
! laws requirements complete. The
| significance of today's action on the
part of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul's officials is that the road is
coming westward and that it is com
ing westward through Montana.--Hel

If the road touches at Miles City

most sanguine that it will it will mos
likely take a northerly course through

THE HELENA RATE CONVENTION.

1t is a matter of regret that there |
was not a larger representation of
the state in attendance at the Hell |
ana rate convention. AS matters now
stand there is some doubt as to the
sentiment of the people as regards a
part of the action taken by those pres
ent.
According to one report, tine most
important resolution, that seeking to
bring about an extra session of the
legislature. was voted upon and pass
ed by gathering of only thirty
three men. Twenty eight voted for the
measure and five voted against it. or
the thirty-three who voted twelve
were citizens of Lewis and Clark
county leaving but twenty-one to
voice the opinion of the rest of the
state
Just how this number could go
ahead and commit the legislature, con-
sisting of nearly a hundred members,
to the proposition of calling an ex-
ira session of the Legislature is not
clear, and that, too. when only twelve
counties, out of the twentysix were
represented.
We believe the people generally
throughout the state are in favor of
the movement for federal regulation
of railroad rates. And it may be that
there are instances of eXtOrtiOn III
the fixing of local rates, in fact there
would seem to be no doubt about it
But is the matter so urgent it would
be wise to call special session o
