such opportunities as will encourage
him to stay here within the State OF
his nativity or adoption, carve out q
successful career and become fac'

monwealth to which he owes his
allegiance. Capital and labor thus
combined increase the basis OF TAXA

thereby secure funds which we may
apply to the improvement OF our
schools and roads. In 1860 virginia
emerged from war desolate and devds

and women unbroken. She has met
the changed conditions courageou' ly
and has made steady and rapid pro
gress. We Of the present generation
should take no backward step In this
respect.

The principal work of the fourth an
nual convention of the Virginia Anti
Saloon League, in session in the city
of Lynchburg last week, was the adop-
ton of the report of the committee on
legislation, read by the chairman,
Judge Mann, author of the Mann law,
and a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. The report
recommends that committee OF not
less than five be appointed to secure
the passage by the Legislature OF such
bills as will carry out the following
recommendations:
To amend the existing law so as to
bring distillers under the operation OF
the Mann law.
9 To amend the law relating to
social clubs, so as to prevent infringe
ment of dry territory and to prevent
the abuse of the privileges they now
epioy and the use of said privileges for
saloon purposes.
8. To enact law requiring saloons
i'm cities and towns to close not later
than 10 p. M. That there shall be no
obscene pictures upon the walls or
elsewhere; that the saloon shall be
entered by single door, and that no
screens or other distractions to view
shall be used.
4. That all beverages producing In
toxicat1on shall be declared to be
ardent spirits within the meaning OF
the law regulating the sale OF such
spirits.
s. That the present law regulating
the sale Of ardent spirits be so amend
ed as to provide such penalties by con-
finement in jail and bonds as will Sc
cure obedience to the law.

Wednesday, Jan. %, 1905.
To My Fellow Citizens of Virginia;

NV d termination to become can

been reached after careful considera-

The Supreme Court Of Virginia on
Thursday refused writ of error on
the amended petition Of j. Samuel
McCue and their decision leaves no
hope to him Of escape from the law;
penalty for his crime, the Governor
having intimated very clearly in grant
ing the respite that further interfer'
ence need not be expected Of him. The
court was unanimous.
Judges Kelth's opinion, In when
the members of the court concurred, II
summed as follows: "In obedience &c
the mandate of the statute and IN stric'
accordance with established precedent
having given careful consideration t(
the petitions and record, and being o.
the opinion that no error is shown tC
the prejudice of the accused, we aolo'
by the order entered at a former DAY
Of the term and deny the writ o.
error"
AS to the merits Of the case, the opln
ion says: mo one can read the petl
tions for a writ of error in this case
without being satisfied that the ac
cused had every advantage that coui'
accrue to him from the efforts OF ss'u''
and able counsel. The evidence pre-
cludes every reasonable hypothesis o.
innocence and points with unerrlns
certainty to the guilty man. LIZ
record discloses a homicide, remarka
BILE only for its atrocity, save IN 'n'
fact that it was committed by a mem
Der of the profession of law, who nae
been entrusted by his fellow-citizen'
with responsible office, ana 'na' 'A'

the PRIMITIVE OBSERVATORY OF
JEYp0RE.

Jeypore is the pleasant, healthy capt.
tai of one of the most prosperous IN
dependent States of R%ajputana, India,
and is a very bus. and important
commercial town, with large banks
and other trading establishments. 1t
is a centre of native manufactures, es-
pecially those of many kinds of jew
clry and of colored printed cloths and
muslins. The enameled work done
here is the best in India, and the cut
ting and setting of garnets and other
stones found in the State is a large
branch of industry. The crowded
streets and bazars are most lively and
picturesque. 1t is laid out in rectan-
gular blocks, and is divided by cross
streets into six equal portions. The
main streets are Ill feet wide and are
paved, and the city is lighted by gas.
The Maharaja's palace occupies the
centre of the city, which has a popu-
lation of about 143, 600.
In Jeypore is the famous Jautra or
Observatory, the largest of the five
built by the celebrated royal astrono-
mer, Jey Sing, the founder of Jey-
pore, who succeeded the Rajas of Am
Der in 1893. Chosen by Muhammad
Shah to reform the calendar, his as
Economical observations were formu-
lated in tables which corrected those
Of De la Hire. He built five observa-
tories - at Delhi, Benares, Muttra,
Ujjain and Jeypore. The observatory
at Jeypore is the largest of the five.
