Women were in the front ranks in the
battle which was waged at the polls. Wo-
men not only voted, but argued boldly and
loudly with men in front of the polling
places, and twice during the day the police
were forced to break up debates In order
to prevent a stampede of summer visitors

large and enthusiastic crowd was at the
court house this afternoon to hear a speech
by Senator Thomas s. Martin The meet
ing was called order at o'clock by Judge
]. B. McCabe. He was followed by Cap
tain j. W. Foster of Schuyler, Nelson
county. Va, who introduced the senator.
Captain Foster was formerly Loudoun
county man, and his short, appropriate adj
dress was received with much appreciation
by his old friends and compatriots.
Senator Martin was greeted with gu te an
ovation from the large audience. and was
given the closest and most devoted atten-
ton throughout his entire speech. 1t was
the second address the senator has made in
Leesburg, and, Judging from the SIZE and
appreciation of the audience present. ne
seems to be steadily growing in popularity
His address very much along the
same lines as his former speeches of this
campa gn. but was forceful and whitening
to a degree.
Some of his speech was devoted to an
swering the allegations made by Governor
Montague in his speeches and his argu-
ments against the senator's reelection. He
spoke particularly of the present primary
system. of which he said Montague was not
the author: of the school board. or educa

tague is the head; of the Montague ma
chine" the existence of which he emphat-
ically denies; of what he has voted for and
against in the Senate, and of what he
(Martin) has accomplished therein.
All of these matters have been spoken of
at length by Governor Montague in his
campaign speeches. and Senator Martin en-
deavored this afternoon to clearly explain
and state his position on these subjects.

THE PEACE SITUATION
REPORTED THAT ROOSEVELT
WILL TAKE A HAND IN GAME

A dispatch from Portsmouth, N. H, last
night says: President Roosevelt has de-
termned to make a final effort to prevent
the peace negotiations from ending in fall
ure. 1t is expected that he will have con-
ference within the next two days with the
representatives Of Russia and Japan for the
purpose of impressing on them the neces-
sity of reaching an amicable agreement.
The peace conference has adjourned until
next Tuesday, ostensibly to give time for
the preparation of protocol setting forth
the terms of agreement and disagreement.
According to the Russians the exchanges
are at an end and there will be no peace.
The Japanese. however. maintain through
their spokesman that there Is still hope.
Ihey base this opinion apparently on the
belief that their opponents bluffing and
will make concessions rather than see tn
negotiations fail.
But nobody seems to know definitely
what Tuesday has in store. In the four
days that will elapse before the Russian
and the Japanese ENJOYS reassemble they
will communicate with their respective gov
ernments and there will be plenty of time
to receive responses. There can be little
doubt that II was to afford this opportunity
for consultation with ST. Petersburg and
Tokyo that the plenipotentlaries agreed to
such long recess.
The chance for peace has grown stronger
with the continuance of the conference In
spite of statements to the contrary from
those most concerned, and it is believed that
one more effort will be made when the
ENJOYS face each other again, to reach a
satisfactory understanding
Time for Outside Influence.
The four days recess is important in an
other particular. 1t will permit an inter-
change of views between the neutral DOW
ers. Among those at Portsmouth whose
opinions are worthy of notice there is a
general expectation that every effort will
be made by some of the great European
nations and the United States to establish
common ground for bringing influence to
bear upon both Russia and Japan to pre-
vent the conference ending a.bortively.
From the very first the belief has been
prevalent here that President Roosevelt to
whose initiative the present exchanges are
due. would not stand idly by If he were
confronted by the fact that the penipo-
tentiaries of the far eastern belifgerents
were TO adjourn without having accom-
plished the momentous task which brought
them TO America. In the understanding
that prevails tonight, namely, that the con-
ference will be barren of results If some
thing TO change present conditions is not
done. now is the time for the President to
act Should he again assume the initiative
he would without question have the cordial
support of the German kaiser and perhaps
of the president of France The best I'M
official opinion is that he will act.

MARRIAGE A REAL LOTTERY
Wives Are Drawn by Pure Chance in
Some Parts CT the Rus
sian Empire.

In some parts of Russia queer game
ls still played which has much to do
with the future lives of the participants.
Some prominent person in the village
announces that the annual merry-mak-
ing will be held at his house. On the
appointed day the young men and
women hasten in huge excitement to
the meeting place.
There are songs and games and
dances, but they are simply a pre-
lude to the more important business of
the day.
When the time comes the hostess
leads all the girls into one room, where
they seat themselves on the benches.
Laughing and chattering, they are each
promptly muffled in sheets by the host
ess. The head and hair and figure are
completed covered, and when this is
done the girls resemble mummies.
The young men draw lots, and one by
one they enter the room where the muf-
fled girls sit. Helpless so far as sight
or touch goes, the puzzled lover tries to
find his favorite. Maybe she would help
him if her eyes were not hidden, but
she is as helpless as he. Finally be
chooses one, and then he may unveil
her. This is the critical moment, and
disappointment or rapture will be the
result OF seeing her face.
1t is the law and custom that the man
shall marry the girl he has picked out,
and if either backs out a heavy forfeit
must be paid.

SUGAR PINE OF CALIFORNIA
Vast Quantities of Timber Are Yet
to Be Found on the Pacific
Coast

In view If all the alarming reports
that have been published as to the demo-
lition of the white pine forests it is re-
markable that so few users of wood
have taken She trouble to find out that
on the Pacific coast there is vast guam
tity of lumber comparable in all essen
tial qualities with the best grades of
white pine aver produced in the east.
This is furnished by the sugar pine,
tree commoaly found along the western
slopes of ths Sierra Nevada mountains
in California. Even when compared
with the giant big trees of California,
with which 1t is often found the sugar
pine Is not puny, frequently reaching
diameter of ten feet and height of $50
feet. A single tree has been known to
yield $4,000 board feet of lumber, and
trees smaller than 1S inches are seldom
cut at present. These facts make 1t evil
dent that the sugar pine lumber in re-
spect to the sizes furnished, is far be-
yond the eastern white pine, even the
pumpkin pine of early days.
The wood is scarcely distinguishable
from white pine, being practically of the
same weight and the same color. 1t is
somewhat more resinous, however, and
perhaps a little brashier. 1t is soft,
straight-grained, and easily worked. 1t
is used for everything for which white
pine is available, and is especially valu-
able for pattern work. The wood is al
ready finding it's way into the eastern
markets, and, while it is not at all like
! ly that anything but the best grades can
be shipped long distances, there is no
doubt that sugar pine lumber will more
and more replace its eastern relative.
There is no difficulty whatever in fur
nishing plank up to four feet in width
and absolutely free from any defect, at
a price that is low for material of that
quality.
The cut of sugar pine lumber in Cali
tornia has increased from 55,000,00C
board feet in 1900 to 120,O0O,OOO feet in
1904, and it is estimated that there are
25,000, 900, 900 feet of it still standing.
