VIRGINIA Items.

Bishop Alfred M. Randolph, of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese OF
Southern Virginia, has been invited
to deliver the Shakespeare memorial
sermon next year at StratfOrd-on-
Avon. England, the Sunday after
Easter.
Two only of the six procrastinating
legislators have failed to file accounts
of their election expenses, in accord
ance with the provisions of the Banks
dale law and Secretary of the Com
monwealth is waiting patiently for
these two to come to taw. If they do
not, they may be prosecuted and sub
jected to fine of $1,000,
A letter received at the jamestown
Exposition headquarters from Presi-
dent Harry St. George Tucker, writ
ten from London before his departure
for Berlin, conveys the intelligence
that the British military detachment
which will represent Great Britain's
army here in 1907 will be commanded
by Lord Roberts, who commanded the
English troops in the Boer War
and who is affectionately known as
" BObs."
The jamestown Exposition COM
pany has received a check from the
state treasurer for $4,000, the first
installment of the appropriation of
$780, 600. BY the terms of the bill
making the appropriation, 25 per cent.
of the amount was to be paid as each
% per cent. of the capital stock was
paid in. The company has received
$3.50 600 of the subscriptions to the
stock and therefore the state sent the
$50, GOO. 1t is expected that the bal
ance of the stock will be paid for very
shortly and the state will then pay
the balance of the appropriation.

Resolutions of Respect.

Whereas God in His wisdom has
seen fit to remove from our Council
by death our esteemed brother, H.
Thomas White, therefore be it re-
solved
1st-That by his death Parksley
Council No. ia, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, has
been deprived of a beloved brother,
and the community of worthy friend
and neighbor.
2nd-That his family have lost a
kind and loving husband and fond pa
rent, the Church one of its most use
full and loyal members and the Sun
day School faithful and devoted SUI
perintendent.
2nd-That we tender the family Of
our deceased brother our heartfelt
sympathy in their affection.
That a copy of these resolutions be
recorded in our minutes, a copy sent
to the widow and also copy be sent

Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr.,
recently tried by court-marual for
causing the death of Nidshipman
Branch at the Annapolis Naval Acad-
envy, was acquitted of manslaughter
but found guilty of conduct to the
prejudice of discipline and good order
and of violating the eighth article for
the government of the navy by de-
nOuncing Midshipman Branch and en-
gaging in a fight with him. The sem
tence of the cOurt-martial which tried
him was that he be confined to the
limits Of the Naval Academy for one
year and be publicly reprimanded by
the Secretary of the Navy, which has
been so amended by the Secretary
as to allow hims to go on the annual
cruise.
The finding of the court seems to
have been the only one that could be
reached. That Meriwether was
obliged to fight, no one can question,
who has read the evidence in the
case. 1t was according to the "code"
prevailing at the Academy that he
should do so and it would not have
been just, therefore, that he should
be made to pay the penalty of Gus
tom forced upon him, as it seems to
have been upon every pupil of the
Academy. 1t was not proven too that
he killed his antagonist and he was,
therefore, entitled to the benefit of
the doubt and OF acquittal, and if it
had been proven then the real blame
was upon the authorities who for
years have permitted the students to
fight in the dangerous and inhuman
way.

In a late issue of the Harper's
Weekly the statement is made that
thousands of policy-hOlder, in the big
insurance companies now under in
vestigation are permitting their poll
cies to lapse, and the folly of such &
course is presented by that journal Ill
the following:
This is so stupid as to be, from the
standpoint of pure self-interest, al
most criminal. There is no question
and has been and can be no question
of the sclvency of the companies.
Enough has developed to prove be-
You'd the shadow of doubt that the
total of moneys wasted and not earned
that might have been earned is a baga-
telle in proportion to the enormous
assets. Every dollar of insurance out
standing is good as gold whether
new policy be written or not. IL is
the uttermOst folly, therefore, for any
one to sacrifice the slightest portion
of what he has paid in. 10 continue
payment Of premiums and demand
restitution and reform is the only sane
policy"
The investigation shows, that while
reckless extravaganza has been in
dulged in by the old officials, that the
insurance companies are in fine fnan-
cial condition and there is, therefore,
no reason for alarm. The caution,
that will naturally follow this investi-
cation, gives the assurance that they
will be better managed in the future
and that the policy-holders will be
better protected than in the past.

Congressional.

Senator Gallinger has introduced a
bill providing for the protection of
the lives of the President and Vice
President or any person in line of sue
ceSsiOn for these offices, and any for
elgn ambassador or minister in the
United States.
Senator Martin announces that he is
"unequiVOcally an advocate of rate
legislation. not only advocate giving
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion the rate-making power, but also
the power to see that a fair ard rea-
sOnable railroad service is given the
people"
Members of the House and Senators
are Wrathy about the change Post
master General COrtelyOu has made
in the appointment of presidential
pOstmaSters. Recommendation of
these appointments are made to the
President and followed by him. Here
tofOre upon the expiration of the four
year term, the Congressman in whose
district the office is located, or the
Senator who may claim the patron
age, has been notified of the expira-
ton and asked to make a recon-
mendatiOn. HencefOrth these law
makers will be notified of the eXpira-
ton of term, but politely told eff
there is no serious objection to the
contrary the present incumbent will
be re-appOinted."
Minority leader Williams did not APP
point Virginian to any other position
than those which they now hold. The
Virginia delegation endorsed Mr..
Glass for place on the Public Build
ings and Grounds, and Mr.. SOuthall
for place on the Committee on Post
Offices and PostrOads, but Mr. Will
liams didn'tappoint them. Virginia has
lost two of the most important assign
ments she has had ranking member
ship in POstOffices and POstrOads and
a place on Ways and Means-and will
have nothing in lieu of them. 1t gives
Virginia about the fewest good as
signments the State has had in more
than thirty years.
Bills have been introduced by Hon.
William A. Jones
For the relief of Joseph T. Chance
and the heirs of John r. Burton.
For the relief of David r. Mister.
Granting a pension to John II. Ed
wards.
For the relief of Thomas Johnson.
For the relief of John T. Spence.
For the relief of L. j. Spence.

The Virginia State Library has re-
ceived from London a handwritten
copy of the official and true record Of
the house of burgesses Of Virginia for
1776. The event is of great historic
significance. Portions Of the record
of the famous old body, which ante
dates all other English institutions in
the world, and which was in existence
before the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers at Plymouth, have been
stored away in the library for years.
Frequent gaps in the record made a
complete collection of them out of the
question.
