Robbery and Burglary.

4 reader Of The Times-Dispatcl, wishes wishes
70 know the distinction In law. between '',se1
robbery and burglary.
The common law definition OF robpt PEI
IS "the felonious and forcibe taking
from the person of another Of goods OF
money to any value, by violence or put
Fting III fear.
Burglary is the breaking and entering
of the mansion house Of another, in the
night With intent to commit some felony.
N. The Virginia statutes are very severe
on both robbers and burglars. Section
1914 OF the Code provides that III any
person commit robbery, by partial strangu-
lation or suffocation, or by striking or
beating, or by other violence to the per-
son, or by threat or presenting Of fire. fire.
arms. he shall be punished with death;
Or, in the discretion OF the Jury, by con-
sflnement in the penitentiary not less than
eight nor more than eighteen years. II
any person commit robbery In any other
mode, or BY any other means, he shall
be confined in the penitentiary not less
than five nor more than ten years.
( Section 1904 of the Code provides that
EE..lf any person be guilty Of burglary, he
shall be punished with death; or, in the
discretion OF the Jury, by confinement In
the nenitentiary not less than five nor,
more than eighteen years. It is further
provided that If any person break or
enter the dwelling house Of another In
the nighttime, with the intent to COM
NIT larceny, he shall be deemed guilty
Of burglary. though the thing stolen or
Intended to be stolen be of less value
than twenty dollars. sig:
It will be seen from this that II any per-
son "hold up another on the streets
or elsewhere, and rob or attempt to rob
him. he subjects himself toNthe death
sentence And II any person enter
dwelling In the nighttime for the pur-
pose of larceny. no matter whether he
actually steals or not, he subjects himself
to the death sentence.
If the person who broke into the dwell
ing OF Mr.. English. on Grove Avenue
be apprehended and brought into court,
he will be tried for his life, and the
chances are that the jury will hang him.
Burglary ought to be punished with
death The scoundrel who enters a
dwelling in the night-tine for the pur.-.s
pose Of robbing 1t does 80 with murder
in his heart, and he will commit murder
If 1t be necessary to carry out his de-
sign.

Bryan and the Donkey.

Mr. William Jennings Bryan. Jr.. who
has just returned from a trip abroad
relates that while In Manila his father
mounted q donkey and attempted to take
a ride into the surrounding country. but
the donkey became erratlc and buckcd,
and the great commoner was thrown TO
the ground, 1T is further related that
when Mr.. Bryan hit Mother Earth, lie
remarked; This Is the third time 1
have been thrown bya donkey"
Now. 1t is well known that the donkey
Is the animal which the wicked have
selected and employed to symbolic the
Democratic party. and Mr.. Bryan must
have had that fact In mind when Nc
made the remark attributable him In
the story. IT was hardly fair however

Bryan upon it's back so faithfully for two
campaigns. and did Its best to convey hin

Waste Lands in SSpotsylvania
County. I, .45

Editor OF The Times .Dispa tcll us
Sir,-I am glad that your excellent
journal. ever alert to the interests of
Virginia. has OF late been giving the sub
ject OF waste lands In rural sections at
5tention. Rejecting minds need not be
reminded that the waste, uncultlvated
tracts of land, so abundant in our State,
us n serious matter. for such dead un-
productive property Is not only useless,
but an expense to- the owners. AS a
travelling minister, with a charge cover
ling a considerable territory Of Spotsyl-
ivana county, this writer sees often vast
acres Of good lands that are not $culti-
yated. and looking upon SO much unused
and idle property, tho mind often goes
to the congested quarters Of our cities,
where there ara SO many poor people,
many Of whom are dependent upon char
ity to get the necessities Of life. Out
here lands are plentiful and cheap. and
good water. with tthe many other good
things Of rural llfe,#are to be- had In
abundance. This section seems to be
especially adapted to growing corn, that
noble and useful product OF the farm SO
popular in city and country. j SHAH not
attempt in this communication to enumer-
ate the special advantages Of this par
ticular section, my purpose being simply
5to direct attention In a general way to
tie sadly neglected facilities and adyan-
tages OF our Virginia farms. which have
been so much neglected by our people
lin their mad rush to the cities. The
great question is, How can we get peo-
pie in the crowded cities, so many OF
whom can with difficulty get the necessi-
ties OF life, to be induced to settle on
tho waste lands and build up prosperous
homes? 81

ing the problem.

are needed to utilize these waste lands
and good transportation facilities are n
wonderfully good inducement to make
people settle down and be satisfied with
their environments. S.
Let me say, In conclusion. that my pur-
pose is not to deprecinte tho great adyan-
teges OF the city, but our rural sections
can and ought to be Improved. ss
