General Toe Wheeler.

General Joseph Wheeler, whose death
is announced this morning. was, after
the death of Fitz Lee. the South's most
an all-round American. and enjoyed the
respect and good will of his fellow
citizens of all sections.
General Wheeler was born in Augusta,
Ca, in 1896 and was graduated from
the West Point Academy in 1859. He
was assigned to the dragons. but he
had not been long in tho service of the
United States army when the South
seeded and. like General Robert L. Lee,
he resigned and entered the Confederate
| army There were few soldiers more
daring and more useful to Southern
arms. and none more loyal to the Con-
federate cause than Joe Wheeler. He
| saw active service from beginning to end
| He entered tho army as colonel of the
Nineteenth Alabama Infantry. In 1862
he was transferred to the cavalry COM
| Tennessee and Kentucky. Early in 1853
he received his commission as major
general, and in 1865 received his promo
ton to the rank of Northumberland.
At the death OF Stuart he became Sc
Nor cavalry general of the Confederate
armies.
But no matter what his rank and no
matter what his assignment, he was
an intrepid soldier and fearless fighter
After the war was ended he went into
law, and divided his time between the
practice of his profession and filling the
| soil, until he was called by his people
| to serve them in Congress. He had an
| honorable and useful career in that body.
1t was not until war broke out with
| Spain however, that he became thorough
| lyl nationalized He was appointed major
| general of United States volunteers and
assigned to the command of the cavalry
| division of the army of Santiago. Hc
saw much active service in Cuba, and
| arranged the surrender Of Santiago. He
| was afterwards transferred to the com
mand of the First Brigade, Second Divi-
| sion, Philippine Islands. and was in sew
eral ENGAGEMENTS during our troubles
there He afterwards made an inspection
of the Island of Guam, and finally, in
1900. he was made brigadier-general,
| United States army ),
Although in The Cuban campaign he
| sometimes referred to the spaniards as
Yankees" yet he was as loyal to the
| stars and stripes as he had been loyal to
the stars and bars, and by his soldierly
bearing and brilliant service won the
admiration and gratitude of the nation.
Grand old Joe Wheeler! 1t Is hard Il
realize that Your career is ended, tina
you have at last surrendered your com
mission and retired for eternity. But II,
matter under which banner, you Tough
a good fight; you kept the faith, and nov
that you have finished Your course, ther,
awaits you crown which tho righteous
Judge awards toall who serve their coun
try and their God with fidelity an,
conservation.

most remarkable bill was recently in

Representative Hunt, of Cincinnati. at

high social position in Cincinnati.
Under the provisions of the bill per-
son of sound mind, who is incurably sick
and suffering unbearable agony, may ask
q physician to administer an anaestbetic
until the patient loses consciousness and
dies. The physician must consult with
three other physicians before administer

We cannot believe however that the
vote represented the sentiment of the
House and that the bill will become a
law. 1t is bill pure and simple to legal
lie suicide. II a person requests that his
life he taken in this way, it is the same
thing as though he himself administered

The first communication printed in The
Times Dispatch in advocacy of compul-
sorry education in Virginia was from the
pen of Mr.. Roosevelt Page. We have an
other communication from Mr.. Page on
the same subject, to which we invite the
attention of the members of the General
Assembly and all who are opposed to
such % measure. M
Mr.. Page seems7to think that we have
abandoned the fight for compulsory edu-
cation. by no means. We shall con-
tinue the fight until it is won, for it will
be won by and By. But public sentiment
in Virginia is not yet ripe for it, If we
may judge by the voice Of the press. and
we do not believe in undertaking to en-
force any law which is not sustained by
the people. Therefore, we are asking the
Legislature to adopt Governor Monta-,
gue's Recommendation that there be a
general enactment, giving to each county
and city the option of adopting a COM
pulsory regulation in its own borders.

account Of the small and pleasant dose
that is needed.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, specSs before the eyes,
constipation, and All forms Of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this

So great is the demand for this spe-
cifc, that D. +. Davis has been able to
secure only limited supply, and every
one who il troubled with dyspepsia, con.
stipation or liver trouble should call
upon him Mt once, or send rs cents, and

DO not butter a cake pan for angel
cake. DO not use sour milk, buttermilk
or any so called prepared or self rails
ing fiours,
yenison has a delicious flavor when
properly cooked. but is extremely apt
TO be tough. A roasting piece should
lie in marinade OF oil and vlnegr at
east twelve hours before cooking time.
Twenty-four hours is better still.
The washing OF meat is detrimental

perhaps be necessary. AS a rule, how
ever, scraping the outside aud trim
ming it carefully are all that win be
needed. except occasionally in summer,
when 1t may be desirable to wash 1t.
