4 KANSAS OUTRAGE.
Wilson'S Drug Store, The Chronicle
and Wles' Commission Store De-
stroyed.

The State of Kansas is preparing to
segregate the races in her pubic
schools, and Mr.. I l. Dayhof, State
superintendent, is sending out letters
of inquiry as to the proposed policy
to superintendents in other States.
Hon. J D. Eggleston, Jr., got one
yesterday, and its tone is surpris-
ing in that it asks if Virginia has
separate schools.
Here is the letter:
There is movement in Kansas
looking toward the segregation OF the
races in the public schools where the
per cent. Of colored population Will
warrant the separation.
What is the condition Of affairs III
your State? Have you segregation of
races9 If so, is it advisable? Do you
personally favor it? What is the con-
dition of public sentiment with ref
erence to the same? Have you any
laws bearing on the subject? 7 would
appreciate very much any informa-
ton that you may have on the sub
ject. Thanking you in advance, ETC.
The communication is rather anus
ing to virginians. Mr.. Eggleston has
replied very frankly and in a few
clear sentences. Here is his reply in
full:
.Your letter of the 21st instant
has been received. Virginia has al
ways had separate schools for white
and colored children This is in every
way advisable. I think. Public
sentiment in Virginia is a unit in IA
vor of this policy. The law on the
subject is embodied in our Constitu-
ton, which says: "White and color
ed children shall not be taught in
the same schools"
There were some hearty laughs
concerning the correspondence
around the Capitol, but it is thought
the letter received by Mr.. Eggleston
from his kansas contemporary was
copy of a general one which went
out to other State superintendent
Richmond Times.

.In these days of rush and hurry
courtesy is often forgotten. In the
mad, pell nell rush of our life little
things are done to offend that we
rather remained undone. A hastily
eaten meals and. its resultant head
ache may cause us social or financial
loss. The wise man or woman is the
one who relieves little ills of this sort
by a little dose of Kodol for dyspep-
sia. It digests what you eat and
puts your stomach back into shape.

"A large fleet of coastwise GOA

from New England points and it is
expected that the greater portion
of the feet will arrive here within
the next few days. Owing to the
adverse winds which have prevailed
Tor the past week most of the
schooners. have been delayed at ports
along the Atlantic. but they will pro

An unusually large number q.
schooners and harges are now under
charter to load coal at this port and
from present indications the remark.
able coal record oi May Of this year
Will be smashed during the next
month.
The output of coal during the pres.
ent month has been below the usual
average for the reason that Il number
OF schooners and barees chartered to
load here have not yet pit in an APP
pearance. Those vessels will hardl?
be loaded now before next month
and this will help swell the grand
output for August
Up to the present time large
amount of coal has been shipped
from this port during the present
year and 1t Is expected that all pre-
Vlous annual records in the shipment
of coal from Newport News will be
broken this year. AS soon rs the
new coal pier. now building for the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, south OF
pier, No. 10, is completed, the output
OF coal ut this port will increase
about one-fifth and this city will
rank ahead of every other port along
the Atlantic coast for coal shipments
with the exception, possibly, of New
York and Philadelphia.
