Socialist Congressional Candidate in

r. s Thomas, socialist candidate for
congress from the Sixth district, was
in GOOdland Saturday and spoke at
the court house in the afternoon and
in the evening. The meetings drew
but a small number Of people
Mr. Thomas, who said that his first
work Of public speaking began Just a
couple Of months ago. did not attempt
to launch very Tar out into the deep
OF campaign discussion. He Is no
doubt an earnest and sincere advocate
OF socialism so far as he knows It, but
we have never yet heard a public
speaker on socialism that elucidates
his philosophy so that it may be seen
to be practicable.
H. NJ Elliott, socialist candidate for
representative in this county, followed
Mr. Thomas and made a short speech.
There was also a speech by Eugene
V Debs and Gaylord Wiltshire-On

How to Use the Dictionary"

COL. BROOKE DEAD
FAMOUS VIRGINIAN MADE FIRST
IRON WAR VESSEL.

LEXINGTON, Va, December 15-Col.
John Mercer Brooke, aged nearly eighty
years, emeritus professor of physics at the
Virginia Military Institute, died suddenly
yesterday afternoon at his home here of
the infirmities incident to old age.
In his death Lexington loses her most
distinguished and celebrated citizen, His
name has been herafded throughout the
world as the inventor who changed ships
from wood to iron, by being the author of
the famous Virginia, or Merrimac and he
was also the inventor of the deep-sea
sounding apparatus which enabled scien-
lists to ascertain the nature of the oceans
bed and made practicable the laying of the
first cable between America and Europe.
With the breaking out of the civil war
Colonel. then Captain, Brooke entered the
confederate navy, and 1t was through his
construction of the Virginia that the prin-
ciple of submerged and extended rams was
applied which is used by the powerful war
ships of today.
He was the author of many improve
ments in guns-the Dahlgren cannon es-
pecially-shot, shell and other munitions
OF war. But for his inventive genius the
confederacy might sooner have ceased to
exist. The supply Of percussion caps for
markets was limited, and they were SNUG
gled through~the lines from the north at
great risk President Davis told his guam
dairy to Governor Letcher. who Immediate
ly replied that he could furnish a man who
could supply the need Brooke was sent
for and the matter laid before him. He
requested that until next morning be
granted him before he answered and with
It he brought plans for machinery to manu-
facture percussion caps.
After the war, in 1860, he was elected
professor OF physics at the Virginia Milf
tary Institute, where he became colleague
with his former friend and admirer. Com
modore Matthew Fontaine Maury, the
pathfinder Of the seas" Colonel brooke
received numerous medals and decorations
from foreign potentates and countries for

He was son Of Gen. George NJ. Brooke

The death OF Dr. Mary Putnam
J1cobl one OF the most honorcd
women OF New York City, calls 70
mind her eloquent appeal before the
Constitutional Convention Of New
York State in 1894 in behalf Of the
rights of the women OF her state.
She said in pari;-"Ail women-no
matter how well born, how well
educated, how intelligent, how rich,
how seryiceable 10 the State-have
been rendered the political interiors
OF all men, no matter how base
born, how proverty stricken, how
ignorant, how vicious, how brutal.
The pauper in the almshouse may
vote; the lady who devotcs herself
10 getting that almshouse made
habitable may not. The tramp who
begs cold yl,uals in the kitchen may
vote, the heiress who feeds him and
endows a university may not.
Communities are agitated and Legis-
latures convulsed TO devise means to
secure the right of suffrage to the
illiterate voter. And the writer's,
journalists, physicians, teachers, the
wives and daughters, aud com
panions of the best educated men in
the State are left in silence, blotted
out, swamped, o5literatcd, behind
this cloud of often besotted ignor-
ance. Today the immigrants pour

The white woman-the American
woman-the woman in whose veins
runs the blood of those heroic col
onists who founded our country, OF
those women who helped to sustain
the courage of their husbands in the
Revolution; the woman who may
have given the flowers Of her youth
and health in the service Of our
Civil War, this woman is excluded.

gays that his SON was not hunt

that soon after they started no the

shot gun by the boys. When the

THE
The WOndroas Wizards Of the Flying
Bike


Among the altogether new and
startling feature loadstones an
nounced by The Frank A. Robbins
Co. All New Great Features Shows
to memorably signalize their days
visit to Kingwood on Thursday Oct
4. Alpha's and Omega's phenom-
enally fearsome rival feat Of stimuli
taneously leaping on their bicycles
high in air across a chasm fifty feet
wide, is attracting the lions share
of attention and comment. As this
heroically prodigious performance is
new here, the following summary
thereof, taken from an illustrated
and detailed description In the New
York Evening Journal will interest
our readers:
Mounted upon bicycles Of the
ordinary safety pattern, and grasp
ing the handle. liars with grip Of
steel, Alpha and Omega start from
platform forty five feet from the
ground. Before them lies, at an
incline of forty five degrees, a board
path, less than three feet wide and
a hundred feet in length, which at
the bottom ends in a sharp upward
curve, directly in line with and sep:
arated by break of some fifty feet
from another platform ten feet above
the ground. A gentle shove from
an attendant and Alpha and Omega
are off on brief but fearsome jour
ney, the ending of which no man,
not even themselves, can foretell.
Should their wheels swerve a single
inch from the required direction,
or they, for the fraction Of second
lose unfinching GOODNESS, absolute
perfection of control, concentration
CT instantaneous observation and
supreme self-possession, deadly
disaster rides with them. SO rapi-
dly do they gather speed in their
furiously fleet descent that they
flash like misty streak across the
sight, and almost in the twinkling of
an eye have reached the summit Of
the curve referred to, and they and
their wheels soar upward and mead
long high In air. The momentum
decreases until they seem to hover
in space, then the bicycles dive
downward and, directed by an in.
stantaneous delicateness of manip.
ulation, imperceptible to the dazed
and dumbfounded onlookers land
on the receiving platform, which
their two wheels must strike at
practically tao same moment, as
otherwise there would be a dreadful
finish, RICH, then and there. But
seemingly superhumaa nerve and
skill have triumphed, and Alpha
and Omega ride placidly down
gentle incline, after what might not
appropriately be termed a race
with death.
