A Most Valuable Agent.

The clycerine employed in DIR. Plerces
medicines greatly enhances the medicinal
properties which IL extracts from native
medicinal roots and holds in solution
much better than alcohol would. 1t also
possesses medicinal properties Of its own,
being a valuable demulcent, nutritve,

greatly TO the efficacy OF the Black Cherry
bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone

chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial,

these agents are recommended by stand

DESCENT OF A DESCENDANT.
Most Virginisus and probably all the
kin and connections of the Fairfax fam
lily will share the regret and mortifca-
ton expressed by the New York Tele-
graph that Albert Kirby Fairfax, linesl
descendant of Lord Kirby Fairfax of
Cameron aud legal heir TO the title, has
renounce1 his American citizenship and
become a British subject and baron. Six
or seven generations of the Virginia
Fairfaxes believed that there could be 20
higher social position Of honor than that
of modest, well-bred, clean. living Vir-
ginis gentleman. Conscious Of the right
to wear the title they ignored it. The
father of this young man was quiet
and much beloved country doctor and a
good Confederate soldier and, We believe,
was inclined to take rather humoroUI
view of his dormant title.
Probably If young Fairfax had re-
miined 10 Virginia or Maryland, sur
rounded by his native atmosphere, h'
would hsvs gone on like his father be-
fore him. He went to New York as {
bank clerk, however, and the news
papers there, finding a real American
lord, proceeded to exploit him In theil
usual vulgar and fashy way. Very
likely he fell in with some OF the ele
ment which never has comprehendec
and never can comprehend the signiff
csnce and dignity of real gentility. s.
his head was turned and now he ha'
broken the long and honorable RECORD
of his family and exchanged the higt
honor OF being an American gentleman
for the cheap return of becoming {
British subject and an ordinary peer o
Scotland. We doubt II bis fellow peer
will admire his course very extraya
gantly. Richmond News Leader.

c. 20 RAILWAY.

At the meeting of the stockholders OF
the Chesapeake end OHIO Railway held
in Richmond yesterday the cnlrge was
made thai the sonual report was mia
leading, and II. T WIckham, counsel
for the company, replied that the charge
was made only by stock gsmblers.
Subsequently, Mr. Wickham spologized,
but those who hsd make the charge con-
tinued to crilicze the report.
J,hn P. Branch, one Of the Oldest
stockholders 10 the rosd, sharply at
tackled the repor', charging that while
the officers were guilty of no wrong, the
report was, nevertheless, misleading, in
that large sums had been charged to
profit and loss, which ought not to have
been so charged. Others took part in
the discussion, which reached very
warm stage, when Frederick W. Scott,
another stOckholder, directly accused
Henry T. Wickbsm, general counsel for
the road, of insulting and badgering the
minority stockholders. The report, how
ever, WAS adopted, but the minority
stockholders left the meeting.
Pointed inquiry from minority stock
holders developed the assurance that
they might expect more than the usual
l per cent dividend 10 the future. The
assurance came from the lips Of Presi-
dent Stevens, who said that judging
from the esrnings Of the rDsd for the
past several months The net earnings for
the ensuing year wouli be the greatest
in the history of the company and that
the stockholders would have every rea-
son to expect larger share in dividends.
The old directors of the road were re-
elected with one exception, that one
being in the person of Martin E'dham,
of New York.

THE PRE3IDENr AT vICKSBURG.


President Roosevelt paid a flying
visit to Vicksbnrg, Miss, Monday and
made a speech in the afternoon He
was accorded a hearty reception, after
being introduced By Hon. John Sharp
Williams. Mr.. Roosevelt in bis speech
said
81 should not be ct to be President
at all if did not with all my might
and main, with sll my heart and brain,
seek to be in the full sense the Pfesi-
dent of Mississippi, the President OF
every State 10 the union. 1t is good
thing for an American President 10
travel over the country, not for what be
can teach, but for what he can learn.
While l DO not like 10 say, in advance,
what | intend to do, shall break my
rule in this case and say that in my
next message to Congress | shall advo-
cate, as heartily as | know how, that
the Congress now elected shall take the
first steps to bring about that deep chan
nelway and the attendant high and
broad levee system which will make Of
these alluvial bottoms the richest and
most populous agricultural land on the
face of the globe. believe that through
the cooperation of the national govern
ment as much can be done in the way
of irrigation to relieve the condition in
certain southern States rs has already
been done in the far west.
am glad to be here in this historic
city, this city forever memorable of the
conflicts in which victor and vsDquisbed
alike showed such splendid courage, such
splendid ieally 10 the light as it was
given to each. Even before the civil war
Mississippps sons had shown that they
knew how 10 fight. at WAS from
Vicksburg that a company of that
famous Mississippi regiment which
won undyipg renown in the Mexi-
can war under the gallant leadership
of it's colonel, who aiterward be-
came the faVorite SOD, not only Of Mis-
sissippi, but Of all the South, Jefferson
Dayia, came. Think how fortunate we
are as a nation that it is possible for
the President of the nation to come here
today 10 be conducted through your ns
tioual park by the surviving lieutenant
general of the Confederate army, and to
feel that every instance of heroism re-
corded by the monuments alike to the
Uuiou and to the Confederate dead on
that battlefield is subject for just pride
to every citizen of this nation, no matter
where he lives.
