Where He Fell.

Charles Porter. Grinnell, Iowa, wants
to know why SO many of the old soldiers
belonging to the Army of the Potomac,
who certainly should know better. per-
sist in the statement that the Confed-
crate General Hill was killed in front
of Fort Malone. He has already given
sufficient proof that Gen. A. P. Hill
was killed four or five miles southwest
of the position given by Comrade ]. c..
Taylor, LIST Conn. H. A., in his article
The General was killed so far from the
lines about Fort Malone that he could
not possibly have been seen by anyone
around the fort. Comrade Porter has
written several letters on this subject,
and he gives authorities for his asser-
tons. among them that of Lieut.-Gen.
Longstreet's address, From Manassas
TO Appomattox.' Gen. Longstreet says
that when he arrived at Lees head
quarters Lee was not yet out of his
tent, it being very early in the morn
ing, and that Gen. Hill, with only one
attendant, went out to find his COM
mand. and in doing SO came into contact
with skirmishers I'm a ravine, who fired
upon and killed him. All historians
give the same account of his death,
and Comrade Porter never heard any
other. Gen. Hill was fully four miles
from Fort Malone when he was killed,
and rather west of Petersburg than
east.

Injunction Refused

The application made by the
Page Milling Company for an in
junction to have the Shenandoah
River Light and Power Company
restrained from further furnishing
of irregular" electric service,
&C., to the first named company
was argued before the Circuit
Court of Clarke county last We'd
nesday by Messrs- Mccormick and
Harnsberger for the complainants,
and NJ. l.. Walton and Judge Rob
inson for the defendants. Judge
Harrison refused to grant the in
junction applied for and sustained
the demurrer of the defendant. 1t
was claimed by the latter that the
Milling Company, if aggrived, had
an adequate remedy in court of
law, that is by suit for damages.
and that chancery action did not
lie. Judge Harrison took the view
that to grant the injunction would
require practically that the court
should take charge of the plant.
We understand the Milling Com
pany will carry their case to the
Supreme Court.

All for the Best.


written for the CoURIER)
She sits by an open window
And thinks Of vacant chair;
\ woman with soft sad eyes of brown,
And curls Of soft brown hair;
Across her brow is the shadow
OF grief that lies buried deem.
And she listens in vain for the cadence
OF voice that is manly and sweet.
His voice was to her like the music
OF bright celestial spheres:
And the silence-Oh, the silence
Fills her heart with unshed tears:
There are griefs so keen and sad.
Far deeper than all the rest,
Loving friends say, Patience
We know it is all for the best"
She sits and thinks in the cleaning;
I've often heard her weep,
Her helpless hands are folded.
As she watches the youths Of the street.
She watches them pass to and fro,
sometimes with maidens fair
Her eyes have a longing wistful look.
And her lips move in voiceless prayer.
Is she sits alone in her sorrow,
what memories round her throngl
She thinks of her pure and noble bow.
Loving, true and strong.
She Hstens in vain for his football;
Misses the clasp of his hand.
And she feels that her heart is breaking.
Or clasp with an iron band.
No sweet, sweet Lethe at even,ide
To drown her hearts sad woe:
/ That heart so full of sorrow
Agonized, crushed by the terrible blow:
And she yearns for a kind and tender son
As ever grsced the earth,

DR.. Harris Speaks for Consumptiyss

At the Conference Of Charity
and Corrections, held at the James
town Exposition last Friday, DR..
j. Edward Harris, of Berryville.
who has made a special study of
consumption. read an important
paper on "Virginia's Need of In
stitutions for the Cure and Treat
ment of tuberculosis" He de-
clared that more people are dying
in Virginia from consumption than
from smallpox, diphtheria and
scarlet fever combined. and that it
is prevalent among all classes.
Among other things, DIR. Harris
advocated the State caring for its
poor consumptives just as it does
for its insane patients. He said
that it was roughly estimated that
Virginia had 20, 600 cases in 1900.
and after II months of investiga-
tion he has come to the conclusion
that not over one forth of this
number is able to pay over IS per
week for treatment a length of
time required for cure. OF the
remaining $4,000, about one-third
can pay S5 per week, and this
leaves 10000 who cannot pay any
thing at all. In other words, one
half of our tubercular cases are
paupers, SO far as paying for the
actual cost of the treatment is con
cerned. Therefore. with = large
number of destitute tubercular
patients of Virginia, the demand
for State aid is imperative.
If the lives of its citizens are q
States most precious possession.
said DIR. Harris, surely this MATES
is worthy of the best thought arc
the most careful legislation. \ su
preme effort should be made C
educate our State, city anC
county officials, and these are tn,
channels through which our Stat,
aid will come. The rich should b,
instructed and the poor helped anC
advised as well. This disease can
not be eradicated at once; it vii
require years of systematic anC
persistent work. The efforts o.
the workers in the other State.
have been slowly but surely crown
ed with success.
