R. Henry LOneS Dead.

Mr.. II. Henry Jones, senior
member of the Board of Control
and one of the most prominent
citizens of Norfolk. died at his
home in that city on Monday last.
Mr., Jones had not been in good
health for some time and several
times had been forced to leave
the city for his health. Monday
night he suffered a severe stroke
of apopleXy from which he never
recovered and finally passed away
about 1890 o'clock.
The people Of Norfolk have
truly good reason for sorry at his
death. Few, If any, men in this
part OF the State had cleaner or
better record than he. Every
thing possible was done to show
that Norfolk felt keenly the death
OF her gallant son. All the Offices
we're closed, the courts adjourned,
flags were lowered TO halt. mast
and the fire bells of the city tolled
for an hour.

The kind heartedness of Mr.. Taft

capital, the Columbia Polytechnic In
stitute. which seeks to make 1t posi-
Bile for the adult blind of the United
States to rise above conditions of de-
pendence by becoming self sustaining,
placed on sale souvenir post cards
manufactured by its blind. Some SEN
timental persons took the view that
this was undigniied and succeeded in
having the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds order the cards
removed. F. Z. cleveland. principal
Of the institute, appealed to Mr.. Taft.
then secretary of war and within
whose Jurisdiction came the Office Of
public buildings and grounds. 1t took
only a few words to convince the sec
rotary that the blind should have the
benefit of this privilege. and the cards
were again placed on sale in the mon
ument.
"For this action" said Principal
Cleaveland in discussing the incident,
"Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude Of
every blind person. particularly the
progressive blind. who are striving to
helm their less fortunate fellows"

LABOR WORLD FOR TAFT.
Characterizes Him as True Friend
of the Workingman.

(From the Concord IN. H. Monitor.)
The Labor World comes out strongly
In its advocacy Of Mr.. Taft. 1t charac-
terizes him true friend of labor and
declares that the unfair attacks of Mr..
Gompers will have little or no effect In
alternating from him the labor world
1t says: "That Secretary Taft is a true
friend of labor is certain, and all the
untrue. ungenerous. vicious attacks
that President Gompers or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing to be the friend of the
wage worker. Organized labor cannot
afford to have itself split up into fac
tons on this political issue. That Pres
ident Gompers Is wrong In forcing this
most ominous fight is certain, and in
telligent wage workers will certainly
come to this conclusion"
