- An Electiou Day of 1894.


 At Charlottesville, Va, the seat of Abermarle county. according to Miss Mary Johnston's chronicle of Lewis Rand" they were voting for mem ber of the House Of Delegates. It was the fourth Wednesday in April. The year was 1904.
 Under the locust trees to the right of the open gate were placed long ta- bles, and on them three mighty punch bowls. flanked by drinking cups and guarded by house servants of vener- able appearance and stately manners. Here good Federalists refreshed, them selves. To the left of the gate, upon the trampled grass beneath a mulberry, appeared other punch bowls and in addition a barrel of whiskey ready preached for all good Democrat- Re- publicans. The sunny street was filled with horses, vehicles and ,servsnts; the broad path between. the trees, athes turf on either hand and the court house steps were crowded with riotouss voters. All ranks of society, all ages, 'occupa- tions and opinions met in the genial weather beneath thettrees where sang every bird of spring.
 Within the court house the sherin presided. Conspicuous sat the two candidates. There were no ballots but each voter made known his choice by living voice: %.,.

 c. H. Cables. a wealthy and per- petual candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor on the prohibition ticket, has opened a fine new hotel at Waterbury, Conn.,, in order to rescue from the de- mon rum the amiable but sometimes in- discreet drummer. ee
 The commercial traveller Is the backbone of the hotel trade" says Cables. If I can get him into the habit of stopping at hotels like mine, I'll soon have the rum hotels out of business, and then thererl be nothing left to light but the groggeries."
 Cables new hotel cost him $200.0 .000. Its manager is Sunday School super intendent who never had days hotel experience in his life.
 T put him there" exp9afns Cables. because want to get away from the old idea. If had a regular hotel man in charge he'd put all his energy into elaborating the things to eat and the places to sleep. He might even get excited and point out to drum mers the way to saloons. Now. my manager won't bother any more about these material details than is neces- sary. He'll just spend his time enter taining people. talking with them when they're lonely. you know. and starting up the phonograph when they want to hear ; It, and he'll conduct prayer meetings In the evening. We're going to make everything homelike for the drummers."
 The day and. night clerks are young women members of the Epworth League. The hotel has a bar of ortho- dox appearance. over which only soft drinks are sold. t
 "I put in the electric lights and the pictures and brass rail for the drum mers to rest their feet on just so that the change would. come upon them gradually" says Mir. Cables. They'll take to cold tea as readily as they ever did to strong waters after they've been with me for month.
 The hotel has 200 rooms. Only four of them were occupied last night.

old and New DardaneIIes.

LOnQOn
 The Dardanelles. which is so familiar today, meant to our grandfathers not the Hellespont. but merely two an- cient and strong castles of Turkey, one of which Is in Roumania and the other In Natolla." The famous strait was known in early Victorian geography by the name of GallipoH But the brave, dominating castles swept away both Hellespont and Gallipoli, and gave their own name to the two-mile passage. Those venerable castles. built in 1859 to secure the Turkish fleet from the Insults of the Venetians, 9 were known according to an early geographer. as the Old Dardanelles to distinguish them from two others at the entrance of the strait, one of which stands in like manner in Asia and the other in Europe" and called the New Dardanelles.
 Tn spite of the four castles. how ever. the passage was forced by a Brit ish fleet in 1907. Tn later years fortifi- cations of a formidable nature have been constructed between the two sets of castles, and these are now properly the Dardanelles., The ultimate respon- sbility for naming the famous strait rests with Dardanus the gentleman who crossed on his inflated skin from Samothrace to Asia and founded the town which afterward became the city of Troy.

 A new kind of free toll service graft has been worked on the telephone companies of Lansing, Mich. A few days ago the travelling representative of n business concern ine distant city reached Lansing. canvassed the trade industriously and landed several orders of good size. After his day. work was done he went to the tele- phone and asked for Tong distance. After the usual preliminaries he called for his brother in the distant city. The brother could not be locatel. Well, then, perhaps the operator could get his sister. No his sister also was out. He was sorry. but he would call again later. and left the booth without hay ing to pay toll, of course, as he did not get his party "The next day" says The American Telephone Journal, "he departed for pastures new, and the telephone company was none the wiser But the house had received a correct report of the business done by the drummer that day, and the toll was saved for himself or the house. The brothers name stood for the amount of his sales and the sisters for the character of the order"

al Supreme Court.

II Is reported from Washington that
Representative Charles Z. Littleheld
of Maine was the recipient of great
honor to which is attached q small
fortune. at the hands of the Supreme
Court Of the United States He was
appointed master to take evidence in
one OF the most interesting and
unique suits ever brought by one State
Of the Union against another-the
suit of Virginia to compel West Nir-
ginla to bear her portion OF the debt
of the Old Dominion incurred before
the State divided at the outbreak of
the Civil War. .t
Approximately s15,O00.000 is at
stake, and in the settlement of the
case II is estimated that Mr.. Little.
fields fees will amount to between
100000 and $4,000. His selection is
tribute TO his standing as a lawyer.
At the beginning of the Civil War
Virginia owed n debt of approximate
ly sl0.00o,0O0, incurred largely for In.
ternal improvements. West Virginia
separated from the mother state and
entered the Union as an independent
state, taking with her one.thirl Of the
territory and population Virginia for
years tried to get settlement Of the
debt.
About three gears ago the Virginia
Legislature authorized the Attorney
General Of the State to bring suit
against West Virginia. The suit was
tried last year before the Supreme
Court, and West Virginia filed de-
murrer. claiming Virginia had no right
TO bring suit The Supreme Court
held that Virginia had the right and
that West Virginia must answer. The
hearing came up two months ago be.
fore the Supreme Court OF the United
States on the merits Of the case and
the court ordered that n master must
be appointed to take evidence.
West Virginia asked for the appoint.
ment Of Representative Littlefeld.
The appointment Is entirely satisfac'
tory to Virginia.
The case will practically be decid'
cd by Mr.. Littlefeid, as In such cases
the report of the master Is usually ac
cepted by the court. He will retire
from Congress In September ald prob
ably will devote his time to this case
for three years.

THE TRUE DREAM

When the first snowfakes of the winter
float down from the sky, there IS joy IN
every childish heart at the sight, And
when later on the earth is covered with
a thick soft carpet of white and sleds
and skates are brought out, is there a boy
or girl who doesn't think winter the iclli-
est time OF the whole year? How many
ever give a thought to the children who
have never seen the snow at all-the chill
dren living in warm Southern lands, where
the snow never falls?
Links family at rome in Tonquin were
people of very good standing and Limb
had been carefully educated. His parents
cid not want him to go to Paris with the
other Tonquinese who had been asked to
exhibit in the Paris Exposition. but Linh
mad begged SO hard to be allowed to ac-
company them that consent was fnatiy
given.
And why do you suppose Limb was so
anxious TO 20 to Paris? Just to see the
snow-the beautiful, soft, white snow that
he had heard so much about. that he bad
7ead of In his books, that no one at Ton
uuin, not his father nor his fathers father,
had ever seen.
1t was summer time when Linh reached
Paris and of course there was no sno y.
Vie had not dreamed that it never showed
in summer in this France. So among all
