Governor Mann is taking an active
personal interest, for the sake OF Rich
mond and of Virginia, in the proposed
construction of steam railway line
between West Point and Urbanna. It
Is his aim to divert to this city the
tremendous freight and express bust
ness which now goes to Baltimore.
The Governor has taken UP the mat
ter OF transfer accommodations and
rates with the Southern Railway
through its president, w. w Finley.
In reply, Mr.. Finley assures the eXecu-
tive that the Southern would give to
this road at West Point the same SER
vice and advantages which 1t gives
to any other road similarly situated.
II not only believe" said the Gov
ernor yesterday. that such line
would be one OF the most important
possible factors in the upbuildlng OF
Richmond. but also that 1t would be
a fine investment for the promoters.
1t can he built at small cost. With
the exception OF bridge over the
Mattapoui River and another over a
creek near Urbanna, there would be no
expense beyond laying the track on
the ground. The country is level. and
the road would be almost straight.

II Is intended to complete and crown

1t is spent in prayer and meditation.
It Is kept, too. as fast, in obedience
to the command given in each OF the
two passages above cited, where the
expression "afflict his SOUL must be
understood, as It is throughout the
Bible, as synonymous with fasting.
The chief. the real aim of the Day

The act OF fasting Is partly to serve

partly 1t has reflex influence. For
hunger and weakness tell upon the
conscience; they nortify pride, break
down obstinacy, cast men down before
God In humility and contrition. But
fasting does even more than that.
Taking the worshper away from such
carnal occupations as eating and drink

the needs OF the soul. 1t makes the
day one of physical abstinence and
self-denial, but also of corresp ondingly
