appearance. Not only are the streets
broken and Uttered, but huge piles Of
food reiuie, foul and msnscing to health,
stand in many parts OF The city snd
every house that wss attacked by the
water shows the height the WaIerreached
By the muddy stain.
Some of the beautiful stone snd mar.
BILE bulldogs in the fashionable sections
will have to be treated with slnd-blssts
before the marks of the food can be
effaced.
Thousands Of men, thrown ont OF EN-
ploymeut by the food we're put to work
today at street aud sewsr repairing.
The improvement ia the suburbs ia
not nearly 90 marked IS 10 Paris, owing
to the fact that large percent Of the
population OF the suburbs h9cked into
PARIS aud bas not yet returned.
A raogements are now being made 10
esta oish free food depots in these SUB.

THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. 3, 1910.

Ok lgst thursday it was announced
ia tbe G .zette that "All the proposed
Amendments 70 the constitution Of Viz
ginia had passed the H)use Of Delegates
but moi without opposition IS to that
which proposed an extension OF the
sessions OF the general assembly from
sky days to ninety days" This met
with much opposition, thirty votes being
cast against it, and il is stated that only
q leader was necessary in order to kill
this raid OF the public treasury. Editor
la,ly we called attention on October "a,
1909, to this proposed charge saying, at
Is hoped that the Legislature will decline
10 pass tho resolution or bill to submit
this amendment. Too much harm is
possible 10 sixty days, and too many
laws are GOV on the statute books, so
with a ninety days session much time
vN,ld be lost al needless waste OF
mopee. Indeed mjOrity Of voters
would prefer that the sessions be cur
tailed iusitad Of heightened" Con-
timing We said: 1.-THE G;z3tte has 81.

shall onoose his amendment If it Comis
before The peop sud hopes 10 have the
asgistsnce OF Inc newspapers oil the

90 This amendment can be made effective
# the press OF the sta.e brings the mat
ter home to their readers and all The
psople. This opposition In the House
of Delegates, to which We have alluded,
shows Il is not popular measure. The
action Of the senate will be awaited With
some Interest. Should 1t also pass that
body, which is By no means improbable,
aud lsler receive the signature OF the
governor, then it can be defested and
should DO defeated by the voters, the
