MRS. TOY POP" is
IN new YORK
The Wife of Noted Nationalist, Says
She Is Here To BE Cured of
Insomnia.

NEW YORK Special. Mrs. "Tay
Pay O'COnnOr, wife OF the noted edi-
tor and Nationalist. who is in this
country for the cure Of her insomnia.
told a reporter Monday afternoon that
her first night in New York showed no
signs that she hes been benefited by
it. This news is of particular inter
est because Mrs. O'COnnOr is prob
ably the first person i'm the world who
ever came to New York to try TO find
sleep.
But it is only the first night" Mrs.
O'Connor said hopefully. Il am go
ing to try IL here for three weeks. and
If the air here doesn't cure me 1 am
going back TO England. 1 may stay
here several months"
Mrs. O'Connor. who is a handsome
woman Of very youthful appear
ance, despite the distinguished gray
ness Of her hair. sat on n sofaqin the
parlor of the Hotel Algonquin.
Yes" she said, my physician told
me to come to America and see If the
change in the air wouldn't do me
good. His name is BlandSutton. He
won't let a patient use q particle of
bromide or anything of that kind. He
said to me. 'You'n just have to bear
it, that's ALL"
When Mrs. OConnor was told that
she looked very fresh for an insomnia
victim she declared that she owed that
entirely to hot and cold baths.
SOIellIneS 4 nave TO take TWO COlO
baths IN one night That's the only
thing that keeps me going"
Mrs. O'COnnOr said she believed the
English women would get the vote
before the Americans.
THE interest here compared with
that in England seems forced. from
what 1 have heard. 1t isn't as spon-
taneous- We in England are more in
earnest about it. Then we need it
more"
Mrs. O'Connor said that she didn't
expect to do any active suffragette
work in this country.
"The difference between the modern
woman and the woman Of the last
generation is that the latter was one
bound by conventions" continued Mrs
O'COnnor. The modern woman leaps
over them or breaks them whenever
they get in her way or when she finds
them antiquated.
when women get the vote i'm Eng
land. I think that all the laws Will be
modified. one of the first will be the
divorce law. which is very unfair to
women at present. In England a
woman has to prove unfaithfulncss or
cruelty: the man only unfaithfUlness.
At least the law should he the same
for both"
Mrs. O'Connor declared that she
hadn't abandoned hope Of establishing
a store i'm New York for Irish indus
tries. she next told Of her career as
an actress.
81 wrote a play called The Lady
From Texas" she said. After il
failed manager offered to take it
cut in the provinces if / would act the
leading role. lie thought my name
would be drawing card. I went, and
got most beautiful notices and was
very successful; but got desperately
sick and had TO give it up

RICHM ON ID. VA

DclcGate Throckmorton mas intro
duced a bill wiping out all taxes due
prior To January. 1900. and providing
,or the collection of delinquent taxes
on land. The bill is similar to the
one introduced by him at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature. The repeal Of
all unpaid taxes prior to 1900 will
simplify his original bill a great deal,
as il will not put so much work on
the clerks of the courts.
The principal features of the bill
are the doing away with the present
"landgrabber" law, making the last
receipt OF the tax collector conclusive
evidence that all taxes due on the
prop " prior to the date of the tax
receipt have been paid. and providing
for the sale OF delinquent lands by a
special commission of the court, as
in other court sales, so that the bal
ance Of the purchase money, after
payment of taxes and other liens, Will
be turned over to the owner.

superintendent In other sections.
There were several cases OF this
kind I'm the State. and there were
threats Of refusal TO receive the new
man in each case. but cooler heads
predominated. and the action OF the
board was accepted.
While this Indignation was more or
less pronounced i'm every part of the
State the opposition was not TO the
appOintee OF the board personally, but
was a protest solely against the limo
walton Of the board in bringing TO a
county or city some person who. how
ever much he might be fitted for the
discharge of the duties, was not and
could not be familiar with the condi-
tons. needs and local environment.
The object Of the bill. which has al
ready been prepared i'm a tentative
way, is to confine the selection of the
board to the division over which the
superintendent is to preside. The idea
obtaining is that IL a man in War
wick county, for instance. is the man
suited for a school superintendency,
the proper thing to do is to make him
the superintendent for that county.
and not to send him to Halifax or
Pulaski or Clarke county.
The member who is advocating the
idea inclines TO the belief that the best
way to accomplish this principle Of
local self-government is TO have the
county and city boards to nominate
three persons from such county or
city division, and to have the State
Board of Education to consider these
and if the qualifications and fitness Of
the men so nominated is satisfactory
TO the board to have one of the three
chosen, but reserving to the State
Board the right to name some other
person, but from the county or city.
for the position Of superintendent
This plan, 1t is believed. would re-
move many of the objections that have
been and are being urged against the
confirmation of the boards appointees
