THE PASSING OF THE WILD
TURKEY.

Ever since Virginia has been Vir-
ginia the wild turkey has held his posi-
ton as her chief game bird. His title
to this position has never been disputed,
and he has strutted through Virginia
forests and over her. bills and valleys
since the whito man Landed on these
shores, proud of his ascendcncy. His
pursuit has attracted to Virginia chief
magistrates OF this couatry and hua-
dreds OF men OF note, while his presence
has always afforded the sport OF kings
Tor the humblest OF our people.
In this portion OF Virginia the wild
turkey is passing away. The general
Assembly OF Virginia vas wise

law prohibiting the sale OF the
partridge, the pheasant aud the wood.
cock, but 1t was grossly neglisentin not
adding the wild turkey to the list. AS a
result he has been hunted and pur-
susd for market purposes in all this
section. OF Virginia until today it is a
safe assertion that in the counties of
Stafford and spotsylyauis, where
hitherto turkeys have abounded, there
are but few left, and the same condi'
tons no doubt apply to Orange, Cul-
pepper and Louisa.

Justice f. 3. Cation presiding.I
The first case called in the Police
Court this morning was that of James
Brown, a soldier, who had been ar
rested for disorderly conduct. He
could not be found and forfeited his
collateral ny failing to appear.
Fannie Steward, colored, next faced
the bar to answer the charge OF ASSAULT
ing a coiored girl. The trouble. it
seemed, originated in closing up the
accounts of colored organization
known as the Silver Leaf Club. Fannie,
who is treasurer, had been charged by
one OF the members with transferring
some OF the money to another colored
association known as the Hand-to-
Hand Club. This charge so angercd
the Stewart woman that she slapped
the girl aud when the mother OF the
latter appeared on the scene she, it was
alleged, threatened t do likewise. The
accused was dismissed with an .ad-
monitiou. She was represented by
Mr.. Robinson Moncure.

HOW RED CROSS PROCEEDS ARE
SLt:BE.i,.

MANY questions have been asked re-
garding the disposition OF funds from
the Red cross seal campaign which
has now been in progress here Tor
week. The People, While approving
the general purpose OF this sale, are anx-
ious to know for what object the funds
will be used and those in charge o. the
sale have had many inquiries during
the last few days.
In reply 10 these inquiries the com
mittee has asked the newspapers TO
make the following statement:
THE Red Cross seal campaign IS the
one appeal made to the whole people
OF the United States in behalf OF tn.
berculosis work. At this time and
ut no other time all charitable bodies
in the country engage in raising funds
to combat consumption and united
in asking the friends OF this work
everywhere to use these seals. IN
Virginia there arc ut present 2o,uoo
cases of consumption and OF this
number only about % per cent. are
able to pay for the necessary treat,
ment. Tire funds raised from the Red
Cross seals go directly to the care
of these people and TO the education
of others in the prevention OF con-
sumption. Fifty per cent. OF the pro-
ceeds of the sale 60 directly TO The
relief OF consumptiye5 in this locality,
81 II por cent. OF the proceeds goes to
the aid of the work OF the State Anti
Tuberculosis Association which is carry
ing on an educational campaign in
other cities and counties OF Virginia;
the remaining IL IL per cent. OF the
proceed is used for the tuberculosis
work of the National Red Cross. We
appeal to all friends OF tuberculosis
work in our midst to aid this cause at
this time and to Use the beautiful Red
Cross seals as means OF preventing
the disease and curing those who are
nov suffering from it.

No power except the general assembly,
