"BAREFoorED BURGLAR"
Midnight Marauder Still Eludes
Pursuers.

Hampton, June AT an early hour
yesterday morning the Barefoot
Burglar" was discovered in the
grounds of the Hampton Normal
School, having burglarized the home
of Mr.. Albert Howe.
The man made good getaway
and, notwithstanding the fact that
blood hound trailed HIM to the heart
of the town of Phoebus, the noted
night operator, or at least very good
imitation of him, made his escape.
That elusive and original marauder
known to fame as the .sBarefoot Burg
lar" was out on business trip that
night in and around the grounds of
the Hampton Normal, and performed
some of the most daring feats of house
breaking that he has ever been guilty
of.

ABOUT WASTE.

Statisticians tell Us that our republic
is the richest, the most opulent, coun-
try on earth, and if put up to the high
est bidder at the courthouse door on
county court day the sheriff, in pursu-
ance of levy of fieri facias, or the
master in .chancery, under decree
ordering liquidation, would knock
down the United States for bigger
price than even Great Britain would
fetch under the hammer, or at private
sale. That is true, or not, as may be.
Let us militant patriots hope it is JUS
titled by the fact, the one stupendous
thing in this world; and pity tits that
all of them are not founded on accura-
cy and truth.
But rich as we are, the American
people have the besetting sin of waste.
What we lose by neglect, prodigality,
and other sorts of thriftlessness every
year amounts to more than we save.
In the matter of soil erosion alone,
through the ignorance or incidence of
farmers, the waste is frlghtful, reach
ing into the millions. Then there is
the waste, or rather vandalism, due to
weeds. That is immense. The clover
plant takes from the atmosphere to
enrich the soil; the noxious weed takes
from the soil fertility to waste on the
atmosphere. And this waste is not
confined TO the field;'it is in the forest.
In every virgin woods there are trees
that are rs detrimental to the giants of
that forest as weeds are to potatoes, or
corn, or wheat, or meadow.
Indeed, the waste that We are callous
to in this country exceeds the profit
we reap. 1t is very great pity that
every American farmer has not the
leisure to read and the capacity to un-
derstand and profit by Victor Hugo's
great chapter on the subject. France
understands it, and that is what has
made France the richest country per
capita in the world. In France it is a
penal offense to allow weed to 60 to
seed.-Washington Post.

Aee they rR,Emps OR EMEMlEs9

The friends of the Hon. Henry c.
Stuart are wondering what effect, If
any, his candidacy Tor Congress in the
9th district will have ON his future as
pirationS. II is even intimated that
his quondom friends are winking the
other eye, and smiling behind their
hands over the situation. They, 90
say some, that is those on the inside Of
that side, urged him to run believing
Siemp would beat him, and they could
then tell the people Of Stuart's weak
ness. It Is certain unless there Is q
banana peel somewhere TO be stepped
on, that Stuart will be the next Dem
ocratic candidate fer governor. This
will not suit the organization. Every
mother son Of those in power now, has
no use for Stuart. He is the most OBJ
noxious person politically to them in
the State, and anything that would
likely kill him politically would be re-
garded by them with peculiar pleas
use. 1t is even intimated that these
in his Congressional district, will
lay down on him when the time
comes. To beat MI. Slemp in the
strongly republican 9th district, would
be to accomplish what has not SO much
as been seriously attempted for years.
There would be prestige acquired by
such success, too much prestige for one
not of the sacred coterie, the Big Four.
Such an one the people might want fol
United States Senator some day before
a great while, and this would be slate
breaking with vengeance. Mr..
Stuart's success is, therefore, said to be
not deyoutly prayed for by what is
now known in Virginia as the Ring.
They are not laying any mines to blow
themselves up, and as the fight pro-
crosses, possibly this fact will not only
appear upon the surface, but become
so plain that even those who run may
read.

Developments In the case of Charles
r. Heike, the Sugar Trust magnate,
now being tried for frauds on the gov
ernmont, have shown that the trust
cheated the shippers as we'll as the
government. Their mode Of cheating
the shippers was to lower the tests.
Thus If sugar did not reach certain
degree of flneness according to their
tests the shipper lost. The government
had no interest in the quality 50. they
cheated il by false weights. Having
seen how these two were cheated, we
can imagine what happened to the
third one, the consumer.

Harrisonburg. June 3.-Charles
Niswander, former resident of the
Daphna neighborhood, met with q
distressing accident several days sgo
ut Lima. Ohio, where ne has been live
ing for year or two. A brief mes
sage received yesterday by relatives
in the county stated that Mr.. Mise
wander was thrown from gondola

jured. He was removed to hospital.
where on examination by physicians
revealed tho fact that the mans back
had been broken, and that he had
sustained spinal injury which rem

The peculiar energy of Mr.. Roosevelt
Is striking. He can endure more than
any man living of a certain kind OF
mental and physical strain. His
nerves are hard and unyielding, and
his muscles 'strong as iron bands. =
His emery is the remark of the world.
The trouble many find with him is
that he is too active, too much given
to creating surprises and to meddling
with other peoples affairs. This is
to some extent true, If we may judge
from his utterances in Egypt, and At
Guild Hall, England. Both were lack
ing in taste. The utterances were pos
sibly true, but one ought hardly to &C
cept an invitation to feast and then
tell his host that his wines would have
b. en- more enjoyed had he procured
other brands, or his sweets better, had
he used other seasonings. Mr.. Roose-
welt did this. He told the Egyptians
who are beginning to show independ-
ence and cry, EGYPT for the Egypt
ians," that they were on the wrong
tack and should be m ,de TO hush and
submit to the English Government.
He told the English at Guild Hall how
they could better govern Egypt, and
he was in Egypt only few days, while
the English have been In Egypt many
years. All this was impolite, not
wrong possibly. But his sayings and
doings since his lion hunts have led
many to believe he is Royalistic. Mr..
Hearst says as much, but we don't re-
gard what Mr.. Hearst SAYS seriously.
Mr.. Bryan did not call him royalistic,
but intimated that he seemed less DEM
ocratic since travelling abroad, and Mr..
Bryan did rap him over the knuckles
for plesuming to give England advice.
The greatest dread this nation has of
Mr.. Roosevelt is his imperialistic ten:
denotes, SO say many authorities. They
may not be very pronounced, but there
are many who believe that If he had
the power he would brook no delay in
or DEPRESSION from his ideas. They
have watched his course since he en-
tered the New York Police Board. He
dominated everything there. He did
the same as a member of the Civil
Service Commission. He would have
overturned many things as Secretary
Of the Navy. AS Northumberland of
the Rough Riders he took the reins en-
tirely out of the hands of the colonel
and became s'the whole show" AS a
subaltern in Cuba he set Shafter, the
general in command, aside and prac-
tically assumed command of the army.
His Ground Robin" would have lost
the head Of any other officer. AS pres
ident he would have veeded out most
Of the Supreme Ccnrt, and as for the
constitution he paid little attention to
it, speaking Of it as ..antiqusted, " and
unsuited to the. requirements of "a
| modern government. These are the
dangers some see In him. They seem
to be magnified, however, by corpora
ton influence, and through the news
papers controlled by the trusts.

MONEY IN SENATORIAL ELEc.
TONS.

A good deal is now being said over
q confession by some democratic state
senators in Illinois to the effect that
some one brought them money which
assisted em-the democrsta-in vot-
ing for Mr.. Lorimer, thing they
would not have done but for the
money. In as much as there are a
number q persons in Illinois who
wanted the plum Mr.. Lorimer got,
including his excellency Governor
Deneen, It is possible that there will
be an investigation. and lot Of insin-
uation srd elimination before the
matter settles down to solid basis'
and is brought to an end.
The question naturally arises, how
many U. s. Senators are there now
living, and how many dead In recent

Of the capitol without the use OF
money, either directly or indirectly!
The general opinion is that their

would have been about it, had the

William Lane killed the largest
snake seen III this community for q
long time, on Maple Terrace farm.
1t was about five feet long, and al
most as thick as a quart measure,
with very dangerous looking horn
on its tail. After the snake was dead,
it was aplaced in the path OF the color
ed man who works on The place, and
who had gone to dinner. In little
time the man came along, and saw
the snake-he gave one awful yell
and took back as fast as he could run.
As he ran he tried to get something
off the fence to defend himself with,
but everything seemed to be fast.
He was going at such rate and was
s badl Z scared that thoss who were
Watching thought it was best to call
to him and tell him the snake was
dead.

EARTH SINKS
Mysterious cave-in in Garden IN
West End

+ A rumor was circulated around the
city yesterday afternoon that Middle
brook Ave. near the @. and O. trestle
bridge had fallen in, but upon visiting
the scene, it was ascertained that the
cave in was in the garden Of Mr.. Geo.
W. Sensabaugh, who lives in the Bear
property ON Maple Street. From what
could be learned, and from the appear.
ance of the hole, it seems that some
years ago there was well near the
spot that has fallen in, but which has
long since been filed up. Mr.. Sensa-
baugh, who has charge of the coal
and wood yard of Mr.. J. s. Sensabaugh,
stated to DISPATCH and NEWS
reporter that on Friday afternoon ne
noticed that the ground in that partic-
ular spot was cracking, and that it
seemed to be sinking slightly, but he
thought nothing of the; affair until
yesterday afternoon when it began to
sink rapidly, and when it was viewed
by representative of this paper. The
c sve-in covered an area fully ten by
twelve feet, much too large for an or
binary WELL
About 800 yards from this spot the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad COM
pany has 500 foot artesian well,
which was driven about two years or
more ago, and Capt. Tyler who is in
charge of the pumping station stated
yesterday afternoon that for the past
three weeks the water from this well
has been muddy, but he attributes
this to blast that was put off on
Maple street about that time.
As yet there is a mystery surround
ing the whole affair.

BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION.

Senator Guggenheim, Of the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate, has been talk
ing. He says:
There has been lot of talk about
syndicate control of ALASKA because
syndicate happens to be building a
railroad there. The thing to do is to
stop talking and TO act. To lave large
undeveloped quantities Of gold, silver,
lead, copper, tin, zine, coal, oil, ETC., at
eur very door and to refuse to avail
ourselves promptly Of this prodered
wealth is to hold the country back.
why should not this country take adj
vantage of the Alaskan opportunity
now?
MI. Guggenheim mistakes the con-
aitions. So long has that gentlemen
walked over the western mining States
rough shod, that he imagines he has
power and right to do as he pleases
with everything not otherwise appro-
psia1ea. OF course Alaska Is full Of
wealth. Only corporations will devel-
ep IL, but there need not be an entire
surrender Of public rights fer private
gain. It is strange corporations cannot
understand that the people have some
rights, but possibly not strange to the
Nergan-G uggenheim syndicate. They
are so imbued with the omnipotence Of
corporations, and have gone unchecked
and unTnoiested SO long, that they feel
a-sert of divine right to universal pos
session. But even Mr.. Guggenheim's
command to ''stop talking and act, "
has not entirely shut all mouths. Con-
eress has determined for once, We hope,
to stop the entire seizure of that great
country by even SO powerful person
age rs the Morgan-Guggenheim syndi-
cate, and prevent that sort OF benevo-
lent assimilation.
