VIRGINIA SOLDIERS
OF REVOLUTION
STATE LIBRARIAN COMPLETES
LIST SHOWING FORTY THOU
SAND NAMES,

Dr. Henry r. McIlwaine, State Lii
brarian. Is making final corrections in
. list Of the soldiers from Virginia
who fought in the Revolutionary war
which his office has been compiling
during the past three years.
The list includes the names Of about
forty thousand men. but, on account
OF the fact that many Of the Vir-
ginia manuscript are in files OF the
war department at Washington. this
list Is far from complete. The Fed
eral authorities decline to permit pri-
vate parties or even the officials rep
resentatives Of the several States to
handle these historic papers, prom
iblng. however. that in the course of
time they will print them.
Massachusetts lays claim to having
furnished $4,000 men to the patriot
army. but Its large figures are ex-
planned by the fact that q very large
proportion of the Massachusetts SOL
diers were short-term men and when
they were re-enlisted they were again
counted. In the case Of Virginia her
soldiers were generally enlisted fol
long periods. and were counted but
once In making UP the totals Of the
states representation In the armies
which fought for American indepen-
dence.
DR.. McIlwaine expects. in the cours.
OF time. to print this list. which Is OF
great interest to all virginians.

WOULD PUZZLE ANY SOLOMON
Pennsylvania Judge Finally Decides
That Goose Must Be Cooked and
Divided Between Two Women.

Wilkes-Barre. PA dispute over
the ownership Of a goose was settled
the other day by Aid. John F. Dono-
hue, who is famous locally for his
common sense adjustments of law
suits.
Mrs. Alice Kreiger Of Shickshinny
charged Mrs. Louis Pelinus with the
theft OF goose. Each woman claimed
the goose had belonged to her ever
since 1t was Matched, and the evidence
on both sides was of equal weight.
WELL" said the alderman, after puz-
zling over the case, there Is but one
way to settle 1t. Each of you women
VIII 90 home, will get your flock and
each bring one here. Then you will
place the ganders on opposite sides
of the courtroom and the goose In
the middle and let her choose to which
flock she belongs.
.'Of course" he added. there is the
danger of her being flirt."
The women objected to this plan
because 1t involved an outlay in rail-
road fare Of more than the value Of
the goose.
Then" declared the alderman. "the
defendant is sentenced to take the
goose home, kill 1t. divide it exactly in
half, and give one half to the prose-
cutrix."
