wind of notoriety in New York yester-
day by making savage attack upon n

been released in the first assault charge.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal GER
tainly has little knowledge Of the
temper OF the people OF the eighth CON
gressional district when it says:
Certain people would do well to
move slowly in the matter of advocat.
ing the redistricting of the state so as
to take Richmond county out of the
first district, and put it into the eighth.
The point is that Representative Jones
lives in Richmond county and to put
him in the eighth might mean keeping
him in the house and retiring Repre-
sentative G. c. Carlin."
The eighth district overwhelmingly
regulated Mr.. Jones in his recent SEN
aturial aspirations but his last defeat
would not be a circumstance to the
one, should he oppose Mr.. Carlin.

Submarines at Sea.

Equilibrium is almost as difficult to
maintain for submarine vessel as for
an aeroplane. With modern large sub
marines the act of diving is performed
when the vessels have Roadway. The
bow is depressed by horizontal rud-
ders and the vessel moves obliquely
downward. The desired depth having
been attained, the steersman must so
manage the horizontal rudders that
the vessel shall practically maintain
its aevel; but, in fact, its course be-
comes really an undulating one.
There must be no movement Of men or
weights in the vessel without tmmed1-
ate compensation to restore and main
tain the balance, else the submarine
NAV dive to a disastrous depth. Man
nal control has been found better than
automatic control

the regular curtains each berth was
provided with a mosquito bar, which
added to the general discomfort. Pas

Part Of the car was reserved for local

BISHOP HAMILTON ON DIVORCE.

Bishop John w. Hamilton, OF New
York, attacked the courts of the coun-
try in a speech before the sixty-tifth
session Of the Wisconsin Annual Meth
odist Conference in Milwaukee yester-
day. He characterized the divorce
courts as bargain counters for domes-
tic profit" He denounced the delay
in getting cases heard, citing one In
stance in New York where he said a
case had been pending for 81 years.
Bishop Hamilton said the country was
in dangerous condition morally be-
cause OF the great prosperity, that this
was critical year, but predicted that
When financial difficulties again face
the country, a great revival would
sweep over the United States.

ITALY ENTERS WAR ARENA.

Now that the prospects for clash
between France and Germany are
growing slim, Italy IS appearing IN war
paint, Adyices from Rome say that
the entire Italian naval force is ready,
in case of emergency, for conflict
with Turkey if the Ottoman govern
ment refuses to give it's consent to an
Italian protectorate over Tripoli. The
Italian plan according to these advices,
embraces a bombardment of Trlpoli
and simultaneously military eSpedi-
ton Of 10000 soldiers to block the
Turkish coast along the Adrialic Sea
and to operate in Macedonia, Syria and
Arabia, with a view to protecting the
numerous Italians living in those coun-
tries. This latter move, however, will
be made only as an extreme measure.
As Prince Bismarck kept France quiet
so wears ago by telling the French re-
nublic to add Tunis to the French colo
MIA, empire, so Italy is now being held
TO the Triple Alliance by Germany, or
detached from it by France, With the
offer OF the occupation OF Iripol', the

VIRGINIA EDITORS MAKING READY
FOR WAR.

The Virginian-Pilot, published IN
the busting little city of Norfolk, Va,
has been lectured by the Gordonsville
(Va,) Gazette for its attitude in the
recent Senatorial primary campaign
in that state, and from the Virglnlan'
Pilots reply we infer that it has been
threatened with political excommunl-
cation. Gordonsville, it may be re-
marked in passing, is thriving town
on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
and is known to travellers and to fame
as the great fried chicken centre OF
the universe. The popularity OF the
Gordonsyille chicken is that it runs
entirely to legs. Some local Luther
Burbank has, by an ingenious process
Of evolution, produced breed WHICH
is all legs, SO that when the hungry
tourist, leaning from the car window
in answer to the enticng cries CT
countless colored food purveyorS OF
both sexes, seeks to purchase a
little snack" he finds q new variety
of fowl which has no variety what
ever in its make up. However clever
this development may be from Il
purely evolutionary or scientific point
of view, it has, together with the anti
ouity of some OF the specimens, created
prejudice in the outside and travelling
world against the chickens made IN
Gordonsyille, and the town itself has
unjustly become associated in the pub
lie mind with this monstrous and freak
ish food.
1t is for this reason, perhaps, that
the Virginian Pilot wakes wroth at
being taken to task by the Gordons-
Vile Gazette, paper published in a
town whose chief industry is founded
on q violation OF the laws OF nature.
To the intimation that it will be dis
cipilined by the powers that be, 1t
does not care tinker's imprecatlon
for the Gazette's treat" and adds:
The nominees of the Senatorial prlm-
airy will be supported by this paper TN"
der sense of duty, not TO curry the
favors or to placate the resentment OF
the successful candidates. When the
Gazette tells us that Martin and Swan
son will not forget the Virginian-Pllot,
such vaporing deserves nothlng but
derislye ridicule. Is our offer to be
confscated and presented to the Cor
donsville editor as a reward for playing
none but loyal music OH his wheezY
organ? Or is our issue to be denied
circulation through the mails? Or are
we to be accommodated from the
party communion and lodged in cell
at Fortress Monroe for treason? 1t Is
to laugh!
This looks like a case for information
al arbitration, and we trust some one
will ask President Taft, in the interest
of peace, to invoke the new treaty at
once to dispel this alarming Virginia
war cloud. Otherwise there may be
bloody strife between the standpat
editor OF the Gazette and the insurgent
editor OF the Virgiuian-Pilot. Il Balti-

II Germany is urging Italy, a collision

Mesmerism.

Frederick Anthony Mesmer, the
foundc. Of mcsmerism, was q German
physician of Merseberg. His thesis
setting forth the science Of mesmer-
ism was published in 1766. Mesmer
contended that the heavenly bodies diff
fused through the universe q subtle
fluid, which acts on the nervous sys-
tenn of all animated beings and espe-
cially upon that Of man. He gained
great number Of followers and realized
a splendid fortune. A committee OF
physicians and philosophers" inVes-
tigated his pretensions, which were
finally exposed in 1884. NotWithstand-
ing this, however, Mesmer continued
to have many friends and followers,
so great was the personal magnet

CONGRATULATIONS TO BORDEN

Sir James Whitney, premier of On
tario, wired his congratulations to r.
L. Borden, the premier elect OF Canada,
Yesterday. Considering the possible
results which hung upon the decision
OF Thursday, said Sir James, in my
opinion no such good work was ever
done in British America before, and
having regard to ITS effect on the future
of the empire doubt if any one days
work in the old country in modern
times ever signlfed so much. There
will be 40 more attempts by pretend
ing friends OF British institutions to en-
courage policies which would surely
tend to the disintegration of the en-
pire. think another effect OF yester-
days work was that our neighbors in
the United States may possibly stop
and devote five minutes time to con-
slider the fact that there is another
country besides their own on this CONT
nent and one that must be reckoned
with seriously. Serious consequences
may ensue fot President Taft who took
such pains to congratulate the editor
OF certain newspapers on the great work
done by him in furtbering the gospel
OF rec 'procity."

Canada's Reciprocity Election

The election in Canada today is enough in doubt to enable both lib- erals and tories to claim a victory. The trend is, however, thought to be against the tories, who have tried to excite fears of annexation. The spirit of imperialism has been invoked and every one who loves the motherland has been asked to cling to the flag. The liberals on the other side have presented trade advantages and greater prosperity. It stands to req son that material policy will win over one merely of sentiment, and hol- low at that.
 Premier Laurier, who leads the lib- erals, is TO years old, and he has de- livered just about TO speeches. R. L. Borden, the tory chief, is also on the stump, speaking every day and every night. He will become the premier if the new house of commons is anti liberal. His chance of busting the liberal leader is not, however, prom ising. The betting indicates a lib- eral victory and an acceptance of the reciprocity agreement. Of and by it. self this agreement will fracture the Aldrich-Payne-Smoot tariff, and all but the standpatters in this country are anticipating a liberal victory in Canada today. The ginger is oozing out of the tory campaign as the hour of hard common sense at the polls
