impeachment to Travel.

Molly suddenly remembers that she has
not kissed her departing friend.
''Wait u minute" she cries from the
outskirts Of the crowd. The aforesaid
crowd feels sure that Molly must have
retained some of Margaret's travelling
funds and that it is necessary to have
them returned to their riEhtful owner
before she goes to spend a weekend with
friends. So ii politely makes way for
Molly. who arrives at the side of the
gate. reaches over and gives Margaret
= rapturouS kiss.
To think that / forgot to say gOod-by
to you" she calculates with real emo
ton and feeling, anI after this few min
uteS' delay the waiting travellers are al
lowed TO make their way 10 their trains.
Then there is the loving wife. who il
seeing her husband depart on a business
trip. She has spent the time in the sta
tion waiting for his train to be called,
telling him how she will miss him and
how terrifying it is to stay in the house
alone overnight. when the maid has to
go home occasionally TO a sick mother.
Far he II from the writer to suspect any
man. but it ma" be that he is feeling
thankful that ii doesn't occur to his de-
voted spouse to kiss him right before
that concourse o. people going TO Hagers-
town, SparrOws Point, ard other points
Of interest.
IrrItateS Everybody.
But alas. if ne is, The lady gives him
a parting gentle pat on his arm. and,
with eyes slightly mOistened by unshed
tears. she watches him make his way in
the crowd that is going 10 take the same
train. How handsome he looks, she
thinks. and how noble.
Then she suddenly realizes that she has
forgotten something.
"Charles,' she shrieks. "Charlps,
Charles turns abruptly-has he brushed
against some green paint. he wonders.
Kiss me goOd-oy. You haven't kissed
me gOOd-by.' and the adOring wife holds
mp her little faCe-retrousse nose and all

for it.

who must kiss their petted children two
or three times and give them parting
injunction to he sure and wear their rub
hers, If it rains, and not 10 go out in the
evening without a wrap. no matter how
much they may so desire to do so.
The gateman at large railroad station
must. indeed. be patient person and
must have great self-control. But If he

for attributing to him those sinister mo-
tives that are usually described as ul-

Mrs. H. M thank YOU very much for
YOUR dpprcciative letter, and regret that
YOU suffered through the selfishness Of
any OF the attendants of The Washing

You we're perfectly right in resenting

friends often did not come at all and
the seats reserved for them were empty
throughout the afternoon

Tai,s Notification Ratified.

President Taft's notication to Russia
CT the intention OF this government TO
terminate the treaty OF 1882 was rati.
fed by the Senate a: 7:19 O'Clock las,
night by vote of y to 0.
The joint resolution reported from
the committee was adopted without
change as a substitute for the Sulze,
resolution. which passed the House by
vote OF 800 to l.
The House will concur in the Sen
ate's action today.
The only contest yesterday was over
the substitution OF the Hitchcock
amendment, which soitened the sting
OF the Sulzer text and eliminated al
reteren 70 to race as cause for discrim-
iuation.
This amendment was defeated by q
note Of "a to IL. fourteen democrats
aud two republicans voting for it.
The resolution reported from the
committee by Senator Lodge was
couched in language most satisfactory
to the President, and so framed for the
purpose OF avoiding anv occasion for
offense being taken by tho Russian
government.

Ministers BuncOed.

There is a couple in New York who
have been mrrried so many times tha
they have probably lost count, anc
every minister who smiled over then
and babe them good fortune and success.
is the possessor OF $50 check, fol
which he gave $40 in change. The
checks we're bad.
It is an entirely new bunko game,
and it apparently worked with ease.
for the police have complaints from
nearly 80 ministers who did not for a
moment doubt the happy couple.
Rev. w. F. Kerney was the first
clergyman the police have heard from.
On October 90 there called on him a
young man, who said he was Eugene
Keller, and q young woman, who
seemed very shy, and upon whom Mr..
Kerney beamed with corresponding be,
nevolence. They were in great
hurry. and we're united With all rea.
sonable speed.
Mr.. Kerney took $50 check with
alacrity, and when he came back with
the change he found the couple extri-
eating themselves from an embrace
that brought bushes to the cheek oil
the bride. They were very much in
love, he thought, and as they went
dewn the steps and left him with the
check in his hand, the clergyman med
tated on what makes the world 90
round, and went slowly back to his
study.
But when he went to the Green wich
Bank, on which the check was drawn,
there was no account under the name
of Eugene Keller.
Since then complaints have come to
police headquarters from many minis
tiers, all with the same story. The
much married couple are still at liberty.

i NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
C0V|NGTON CONVERTED.
Moving Picture Shows and the Jug
Trade Practically Put Out Of
Business.

Covingtop, Va, Dec. 19.-For the
past 35 days this town has been stirred
by one OF the greatest union revival
meetings ever held in this part OF the
country. Rev. George c. Gates, oil
Louisville, KY, is the leader. assisted
by al the ministers of the town. over
700 persons have been converted up to
last night. For the past two weeks
the conversions were anywhere from %
to 50 escb night. Individuals and fami-
lies who have not been on speaking
terms with each other for years have
gotten together and forgiven each
other and are now friends.
Before the meeting began in walking
from one eud of the town to the other,
II one heard the name OF God mention
ed at all it would probably be in pro-
family. and now when one hears 1t,
which is OF frequent occurrence, 1t IS IN
Spirit of reverence, Where one used
to hear the boys and men whisting
ragtime tunes, it is now the tune OF
some sacred hymn. The moving pic
ture shows have about been put out OF
business for want OF patronage. The
falling off Of the Christmas jug trade
through the express company is very
noticeable.
The meetings are being held in
CRANBERRY Methodist Episcopal
Church, which has seating capacity
of about 1000 and this church has
been packed every night and people
turned away. Overflow meetings have
been held in Que of The other churches.
Mr., Gates, the leader in this remark
able religious meeting, came Eere from
Hinton, W. Ma. where he had just
closed similar meeting and over 700
persons had been converted.

PROPOSED INLAND ROUTE.
virginia and North Carolina Water
Ways Figure in Re-
port.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The United
States Board of Engineers has made
an interesting report on the inland
waterways from Norfolk to Beaufort.
The board recommends the purchase
by the government OF the Chesapeake
and Albemare Canal, connecting the
North Carolina sounds with the Chesa-
peake Bay, under the authority OF the
last rivers and harbors bill, the pro-
vision inserted by Senator Simmons
directing the secretary OF the war to
contract for the purchase OF the canal
selected by the board.
The board further recommends that
this canal be given depth OF y feet
and bottom width OF 90 feet the
total cost to be 1878, 900, and that
the depth of the canal recently cut from
the North Carolina sounds to Beaufort
be increased from 10 10 y feet at
cost OF 1897 500.
1t is also recommended that the
Albemarle and Pamlco Sounds be con-
connected by canal through Hyde
county by the Alligator river and
Rose Bay route, at q cost Of 81.
2l6,00C.
This will give a depth of y feet
at low water or ii feet at high water
from Norfolk to Beaufort, at a cost
Of So, 4Ol, $50, which, added to the
$3.50, 900 cost OF the canal already
cut at Beaufort, will total $4,000, 900.
Tie inland route has been partly
completed between Norfolk and Moore
head City. The Navy Department re-
Gently sent torpedo boat through on
a test trip.

HOTEL LAW IS VALID
Short Sheets Not at Issue in Norfolk
Prosecution of Hotel
Proprietor.

Richmond, Dec. 20.-With the sue
cessful prosecution OF Norfolk hotel
proprietor, guilty OF vi2lating tile botel
law, the State Health Department be-
lieves the law OF unquestionapIe validity
and will enforce it vigorously.
This announcement, made today by
Health Commissioner Williams, marks
the beginning OF the second year OF
hotel inspection under the provisions OF
the act passed at the last session OF As
sembly, and indicates that violators OF
the law need expect no leniency at tue
hands OF the hotel,inspector.
The Norfolk case. which, 10 mea-
sure, was test Of the hotel law. arose
over the violation OF several OF the pro-
visions enacted for the protection OF
the travelling public. The hotel man
who was hailed into court was alleged
to he guilty OF infracting several sec.
tons OF the hotel bill, among them the
provisions requiring IS inch sheets and
posting OF fire escape directions IN
every room. At the trial. the prosecu-
ton vas rested On the latter count, and
the long sheet provision vas not i'm
mediately at issue. In finding the de-
fendaut for not posting the location OF
fire escape exits, the trial justice did not
de clare the long sheet requirement
illegal. This pout was mentioned 10
an incidental manner only, but so gross
was the violation OF the law on the
other count, that the court at once con-
victed the hotel proprietor.
''Our hotel law" said the health
commissioner today, is modelled after
the laws OF other states and contains
not a siuge provision that has not
stood the test OF the courts. There IS
no foundation for the opinion, ex-
pressed in some quarters, that the Law
is unconstitutional. 1t is a good Law,
and as it has done much to improve
the condition Of Virginia hotels, It's in
forcement will be strictly maintained.
The requirements are not unreasonable
in anv sense. All OF them are de-
signed to meet obvious needs and to
protect the peopel from evils which
have heretofore, in some case, been I'M
checked
The director OF Inspections, DR.. r.
X. Flanagan, has begun bis seco q
tour OF inspection OF all hotels in the
state and will continue this work until
the entire field has been covered.

TO EXPLORE THE DEAD SEA
German Expedition Has Started to In
vestigate Mysteries of That
Body of Water.

Isn't 1t remarkable fact that so
little is known about the Dead sea-
supposed scene of one of the greatest
tragedies in all history? A German
expedition is on its way thither,
equipped with large motor boat and
modern sounding apparatus. Only two
expeditions have preceded this one.
The first was fitted out by an Amert.
can, Lieutenant Lynch, in 1S4S, and
was rather more thorough in its
work thar would have been expected
before the days of motor craft and
deep sounding apparatus. The sec.
ond exploration was made in 1864, by
the duke de Luynes, but did not com.
pare in efficiency with the Lynch in.
vestigations.
To anybody who has seen the Dead
sea at close quarters the surprising
thing is that it does not contain any
animal life The Sea of Tiberias is
prolific in fish, and the Jordan must
carry large quantities Of them into the
Dead sea. What becomes of them
Is there an outlet? If so, where does
it empty? Like the Caspian, it Is
lower than the Mediterranean sea.
Seen from the Mount of Olives on a
clear day, due east, the Dead sea
looks like a magnificent body Of wa.
ter-very green under the suns rays;
but near at hand one has the impress.
sion that he is gazing upon stagnant,
filthy pool. Not only is the water sat-
urated with salt and many other min
eral substances, but a coating of btu
minous, glue-like scum is near the
shore, unless strong wind has
driven it into the lake The feeling
of the body, after leaving the water,
is highly disagreeable.
Some people with sensitive skins
suffer FROM rash, like the sting OF
nettles, after taking dip in the filthy
pond. Whence comes this cleaginous
scum? Likely as not there is de-
post of b1tumen somewhere in the re-
gion, similar to that greatest physical
mystery on earth-the Trinidad lake
of pitch. Or there may be petroleum
among those desoIate hills. At Baku.
on the western shore of the Caspian
sea, are the greatest spouting oil wells
on earth.-Brook::yn Eagle.
