"All Should Read IT."
Richmond. Va
Editor OF The Virginiap.

Editor OF The Virginian:
sir.-Your editorial OF the Attn. entitled "A
supremely Profane Penitent" (?) is quite, long.
SO long that am afraid not very many of those
who should read 1t will take the time TO do so.
But 1t 10 all wool and yard wide" and I
wish that every man and woman, boy and girl,
who has the best interests of humanity and the
welfare OF the State at heart might take the
time to read every word OF II carefully and
thoughtfuny. 1t Ia we'll worth the time II will
take and then 1t should be carefully preserved
ana read and re-read again and again. and pass
ed around to those who have not read II. ana
should never be lost sight of until the doors
or every saloon within the borders of the Old
dominion shall have been closed for all
time, and never to be licensed again to disgrace
its fair name.
And methinks Mr. Editor. that IL II were
widely and carefully read, there would be quite
a reduction in the circulation Of q certain news,
papers, which styles itself Supreme" in Vir-
Its antagonisttc attitude towards the Anti-Sa-
loon League and the cause OF temperance, and
its championship of the licensed saloon and the
whtskey- interests.
The desperation of the Supreme is piatuly
shown in an editorial in the Times Dispatch Of
February 2S entitled Keep Your Heads. Breth-
rem A clearer instance of the blind attempt
ing to lead the blind was never more manifest
for he loses his head com pletely In his attem pit
to comfort his brethren" and was apparently
too blind to see 1t befoSe It got into print. He
must see II now.
How long will the good people of Virginia per-
NIT this supremeiy wet newspaper to blind
fold and hoodwink them? Not long methinks
for 1t seems to me almost catch the re-
frain from the battle cry of Onward. Chris
uan soldiers! Forward Charge! And after the
smoke OF battle shall have cleared away me-
thinks the licensed saloon viii be a thing of the
past and Virginia, the mother OF States and
Presidents If her officials and citizens do their
duty. Will enjoy a season of peace and prosperity
such as she has not known for many year.
God grant II may be SO!
Let me urge that you who read this, If you
have not read the editorial in The virginian Of
the 27th, will secure a copy of the paper and
read 1t carefully. and you cannot fail to be Inn
pressed by the truth and force of its logic.

CATS AT WELLESLEY.

The cause of learning must go on. The Jug
gernaut of science will grind out Its newest vic
Tins in paintive meows. that Wellesley seniors
who specialize in biology may Tab to their
fnger-tips in gore.

at Wellesley, Mass. that quarters for her feline
highness, the tabby cat be added to the farm.
that her progeny may outnumber the stars and
supply the demands OF the dissection table.
catalogue of complaints registered by own
ers of kidnapped feines with the executive heads
of the college reached its iood-tide and threat
ened to sweep away all likelihood of future sup
ply in deceased cats from the surrounding towns.
Consequently the faculty, facing dilemma Of
curtailing the course In biology by excluding
averted genuine catastrophe by annexing a cat
terry to the institution of feminine learning.
Thus only will category of scientific and in
qusitlve seniorial needs be unblushingly guar
anteed by some salaried exeoutioner. who shall
be appointed to the gruesome post of extinguish-
ing the nine vital sparks of these collegeborn.
and-bred tabby-kins.
And who can predict the far end of the vista
opened up to- the fair collegians through the ad-
dition of this quite feasible and highly practical
bic branch OF animal industry to the Wellesley
domain? Cows at Vassar, cats at wellesley DOR
mice. mayhap, later for Smith. Each of these
may lend force in faint degree toward
relieving the strain of the classic curricula in
far as they humbly fulfil mission sufficiently
obvious and thrill the avaricious student maids.
