Henry St. George Tucker in De-
Mand as a Campaign Ora
ator.

Lexington, Va, Aug. 21.-The
Democratic National Committee has
written to Hon. Henry st. George
Tucker, Of Lexington, requesting that
he devote as much of his time as pos
sible in speaking in present campaign
for the Democratic ticket, preferably
in New England and the West.Mr.
Tucker will begin his campaigning
early in September and will continue
until thelection Mr.. TuckeAwas one
of Governor Wilson's most ardent
supporters at the Baltimore conven-
ton, and this fact, together with his
well known low tariff views, has no
doubt brought his services in de-
mand by the Democratic committee.
A number of invitations from many
sections of Virginia have been re-
ceived by Mr.. Tucker, but he feels
that he can be of more service in
doubtful States than in Virginia,
which is notably solid for Governor
Wilson. Mr.. Tucker will make a few
speeches in Virginia.

FOUND IN OLD MEXICO
Missing Treasurer of Danville, Loca-
ted South of Rio Grande.

Danville, Va, Aug. 22.-It is re-
ported here today that w. S. Paylor,
the absconding treasurer of Danvilie,
has been located in Mexico. Paylor
left with the wife of prominent
business man.
Danville, Va, Aug. 22.-lt is re-
liably understood that the shortage
of former City Treasurer w. c. Pay
lor, WHO recently left this city and
has not since been located, will aggre-
gate about $4,000. While no official
statement is obtainable at this time,
it is currently reported and is prac-
cally undenied that the ex-treasurer
is indebted to the State to about the
amount stated above, this sum con-
sistings in the main of license taxes
collected by Paylor and not account
ed for to the State of Virginia.
It has been more or less generally
known that representative OF the
Illinois Surety Company was in the
city making minute Inspector OF
the books and accounts of the ONCE
with the State of Virginia, and check
ing up every item of State taxation
Paylor's whereabouts are not
known so far as ascertainable. Ger
tainly the police disclaim any intor-
maton as to him, and so far as the
records show, no warrant has been
issued for the arrest.
1t is regarded as probable, now
ever, that the surety company has
been trailing the fugitive, and, indeed
rumor has it that the company has
the fugitive treasurer located and un-
der surveillance and that the moment
when they deem it desirable, hands
can be placed upon him. Just where
he is or what he is doing or whether
he is alone or not are details which
are not embraced in the rumor.
There is a rumor to believe that a
full statement of the precise amount
of the shortage will soon be made
public, and that the arrest OF ray
lor will soon follow. A few days
time, it is expected, will bring the
case to a crisis and the public Will
know all there is to be known. 1t may
be that some small credits will be
found which will reduce the aggre--
cate defalcation slightly below
50 900, but it is understood that the
f,pure will not be far from that
amount.

MORE VOTE SELLERS OWN UP.
Judge Skeen Gives Least Penalty.
Three Convicted in Open Court.

Bristol, Tenn.-Va., Aug 22.-Judge
Skeen's court at Jonesville court at
Jonesville, Lee county, Va, adjourned
shortly after noon today following
the trial and conviction Of Allen Bled-
soc, James Smith and j., H. Coins.
Each of these men, convicted of
charges incident to the election law
violations, was given 60 days in
prison.
In the forenoon seven more men
came in and entered pleas of guilty
with the result that each was given
the minimum penalty of fine of 500
or 30 days in prison. Commemorative
Attorney Skaggs recommended to
the court another batch for dismissal,
contending that he had found it diff
cult to get positive evidence that they
accepted money for their votes, but
Judge Skeen denied this request and
will hold the men for trial. A re-
sumption of the bribery cases will be-
gin September q:
Quiet prevailed in Jonesville today
and no where could be found indica-
tons that the, anticipated trouble
would result, The numerous confes-
sions indicate a disposition to accept
the minimum penalty as the, easiest
way out.
The fact that there were 38 confes-
sions on the morning Of the opening
Of the present term has led to spec
ulations as to whether this was the
SO who might have been represented
in a serious threat against the court

colony there appears the following
item:
oct IA. 1888, for drawing his knife

lard is sentenced to throw himself three
times from the sailyard of the yacht
Hope and to receive from each sailor
three lashes at the ringing OF the bell"
Those Dutchmen were believers In
the efficacy OF cold water and counter
irritation to cool the angry passions.
The bell was rung every morning and
evening to call persons TO and from
their labors and at o o'clock at night TO
announce the hour for going TO bed.
Guysbert, therefore. received not only
three duckings. but also three lashings.
and doubtless ever after that kept his
knife IN its sheath when his temper
was bad The bellringer was a not
able man. He was the court messen-
ger, the grave digger, the chorister.
and sometimes the schoolmaster.
When the minister was absent he read
sermon to the congregation.-Har-

Ancient incubation.

The practice Of incubation against
smallpox is usually supposed TO belong
20 the eighteenth century. The suppo'
sition is true enough so far as Europe
is concerned. but it was no more than
rediscovery of facts well known
ages ago. incubation was practiced
by the ancient Brahmans, and their
method is fully described In the Nedas.
They rubbed the skin OF the patient
until 1t was red, then scratched ii with
a sharp instrument and laid upon L
a piece OF cotton soaked in the vari-
olous pus obtained from smallpox
vesicles Of the previous year. Such re-
appearances OF ancient knowledge are
common enough. indeed far more COM
mon than is usually admitted. Among
the major scientific theories and dis
coveries OF today there Is scarcely one
that can sustain a claim 10 originality

edge Of oriental literature.
