Der that beyond the cloud, however
dense, silver ray is hidden. Has the
cloud so cleared from our mortal vision
in this dark sorrow as to disclose that
ray? Statistics gathered in recent
years show that more Bishops have
gone from this one church than from
any other church in the Virginia diocese.
Strange to relate that after lapse of
sixty years from the date of the oc-
currences above stated, after Richmond
had so widely extended her borders,
after every acre of soil for miles in all
directions had echoed to the football of
great armies in a devastatingsswar of
four years at the cost of a million of
lives and three and half billions in
dollars, just across Broad street from
the Monumental Church." an over
crowded gallery in the State Capitol
went down upon the crowded floor of
the House of Representatives, crushing
that floor burdened with human beings
to the basement and killing within three
or four of the same number killed by
the burning of the theatre one hundred
years ago. RELLIM.

A DlREFUL CALAMITY
Centennial of the Burning of an Opera
House In Richmond.
o the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
The night after Christmas, the even
ing of December &c, 1911, the most APP
palhng disaster known to that time in
the United States, occurred in the city
of Richmond The very flower of the
social and civil life OF the city gathered
in the theatre fronting on Broad street
close to the beautiful grounds of the
capitol. A packed house, from the
fashion and culture of a metropolis
noted even then for the beauty of its
ladies and the tone of its gentlemen,
was there in joyful anticipation of an
entertainment most pleasing to wit
ness. Raymond, it is said, was the at
tractive star bright in the theatrical
armament that fated evening, and he
was greeted by an audience we'll cal
culated to inspire pride in an actor even
as accustomed as was he to the stamp
ing of feet and the clapping of hands
before the foot-lights.
The play was in progress and atten-
ton centered on the stage, walked by a
master of the boards, when light flakes
of fire were seen drifting from the
upper walls. AT first this was mistaken
as a part of STAGE trumpery and not
until Raymond disappeared beyond the
curtain did a reality of the pending dan
ger dawn upon any mind, Alarm broke
and spread with lightning rapidity. The
excited throng, in hopeless confusion,
stampeded and swayed as a solid body
to the imperfect place of exit, struggling
to pass the blocked and narrow way be-
tween life and death. Had reason been
permitted even for a moment to serve
her functions escape would have been
possible to all. 1t is said the door OPEN
ed to the inside and that the mighty
crowd, frantic with fright, fell like
cohesive weight against the closed door
and that after exhausting appeals for
relaxation. those about the barred en-
trance drew their knives and cut into
the bodies of many, hoping to force
fall back, but those distant in the rear
were pressing like mad men, making
relief impossible. Many threw them
selves to certain death through the

A weather prophet in Southern Penn

of Waynesboro are now swearing by

explain. In fact the assertion made in her behalf is inducive to ribaldry. What is this wonderful "uplift" that Miss Bernard has been handing up? And the propo- sition is also matter for consider ation by the taxpayers of Okla homa. Why is Miss Bernard paid a salary in that state? What are her duties there, and what has the receipt of cavalierlike attentions at the hands of notorious convicts in Arizona to do with her earning her salary in the state which pays her? And not long ago she was presented "a loving cup," by the inmates of the prison. A loving cup," forsooth. Is not that about the limit? Loving cups" are for wassailers, not for high bred ladies.
 There is considerable rot about all this talk of prison reform "up- lift," etc. It may be true that

reform of the criminal may be the object of penal institutions, but they are also for the punishment of, and to act as deterrent from crime. By making prisons palaces of pleasure, and removing from convicted criminals the stigma of crime, suffering them to run at will among the people, with charm. ing female companions, there is taken from prison sentences all punitive effect, and making terms in prison something to be courted rather than summed. In the past 1t has been considered creditabIe that men kept out of prison, and that they so conducted themselves that they kept away from the bar of justice. Under the new dispensa. tion of reform" "uplift," etc, it will cease shortly to be discredit. able to have a prison record, and a term of incarceration for crime will be but a pleasant vacation at the public expense. Then will every. body be trying to break into prison rather than to keep out.

THE SITUATION IN MEXICO.

Affairs in Mexico are still very greatly mixed, although 1t IS be- lieved that the Madero government is getting gradually the upper hand in it's operations against the rebels in Chihuahua, and that shortly Orozco will be put out of business as a revolutionist. The report is made that troops sent from the east, in Coahuila, and from the west, in Sonora, have reached Chi huahua, cutting off his commun- ications and getting gradually In such position that he will be sur rounded completely, rendering sur render a necessity. He was en- trenched in a strong position at or near RelIanO, north from EscalOn, where occurred the engagements reported a couple of weeks ago, and on Wednesday he was attacked by the federal army under General Huerta. The fight continued all day and was resumed again Thurs day morning. The first days bat tie was an artillery duel. Thurs days fight was undecisive also Oroz- co was reported to have 4,000 men and Huerta $500. It is said that Orozco's army is poorly armed /, and that ammunition is not very plentiful. It is anticipated that the troops of General Viljoen, who has gone into Chihuahua from Sonora, and the column approach ing from Coahuila, will occupy such positions that all supplies will be cut off, and render Orozco helpless eventually for want of ammunition.
 In the far south Zapata and his band are still devastating and com mitting all sorts of atrocities. With the anticipated collapse of Orozco in the north the Madero govern ment will have released from oper- ation in Chihuahua a large force which can be sent against Zapata, and probably bring to a speedy

REFORM CONE DAFFY.

There appeared in THE OASIS last week an article from the Ari- zona Democrat descriptive of the manner in which the great reform administration which in period of political strabismus the people of Arizona inflicted upon them selves, to the great amusement of all the rest of the states, and to the intense modification of all right thinking Arizonans, has per mitted to run at large in the town of Florence a life term convict, with past prison record, paying the penalty for a heinous crime, and a notoriety seeking female who has been imported from Okla homa, where she attained consider able consideration on account of her efforts toward amelioration of the condition of convicts from Oklahoma in the Kansas peniten- tiary. According to all accounts the Kansas prison authorities were very remiss in their duty toward the Oklahoma convicts, and were not returning in the care they were giving them fair measure of value for the compensation paid, the neglect she demonstrated caus- ing suffering, disease and even deaths among the unfortunates. (By the way the last word of the sentence has been worn to a frazzle by the reformers in it's application to convicts). Miss Bernard, for such is her name, investigated the conditions of the Oklahoma con- victs in the Kansas penitentiary and her published reports caused a sensation. It resulted also in the erection of a penal institution in Oklahoma and the state caring for it's own convicts. The lady was rewarded with an official position in Oklahoma, that of "commis- sioner of correction," which she still holds.
 Now, then, what there is in the position of commissioner of cor rection" in Oklahoma, which gives Miss Bernard the run of the Ari- zona penitentiary, making herself very friendly with convicts therein incarcerated, and even putting her. self upon terms of intimacy with them, as shown in the correspond ence of the Arizona Democrat, is something that has not been ex- | plained. Something has been said about the lady being engaged in what is called the "uplift" among Arizona's boarders in the institu- ton on the Gila, but that fails to
