 STAUNTON. Dec. 2s.-The state of Virginia has welcomed Woodrow Will son with the greatest possible enthu- sium. Everywhere he touched at in the state made a most spectacular display and his journey was really nothing less than march of tri- umph.
 The first act of Mir. Wilson on reaching home was to retire to the very room in which he was born. He is still suffering from the effects of his cold and in that room he rested for quite a while before again making his appearance.
 Great crowds assembled to welcome their famous townsman and the house was surrounded for hours. As Mir. Wilson himself needed rest pretty

Apotheosis of the Peanut

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
 When we want 10 express ourselves as against something small and contempti- be we call lt peanut"
 But, judging from the fact that the Southern Pacific railroad has sold the peanut privilege on it's trains and ferry- boats exclusive of the shasta and Over land for slos,s00 year. it is evident that the peanut Is no longer the low and hum be proletariat but has become one of the purse proud plutocracy.
 These figures arc gleaned from the copy of tho contract between the company and the Brown News company. filed with the California railway commission The con- tract is for two years
 By it's terms the railroad has entered into an agreement with the Brown News company by which the rail corporation will receive 23 per cent of the monthly gross revenue of the so-called peanut butchers" on the local and through trains. with stipulated guarantee that 1t is to receive 2 minimum of ss00o per month. On the five ferrYboats where the peanut butchers will he allowed to operate tho Brown News company must give up l2ls per cent of the gross revenue with q minimum of SEQ month from each boat.

STEAMER CORS|CAN
 |. REACHES LIVERPOOL
Passengers Tell of Scene When Liner Struck
 an Iceberg

Liverpool August 21.-The Allan line steamer. Corsican, which struck an ice- burg east of Belle Isle near Newfound- land. on August 12. while on her voy- age from Montreal for this port. ar rived here today. The fore part of the vessel was protected with temporary repairs. The bulkheads showed little damage. Captain Cook, commander of the Corsican, in the course of a state ment when the vessel docked, said:
 The weather was hay when the Corsican colided with the iceberg. She was travelling at easy speed when the iceberg was singhted ahead by the out look. The engines were immediately put astern but the Corsican touched it
 before she could be stopped. She suf-
 fered no damage below 10 feet of the water line. The crew was called at once
 to stations and the boats were swung out, but were soon taken back to their places All the watertight doors were closed. The weather continued foggy for four days after the collision. The able ship continued at moderate speed, however. The damage was slight.
 The passengers of the Corsiean declare iheru was no panic at the time of the collision Two Cambridge students named Bethel and Stevens say they were almost thrown from their berths by the violence of the impact They llkewlse assert
 number of the passengers were panic
 stricken and that one woman called on
 everybody to kneel in prayer.
 Both students said hundreds of tons Of
 Ice fell on the decks and there was con siderable water in the hold Sunday last.
 The crew were unable to sleep in the | foreoastle after the impact. Several of the passengers had narrow escapes. Stew | ems said.
 Several Castilians on board were seized With panic These with several Italians grabbed, their luggage and jumped into the yawls. If we had taken to the boats there would have been no chance of be-
 ing picked up as the fog bank was said to be 100 miles deep. As a matter of fact we did not sight q boat for two days and had no wireless communications The commander said the Corsican did not ship any water. numoer of the
 passengers held meeting shortly be- fore their arrival and presented the cap tain with gold watch and a purse.

 q look to the team making a cred itable showing at seagirt, and do not hesitate to say that I am sure they will do credit to the state and to them selves"
 Weiss Pleased
 Lieut.. Col. w F. Weiss, one of the best shots in the country, who has been member of the Alabama rifle team at the national shoot for many years past and who goes with the party as team coach, Is also very much pleased with the splendid showing made by the team in the elimination contests and predicts that the boys from Alabama will give a good account of themselves at the coming shoot. In speaking of the team and the recent rifle prac- tice at Boyles, Colonel Weiss said; 'I do not hesitate to say the recent rifle practice at Boyles was the best In the history of the state. It was more largely attended the practice was moro systematic, and the camp more order ly than any of the state shoots that l nave dttenueu anu nave Deen U them all for a number of years past. Tho rifle practice for the members Of the several regiments was most bene- flcial and a surprising number of ex- cellent shots were discovered. The shooting was much better than ever before some of the leaders making an average of 90'per cent at all ranges. The general average was so per cent, while all of those who were contending for 'tailend' honor had to shoot bet several possibles, that Is, the highest scores possible to be made, were reg istered several times from all the ranges, which shows the fine shooting done.
 "I will say further that in my opin- ion, and I have shot on all leading ranges in tle south, that the rifle range at Boyles Is the finest in the south in it's general natural advan- tages and its splendid equipment and appointments. Our practice camp was ideal and I voice the sentiments of every man who attended when I say 1t was with regrets that the camp was broken up today. Perfect harmony pre- vailed throughout the entire period of our stay in camp and we had the hearty cooperation and support of General Scully in all that pertained to the advancement of rifle practice in the Alabama National Guard"

Mushroom Mistakes

From the New York Times
 That mushrooms are as nutritious as beefsteak Is a popular falacy encour- aged until recently by scientists. The agarics contain as much nitrogen as meat. But nitrogen Is not digestibIe pro- tein. The Journal of the Amerlcan Med teal Association points out: mushrooms contain large portion of nitrogenous matter comparable with ehitln. which Is the proverbially indiSestlble protective covering of the lobster. The Journal says:
 Tt can readily be shown that an ind- vidual would be obliged to consume many Kilograms of fresh morsels to obtain {, days requirement. of protein, which is easily satisfied in the form of beefsteak. {"
 This explains why even the so-called edible mushrooms often upset their eaters digestion. Nevertheless, Professor Mendel of Yale, who has analyzed the cd ible fungi. believes that. though not es- sential foods, they are useful dletetir ac- 5cessories.

SCULLY IS PLEASED
States Is One of Best Rifle Teams That Ever Represented Alabama. Lieutenant Weiss Says the
 Boyles Camp Was Ideal

The fifteen members of the Alabama rifle team that were recently select ed to represent the state at the inter state rifle shoot at Seagirt, N. J., of the National Rifle association left last on the Southern railway for their destination.

 New Pullman
 They were provided with a brand new Pullman car that had never been in service before and will travel right through to New Jersey without any stopovers in order to arrive at the rifle range in time for the beginning of the shoot The boys were all in excellent condition and in the highest spirits and stated that they intended to give good account of themselves at the national event
 General Scully, who is particularly we'll pleased with the team, said: T believe we have one of the best rifle teams that ever represented the state Every member who wears the spurs had to win them and while the large majority of the team have represent ed the state before they had to look  well after their laurels for the recent regimental rifle practice at Boyles range developed some splendid new shots. The contest for the places on the team were the closest l ever saw and it was up to every man to do his best to make the team. However. this year we have devoted our time, not to train any particular team, but to in- crease the efficiency of the troops gen. erally as regards mark manship. The results have been very gratifying, fof of the 75 members of each of the foui Infantry regiments of the state that attended the rifle practice at Boyles fully s5 per cent qualified as marks men. The results have far exceeded our anticipation and from the fact that such fine scores were made at the prac- tice tends to show that the boys who were successful in securing a place on the team this year will have to main-
