Question of Championship Honors.

The students Of the Lynchburg High
School have been amused not little dur
ing the past week by announcement from
Hampton that theshigh schools of Hamp-
ton and Alexandria are to play there for
the high school foot ball championship.
and Coach Groome of the squad here has
received a complimentary ticket to the
game, witch is billed as championship
game" The Hampton and Alexandria
teams it is said, appear to believe Lyncn-
burg was afraid to accept challenges to
play those teams here. but these chal-
lenges came after Lynchburg had broken
training and the season was over.
Ii is claimed here that the state high
school championship was settled this year
In the most decisive manner on record
In this portion of the state Lynchburgh
was true of Richmond in the eastern
portion OF the state. and when these
teams came together it was to more near
ly dispose of the championship than was
ever the case before. Lynchburg won a
hard fought game and claimed the cham
pionship.
Hampton has no claim to the cham
pionship because that team was defeated
by Norfolk, which in turn lost to Rich
mond. Alexandria, as far as Is known
here, has played no Virginia high school
games Alexandria has been eliminated
from the count, II the scores have been
reported correctly here. 1t is understood
that Alexandria dropped TO Randolph
Macon Academy of Front Royal. That
school lost to Randolph Macon Academy
of Bedford City, which afterward was
defeated BY the Lynchburg High School.

Young Ben interviewed pretty nearly
every member of the House. He didn't
wait for an introduction, but clambered

makers. From the democratic side he

friends. He leaned against Representa-
tive Mann of Illinois while that states
man was shooting sharply pointed par
liamentary arrows at Ben's own father.
The little boy gazed calmly into the face
of Representative Serene Payne as the
great tariff expert appeared to be sleep
ing peacefully at his deck. He rolled
upon the middle aisle and forced Repre-
sentative Ollie James to step over him.
while the child himself was unmindful
of the gigantic figure passing over him.
Altogether it was a fine day for Ben,
and the friends he made all asked him
to call again.
Gov. Dix of New York also visited
the House of Representatives yesterday.

Occoquan Farm a Model.

The subcommittee of the commission in
vestigating the feasibility of the establish
ment of a workhouse for the vicious
criminal element of Lynchburg paid visit
this week to the Occoquan farm. which is
maintained for a similar purpose by
Washington in Fairfax county. The COM
mittee expressed its pleasure over infor-
nation cleaned on the trip and for cOur-
tesies accorded it's members in Wash
ington. The committee is expected to
send another subcommittee to Green's
borO, n. c., for an investigation there,
after which it will probably send it's rec
concentrations to the city council. 1t is
generally believed that provision will be
made in the municipal budget for 1894
for the purchase of d farm near the city
for the establishment of a workhouse.

municipal government, and up to this
time the residents have had to content
themselves with oil lamps for lighting in
the homes and for street purposes. 1t Is
only within the past month or two that
these $500 people have enpoyed the

Daniel Memorial Planned.

There is no doubt that the city council
will provide the site for the proposed
monument to be erected by the people
Major John w. Daniel, for which the
city is to pay the sum of $4,000. The
site proposed to be bought. on which the
city has an option, is near the new high
school building and in a triangular
square, bounded by three streets in an
uptown residential section. Nearly all
of the $4,000 needed for the monument
has been secured and Sir Moses Ezekiel
is at work on the likeness of the former
statesman. The unwilling will probably
take place some time next summer.
The committee of the various CONNER
cial organizations of the city, which has
secured funds sufficient for the establish
ment of a Great White Way" in the
business section of Main street. now has
the matter about ready to put up to the
city government: which will be expected
to make appropriation for the additional
cost Of the electric current. The work
has practically reached the stage where
contracts can be let.
Chatham the county seat of PittSyl-
vania, Virginia's largest county, is having
internal trouble just now in a way that
does not bother municipalities with larger
population. The town has a couple of
lines of fire hose. At least, that Is what
the outfit purportS to be. but now the
town is worked up over the fact that if
there should be fire the town sergeant
would have to execute search warrant
to locate the fire-fighting appliance. Con-
tractors and others have discovered the
fire hose to be convenient for their uses,
so they just borrow it when they want
it and the residents wonder what might
haDpeQ in case of fire.

the District of Columbia and portions
of West Virginia, will be interested in the
announcement that the synods orphans
home, located on the outskirts of Lynch
burg, is to be doubled in size during the
next year, the trustees having decided
upon the erection of two additional cot
tageS. There are now fifty boys and girls
in the Orphanage, and the new buildings
are to furnish facilities for sixty more.
The orphanage has been built anew
since the memorable fire three years ago.
when five little girls lost their lives. the
new buildings being located on another
part of the large Orphanage farm. The
front was sold to the Peakland Place
syndicate. which has improved it and
will next spring put the property upon
the market as d suburban addition. An
avenue is being constructed now from the
main street of the addition to the orphan
age building. The group of buildings is
at the top of knoll and makes a beau
tiful sight from points miles away. During
the past year the thousands of members of
the churches in the Virginia Synod con-
tributed only S4,274 for the support of the
institution of which George f. CaSkie of

HAIL CANADA'S GIFT

TO COME UP IN COMMONS

NAVAL ENTHUSIASM KINDLED
Australia and South Africa Are In
terested in the Dominion's
Munificence.

LONDON, December 7.-Canada's naval
contribution has far overShadOWed the
eastern war as the topic of the week
in England. The politicians and news
papers, with very few dissenting voices.
welcome the Dominion's gift for it's
own sake. and as a memorable step to-
ward consolidating the empire.
Uncertainty exists as to whether the
government proposes to receive Canada's
ships as an addition to the minimum
fleet considered necessary to maintain
naval supremacy or as a part of that
fleet.
Lord Charles Beresford will ask as
surances in the house of commons that
the ships constitute an addition to the
English program. not part Of it.
Inquire as to Conditions.
Lieut.. Col. Arthur Hamilton Lee,
unionist member for South hants, who
was civil lord Of the admiralty in 1903,
proposes to ask when the orders will
be placed, when the ships will be COM
pleted and whether any conditions are
attached to the Canadian offer.
Joseph Martin, a former Canadian,
who sits for East st. Pancras. will ask
why, If the admiralty memorandum dis
close that the navy should be strength
ened without delay, the government
should hand over the obligation to
Canada.
Committee of imperial Defense.
The only Feature of the new policy
causing uneasiness is the innovation Of
giving the colonies a place on the COM
mittee of imperial defense. The Man
chester Guardian says:
From the English viewpoint we view
with distrust the admission of a Cana
dian representative to the committee Of
defense, especially when he is armed
with the power, If his advice is not taken,
Of withdrawing nearly half a squadron
from the imperial navy.
I'VE are certain that this power would
not be exercised frivolously or at a time
of national danger, but the fact that 1t
exists would give the Canadian member
of the committee more than ordinary in
f1uence."
Kindles Naval Enthusiasm.
Dispatches from Australia and South
Africa report that Canada's munificence
is kindling naval enthusiasm in those
dominions The report of a gift of war
ships from the Indian princes proves to
be a canard. midas financial load is al
ready so heavy that English opinion
deprecates any attempt to- induce the ma
tive rulers to embark On new expenses.
If the smaller colonies fall into line
Great Britain may find herself embar-
raised by offers of more ships than she
would be able to build and support.

Noted Change.

markable thing done by Atlanta's
blind coroner, Paul Donahoo, the
other day on Marietta street
Although totally blind, Mr.. Dona-
hoo goes everywhere alone, find
ing his way apparently by some
subtle sixth sense.
There is a boot black stand on
Marietta street, half way the
block west from Peachtree where
he often has his shoes shined.
On this occasion Mr.. Donahoo,
walking with his usual assurance
came to a place within about two
feet of the chair, stepped up into
the vacant air as if to mount the
chair, and nearly had a serious
fall. His own amaZement was in
tense. But that isn't what makes
the story. The negro bootblack
found out after Mr.. Donahoo had
gone away that earlier that morn
inc a drayman had moved bis
chair about two feet away from
the usual spot.
