IS not overmuch interested in the visitors who DO
not look like tip" and in consequence some Of
the less consequential visitors go away without
learning as much about the capitol as they
should
For example the writer noticed day last
week a class of brighteyed ruddy-faced school
children from another county--a class in history
who had come TO see and study the capitol.
But for the assistance Of kindly official who
saw 10 it that they were supplied with guide
their visit would have profted them but little.
A few days before that there was Virginia

she received but scant attention. children and
school maams have no tips as "A rule to give
guides. but who shall gansay the fact that it is
all important that children and school ma ans
shall learn Virginia history?
But these not isolated examples visitors

there but they do not all have gratultes to offer

Der OF men, many OF them evidently from the
town. were busly at work on the road. And
the same thing was true on the following day in

without any wish to detract from the laurels
of Governor Craig or any other governor who

The Trginian is frank to say that 1t does not be-
Iieve that issuing proclamations calling people
to get ont and work the roads is the best plan
Of accomplishing the desired results. There is a
thousand and one reasons why the farmer and
the rural storekeeper and the other jewellers in
the country could not or would not get out and
do hard work with the shovel and the hoe on
the days set aside by the governor any other
day, for that matter. The logical plan would be
to dig down in their jeans for dollar apiece for

worked by skilled labor under the direction of

Battleships VS.. Roads

other fighting equipment is generally followed
these days by a howl somewhere down the line
from d good roads man, who sees In the outlay

scheme of things, battleshps are necessities.
Right now the program of the jingoists calls
for three battleships of the super dreadnaught

the fact that the price of one of these great en-
gines of destruction would build 500 miles of
road of the very highest type. The life of the
average battleship is ten years aud then ii goes

And the failure OF the good roads people to

fact that they have not agreed a plan of as

ANONYMOUS DONOR
GOOD To CORNELL

ITHACA, n. Y, Nov. l6.--An
anonymous gift Of s4,350, 900 to the
cornell University Medical school in
New York city was announced today
by President Jacob Gould Schurman,
OF Cornell university. DR. Schurman
said he was not at liberty to dis
close the name of the donor, and
no official announcement of 1t will
be forthcoming. On account OF his
magnificent generosity to the Cornell
Medical school in the past. however,
II is generally believed that the man
who made this gift to the medical
school is Colonel Oliver Payne. Of New
York city few weeks ago a re-
port was circulated here that gift
approXimating 100000 had been
made to the medical college, presum-
ably by Colonel Payne, tut President
Schufman, at that time, denied that
such gift had been made. or that
he had any announcement in connec-
ton with such a gift being made at
the fall meeting of the board OF trus-
tees.
The gift was actually made to Pres
ident Schurman in New York city
last Friday. but no announcement Of
II was forthcoming until today. The
sum will insure the medical school
a yearly income of about 100000.
None of the money Is 20 be used for
buildings, but will be devoted to pay
ing the annual running expenses Of
the college. 1t will be used entirely
on the medical school In New York
city, none of 1t going 20 the Ithaca
branch of the medical department.
1t has long been known that Colo
mel Payne has giveE generously to
the medical college for a good many
years. Big deficits in the mainte-
nance of that institution have been
made up by some unheralded bene-
factor, but 1t is understood that Colo
mel Payne's dislike of publicity, and
his desire to have no public announce
ment of his generosity have compelled
the university authorities to make lit
tie or no public mention Of his re-
peated and consistent benefciency to
the Cornell medical college. The
same reasons are believed to actuate
the university authorities in connec-
ton with this gift.
