FOR SERVICE IN MEXICO.
Captain of Harrisonburg Guards OF
Lookout for 100 Men.

Harrisonburg, Va, Feb. 24-Sever-
al days ago Capt. William Weiner, Of
the Harrisonburg Guards received
from the war department Instructions
to ascertain if 100 men could be Sc
cured here who would be willing to
engage in actual service in case OF
war with Mexico. Blanks and other
papers were sent for the signatures
of volunteers. Captain Weiner also
received instructions to examine and
test the ammunition on hand.
The captain said that he did not
known what effect the overthrow Of
the Madcro government will have or
the situation. but in the absence of
further orders from the department
he will procede to secure 100 men if
possible, who would be willing to par
ticipate in actual warfare if called
upon by the government. The list is
what is termed the "reserve list" and
does not amount to regular enlist
ment, but is rather mere volunteer
of service on the part Of citizens to
stand by the government in case their
services in the army would be neces-
Sary.

Staunton, Va, Feb. 24.-Luther B.
Bosserman, who was shot Thursday by
A. D. Worth when the latter was sur
prised in Bosserman'S home with Mrs.
Bosserman, bids fair to get well.
The ball in the chest broke a rib, and
this gives his physicians their only
concern. The ball that entered his
groin passed through metal match
box, igniting the matches, and the
metal checked the progress of the
ball so that it stopped short Of pene-

NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
SCARCITY OF WORK.
Republicans Believed to be Throwing
Work Where They Can Win.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 24.-Scarcity Of
work at the Norfolk Navy yard has
resulted in the furlough and discharge
outright of several hundred mechanics
who have been employed there IN Tor
some time.
Most of the furloughs and dis
charges have come from the machln-
cry division. Today there were dis
charged twelve electricians and as
many boilermakers were laid off on
furlough.
The only reason assigned is scarcity
of work. Some Of the furloughed
men have been able to secure employ
ment in outside shops on the Norfolk
and Portsmouth side OF the river
while others have not been so fortu-
nate.
It is believed that the scarcity Of
work at the Norfolk Navy yard has
been brought about by reason OF the
fact that the Republican administra-
ton at Washington has sought TO
throw all the work it could as it was
going out of office to the navy yards
in those states, where there would be
a chance of Republican victory in the
next elections.

Truett later recovered his memory

this probably was responsible for his
mental condition. However, he could
not remsmber how he got to Norfolk

this city.
Mrs. Truett was telegraphed at
Willard and replied that some mem

to take Truett home. The man says
that he never drank or smoked in his
life and is unable to ascertain any
reason why his mind should have be-

MISS SELOVER
PROVES THE BEST
BREAD BAKER

The final decision on the bread
entries in the baking contest, being
participated in by members of the
Domestic Science Glass OF the VIII
mington High School, was given by
the judges yesterday afternoon, when
twenty loaves of white and brown
bread were judged according to their
respective merits, at the salesroom Of
the Wilmington Gas Company, where
the entries are being exhibited.
Miss Katherine Selover, of No. 3
East Fourteenth street, is the fortu-
nate winner Of the first prize, an
Oriole Cabinet Gas Range. her loaf of
bread being No. 13 in the contest.
Usually supposed to be an unlucky
number. but surely lucky for her when
one considers the fine prizel.
Miss Viola Conner, Of No. 2610 West
Seventeenth street. whose loaf was
No. s in the contest, came in second,
receiving a portable gas lamp.
A Griswold Gas Waffle Iron, award
ed for the best loaf of brown bread,
was won by Miss Mildred Robertson,
of No. 81 Van Buren, street, the
lucky number being 10. AS at the
preceding test, all the loaves of bread
were cut, then judged from all points,
individually The bread-knife was
be-ribboned with the colors of the
High School, a small courtesy which
was appreciated by members Of the
Domestic Science Class, quite a num-
her of whom were present yesterday
A number of the High School boys
,vero pregent also. and showed as keen
an interest as the young women.
Gould It be that the interest was a
personal one. and they were taking
notice with a view to future 'loaves
of breadFO
The judges were. through the
courtesy Of the management present
ed with bouquets of beautiful pansies
Today will be "Cooky Day" when
doubtless the entries and attendance
will both be larger.
