"OUR OLD FRIEND WILDE"

Our Richmond cotemporary which
dailv prints extracts from its files OF
ffty wears ago, yesterday contained
the following. which brings to mind a
number of interesting incidents In
Alexandria during the days of re-
constructions:
George Canning Wilde has re-
signed his position an assistant OF
internal revenue in the First District,
and G. W. Richards has been APP
pointed in his place"
George c. Wilde was resident OF
Alexandria from 1867 to the early
seventies. But few of the present
generation knew him or probably
ever heard of him. During the emil
grafton from the east to the west IN
1S49 when gold was discovered In
California, Wilde was one of the rirst
Virpinians to cross the continent.
The late Captain James M. Steuart,
the late William NJ. and Samuel
Larmour, the late William NJ. Smith
and other Alexandrians, made the
trip also at different times. Wilde
reappeared in his home state later
and was at one time an employe of
the court in Richmond. In 1867 "The
Virginia State Journal" was pub
lished in Alexandria by Cowing &
ellis, and Wilde became the local
editor. but he virtually wrote and
prepared all the copy for the paper.
To relate all the ludicrous incidents
in the career of George Wilde in Alex
andria during those days would make
small-sized volume, besides it would
be out of order, as it would be neces-
sary to bring in names of people then
living whose descendants would not
understand nor appreciate the refer
.enceS.--
Wilde followed the Journal when it
was removed to Richmond, but few
years later reappeared here and was.
employed, by the publishers of the
Virginia Sentinel, printed in old Lib
.erty Hall on Cameron street. He
also at times worked on the Gazette.
Some, OF, !. the most exciting, and ,ridi-
-
chapters m his history were
enacted atsthis time. .sf
: Wilde later returned to Richmond
and resumed work. on certain papers.

ANOTHER. SAD STORY

|: The killing Of Stockton Heth, jry
|by Professor Charles p: VaWter, in
the latters home early last Tuesday
morning, has caused great sensation
throughout the state. The family Of
the victim is wellknown throughout
the commonwealth, and the fact that
the cause of the tragedy and the de-
tailss'are almost secret, has added
greatly to the interest in; the case
Heth, while in the article OF death,
charged the professor. with. the crime Ie
He added that he had no reason Tor
killing him. The slayer on the otner
hand, charges Heth with betraying,
friendship and confidence reposed IN
him. There is but one meaning to this,
which it is unnecessary to suggest.
The professor must prove this charge
to the satisfaction of jury.
| Similar occurrences are going On In
the United States all the year round.
/; The great mass of the guilty escape
human punishment, but now and then
some disturber of family relations
| is killed, seemingly as a terrible re
hinder of the enormity of an offense
so little weighed by the thoughtless
| and the venturesome.
Every community has such sKele-
i tons in it's closets. Alexandria mas

rible consequences We think not.
E, Bathshebas have been in evidence
from the days of the creation OF the
race. They are often the direct cause
of homicide, and subsequently pass
their days with consciences as guilty
as that of Lady Macbeth.
The case of Beulah Binford, re-
sponsible for the murder Of young
wife and the execution of her slayer
is still fresh in our minds. This oc-
Cured in 1911, in our own state.
In the early part of the year 1877
James Fisk, jr., was shot and killed
by Edward H. Stokes in fit OF Jeal-
ousy over prominent woman OF that
day named Josie Mansfield. She died
several years ago totally neglected,
after having suffered long from a
bad conscience. Fisk was young
man with wife, and was among the
most prominent financiers of the
country at the time. Stokes was a
i Young married man, too, but not ricn,
like Fisk. He, however, was more Oh
the Apollo Belvidere mould than his
rival, and he banked upon mat Inc
woman, however, turned her cove:ous
ewes to the more opulent of her ad-
m;rers. and this caused the murder.
Stokes escaped the gibbet, but his

For the most part the Germans COM

a Hollander. This man was assigned
to work in the galley. At the end of

paper money for his work. He refused
the payment with a gesture of disdain

Makes Destruction Complete.

The ~thoroughness with which the Ger
mans carried on their work Of destruc-

Cambronne. On deciding to send this
vessel to Brazil with their prisoners they
cut away part of her masts and destroyed
some of her sails. with the idea Of delay
ing her progress to Brazil and keeping
secret as long as possible the presence OF
the raider in the south Atlantic All
papers on the Cambronne were seized and
a large part of her cargo was destroyed

Believed to Have Feared Capture.

n rescued men are of the opinion
that if the Germans treated their. pris-
oners relatively well. it was largely
from fear that their own capture was
ultimately almost certain. The raider
is slow. and they expected to be over
taken at almost any time. Their feel
ing apparently was that if the prison
ers spoke well of their treatment the.
chances of the raiders crew at the
hands of possible captors would be just
SO much better. Especial consideration,
according to the sailors. seemed to be
given the Americans mons the cap
tives on the raider.
In spite of the expressed desire of the
raiders officers not to shed blood the
Seeadler did not hesitate 20 turn loose

Interest conferred in the address of
young Bcal, who told of his adventures
with the American section of the AVA
ton corps OF France. For every aero
plane on duty in France, Mr.. Boal de-
clared. there are twenty behind the
lines ready to TAXI its place in case of
necessity.
Called Eyes of the Army"
The speaker outlined the great aid
which these eyes of the army" play in
modern warfare. and pointed out the
absolute necessity of planes for the
United States in case of war. especially
for use along the coast.
The speaker tol OF a perilous trip
he made with a companion out from
the French trenches. squirting along
fat through a field of clover, to within
seventy-fve yards of German trenches
on the Somme. The twosmen mapped
the trenches for a distance of 200
yards.
While they were engaged in this
work. hidden in the clover. and also
by the coloring of their clothes. which
had been painted to match grass, the
Germans got wind of them Some way,
perhaps by the waving of tine clover,
IDENTIFY believing that information as to
the French trenches could be secured
from the men.
Squirm Back to Lines.
The Germans. however. made use of
quail whistles to signal to each other
they. too, were squirring along hid by
the clover-and thus gave themselves
away to Mr.. Boal and his companion
their quail whistles sounding more>
"tinny'' than the notes of real quail
Accordingly. the two men began to
squirm along back to their lines, and
arrived safely. with complete plans of
the German trenches. with the loca-
tion of machine guns. etc. The German
enche later were taken.
Gen. Harvey spoke of the work of the
local troops on the border, and COM
piimented the men of Troop A of. the
