NTERESTING STORY
OF SOULT PORTRAIT
Picture of Bow-legged Marshall of
France at Westmoreland Club.
GIVEN TO ANDREW STEVENSON
His Heirs Gave it to Club— Sent Albe
marle Pippins lo Queen Victoria
and She Kept the Dish as
Well.
In tho wrlUag-room of tho Westmore
land Club there hangs a life-size portrait
of Marshal Soult, to whom Kapoleon
once said, "You aro the ablest tactician
in tho army of France." Tho portrait
represents Soult in the uniform of a mar
eluU of France, and tho spltndor of that
dress Is Just a trifle diminished by the
peculiar shapo of tho ■wearer's legs, for
Marshal Soult was bow-legged to a
marked dtgree— fi>o ■ much so that one
of his biographers, Who was personally
acquainted with him, haa said that, noth
ing but petticoats could hido tho bow in
tho Marshal's legs, that looked like pa
rentheses when he waa standing.
The right leg particularly Is bent Just
attho knee, due to a severe wound that
Soult received when he made a sortie
at Genoa, in Italy, to relievo Massena,
, who was besieged near that city. +ne
characteristics of the Marshal's lower
limbs are faithfully portrayed in the
painting that adorns tho walls of the
y Westmoreland Club, but apart from the
accuracy of the artist in delineating the
figure of the celebrated French general,
the : portrait is of peculiar interest in
that It was . presented by Marshal Soult
to lion. Andrew Stevenson when the
later was minister from' the United States
to tho Court of ' St. James. from.lSSG to
ISU, and at the same time Marshal Somt
•was ambassador extraordinary from mo
Fr«nch Government to attend the corona
tion ceremonies of Queen Victoria, Mar
shal Soult and Minister Stevenson became
close friends during their stay In London.
and in the course of time the portrait
came into the possession of the West
moreland Club through tho gift of .Minis-.
tcr Stevenson's heirs.
KEPT THE /DISH.
Th* portrait recalls an Interesting in- j
ciflent In the career of Minister Stevenson j
when; ho was representing this govern- i
ment in England. He: had spent much of !
his time in Albemarlo county,: and loyal
to "tho county Jn.whichhe ultimately died, j
lie sent to Queen .Victoria on one occasion j
Borne/of the pippins' for; which Albemarle j
Is: famous/ The palatable fruit, was sent
to H»r Majesty in a' handsome silver bas
ket, which was highly prized by Mr.
Stevenson, and according to the . custom
of the court, the basket was accepted'
«U3 a gift along with the apples. Steven
son, not being familiar with this fact at
tho time, waited in/ vain for the return
of .the silver basket, and while tho Queen
reciprocated the. testimonial in ; a'mbro;
than compensatory: manner, the .family'

heirloom of tho Stevensong never came
back.
Queen Victoria was so delighted with
the apples that she instructed her stew
ard to secure a. lot from Virginia for
the use of her household. And ho it was
through the act of Stevenson that Albe
marlo pippins became to be favorably,
known in England, having met the ap
proval of royalty, and from that time
there began an -export of., those apples
to JSngiand that has kept up to tho pres
«-.it day. .
A well-known lawyer of this city, In
speaking of this incident, recurred to the
fact that the presence of Southern men as
representatives -of this government
abroad has, in many instances, been the
means -of bringing tho products and re
sources of the Southland to the attention
of European governments, with' resulting
benc-nt to the South. At present, how
ever, he added that the 1C.0W.000. 0f people
In the South have no representative from
their section of. tho United States at any
of the courts of the great civilized :for
eign nations, and this led' to the further
comment that a good old Democratic
administration at Washington would" tend
to bring about a change of this situation.
WAS PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL.
But recurring to Soult's portrait, and
consequently to Stevenson, it is a note
worthy fact that Stevenson was at one
time president of the Common Council of
Richmond. Those wero in tho times when
the most eminent citizens held ofiicea oi
public trust. He was also a member of
Congress from this district from 1523 to
ISo-i, and was elected Speaker of the
House of Representatives. He died in
1557. after having filled many oflices of
prominence in tho Democratic party in
Virginia. He was appointed minister to
England after the Senate refused to con
firm the nomination of Martin Van Buren
for that position. The Sonato was Whig
In its political complexion, and Van Bu
ren was objectionable to that body.
Stevenson was a nephew of Louis Li»
tlepage, of Spptsylvania county. Little
page was one of the' romantic characters
of Virginia- Ho went to Poland during
the hey-dey of that county's career,, and
was appointed to positions of high minis
terial capacity. Hi subsequently returned
to Virginia, bringing with him a wealth
of experience and numerous souvenirs
gathered during his life in Poland and
Russia. .

NEED MOKE POLICEMEN
Major Howard Says Work of the De
partment is Handicapped.-
In an interview yesterday Major
Howard said that tho Police Department
was to a large extent handicapped by
the lack of a sufficient force. He"'was
asked about the number of petty rob
beries that had been reported recently,
and said:
"We ."could, probably, bo better . atile to
cope- with the situation If we had more
men at our command, but as it "is. now,
we are making a ' fine record, as is
shown by my annual report, in which it
is stated that 6,153 arrests were made
last year.
"Many of tho petty cases aro due to
the carelessness on the part of house
holders ■ themselves. People ■ will leave
their doors unlocked, will fail to securely
fasten their windows. '■ No • one can tell
how often attempts have been made to
enter houses, frustrated by locked doors
and windows."
"If citizens would uso care themselves
In such thinga; the petty thief .would be
practically thrown, out of business."
Of the number of robberies reported re
cently no heavy losses have been sustain
ed, and In several instances the methods
practiced by -the thief or thieves is the
same, indicating that tho same person
or persons are doing most ot the work.
"As an instance of what is. expected of
6ne man on^'duty,". said Major Howard,
."here Is one beat- covering fifty-six blocks.
We have but one man. to put on. that beat.
Can he possibly cover : it as it should be
covered? Thieves watch the police and
when they go In pairs one watches^ tha
otflcer and kfeps him* in sight 'while tho
other attends to the .'job.' "

TRUCKERS AT WON
Prepa:ations Going Forward for
a Larger Tomato Crop
Than Ever Before.
HEATHS VILIvE, VA., Jan. 24.— Tho to
mato raisers, or rather tho truckej-g of
Northumberland county, aro busy prepar
ing their hotbeds for: tha reception of
the eced. Throus"hout tho entire day
tho trucker is toiling at the food of a
hill sido or In some protected and sun
ny place, v.-ith spade, ralce and hoe and
smiles to himself as ho thinks of the
reward ho will*- receive in the hot and
sultry days of June and July. The rais
ing; of tomato plants is in no- way. an
easy. Job;-, for they require considerable
attention; if the sun shines hot on the
glt-ss but for a short timti they, will
scorch, and if oh tho other hand, they
-get tho least bit: too cold, they •'■will die
one has to always be on .the lookout
for the temperature of h'3 plant-bed or
else he will have -no plants. Indeed with '
all the attention. It. is but-few, who axe
successful: even, after many years' expe
rience many fall.
■ A. trucker .who --.-wishes to , raiso to
matoes for tho early "city ■ markets must
raise at least ihrco or . four times as
many 'plants as it. requires to. set out the
field once, ,fo;- just in oneTcold- night, ho
may,:lose :all he has set-out and. must
have enough to reset: with,. then he has
the worm with which: he must, contend;-.
-Even after the plants aro" nearly done
growing.- they are not entirely out .'of
danger, for they 'are sometimes "destroyed
by. late : frosts: . However, with.' all ■ the :
[ work .. and : trouble ' this ■ branch' : of truck
ing requires, -the profits are so -largo, that,
but few ■o f our farmers : can ; refrain from ".
'giving -it a trial." -It ( seems as though
during past _; years. the farmers have b-sen
- mor.e successf ul with '. a variety.^ of tho ' to
mato known us "Mall's^ Early," and this
year, they; cannot . be : procured, : owing -to
this i the . farmers . are very much upset.;
; vFor the: first time in quite: a number of
years, the facilities for shipping : on tho"
. Potomac • are ;.very - poor. Only one : steam
erplies between /-Washington.;' Baltimore'
and -here, rand' niost of the".trips of .- this
