STATE GETS
A VAST_SUM
Fifty Thousand Available To
Morrow for Virginia Soldiers
DICK BILL PROVISIONS
It Will Make State Militia Equal to Reg?
ulars in Equipment and Instruction,
and Will Not Abridge Rights
of Governors.
To-morrow 'there will bo in the Treas?
ury of tho United States $49,427.20, to bo
used for tho betterment of the Vir?
ginia militia. More than half of this
sum comes through tho Bacon amend?
ment to the Dick bill, thc remaining por?
tion being tho usual apportionment out
of lhe regulur appropriation.
Tho future of the State militia is as?
sured. Tho national government, under
thc Dick bill, approved January 3d, 1G.??.
makes provision for the equipment of
tho militia of the several States nnd
territories of Ilio Union with the same
completeness and adequacy as the iugu?
lar army. All Stnte troops aro to have
tho same guns, the samo uniforms and
other equipment as the regular troops
have. Thoy are to havo camps of in?
struction when needed; they are to use
tho samo tactics,.and In every way to bo
ns efficient ns possible and ns much like
thc United States regular army ns pos?
sible. Those who saw the militia in tho
war with Cuba will understand what
this moans. Six different kinds of rifles
were used nnd six different kinds of
militia hnd to be provided Every part
of the country had Its own Idea of tho
proper slzo of organizations, and no two
ideas wero alike.
No Rights Abridged.
Joint camps of Instruction, in which
national guardsmen and "regulars" will
take part in manoeuvres and practice
marches, aro also provided for In tho
bill. Theso encampments will give tho
cltlzcn-soldlcr a chance to see how his
comrade of tho army lives In camp, and
they will also promote good fellowship
between the two brnncehs of the ser?
vice. Attendance at theso encampments
on tho part of national guardsmen will
be at the request of the Governor, and
not by order of the army authorities.
While tho President of the United
States is the commandcr-in-chlef of all
thc military' forces of tho nation, tho
Governors of States will be deprived of
no rights, privileges or prerogatives by
the operation of the new law.
Th? law, ns It stands, has been ap?
proved by nearly every national guard
officer of prominence In the country.
Colonel Edward E. Brltton, the chairman
of the executive committee of the Infer?
?ate National Guard Association, worked
IIHgently for Its passage, and it Is due
?rgely to the efforts of the officers of
he guard, who wero the best able to
?e -the defects of the present system,
hat this measure for Its betterment has
ccomo a law.
Virginia's Share.
To bring about this great change In
.he militia of the country, numbering at
Present 115.000 men, an appropriation of
;2,000.000 Is made. The Dick bill, intro?
duced In tho House by General Charles
~)lcM. of Ohio, and In the Senate by
enator Joseph R, H.iwley, docs not
0akeA?, specific, appropriation for carry?
ing ou? Its provisions. Senator Bacoii,
of Georgia, had an amendment put In
the army appropriation bill for tho ap?
propriation of ?2.??0.000 Fo he appor?
tioned to the several Stales according
to representation In tho House of Rep?
resentatives. Under this apportionment
-Virginia ought to get about JSO.OOO. Ad
3utant-General Nolle has received noti?
fication that $25,490.20 of tho amount
coming to Virginia will bo available to?
morrow. The rest will come later on.
?1?? to-morrow $23,!>37 becomes avail?
able out of the sum of $1,000,000 annual?
ly appropriated for the militia of the
several States, and has nothing to do
with the Dick bill appropriation. It tho
State gets nil the money she has n. right
to expect tills yfcaf sho will have not
much less than $75,000 to spend on her
mllltln. The transformation from poorly
equipped militia to the tegular army
basis must bo completed within five
years.
Regarding tho impression that tho
Dick bill gives tho President for larger
powers than he has now with tho militia,
authorities of the State say this Is un?
true. The President esn coll out the
State mllltla now any time tho country
Is In danger of Invasion or for any causo
he feels justifies It, and givo his orders
directly to any officer ho chooses, and
not through tho Governor,

WILL LET IT REST
Washington Officiale Do Not Care to
Discuss It.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. D. C, June 29.-R Is
indicated to-day that tho Manchurian
question may be permitted to rest tem?
porarily, so far as action at this end of
?the lino is concerned., since Secretary
Hay has left ' tho city for a two weeks'
vacation and Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, Is about to sail for Europe.
Thero are Indications, too, that the Rus?
sian government has found It possible to
shape her policy respecting Manchuria
Fit as to be more acceptable to the
united States. Secretary Hay and Count
Cassini, within tho pact week, havo con?
ferred upon this subject, and It Is appa?
rent that there havo been some develop?
ments, which oflldals do not care to make
public at this time.
In tho negotiations with China for a
commercial treaty, this government has
been insistent upon the opening-of cer?
tain ports In Manchuria, and the new
turn appears to have been given a more
hopeful feeling in that direction.

Do You
Chronic Disease?
If so, you got very little enjoyment out of life whether your purse be full or empty. For years, perhaps you have been half sick, half well, hoping for something
to happen which would better yourcondition, but would be surprised if it did happen. You well know that nature cannot be improved upon, and most convincingly
has this fact boon demonstrated by
mn mi Alum Wafer
which is tho product of the Natural Water as it comes from the Piedmont Springs, reducod ono hundred and sixty times by a process which retains all its medicina
properties.
An 8 ounce bottle of this Concentrated water Is equal to 10 gallons of the Natural Water, and only a teaspoonful is required for a dose. It Is composed of 20 life-giving minerals and absolutely has
no equal for the cure of diseases, such as INDIGESTION, RHEUMATISM, KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLE, FEMALE COMPLAINTS, SCROFULA. CATARRH, STOMACH AND BOWEL TROU?
BLES, BLOOD DISEASES, ETC. This Is not a patent medicine, but Nature's own remedy, ondorscd and prescribed by over 200 Virginia physicians alone. It does not patch you up, but makes permanent
cures, and that Is what you want. It costs you nothing if results are unsatisfactory after a thorough trial.
A Few Recent Testimonials From Prominent People Who Are Not Strangers to You.
"I have been a great sufferer from acute dyspepsia In thc form
of sour stomach and wind colic, and have tried a number of reme?

THE WORLD AND THE JEW
Dr. Cooper's Fine Sermon at the First
Church Sunday.
At the First Baptist Church Sunday
morning the Rev. George Cooper, D. D.,
preached on the subject "The World's
Indebtedness to the Jew," Quite a largo
attendance was present.
Dr. Cooper, ln reading his text, dwelt
with particular emphasis upon tho elev?
enth chapter of tho eplstlo of Paul to tho
Romans, In which the words read us
follows: "Have they stumbled that tbey
should fall? God foi-.bld; but rather
through their fall salvation is come to
tho Gentiles for to provoke them to jeal
l ousy." Dr. Cooper paid a high tribute
to the virtues and achie%*ements of the
Jew. He declared that their progress,
particularliy during the past one hundred
?years, was little short of marvelous,
and, looking forward iato the hundred
years of tho twentieth century, he pre?
dicted even greater dominance of Jewish
thought and influence in the world. At
the service next Sunday, Dr. Cooper will
preach on "Tho Power of the Gospel in
Our National History," a sermon sug?
gested by the Fourth of July.

BIG CONTEST FOR
FINE UMBRELLAS
Only the Votes Cast During
This Week Are to Be
Counted.
This week, there will be some extra hard
work done ln order to win tho two um?
brellas which will be given to the two
ladles who deposit the largest number of
coupons this week up to noon on Saturday,
July 4th.
The offer was mnde last Sunday In The
Tlmes-Dlspatch, and the statement made
that all coupons already deposited up to
that time would be counted In the con?
tesi for tho umbrellas. This wus an error.
Only coupons cast this week, up to July
4th, at 12 o'clock, will bo counted ln the
contest for the umbrellas. Everybody Is
thus put on an equal footing, and a fair
field of effort opened to all.
Tho umbrellas are to be seen at T. A.
Miller's, No. 519 East Broad Street, and
tbey are well worth working for. Each
of the two ladles receiving tho highest
vote this week will bo presented with one.
Let tho coupons fall thick and fast, Of
course, the result of this week's vote will
bo Included ln the general contest for the
outing tours, and so If you win one of
the umbrellas, you stand Just that much
better chance of being chosen to make up
ono of the fourteen parties who will spend
a week at one of the Tee-Dee resorts freo
of cost.
This Is undoubtedly one of tho greatest
offers ever mado by nny Southern news?
paper, and It Is safe to say there are
nearly one hundred parties striving for
a place among the fortunate forty-two.
Indications point to some very warm
weather, ani a week at the seashore or
ln the mountains will soon be a very de?
sirable consideration, especially as uio
bills will be paid for tho Tee-Deo parties
hy tho Tee-Dee. Return trip railroad tick?
ets and receipted hotel bills?forty-two of
them, and all for Just a bit of hard work
during tho next two weeks?for the time
will be up on July 15th at 6 P. M.
Attention Is again called to the fact that
only coupons deposited (since the lust
count made, last Saturday) th(3 week up
to 12 o'clock noon, Saturday, July 4th,
will be counted In the contest for tho two
ladles' umbrellas.
Tho voting coupon will always be found
on the third page of The Tlmes-Dlspatch;
also a Hat of tho Tee-Dee resorts and a
statement aa to who are eligible to com?
pete.
