MISS On ACE ALLEN, of London.
Who lecturod befpr? tho Wo
man'H Club yesterday after?
noon, made an unusually interesting
talk on "Tho Idyll of Ruskin's Man?
hood-Rose La Touche." Miss Allen
is a very distinguished women, wide?
ly cultured and peculiarly lifted to re
lato the most fascinating incidents
about that author, as both her father
and her uncle, John Hobbes, were in?
timate, friends of John Rvtsktn. Rus?
kin's mother was Miss Allen's god?
mother and gave her her name, and
the two families were closely associat?
ed In many ways.
In opening- her address, Miss Allen
paid soihe very charming compliments
to Virginians and their State, and men?
tioned a great many things thut we
have in common with the older nation.
She guvo a brief history of the life or
the great author, noting by tho way,
that she was not a Ruskln crank, and
that even though "those that live near
oat tho sun must perforce see. the spots,
they did not deny its radiance." lie was
full of contradictions, both in his.writ?
ings and character, ?ind the lecturer
held up both for her audience to in?
spect at will.
In touching the romances of Rus?
kin's life, ahe dwelt very lightly on the
author's marriage and his great un
happlness. and camo very quickly to
his lovo for Rose La Touche, which w?
must ever give a place among tho great
lovo stories of the world. Miss Allen
compared his lovo for Rose La Touche
to that of Dante and Beatrice, and
brought out very carefully tho e?ect of
her Influence over his writings, par?
ticularly in "Sesame and Lilies." She
spoke of the great loss to the literary
world when Ruskin's love-letters were
burned, and read the one fragment
that had escaped the well meaning
friend who had destroyed thorn. He
was an assiduous worshiper of beauty
and laid all his tributes to that shrine
Several charming little letters were
read from Rose La Touche that even
st her very early ago revealed tho
morbid religious nature. that war;
finally to wreck her happiness a? well
as that of John Runkin.
In conclusion Miss Allen reread snm*
letters of Ruskin's to a friend, and
tho sad little sentence?"the story ori
my wild roso Is ended" when the news
of her death waB brought to ; ?? Miss
Allen had a great many Interesting
rolle?, which she exhibited after her

But Mrs. McGill Would Very Much!
Prefer to Do Some of it
Herself. j
Joncsboro, Ark.?"Sonic time ago,"
says Mrs. A. McGill, of this place, "I suf?
fered a complete break-down in health.
I was very weak, and could not do any j
work. For years it was hired help and
(the doctors that got all my money. I
tried different medicines, but they did
me no good.
Some one told me to take Cardui. 1
had seen it advertised, but I thought it
would be like everything else, and would
do me no good. One day I got a bottle,
and one bottle did me so much good I
was surprised and took some more. It
cured me.
Before I took Cardui I had headache
and backache, and sometimes I would cry
for hours. Xow I am over all that, and
can do all kinds of housework. I think
it is the greatest medicine on earth."
In the past fifty years thousands of
? ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill, to
Stell of the benefit received from Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
; surely indicates the value of this reliable
woman's remedy. j
For quick relief from all forms of wo?
manly trouble you can get no medicine
so good as Cardui.
Are you a sufferer? Cardui is the medi- j
cine you need. Try it.

ter R. Bishop and Charles Hall Davis;
by their attorneys, movo tho court to
Instruct tho said attorney for tho Com?
monwealth to withdraw from tho j
j grand ,1ury all of the Indictments so
| prepared and sent by him to tho grand
jury not acted upon by the grand Jury,
| said last mentioned indictments being
' numbered, respectively, !>., 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
I 9, 10. 11. 12."
I Mr. Bernard, in support of this mo
! tlon, made an elaborate argument, eon
tending that all of the twelve Indict?
ments mentioned contain charges
against the accused which are differ?
ent from those made in tho several
Indictments found by the grand jury
at tho February terni of the court, and
that the attorney for the Common
wraith had no authority under any
law in force In Virginia to send them
to the grand Jury; that his so doing
was. in effect, an Initiation in each
case of a prosecution against the ac- i
cused. of his own motion.
After hearing Mr. Bernard's argu?
ment and arguments by Common?
wealth's Attorney R. H. Mann In reply,
and of Charles T. Lassiter, of counsel
for Mr. Davis, and D. H. Willc?X, of
counsel for !vrr. Bishop, the court
promptly rendered Its decision, over?
ruling the motion. To this ruling
counsel excepted, and leave was grant?
ed to file proper bills of exception.
Tho arguments took a wide rr.nge as
to the powers and duties of Common?
wealth's attorneys and grand juries In
the matter of initiating prosecutions.
It is stated that seven of the new
series of indictments cover charges
in the old series, stated, however,
more broadly. The other five of the
new series state new matter. |
And in this connection, in justice to I
the defendants. It may b* said that
they have been In no way responsible
for the delays that have occurred, and
that they have been ready and now
stand ready for trial at any time.
The grand Jury at C. o'clock this af?
ternoon, after examining several wit?
nesses, had no report to make, and
at the request of the Juror? were ad?
journed over until 10 o'clock to-mor?
