Closed is the last door of hope to Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. The final word was spoken yesterday by Governor M ii'ii in a decision of remarkable clearness and force, refusing to vary In any particular the Judgment Ol the trial court and of the .Supreme Com i of Appeals. In denying n delay of execution, the chief executive has but carried to Its logical conclusion that eure und swift justice which bus mark? ed every step in a case the speedy de? termination of which nas attracted the admiration el the nation. Theui was no new evidence of reliable na? ture beforo the Governor; in the courts, the accused was given the benefit "of every reasonable doubt, and in the appellate court no reversible error was found; there was but one thing for Governor Mann to do, and he did It with n llnnllty that became his Kreut ofllcc. A foul and unnatural murder will be Justly punished: tin majesty of the law win be upheld: end many n hand that would redden Itself In human blood win be stayed At the thought of the swift and terrible end of Henry Clay Beattie, .lr A N I3XPUIIT <>V IllcimoMVw PI. w. All those who believe in the good teiiFe of the City Council nnd the spe? cial committee appointed to puss on a bow method of government for th< city of Richmond will be gratified at thl address of Controller Spende, of To? ronto. Tho government Of Toronto, which, Mr. Spence says, the people would noi tinder any consideration abandon. Is in effect almost exactly what has been suggested for Richmond. In Toronto there Is a large Council, chosen 'from wards, to represent lb ? CltlttcnS as :i whole; a Uo'.ird of Con? trol or Executive Hoard, elected by the cltlr.ens at large, and a corps of expert municipal servants, ns onglnoers or gas ;md water works superintendents, who, are ihosen from whatever place the> | may be found, for the sole purpose ot giving Toi.into the liest service thai money can buy. The result has hi en that in Toronto the elections con corn ] themselves solely with the efllclcncy, I hobest)' and fitness of the Board of j .Commissioners and the members of the Council. Mr. Spence. for exumple, Snitl tflnt hud I l.e tun for the Dominion Parliament al i, vs weeks ago hq would have been | defeated In Toronto by some 12,000 Or1 16,000 majority, but he had every hopl and expectation of being re-elected to ! the oltlce of Controller when his ores- i ent term expired. The reason was that | in Hit-'re.ctiTit tlnnt'nb the Bite was' ilrawn for and agulnsl reciprocity jjb'r the Untied S^ijtos, .md Mi. Hponci - well-kiiownyrlcg^s.otr'reclprocliy would have insured his etc f.-at on :> national issue; but in Toronto u muh':! national ' politics have ,,o more to do with lit Choice for an executive position in the city government thnti has his belief in Another Interesting point brought out by Mr. Spence was that in Toronto the , live commissioner^ aw ex>pillelb mout? hers of the Cdminoll Council; they sit 5n the Council, nnd must In compelled to give the Council mi explanation (>?? < \ ? : y dollar of expenditure, and must justify every executive action ot ihi ?. oiiimlBSloners.

WO believe that at heart tho people or that Commonwealth love Jus? tice and fairness, and mean to do what j Is courteous and right: theroforc, I Bleaso must be only a phase.

Republican, which followed the Beattlo case very j closely anil analytically, observed in i commenting on the news of the uc- ! Hull of the court of last resort in j reference thereto that the "Virginia I courts, high mid low, have sjxtorted tii- admiration of the country Inj handling" the case . "The Judge of the. trial court." H continues, "was a plain country lawyer, but be expedited Jus? tice, aided by twelve jurymen Who i prayed on their knees before voting on the question of the guilt of the ne- j Cltsed." Then our Springfield contem? porary notes that the State Supreme Court of Appeals denied the appeal for a writ or error "with simple, terse announcement," which it quotes, and In conclusion says- "The courts have done their part to perfection: they arc ft credit to the State." We thank the Republican for Its word of truth and appreciation. Thnt with the lights before them the courts have done their part to per? fect ion cannot j,,. gainsaid. Moreover, wo can add with .lust pride and satis? faction that, taking the history of the Virginia judiciary as a whole. In thU ease the courts only reflected tilts record of the Virginia bench from the days of the old "unrccompensed." (roe service bench of magistrates down to the present. The courts of Virginia, "high and low,'' have, with the rarest "i exceptions, been n credit and an honor, Indeed, not only to the Judi? ciary or tin.- Stute, but to Ihui of the nation as well. Wo can recall but three eases ol ludlclul scandal in all the Common? wealth's' court annals. In one of these no action Whs taken because the State, by the grace of reconstruct l.?li, und its aftermath of black-and-thn poli? tics, was In the hands uf political Philistines and dc8tructloiil8ts. The other two. how, ver, were promptly, almost summarily disposed of, to the vindication til Virginia's good name, and tliis through the legislative ma? chinery provided for dealing with Ju- ! dieial Incompotoncy and preserving i the ermine pure and undolllcd. This eenilnunnec of brave and in? telligent service by the courts has be come ;< part of the lite of Virginia. I In newer and cruder States, wiieri j judges without background administer law without morals, ih - recall may I seem the readiest \v?j to better things. With such lamentable affairs Virginia bus no concern. Here the judges are! P ire.uragoous and Upright, and ths judicial wrongs and rights of modern j Invention for \Ve8UsTlt State* have I neither piirt nor lot in Virginia'.- I armory of political remedies: ito\\ i <> ki;i:i' itt \ ps now \.

Nobody wants to rob the prcperty owner, but every one wants Inexpensive homes nnd low r< nts as a basis for a happy, healthy and contented population. DESTROYING GAME DY LAW. The St:itc laws protecting gnmo by making the shipment of game beyond the state limits Illegal have been of the utmost assistance in keeping up the game supply for Virginia .sports? men. If every Inhabitant of the lob? ster palaces of New York who wants to tickle his palate with Virginia quail can be satisfied by paying the price for it. the days of Virginia';; besl game bird arc numbered. It was because the birds could not be shipped outsido the State that they have In? creased at nil. * The Tlmes-Dlspatch ts therefor ex? tremely sorry to notice .Itidgo Wad dill's decision, by which the Board of Supervisors of Princess Anne county are permitted to ship game outside the county.

Virginia quail, duck and turkey are to be sent out in tho vain hope <if trying to sattsy the insatiate maws of high livers In big cities, then tho^j bird? will become as rare us the apteryx or the sabre-toothed tiger. If Judge Waddlll's decision Is right, t';en the Legislature had better try to pass a lnw that will be Judge-proof. THE WALKING Cl'HE. The chief statistician of the Health Department of New York says over? eating, lack of exorcise and the con- | slant use of automobiles have in? creased the deaths from heart dis? ease 10i< per cent. In the past ten years. Between the ages of thirty-five j and forty-flvo the Increase was only I 01 per cent., but between tffty-flve und 1 sixiy-tivc the increase was 21o peri dent. ; This learned flguresmlth says that! the automobile 's partly to blame, be- J cause it keeps men from walking. Hoi Is of opinion thai the best preventive for heurt disease Is just walking. "The legs and arms were made for walk-' lug,1' the doctor has discovered. Et - , puctally Is this true after a meal. Most men rost recumbently after eating, llesting of this sort, the doctor Buys, makes for laziness. The stomach and lb,, heart, be adds, tire closely related, and a full stomach strikes directly at the heart?especially, if the person is running along the three-score line somewhere. There are aotno who take issue with the doctor about tho ills that the automobile may bring. When riding in car, tho onrush of fresh air is much greater than It is when one is walk? ing, and so Iho rider is forced to longer nnd deeper 'breathing. Then, too, In an automobile one l.s necos- ? sarlly ulert?who ever f-aw anybody asleep In a motor car? Walking; however. Js good for al- j most anything. A lout walk these autumn afternoon* (ills the pedes? trian's motor with ozone, drives awUy . dull care, quickens the mind, rests the ? e.\, and revivifies the body. In Rich-1 mond there are n thousand beautiful places and parks and streets in which I to walk, and walking about in Rich? mond is it lino remedy t'or civic dys- ] pupsia. a walk impresses one with ! the bigness of tho place.

To the Kdltor of The Times-Dispatch: Sir,?May I make use of your col? umns to express mj appreciation of tht South'a great prose epic, "The Long Roll." by Miss Mary Johnston? As a human being I am grateful to her for her portrayal of war In all its horrors and in all its pitiful human ness, and In the glory of its courage and sacrifices. As an American, 1 com? mend her fairness and the splendid way in which she has dealt with the Issues Involved, not merely as local llbjagrccments, but as eternal princi? ples unfortunately set one against an? other. .V.s a Southerner. 1 rejoice in her picture of the courage and chiv? alry of the Southern army and her ex? position of the Southern cause. As a Virginian. I am indebted to her for her definition ??' the attitude of the Commonwealth with regurd to secos-1 slot! and for her dramatization of Vir? ginia's tragedy and glory as the bat- I lleground of so terrible a conflict. As c?ch of these, and as a painter. I enthusiastically admire the masterful portrait of a horo, a genius, a patriot and a lovable, eccentric man,- which ! she has given us In her delineation of the character of General Jackson.

I want also to ex-press my admlrh Lion for her wonderful portrayal of that great military genius, and for tho book through which I learned to ap? preciate Jltckson afresh as his soldiers learned to do. i-'or in Miss Johnston's descriptions of the attitude of the sol dlers toward their general?first their Indignation at thl long, hard marches which later ..n they came to realise meunt not only victory, but the saving of many lives; next their Indignant be? wilderment merging Into grudging ad? miration a-; results became apparent, and then their enthusiasm; when It oc? curred to them that If they did no! know where ho was sending them, why "neither did tho enemy," and. finally, their absolute adorfitlon of him. In ail .if this, seen through Ida soldiers'! eyes, his genius tr.kes on a new light, more brilliant und nio-o manifest.

I no little attention by declining t.. ad dress the late George Blbesco at "Prince," in the official letter which he Issue.I to him. appointing him as a principal representative of the King dom of Rumania, at the lust Internal tonal exhibition at Paris. The Mavrocordato recotyed a title of ordinary nobility, that Is to say, th< mere right of prefixing the particle "Von- to their name, from the Em? peror of Germany, who bestowed It I upon Alexander Mavrocordato. who W?a I the physician and dragoman of the Sul? tan "t the beginning of the eighteenth century, on the occasion of bis success? ful negotiations to rest Are poa i ... tween the Ottoman Empire and Ger? many, and which culminated in the treaty of CttrlOWltz In 1.889. His soli Nicholas, who nlSO tilled the position of interpr-ter to the Sultan, was un? pointed by the Sublime Porte to be ITespodar, or Christinn dovornor, of the Ottoman province of Moldavia, and afterwards of Wallachla. The title of hespodnr, which is equivalent to the Russian gdspodar, the French title of "Seigneur," or to I tho English word "fjord," was merely 1 accorded by the Sultan to the Christian Governors of hlS Christian ;,t ?vinces, i because he did not consider them, us Christians, worthy of hearing the1 TtirtclSh title of pasha, or bey. which in those dayi wer.- restricted exclusive? ly to Moslems. The tit!.- of hes.lar was purely one of office, and lapsed When tho Governor resigned his post as 1 such, or was dismissed therefrom. It i WaS never hereditary, and the Idea of ! tb" descendants of these former hes podars, who were not even considered! wormy of being mere beys, styling themselves prince, is. ridiculous. Nor i Is Iholr title of prlnc'-, based on this shadowy foundation, recognized by any of the monarchical courts of Europe. Perhaps the boat proof of what I ns ; sen. Is the fact that none of the Mavroc?rdalos, who have served Greece as envoys, at Constantinople, III St Potersburg, in Paris, in London, at Berlin, or at Vienna, have ever been received nt any of these courts as "Prince," but always as plain "Mr." .Mavrocordato.
