Legion of Frontiersmen has been by

prospector. He led an expedition to
Klondike, served in tin* mounted po
lice in tiie northwest (where he was
badly frost bitten) and was a scout
in the Transvaal war.
A picturesque figure will vanish
from Paris, owing to the decision or
tlie municipal council to abolish the
office of "organizer of funereal
pomp" at funerals. His only duty
was to walk in front, resplendent
in a three-cornered hat. dress coat
and waistcoat, kneo breeches and
pumps, decorated with n scarf of
the colors of the city, and carrying
a long ebony cane.
Dr. Mary Walker of Oswego coun
ty, New York, the noted woman suf
fragist, lecturer and writer, who
during tlie civil war displayed hero
ism and energy as an assistant sur
geon and contract surgeon in the un
lion army, is now drawing a pension.
Pension Agent Orr, of Buffalo. N.
Y-. has received the voucher of Dr.
Mary Walker and her papers were
mailed to her immediately. She
signs her name simply as Mary R.
Walker, M. I)., N. I*., and so sho is
registered on the pension roll. In a
| letter to Mr. Orr she enclosed a dr
?:cnlnr on which Is printed a poem by
- herself and dedicated to the Walkei
sisters. Vesta, Aurora and Luna who
were educators nearly Bi$ty years
iago. On tlie paper is also printed a
'likeness of Dr. Walker in half tone,
which shows her much younger than
she is today, she is now more than
sixty years of age.
According to Prof. Edward 3.
Morse, the placer Mara In inhabited.
The professor doesn’t base his stato
nient on private Information to this
effect, but on tho general probabili
ty that his guess U a good one. In
the meantime there doesn’t seem to
be uuy ground for disputing hla
premises.
In many of the Greek Islands div
ing for sponges forms a considerable
part of the occupation of the Inhab
itants. The natives make It a trade
to gather these and their Income
from this source Is good. In one of
the islands a girl Is not permitted
to marry until she has brought up a
certain number of sponges and giv
en proof of her skill by taking them
from u certain depth. Hut in some
of the Islands this custom is revers
ed. The father of a marriageable
daughter bestows her on the best d •
ver among her suitors. He who can
stay longest iu the water and bring
up the largest cargo of sponges mar
ries tho maid.
J. SHARP WILLIAMS
NEEDED IN VIRGINIA
WASHINGTON. Oct. 17.—Al
though n tentative schedule has been
arranged for the speeches of John
Sharp Williams In North Carolina,
land elsewhere, John Wesley Gaines,
temporarily In charge of democrat
ic campaign speakers, told a corre
spondent that ns soon as tho com
mittee could get In touch with Rep
resentative Williams an effort would
he made to have him cancel his
North Carolina speeches and go at
once to the Ninth Virginia district,
where his work is more needed.
‘‘There Is not the Least use for Mr.
Williams to lose his time in North
Carolina/’ said Mr. Gaines, “because
j wo have a good democratic majority
'♦here and there is not the least doubt
that Mr. Dluckburn, the present re
publican representative, will he de
feated by his democratic opponent,
Mr. Hackett.
“We need Mr. Williams In Vlrgln
1 'a, and us soon ns we can get lu
tch with him he will be urged to
go there.”
“I do not know whether he will
have time to go to the Fifth Vlrgln
: la district or not, as we may decide
not to send him there, but ho Is al
most sure to go to Slemp’s district.
“After Mr. Williams has finished
, in Virginia he will go to other places
where he may ho needed. We want
to send n solid democratic delega
tion to congress from Virginia this
year.”
Gen. Trepoff did not die a “glo
rious death,” but at any rate heart
disease doesn’t scatter one’s remains
over tho surround iug scenery.—

TO THE VOTERS
IN SEVENTH SENA
TORIAL DISTRICT
Gentlemen:
I was unanimously nomi
nated by tin? Democratic Dis
trict Convention at Hinton
on September 29th for oilice
of State Senator for this dis
trict and desire to announce
my candidacy, and solicit
your good wishes and votes
on election day.
The convention, recog
nizing iny wishes, re
strained from instructions,
thereby leaving me untram
melled to act, if elected, as
my conscience approves for
the best interests of the peo
ple of the district irrespect
ive of party. L appreciate
this expression of confi
dence, and promise that
same was not misplaced.
I believe* the cardinal prin
ciples of Democracy, Home
rule, sound money, and tax
ation only for public pur
poses, as founded by Jeffer
son, best for the people, and
will advocate requisite state
laws governing its indus
tries, without appeals to the
general government, ’ and
will also advocate that the
levy of county taxes, be they
much or lit,tie, be left to the
counties and such taxes, in
cluding licenses, be used
solely for county purposes.
I hope to make a canvass
of each voting precinct in
the district and discuss is
sues with the people. In the
event that I am not able to
carry out Ihe program, I
will apprecietc suggestions
from any citizen.
Very Truly Yours,
JATRUS COLLINS.
