There is a movement on foot to remove all Confederate dead from Washington to ' Hollywood cemetery, Richmond. ' ' It is reported that Lord Roberta has , issued a proclamation formally annexing . the Transvaal to the dominions ' of the British crown. ; ... , ' ' TheJmnber fire at Hambleton, W-Va., was more destructive than flrstreported, being now stated at $350,000. -d?our hundred men were thrown out o! work. Electric park, Chicago, was thronged Monday to hear W. J. Bryan. It is esti mated that 50,000 people were present. Mr. Bryan was in good voice and .was heard by the entire crowd. Thirteen persons killed and over 80 others injured is the appalling record of a rear-end collision between an excursion train and a milk train on the Bethlehem branch of the Philadelphia and Reading ,k railway Sunday morning at Hatfield, Pa. . - . , Thomas Wimberley, 18 years old, was mortally wounded at Branchville, 8. C, Saturday night, and died Sunday morn ing. There were no witnesses to the shooting, and Wimberley refused to tell his parents or the officers the name of his murderer. A young girl figures in the case. - A dispatch from Petersburg says: The most distressing reports continue to be received here of the damage being done to the crops in the counties of southern Virginia by the protracted . drought. In some localities there has not been a ser viceable rain for more than two months. It is estimated that not half a. crop of . corn, peanuts or tobacco will be made. -In some sections the corn has become so worthless that the farmers have turned their cattle into the cornfields. . Vegeta tion of al! kinds is fast drying up, and many of the wells have gone dry. All of the smaller streams are fast drying up. Here in Petersburg the water in the city . reservoirs , is of such a character that only those who are compelled to do use it either for drinking or cooking pur poses. Recently-the water nas not been fit to bathe in on account of its offensive , odor, much less to drink. Away from Home. ' It breaks parents to have their boys leave home, but it is the best thing that vcan ever happen to them. A man gets a training when away from home that he needs in after life' and which be can never receive at home. - It is1 a grandmotherly y notion that a man should be tucked in bis bed at borne every night until the day he marries and goes to a home of ills own: such hothouse treatment puts him "in poor condition for the . cold " blasts he is bound to encounter later in life.At- chlson Glq.be. . , Th Wit Mr. Beecher Kept In. In the early days of Mr. Beecher's career, when wit was unknown in the Julplt. some of the deacons of his hurcu asked him if be didn't think euch frequent outbursts of humor were calculated to diminish his .usefulness.

" The fair is a public institution, and, more than that, it is a reflex of the thrift and pride of the community where it is located. It will be what the people make it. ' v It is desired to impress everybody with the idea that they have a personal inter. est in the fair, and its success or failure ought to be a matter appealing to their rtwi4n taut V rflA - fair is the institution of a few oeonle who compose the society, or of its board of managers, and us conducted by them as a money-making scheme. It is believed that the change of hold in cr the fair will be a good move. The weather is quite sure to be settled and that uncertainty will be avoided. The date being clos to other fairs in this State will ensure a goodracinirpro&Tam. something that has always been a diffi cult thing to do in the spring. it is tne determination of the manage ment to leave nothing undone which will make the coming fair both instruc tive and pleasing to it patrons, and to this end all horsemen are asked for aid and assistance in helping to arrange a "Speed Program" that will meet the re quirements of horsemen and give a series of good races. The management will offer f 2.000 or more in race purse, with the usual en trance fee of 5 per cent, additional from money winners, the program to be so ar ranged as to have three races (2 trotting or trotting and pacing, and 1 running) on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and i naay of said week.
