Dickinson of James City.
Mr. Dickinson drove over to the city
vesterday morning, transacted his busi
ness and was returning home. When
on South Front street, near Trent river
bridge, he noticed that his mare was
sweating profusely. Stopping under a
tree for the, animal to cool off, some one
suggested that he loose her from the
buggy, strip the harness and rub her
down, which with help he did at once,
but it was of no avail. The mare fell,
arose, Btaggered a few steps away, fell
again and expired, ail happening from
the time the first illness was noticed in
fifteen minutes. The animal was worth
at least $200.

Japanese Naval Hero Marvels at
Immensity of Our War
Boats. . '7
Philadelphia, Aug. 11. A' semblance
of the future strength and resourceful
ness of the United S atea navy was re
vealed to Admiral Count Togo-when he
went aboard the giant battleships Utah
and Arkansas as they lay "urtdor'on
structioh on the' ways of the New York
Shipbuilding Co., on the Delaware1 riv
er. Alongside the American ships he
saw the monster drealnaught, "More
na," being built for the Argentine gov
ernment with a displacement of 2S.00Oi
tons, the largest mau-of war yet to be
created. .
The gllmpfte which the Japanese sea-
fighter obtained of the battleships of 5
the future made a deep impression' upon
him.
A formal call on Mayor Reybura at
the city hall, returned a half hour later
by the latter, began a day of activity
by the Japanese. He inspected the!
Philadelphia navy yard, saw the';bat
tleship Minnesota in drydock and the
Kearsergo a few yards away. He was.
given a luncheon by Capt A..W. Grant,
United Stales navy commandant of the
Philadelphia navy yard, at which all
all the naval officers stationed here
were present After an exchange of
toasts to the Emperor of Japan snd the
President of the United States, fits, par
ty boarded a yacht for a ride' up the
Delaware to the ship yards, a salute ef
19 guns being fired.
On board he. yacht Admiral Togo
lauded the work of the Japanese, who
had received their tutelage in the Uni
ted States navy, indicating that almost
every one of tl.eje officers had won dis
tinction in Japan. i .

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
QUERY FOR J. R. BALL
To The Editor Journal:
In your paper last week you published J
a letter from Mr. J, R. Ball in which 1
he gae the farmers some good advise, 1
ahnut housing their cotton cmn. and hefl
especially said not put on an excess of
" "
bagging and ties,' and said if they did
there would be a deduction made, as all
the buyers had agreed to this. Why
did Mr. Ball tell us this much and not
go on and tell what theripht amount of
tare Is, he must know that a six pert1
cent tare is deducted from all of our
cotton when solL In other words when
a 500 pound bale of cotton la sold the
buyer on! f pays for 479 pounds ot lint
cotton and 30 pounds of tare; (Bag
ging and ties) and if we do not put the
30 pounds on does he not know that the
exporter adds the S or 10 pounds to
make the 30 pounds allowed on a 500
pound bale. . ; . ' . ' , -'
Now what we would like .for Mr.
Ball to tell us is how we can put this
amount on the bale to suit the buyers.
We have been ujing six yards of bag
ging and six ties which oniy weigh
from' 22 to 26 lbs, if we add the two
yards for side cover we only have at
moat 23 lbs., still two pounds short. If
you object to the sidos being overed
how would it do to . doubt the bagging
in the edges. , ' 1
Please advise us through the) Journal
what we shall do to suit the buyer and
still get the six per cent tare we are
charged wi h.' As the farmeqs are an
xious to suit the buyers, and still get
justice we await our reply in the
! Journal.
Very Respectfully,

will be given a chance to develop into
desirable seamen. The men will not be
designated as prisoners, as the terra is
generally applied, but they will wear
the service uniform and be put through
a selected course of service drills and
instruction. Good conduct will be re

believed the new policy ultimately will
lead to the abolition of the prison ships.

The Fine May be Increased to $4-,
000,000. Railroads Plead
- Guilty.'
. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 12th. An im
portant decision under the Elkins re
bate law by which fines aggregating
$75,0110 imposed upon the Standard Oil
Company, the Pennsylvania and New
Yoik Central Railroads may be increas
ed to $4,000,000 against the first named
corporation was handed down by Judge
Hazel in the United States Court here
today.
, The fines already imposed were for
giving and receiving rebates on ship
merits of oil from Olean, N. Y., to Rut
land and Bellows Falls, Va. The Stand
ard Oil Company was convicted and
fined $20,000, the conviction beingf
firmed upon appeal. The railroads
pleaded guilry and were fined $45,000,
finally disposing of the case so far as
thuy were concerned.
When United States Attorney O'Bri
en and S. Wallace Dempsey, special
agent, moved the trial of another in
dictment against the Standard Oil Co.
based on the samf series of alleged re
bates, a "plea at har" was entered. It
was argued that the act of paying the
rebate was the essential part of the of
fense and as the alleged offense in the
pending indictment was covered by a
payment for which ihe company alrea
dy had been fined, u should not again
be placed in jeopardy.
The goverment took the position tr at
each shipment constituted a separate
offense.
Judge Hazel's decision upohlds this
contention, and the "plea at bar" is
dismissed and the defendant company
is required to plead tj the indictment
at the next regular term of court
There are two untried indictments
against the Standard containing about
two hundred connts, ia-h of which is
punishable by a fine of $20,000,

immediately looked himself In on iso

window pane:
"I am suffering from the plague.
riwise do not send a doctor to me. as

four or five days."
