's o THE INSCRIPTIONS APPROPRIATE. 11 Ic A Highly Commendable Act On The o Part of Jefferson's Patriotic Ad- C a m.rers. Richmond. Va.. SjKvial.?Two Iran- ^ dretl and fifty members of the JriT?r- {< son Club of St. Louis. Mo. togithrr ii with a great throng of citizens from Albemarle county an<i oth- t nearby ^ points assembled Saturday at Monti- u cello, the historic hunt'* of Thomas ti Jefferson, a few miles from Char- h lottesville, Ya.. to lay their tribute j of devotion at the shrine of the great n statesman and patriot. fi The occasion was primarily <i 1:3 to ^ the Missouri organization. which J bears the name of the sage of Monti- n celio. They came to the Old IXnnin- a ion to do honors to their great t-xc.ni- f( plar and to unveil at the home of S Jefferson a beautiful memorial shaft 1 nf rorl \fic5m1ri B-mnits which thev I brought with them. In years gon? by | o Virginia had contributed to the Bullion State a gray granite shaft, which s formerly marked the grave of JelTer- * son, and now stands on the campus of ^ the Missouri State University at Co- J lumbus. Mo. The new monument low offered as a graceful token of apprccia- ? tion for this priceless gift, bears the ? following inscription: THOMAS JEFFERSON. c Citizen, statesman, patriot.- t The greatest advocate of human l b r t ty. opposing special privileges o He loved and t: list d t: the people. e * * t Erected by E The JeJIerscn Club (JSt. Louis, Missouri. i J1 On their pilgrimage. To express their Devotion to his principles. ^ The inscription on the shaft whi-h (_ now stands on the Missouri University ^ campus has become world famous t cause it was written by Thomas Jeffer- t son himself, and because therefore it b chows the achievements which lie con- c sidered the most meritorious of his L iong resulted life. The inscription g reads: 0 Here was buried THOMAS JEFFERSON*. A author of the Declaration of Independence e of r The Statute of Virginia s for c Religous freedom h and ? Father of the University of Virginia, t] The authenticity of the gravestone * is undoubted. When, on April IS. 188-. *= Congress appropriated $10,000 for a * monument over Jefferson's grave, the ? Misses Randolph, residuary legatees ? of Thomas Jefferson presented the 1 original shaft to the University of c Missouri. It was unveiled July 4. f 1883. on the University campus with a ceremonies in which United States c Senator Vest. Thomas Bayard, then a Secretary of State: United States J Senator Elkins and other prominent * Americans participated. The Jpffersbn Club, which left St. Louis in a solid train of Pullmans on Thursday night, reached Charlottesville early in the morning and after breakfast on the train were taken in hand by members of the city council. The formal exercises at Monticello began at ten o'clock but the long line of carriages containing the Missour'ans and others filed into the grounds shortly after nine o'clock. At the head of the visitors was the club's famous drum and fife corps. The visitors were welcomed to Monticello by Hon. Jefferson M. Levy, vho alluded to Jefferson as "the greatest statesman and profoundest thinker of any time or country." Responses were made by Harry 1J. Hawes. president of the club, and by Lieutenant Governor Lee, of Missouri. The presentation of the granite monument was made by Hon. M. E. Penton. Congressman from the Fifteenth Missouri district, and in tiie absence of Governor Tyler, the monument was accepted by General Fitzhugh Lee. representing the Deni- I oeracy of Virginia. The folowing ad- -] dresses were also delivered: ^ "The Declaration of Independence.'' by ex-Governor Wm. J. Stone; "Aboli- r tion of Law of Entail." by Congress- T man Ches. E.

A ^ dozen business blocks, several manu- c factories, a livery stable, a church, and many residences were burned.

Willie Jones, the hairman cf the Democratic party in iiis state, who has been an avowed andidate for senatorial honors, whic h ill set the people and the politicians f the State to thinking and talking, 'ol. Jones withdraws from the race, nd in doing so makes the suggestion tat the other candidates for Senator IcLaurin's scat step aside also, and ,'t the position be unamiously tenered to Gen. Wade Hampton. Here > what Col. Jones says of the matter 1 his statement: "I have concluded not to enter the ice for the United States senate next ear. because 1 feel that I cannot give p my home business interests, unless liere be a special demand for it. i ave a very large personal acquaintnce with the Democrats of this State udging from letters received and lany personal interviews I feel satised that my chances for the nominaion to this distinguished position rould have been fully as good as that f any candidate whose name is now lentioned in connection with the sentorship. 1 would have no political E?ar to run against any man in this itate except two, namely, Senator 'illman and Gen. Hampton, because believe either of them could beat me r any other man in the State. ""By the way, I think the very best olution of the senatorial contest rould be for all of the young men rho are now candidates for the place D announce their withdrawal on the ondition that Gen. Wade Hampton ecept the position and let the old ;eneral be elected without opposi- ; ion. "Without any reflection upon any | andidate now in the field I believe I hat Gen. Hampton's views on na- 1 ional politics meet with the approval I ? practically all the Democrats in the Itate. Such a happy and gracious j vent as the selection of Gen. Ilamp- j on at this particular time would nake the Democratic party of this >tate absolutely irrestable and save , is of much agitation and feeling when I here is so much else for our people o do. "I happened in 1S77 to be one of ; he six Democratic boys who carried ! Jen. Hampton on our shoulders from j he platform where he was inauguraed through the streets of Columbia o the hotel, and today again it would ic my groat pleasure to cooperate in j derating him to this high position, 1 leeause I believe it would be for the j ;ood of the great Democratic party f my State." adjutant General Makes Inspections. Adjutant General Floyd has return>d from a tour of inspection of the nilitia, and he reports all companies o far as inspected, to be in excellent i ondition as to equipment, and what s equally important to their proii- j iency in the manual of arms and the I Irills.

Rock Hill, and Fort : -Till during the past week. At the 1 atter place a new company has been : irganized and Gen. Floyd was greatly (leased with the showing made. At .11 of the places visited the military irganizations entertained the ad jut. ,nt general, who responded in his isual happy style to frequent calls or a speech. Gen. Floyd intends personally to J isit every military company in the I Uate, unless pressing duties of his iffice prevents. On the tour just made he says the forkville company, for instance, howed up 58 men and rifles. The ommander .of the new company at lock Hill is Capt.

Great Fpiscopal Convention Takes a liigfi Stand o? AGAINST MATRIMONIAL LAXITY. The Convention Decides That Ministers Shall Not Solemnize the Mar 11^5^ vwiiam \j iv \j\ tcu rcisuiia, San Francisco. Special.?The action of greatest importance taken by tho Triennial Episcopal Convention was the adoption by the house of bishops, by a vote of 37 to 21, of Canon 3i>, which relates to the solemnization of the marriage. All of its provisions had previously been argued, except those contained In section 4. which forbade the marriage of person? divorced for any cause not existing before marriage. "For any cause not existing before marriage"' is understood to refer to such causes as insanity, inability to execute a contract, the existence of a living wife or husband, or like reasons which practically render the marriage null and void. This section has been a bone of contention, a strong element in the Church holding that the re-marriage of the innocent party to a divorce. granted on the ground or lntidelity, should not be forbidden. The bishops hare refused to accept this view of the matter. The question is by no means settled, as the whole subject now to come up in the house deputies, where it is expected to rause a protracted debate. The canon as tlnally passed by the house of bisops reads: "Canon 3G?Of the Solemnization of Matrimony. "1. The solemnization of matrimony in thi3 Church, in which the mutual consent of each party entering into this state of life is given in the presj cnc-e of a minister who. having pronor.nee.'l thrm in the name of the Holy Trinity to hp man and wife, invokes the divine blessing upon their union. "2 The requirements cf the laws of the State regarding the conditions for the civil contract of marriage shall in all cases be carefully observed, before the marriage is solemnized. "3. No minister shall solemnize the marriage of any person who is a minor under the law of the place of marriage, unless the uarent of guardian of such minor is present and consenting, or shall have given written consent to the marriage, or is permanently resident in a foreign country. No minister shall colemnize a marriage except in the presence of at least two witnesses, the minister or the witnesses being personally acquainted with the parties. Every minister shall without delay formally record in the proper register the name, age und residence of each party. Siicih record shall be singned by the minister who performs the ceremony, and if practicable by the married parties. end by at least two witnesses of the marriage. "4 No minister shall solemn;/} a marriage between any two pe'sons i nless, nor until by inquiry, he shall have satisfied himself that neither person has been or is the husband or the wife of any other person then living; unless the former marriage was annuled by a decree of some civil court of competent jurisdiction for cause existing before such former marriage." The bishops have yet to consider Canon 37, providing for the discipline of persons marrying after having been divorced. This also will cause 1 vely discussion. Spinners Oppose Strike. Fall River, Mas., Special.?The whale question of whether there will be a strike in the cotton mills of this city on account of the refusal of the manufacturers to grant a 5 per cent increase in wages was re-opened. A misunderstanding In regard to a unanimous was the reason assigned by the textile council for postponing the strike for two weeks from last Monday. Ti;e spinners voted that their delegate to the council shall insist that only a unanimous vote of the unions shall bring about a strike. This means that the spinners oDpose a strike. Other unions are yet to meet to instruct the r textile council delegates. Killed her Lover and Herself. Savannah.
