WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S, 1916.
From reliable authority, we have the painful in
telligence to communicate you of the death, at tke
Georgetown Convent, to-day, of Miss Virginia,
daughter of General Scott. She died of consump-
ton The disease, in its primary symptoms, had IN
dicated itself before she entered the Monastery
She needed the admonition-she retired from the
folles and evanescent fascmauons OF the world, TO
prepare herself for the unknown mysteries of the
world TO come-ior its responsibilities and its re-

Coleman's. Whether he has come TO borrow money

upon visit of pleasure we not apprsed. OF one
thing we are quite sure That the State of Ohio is
fully competent and willing, and ready to redeem
her obligations. Reputation Is not political par
~ principle IN OHIO. No citizen there but sets his
face 'agln" repudiation. They are a noble, good
people, are the Buckeyes-tne very sort to build up
great empire OF their own commonwealth

some old papers Of the United States Bank with
Mr. Secretary Walker
