BROAD STREET AGAIN.-The execu-
tive committe of the Broad street associa-
ton, which was organized Tuesday night,
was held at the Office of the Hon. James
Lyons last night, when subcommittee,
consisting of Messrs. Klein, Houck and
Laube, was appointed to solicit contribu-
tons and members. 1t was resolved to
prepare an address to be presented to the
city council by the executive committee,
respectfully asking what it has done and
what it proposes to do in respect to the re-
moval of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac railroad from Broad street,
and at the same time presenting fully the
wishes of the people upon the subject as
we understand them. F = Ftrrv
The association takes the ground that
the Richmond, fredericksburg and Poto.
mac railroad ought to be removed from
Broad street without further delay, and
the street graded so as to make it entirely
level from Ninth to its terminus, and
paved throughout as soon as the finances of
the city will allow. The officers of the
association are president, secretary and
treasurer. There is also an executive COM
mittee of nine, whose duty it is made to
confer with the council of the city and
take such measures as they shall deem ad-
vlsable to accomplish the objects in view,
and procure proper plans for the improve
rnent of Broad street. The property-hold.
ers on said street and all other citizens who
may be disposed to contribute shall be So
lcited for subscriptions to fund to be
raised for the purpose Of defraying the ex-
penses that may be incurred in carrying
out our objects. Whoever shall subscribe
not less than one dollar shall be member
Of the association. The committee will
meet at eleven O'Clock tomorrow morning
at Monticello Hall.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE. "-Olive Lo-
CAMS lecture last night, entitled Success
full People," was intensely interesting, and
was listened to with marked attention by the
audience, which, despite the bad weather.
was respectfully large, and notably COM
posed in great measure of those appre-
ciative persons who attended the preceding
lectures, conveying far handsomer COM
pliment to the noble woman who addressed
them than we can possibly express in these
columns. Olive Logan has 'walked right
into the Affections of our people, and has
already exerted an influence for good which
the equally well-ntentioned, but alas mis-
directed efforts, of others have utterly fail
ed 10 accomplish. She deserves all honor
and praise for the work she is doing in be-
half not only of her own but the opposite
sex. .aE AS.
Our citizens will be glad to know that
two more opportunities will be offered
them to hear Olive Logan lecture. At
the very earnest solicitation of many, she
has consented to repeat, Saturday night,
her lecture on "Girls," and Monday
night she will lecture on "The Passions"
Every young and old woman in Rich
mond ought to hear the lecture on
"Girls." Our Petersburg friends will
have the pleasure of hearing the distin-
guished lady tonight and tomorrow
night, and we can assure them they will
do themselves great favor if they give her
the largest audiences ever assembled in
the city.

The MoDoCs. Unfortunately, we had
only six hundred troops, with cannon and
rifles, to fight the sixty-two Modocs who
bothered us SO long In the lava beds, and
the result is that our victory was not COM
plete; in fact, we can't see that we gained
a victory at all. The Modocs wish to get
away to safer quarters, and they have done
so, after naturally enough waiting until the
government troops began to play soldiers
and get themselves into all sorts of perplex-
tiles through not knowing what
they were about. However with
the reinforcement of seventy-two
Warm Spring Indians. our troops
ought to be able to do something, provided
they manage it so that they do not get sur.
rounded themselves. When the govern
ment gets tired of this sort of fun, it will,
perhaps, permit the frontiersmen who are
acquainted with Indian tactics, and who
are eager to volunteer, to try their hands
at the business. If so, it will be found to
be far less expensive and infinitely more
efficacious. Fighting savages ON scientific
principles may be a very pretty thing in its
way, and may crafty West Point marti-
nents, but little wholesome common
sense will do more against Indians than all
the books of tactics that were ever written.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-During the
past two days the gold balance in the
Treasury has increased nearly three and a
half million of dollars, and the outstanding
legal tenders have decreased more than a
quarter Of million. The legal tender
reserve is thus brought up to about two
millions of the maximum.
Z, The New Coinage.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The director
Of the mint, DIR. Linderman, has fixed the
charge for coming the new trade dollar at
one half cent per piece, which is the low
est possible rate under the law. Great ex-
pectations are entertained of the trade dol
lar as means Of creating home demand
for parting bullion, and keeping gold in the
country. Af ...
The republics of Hayti, Ecuador, and
another South American republic, are anx-
ious that their coinage shall be executed by
the United States, but as there is no law
which will permit this to be done, it is
probable that Congress will authorize such
service. - 1919 "

of these facts will lead to the science of
agriculture, housekeeping, mineralogy
and geology, and lay the foundation for
successful business life.
And finally the child may be intro
duced to the animal world. Domestic
animals first attract his attention. They
become his companions and his delight.
The dog, the cat, the COW, the horse,
are watched and trained and enjoyed
i'll the pasture of every day life. The
first business of the parent is, therefore,
to teach the child the distinctive natures
and habits of these animals. This in
struction will tend to awaken new in
terest in the whole subject of animal
existence, and will lead the young learner
to study the history of the aoiId animals
that roam our forest, and occupy other
countries.i From knowledge of the do
nestle fowls which affords the child so
much pleasure, he learns to listen, with
delight, to the songs of the birds that
frequent the groves about his dwelling,
and to study, with interest their vary
ing forms, colors, notes, habits and
history. And ere long, under proper en-
couragement, he is ready to search the
whole held of natural history, for new
objects of interest. And home instruc-
ton in the animal kingdom finds an end
less variety of objects in the department
of insects. They fill the air we breath,
the water we drink, and occupy every
foot of land upon which we tread. In
species they are countless, in variety al
most infinite. Now, the child is ia
miliar with many of these short-ived
but evidently happy little creatures.
Give him microscope and teach him to
study, with care, their habits and his
tory. And the water, also, teens with
its own inhabitants, the finny tribes and
the shell fish, all objects of great inter
est and profit for home lessons and in
structiOn. PARENs.
