The Democratic state central committee
of Virginia met Thursday In Alexandria,
and resolved to call the state convention
to meet in Richmond on the l4th of May.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
grave concern at the threatened rupture
Of the Democratic party on the tarifi
question, and declaring the opinion OF
the committee individually, "that the
agitation Of this question at this period is
unwise and should be discouraged, and
that all Democrats should subordinate all
differences in contention upon the
one great issue of reform Of the govern,
ment and its restoration to purity and
true constitutional principles" A reso-
lution was also adopted urging the
Virginia Democratic delegation in Con-
gress "to use all possible diligence TO
bring before the Dsnville investigating
committee the evidence which Is neoes-
ssry to refute the foul and infamous
ISLANDERS which have been given to the
public by the leaders Of the Coalition
party in reference to this matter, ana

a dark mplexioned man, about six
feet iu hight, with smoothly shRven face
snd wearing n black Derby hat and a
dark anti Of clothes, entered the jeWelry
store.of s. H. Bsynard & Co Friday even
ing about 80, ard, presenting to Mr.
Bsynard letter of introduction signed
by a name unfamiliar to that gem
tleman, asked to be shown somo
wedding rings A tray of heavy plain
rings was placed before him and he
began to examine them. Picking up a
couple Of rings he sdroitly seoreted one
in his hand, critically inspected the other
and, when the opportunity presented
itself, dropped one in his pockst. Mr..
Baynard detected the mareuvre, how
ever, but in order to lead the man on
said nothing about it, and turning
partially around, watching the move
ments of the pretended customer mean
while, saw him take another ring and
put 1t In his pocket. The thief then
asked the price Of another ring and on
being told inquired fol- cheaper ones.
Mr.. Bsynard replied that he had
cheaper ones and walked towards
his work table, about Is feet distant,
and took his revolver from drawer
Meanwhile the thief stole another ring.
Returning to the pretended customer Mr.
Baynard thrust revolver within three
inches OF his face and demanded that the
rings be returned. The man became very
indignant and after vaiuly protesting his
innocence returned two of the rings. The
other one being demanded, he finally
placed his hand in his pocket and in
pulling out a glove the ring fell On the
floor.
A clerk promptly telsphoned for police
ottiaAFs, sud Mr. Bsyustd kept the man
u2trrd with his revolver and warned
I'm not to move, Threats had no effect
shstrver OH him and, followed by Mr..
Bsy nerd. be calmly walked to the front
door. Arriving there he placed his hand
IN his Lip pocket and said 'y1u had

Having received his property, Mr.. Bay
"ari did not f44i justified in shooting the
'o&n. lie wsFntd d him, however, that he
would shoo. if any attempt to opsn the
door was msdr. Without utteripg
word, the thief opened the door and
calmly walked out. Reaching the side
walk, he darted around the corner, ran
along Fifth street aud disappeared up

The Second May Music Festival
Gersfer 10 Appear Four Times.


The Philadelphia Epening Bulletin says:
Tbs Musio Festival Association is
rapidly perfeotipg its final arrangements
for the series OF grand concerts which
will form its seeond musical festival ,oom-
menciog May 9Th. The principal choral
works will be Memberships "Elijah," 7"
Verdi's Mspzoni Requiem Mass, Gade's
Cantata, "rhe Crusaders," Bach's Can
tats, "dod's Time is Best" Hiller's Can
tsta, "song of Victory" and Brahms
ave Maria" With the exception of
"EIijah" and Bach's cantata, none of
these works have been performed in this
city.
The directors have secured the services
of Madame Gerster, who will sing on four
occasions, in the "Elijah'' and in three
of the other concerts. 1t is needless to
say that Madame Gerster's name is a
tower of strength to the already strong
programme, and the management de-
serves special oongratulation upon her
engagement. The directors have also
concluded engagements with number of
first-olass soloists, among whom are Nine.
Fursch Madi, soprono; Nine. Trebelli,
contralto Max Heinrich, bass Rafael
Joseffy, pianist, and others. Other i'm
portant engagements are still pending.
The frat musical festival, last spring,
was a remarkable success but despite
all the publicity given to it, 1t was not
until it WAS half over that the fashion
able world discovered what it was losing
ana hurried to enjoy what remained of
the rich programme. This year, the
festival will not be- compelled to announce
itself by its frat concerts. The musical
world will understand what the great
treat ia that it has to expect and will not
lose any part of it. The splendid chorus
and orchestra of the festival association
have already established their reputation
and the bard work done during the past
and present season will raise il very
much higher.
