TO the Editor ofthe Dispatch:
| am surprised at the magnitude TO
which the small matter Of appointing
some one to bury the poor OF the city has
grown. 1t has long been a necessity. l
know it personally, and it has become
far more necessity since the late exo-
dus of nearly if not quite half of the
ministers during the simmer months
Let any one try to get minister on
short notice on n hot August day. He
may spend five or six hours aud then
fail. Let the Council pass law allow
ing the superintendent to select some
one in the city, who. when other ministers
cannot be had. shall do this work, and pay
him. say 81 or 30 cents each, as is done,
I think. in some counties ii not in some
OF the cities Of this country. Another
great want in this city is a physician TO
attend the poor. Hundreds die yearly
without any medical attention whatever.
A decent dog would not be allowed thus

10 the Edit0r Of the Dispafch:'
No enterprising or aspiring member
Of the repottorial news staff would feel
that his daily duty had been done with
ont a grievance or complaint from one
or more quarters not reported as they
wanted t. be. This time | thank you
for the very neat account Of the feline
felony regarding the post-otlice vault,
for it was really remarkable how that cat
could have slipped in the door unseen and
remained there from $3.50 Z. NJ till $50
a. NJ, and then jump out as lively as q
flea and proudly point to her kittens so
safely arrived. But what | am com
planning about is the name You give this
Government matron, for Maud Is Just
awful, especially when pronounced as
nearly always, M-a-w-h-a-d. Her name
is Glrohc. and the other office cat is
named Giroha, and they are lineal de-
scendants of high pedigree from the cat
that got out from the Chicago post-oliice
fire some years ago.
Crime has its stain, they say, and
these three ofsprings Of n mother who
deliberately entered fire and burglar
proof vault for nights work are already
marked precisely like the penitentiary
conycts black and gray stripes at regu-
lar lengths all over them.
Yours truly, PosT-OFFICE.

men at Stems Pass station about $50
o'clock last evening. After the train had

him TO stop, and then forced the
Wells. Fargo a Co. express H.. g.
sengcrs to open the car, which they
riticd of the valuables, but without dis
Wrbiug the mails. The engineer was

LEBEY pEGsON SALE.
Mr.. W. II. Gray Here TO Make Pay.
mcnf.

Mr.. W. II. Gray, Of Chicago, arrived
here last night, and at once went to The
Exchange Hotel, where he was met 10y
Mr.. Louis Rawlings, of the real estate
firm Of Rawlings a Rose, who effected
the negotiations which resulted in the
sale OF the Libby Prison.
Mr. Gray said lastnight that he is here
with n New York draft in his pocket
ready TO make the first payment for the
property that he brought with him
from Washington Mr. Hallowell, an ar
chitect that as soon as lie can get pos
session OF the buildiug he will arrange
for ITS removal, but is not entitled to have
possession Of the corner building until
June the lst and the remainder until
July the lst that the whole of the vast
structure will be taken down, packed on
cars. and transported to Chicago by
rail that where it will be located
in Chicago he does not know,
for it is not decided upon !;
that so far the enterprise is his own, Tor
though charter for a company has been
obtained not u dollar of the stock has
been sold that be has been offered cash
down bonus of Sll, 200 on his option,
and that the building when re-erected in
Chicago will be used for money making
and not for political purposes-that is,
will be turned into a museum for TIE eX
hibition of relies of the late war. Mr.
GRAY added that he had received more
than fifty letters from Richmond people
Offering to sell him relics TO go into the
museum, and Captain Frank Cunning
ham who, with Mr. Kirk Mathews, WAS
present at the cOnvcrsation) added that
he had been invited to sing 1.-The Blue
and the Gray" at the opening OF the
building.
Mr.. Gray said that he knew nothing
of public sentiment here except what
had been represented to him that he
had written to the Mayor, but had re-
ceived no answer but MIR. Gray was IN
formed that the Mayor had been sick.
In this connection Mr.. Gray disclaimed
saving. as reported in a Chicago paper,
that the Richmond people might kick
but it would do no good. What he said
was that it would do them good, as the
Libby re-erected in Chicago would show
the people that it was much better
building than is generally supposed.
Mr.. Gray says that he came here to
close the sale 70 put down his money
for the property, and with tue assist
ance of Mr.. Hallowell TO make the pre-
hminary arrangements to remove it to
Chicago. As to how long he will be
here he could not say. He is promi-
nent Knight Templar, and is personally
known to some of the fraters here.

regulate the commerce in the State was
next taken up. Mr.. Pitcher. of Cul-
peper, brother of the member of the
House, was present and addressed TO the
committee his views on the subject. he
farms on an extensive scale and is a
large shipper and dealer in cattle.
He thonght the Legislature should
proceed very carefully and cautiously in
this matter. The shippers, he said, have
no difficulty in making satisfactory ar
rangements with the railroads. and any
effort to strike at the long and short
haul discrimination may do them dam
age. He expressed entire satisfaction
with the laws as they now exist.

A DOUBLE MARRIAGE.


Yesterday evening at 6:45 o'clock Mr.
Thomas j. Starke, venerable and be-
loved citizen, who has been lying seri
ously ill for several days at his resi-
dence. passed away, in the seventy
second year of his age. His funeral
will take place tomorrow morning at
II o'clock from the Second Baptist

been prominent member.
Mr.. Starke was the last of nine sons Of

the Legislature about 1920. Deceased
leaves a wife and five children-Messrs.
Edward d., Thomas H., Ii. Melville,
Miss Sue Starke, and Mrs. Il. j. Bosher.
Mr.. Starke for many years has been
closely identified with the book business
in this city, and at the time of his death
was the senior member of the firm of
Thomas J. Starke X Sons, booksellers
and stationers.
While deceased has never been in
public life, he has always been looked

the community, and his demise causes a
vacuum not only in the home circle, but
in the business world, in the church
gathering, and in the hearts of hun
dreds of people who loved him.
