The Venable-Street Baptist church is
nearly ready to be dedicated. and the
exercises will probably occur during the
session Of the General Association which

extinguished.
The work of completing the upper
room was commenced last summer and
is now nearly ended. This room, which
is cruciform in shape, will seat about 900
people. The walls of the edifice are
very very prettily frescoed, and the windows
in the upper story are to be Of genuine
imported cathedral glass.
The floor Of the entire auditorium will
be covered with a handsome Roxbury
tapestry carpet The pews. which are
TO be of oak, with California redwood

THE PLAY OF PAUL KAUVAR.
A Realistic Story of the French Hevolu'
fion Nicely Presented.

A Realistic Story of the French Hovoiu-
fion Nicely Presented.
A large and intellectual audience at
tended the Academy of Music last night
TO witness the first performance IN Rich
mond of Steele Mackaye's S dramatic mas
terpiece Paul Kauvar." Mr.. Mackaye's
play merits hearty praise in nearl y all
respects. The leading purpose OF the
play is to display manly nnd heroic
character and incidentally to illustrate
the distinction between the anarchist
and the patriot From beginning to
end il has nothing feeble about 1t. There
were recalls after nearly every act.
In every respect the piece was ef-
fectively mounted, much of the scenery
and property effects being brought
here by the company. The story
is told i'll a realistic manner and gives one
a vivid idea of the reign of terror IN
France. The tsbleau Of the guillotine
and its victims in the first act and the
anarchist scene of the last act are
strikingly original and thrilling. Mr.. +.
j. Buckley as Paul Kauvar was admi-
rable. He has the enthusiasm, the fire,
fervor, and dash requisite for the define
alton Of romantic heroisn. Mr.. Henry
Aveling as Marquis DeVaux, Miss Lizzie
Rochelle as Diana de Beaumont, and the
remainder of the cast are deserving of
praise. The engagement will continue
for the remainder of the week, including
"a Saturday matinee.

The President OF the Board of Health

about a week ago. and that he had sus-
pended the latter until the committee
could take action.

and stated that he had told the men OF

James. One OF them, Mr.. Greenstreet,
replied that he would not obey the or
der and cursed him the foreman) shame
fully and ended by striking him. He
informed DR.. Oppenhimer, the

the employee.
Greenstreet virtually admitted the
truth OF this statement He said, though,
that Adkins had kind of slurred at him
when he gave the order and "made a
shape with his mouth " that he did not

Mr.. Grimes then said that he was sure
there was a great deal of opposition to
Mr.. Adkins among the men under him,
but that they were cowed down. There
was no evidence before the committee to
show this, but Mr.. Grimes moved that
Mr.. Adkins be taken from his position
OF foreman and made one OF the gang,
and that Greenstreet be reinstated.
Mr.. Davis stated that he would not
only vote against but would protest
against any such action. Mr. Grimes
withdrew his motion and offered reso-
luton that a committee OF two DO ap-
pointed TO investigate the working OF
the Second district gang for the past
year. This was adopted, the Char ap-
pointing Messrs. Grimes and Davis on

An argument

ground. An argument that |
proves too much. proves nothing.
When man urges as his only
objection to Prohibition the fact
that. in his opinion. it will never
carry, it is an admission that it
ought to carry, and any man
who is broad-guage thinker
ought to try to make it 60.
No man who thoroughly un-
dcrstauds the genius of the
American government, and the
design of the elective franchise,
can decline to vote for anything
because he does not think that
thing will win.
The right to vote is not gwen
to Il man as a means of express
ing his opinion us to which side
of an issue will win, but to cX-
press his opinion as to which side
should win. Any man who votes
simply for the purpose OF being
on the popular side, when hi: con
victions are for the other side. Is
not whit better than the man
who sells his vote. The two men
are equally influenced 10y mcrce-
nary considerations to 60 against
their convictions. The purpose
of civil government, in giving
the right of suffrage to its clti-
zens, is to have these citizens say
to the general government What
they, individually, want, in order
that the government, having
counted the preferences OF Its
citizens, may proceed to make
laws which will do the greatest
good to the greatest number, one
of the fundamental principles OF
good law.
When, therefore, a man votes
to be on the popular side, and ac'
!. tually prefers something different
that he could support by his vote
he mlsleads the governmental
authority, that it is his duty tc
assist.
To put the logical deduction o
! the thing in the plalnest, unvar
, nished English, the man wh'
1 votes to sustain the Democratic
=, party, when he really wishes tn
! Prohibition party to succeed, viii
> fully deceives his tellow-citlzens
1t is fact that you can hardl
find respectable farmer in DO!
