REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE.
IL VIII BE Held To-Day at the County
Court-House.

Aconference of Repu blicans of the Third
congressional district will be held at Hen
rico county courthouse to-day at noon.
sheriff Southwark will call the meeting TO
order. 9,
The call for this consultation was issued
by a Republican gathering held last Fri
dav. of which Mr.. Southwark was chair
man and G. w. Harris (colored), of Man
chester. the secretary. The conference. 1T
is claimed. is not for the purpose of noni-
mating or endorsing candidate. but slIn-
ply to ascertain what action should be taken
on the part of the Republicans. The Dis
trict Committee having failed to call a con-
vention il now lies with the voters them
selves TO say whether one shall be held or
that they will stay away from the polls IN
O body.
There will be third attempt of the
District Committee to meet October Itn.
but il is the very general opinion that
there will be no meeting, or that II there IS
a meeting there will be no call issued for
convention.
While the conference to-day is not q
mass-meeting, every representative ke-
publican is entitled to take part, and the
result will probably be big turning out.
Invitations to be present have been sent 70
leaders in both wings of the party-that Is,
Mahoneites and ants alike. -,
Judge Waddill is in the city, and Will
probably be in attendance.
Sheriff Southwark yesterday received
letter from ex-Delegate William II. Brisby.
of New Kent. in which it was stated that
the people Of that county favored con,
ventlon. and that if he (Southward) would
run he would get big majority there.

A GOOD OPERA WELL SUNG.
The Little Tycoon Draws Large Au'
dience on Rainy Night.

The Little Tycoon as given at the Acade-
my last night was a rare treat. The ram
did not appear to affect the large an an

greater compliment could be paid
TO Dir. Sponsors bright, tuneful operatha

The opera comes to US again with orlght,
new scenery that enhances Its attractive
ness very much. The costumes. especially
the Japanese scene, which is literally a
Kaleidoscope of bright colors and gold. are
very handsome.
OF the people some are new. but from
the reception awarded their efforts 1t -
safe to say the Tycoon is in stronger hands
than ever before Surely there could be
no funnier General Knickerbocker than
the one given by j. H. Ryley. His topical
song brought down the house, and some OF
his comedy scenes were truly enjoyable;
Miss Laura Millard sang and looked
Violet TO perfection. Her voice is very
pure and sympathetic. SIadaline Lucette
made dainty, coy dolly Dimple," that
vas breezy throughout. Miss Hurricane y
was well sung by Miss Alice Hosmer; and
she got great humor out of her lines,

CONGENlAL AND PLEASANT.
Friendly Relations Between Richmond
and Atlanta Springs Visitors.

The following is taken from the society
columns of the Atlanta Constitution:
1T seems that everybody who went to
the White from Atlanta this summer has
formed lasting friendship with one or
more of the Virginia people they met
there.
Next TO that of Richmond Atlanta's
colony at the White was the largest All
the people who went from here seem to be
in about the same set. and consequently
perfectly congenial and pleasant towards
each other. for after all the only ugly gos-
SID and spite comes from one lot OF people
toward another Of whom they are enylous.
From all the sweet things the Atlanta
women have TO say of their Virginia
cousins one is TO judge that there was
moro harmonious state of feeling than
sometimes exists between the bellies OF diff
ferent.States.
Everybody who went to the White
from here will entertain during the season
some of the people they met there.
Miss Grant and Miss Marsh will have
guests. and in November Mrs. Clarence
Knowles will entertain Miss Nirgie Brock
and Miss Martha Bagby, of Richmond"

HOME FOR BAPTIST ORPHANS.
The Claims of the Institution Have Met
With Cordial Endorsement

DR.. Hatcher, president of the Baptist
Orphanage of Virginia, was seen by DIS
paich reporter and asked what was the out
look for the success of that institution.
He replied that the prospect is full of en-
couragement.
The orphanage, he said, had its claims
presented at all the district associations
during the summer and received cordial
endorsement everywhere. New PROPOSE
tions are being made from places which
are desirous of securing the location of the
orphanage, but the site will not be select
ed until the annual meeting of the board
in November.
Reports are coming in of collections
which the churches have taken for this in
stitution, but 1t will take some time 10
gather in the S50,000 which has been asked
for.
The Doctor SAYS there is no wish on the
part of the trustees 70 create any sensa-
tional boom in favor of the orphanage; all
that is desired is to get theynatter en-
trenched in the hearts of the people and
there will be no difficulty in sustaining
this needed charity.
