penses are very moderate. The location Is
unsurpassed for healthfulness, and the
moral, social and religious influences are
exceptionally good. The prosperity of the
college will doubtless be increased by the
rapid growth of Salem.
The college has had a prosperous year.

requests, amounting TO $4,000, were left 10
Roanoke, and other gifts amounted TO some
$4,000. Professor w. \. Smith, now com

Divorce I'm France.

The French statistical bureau publishes
some returns showing the number OF divorces
which have been granted IN France since the
law Of which NJ. Naquet was the promoter
came intO force about five years ago. The
total-presumably up TO the end of last year
was l5,52l, Of which 1901 were pronounced
by the Pasis courts, and 7,0i7 in the proyin-
cial towns, while 1867 cases were those OF
residents in the rural districts. The per-
ceutage OF divorces for the whole Of France
was for every 435 married couples, but in
Paris it reached rs much as one in hun
dred. The other departments in which di-
yorces were most numerous Were the Seine
et-Oise, the Aubc. the Bouches du Rhone,
and the Eure, while in several other depart
ments, such rs the COtes du-Nord, the
Lozere, the sayoie, the Ayeyron, the Can
tai, the Correze, the Bases Pyrenees, there
was only about one divorce In every 5000
marriages.

A Warming to People Who borrow "A Dol

An employee Of the Casino, Henry Lor-
raine, was before the Police Court yester-
day, charged with petit larceny. From the
evidence il was learned that Lorraine play
ed the cornet, and was under contract TO
work until September list. Last Saturday
night he borrowed one dollar from Manager
Hudson to pay for his washing, after which
he left the city, going 10 Lynchburg. iud-
son, finding that Lorraine had left the city,
teiegraphed the Mayor of Lynchburg TO ar

Greatly on the Increase.

Postmaster Russell Ihinks busih'ns
Greatly on the Increase.
The fiscal year for the government Offices
ends July LIST. At that time reports are
made of the years business TO the auth0ri-
ties at Washington. In the reports this
wear, the postofiice will show an increase IN
every way. One cause Is that the larger
quarters used by the pOstOffice employees
permit them TO handle the mails more efii-
ciently. and 10 the establishment of stamp
agencies may be attributed great deal OF
the growth. Whatever may be the
cause, however, facts in the case
prove the truth Of the assertion, and the lat
Ter was borne out by Postmaster Russell In
talk with a reporter yesterday. lie stated
that the outlook as regards postoflice 6usl-
ness in Richmond was very good indeed.
There are great many more stamps used
here than formerly, and as stamps play no
unimportant part in business life, the In
creased sale is significant.
"You can readily understand" he said,
s'that an increase in business means even
better facilities-thOse cOnyeniences that
Northern cities enjoy. Inspector Darby, oil
the Free Delivery Division, is in the city to-
day, and after hearing my statements In re-
gard TO better facilities, he concluded that
was not unreasonable in my demands,
and will recommend them when he gets
back 10 Washington"
"What did you recommends queried the
reporter.
"The establishment of pOst-oilice stations
] want three of them-One on the busy part
of Broad street, one on Church Hill, and the
other situated near the Richmond College.
At these places all business now done by
the public at the p0st-0flice can be done
there, and ] think the stations will be OF
greatconvenience 10 the citizens"
'When will the package boxes be placed
around the city," "Just as soon as j can
get the locks for them. There is, Of course,
no use putting them out without any locks,
and up TO this time the authorities at w ash
ingtOn have not sent them 10 us. i am also
seeing II l cannot make some alterations in
the collections from the boxes. Some of
the boxes have three collections, others
four and others five, and am now looking
into the matter to see il l cannot give the
boxes most used six or seven collections
day"
= IL am doing" said Mr.. Russell in con-
clusion," sail that is possible for Richmond,
and il the Washington authorities Will only
give me all ask for, Richmond will have a
model office"
The total receipts OF the postoflice for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, were S2i6,-
1896, against $203, 7S4. 46 for the year ending
June, 1889. The increase this year is 3d.
1920. These figures do not include the
business done by the money order division,
which handled about $l,5OO,0OO.
