CHARTER FEES COLLECTED.
Why Protests Against Payment Are
Made by Corporators.

The act TO require the payment of fees on
certain charters, as approved February 10th,
1890 reads:
abe it enacted by the General Assembly of
Virginia, THAT every chaIteI OF lncorPora1
section HIS Of the Code Of Vfginil, ana
eUeTU act Of incorporation hereafter passed by
the General Assembly. shallbe. and continue
to he wholly imperative and Intellectual for
any and ali purposes whatever, until the
payment of fee To be ascertained, DC"
A bill 10 amend and re-enact an act OF
the General Assembly, approved February
10, 1890 the same act as quoted above
reads lust the same as the above act, with
the exception that all the words In italics
are left out, making the act read: BE 1t
enacted by the General Assembly OF Viz
ginia, That section one of an act Of the
General Assembly, approved February 10,
1890, entitled an act to require the payment
of fees on certain charters, be amended and
re-enacted so as to read as follows: That
every charter of incorporation hereafter
passed by the General Assembly shall be,
&c. This was evidently the fault OF the
engrossing clerk, who had the Senate bill
TO engross, but the original bill has not
been found.
Uuder protests made by persons granted
charters by courts, this error in the engr0s-
ing of the act was discovered, but section
I'd of the act of February 10th, 1890, says,
Until the fact of payment is thus cerllhed
TO the Secretary of the Commonwealth, he
shall not record the articles of incorpora-
ton, and until the fact of payment is certi-
fed TO the Keeper OF Rolls, he shall not fur
nish copy of the act Of Incorporation
In all OF the cases of protest Attorney
General Scott has decided in favor of the
State, and applicants for charters are com
PEELED TO pay before they are recorded.
Up 10 date the State has realized over
S23, 900 revenue from charter fees, and the
law has only been operative four and half
months

THE ICE MISSION.
Now Is the Time for Contributions to be
Doubled.

Such days as Sunday and yesterday
should impress upon those who have the
means the necessity Of increasing the fund
for the ice mission. The money may be
left in the small collection boxes which
NAV be found OF various places in the city
already published.
In an envelope, pOstmarked Marion, Va.

nicatiOn yesterday:

ANYBODY who would steal the little sums
intended to be used for the benefit Of babes

mate of a Richmond clergyman, are annual

SUPPLEMENTAL CENSUS.
Notes from the Headquarters at the Gus
tom House.

A few census returns came in at Special
Enumeration Ragland's Office yesterday in
the Custom-house. The clerks were busy,
however, all day looking over the records,
answering questions and entering the
names and addresses of callers.
This supplemental business is very tedi-
Gus. When man calls Tor instance, ana
saws he or his family or somebody else nave
not been enumerated. the first step taken j.
TO ask his address. Then the clerk
has to find out in which enumerators
district the man lives. This done,
he looks over the enumerator's report TO see
whether the man has been listed. II he has
not. he sends the enumerat0r 10 his house 70
investigate the case. The census man may
have 10 20 TO Screamersyille or Rockets just
TO get this one family. and five minutes after
he leaves the office a complaint may come
i'm from the house next door TO the place he
has started for. There's nothing left 10 dc
but TO take the same jaunt over again.
Nlr. Ragland complains that so many peo-
pie come there with complaints that they
have not been enumerated, and upon IN
yestigatiOn it is found that some member ol
the family gave the returns, but forgot u
mention ii to father or brother, perhaps.
A man called at the Office Saturday and
said neither he nor his family had been
taken. and upon investigation it was found
that his daughter had given all the neces'
sary information about everybody on the
premises.
Other instances show that where the emu
merat0r was sufficiently alert to ask The
question: sis there anybody else here be-
sides the names you have given meF, the
landady answered no, when in truth there
were several more on the premises whom
she forgot. In one case lady SAID no, ana
completely ignored family Of five negroes
in the back kitchen, and an old bachelor
who occupied the basement.
One of the callers during the day was a
woman in search Of her daughter. The
enumeratOrs were unable to enlighten her

THE WEATHER..
Sunday Claims the Palm for warmth
The Storm.

Everybody admits that Sunday was the
warmest day the summer has yet given. In
the morning the suns rays were oppres-
size, and in walking the streets the heat
seemed to rise from the pavement,
and a Whit Of cool air was I'M
possible in the city limits. In the
afternoon and evening, when dinner
was over the people flocked to the parks
and green spots around town; and those
who did not 90 sat in their front porches
and gardens. using their best endeayors to
keep cool. This was impossible, even at
night. until the wind began to
blow about 10 O'Clock, and the
lightning began TO flash brilliantly. Then

hundreds of people when the thunder was
heard so soon after the lightning, and the
rain began 10 fall in torrents. IL did not
last long, but it was very refreshing, and
many a pillow was cooled for the would-be

Yesterday the weather initiated the day
before, and PLAYED innings in the nineties
with great luck. Toward night the
clouds came around and the wind blew
and few drops Of rain fell, but there was
