They Cheered Cleveland, But at Governor
HIPS Name Were Silent.


The regular monthly meeting Of the Pow
hatan Club was held last evening at the club
rooms on north Eighth street
An hour was consumed III the transaction
of routine business. and 1t was long after .
O'Clock when Mr. John y. Harwood chair
man Of the picnic committee. reported tho
financial result Of the picnic which the
club held July 4th at Acca farm. IL
then appeared that there was a considerable
defict-thst the receipts on account OF the
picnic had fallen far short of the expendi-
lures and. upon motion. the president APP
pointed committee 10 raise the amount
needed TO settle all unpaid bills The com
mittee went promptly to work. and in a few
minutes had raised an amount almost equal
to the sum necessary.
IL had been confidently expected that the
question of increasing the membership fees
and dues would come up at this meeting, and
so IL debut only TO be laid away again IN
the secretary's pieeon-hole When the Ques-
ton arose Mr.. Thomas b. Hicks moved to
pass it by until the next regular meeting, Civ
ing as a reason for this course the sdvisability
of bringing this subject for final disposition be
fore larger meeting. The motion was dis
cussed at length by Colonel Bigger. Captain
Coke and other gentlemen, and finally was
carried by unanimous vote.
CLEVELAND AND HILL.
II was near the close Of the meeting that a
little breeze blew through the cub-rOOm that
interested everybody present particularly
those who believe in the saying that ''straws
show which way the wind blows
President Belyin announced that he had
been assured that Governor David Is. Hill
would certainly visit Richmond on his way 10
Atlanta. during the autumn, and would be
the guest of the Powhatan Club on that occa-
sion. OF course the clubmen must have
felt pleased and honored when they
heard this. but they were silent-per-
haps thoughtIessly. minute or two later
Mr.. Belyln announced that he had
received Nh intimaton that Mr. Cleveland
would also probably accept an invitation from
the club to be their guest some time during
the coming fall. and hardly had the name Of
the eX-presdent passed his lips when the
Powhstanites cheered loudly and enthusiast
cally.
The club then passed resolution directing
the president 10 write 10 Mr.. Cleveland and
tender him an invitation TO become the clubs
guest some time this year.
Just before the close OF the meeting Mr.. s.
b. CHM. the well-known Henrico politician.

this preparation. Pine boards treated to ono
coating Of the kalsomine were subjected for
twenty and thirty minutes respectively TO in
tensely hot fires without further result than
the charring of some at point of contact with
the bed of glowing Goals. There was uni
verssl expression OF opinion by those witness

an efectual prevention OF the spread OF

THE .Judor Tells Il Story.

satioualist, one of those kind OF men who
appreciate Il good story and can repeat it
with most minute Details" says the COS.
siper in last Sundays Sedalia Bazoo.
"Whilc he was here last week his leisure
time was much taken up by his admirers
who recognize his ability in this direction.
There was one descriptive of the sense of
Justice with which the late Governor
Steward WAS endowed When the COVER
nor first took possession of the Office he
made Il call on the different state officials
to familiariZc himself with the workings
OF the different departments. One of these
visits was made to the penitentiary. The
governor took great interest in the Grim
inals there and the charges for which they
were incnrceratcd The answers seemed
To surprise the governors; each man he
talked To told what he was sent up for but
declared with all apparent sincerity that
he was not guilty. All around he went
until he came to the last nan We'll, said
he, what are you in ior?' q stole n horse
governor said he; Il was guilty and de-
serve my punishment The governor at
once hurried to the mansion and issued q
pardon forthe horse thief and when asked
why he did it remarked, We'll, | thought
il n shame that one poor man who ac-
knowledges his guilt should be kept ia
the penitentiary where there are SO many
innocent men; he might corrupt their
morals.'"

For the Benefit OF Business Men,


EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: A representa-
paper was here n lew days ago and showed
the bankers a two dollar silver certificate
that he said was one of the new counter
feits whose appearance decided the gov
eminent to call in the whole issue of two
dollar silver certificates amounting to for
ty millions.
The only difference that l could see be-
tween the work on the counterfeit-that
is the engraying-and on a genuine, is
that the portrait of General Hancock on
the left end of the bill differs from the
portrait OF him on the genuine about as
one artists portrait OF n person will
always differ from another's. In the genu-
inc, Hancock's face is that OF a firm,
noble, splendid looking man and soldier.
Having had a personal interview with him
just before election his face is well fixed
in my mind. His picture in the counter
felt is merely that of a milder, less dis
tinguished- looking man. Ii l had not
had experience in drawing and a little in
engraving / would not know the counter
lett and genuine apart. / do not see how
the average business man, not an expert
in various kinds of steel, stone, wood and
copper engraving, can tell when he has a
counterfeit and when a genuine. The
plate was probably made by a first class
engraver in Europe.
see no way to protect the public ex-
cept for the banks to second the effort OF
the government and not pay any S2 certifi-
Gates out but send them in to w Washington
at their W expense, as the bank with
which lam connected is doing.
These N and two dollar certificates
were made to put the silver dollar out OF
circulation. They have failed and it
would be better If none were printed.
