A letter from Clifton Forge says:
Decatur AXtell and c. L. Wexford, of
Richmond; Charles L. Adams, of Lynch
burg; c. w. Lewis, of Cincinnati, and
IL. +. Eaklc, Jr., were here Wednesday
attending a meeting Of the board of
directors Of the Chesapeake ard Ohio
Development Company. No special ac-
tion vas taken by the board. 1t is
understood, however, that all parties
were highly pleased with the company's
achievements and outlook.
1t is reported as coming from re-
Sponsible persons in position to know
the facts that the purpose of the Chesa-
pcakc and Ohio Railway Company is to
make Clifton Forge the terminus of the
branch road TO Hot Springs, all passen-
ger trains to the springs to be run direct
from this point. The reason seems
good. Passengers from any point on
the Richmond and Allegheny division
of the road bound for the springs or re-
turning would then have to change cars
but once. Besides the company has it's
shops and roundhouse here. which mako
this the proper place to end the di-
vision.
The wooden mills Of Clifton Forge are
expected to begin active opera lions
next week. This is one of the best
equipped mills in the South and will be
managed by competent people.

SPORTING NOTES.
Heat Races Becoming Very Unpopular
in the East.

John Mclean of Australia and Henry
Peterson of San Francisco have been
matched to row on the Frazier river near
New Westminster, B. c., August for
81 ,250 a side.
Since 1854 Yale and Harvard have
rowed twenty-five races, and up to the
recent victory of Harvard each had won
eleven; hence the great interest that
centered upon the late race.
Heat races are becoming very unpopu-
lar in the East for the reason that they
open the door to fraud and the best
horses are not entered for them. 1t is
likely that they will be entirely aban-
doned ere long.
In the East movement is on foot to
reduce the size of purses for pugilistic
exhibitions, and it is claimed that the
days of fortunes being offered for ring
contests have gone by. In the future
50, 600 or $4,000 is to be the limit.
By an arrangement just completed at
Beloit by T. ]. Cowles and Frank Shaw,
representing the new Minnesota Ath-
letic Club, the Fitzsimmons- Hall fight
of July % will take place under the aus
pices of that club in st. Paul. A pro-
viso was made that the club and not the
contestants shall select the referee.

THERE Is a DIFFERENCE
Between Memorial English Luth-
Grams and English Lutherans.

Between Memorial English Luth-
Grams and English Lutherans.
Rev. A. j. D. Haupt, pastor of the
Memorial English Lutheran church,
writes:
For the benefit of a large class of our
citizens, would like to explain that
there is difference between the Me-
mortal English Lutheran church and
the English Lutheran Church of the
Redeemer. have been at work in the
city in the English Lutheran mission
work since 'S3. and have established
three congregations, Trinity English, of
the West side, Of which w. L. Smith is
now the popular and efficient pastor;
under the charge of Rev. A. Steimle.
Also two Sunday schools, st. Stephens,
on Dayton's bluff, in charge of Rev.
Smith; and st. Luke's, of FairvieW dis
trict, in charge of Rev. Steimle.
81 have been asked by many of the
prominent citizens. therefore, whether
we had purchased the old home of the
First Presbyterian, and to satisfy the
curiosity OF all | would say that we have
not. That property has been purchased
by the English Lutheran Church of the
Redeemer, a congregation started in the
st. Johns German Lutheran church in
opposition to our work, so that they
could preserve their own young people
to their own synod. The two bodies are
entirely different, therefore, and doing
different work. We do not interfere
with each other, but each has his own
peculiar mission to fulfil, yet the two
are entirely separate and distinct.

1.-The Grab Bag" Greeted by q
Crowded House at the Grand.
A crowded house greeted "The Grab
Bag" at the Grand last evening. The
play is OF the farclcal order, entirely de-
void of plot. 1t is purely made up of
string of cOmical situations threaded
together with out the least semblance of
order. There is a refreshing disregard
of conyentiOnality, but from OPEN
ing to end the entertainment is
crowded with bright music, bright
songs and bright sayings. The
audience fairly reveled in laughter, and
it is only just to say that more enter
tanning evening could not be furnished
than that which is being provided at the
Grand this week. The play is clean
throughout, sparkles like new silver
dollar, and the cast includes some very
bright people. W. A. Mestayer and
Walter Jones provide an evenings en-
tertainment in themselves. They are
a most original cOmical couple. and
the whole time they are on the stage
the audience is in one continual state Of
laughter. Miss Theresa Vaughn gives
a most charming performance, and her
singing is decided feature. Miss Lille
Sinclair was greeted with enthusiastic
applause for her artistic dancing.
Alexis Markham, Miss Matte Redding,
Miss Lille Sinclair, the tourist trio, and
others make up most capable and EN-
tertaining company.

were overpowered by the officers, picked
up rock, weighing five pounds, and
hurled it at Kluzick, stricking his he'll

RIDDLES THE DOCTOR.
A Lady Takes Up CudgeIs in the
Gold Cure Controversy.

A Lady Takes Up CudgeIs in the
Gold Cure Controversy.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In Saturday mornings paper. under
the heading of THE Gold Cure" aud
above the signature of Oscar Alf. Flies
burg, NJ. D., l find most incongru0uS
mess, which self-evidentIy exhibits a
most direful ignorance by the gentle
man IN question of what he would Vainly
endeavor to tear down.
The gentleman states that he has
taken some interest in the articles pub
llshed by the Chicago Tribune. and then
goes on by saying: THE letters from
the Leslie Z. Kelley company, what
ever that means, except some concern
that makes it business to obtain
money under surreptible and suScep-
tible pretences."
Does the gentleman in question act
ually mean to say that he knows moth
ing of the Leslie E. Kelley institute,
of Dwight. ILL.,, an institution which at
no time has within its walls less than
from 200 to 400 inmates from all parts of
the United States, that has already dis
charged and cured more than $1,000
patients, and not by means of a ''cOm-
binatiOn of hypnotism and Strychnia,"
as the doctor has been pleased to
class it.
Mir. Fliesburg admits in the first place
that inebTiety is durable: second, that
gold is a most potent factor i'll the
treatment of the same. in connection
with a proper series of baths, etc. Now
this is Just what the Kelley remedy is.
| and what constitutes its course of treat
ment. Furthermore, person would be
foolish to imagine, as the doctor WOIld
have one to infer, that the gold cure
was merely some preparation of gold
alone, instead of what it really is. the
| result of scientific research and the life
study of a physician, whose ability is
recognized by the medical profession
everywhere. unless it may be in few
exaggerated cases like the worry doctor.
Our friend seems TO think that be-
cause Mr.. Kelley does not choose,
strange to say, to give the exact for
muIa OF his compound TO the profession
and public at large, that it is some
| thing MYSTERIOUS" hence ''quackery."
! However, the doctor does not in his Wis
dom explain why hundreds of people
testify to the curing qualities of the
remedy, and are constantly recommend
| Ing the same to hundreds of others in
all parts Of the world. Does the doctor
| recall the quotation. You cannot fool
| all the people ali of the time" and
| what goes with it? This cure is not
something that has not been tried. but
| its worth has been fully demonstrated
| time and again, and it is no new thing
to the public, although it may be to
people who have taken some interest
