Small Means to an End.

One of the largest owners of west-side
real estate in this city. says the New York
Sun, fills the humble position Of pink
lemonade seller in a noted circus. His
traffic is the airy jest of many comedian,
and in the big cities he is scoffed at and does
not always thrive. But the ruralist loves
him, supports him, and does not disdain his
vocation. Taere must be abundant profit in
his seductive connection. for he has been
peddling from the pail only six years and
can point TO eight or ten brownstOne fronts
as the result of his labOrs. He makes double
money sometimes, for when 1t rains during
performance he peddles cheap umbrellas
ut fancy prices, So that all sorts of weather
bring him no disappoiniments. He is not
the only circus "fakir" who has grown rich.
Half dozen men who are semi millionaires
have followed the white tents in more or
less shady occupations, ranging from ''short-

Richards Himself Again.

Before the performance of Don Juan
began at the Garden Theater, New Y rk
June 18th, the stage manager came before
the curtain and said:
Ladies and genllemen: Mr.. Mansfield desires
me 10 say In case anybody present should have
read this evenings Telegram that the imaginary
interview with himself repubsbed in that jour
nal is a pure invention and mass of deliberate
and mOnstrOus falsehoods.
1t appears that the paper mentioned re-
produced from an obscure theatrical weekly
portions of an alleged interview with Mr.
Mansfield and made bitter editorial COM
ment upon it, Mr.. Mansfield was repre-
scented as speaking egotlstically of himself
and his play, Don juan" and indulging in
sDeering remarks concerning dramatic
critics. The following communication has
been received from Mr.. Mansiield
The interview purporting to have been given
by me aud referred To in this evenings Telegram,
aud speaking Of tie critics. Is absolutely au in

and disgusting statements. 1 have carefully re-

West Hanovss to the Roanoke Presby-
terry. REV. JAMES p. SMITH,

Chm'n.
The transfer of Lee county from the
Synod of Nashville to the Synod Of Vir-
ginia met with general approval. Rev.
Dr. Anderson addressed the Synod on
tho subject and stated the matter had
been put to vote in his Presbytery,
which had been unanimously approved.
Kew. y. L. Vance presented recom-
mendation that this Synod overture tho
General Assembly to make the transfer.
The recommendation was adopted.
AS to the second part of the report
Or. Lacy moved that portion relating to
the county of Pocahontas be stricken
out The recommendation was carried
AS to the third clause Mr.. Wallace
moved to strike out that portion relat-
ing to the counties of Rappahannock
and Culpepper.
DR.. Pitzer said the request of the
Presbytery of Chesapeake petitioned
the synod to transfer the Waddill
Church to them from the West Hanover
Presbytery, and that the counties OF
Rappahannock and the city of Freder.
lcksburg be also given them. He did
not believe in large presbyteries. He
seriously objected to the changes re-
commended in the third and fourth
clauses. He moved to strike out the
third clause and substitute the over
ture from the Chesapeake Presbytery.
There was prolonged discussion
over the matter, which grew out of the
dislike of making change on the part
OF some me bers who had met together
in these Presbyteries for years. They
Gid not like the idea of breaking filial
ties which were very sacred.
An overture from the Maryland Pres
bytery was read, asking that certain
of the churches in the Chesapeake Pres
bytery be allowed to unto with them.
The matter was deferred for the time
being and the order of the day was
taken up, which was the report of the
committee on Home M: ssions. Rev. Il.
w. Hooper, chairman.
The report covering tho statistics is
as follows, comparing the years of 1890
