CHApPELL NOT THE MAN.
His Appointment Not Confirmed by the
Grounds and Buildings Committee.

A lively meeting of the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings was held in the
Office Of the City Engineer last night.
Those present were Colonel Cutshav,
Chairman Taylor. and Messrs. Brander.
Curtis, Ferguson. Houston, and 1urDIu.
After the disposition of routine business
the committee took up the matter of con-
frming or refusing TO confirm the nomi-
nation made by the City Engineer of Mr..
John r. Chappell as inspector Of the hard
wood filling and finishing at the new City
Hall. the question evoked much warm
and animated discussion.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1891-10-20
HE WOULD VOTE FOR cHAppELL.

Mr.. TAYLOR was the only meInDer or the
body who was willing. that this work
should be given to Mr.. Chappell. He sad
the City Engineer had appointed the ex-
Alderman because he was an honest man
that ne had come before that committee
and said that lie was Cleveland man,
and as the question on which the body
was acting was the mans politics. he con-
sidered HIM as good Democrat as others
who had held positions under Demo-
cratic administration. MIR. Taylor con-
tlnued:
a. believe if you were to put a true De-
mocrat TO work on that City Hall the
building would tumble down. You left
this matter with the City Engineer. and he
has appointed John Chappeli To supervise
this work, and ain going TO vote tor him.
| soy If you keep other Republicans on
your City Hall you ought to keep Chap
pell."
TO REscIND THE RESOLUTION.
Major Brander o.ed that tho commit
tee rescind the resolution offered by Mr..
Curtis on August 10th. authorizing the
Engineer to employ an inspector of the
hardwood filling and finishing IN the new
City Hall.
Colonel Cutshaw stated that he had the
power TO appoint a man for that Office and
that this committee only had the power to
confirm or re ect his nomination.
Mr.. Taylor asked the Engineer If it was
to the interest of the city that some one
be employed 10 inspect this work, TO
which the latter replied that 1t was.
Major Brander then withdrew his mo-
ton on the understanding that ii was con-
trary TO the city ordinances.
FAILED TO CONFIRM.
Mr.. Houston then moved that the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Chappell be not confirmed.
! he vote stood: Ayes-Messrs. Brander.
Curtis. Ferguson, Houston, and Turpln.
Noes-Mr Taylor.
Colonel Cutshaw was then asked if the
committee could appoint man. He re-
Piled that it could not; that he could
nominate another for the work and would
present a name at the next meeting of the
BODY.
Major Brapder stated that he did not
think man was needed to do this work.
Captain Curtis then brought up the
question of purchasing fountain to be
placed at the corner of Thirty second and
Broad streets. He moved that Colonel
Cutshaw be instructed to select the foun
tain, not to cost more than Sl5O. The
motion prevailed.

Little Gretohon's Wonderful Meeting Will

Little Grctohon's Wonderful Meeting with
tho Llttlo Man or tho Woods.
Little Gretchen was going homo from
school when Che wonderful thing hap
peued.
She was in the woods. She was alone.
If whistling Hans and laughing Bertha,
and the other noisy, romping ones had
been with her, the Little Man would
have hidden himself away.
As it was, he came out boldly in tho
path before her and said: Little girl,
come under the toadstool and tell me
your name"
Gretchen started to say she was too
large, for the toadstool was hardly three
inches high, while she was nearly three
feet. Before She could speak the words,
however, she felt herself growing
smaller smaller than little brother
Karl, smaller than baby Greta. The
next minute she was no taller than the
Little Man himself, as she followed him
under the toadstool and told him her
name was Gretchen.
The Little Man seated himself on n
small toadstool, beside a middle-sized
toadstool. The big toadstool spread
over them like an umbrella. Then he
whiskcd outa piece of birch-bar,5 paper,
and quill pen made of a hummng bird
feather He dipped the pen in tiny
acorn cup of ink and wrote down her
name. That done, he looked up and
smiled and spoke:
And you are the little girl who didn't
whisper in school?-the little girl who
learned her lcssons?-the little girl who
comforted poor lame Lena when she
fell and bumped her nose?-thc little
girl who wants to help the house
mother because the house father is ill
and can't?"
Little Gretchen was too tmid to re-
ply in words, but the bushes that made
her pink checks pinller after each ques-
ton said: Yes quite as plainly
The Little Man wrote once more with
the humning- bird quill Then he
smiled again to Gretchen and said:
81 was sure you were the same little
girl. Now you may go-but remember
this one thing: under the pine at the
edge of the woods, among the young
uncurling ferns, grows q pink lady's-
slipper. Pluck it, and take it to the
housc-mothcr. Within the flower She
will find the help your loving little heart
longs to take to her."
Before Gretchen could speak her
thanks, she found herself suddenly
shooting up to the height of the girl she
had been, and when she bent to look
under the toadstool, the Little Man
had vanished.
So Gretchen fastened home, plucking
the lady 's-slipper under the pine, as She
had been told.
When the housc-mother heard little
Grctchcn's story, she opened the flower,
