THEY WANT TO TEACH.
A Large Number OF Girls Were Examined
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
The presence Of bevy OF pretty. intelligent
and summer clad young ladies in the Henrico
County Courthouse yesterday was a refresh
ing sight Usually the crowds there have a
sombre aspect. and masculinlty prevailed, for
the old courtroom in its time has sheltered
many a notable gathering.
Often has its roof kept sunshine and rain
from conventions Of Democracy, and oft have
the followers of Malone gathered under its
ceiling Frequently has its space boon
crowded with the darkies Of Henrico, and
often has the trial Of some unfortunate
brought a representative crowd from the
country.
Seldom however. docs its walls resound
with the sunshny laughter Of young ladies,
and seldom can the hum of their voices be
heard within its portals. Yesterday. how
ever. the young ladies were present and lent
a bright glow 10 the hall Of Justice. They
were seated about the room. busily employed
in writing and Superintendent Russell was
debating them spelling lesson. The young
ladies were applicants Tor positions as teach
ers IN the schools of Ienrico county. and Mr.
Russell IS the superintendent.
The Young ladies worked herOlcally
through their tasks. and went right into
the deep recesses Of algebra. grammar. geog-
raphy and history. What force mOulds
and controls public opinion;" was one OF tho
questions asked but the reporter unfortunate
ly was not asked for an answer. In an ap-
pealing way. however, he began reading
q copy of The TnnEs until the next question
had been propounded, and felt sure as be de-
parted that nlne-tenths of the young ladies
present had answsrod-"The Press"
The examination will be continued to-day
and by tho latter part Of next week the
School Board can decide who will teach the
young countrymen next autumn and winter.

BOOKSELLERS OF THE STATE.
Work Recently Accomplished by The EIecu-
tive Committee.
THE ASSOCIATION is NO TRUST.
The Combined Efforts of tho Dealers
Throughout Virginia IL Having the
Desired Enect-Their Organ.

Since tho complete organization of the
Virginia Booksellers Association in Norfolk
q few weeks ago the executive committee. of
which Mr.. II. Melville Starke, Of this city, Is
chairman, has been steadily st work. They
are adjusting numerous irregularities and dis
ordinations existing between the publishers
and the trade Of this State, which will con-
duce to the interest of the buyer of school
books as well as the bookseller.
There seems 10 be an impression abroad
that the Association is in effect trust on a
small scale but this il not thief The pub
LEGATION of school text books in the United
States Is mostly in the hands OF lew large
publishes against whom the bookseller az An
individual had but little influence, but now as
an Association representing the trade OF a
great State their complaints are respected and
suggestions considered.
DIFFERENCE N PRICE.
The American Book Company publishes
eight school text books exactly alike in bind
ing and cost OF printing and yet three OF
these books adopted by the State School
Board have been selling for one dollar each,
while the other five books in general use.
though without State authority. have been
selling for one dollar and quarter apiece.
The Association demanded Of the publishers
that these books be all put on the same foot
ing and the concession was promptly granted.
This move affects every person III the State
who buys school books
The Association is also in perfect accord
with the State Superintendent A late circu-
lar issued by Superintendent Massey
dropped from the list OF school books author
lied for the public schools, a series Of copy
books of which the booksellers still had
large number on hand.
TOOK THEM BACK.
Tho Association requested the publishers to
take back the copy-books and replace them
with the new series now in uso. Mr.. Massey
Endorsed the movement aud the concession
was granted. Thus, i'll these two trans
actions money has been saved 10 the seller
and consumer without injury TO either. Tie
publishers in other Southern States are
awakening to the advantages gained by or
gsnization and Mr. Starke has received
number Of inquiries for information and offers
of cooperation.
Among the suggestions received is one for
the organization of a National association
and another for an association comprising
the Southern States Mr.. Starke thinks the
Association a good thing for State control
where the selection OF school books IS made
by State authority. but believes it would be
unwieldy. If not impracticable, IN a larger
field.
The Publishers Weekly an organ alike
friendly 10 the publisher and bookseller. com
mends the Association as a move III the right
direction.

At the Academy last evening the AMMAN
dale A Hamilton Opera company continued
its engagement by singing Martha" ] his
company has been labOrng under difficulties
all the week, and last evening it did not ap-
pear TO be much eItrcated. One Of the
chief drawback has been in securing an
orchestra. and had it not been for the able eff
forts of Director Saro as conductor and pianist
the three musicians with him would certainly
have foundered. Another trouble has been
that the singers are new 10 each other; the
troupe has only been recently organized. per
hapsrehearssls have been too few. and, besides.
a new singer to the troupe, as Eva Cummings
was last evening, could scarcely be:expected

Well, in such converse as this we
reached Liverpool in due time, and went
next morning on board our steamer
We had a lovely passage out, and all the
way, the more we saw of Melissa the
more we liked her To be sure, Lucy re-
ceived terrible shock the third day out,
when she asked Melissa what she meant
to do when she returned to Kansas City.
''You won't go into the postoffice again,
suppose, dear?' she said kindly, for we
had got by that time on most friendly
terms with our little Melissa.
81 guess not, Melissa answered. mo
such luck any more. I'll have to go
back again to the store, as usual"
"The storer' Lucy repeated, bewii-
dered- IL don't quite understand
you"

it," Melissa answered, smiling. "My
fathers gotten a bookstore in Kansas

fact, | was his saleswoman."
II assure You, Vernon" Lucy re-
marked in our berth that night, 'sif an
Enghshwoman had said it to me I'd
have been obliged to apologize to her for
having forced her to confess it, and /
don't know what way should ever have
looked to hide my face while she was
talking about it. But with Melissa it's
all so different somehow. She spoke as
if twas the most natural thing on earth
for her father to keep shop, and she
didn't seem the least little bit in the
world ashamed Of it either.
why should shes' / answered, with
my masculine blnntness. But that was
perhaps trife too advanced for Lucy.
Melissa was exercising widening intiri-
ence on my wife's point OF view with as
tonishing rapidity, but still perfect
lady must always draw line some
where.
All the way across, indeed, Melissa's
lively talk was a constant delight and
pleasure to every one of us. She was SC
