BOOMING THE EXPOSITION.

The first grand step for the Roanoke
Exposition has been taken. The citi-
zens' meeting at the courthouse last
night rose splendidly to the occasion.
The permanent committee on the ami
versary was builtas broadly as the town
itself. Ninetytwo names are on that
committee. 1t contains the representa-
tive men of every progressive and
developing factor in Roanoke. Not a
line has been overlooked.
Information is available on every
possible source of needed information
in the committee itself. There are
bankers, merchants and general bust
ness men. There are manufacture rs,
furnace, ore, coal and lumber mon.
There are mining, mechanical and cleo
trical engineers. There arc mon who
are thoroughly converssnt with agricul-
tural, stock and track matters. There
are lawyers, builders, architects and
general contractors. 1t is equipped
Now, let it get to work.
The first meeting of the committee
will be held at the courthouse Friday
night at 8 o'clock, whom steps will be
taken toward developing permanen t
organization. On this point there is need
for the most exacting care Each place,
each committee, each Office must be
filled by that man best fitted to fill it,
Everything must be done broadly. No
contracting, no narrow views. This
committee is the most important body
yet selected from the citizens of Roa-
nolle. In its hands has boon placed a
power which may become either q null
lily or the most tremendous lever over
used to make the city forgo ahead to-
ward that triumphant maturity which
is its certain destiny.
If the Decennial Exposition is built
broadly and its details wrought out to
successful conclusions, Roanoke will be
filled with twenty thousand visitors
whose expenditures will aggregate not
less than half million dollars during
the Exposition.
The members of the committee at it's
first meeting will need exact informa-
tion as to the plan of organization most
effective to bring about the desired re-
suits. For this purpose mass of ma
terial is available, and will be brought
into use. The scope OF the exposition
will be largely governed by financial
considerations. On this point The
TIMES has but one main suggestion
make it big. The bigger the plan the
bigger the result. We may not rival
the Chicago Exposition but we can set
the pace for moro States than Virginia.
The basis of the exposition should be
strongly commercial. 1t can and ought
to be paying institution on it's own
merits. The bazar clement should be a
predominant feature. The opportunity
to buy cheaply, to trad effectively. to
get bargains, to make money is as
strong magnet in drawing crowds as
sightseeing. When the two are eirec.
lively ombined the result will be still
greater.
The arguments in favor OF huge
affair are overwhel ming. If it is made
big enough, exhibitors will be attracted
from all over the country, and, coming
to conquer, will be conquered. Tho

THE THE REGIMENTAL TROPHY.
1t Was Won Yesterday by a Team Of
Company E.
A Close Race Between Three Of the
Company Teams-Other Scores
Trap Shooting.

Therewas a large attendance of military
marksmen at the ranges yesterday, the
occasion being the second contest for the
regimental trophy. 1t was won the first
time by Company G. Yesterday it fell
to team of Company E of this city. The
trophy must be won three times by one
company in order for such company to
acquire permanent ownership of it. The
shooting is done at the 200-yard range.
The aggregates of the team scores show
number of ties, but riiemen understand
that the values of the scores are deter
mined by the Creedmoor rule. Thus,
while Companies E, F and G each had
teams which scored l03, that of Company
L is the better one, under the rule. Fol-
lowing are the scores.

still more remarkable evenness of power
her voice is dramatic in quality of

charm, but she should rarely attempt

There are and have been singers, like

East-bound trains will leave at the same

The couple have gained considerable
notoriety through their troubles. Mrs.
Coffman sued her husband for divorce
some time ago but he opposed the suit

But the court ordered that Coffman should
pay S25 per month for the support of the
three children, who were given into the
custody of the wife. Coffman claimed he
could not pay this amount, and was Or
dered to Jail. But before the Sheriff could
lay hands upon him he disappeared, and
was not seen for several months. Re-
turning finally, Coffman agreed to pay
Sl5 per month, aud the offer was accepted.
1t is understood, also, that Mrs. Coffman
