Exercises.
The Virginia College for Young
Ladies was formally dedicated to the
cause of Christian education yesterday.
Less than year ago the principal, Rev.
DR.. William A. Harris, severed his con-
nection with his school at Staunton and
conceived the idea of founding this
seminary. Wonderful success attended
his efforts in erecting the splendid
buildings, in establishing the school
and with filing it with pupils on open
ing day, September IA, and the simple
services yesterday marked the Growing
point in the career Of this distinguished
educator.
Nature smiled on the occasion. The
day itself was perfect, and the pic
turesque view from the college sublime.
The hills and spurs of lofty Mill Noun
tain, so lately robed in their verdant
foliage, the Creator had touched with
the magic wand af autumn, and turned
into radiant vision of crimson and
gold.
The chapel OF the college was filed
at 1890 o'clock with patrons OF the
school and large number Of ladies and
gentlemen of the city, and, keeping step
with inspiring music, the pupils of the
college marched on the stage, and filed
into their places. The exercises were
opened with prayer by Rev. J. q.
Hutchinson, of Salem, which was fol-
loved by beautiful piece of music by
Professor R. e. Hennings, one of the
professors OF the college, to which was
added the doxology, praise God From
Whom all Blessings Flow" by the
whole school.
The principal, in brief address, ex-
planned some Of the aims and objects of
the school, and stated that Rev. DR.. p.
ID. Wisner would conduct the exercises.
Rev. Oliver G. Miller, pastor of st.
Marks Lutheran Church, and Rev. DR..
W. c. Campbell, pastor Of the First
Presbyterian Church, each made short
and appropriate addresses, congratu-
latlng the city on securing this school,
The hymn, HE Leadeth Me-" was
sung by the school. after which brief
speeches were made by Rev. W. Il.

Baptist Church. This was followed BY

Ball, of Norfolk.

ooAA ]tC OAuTCu, anu p6V. .. u.
Rice, pastor OF the United Brethren's
Church, next made short addresses,
which was followed by hymn by the
school. Jesus is Tenderly Calling"
Then came two more addresses by
Rev. R. G. Anderson, Of the Second
Presbyterian Church, and Rev. G. T. d.
Collins, of ST. James Methodist Church,
and another solo, 1.-THE Haven of Life"

propriate remarks, followed by Rev. G.

Church, who made the last, the shortest
and one of the best speeches. After

GOODNESS"

Were your eyes ever shocked
was your nose ever offended
by anything you ever saw or

We think not.
Our constant aim Is to give
to our establishment an ap.
pearance and atmosphere In
dicative of our goods-pure,
fresh and wholesome. Scrupu-
lous cleanliness Is, with us, a
necessity, and our clerks and
statesmen are so instructed.
We think that this care on
our part convinces customers
of our desire to please, but 1t
is not done for show-it Is a
veritable part of our business

Everything you may pur-
chase from Us can be relied on

BY the Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 15.--The capitol re-
moval case, the people ex rel Rideout,
appellant, against Secretary of State
Waite, respondent. was argued this
morning before the supreme court. j.
w. Armstrong and Gen. A. f. Hart ap-
peared for the appellant, and d. M.
Delmas end II. V. Morehouse for the
respondent.
Judge McMune, who began by making
brief statement OF the facts of the
passage OF the removal resolution. made
the point that the payment Of million
dollars and the donation of ten acres Of
land by San Jose was in the nature OF a
bribe to the voters of the etate, who will
decide the capital removal question, and
therefore immoral and contrary to pub
lie policy. Mr. Morehouse ably COM
batted Judge McKune's argument.
fMorehouse contended that the resolu-
tion had the requisite two-thirds major
ity, even after Senator Voorhies had
changed his vote to no.. Senator Hart
claimed he voted ave for the purpose of
reconsideration, but the record shows he
voted in the affirmative and all the court
could do wae to take cognizance Of the
matter without considering Hart's in
tentions.
a. l.. Hart followed on behalf OF
Plaintiff Rideout. He said the censtitu-
ton saya the seat of government shall
not be removed, except by certain
means, bat the Legislature, acting under
the excitement OF the moment, ignored
the language OF the constitution and at.
tempted to do that which it is expressly
prohibited from doing.
In the case of Ii. 0. Livermore against
Secretary Waite, l.. o. Hatfield and
Grove l.. Johnson appeared f)r the
plaintiff, and d. M. Delmas and Fl. V.
Morehouse for the defense. Delmas
argued that the case before the court was
not question OF the capitals removal,
but WAS merely an action to en-
join the secretary of state from per-
forming the eimple duty of forwarding
certain documents to the county clerks,
on the ground that there would be .ex-.
'pense not warranted by the laws. The
people had right to vote on u constitu-
proper vote in the legislature, and the
courts could not deprive them of it.
l.. I. Hatfield contended that the
amendment did not pass the Legislature
properly. and therefore was invalid.
Grove l.. johnson contended that the
constitution could not be amended by
such irregular methods 10 were prac-
ticed by the Legislature in adopting the
capital removal resolution.
The cases were then submitted.

SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.
CLEYELAND'S FLYING TRIP TO

The Faithful Dan Lamont Did Bear
Him Company Rumors That
Surgical Operation Was tho
OBJ ect of the Visis.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-President Cleve-
land, who left Washington very quietly
on last nights express for New York,
arrived here at z 80 this morning. He
was accompanied by Secretary of War
Lamont and drove Immediately to the
Victoria hotel, where suite OF apart
ments were made ready Tor him. Since
his arrival the movements OF the preai-
dent are shrouded in mystery. He had
breakfast in his apartments. Shortly
after he drove of in a carriage and was
abaent from the hotel for several hours.
1t is thought the president came here
for the purpose of comforting with q
prominent specialist in regard to the
ailment which be has been suffering
from. This, however, DIR. Joseph D.
Bryant, Cleyeland's physician, denies.
He said Cleveland is at present enjoy
ing good health and any statements to
the contrary are untrue. The president
made private call on some personal
friends and took strolliq Central park.
He had luncheon with Dir. and Mrs.
Brgant. President Cleveland and Sec-
retRry Lamont returned to the hotel
about O'Clock where they spent an
hour or two. The president, with Sec
retary and Mrs. Lamont, dined at DIR.
Bryant's, after which the whole party
repaired TO the Broadway theater, where
Francis Wilson was playing Erminie.
After the theater Cleveland and Lamont
drove to Jersey City, where they boarded
the 80 express for Washington.
Whatever has been the object OF the
president's visit 1t is certain by the de-
malls of his friends and by his appear
ance tonight that any operation what
ever has been performed. His flying
visit here can only be explained in the
words of Secretary Lamont: strictly
private business"
