BE Business Like.

The man who fools with a dirty,
dauby, rubber stamp instead of letting a
printer do good job for him is wasting
his time and losing money in the
outcome. Be business like, if you are a
business man. He who attempts to do
business without a firm name business
and address neatly printed on letter or
envelope is considered extremely rustic

sion that if they We're not personally en-
gagged in the crime they kept the real de-

company in paying off its employees. A
United Press representative went to the
scene of the robbery and interviewed the
people living in the neighborhood. but
none of tAem had seen the men in custody

The passengers were not aware of the
robbery until the conductor rushed
through the train shouting: There are
highwaymen on board" Much excite

The robbers gained an entrance to the ex-
press car by smashing it in with a sledpe-

them until they disappeared from view.

DECORATIONS SIMPLE AND soMBRB

Black and White Prevail. and Here and

the Confederate Shield and Miniature
Battle Flags.
RICHMOND, Va, May 3l.-The funeral
train was scheduled to arrive between /
and a. m, but it was not until 3 90 this
morning that it rolled into the depot.
An hour before the artillery began to
fire their guns and the salute continued
until the remains rested in the capitol.
From the depot they were escorted by
the Robert E. Lee camp and the first
Virginia regiment The march up the
hill and through the capitol grounds in
the early morning hour being most i'm.
pressive. Miss Winnie Davis and the
rest Of the family on the train joined
Mrs. Davis at the hotel.
Mrs. Davis reached here last night
from New York With her were Miss
Davis, of Washington; Colonel J. Taylor
Wood, OF Halifax, ~ s., and Colonel
Robert G. Wood, of Louisiana, both
grandsons of Zachary Taylor, and
nephews of the first wife Of jefferson
Davis; Clarence Cary and Mrs. Dayis's
maid.
Quite a crowd had collected at the
Union depot, and Mrs Davis was met by
a committee and the grand camp of Con
federate Veterans Of Virginia Through
the crowd, who stood with bare heads
the little party passed to carriages. Mrs
Davis wore mourning and appeared quite
feeble, and on reaching the Exchange
Hotel she retired Immediately to the
apartments prepared for her.
Richmond's Largest Gathering.
Though the demonstration at the re-
interment of the remains of Jefferson
Davis to day is not expected to equal, as
far as numbers in attendance is con.
cerned, that at the unveiling of the Lee
monument three years age, the crowds
which have been entering indicate that
| the occasion marks one of the largest
gatherings ever witnessed in this city.
Two Great Points OF Interest.
Two points here have especial interest
for the visitors, the old Davis mansion
and the rotunda of the capitol where
everything had been arranged for the re
ception of the remains The drapery il
the rotunda where stands the statue O.
| Washington is simple, though impressive
in its sombreness, and the same may b
said of the decorations along the route o
the parade and in adjacent streets.
CoIors Around the Confederate Capitol
Black and white prevail, though her
and there appear the red and white 0
the Confederate shield and miniatur
battle flags, while on one house nea
the starting point Of the parade are tn
flags of Virginia, a flag bearing a pic

where several thousand Confederates ar
buried.
