ramento born and raised. Had she for

would have been widely known in the
world Of dramatic expression. Six years
ago the RECORD UNION saw the promise
in the youth that the woman now fultills

lady to pursue a thorough course OF
study. While we are scattering our half

ADJUSTMENTS.

A large audience at the Opera-house last
night witnessed the initial performance
of The Black Flag" a sensational melo-
drama, introducing realistic scenes in
convict life within Portland prison walls
in England. The piece was well played,
and introduced two new sets by Scenic
Artist McKune, both rock scenes, and
one of them a folding or transformation
scene. Mr.. Snow was seen at last in
strongly emotional part, and played it
with great credit. The new leading man.
Mr.. Hallett, had the role of the villain,
with very little opportunity to prove his
mettle, but he had enough of prominence
to show that he is practical and capable
actor. Miss Girard, a new face, needs to
put more of feeling and animation into
the part of Naomi. She is stage familiar,
but needs more spirit. Mr.. Waldron had
the low comedy part, and did it thor
oughly well. Jennie Calef had touch
ingly pathetic role, and proved herself as
good in that as in comedy. The piece
took well, was excellently staged, and IS
certain to run to full houses the week
through.

STOP THE ELECTION OF SENATOR
UNTIL INVESTIGATION.

Our local reporter, in saying yesterday
that resolution TO Investigate the
circumstances Of The election OF
some of the members would proba-
bly, be introduced into the Leg
isatlUe. added that such an in
vestlgation would not have any effect
upon the election Of senator. We do not
know whose opinion our reporter was
voicing when he made this statement,
but be 1t the opinion of whomsoever it
may, it ought to be an erroneous one.
The charge made is, that money was
used before the election Of the
Legislature TO secure the election
OF certain members upon an agreement
that IL elected they would vote for a
certain-named candidate for the Senate
The fact that the pecuniary obligation
arose before the election OF the member
does not affect the principle involved,
which is that an honest and unprejudced
Judgment, not money. should control the
votes Of members. Such a transaction
is morally, If not legally,
bride Of the members who made
the agreement, and If any such was
made the party to II he should
never be elected a senator from Virginia.
And the charge goes to the integrity Of
the Legislature Itself. II there are any OF
les members who propose TO cast their
votes for senator in compliance with a
contract Of this nature based on a pecu-
MARY consideration. it is the duty Of the
body itself 10 forbid them 10 vote. 1T
may Involve the body going the length Of
expening such members from the LegisIa-
ture.
The Legislature, therefore, cannot fail
10 Investigate the charges and it is its duty
TO postpone the election of senator until
the charges are investigated and the truth
is made known. IT should take a formal
ballot without choice on next Tuesday
and on each succeeding day untn fun
investigation has been made
And let us have a perfectly fair COM
mittee OF investigation--one that viii
fairly and fully protect the honor of Vir-
ginia. The people will not hear Of any
thing else.
This investigation may break up friend
ships. and may destroy the hopes Of all
the prominent candidates for the senator
ship So be it. No sacrifice is too great
"a purify the political atmosphere and
let the people know how and why their
representatives vote We make this de- |
mand for an investigation IN the interest |
Of no man. but Of the people Of Virginia, |
whose honor and whose rights cannot be |
oyershadowed by the aspirations OF any |
individual.
We urge the people all over the State 1
10 write 10 their representatives and SEN
etors demanding that the election OF SEN.
ator shan be suspended until an investiga-
lion OF the charges OF corrupt practices |
has been made. Have public meetings
pass and publish your resolutions, and put
all the pressure in your power on your
representatives In the Legislature. Vir-
Einia's good name IS at stake and all her
sons must rally TO her rescue.

Down on Promiscuons weddings.

Several years ago some OF the churches
Of Richmond found It necessary 10 place
restrictions on The crowds attending
public weddings. The methods adopted
for restraining the curious were effective
and the evils attending the large and
promiscous assemblages Oh these occa-
sions were soon remedied.
The trustees Of Centenary Methodist
church. recognizing that something must
be done 10 protect church property on
such occasions, met Friday and adopted
a resolution providing that at all future
marriages i'm that church admissions
shall be by card only"
This notice was ren1 from the pulpit
Sunday by the request Of the trustees. and
commented on by the pastor In view Of
the almost disgraceful scenes which have
occurred in this and other churches during
the present season. IL was heartily en-
dorsed by the congregation.
It is understood that Other churches viii
take action along the same line.
