STATE BOARD or HEALTH.
Conference With the Governor and Com
mitiee of Hnsineas Men.

The State Board OF Health met at Muir
phys Hotel yesterday morning, but the
members adjourned without uansacting
ally business to Colonel J. Bell Bigger s
office at the Capitol building. There the
board met q subcommittee from the
health and sanitary committee OF the
Chamber OF Commerce. according 10 a
resolution offered by DIR. Irving at the
meeting on the previous evening.
Messrs. John II. West and r. II. Bissell
represented the Chamber OF Commerce.
and "a thorough discussion was held as to
the manner in which 10 fight the cholera
should it make its appearance here during
the coming summer. The gentlemen from
the Chamber promised 10 render all pos
sible aid TO the board.
Drs. Irving, Edwards and Parish were
appointed a committee 10 draft an adj
dress, giving the best means to be adopt
ed to successfully wrestle with the chol-
era All commercial bodies in this State
will be appealed 10 in order that the
necessary funds be obtained to defray
the legitimate expenses Of the State
Board.
Dr w. r. Oppenhimer president Of the
Board Of Health OF the city Of Rich
mond, was also on hand and made an
interesting statement on the subject, and
assured the State Board that he would
assist them as much as possible.
At the close of the meeting the mem
bers of the State Board repaired to the
executive chamber, where they conferred
at length with Governor Mckinney.
The act passed by the Legislature
at the last session. which created the
state Board Of Health, distinctly pro-
vides that that botv shall not cause any
expense 10 the State. The Governor,
however, after due elaboration, has come
to the conclusion to pay the legitimate
expenses of the members Of the board,
such as travelling expenses, stationery
and postage stamps. out Of the contingent
fund. The latter amounts to $4,000 per
ysar. and ii is thought that the expenses
of the board will not exceed a few hun
dred dollars. The balance OF the neces-
sary expenses during the present year are
expected 10 be paid by subscriptions of
individuals and commercial bodies in this
state.
The Legislature Will be called upon next
winter to provide in the future the means
for the maintenance and support of the
board.
The committee appointed TO compile the
address to the residents OF this State
will submit the same TO the Governor for
his approval before 1t is made public.

Successful Reception Given at the Room
of the Institution.

OF The Institution.
At the Woman's Exchange. Third and
Franklin streets yesterday afternoon
from 5 to o'clock was held a reception.
1t was rendered by the board OF managers
of the institution TO the subscribers. and
a very large number of ladies attended
The subscribers almost entirely support
the institution, for the rate charged for
the selling OF articles is totally inadequate
10 pay the current expenses
Thirty-one ladies compose the board,
and for the past few years the Exchange
has been quite successful. 1t has only
been a short time since they moved into
their present new quarters. and the ladies
who have worked so nobly for the sue
cess of the Exchange were well pleased
that on yesterday the tenth anniversary
OF the commencement OF the institution,
they could celebrate the event in such
commodious and excellent quarters.
In the front OF the room is kept the
needle-work and embroidery, while in
the rear are displayed the preserves.
pickles. &c.
AT the reception yesterday the pleasure
of those present was enhanced by several
selections on mandolins by the Dixie Glee
Club, composed Of Miss Nina Randolph
directress; Miss Bessie Catlin, Miss Mary
McCaw. Misses Adelaide and Elizabeth
Watkins and Miss Julia Lee.
The daintiest of lunches was served
in the rear OF the room. and the ladies
who called were delighted.
Mrs. s. III. Halves is the very efficient
president of the institution, and has acted
In that capacity since the commencement
Of the Exchange.

THE BEHRING SEA COMMISSION

Now that the Behring Sea International
Arbitration Commission has Organized for
work, the public will look with anxious
expectations for the results Of their labors.
The commission has adjourned until
April 9Th. in order that the arbitrators
may, in th>heantime, read and come to
an understanding of the documents that
embody the cases Of the United States
and England. AS the whole case is con-
tanned in documents already in the pos
session Of the court, the issues could
really be decided as soon as the COM
mission reconvenes. But lawyers. in their
own opinions. and presumably in the
opinions of those who employ them. are
not employed for nothing. Their elo-
quence and arguments must be well ven
tilated and fully aired. They must be
given an opportunity to show to each
member OF the court that any impression
he has derived from reading the docu-
ments that is unfavorable to a particular
lawyers side of the case is an erroneous
impression, of which that arbitrator must
rid himself Therefore. when the com
mission reassembles 81 reasonable Cor I'M
reasonable. as you may choose TO view it,
time must be given to the lawyers Of
each side TO show the court that plain
propositions are really very abstruse
When the lawyers have spoken their
pieces, the court will take its own time
for celebrating upon its conclusions. after
which comes the Judgment.
The Times has very fully discussed this
case. and its readers know that in it's
opinion the United States have no case at
all. The United States are asserting ex-
elusive rights in a very large part of the
chased those rights from Russia. But
the open sea is common property for all
mankind, in which Russia could acquire
no exclusive rights to transfer to the
United States. and our case rests. there
fore. upon the "baseless fabric of a
dream" Though we shall. no doubt
lose our case, ii is. nevertheless, greatly
to be hoped that a certain and we'll de

TIL famous Robin Hood Opera Company

three nights, beginning next Thursday.
1t has been heraided everywhere as the
greatest comic opera company on the road
and as IL is owned by Messrs Barnabee
Karl and Macdonald, there is good ground
for the statement. As usual, these ar
tistic managers have been very careful
in selecting their artists. and have put on
the opera with the same care which has
always characterized them in every pro-
duction. The company is composed Of the
following well-known reputable people:
Miss Caroline Hamilton. prima donna
Miss Ethel Balch, Miss Jenny Dickerson

Theatre; Edward ID. Palfrey. Mr.. Hallan
Mostyn, formerly comedian Of Agnes
Huntington Opera Company, and A. +.
Nichols, the Frar Tuck; Frank Pearson.
the celebrated bassO, and Edwin Isham.
who is considered England's famous
Chamber concert singer, and others equal
ly well known. Every attention has been
paid TO staging and costuming this opera.
and the company positively carries its
scenery and well-equipped orchestra.
Ii Is enough to receive the guarantee OF
such wel-known men as Messrs. Barnabee
Karl and Macdonald TO insure a perfect
representation Of this beautiful opera.
The performance Of this opera In this
city will be the eight hundred and twenty
eighth presentation. 1t is just termr at
ing a successful run of go nights at the

standing in regard to the time TO be al
