"FOR REVENUE ONLY"
Milton Mobiles Attracted n Large Audience
nj tho Richmond Thentre.


Mr.. Milton MOBILES and an excellent
company Of supporting artists presented
last evening at the Richmond Theatre for
the first time in this city For Revenue
Only, a satirical comedy in four acts.
The plot of the play is that a prominent
banker in an unguarded moment consents
TO eater politics. and about the same
time a reporter agrees TO run his cam
paign for him.
The first act introduces the reporter
who proves himself TO be a shrewd indivf-
dual, but there must be something wrong
with the play when he can't tell an heiress
and young woman Of refinement from a
servant girl. Then, too, the climax TO
the act is weak.
in the second act the enjoyment Of the
audience begins in real earnest. and there
is laughter from that time until the final
drop OF the curtain. In fact, there is. If
anything too much fun, for the audience
is hardly given time to catch its breath.
Clever Fanny Rice and her excellent
company will draw a large audience
Thursday evening at the Theatre. The
entertainment she presents is admirable.
There will be a special matinee Friday.

one of the Greatest Americans.


One hundred years ago this May Eli
Whitney perfected his cotton gin and
put it to practical working. OF its ef-
fects on the destinies of this country
Macauley, the historian, said, What
Peter the Great did to make Russia dom
inant Eli Whitney's invention has more
than equaled in its relation to the power
and progress of the United States"
1t is interesting to know that the first
idea of machine which should sepa-
rate the seed of cotton from the fiber was
woman's inspiration. What is more.
Eli Whitney could probably not have
made it if he had not been trained me
chanic before he was student, teacher
and inventor. Whitney was born in
Westboro, Mass, in 1885, During his
early years he was a nailmaker, and
in that humble occupation he earned
money to start TO Yale college. After a
brief stay there he was scholar enough
to teach country school. That was his
first step upward. He taught school and
saved money sufficient to graduate him
at Yale.
Time out of mind, teaching first, then
studying law, has been the plan of impe-
cunious young college graduates. 1t was
Whitney's plan. He was visiting the
widow of General Nathaniel Greene on
the Savannah river in 1902, pursuing his
law studies. Some of Mrs. Greene's
guests were one day saying what pity
it was that the seed could not be sepa-
rated more readily from green seed cot
ton, for then it would be the most profit
able of all. At once Mrs. Greene pro-
posed that Whitney should be set at the
task of inventing seed cleaning ma
chine. whitney can do anything" said
Mrs. Greene.
Whitney began the work and more
than justified her expectations. But SO
few machinists were there in the south
at that time that he himself had to weld
work and draw every part of the iron he
used both for the machine he made and
the tools with which he made it, Before
his invention only one pound of green
seed cotton could be cleaned by hand il
a day. The cotton gin at once placed
the United States triumphantly at the
head of all the cotton neutrality-suspicious.
where it has remained and will remain
But the ingratitude with which Whit
ney was treated by his countrymen Is
almost on par with the treatment Co
lumbus received from the Spanish ma
ton he enriched. The greatest bene
factors of mankind fare the worst.

Queer Things at the worlds Fair.

Certainly the promoters of the Chica-
go Worlds fair deserve some credit for
the thoroughness with which they are
carrying out their original conception.
1t was proposed, we believe, to make an
exhibition of every phase of human life,
of everything that could be created by
the hands Of man, Of every possible art
and industry, both ancient and modern.
1t was not possible to bring over to
America the pyramids or Windsor cas-
tie, or we have no doubt the exhibition
committee would have done so. AS it is,
they were fain to content themselves
with models of the original buildings
But in the case of more portable OBJ
jects their ambition has had free scope,
and they seemed to have fairly ransacked
the whole habitable globe in search Of
specimens Of human enterprise and in
genuity. To such lengths have they car
ried out their scheme that they have now
included in their list Of exhibits all the
procurable paraphernalia of the burglar
and the criminal and have issued no
tice to English gamekeepers and land
owners inviting them to supply the ex-
hibition with any tools and implements
of the poacher's trade that they may have
in their possession. Spectator.

TIE PRESIDENTS NEGLECT

There is little prospect that the
financial condition Of the country will
settle TO a steady basis until congress
sional legislation Of some character is
passed, and Mr.. Cleveland is placed In
the awkward position of being afraid
of his own party on the money ques-
ton. Had he not been afraid that the
house and senate would defeat his
policy, the president would doubtless
have called an extra session of congress
Immediately upon his Inauguration,
but fearing he could not carry his own
plans through, Mr.. Cleveland refused
to convene congress i'm extra session
and has devoted himself to the laborious
task Of Strengthening his personal
power among the members of the two
houses, with but doubtful results to his
own credit so far, and certainly to the
detriment Of the financial interests of
the country. In his recent utterances
to press reporter, the president as
serted that he was DESTROYS of calling
congress together in order ITO throw
the responsibility of defining a financial
policy upon the house and senate, {"
and yet he takes good care to delay
shifting the responsibility from his own
shoulders as long as possible the evil
dent objective point being, as
already suggested, the desire to
gain a working majority In both
branches of the national Legislature,
and In doing 80 he is coquetting in the
matter Of appointments with Republi-
cans and Populists as well as with the
members of his own party. Indeed, II

Lutheran German Church.

German residents in Paris who belong
to the Augsburg confession are to have
0 handsome new church. 1t is estimated
that out of the 10000 Teutons in the
French capital $4,000 follow the Augs-
burg rites. There is at present a German
Evangelical church in the Rue Chauchat,
and also three smaller places, where di-
vine worship is held under difficulties.
The new church will therefore be a
great boon to those for whose spiritual
needs it is intended, and Pastor Frisins,
who has initiated the undertaking, de-
serves the support and sympathy of all
his fellow countrymen in Paris for his eff
forts.
He has gone to Berlin and has seen not
only the head of the Augsburg consis-
tory, but has been received by the emper-
or, who has given him 1000 marks to-
ward the funds for the construction Of
the needed edifice. Nearly all the Ger
man princes-C Catholic as well as Prot
estant-have sent subscriptions to tho
good work.-Paris Cor. London Tele-
graph.

for The next two, and probably four
years, as the Republican members OF
the house and senate.
At any rate, Mr.. Cleveland and no
one else is now responsible for the con-
tinuance of the financial disquiet of the
country. Whatever agencies have con-
spired to bring about the present condi-
ton of affairs, and whatever may fol-
low the actions of congress, the truth
maintains with increasing force that
the president, for some reason, refuses
to take the only step which can eventu-
ate in bringing back to the country a
restoration of confidence in financial
circles.

OF the 10000 civil offices under the
United States government, 1890 have
now been embraced within the scope Of
the civil service law, which forbids re-
movals except for cause. Under each
presidential administration since the
Pendleton civil service act was passed
the number of Offices brought within the
protection Of the law has rapidly in
creased. The changes in political parties
have added to the list greatly. AS the
Republican or Democratic president re-
tires he wishes to keep as many of his
own party in Office as possible; conse-
quently he issues as he goes out the or
der placing one or more classes Of gov
eminent employees under the egis of the
civil service law.
