Entertainments for Good Objects.

Tonight at the Opera House, will appear
under the auspices of the ladies OF the First
Presbyterian church, MI. Polk Miller Of
Richmond, the best delineator of the old
time Virginia Negro and the best teller Of
anecdotes in dialect in the State. 1t may
be we'll to say, to those who do not know
Mr.. Miller, that he is not a professional. y
He is one of the most prominent and well
to do business men Of Richmond, and this
is his "fad." Or, rather, having disclosed
his remarkable talent in social life, he gets
no rest from applications to exhibit it in
public. He is, as might he guessed, a Con-
federate veteran; and he is a genial Chris
tian gentleman, who through his wonder
full gift has done much for the churches Of
the State. Last night he lectured for the
Y. M. G. A. of the University Of Virginia,
and it had been intended by the Y. M. G..
A. here to make his lecture one Of their
entertainments, but they surrendered him to
the ladies OF the First Presbyterian church.
His delineation, says Rev. J. VIM. Jones
who has heard it, SIS not only very anus
ing and provocative of splitting laugh
ter but is a true historic picture"
On Monday night next. there will be a
brilliant lecturer here who has been here
before and does not need an Introduction
Rev. J. J. Lafferty. He will lecture at
the Methodist church on Lewis street, for
the benefit of that church, on ''The Old
Time and the New There is nothing to
say about Bishop Lafferty except Ego and
hear him. Virginia has produced many
bright and witty men in her time, but in
none of them has she so mingled wit, phil
osophy, and brilliant eloquence as she has
in him. Editor, preacher, miller, steno-
grapher, lecturer. raconteur-What is it
that this many sided man is not?

Some Fine Beef for Richmond.

Mr.. VIM. Crawford, from Swoope, ship
ned a car load of fat cattle from Staunton,
Wednesday, to Richmond dealer. They
averaged 1870 pounds, and only brought 3!
cts. In good times these cattle would have
brought Al to cts. Every animal had
been dehorned, practice which has be-
come quite common with our cattle men,
by which the animals horns are cut with
a strong clipping machine close up to the
head. They are found to feed, handle and
ship much better when deprived of their
horns in this way.

little short of it.

The Industrial Army" Unwelcome
at Oakland, California.
A Riot EARLY THIS MORNING
The Militia Summoned and Extra
Deputies.
Elk Nc FOR A TIM

OAKLAND. Cal, April 6.-The city Of
Oakland has had many exciting events in
its history. but nothing occurred here to
compare with the turmoil caused early
this morning by the regiment of unem-
ployed men which left San Francisco We'd
nesday to join Coxey's army on its jour-
ney to Washington. All night every man,
woman and child in Oakland was on the
streets. Riot alarm was sounded, the gov
ernor was asked to call out the national
guards. extra police and deputy sheriffs
were sworn in and armed with rifles and
preparations made for fighting of the blood
lest kind, because six hundred and forty
unemployed. desperate men refused to leave
the city.
Only rash word or an unlucky shot was
required to precipitate a conflict which
would have resulted in the extinction of
this branch of the industrial army for
the men who composed 1t were mostly
unarmed and could have made but a feeble
resistance to the officers and citizens
But the word was not uttered, nor the
shot hred, nor the army overcome by
force. 1t consented to move when 1t was
seen that the further resistance to the will
OF the citizens of Oakland was useless.

COxEY HAS RECRUITS ENOUGH.
Says He Wants No More to Join His
Army.
e Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PlTTSBURG, Pa, April 6.-The common
veal army left Homestead this morning for
Mckeesport. Coxey claims that there are
200 men in line. This cannot be absolutely
determined until night, as many may drop
out. That 700 or about that number left
Homestead Is true. Coxey announces that
no more recruits are wanted. The problem
or furnishing supplies is too serious already.
All effort is now being made to urge on a
movement into Washington by rail. The
prospects are for much suffering In the
Alleghenies next week.
A great number of the new men are Poles
and Huns. and 1t is thought that they will
desert near Uniontown,
Breakfast this morning was served at o
O'Clock and consisted Of fresh pork and
boiled cabbage
Gilbert F. Meyers, candidate for post
master at Mckeesport, wired that he
would furnish the army with a camping
ground there and would also pay the en-
tire toll for taking the army across the
bridge. Provisions and recruits have been
promised by two prominent men from the
same place. Owing to the great amount
of food and clothing donated yesterday by
the citizens of the south side the COM
missary wagon could not carry it all, and
most of 1t has been shipped by rail to
Uniontown.
The ice house where the army was en-
camped last night was set on fire by ashes
dropped from pipe by one of the men.
No damage was done, but the army moved
ivelier than II mas at any time on the
march.

ORDERED FROM ST. LOUIS.
Gen. Frye's Army without Food or
Means of Going East.

ST. LOUIS, April 6-Under the orders Of
the chief of police of East st. Louis Gen"
Fryes Industrial army took another. but
very short, step toward Washington today.
Satisfied that the railroads would not vol
UNFAIRLY transport the travellers Chief
Walsh ordered Gen. Frye to get his men
beyond the city limits as soon after am.
possible.
Frye accepted the situation and after an
early and abbreviated breakfast, consist
ing principally of beans, he got his men in
line and quietly moved from Camp Relay in
the muddy bottoms of East st. Louis to
point on the Collinsville turnpike just out
side the limits Of East st Louis.
There they halted and went into camp
time the ST. Louis outposts were reinforced
and orders issued to prevent the return in
to the city limits. Just what would become
of the men was generally given up as too
hard a conundrum. as they are left prac-
tically without food, and the refusal of the
east bound roads to move them farther,
both on their own account and because of
In structions received from eastern cities
not to bring the wanderers into their limits,
has added to the difficulties of the situa-
ton.
The lack of food for the men increases as
the citizens learn of the unwillingness of
the men to accept the offer of the East St.
Louis water board of 80 per day for one
year for 2OO men to lay pipes. and unless
something new develops the chances today
seemed increasing that Frye might put in
to effect a threat made yesterday to sur
render to the East st. Louis police as va
grants and thus compel the city to care for
them.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Stock values again
attested the CORRECTNESS of the bull posi-
ton by making moderate additions to yes
terday's prices. The volume of business Is
not entirely satisfactory, but improvement
in this respect Is confidently expected
LONDON came higher as result of last
nights strong closing, and bought few
stocks at opening figures. Foreigners were
sufficiently successful with last weeks
liberal purchases to Haria ant repetition of
the movement and tcday's buying indi-
Gates that they are willing to come into
our market at the first sign of local enthu-
sasm.
Sugar has once more taken up conspicu-
Gus position in the speculative list and
gained per cent on buying attributed to a
growing belief in the ultimate defeat Of the
tariff bill. The uncertainty on this point
is still too great to warrant purchases
founded solely on this premature presump-
ton.
The market continued dull throughout the
closing hour, but lost none OF its former
character. Prices with one or two excep-
tons, reflected small gains over initial ng-
ures. The closing was steady at fractional
concessions from best figures.

PRESIDENT YOUNG's VIEWS.
Defining the Status of the Meekin-
Farrell Base Ball Deal,

President n. E. Young Of the National
League was asked this morning by Star
reporter for his opinion concerning the
status Of the Meekn-Farreu deal between
the New York and Washington clubs.
The agreement in my possession" said
Mr.. Young, states. that in the event Of
either Of the players not signing with the
New Yorks. the contract is null and void
But 1t will not be null and void. My opinion
Is that Farrell will play in New York and
that he will sign with the Giants on or be-
fore week from Saturday. In case he
does not sign. / shall hold the $500 for the
present. What shall be done with It later
Is bridge 1 don't care to cross until
come TO il.
in regard to the published statement that
no club in the league would engage in a
game with Washington If Farrell played on
the latter team. do not think it would be
good policy for me to discuss at present
The New York Club needs Farrell. but
Farrell needs the New York Club equally as
much.
During my career as an official of the
National League 1 have seen great many
such cases as the present one and they
nave all come out one way. 1 don't see why
this should be an exception. Farrell is max
Ing a great mistake by not signing lie is
doing himself an injustice, as well as tie
New York Club. No player is so strong that
he can afford to lose any advantages at ali
and Farrell. byshis delay, is losing all that
PAdCtlCe NECESSARY 10 pul MIN In nrSt-cldSS
condition.
Mr.. Farrell is a great ball player a very
nice gentleman and a credit to base bal
but even if he is taking daily exercise and
getting a certain amount of practice he is
losing the chance to practice with the team
with which he is to play and familiarize
himself with the strong points of the men
with whom he will be on the field; that
Is the greatest loss he Will sustain by ab-
sence from his club.
He will start in at disadvantage unless
he has practiced with the team before the
championship contests begin"
Farrell arrived in New York last even
Ing from Boston. sun reporter met him
at the depot and induced the great catcher

Washington. and would take the first train
south this morning. After a twenty-minute
ccnfab with Mr.. Talcott. however. he
agreed on another meeting for today at 10
O'clock.
