Points In PaImtEtrY.

An interesting discussion has sprung
up among the palmists in regard to the
line of the hand known as the mar
riage line. One recognized authority
says that when this line curves upward
the possessor is not likely to marry at
all. Other experts say they know
many married and happy people with
such line. It is also alleged that the
transverse line on the chill of Mer-
curry" which one party says is the mar
riage line, is not so considered by the
Chirologieal society. "Our opinion"
says the editor of the party organ, els
that these lines are signs of attach
ment, and there is scarcely hand ever

DR.. HOCE AND The SEMINARY.
His Views with Reference to the Removal
of the Institution.

The Central Presbyterian Of this week.
In its report of the discussion in the
recent session OF the Synod of Virginia
of the question Of removing the Union
Theological Seminary. says:
The Rev. DR.. Hoge, whose personal re-
lations to Prince Edward are so many
and so strong in the address which he
made took the ground that II IN the
course Of time the drtt OF the country
population 10 the cities should so piu-
ence our candidates for the ministry as
70 cause them to desert an institution
because Of its rural situation, Of course
We cannot maintain a seminary with
empty recitatiOn-rOom-. theoretically
this republic IL a union of sovereign
States, il practically has become ma
ton OF sovereign cities. full OF menace
to the perpetuation OF free institutions
There Is a hope and prospect. as some
think OF an arrest Of this tendency, and
Of an ebb-tide from the cities TO the
country. In that event. one objection.
which some make, 10 the present iocd-
ton Of the seminary would be si.enced'
But In the mean time he said. whether
the seminary were ultimately moved or
not, IL was in every way desirable that
50 long as il remains IN It's present
locality. It should be made more convent
ent of access, and that the synod should
regard with pleasure the effort making
In Prince Edward for the extension of n
railroad TO Iiampden-Sidney. lie also
urged that II in the future there should
be sufficient inducement offered by Rich
mond or any other place. for the trans
fer OF the seminary that Hampden-Sidney
should not be left behind. He argued
that such were the relations OF the two
institutions and the well-known happy
results OF these relations that II would
be an injury 10 both the college and the
seminary to separate them.
Dr. Hoge was willing TO wait for the
report OF the committee appointed by
the directors OF the seminary TO consider
all questions relating TO its removal. ana
did not think il necessary for the synod
TO appoint q committee for a similar pur-
pose. especially as the Synod OF North
Carolina has taken no action on the sub
iect. He was also opposed 10 any action
on the part of the synod al its present
session that would bind IL either 10 retain
or remove the seminary. or bind II 10
any future action relating to that sub
iect. but contended that all its future
course I'm reference to that institution
should be determined by such develop
ments. in the providence OF God, as would
make its duty manifest. Should the semi
nary ultimately come 10 Richmond, OF
course. we would rejoice In the dement's
our PRESBYTERIAN cause would derive from
the influence Of such a noble institution,
hut the question was not what would De
good for Richmond. but what would be
hest for the seminary. for the welfare OF
the whole Church, and for the glory OF
God

THE ROBBERS NOT YET CAUGHT.
Not Enough Police-Watch Recovered
Thieves Quite Active.

The police Of the Third District have
not yet succeeded In running down the two
hlghwaymen who robbed Mr.. \. Greene
wald on west Grace street late Saturday
night Captain Hulce is satisfied that the
men were not tramps. as the knights OF
the turnpike are rarely ever found to be
armed. but sharp thieves. who had spotted
the druggist and had their eye on his
handsome $l25 scarf-pin. This theory Is
strengthened by the fact that after Mr.
Greenewald's watch and money had been
taken he was made 10 raise his mead ana
the diamond was snatched.
The fact that these two men were en-
abled to hold a gentleman up on one of the
principal RESIDENT thoroughfares OF the
city demonstrates that the present police
force is inadequate TO deal with lawless-
ness in its every phase as should be the
case in "A city the size of Richmond. It's
true that very few such bold outrages as
this one have ever occurred in this city.
but that Is no criterion 10 judge the future
by. The section in which the offence re-
ferred TO occurred is probably the most
meagrely patrolled in the city. Only three
officers are assigned TO duty between
Broad and Main and First street and the
boundary line after dark. This Is no fault
of the captain of this district, but he Is
without men to put there.
THE WATCH RECOVERED.
The gold watch stolen from the resi-
dence OF Mrs. Withers. on west Grace
street, last Saturday night was re-
covered below Fulton yesterday az
ternoon by Officers Gibson and Bar
foot, OF the Third District. Just how the
timepiece came 10 be where 1t was found
the police are not yet ready to explain.
They are working the matter up and may
