A Fine Comedy Attraction at the Academy
Tomorrow Evening.
a pair of extremely capable light
comedians will appear in IA Breezy
Time" at the Academy tomorrow eve-
ming. They are E. b. Fritz and Kath-
ryn Webster. They are accomplished
not only in comedy, but also in singing.
The best part of it is that their per
Torrance is new. Farce comedies have
been on the road so long now that
things that used to make us laugh are
no longer able TO do so. 1t is with this
fact we'll in mind that IA Breezy Time"
Is sent out on the road this season. 1t
has been thoroughly condensed and re-
written since last year, and although
the salient features of 1892 and 1893
have been retained, enough new mater
ial has been injected into it to make it
we'll worth seeing even for second
time.
Ticket, for the Concert Going Rapidly.
Tickets to the grand Easter concert,
which will be given by the Roanoke
Machine Works Band at the Academy
Of Music, Monday night. March 20, are
selling rapidly and the indications are
that crowded house will greet what,
no doubt, will be the musical event of
the season.
The philharmo nic orchestra, which is
to participate in the concert, held a
rehearsal last night in the old Opera
House. The final rehearsal will be
held Saturday afternoon at the Academy
of Music. The school children will be
rehearsed at 2:30 o'clock and the band,
chorus and orchestra at o'clock. The
rehearsal will he held earlier than was
at first intended on account OF "a
Breezy limo" occupying the house that
night.

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE: The Democrats
of Virginia are perfectly willing to have
all the protection removed from the coal
of their State if that on the products of
the New England States be also re-
moved; but they very naturally object
to the abolition of the coal duty, and
consequently to the injury of Virginia's
coal interests and those OF her railroads,
in order to furnish free coal to New
England manufac turers, whose products
are protected by a 40 per cent. duty.
Without duty Canadian coal could be
sold in Boston dollar ton cheaper
than than from Virginia, while the price
OF the latter to home consumers would
not be reduced one cent.
There is good deal of truth in the
above paragraph, and it is hoped that
the Senate will look upon it in the same
light as has the finance committee in
making their amendments to the Wilson
measure.

THIS is the cleaning up time" of the
year both inside the home and pom the
exterior and about the streets and lots
OF the city. The necessity is apparent;
for the sake of health it is imperative
that the germs Of disease be not allowed
to form on account of bad drainage, de-
fective plumbing or the accumulation
Of filth and dirt in back yards and
around the sheds and stables; for the
sake OF good appearances it is obliga-
tory to have the lawns raked over AMI
cleaned OF the debris that may have al
5cumulated during the past few months.
It will be the duty of the board OF
public health OF the city to carefully
hunt out everything that savors of foul
ness and filth and seek remedy at
once. 1t should be an object Of especial
attention of the street department to
see that the highways are kept clean
and neat at all times. Cleanliness is
next to godliness, it is said, and we can
improve our condition here by an OBJ
servance Of this motto. 1t costs little
to preserve tidy appearance, while its
value is .inestimable.

the Appointment.
John I. Han Comes From washington

John I. Hall Comes From Washin Eton
to Urge the Selection Of Exon
gresham Blount-M Many Petitions
Sent In In Favor offs. M. Inman- The
Governor Still a Sphynx.
Atlanta, Ga, March 2S.-There are no
developments in the senatorial situation
to-day. The governor has been in Macon
during the day in attendance upon the
funeral Of Senator ColqUitt, and it is
generally believed that he will announce
the appointment for the senatorial va
cancy tomorrow or next day.
Among the names which have been
urged is that Of Congressman James
II. Blount, and which, it is said, was pre-
scented by John l. Hall of Georgia, First
Assistant Attorney General of the in
terror department, who had a talk with
the governor on Monday Mr.. Hall
came straight from Washington. The
name of Hon. Joseph B. Cumming, of
Augusta was presented Monday after
noon and at the same time, the names of
Hon. Clifford. Anderson, James w. Robert
son, s. NJ. Inman and Robert G. Mitchell
were also presented with number of
others.
THE GOVERNOR NOT TO DELAY.
The governor says he will make the ap-
poiutment soon, and the fact that con-
gress is in session and important work is
before the Senate removes any ground
for criticism of undue haste.
Lengthy petitions signed by the bust
ness men of Athens and Rome, request
ing the appointment of $. NJ lnman, of
Atlanta as a representative bust
ness man. were submitted to the gov
ernor to-day. Also Geographic petition
from the business men of Charleston, s.
c. Numerous kilograms from all parts
Of the state and from the south have been
received, urging his name, at the gov
ernOr's Office to-day.
The refusal of Hon. Patrick Walsh to
have his name presented, makes uncer-
tain what would have been practically
certain had he consented to become a can
didate. He has been for a long time
the governors most prominent supporter
and his paper, the Chronicle. was the
first to urge Gov. NOrUhens candidacy
for governor. He is for Mai. Cumming
his fellow tOwusman, and refuses to be
considered
JUDGE ERWIN ADVOCATED.
Athens, Ga, March 2s Many residents
of Athens and Northeast Georgia favor
the appointment OF Judge Alexander S.
Erwin to fill the uneXpired term of the
late Senator Colquitt Besides being an
able iurist, no man in Georgia has sounder
political views, or Is in more thorough
accord with the party than Judge Erwin
These qualifications, together with his
lofty character and high sense of honor
it is claimed, pre-eminently fit him for the
position Gov Northen has his name
under consideration.
