AN ADDRESS ADOPTED.
The meeting adopted an address ITO
the citizens OF Richmond setting forth
the reasons for and the advantages ac-
crung from an exposition. The address
says II Is believed that the Importance
Of the city OF Richmond demands and
will sustain something better than an
ordinary four-days' fair; that better ex-
hibits can be secured for an exposition
running ten days than for fair; that
cheaper railroad rates can be obtained,
&c. and then proceeds TO giyefthe aims
and plans of the management.
AIMS AND PLANS.
It IS proposed to Offer at least 5000 in
premiums for county exhibits, put forth
extraordinary efforts to make the EXPOSE
ton thorough index OF the natural and
industrial resources OF the State in the
way of minerals, forest products. and
manufactures, and give due attention TO
such special amusements and features as
will attract large crowds.
Among the specialties contemplated are
n Virginia tournament, sham battle ana
competitive military drill. horse races
bicycle races. boys sports, &c. IL Is
also proposed to have a farmer's-day'
North Carolina-day. children s-day. Rich
mond day. German-day, labor-day. and
colored- peoples day.
The committee think that they can
make the exposition an exceedingly valu-
able medium OF advertising the states
resources and advantages to capitalists
and home-seekers from other States.

HIS MIND GAVE WAY.
Return Of Captain Gould to His Home In
Massachusetts,.

BOSTON. MASS. January T-Captain
Gould. OF the Chatham Life-Savng Ha-
ton. who disappeared so mysteriously last
August, and had been given up as dead
by many OF his friends. has been brought
back from Virginia by his wife. Captain
Gould was also the proprietor or the Cha-
than Beach Hotel. and was well known
on that part OF the cape. one SATURDAY
afternoon he left the beach to go to the
town. cstensibly to attend to some ousi-
ness. saying that he would return by
night But he did not come back, ana IN
vestigation showed that he had gone py
boat to New York.
Then he wrote letters home to his wife
and to chief surfman at the life
saving station. saying that he should not
return. He gave no reason for his strange
action. and as his domestic relations had
always been Of the happiest. and he was
doing a profitable hotel-business, 1t was
apparent that his mind must have given
way. From descriptions sent about the
country the life-saving people at Norfolk
identified a strange man who had been
frequenting the beach near there as Cap
tain Gould. He had n hunting outfit and
had been living In the woods in hut.

say he will never be able TO perform any
mental work again. although his insanity

UNDER THE LINDENS.
BERLIN "EMFETe" IN HONOR oE THE
KAISER.
Thirty Yith Anniversary Of His Msjesty's
Birth-An Enthusiastic Celebration
Tho Bismarck Reconcii iation.

BERLIN, January 27.-To-day Is the
thirty-ffth anniversary OF the birth OF
EmfAror william, and the whole city Is
zen fete" in honor OF the occasion. The
houses that were yesterday decorated In
honor Of the visit Of Prince Bismarck
retain their flags and bunting. and all
the government municipal buildings are
handsomely adorned. The celebration OF
the occasion began at midnight by the
pealing Of all the church bells and the
firing Of an imperial salute by the artil-
lery.
The day was beautiful, the sun shining
brightly, and the principal streets were
filed with people. Unter-den-Linden and
the castle square presented a most brill
liant scene At noon a park OF artillery
stationed in the Lust Garten fired
suitable salute OF 1Ol guns.
THE wATCHwORD.
An hour later, the Emperor, accompa-
MED by the King Of Saxony and the King
OF Wurtemburg. together with a large
suite OF officers. all attired in gorgeous
uniforms. walked from the castle to the
arsenal. where the Emperor gave out
the garrison watchword. which was
Long Live His Majesty. the KAISER
Koenig"
The Emperor sgnalized the day BY
comforting a number of decorations upon
prominent men. Tonight the city was
brilliantly Illuminated. The Emperor held
a reception, and a grand gala perform
ance was given at o'clock tonight at
the Opera-House.
The Bismarck reconciliation incident
has undoubtedly added greatly TO the En-
peror's popularity. and made heartler the
enthusiasm OF the greeting Oh the people
everywhere he went to-day.

The First Police Station.

Is 4. not about time that the proper au-
thorities were giving the First Police Sta
ton additional room? The station ia very
much cramped and the officers In charge
have no place in which they can have a
private conversation with a prisoner or
any one else. BY building out over the
shed to the rear OF the station additional
accommodations could be provided at
small expense. 1t would certainly seem
that the officers and men Of the First Dis
trict deserve that much consideration.
They keep the present station-house in
tip-top order. and would take still more
pride In their quarters If these were ex-
tended.
