MAYORS PECULIAR VETO.
Assigns Color as the Reason for his
ActiOn-The Board Acts Promptly.

At the meeting OF the Board of Alder
men last Tuesday night, the veto of
Mayor Richard M. Taylor was read. 1t
was as follows:
81 return the resolution, adopted by
the Board OF Aldermen September IL,
1894, and coHcurred in by the Common
Council, October 1, 1894, appropriating
So, 500 for armory for First Battalion,
Virginia volunteers, infantry, without
my approval, as deem it unnecessary,
uDwise, and against public policy to
maintain colored soldiers in this city,
and this battalion is composed of color
ed soldiers"
alderman Blake of the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings explained that
the city was paying $500 per year for
q place for this battalion which place
was unAt&or the purposes for which y
was being used.
The appropriation had been recon-
mendec by the Committee on Finance
and had been passed by both branches
OF the Council.
The battalion was here for the protec-
ton of the lives and property of the cit
izen 8. He would not enter into discus
sion of the wisdom of having colored
troops; the fact was plain that they
were here and here to stay.
He moved that the resolution be ar
proved notwithstanding the veto of th'
Mayor. The vote was taken, ayes, ii
noes, o.
There were present President Turpin
and Messrs. Allen, Bahen, Blake, Hard
wicke, Mitchell, Moore, Mouncastle
Reeve, Snead, Starke, Vaughan, Whit
and King.
The amount previously appropriate'
for the colored armory was 81, 500 bu
the bids exceeded the appropriation an
the Committee on Grounds and Bullc
ings asked for 81, 500 more.
The interest on this amount was les
than the amount of rent now being pai
so the matter was recommended as b'
ing a saving to the city.

{ for the completion OF the armory for tt
Stuart Horse Guards was also passes

To Whiten the Teeth.

A homely set Of teeth will spoil the
prettiest mouth ever fashioned after
Cupid's bow-string. On the other
hand, a commonplace face becomes
positively attractive when the lips
open and disclose two rows of clean,
well-kept worries They need not be
like dentifrice advertisements, and
the pearls" Of the old-fashioned
heroine are in this practical age but
lightly esteemed. But there must be
about the well-groomed mouth a
wholesome, clearly look. Precepi-
tated chalk will keep the teeth in fine
condition. Have a box of it always
on your toilet stand and see what it
will do toward freshening up dingy
mouthful of teeth.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medioinc. Learn how to
tell a story. A wcll-told story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smile. No
one cares to hear whether you have
the earache, headache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out of place in
real lite. Learn to meet your friends
with smile, The good-humored man
or woman is always welcome, but the
dyspeptic or hypochondriac is not
wanted anywhere, and is a nuisance
as well.
