Business.Msn for This Purpose.
A Joint meeting OF the Executive and
Citizens Auxiliary committees Of the vIr-
ginia state Agricultural and Mechanical
Society was held in the Office Of the So
ciety yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
Those present were Messrs. Wood. Green
tree, Harwood, Hardwicke, Waddey.
Christian. Murphy, Cottrell. Lorraine, and

Mr.. Wood stated that the object of
the meeting was to organize and ap-
point committees for the purpose Of can
wasting the city to raise the money to
liauidate the old debt of the society, 30
that It could begin at once to work on
the next Exposition. He said that two
or three members OF the committee had
been out already and had met with a
very kind reception at the hands of the
merchants. who affirmed that the Expo
sition had been of great benefit to them.
In some instances firms that were down
on the guarantee list. and understood
that they could not be called on as
guarantors, had promised to pay
twice as much now. as they put them
selves down for last spring. on the guar
antee list. The president asserted that
those with whom he had come in con-
tact seemed to be thoroughly in sympa-
thy with the movement. and he thought
the committee could raise the funds with
out any trouble. He also stated that peo-
pie who had formerly not been In favor
of expositions had expressed themselves
since the last one given by the society as
heartily in sympathy with them.
1t was moved and adopted that the
city be divided into sections and COM
mittees be appointed to make thorough
canvass. The president appointed the

THE ELKs LODGE OF SORROW.
Good Music and Excellent Speeches at the
Sunday Afternoon Session.

Richmond Lodge, No. a., of Elks. held
their annual memorial service at the
Academy Sunday afternoon. The house
was crowded from pit to dome, and the
utmost decorum and reverence was OBJ
served throughout the entire ceremony.
The decorations were liberal, appropriate,
and effective, consisting of black and
white bunting arranged in lambrequins.
streamers ard bannerets, Systematically
disposed round the walls, boxes and gal
leries and hanging from the proscenium
arch.
The service, which was Instituted seven
teen years ago, is solemn and interest
ing, and created a profound impression
on all those present. The brothers VINO
were commemorated were IL. 1. Ottey.
W. II. Talman. Henry Bucker. w. a.
Cans. II. +. Phillips A. w. Pizzini,
Charles l.. Segel. Joseph H. Beckman,
Robert j. Archer, and Ira Glazebrook.
The vacant chairs of the deceased men,
bers ranged on the stage right, were
surrnounted by their Elk aprons, and
white shield embossed with the late bro
theirs name stood In front, while above
each was an electric-lamp. which was
kindled as the dead mans name was call
ed for the third and last time during the
''roll-call." creating an effect that was
profoundly tOucninB anu HISHiy syHOoii-
cal. being at the same time somewhat
startling, weird. and dramatic.
The officers Of the lodge were seated in
their respective positions. and the rank
and-file members occupied the two front
rows OF seats on the ground-foor.' Eu-
logy was the keynote of the whole SER
vice. The fraternal sentiment which en-
tered so largely into the proceedings, and
the many touching tributes and tokens OF
genuine heartfelt sorrow struck many
responsive chords In the breasts OF that
vast concourse OF people and called up
recollections and emotions that bedimmed
the eyes Of many a hardened wayfarer.
The musical programme. which was ad-
mirably rendered, did much TO impress
and elevate those present. The combined
orchestras of the Academy and Theatre.
under the direction of Brother NJ. Stein.
were In attendance. The hymns were
beautifully rendered by a chorus of go
voices. The soloists were Miss Ida Rob-
inson, Mrs. Knowles. Captain Cunning
ham, and Mr.. James X. Branch. while
Messrs. Cloves and Lehman took part
In the concerted numbers OF the pro-
gramme. The service opened shortly after
o'clock with the grandly -solemn strains
Of Wagners Pilgrims Chorus" beauu-
fully rendered by the orchestras Every
musical item was given with exquisite
taste and feeling. and the whole attained
a high degree OF artistic excellence The
most notable numbers were Weary" by
the quartette OF the Centenary Methodist
church, and Gounods There is Green
Hill Far Away" by Miss Ida Robinson.

mony, the benediction at the close being
given by the latter.
=, .Orations were delivered by Mr.. Juan
A. PizzIni, OF Richmond. and Mr.. J. F.
Duncan, OF Norfolk. and the eulogy on
the Departed Brothers was pronounced
by Mr.. L. o. Wendenburg. Mr.. Pizzini
spoke on "The Order OF Elks." Briefly
and tersely he reviewed the objects. te-
nets. and achievements Of the great order.
speaking with a power and earnestness
that were convincing.
..The Duty of an Elk" was the theme
of Mr.. Duncan, who did ample Justice.
EmbellIshing his address with admirable
oratorical effects. Mr.. Duncan spoke with
a fiuency and ease that stamped him as
an orator of very brilliant parts. MI.

tribute to the departed brothers in a
very able and eloquent eulogy.

 A dastardly act was perpetrated on lot of school children at Colt, last Friday. The circumstances are as follows: Prof. Blalock had just dis missed his school. and the little ones were on their way to their homes. While sauntering down the road a wagon containing two negroes came driving rapidly along, and without checking the speed, drove in their midst, the wagon passing over the lower limbs of Miss Jennie Arnold Prof. Blalock hurried to the road as quickly as possible after he heard the screaming, but the negroes had driven on without stopping. Summoning several men. the wagon was overtaken. but one negro had alighted and skipped and the negro who was in the wagon claimed that he was not driving at the time, but the othe- was the party. He was permitted to go. but a warrant was issued and Saturday morning the same negro was arrested by M. w. Izard and proved to be the driver He was fined by Squire Moore in the sum of $IOO. in default of which he was placed in jail. Miss Arnold is pain fully bruised but not seriously injured. A whipping post would be more appro- priate than fine, in such cases.

selves with the old adage. that Boys will be boys"
 Let us stop heaping SO much abuse upon the boy and put it upon the parents where it rightfully belongs. There never was . boy yet who did not have good traits. and the right treatment will bring them out. Too often only the bad Is cultivated. while the good is not suffered to assert itself. With such training. such association. such home influence as so many have. can we wonder at the transformation that takes place. or be astonished that the beautiful babe becomes the brutal debauchee?
