THE INVESTMENT SEASON.
The Fine Record of the Building and Loan
system.

The record Of the building and loan
associations Of Richmond Is a healthy.
clean and notable one. They have stood
the strain of the financial depression
magnifcently, and now constitute one OF
the great foundation stones OF the city's
solidity.
Among these associations one which
has forced itself to the forefront ty good
management, economical administration,
and cautious but intelligent handling OF
its investment fund, Is the Commerclai

seven local boards. All the business,
however, is under the immediate scrutiny
OF the home office at 500 east Main street
and all investments are made from the
home Office after a searching investiga-
ton as to the solidity Of the security.
The principle is to keep no money idle,
but turn il over for the benefit of the
stockholders as rapidly as Is consistent

At this season, when dividends are COM

CONCERNING SECRET SOCIETIES.
Statement from Mgr. satoiii Touching tho
Decree Recently Made.

WASHINGTON. December Allowing to
mlsapprehension caused by the publication
of statements that the decree concerning
secret societies was not final. and was
submitted to the bishops IN order to Sc
cure from them their opinions thereon,
Monsfgnor Satolli authorizes the following
brief statement OF the facts to set az rest
the misapprehension and possible misrsp-
resentation:
1.-THE archbishops OF the United States
have taken codnsel with respect TO three
societies-namely. the odd-FeIlows. the
Sons of Temperance and the knights OF
Pythas. The archbishops decided that
the whole question should be submitted
to the Apostolic See. In n communication
from his Eminence, r. Cardinal Monaco,
to Monsignor Satolli. the action of the
General Congregation OF Cardinals. to
whom his Holiness committed the ques-
ton, IL made known. The congregation.
after considering the matter carefully.
made a decree. This decree fully con-
firmed and gave II complete effect. The
decree Is therefore transmitted 10 all arch
bishops and bishops. TO be carried into
effect. Monsignor Satoli has acted merely
az the medium of transmission. But In
view Of contradictory and confusing re-
ports emanating from various parts Of the
country. the facts are thus briefly stated.

The "SiowaWaY Last Might.

Before predominating and cachinna-
ting gallery contingent THE Stowaway"
dragged its weary way along through
five acts at the Theatre last night. The
melodrama Is an extravagant tumble of
old motives and situations. The story is
of mediocre interest, and Is developed
with no great skill: one fails utterly to
find In II that physical thrill Of sympathy
or horror which really clever melodrama
IS capable of producing The poor actors
are weighted down with the most pom,
derous speeches TO deliver. on which they
are obliged to concentrate all their efforts,
and they unload one after another of
them much as one would drop a keg of
nails from the shoulder, and with about
the same result-a sensation of relief on
the part OF the actor, n good deal of rat
Ting and laundering ,sound when II
strikes. Mr.. Harry Booker Is the star
OF the company. All doubts as to his
being a genius are set at rest by his
"Dicky Dlals," which is emphaticall,
commonplace The actors seemed to vie
with each other as to who could shout
the loudest. The effect was extremely
distressing. Matinee and evening per-
