ANOTHER on POLK MILLER.
How the Ticket Agent at Lynehburg Treat
ed the niA eclician.

There is, perhaps, no man who knocks
about this country on business or plea
sure trips who has more varied and
unique experiences than Polk Miller, the
well known negro delineator. Mr.. Miller
is a companlonable socaOle fellow, ana
he somehow gets acquainted with pretty
much everybody humping elbows with
him on his lecture tours. The latest
ACQUISITION to his list OF unique eXpe-
riences was gathered on a railroad train
not far from Lynchburg, and II gave the
dialectician such a case OF the grlns that
YOU could have bought him at auction on
the first bid.
The funny part OF 1t was that there
wasn't any joke about 1t until after Mr..
Miller got back to Richmond, and now
his friends have the laugh on him. 1t
all happened in this way Not long since
Mr.. Miller was out on lecturing tour
and while at the railroad station in
Lynchburg was in conversation with Sem
ator Hurt. Mr.. Miller stepped up 10 the
agents window, and Just at that moment
Senator Hurt called the attention OF Mr.
McGraw. who was in charge, and intro
duced the gentlemen. This is Polk MIL
Ter. Mr.. McGraw, the famous negro de-
lineator, whom you may have heard Of
why, OF course" said Mr.. McGraw;
many a time. POLK M.lleFt W ny, I've
been hearing about Polk Miller for the
past year or two.
few words were exchanged, Mr.. Mil
Ter told a plantation ioke. AID his train
came rumbling in. Give me a ticket
10 Christansburg, sad he. The change
was dropped into his pocket carelessly,
and a few minutes later the d.alectician
was comfortably settled behind his news
paper.
Tickets" yelled the conductor. enter
ing the car and soon he reached Mr..
Miller The conductor looked at the
paste-board, and then at the dialectlcian,
as though to say: You look like white
man" There was pause. Cant ride
in this car on that ticket said the con-
ductor
"Tne deuce. you say" replied Mr. NIL
Ter with evident surprise. What's the
matter with it?'
"N1hy. it's a second-class ticket" came
the reply, and forthwith Mr.. Miller
thought OF the ticket agent. HE must
have thought / was a negro delineator'
sure enough" mused the dialectician,
and then he paid the additional amount.
Several days after Mr.. Millsr's return
he kept very quiet on the subject. which
he didn't want TO leak out. But IL did,
and now you have II.

Hon. w. l.. Wilson VIII be Pre'ent ut the
University Alumni Banquet,

Much interest is being expressed at the
prospect Of having Hon. w. l.. Wilson,
Postmaster-Ge present at the an
nual banquet of the Richmond Chapter
of Alumni University of Virginia, April
nth. Mr.. Wyndham Meredith has re-
ceived a letter from him accepting the In
Vitation ~,
With characteristic modesty. Mr. VIII
son saws that he fears that he Will not
he able 10 make much Of a speech, as he
Is much pressed with business matters,
hut that he will do his best, under the
circumstances, 10 contribute his part to
the evenings enjoyment. His presence
will. of course, add great interest 10 the
occasion. and the banquet Will undoubt-
edly be the largest and most oriiiiaht
ever given by the Richmond Alumni.
Tickets are necessarily limited 10 10.
and one hundred have already been DIS
posed or So Tor the small number OF

INST served,
Amons tae other speakers will be Gov
ernor OFerrall, Captain W. Gordon Nc
Cabe. of Petersburg. and Prof. w. X.
Abbott, of Bellevue High School. Pro-
fessor Abbott Is regarded as one Of the
wittiest after-dinner speakers in the
State, and the abilities of the Governor
and Captain McCabe in this direction are
too we'll known TO need commentator.
Professor William j.. Peters, OF the Uni
yersity. is also expected TO respond 10 a
toast which will probably be College
Athletics. One or two other distinguish
ed speakers are expected, but their names
will not be announced until they have
formally accepted.

CALIFORNIA GROWING.

The San Francisco Chronicle dis
courses in a rather heartless manner
the "orange situation" with especial
reference to the part Florida does not
play in the market this season.
The Chronicle thinks there is no &C.
casion for any special outburst Of grief
or sentimentalism over Florida and her
condition. Because California "ls more
favorably situated for the production of
oranges than Florida" is no reason why
California "should sit in sackcloth and
ashes over Florida's failure"
Like the man in the story Florida can
say nothing at present, bnt will ''saw
wood" In few years, when the peo-
pie of the United States have tired of
the so-called oranges furnished by Cali
fornia during our hiatus from the mar
ket they will welcome our triumphal
temperance in the arena with cries of
pleasure and open pocket books. Of
course they will buy California fruit now
because they can't get Floridas. Cal
ifornia had best make the most of her
present opportunities. When Florida
enters the field again she will have to
take her insipid oranges to the back seat
she has always occupied when Florida
was her competitor.
