Next To the sunlight of heaven Is the cheerful
face. 1t is the sunlight of home.

The approaching festival of the
Mardi Gras, in New Orleans, is
being eagerly looked forward to by
the members of the Norfolk Light
Artillery Blues.
AZ before stated in these columns,
the Blues are to attend the carnival
i'll body at the special invitation
of the "Household of Rex" and
they will be received with distin.
guisbed consideration. Some slight
change has been made IN their pro-
gramme. and rs it is now arranged,
they will leave here Friday night
the ODD, instead of Saturday. as
formerly contemplated. This is
done in order to avoid any pos
eibllity of failure to reach New
Orleans IN time for the military
demonstration on Monday the 25th.
According TO the schedule they will
arrive Sunday morning about S
O'Clock. They will be received by
the famous washington Artillery. "

tertained by them during the day.
Mondav is the only day upon which
they VIII be under absolute orders,
and the remainder of their stay can
be devoted to sight seeing.
Capt. Keeling is himself highly
enthusiastic over the trip. He con.
hdently expects TO carry fifty men
aud thinks the appearance of the
battery when on parade will do full
justice to Norfolk. The arrange.
ments with the Seaboard AIR Line
are about perfected, aud, as the men
travel III their own chartered Pull
man sleeper, they will have an en-
1oyable and comfortable trip. The

Mr.. B. 4. Richardson has lust
completed two attractive banners,
SAP feet each, to go on the Blues
train over the Seuboard Air Line.
Besides appropriate lettering the
banners have on them the coat of
arms of Virginia surrounded with
artillery emblems. They reflect

THE woNGo.DuKE CONTEST,
The Fight TO Take Place Tonight at
the Ariel Club.

The Fight 10 Take Place Tonight at
the Ariel Club.
The Wongo Duke glove fight will
take place to night under ths au.
spices of the Ariel Athletic Club. It
will be the shsrpest contest seen in
Norfolk since the Johnson Gibbons
fight, about year ago. Duke has
been training in Norfolk aud is in
the pink of condition. He will enter
the ring weighing about l40 pounds.
Duke feels that he will win.
The VIKGINIAN has received let
ter from Wongo saying he will
arrive in Norfolk to. day. He has
been residing about year in Phila.
delphis, and since he left has met
some of the best men of his class in
"bested" in any fight. He says that
during his course as fighter, he
has not been stopped but once, and
the man who put up the job was his
friend Charlie Johnson.
Wopgo says he is in better con
dition than ever before, has moro
experience and Is more expert. He
believes he will be able to put Duke
"to sleep" in a very fow rounds.
1t ls said that the police OF Nor
folk and the county authorities will
be on hand to see that no law Is
violated. Since the Duke. Smith
fight last week at the Norfolk Social
aud Athletic Club on Church street,
which was permitted, it is hardly
to be supposed that the police will
stop this bout. 1t is said that tho
Norfolk police will be present as
spectators only aud that Sheriff
Cromwell and his deputies will en-
force the law.

THE SNOW AND ICE,
TheiPeople Are Complaining. What
the Mayor Said.

TheiPeopie Are Complaining. What
the Mayor Said.
The rise in the temperature has
caused the snow and Ice to melt and
should there come warm rain the
streets IN many parts of the city
will be impossible. The V1RaINIAN
learned yesterday that certain oiti.
zens would call upon the Mayor and
charge that the Street Inspector
had been criminslly negligent; that
he had hung around the fire in the
Police Court, apparently an inter.
ested.spectator in ell that transpired,
to the neglect of his official duties.
A representative of The VIRGIN
IAN called on the Mayor and asked
if any such complaint from citizens
had been made, "No," said His
Honor, "but have been after him
for the past week. L also went
around to see the Clerk of the Mar
ket about the snow in that quarter.
MIR. Ashley said it was the duty of
the Street Inspector. told him no
matter whose duty the snow must be
removed"
Citizens are complaining that
they are required to remove the
snow from in front of their houses
under penalty of fine, while the city
allows snow to remain on the street
crossings till Providence comes to
the rescue of suffering humanity and
removes the nuisance with sun and
and rain

Music bv tho Band In Africa.

A great crowd had collected, singing
open mouthed, and led by a man with a
drum about four feet high, on the top of
which was stretched piece OF skin about
q foot in diameter. He hit this near the
edge with the palm of his hand near the
wrist producing comparatively deep
note, and with his fingers in the middle to
produce higher note. He always thumped
it in three time-low note once, high note
twice-with unvarying regularity and
with absolute indifference as to whether
the crowd around him were singing in
four time or three. The singing was much
of the character we had heard before, only
here the tenors and BASES were more or
less separated into groups, and at times
the singing was in parts, like catch, diff
ferent people coming in at different times.
Sometimes there would be solos. with the
chorus singing a word or two at intervals,
and regular chorus at the end OF each
verse-if verse it could be called when the
same words were repeated each time.-Na-
tional Review.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEy.

The Slater Jordan ease was continued
yesterday. Jordan testified that at the
date of the alleged fraudulent convey
ance Slater was owing him for wages as
clerk a little over $50; that Slater pro-
posed to give him bill Of sale of every
thing there If he would call it square;
that he had been pressing Slater for pay
ment for sometime. Jordan agreed to 1t
and the conveyance was made by Law
yer Anthoine; that although the book,
accounts footed up between three and
four hundred dollars, they were practi-
cally worthless. A grocer..in the neigh.
borhood testified that he knew most Of
the. parties and none Of the accounts could
be collected by attachment, for the parties
had no attachable property. Jordan also
put in testimony that the stock of goods
wash worth over fifty dollars; that it
was a little six by nine store and never
had under Slater much Of stock any
way. Jordan said that If hen reckonedDhis
time as worth anything he had not got
moreIthan his debt out of the property
and his expenses. He denied that in
taking this conveyance he had any de-
sign other than to get his own pay.
The jury were out but short time
and returned with verdict of not
guilty. sac.

The Man Who Sings.

Give us, oh, give US, writes Carlyle, the
man who sings at his work Be his occu-
patton what it may, he is superior to those
who follow the same pursuit in silent sui
lenness. He will do more in the same
time, he will do it better, he will persevere
longer One is scarcely sensible OF fatigue
while one marches to music. The very
stars are said to make harmony as they
revolve in their spheres. Wondrous Is the
strength of cheerfulness; altogether past
calculation are it's powers of endurance.
Efforts, to be permanently useful, must lie
uniformly joyous, spirit all sunshine,
peaceful from very gladness, beautiful be-
cause bright.
