ANEW HreisrnArioN rNnrcmMoNp

Inc Dispatch makes objection TO the
determination OF the Electoral Board OF
Richmond TO have a new registration of
voters before the November election.
The Electoral Board found good reasons
for determining to have new rcgistra-
ton. and we know enough OF tho subject
10 know that the reasons are entirely
sufficient ones. The registration books
are very old. they contain many names of
dead men and OF men who have moved
away from Richmond. and these names
improperly there. constitute a shelter for
fraudulent voting. There should he a
new registration so that none but real
and bona-fde voters may cast ballots
There will be great efforts made in the
coming campaign 10 persuade election
ofioers TO violate their sworn duty. and
preattcs frauds upon the franchise. But
A,su sttissn Il Virginia should begin now.

board the following statement was made
last night by Messrs. Lester and Alley,
respectively clerk and assistant clerk OF
the hotel:
willie Carter called at the hotel on
two occasions and requested a room. The
clerk in charge questioned him before
assigning him to O. room as to where lie
lived, and why he did not stay at home.
He explained that he was messenger boy
and lived at No. TT II street northwest;
that his mother had sent him 10 the hotel
for the night because she had company at
home and had no room for him.
The second time the boy stayed at the
hotel he requested the bell boy to serve
him with beer, which was promptly re-
fused by the bell boy. who reported the
fact TO the officer.
when Willie came last Sunday for a
room the chief clerk Informed him that
he could not allow him TO occupy room
any longer and he left. The fact that the
boy did not get beer can be clearly proven

Unconscious of the attention he was at

In show window was a life-size picture
OF the patron saint of the Emerald Isle.
Back of the picture sat son OF Erin
playing on harp. Pat stopped in front
of the window as the last sweet notes OF
the Exile of Erin were floating away.
Some one said, look at the dog. An
other said, OH he's only a common "yaller

sertion that he was an Irish terrier.

Henry ward Beecher settled in Lawrenc,

Henry Ward Beeeher settled in Lawrence
burg, Ind, in 1887. Atthat time he was
a minister of The Presbyterian faith In
1847 he accepted call from Plymouth
Church. In 1878 he announced that he
all punishment was remedial, and th2t no
greater cruelty could be imagined than the
continuance of suffering after all hope OF
reformation was gone. The cardinal idea
OF his creed was that Christianity is not
series of dogmas, PHILOSOPHERS or meta
physics but q rule of life in every phase.
In 1882 he and his congregation formally
withdrew from the association of the Con-
gregatiOnal Church on account OF this
belief. Mr.. Beecher's theology changed from
strict Calvanism, in which ne was edu-
Gated. TO disbelief in the existence of

-r HERE was quite sensation In the
House galleries yesterday when the
report went forth broadcast that an
other member had been added to the
list of those who are accused Of being
victims of the gum habit. This new recruit
was Judge Powers, who would probably
have been the last man to be guessed as
likely to become participant in the prac-
tice.
The judges classical features, severe ex-
preston and general Puritanistie aspect
have induced the belief that he would under
no circumstances look with favor upon any
of life's frivolities, much less become ad-
dicted to their indulgence.
Hence 1t was considered as passing be-
lief that Mr.. Powers convulsed the House
with laughter last Friday evening by max
ing humorous speech, and no W his affil-
iation with the gum-chewers comes as an
additional strain upon human credulity.
When Mr.. Crisp first fell a victim to the
insinuating seductiveness of gum it proved
a nine days wonder. The relaxation of
Judge Powers will probably excite the
comment of the observing for even q longer
period.
