Mr. Leo Kamm. an inventive Eng

instrument which Is practically a CON-
blnation Of typewriter and telegraph.
The whole Is mounted on a bicycle. on
which Is carried coil OF wire with
which connections are made by means
o. an earth rod. used to complete the

pounds. Five miles Of wire are carried.
Each mile Of wire weighs ten pounda.

end OF the wire. The line can be op-

extraordinary. Richmond and the raii-
roads must demonstrate to the surround

strength OF a great city Is felt and real
ized, II spreads and penetrates the entire
country quickens commerce, awakens
life. and produces energy in the most
rural districts.
'"The associations aim Is not only to
build up a greater trade for our city, but
TO build up and develop Virginia. de-
clared the President. What greater
power to undertake so great work than
Richmond? DO not ell great movements
emanate from great cities, where great
cooperation Is possible and great capital
available? Let the businessmen OF Rich
mond make the influence and strength OF
Richmond felt In and throughout our
State, and our strength will react and re-
fleet, will awaken new life and new
energy everywhere; 1t will be as great
a benefit to those who come to Richmond
as II will be TO our city.
UNDERTAKING OF MAGNITUDE.
'The association fully realizes the mag
nitude of this great undertaking, and
also realizes the great results to be OBJ
tanned If the object for which 1t was
formed Is successfully carried out. The
association so far has met with prompt
response from many representative busi-
ness firms, and has the hearty endorsa-
ton Of the entire city press, and 1t is the
hope OF the association that no business
man-no matter how large or small his
business may be, for 1t is neither so
small or 50 large that he does not desire
to increase twill turn deaf ear TO the
appeal Of the association to join In the
work and contribute to the general fund
such an amount as he feels able to give,
so that the association will be able on
the 7th of April. when the first Of the
grand series OF excursions will be run TO
our city, TO demonstrate that by hearty
cooperation these excursions can be made
self-sustaining and of great benefit both
to Richmond and the country people"
FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.
When Vice-President /. II. Kaufman, Of
kaufman q Co., was seen, he promptly
said: ITO my way OF thinking, this move
ment now being pushed for the develop
ment OF Richmond trade is the most
noteworthy and commendable that has
taken place in our business circles for
some time. This association is not or
ganized for the benefit OF any one dis
tinct line or class of merchants, but APP
peals to every businessman who has the
interest and prosperity Of our city at
heart, and, as one of its citizens, he Is
in duty bound to cooperate and lend
his aid to any enterprise that will re-
dound with credit to our merchants, from
which they have good reason 10 expect
substantial returns.

the vice-president, hopefully, "the strong
inducements Of an exceptionally low rate
