An Animated Contest.

The Y. NJ. c. y. membership contes,
between the Blues" and the "Reds'' is
an animated one and no one need ba
surprised if open war should break ont
between the opposing factions. Last
night the Blues" provided themselves
with q blue light and placed II at the
mead of the stairway in the Y. NJ. G.
a. building. but In n few minutes il
mysterlously disappeared and n red
Hight was put in It's place. The red
light did not remain very long. for
that, too, disappeared. Then to get even
the Blues" took possession OF the
blackboard at the head OF the stairway
and covered it with announcements and
tips eXtolllnG th,, superiority of their
side. AS soon as the Reds" saw this

themselves with mammoth red light.
which they put under the board with
sign bearing this Inscription: "Hur

But the Blues" were not satisfied
Tor It was not many minutes before
their guns were trained for action. They
did not remove the big lamp. but simply
put out sign under 1t. reading. Dan

SOME POLITICAL DRIFT.
Very Qnict Yesterday Among All the
Factions

yesterday was an exceedingly quiet
DAY among the politicians of all parties
and about the only political subject dis
cusSed was The Nirginian's exclusive
story OF the secret conference OF the
Prohibition leaders at The Pilot Office.
saturday night. That meeting was dis
cussed. and discussed vigorously, not
only by Democrats and Republicans
but by the participants themselves, who
We're rather surprised at the publication
OF their names. Several of those pres-
ent were seen yesterday, but they were
dumb In fact. they seemed to think
that too much has already been said
about their efforts to answer the uues-
ton propounded by The Virginian last
Saturday. and which still remains unan-
swercd-
"Will the Prohibition party put q
ticket in the field or will the Prohibi-
tionisis support citizens ticket AT
the coming municipal clection?"
1t was said on the streets yesterday
that several OF the leaders Of the party
mad about lost confidence In their abil-
lily TO pull through the coming contest
ana would be glad of an opportunity tc
retlre gracefully. In fact. some OF
them have already declared to Vir,
politics any longer This, coupled with
the fact that these same gentlemen re
manned away from Saturday nights
meeting. gives good reason to bclicv,
that they are perfectly willing Ia be lcf
out i'll the coming battle. or that They
will get out while they can GRACEFUL,
do so. Ii is probable that TIE next few
days will develop something of inter
