Churches in Richmond are quite nume-
rous. In all there ara nlnety-one, In
cluding nearly every denomination known
In the Christian world. Baptlsts lead IN

Lutherans three, German Evangelical
one. Friends one. Swedenborgians one,
Christians four. Some of these buildings
are very fine. from an architectural
standpoint.
THE STREETS AND RESIDENCES.
The residence streets OF Richmond are
laid out on generous plan. being wide
and well paved. In the finer portions OF
the city there Is an almost entire ab-
sence Of disfiguring fences. Residences
are not crowded so closely together as
they are in some cities. Great care Is
taken with lawns. Shade-trees arc nu-
merous. The whole effect Is exceedingly
handsome. Architecture Is sufficiently
varied to present pleasing lack OF uni
formity. Many OF tho large houses built
early in the city's history are still
standing-squarc, solid, and comfortable
looking but far from beautiful There
arc many of tho newer residences. how
ever, that will compare favorably with
the best houses IN any American city.
With places OF entertainment. public
libraries. churches. charitable and benev-
olent organizations, and other institu-
tions that mark the culture and moral
sensibilities Of community. Richmond
IS well provided. 1t might. in fact. be
termed a thoroughly symmetrical city.
inasmuch as everything which goes TO
make metropolis is hero represented.
BANKS AND TOBACCO MARKET.
Turning TO the commercial side OF
Richmond's prosperity. we find that its
coal mines are growing in popularity.
and that the city is fast becoming an Inn
portant coal distributing point.

tory and civilization is what Is meant
by the conservatism that has been SO
often remarked as a prevailing character
istic OF the city. A false definition OF II
sometimes derides this conservatism as
slow and narrow. impervious to the In
fiuence OF progressive ideas. and exclu-
sive In social relations. How far such
a definition is away from the truth and
facts is well known by any one ac-
quainted with her social and civic charac.
ter. and especially with her recent de-
velopment and the progress OF to-day.
These achievements are conspicuous
proof that conservatism does not ex-
clude strenuous energy, and the sta
tistlcs of these achievements are but
partial measure OF an enterprise that will
bear favorable comparison with that OF
many other cities much vaunted of late
years for that quality.

residence or on visit, may find. II Of
eclectic disposition, most OF the usual
assortment OF modern society. to meet
his preference for association. But, after
all. the prevailing tone is one OF con-
servatism and refinement, that retains
the old characteristics OF simplicity and
heartiness-the old qualities that have
given 10 Virginia social life its reputa-
ton for genuine and sincere hospitality.
1t has ever been the pride Of Richmond,
and no idle assertion. that its social
life is founded on the best qualities OF
our common human nature, and that 1t
welcomes every element that may contri-
butte TO the general happiness and well

profusion OF hair dark and wavy. She
has given TO her SONS their slightly aquil

greatly on the miud of the princess, and
she Is said to have suffered especially
from the slights and intrigues of the
Spanish court during her husbands short

Both the late Duke OF Aosta and his
wife were much beloved In Turin, where
they entertained on q scale that was

Between the Duke or Aosta and his
