ton, and the dinner was served in the
banquet hall of the hotel.
A circular space of about fifty feet in
circumference in the center of the room
was converted into mammoth fernery
in which were embedded ore thousand
fronds. Huge crystal vases were group
ed about the plat and from them
countless pink roses and white lilacs
rose into pyramids three feet high
Around the outer edge of the vast and
unique centerpiece was built round
table with seats for the guests along its
outer edge, only the inner ring being
decorated with scroll of pink and
green orchids that very nearly mingled
with the ferns and flowers that rose
almost to the tables brim. Placed at
Intervals along the orchid line were
many branched silver candelabra, in
which burned pink candles under
shades of pink lace paper. The circu-
lar scheme of decoration was continued
by forfs wall formed of four hundred
palm trees that lowered to the ceiling
and entirely walled from view the cor
ners Of the room, leaving a ring of
space between the table and palms
barely large enough for the guests to
get comfortably 10 their places. The
ceiling was green with boughs of Ala

aisle between the palm trees that led
to the reception parlors and that show.

believe almost that fairy had touched
the big brownstone hotel with her
magic wand and transformed it into
South American jungle. The mirror
in the gold parlor, where the Secretary
and Mrs. Bliss received their guests,
was yelled with smilax and hundreds
of American beauty and bride roses
were massed at every point. In the
second reception room hedge of palm
and bay trees walled the musicians

The General Assembly should let
General Lees birthday alone. General
Jackson was great captain, and but
tor his death the Confederate cause
would probably have succeeded. But
General Lee is looked upon by the civ
ilized world as the representative OF
the Southern cause, and mis- birthday
will ever be remember and his mem
DRY cherished by every one who symps-
thizcs with that cause, aud particular
ly by those in his owD State. No honor
that could be paid to the memory OF
General Jackson would be too great,
but in doing so, the celebration of Ger
eral Lees birthday need not be inter-
fered With, especially by legislature,
some of the mem ers of which seem to
have no respect at all for the cause, the
defeat of which crushed the Generals
soul and hasteued his death.

hibilory duty upon almost all European

many has prohibited the importation of
a few of those of this country, but that
all the other European countries have
not placed an embargo upon all Amer
ican products. The women who tackled

ACCORDING to newspaper reports,
the co-education of the sexes has been
practically determined upon at Rict-
moud College. If this be so, the legis-
latiye recommendation that the States
interest in that college be disposed of,
and appropriations for its support be
stopped, should be adopted as soon as
possible. There is no doubt of the fact
that many Virginians have become
possessed of Yankee isms, but as the
large majority of the psople of the
State are not, the latter should not be
taxed to promote and support those
isms. People familiar with human ma
ture never found fault with the old
time Methodists for their custom OF
separating the sexes even in church.

The Locomotive Works at Provi-

throwing large number of workmen
out of employment. The Dingley tariff
bill is New England measure, was ir-
spired by the hope of profting that
section, at the expense of the South
and West, but it has proved a
veritsble boomerang to it, though all
other parts of the country have been
affected by it ipjuriously. Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island helped to pass
that bill. The particular workmen re-
ferred to may not feel as kindly dis
posed toward him now as they did
when he was advocating a high tariff
and opposing the restoration of silver
