washes it's hands Of the whole business.
lie saws. moreover. that the money which
Nashville has raised for this purpose will
be withheld; that Louisiana has raised
about 5000 for the Battle Abbey but
that IL has Withdrawn that sum from the
Board Of Trustees Of the Institute, and
refuses 10 make the donation; that after
the action mo Atlanta, Mississippi also
withdrew. and win keep within her bor-
ders any subscriptions now remaining
and will no longer have anything 10 do
with the institute.

that they had got their moneys worth.

He was compelled to respond to several
encOres. George l.. Dorsey followed with
several pleasing ballads. Then came Ed.

hit of the evening was the BijOu Quar-
tette. who followed with their own COM
edy creation, entitled "Jagg's Visit" The

situations, and closed with some Of the
best singing ever heard in Richmond. Sa-
die Mcdowell came next with her 1uve-

The climax was reached when Mcintyre
