Reception to Father Gregory.

The reception rendered Rev. Father
Gregory, o. s.. B.. Friday night by the
members of st. Leo's Catholic Club and
their lady friends in honor Of his return
to Richmond as assistant pastor of St.
Mary's church was a most enjoyable af-
fair. The reception was held in the COW
cred space Immediately in the rear of the
.club-room, which had been handsomely
decorated with flags, bunting, and palms
for the occasion. The lights from a large
number of Chinese lanterns, most taste
fully arranged, shedding their soft rays,
added a highly beautiful effect to the
scene.
While no set programme had been
arranged, the committee in charge pro-
vided a most attractive and enjoyable
entertainment. The president of
the club, in a short, buA felicitous, little
speech, extended TO Father Gregory a
most hearty welcome on his return TO
Richmond. which was most happily re-
sponded TO by him. The rest of the pro-
gramme was well filled in by songs and
recitations by Mr.. John NJ. Ryall, Captain
Frank Cunningham, Hon. w. f. Reddy,
and Mr.. Eugene Davis.
Refreshments were then served, while
those present crowded around Father
Gregory, and individually expressed to
him their pleasure in again having him
in their midst.

JAKE WELLS IN COURT.

The Case Continued,

Mr.. Jake Wells, manager Of the Rich
mond baseball team. who was arrested
by Constable Garnett, of Henrico, on Fri
day, charged with giving a fireworks
exhibition without having a license there
for, was before Magistrate Larus yes
terday, but in the absence OF the Commits
sioner Of the Revenue. who swore out
the warrant. the case was continued until
next Friday.
The warrant for Mr.. Wells's arrest was
served on him at the ball park imme-
diately after the game Friday, and he
was taken before Magistrate Lewis, who
promptly bailed him in the sum OF $50
for his appearance before Squire Larus
yesterday morning. A warrant was also
sworn out for the arrest Of w. j. Con-
nors, the man who was interested with
Mr.. Wells in giving the show. Connors
had. however, left the city en- route for
Memphis, Tenn, before the warrant could
be served on him. and a descrip-
ton of him was telegraphed to Danville
in hopes that he might be apprehended
there. He left the train, though, at Ring
gold, and all trace OF him was lost.
Mr.. Wells's case was called yesterday
morning at u:i5 o'clock, and he not be-
ing present, his bail bond was forfeited.
He came into court at noon, having mis-
taken the hour, and the case was prompt

above.

VAUDEVILLE AT ITS BEST.

Successes at Mafn-St. This Week.
That promises, unless they are followed
by the giving Of what IS promised, had
fact which it takes no eloquence to i'm
press upon Richmond's amusement public
after last weeks convincing object lesson.
Knowing this, Manager Pizzini felt reluc-
tant to prematurely announce the strong
est bill Of the season, which he had PLAN
ned should hold his resorts boards this
| week, until BY a succession Of special and
singularly fortunate engagements he sue
ceeded in securing talent which made him
free TO throw aside all such reserve. -Four
of the attractions billed come direct from
| an especially successful run at Riyer-View
Park, Baltimore, and in a personal letter
received from the manager Of that resort
the latter unreservedly pronounces them
the best comedy entertainers Of his sea-
SON, and says their individual and collec-
tive successes were most marked, TIL
La Verd Sisters. too, come direct from a
phenomenal engagement at the American
~roof-garden, in New York city, where
their dance novelties were a star feature
and so much so as to make their booking
here particularly fortunate. Their forte is
buck and clog dancing, and they acknowl-
edge no superiors. The strong bill will,
however, find its head liners in Farrell
and Taylor, who enjoy the reputation
and receive the due remuneration Of be-
ing the greatest black-face comedy musi-
cal artists in the business. Another star
Of the bill will be Miss Margerie Mabelle,
the handsomest woman on the vaudeville
stage. who will appear in songs and
changes. Many Of the latter are truly
wonderful transitions, and are enhanced
by contributions from a seemingly eX-
haustless wardrobe. She combines beau
ty, a good voice, and an overlooking viva
city. all in one charming personality, and
her admirers. wherever she has appeared,
are legion. Mccarthy and Reynolds give
the best side. as Well as the most laugha-
BILE side. Of Irish character delineations,
i'm addition to their songs. dances, and
cross-walk talk. and Babe Moore has a
card in her singing and acrobatio dancing
speciality, which has linked her name with
the few who have made real successes, at
least, I'm the latter line. Her lance is the
most vimsome imaginable, and thoroughly
up-to-date, and She is as dainty and win
ming in 1t as she is pretty in face and
figure.

The war is over, peace has been de-
clared. and the country will be prosper
GUS as we'll as victorious. That great
arm Of the commercial world, the Travel
lers' Protective Association, is preparing
to give it's substantial aid and powerful
influence in building up the commerce
and trade of the United States, through
it's working committees, and Post A, OF
Richmond, has already started the good
work.
The substitute for the TORY bankrupt
bill has passed Congress. The Travellers
Protective Associations were instrumental
in getting his bill through, and Colonel
John S. Harwood, chairman of the Ma
tional Legislative Committee, made seye-
raj trips to Washington in its interest.
The power Of the Travellers Protective
Association has been felt in all the chan
nels of trade. in the improved service at
hotels, on railways, and in creating a
higher standard Of manhood. usefulness.
and gentility among the fraternity.
These are net all the benefits, but enough
TO enlist in the ranks as willing workers
every member, every tobber, and manu-
featuring firm in the land TO the end that
these benefits may be enhanced every
year. Every member should do his duty
in bringing in one or more members.
Overwhelming numbers means over
whelming strength in every organization.
Charity, that mantle which covers a
multitude Of sins" is one Of Gods at
tributes among the commercial travel
lers. They do not forget those cast down
in despair, nor turn a deaf ear toward the
widow and orphan in distress. They try
10 do what they can, that their own Will
not suffer likewise.
Mrs. Chew Ming, the wife OF the late
Robert T. Chewing, a T.. p. a.. OF Vir-
