Christ's Sympathy.

1t is absurd to suppose that a man
who has always been well can sym
pathize with those who are sick, or
that one who has always been hon
ored can appreciate the sorrow OF
those who are despised. or that one who
has been born to great fortune can
understand the distress and the straits
of those who are destitute. The fact
that Christ himself took the vinegar
makes him able to sympathize today
and forever with all those whose cup is
filled with the sharp acids of this life
He took the vinegarl

only by hard work that we won our

but we worked hand in hand, and TO
my great surprise, when the vote was
taken, Itichmond was on top"
The association will have between
six hundred and a thousand delegates

With the prestige Of success achieved

1.-THE strongest companies on the road,
and with several added features which
make the play even more diverting

most clever character actors on the
American stage, succeeds Louis Mann

bright vivacious actress, plays the part

both these artists to be superior to the

In the Movement to Secure the
Olympia and White Squadron.
TO MEET EARLY THIS WEEK
The Special Committee of the Business
Mems Association will Prepare Reso-
buttons. Next Meeting Of tho b.
NJ. A. Other CIties.

The Business Mems Association will
not meet again until the evening Of the
second Monday in October. Tt was an
nounced that the meeting would be held
tomorrow. but this was 4 mistake.
Inc special committee appointed by
the association to endeavor to secure
the attendance in Hampton Roads OF
the Olympia and other ships Of the
'WiAte Squadron, after the arrival Of
Admiral Dewey. has full power to act
within it's discretion. 1t has been prac-
tically' decided that the committee will
go to Washington as an individual
body, instead of doubling up with Nor
fork, which is trying to achieve the
same end. The trip to the national
capital will doubtless be made in 1
comparatively short time. for the ne
cessity of haste is realized. It is
thoroughly understood that lit will be
dangerous to wait until other cities
along the coast secure promises. After
New York. Hampton Roads has the
best claim to the squadron. and it hard
~ appears reasonable to believe tina
the efforts that are being made to get
it here will fail.
Norfolk and Richmond are doing all
in their power to bring the ships here.
and their efforts combined With those
of on this side of THE Roads should
have powerful influence With the de-
partment, where, really. no other influ-
ence should be needed than a sense
OF what is due this section. M
The people here Will be satisfied to
get the Olympia and as many ships Of
the squadron as can come. They are
not asking for Dewey or Mckinley, re
alizing that it will be impossible for
either to come. The Norfolk people
are asking for both, and will probably
get neither It is certain. at any rate
that the Admiral will object to being
putt on exhibition at a county fair
alongside of Eorfolk's largest pumpkins
and finest fancy quilts. This seems 20
be one OF the objects OF the request.
The local committee have not as set
gotten together 1t will probably hold
meeting early this week and draft
suitable resolutions. ST..

This will be more easily seen when
the next assessment is made, which
Will be done in 1900 When this is done
the revenues of the city will be in
creased by at least as much more as
they now amount to.
1T has been stated that the assessed
valuation of property here will jump
from Its present figure of something
over s3,OOo,0OO to about $4,000, 900. 1t is
not believed, however. that the amount
