Cheaper Ga. for DanvilIe.

Danville, Va, March 20.-After much dis
cussion, at a lengthy session of the city
council the effort to reduce gas and water
rates was carried through The City Gas
Works, owned and operated by the city
will, beginning April l, furnish gas to con-
sumers at 81 per thousand cubic feet, with
discount of 25 per cent on all gas bills
paid on or before the fifth day of eact
month, thus practically making the price
of gas in Danville IS cents per thousand. Al
the same meeting of the council, the water
rate to consumers was reduced 80 per cent
The city also owns the waterwors and ha.
been enabled to make these marked reduc-
tions by the exercise of rigid economy in
the management of it's works.

A MINUTES SOCIAL CHAT.

st. Joseph, the patron saint of the Home
for the Aged, was honored today. as is usu
al, on his annual feast day by the Little
Sisters of the Poor who gave gala dinner
to the intimates of the Home, being aided
in their kindly task by many prominent
maids and matrons and number of repre-
sentatives of the Diplomatic Corps The
Home, eXquisitely neat and airy, was
abloom with spring flowers, roses and Eas-
ter lilies that decorated the shrines of the
Virgin throughout the various dormitories
and halls, the chapel and sanctuary. and
the white statue of ST. Joseph, which was
embowered in blossoms and ferns. There
are several hundred men and women
in the Home including white and colored,
all of whom are at least sixty years old
Each sex and color has its separate dining
room and all four of them yesterday were
covered with snowy linen and decorated
down their lengths with fOwers-some
costly hothouse eXotics brought by the Wis
itors and others of bright tissue made
by the inmates themselves. Alternating
were pyramids of oranges, iced cakes and
candy and the menu consisted of all the
good things in the market at this season of
the year. AT 1890 o'clock the building
was thronged with society women, many of
whom protected their handsome toilets by
donning upon their arrival one of the big
white aprons which were distributed by the
Countess de Santo Thyrso and Miss Alice
Riggs. At the announcement of dinner the
ladies and many of the gentlemen present
were assigned to their duties in the various
dining-rooms where they assisted the little
whitecapped sisters in serving the dinner
which they had daintily prepared.
The Home for the Aged is under the di-
rection of the French order, The Little
Sisters of the Poor and the Washington
institution is special protege of the
French Ambassador, who is always pres
ent at the ST. Joseph dinner, with the
members of his official staff

scheme Widely Advertised.

The idea of establishing such an exhibit
originated with Mrs. Charlotte Smith.
OF this city, president of the League having
the exhibit in charge. More than year
ago she undertook the present work and
since that time has been in correspondence
with the governors of the various States
OF the Union, members of Congress, and
public men throughout the country con-
corning the project. BY this means the
objects and plans of the exhibit have be-
come known in many parts OF the United
States.
The proposition has met with general ia
yor and the circular contains facsimile let
ters from large number of prominent men
expressing their entire appreciation of the
work and promising their best efforts to-
ward placing the exhibit on firm founda-
tion.
More than 5000 have been already con-
tributed toward the movement. A bill was
introduced in the last Congress by Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire, providing for
an appropriation of SIS, 900 for the eXhib-
it. Owing to the pressure of business to-
ward the close of the session when the bill
was introduced. it failed to pass, but it is
expected that favorable action will be ta-
ken during the early part of the next ses-
sion of Congress.

stiu Searching for the Admiral

Norfolk. Va, March 20.-The tugs Pom
eer and Asher j. Hudson towed into Chesa-
peake Bay Saturday the tank barge of the
lost mud dredge Admiral, which the Pion-
eer had picked up about twenty miles OF
the capes. it having broken adrift from
the Admiral. The barge was in fairly good
condition The finding of the barge sep
arate from the Admiral is thought to indi-
cate that the latter has gone down and
that the barge broke loose when the
dredge foundered. Search for the dredge
has not been abandoned, however.

League Headquarters.

1t is proposed to rent a suite of rooms
at the Arlington Hotel some time in the
immediate future and there establish the
headquarters of the League. An effort has
been made to secure a suitable building
where the exhibit can be held, but it is
now thought that as the movement is as
suming such proportions il will be neces-
sary TO erect a building for the exhibit.
II was thought that rented building
would be satisfactory for the first few
months but this idea has been abandoned
According TO present plans the exhibit
will be opened TO the public during the
Centennial Celebration of the removal of
The Capital to Washington. This idea
meets with general favor among the lead
ers of the movement as ii will aid mate
rally in bringing the matter more full y
before the country and arousing interest
in the aims and purposes of the exhibit.
