Shocking Sam.

Sam Jones. the preacher, says that
the women are continually cutting their
dresses lower at the top for the ballroom
and higher at the bottom for the bicy-
Gle, and he is becoming very much
alarmed az to just where this cutting
business will stop. The latest roast
takes the place of the old n on low
cut dresses where he speaks of attend
ing a society ball in Boston. A lady
asked him how they wore dresses.
Sam shocked her by saying that the
part of them he could see over the
table didn't have anything on, and he
was SO ratified he forgot to look under
the table. With an eminent Belgian
astronomer setting forth with scientific
certainty that the earth will collide
with a comet on Nov. 13, 1899, upon
which collision the earth will instantly
collapse, it is astonishing how some Of
our leading ministers drift from the
main point at issue and fool away their
time discussing woman's dress.

RANDOLPH LITERARY SOCIETY.
Meeting of Unusual Interest, With "a
Very Large Attendance

large audience. which alternately
smiled and applauded. attended the pub
/ lie exercises Of the Randolph Literary
Society last night and greatly enjoyed
two hours Of excellent oratory.
After the meeting had been called to
order by President Irving f. Campbell,
the Virginia Symphony Trio. under the
leadership of j. y. kaufman, rendered
some inspiring music and then the regu-
lar features Of the programme followed.
The Randolphians are all businessmen,
whose rough edges have been rubbed off
by contact with the world. and their
speeches last night were delightfully."-
lacking In those sophomore soarings
which generally make young orators
Quxotic and ridiculous.
Mr. Evan r. Chesterman read from his
newspaper writings two selections, which
were not designed 10 inspire melan-
choly. but 10 wiring a smile from those
who suffer from tyrannical women. His
audience seemed to appreciate the fact
that he Is not 10 be taken seriously when
discussing such subjects.
Perhaps the most delightful feature Of
the evening was Mr. Lee J. Crutchfeld's
Grafton on william OF Orange" II is
no idle hattery TO say that the address
was a mastery bit Of eloquence and
composition. The young orator-for ora
tor he truly is-though restricting him
self by unusual brevity, handled his sub
ject with marked force and ability. He
was terse, vigorous, graceful and. above
all. the master Of splendid English.
The question for debate was: Resolved
That poetry necessarily declines as civili-
cation advances"
President Campbell who had meanwhile
called Mr.. j. Kent Rawley TO the chair,
upheld the first affirmative. Mr.. Camp
bells speech. though fortified with the
choicest Of language, contained plea
SAINT vein of humor, which added to its
attractiveness.
lie was followed by Mr.. Glentworth
Hall, who manfuly battled for the mega
tive side of the question at issue, and
vigorously upheld his views Mr.. Hall
displayed a dignity in his bearing and
style which gave his opponents but lit
tie opportunity to ridicule or tear down
the views he advanced
MIR. John Gibson, the humOrist and ter
ror of the loquacious RandOlphians, re-
fused TO be sentimental In his remarks,
and spoke in a practical way, which COM
bined ridicule and satire with tremen-
dous ingredient of common-sense. His
speech sparkled and scintillated with a
wit which stretched the mouths Of his
from ear 10 ear, but made sorry
music for his opponents.
And last came Mr.. t. II. Courtney.
than whom few are better "argufiers" or
more ready debaters. His speech was. OF
all those delivered. the most logical and
and tinkled with the ring Of
genuine oratory.
When the debate was over the band !
seductively lead the audience from realms |
Of lofty thought into the sinuous. SER |
oentining meshes Of a cake-walk melody, |
and all was merry as wedding bell
After the music Mr. Thomas W. Gard |
Ter delivered the report OF himself and |
Nr. Jefferson Wallace. who, as judges.
lecreed that the negative gentlemen"
lad won the debate.
