CHINATOWN REEKING
WITH VICE AND SIN

Rev. w. f. Dugan, in a prelude to his
sermon at the Stewart Memorial Church.
Guerrero streets, last evening spoke on
Chinatown Iniquities." In part he said ::
Fair San Francisco, what glorious things NAV
be said of thee yet thou hast black spot in
the awful corruptions of Chinatown The sink
holes of vice and maelstroms of corruption in
this dark portion OF the city are vile almost
beyond the Imagination OF vicious devils There
in Chinatown about $50 iron gated prisons
where women and children are owned and con-
trolled many cattle
San Francisco is the only place on the face
of Gods great earth where there is an insti-
tuition every member of which must be the
owner of house of i'll fame. Nor in Hong
kong darkest India Africa or China do We
find such a vile firm organized for malicious
business but San Francisco has added this
crimson blot to her already bedraggled ban
of political crime and shame"
Can expect prosperity and Gods blessing
as long this heathenism reigns in our midst ?
The heathefism of the Filipino. In whose behalf
carrying on a great and expensive war
is not to be compared to the heathensm OF our
Chinatown God speed the day when Il shall
be wiped from the glorious sunset city.

Normal SCHOOL Improvement.

AT the meeting Of the Executive
Committee Of the State Female Nor
nal School, held last week, il was de-
termlned that the Board Of Trustees
would buy the property known "a the
"Richardsonp house, for the uses and
! purposes of the school. This determi-
nation was arrived at, however. con-
ditlonally; that was, provided the town
OF Farmville would donate to the
school the street lying between the
school and the Richardson property,
so that the whole could be brought
within one enclosure.
\ large petition of citizens was pre-
sented to the council at a called meet
ing held on Friday last, asking that
the street be given TO the school, and
the council passed the following pre-
amble and resolution:
Whereas, the State Female Normal
School, Of Virginia, will probably be
the owner of all the land abutting upon
so much Of Spruce street as lies between
High and Chambers streets, and.
whereas, il is to the advantage of the
said State Female Normal School to
have its property in one continuous
block, and the council believing it to
be the general interest Of the town to
close and vacate the said street so that
the same may revert to and become the
property of the said State Female Nor
NAL School, therefore be it
"RcsoiUed, That w. T. Blanton,
mayor, who is hereby appointed acom-
mittee for the purpose, be and he is
hereby authorized to have prepared a
proper bill to be presented to the next |
session Of the General Assembly to
have said street closed, vacated and do
mated to the said State Female Normal
school so long As the said property
may be used for the said school,"
There was not dissenting voice to
the adoption Of the above resolution.

with larceny. He was arrested 10y

him with the theft of a lot of wearing
apparel belonging TO one of the Cen

Mr. O'Gara also lost very fine gold

that the young Doctor an, account of
whose actions is published elsewhere

his possession when arrested at Pros
