DEEPEN THE JAMES.

VIDE THE MONEY THEREFOR.
IT'S IMPORTANCE 10 THE CITY.
Valuable Statement from the Sub
Committee Setting Forth the Adj
Vantagcs 10 Accrue from Improve

The subcommittee, consisting Of Messrs.
W. II. Curtis, y. II. Donahoe, f. c.
Ebel y. T. Mosby. /. d. Crenshaw.
Jr., e. II. Ferguson. and II. r. Ellyson.
appointed by the Committee on the Inn
provement Of James River. which. to-
gether with the City Engineer, is directed
TO secure facts and figures for making
the strongest presentation Of the claims
Of the James river Improvement for larger
appropriations at the next session Of
Congress. will have also 'he active aid
and cooperation in this movement. Of a
special committee created by the Cham
Der Of Commerce. consisting Of Messrs.
5. w. Travers, Thomas Atkinson, James
y. Boyd. John A. Curtis. L. b. Morris.
b. b. Munford, and Nirginius Newton.
Ii IS felt that while James river has
been greatly improved. the depth OF the
channel at low-water having been in
creased since 1870. at the shallowest
points from seven feet TO sixteen and
one half feet, thus fully demonstrating
the feasibility and Importance Of the
scheme. IL is, nevertheless. a fact that
the work has been greatly retarded owing
to inadequate appropriations made by the
General Government.
A COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.
This will be manifest by a comparison
Of its status with that of other important
river and harbor Improvements. Selecting

tages. especially IA connection with our
river and the facilities 1t affords
Mr.. FRY ON THE SUBJECT.
In a most interesting article quoted IN
the Marine Review. June ed. from the
Biue-B Book OF American Shipping. upon
the development OF American shipping
1t is stated that projects for extensive
river and harbor improvements nave hau
the support OF such able statesmen as
Mr.. Fry in the Senate and Chairman
Burton. Of the River and Harbor Soil-
mittee. In the House, and consequently
appropriations have been on a conhehu-
able scale OF liberality." IL uoes ho'
appear that the improvement OF James
river has yet come in for its fun snare
of these appropriations, and so II all the
more behooyes us to spare no EFFORT or
means OF having It's importance ana
merits recognized.
II may now be most aptly said OF the
neople OF Richmond in this connection:
",rhere is a tide in the affairs OF men
which. taken at the nood, leads on to
fortune; omitted. all the voyage OF their
life Is bound in shadows.
And we must take the current when IL
serves or lose our ventures
Therefore. the plans which Will be wen
considered and formulated by the com
mittees having this movement In view
should enlist the ardent support OF every
force and influence in this community

II will be surprise 10 many 10 know
that the new song, only a Private
which Mr.. Taylor Williams sang so eftec-
lively at the Auditorium last week, was
written and composed by two young men
of Richmond 1t is now being sung by
three of the best vaudeville singers IN
America and bids fair TO make quite a
popular hit. The words were written by
Mr. Henry c. Nicholas and the music was
composed by Professor Ernest Cosby. IL
is now being published by Boston house
and the first edition will be out IN a
few weeks. The song runs thus;
/ wandered through a cemetery great
Mid handsome tombs Of men OF state
All decked with fowery gems.
And as L wandered there alone,
L saw a gray-haired mother moan
Beside a lonely grave.
No flowers rare did deck 1t there,
No one but her did mourn,
The gay and laughing crowd passed py
And left her there alone.
