close manner in which the senior senator

s Sri may possibly be mistaken, but
it seems to me that you are just a little
bit too sensitive and .self-denying when
you say,14..We do not believe that General
Lees relatives or friends in Virginia
want anybody in the South to make such,
a suggestion,-that is, that General Lee
should be selected as one OF tthoseEt to oc-i
cupy a place In the proposed Temple of
Fame. q You further say, For our part
we think that Atlanta has been otis
ciousn-in making such sugges ton. AS 7

can people have been invited to express
their preferences and to vote on 1.-THE ques-,

lions Of persons, If you please. will be.
assembled, not in one place, to be ltsure.
but scattered through the whole United
States, and will declare who in their
Judgment are entitled to such distinction
The Committee of One Hundred will have

redemption of the world than any one
who has lived since the days of the per-
secution of the Christian Church.
Besides the four great names men
toned we have an innumerable host of
illustrious citizens scarcely below the
highest standard whom we can proudly

achievements are not eNcelled by any re-
corded In the history of the sworld.
The society in Atlanta is to be COM

Let everybody hasten to do likewise.
In the mean time, Mr. Editor, tell us. if

able one. I am curious ito know what

,wonK FOR RICHMOND WOMEN.

The city Of New York eNpends Si,OOo,oc0
a year for street cleaning The city OF
Chicago, which has. it is said greater
length of streets, expends less than one
seventh as much as New York SPENDS
per mile for that purpose. and less than
one-fourth as much per one thousand of
population. So says the Chicago Times
Herald. and it makes this the text for
timely article on street cleaning.
1t is a timely topic in Richmond as well.
The drainage of this city is almost per-
feet, and there is no difficulty whatever in
keeping our city absolutely clean If we
will only assist nature. Public cleanliness,
like private cleanliness. IS largely mat
ter of education and habit. AT one time
the people of this city We're In tine habit of
splitting on the sidewalks, giving the
streets filthy appearance and disgusting
all gerlteel people, especially women by
and by an ordinance was adopted imposing
a fine upon all persons VINO committed a
nuiscance of this character, and while
there was much kicking at first, the
people soon caught the spirit of the ordi-
nance, and almost instantaneously there
was a noted Improvement in the appear
ance of our sidewalks. But, better than
all, this little hi, of training has had
mos, wholesome effect. The thoughts of
the people have been turned to public
cleanliness, and public sentiment has been
improved a hundred per cent.
We need little more training Of the
same sort. There ought to be in the city
of Richmond a society whose object should
be to promote public cleanliness and public
ornamentation. We have referred to this
mere than once in previous articles. and
We refer to il again, urging the women
of the city TO take, the subject up. We
commend it to slhe Wonlan's Club of Rich
mond, which Is one of the most intelligent
and cnte1prising organiza lions In the city.
We do not say this in any spirit of fat
terry. The Woman's Club is composed of
representative women of the city, and
when they meet together once week
they do not spend their time in idle talk,
bnt In discussing questions OF public cons
Germ.
III seems to us that the Woman's Club
could do no greater work than to inaugu-
rate a movement In the interest of public
cleanliness and public ornamental ton.
