MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10 1901

A COMPANY Ia now being organ'zeu
In Richmond to be called the k'onmono
Industrial Company. IT'S object Is 10
develop the manufacturing interests Oh
Richmond. For this purpose those IN
terested have purchased land opposite
the ower-house of the Virginia Elec-
trical and Railway Development Com
pany from Henry Lee Valentine. The
building is to be modern In every par
ticular. The idea Of the originators ID
to rent floor space to tenants and to FUR
nish with the floor space light, heat and
mower. One main line of shafting Will
ruu down each floor, and all the tenant
will have to do will be to move into
the building and attach bis belt to the
main line of shaftipg. In this way IL
will be possible for man to start an
industry by paying reasonable rental
and without having to go to the ex'
pense OF buying land or building
motors. The same general plan has
been carried out 10 Springfield, Mass
and Worcester, Mass, and has been O
prominent factor In building up the To-
dus.rial features OF these cities. Some
of the organizers recently made trip
through New England, visiting similar
places. They found in Springfield the
Elisha Margon Power Company, which
started with one building within the
last ten years and now covered four
city blocks. The members OF the Busl'
ness Mems League OF Alexandria have
recently brought this idea to the at
tention of the people Of this city ss the
most feasible and likely plan BY which
to build up manufactures here. That
this course is thoroughly practical is
proven by the object lesson which Can
be seen at any time In the old Green
factory, where several industries are
located. There are number OF buildings
In Alexandria which could be fitted up
for the purposes described above, while
there are many eligible sites on which
structures similar TO that proposed 10
Richmond could be located.

THE CAsTELLANEs REFUSED ADMIT
TANCE TO A CHURCH.-Attired in gor-
geous bicycle costumes, Count and
Countess Castellane sought entrance to
", and we're stopped by the sexton.
Count Boni wore a scarlet sweater,
black breeches, gorgeously varisgated
socks and bicycling cap that fairly
shrieked. The countess wore black
sailor hat, red sweater OF more sub
dued tone than that of the count, q
black short skirt and black stockings
and shoes. Three other couples, sris-
tocrats and members OF the Castellane
party, were also barred for the same
reason. The count was furious. He
protested shrilly at the top OF his voice
for 20 minutes, but the sexton was
firm. AT last the count and countess
went to the palace OF the bishop to
seek permission from him to enter the
cathedral in their outre toys. In re-
spouse to the card and request OF
Count CastellaDe the bishop sent word
that he could see no reason why the
sexton should be overriden. Then the
count proclaimed that he would COM
plain to the minister of public worship
10 parliament, demanding that the
bishop be censured. Count Castellsne,
his wife and his four guests started
Tuesday from the Chateau de Marsis,
the Csstellane estate near Dourdan,
with the intention OF taking leisurely
tour through Normandy.

PROFESSOR METsCNIKoFF, OF the
Pasteur Institute, last week delivered
o sensational lecture upon some recent
operations 10 Paris hospital, 10 which
he asserted that the large intestine is
not only entirely useless but positively
harmful. He said that observation
had demonstrated that no less than 40
spices OF dangerous microbes were
there domiciled, and that to them most
of our diseases were due. Now ell &C
knowledge that man is fearfully and
wonderfully made, but there are few
who will admit that there is any par
ticular part of the human body that Ia
useless or has not some function to per-
form and Professor Metscnikof will
have q difficult task 10 convincing
people after all these years that II
would be best to have their large IN
tsstine removed lest it furnish domi'
cile for dangerous microbes.

presses himself In favor of third term
