Richmond Orchestra and
Chorus.

Great interest is awakening over
town in the approaching concert of
the Richmond Orchestra and Chorus
on March 10, from the nature of the
program to be produced, which
will be one of the most pre-
tentious undertakings ever faced
by local talent, while the certainty
of its being well done is perfect The
orchestral selections will include the
Raymond overture, played here by
the Banda Rosa; the dances from
Henry VIII; On the Beautiful Rhine
waltzes by Leler Bella; and the
grand descriptive Columbus. The
latter is wonder in the wav
of musical attempt to tell story
of emotion. incident and nature
without the use of voices. 1t gives
the approach of the court
of the queen; the torch
light dances; the sorrow of parting; !;
life on the wave; the storm
at sea; the mutinv and
its quelling; the discovery
of America; the PRAYER of Thankful
fulness, with the voices of the In-
dians in the distance: closing with
Hail Columbi The chorus will
give the Erl King, and there is a
prospect for a cornet solo by Mr..
Butler

those in control of the trade to exact higher prices from the domestic consul mer Regardless of the cost of trans portation, American beef was selling in London yesterday at the same price as in New York, and ordinarily it is some what cheaper. In the last fiscal year we shipped to Europe three hundred and tifty-two million pounds of fresh beef valued at thirtytwo million dol lars, and four hundred and tifty-nine thousand cattle, valued at $37 O,OO0. Very nearly all of this beef, both dressed and lon the hoof, went to the United Kingdom, so that "Old Eng lands doast beef' is now very largely obtained from the Chicago packing house trust.

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Continued from First Page.) mayor. The first one was veto of the
 order passed for the payment of dam ages to Patrick RoWley for serious in-
 jury to his property by reason of the overflow of a sewer. The mayor stated
 ill his communication that he vetoed the order because it did not appear to him that the overflow was caused by any negligence on the part of the city.
 The veto message together with the original petitions were referred back to the claims committee It is said that
 unless this claim is allowed a suit will
 be instituted against the city
 Another veto was that of the order for the permanent pavement of Putnam street with crushed stone. The mayor explained in his accompanying com munication that the act creating the pavement commission provides that that commission shall decide upon the material to be used for paving after an order for paving shall have been pass ed by the common council. The mayor recommended that the order be put upon it's passage again with the
 
 intimated that he would approve such an order. The veto was accepted and the recommendation was adopted A veto of the order for the paving of Cedar street with crushed stone was for the same reason and the same course was taken as in the case of the Put nam street order.
 An order was passed, on recommen dation contained in communication from the city clerk, providing that the assessments for the pavements on Church street and Whitney avenue be- come payable July 1. 1902
 A communication was received from the bureau of compensation signed by Messrs Baldwin and Bishop of that bureau informing the board that an CT TOT had been made in placing an assess ment for a sewer in Sylvan avenue against the wrong man and asking that the report of assessments be so amend ed to secure the proper correction Al derman Miller said that a number of such requests to correct errors had been received from the bureau of compen- sation lately and he thought that the bureau should be requested not to make such mistakes. He moved that the city clerk be instructed to trans nit the request to the bureau of com- pensation and the motion passed. The correction asked for was then ordered as was also another concerning an as- sessment for the Hazel street sewer, which was read immediately after ward.
 An opinion was received from the corporation counsel on the matter of the court of common council receiving petitions Some time ago Anthony Car roll sent in some petitions which were not accepted on the ground that they had not been endorsed by any member of the common council MT. Carroll

demonstrated against this ruling and held that any citizen had a right to petition and have his petition accepted and considered. The corporation eoun- sel in his opinion goes deeply into the
 subject of the right of petition and quotes copiously from authority. In
 conclusion he states that in his opinion the action of the board in refusing to receive petitions not subject to legal process but that the nature of all petl- tions should be stated or described and then the petitions read if the members so desire.
 The recommendations of the claims
 committee were then read and ado9ted
 as were a number of minor recommen-
 dations from the street comittee, The
 recommended ordinance for the licens- ing of journeymen plumbers was re- committed to the ordinance committee together with the corporation counsels opinion thereon. There had been non concurrent action by the two boards on the proposed ordinance, The ordinance committed S recommendation of a set of rules for the new public wharf was adopted
 Alderman Corcoran presented a peti- tion for an electric light to be placed at the corner of Chapel and Gregson streets. He explained that lights main tained by merchants had been recently removed and that now the corner was dark and dangerous for pedestrians. He said that only Sunday night a lady fell there and was badly injured. Ie asked for unanimous consent for imme- diate consideration of the petition and it was granted, The city clerk was then instructed to draw up an order for suitable light to be placed on the corner,
 On recommendation of the water committee 1t was voted to direct the water company to furnish water free for school and fire purposes in the Thir- teenth Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards as provided for under the terms of the new water contract. The recommenda- tion of the committee on railroads and bridges that permission be granted to the Fair Haven and WestVille road to change the layout of tracks and curves at the corner of State and Chapel streets was adopted The board voted to adhere to it's previous action in pass ing the order for the sale of the West Rock Park land to l.. Wheeler Beecher and to insist that the councilmen ap- point a committee of conference.

THE "BEEF TRUST" AND TIT
 METHODS.


 The rise in the price of meat at the dictation of the big fiven brings the working of the trust principle right home to the masses.
 They don't perceive that they are di- rectly affected by the Copper trust or the Steel trust or transportation trusts like the attempted Northern Securities company. When the workingman or his wife, however, goes out with a slen- der purse to buy piece of beef and is compelled to pay the highest price ever known--or go without-well, there is an object lesson.
 As described in the Herald of yester- day, four or five large firms control practically the whole of the trade, which aggregates about six hundred million dollars a year. From the cat tie in the western stock yards to the distributing meat depots in this and other cities, they are masters of the sit- uation.
 The ranehman finds no competing buyers for his stock-there is the fixed price and he must take it. Controlling this vast business. the giant combine can "shop" among the railways and get rates that preclude any pigmy rivalry. When the products reach this city there is, if possible, still less opport unity for any competition. The Herald this morning tells of the central office through which all the firms in the conn bination fix common prices and arrange the credits to be extended to the com mission butchers and the retailers, managing the whole business as If con- trolled by one man.
 As a matter of fact, from the cattle upon the western ranch to the selling of beefsteak in a Sixth avenue shop these concerns have a monopoly. The local butchers in fact have become practically agents selling the trusts meats on commission. A few years ago, when a sharp squeeze in prices elicited a strong protest from the con sumers and dealers of New York, the combine threatened to open shops in every part of the city, retail it's pro ducts and drive the butchers out of ex- ist ence. Elsewhere, if we are not mis- taken, this was actually done At any rate the control of the supply at it's source gives this combination a terri ble power to enforce its terms and keep it's dealers in absolute subjection.
 With the cheapening of transporta- tion by land and sea and the improve ment of refrigerating facilities the markets of Europe have been opened to fresh meats from this country, and the demand thus increased, without cores bonding increase of supply enables

NEGRO VERSION OF ELIJAH AND
 RIAL,

D. Eldridge Monroe tells an interest ing story of the preaching of Nelson Bone, famous slave preacher in south ern Maryland many years ago. When Bone was to preach, white and colored people came from miles around One of Bones favorite characters was Blind Bartimeus, and rarely did he fail to in- troduce the prophet in his sermon,
 On the occasion of which MT. Monroe speaks Bone's subject was the power of prayer as shown by the triumph of Elijah and the discontinue of the prophets of Baal. He elabora tely por- trayed the futile efforts of the prophets of Baal to bring down fire on their al- tar "because," he said, 'dey was ene- mics of de true God and dere gods mounted to no mo dan crooked gum stick, De profits of Bal pra'd, an
 pra'd an pra'd, but dere was no fire not spec ob fire, an no roas meat wid all dere pra'in. Dey hadn't faith Dere pra'rs didn't mount on de wings ob de eagle on hieh--no, my bruthers an sisters, dey didn't reach knee-heh De Lo'd wasn't lisinin', and wasn't hearin' 'em I tell you my children Den dey give 1t up, an had to own up dat they was beat, all over bsat, an everlastin'ly confounded
 Den de children ob de Lo'd pra'd dat de fire an cooked meats might come down on dere altar. An dey pra'd, an pra'd, an pra'd but de Lo'd didn't an- swer. Dey couldn't pile in enough faith. Den de Profit 'Liiah, he pra'd an pra'd, an pred; still no fire an no meat. Lijah was mighty big prophet in his day, but no big enough to git de year ob de Lo'd widout faith; an 'Liiah had to give it up an go to sleep under
