size of tho entire city of Richmond, must
depend upon Richmond's generosity OF
convenience. 1t may be true that for
the present the proposed plan may yield
something less in taxes, licenses. etc,
than the proposed annual outlay for three
years, bat when you remember that
new assessment upon the basis OF Rich
lnond 6 assessments, must be made in
1865, with power ut the end Of every five
ycarE IL increase ut pleasure, and that the
city tax rate of S1.40 on the 500 must
apply in 1897, 1t will be readily seen that
Rtchmonds annual income from the an

times the sum she proposes to spend an
nually in improvements for the limited

we should look well to Richmond's ability,

that Richmond lad on hand from last

OF furnishing better water and the cost
of adding to the Fire Department. and
you have only q. partial list Of Richmond's
present needs. What does the unexpended
balance amount to? 1t is like owning
dime and lacking food and raiment. What
can we reasonably hope for from Rich
mond, save a fraction of our OWL money?
and a small fraction 1t must be, while the
custom prevails Of dividing the money
among the wards for distribution The
CITY of Richmond will at once have the
right to issue about one million dollars

lice Singers.


The Baseau4 takes great delight In
-presentiagthis splendid Company for
their second season. Each and every
member .af the Company is an old
time Jubilee Singer, and for the most
part they have been selected from sue
cessful companies now on the road.
This season we present a soprano Of
extreme merit and have otherwise
strengthened the Company, retaining
as many as possible of the old memb-
ers on account, of their excellent en-
semble work. 80 those pleased with
their work last season we promise a
greater treat the coming season. To
those who,haye never heard them we
assert that they are the superior of
any Jubilee conpany NOW on the road.
The great variety Of their work COM
mends them to al; the solo work of
Miss Palliam, Mr.. Charles Il. Downs
and Mr.. Arthur Fl. Payne; the male
quartette; the choruses, plantation
songs, and double; auartette work; the
Jubilee songs themselves, all make up
a high class, popular, enjoyable enter
tainment which is, wholly unnecessary
to reinforce with "coon songs, /" s'cake
walks" or minstrel effects. 1t is suit
able for any audience in hall, church
or opera house. We ask your careful
consideration, and If you want a
Jubilee company please see to it that
you get the best-tlaat you get the

Minneapolis and blew out the gas
and lost his life. He was l6 years old.

limitations, - . rule, are accepted al
matter Of course. Few indeed are |
those who even aspire to overcome
them or realize that in the overcom-
ing, physicians bills will be saved, bet
ter health gained and sense Of ease
and freedom secured that makes life
joyous and we'll worth living.
The idea is extant among the
masses, that physical education, phy-
steal training; physical culture or by
whatsoever name it may be called is a
|superficiality, mere training for
prettiness, something to satisfy vanity.
What a mistake. Physical education
tends to grace and beauty: it is only
the natural result of following out
natures laws-God's lawsuit it,
has to do with health and vitality as
well.
Newspapers and magazines are full
of different systems of physical train
ing which can be taught by mail, but
no system is as, good as the training
given under competent teacher, be-
cause 1t is. just as easy to train incor-
reetly as it is to train correctly, and
the faithful teacher is quick to call
attention to a fault, whereas the
student without a teacher is liable to
take exercise Incorrectly and thereby
increase the evil he is trying to remedy.
The masses, men, women and child
rem, need physical education. Too
much attention has been given to the
cultivation of the mind to the neg
lect of the body. Stronger minds
with more vigorous thinking, will
come with stronger. bodies.
A teacher along these lines is now
available for this community. This
teacher is Miss Anne Rothwell Stew
art, of Chestertown, Ind, a student
of the Boston School of Expression
Curry who uses the system of that
school. 1t is a combination of the
Swedish and Delsarte movements
with deep breathing.
The above is part of a letter of in
formation sent out by the lady mem
toned above. She is filling an engage
ment in North Dakota with the
Womens' Christian Temperance UE-
ion, and will instruct classes of child
rem and adults in this important
branch of education. She is an able
instructor and is an enthusiastic en-
ponent of the system she teaches

town during December when the sub
ject may be more fully presented.

Is familiar and 1t Is unfortunate
that the necessity for being histor-
allyic correct should involve a dis
appointing denoument, from dra.
matte standpoint. The work OF
Howard Kyle and Florence Smyth
In the leading roles, was beyond
criticism, and of the most
charming bits of acting In the play
was their leave taking on the eve

territory but Blue was thrown out at
tempting to score This cast no damper
on Billie Smith. however. for he aimed
at center field fence and raped the ball
half way. Longley worked off one of his
choice hunts and the bags were all oc-
cupied. Halter swung hard but the ball
went high into left and was devoured by
Gleason. Lipp was held on third as an
attempt to score would have been danger
Gus. LaRocque warmed things up just
at this time with a drive over second
base, scoring Lipp and Smith. Brown
wanted a seat on the band wagon and
earned 1t by a beautiful hit into deep
left scoring Longley. Moss then retired
the side on a grounder. Sorber's hit and
an error added another run In the seventh
but the Barons reserved their heavy fire
for the ninth. In the last inning Halter
went out on a grounder to second. La
ROGUE caught an out curve on the end
of his bat and lined 1t safe to left.
Brown duplicated the hit, sending Dad
to third. Moss then drove one over sec
ond bag scoring LaRocque In the mean
time Brown cantered to third and as Sor-
Der struck out Moss stole second. Blue
anchored safely on Gilligan.s excusable
error and the. bases were full. Lipp
cracked out beauty to center field,
scoring Brown and Moss. Billie Smith
put on the finishing touches by sending
a hay mower into center, scoring Blue.
Longley flied out to Breitenstein and Bir-
mingham is happy.
