Polling the Convention.

The Richmond Times of yesterday pub
lished a poll of the convention on the
question of proclamation or submission Ct
the new Constitution, with the result that
thirty-sevcn members expressed them
selves in favor Of submitting The mat
ter to the present electorate, twents,-
three favored proclamation, thirteen de-
clared in favor of submission to an
abridged electorate and twelve were not
recorded, several of the latter declining
to talk for publication. Were The Public
Ledger to have its preference in the MAJ
ter. the question of adoption would he
submitted to the electorate that will be
qualified under 1t. but we should not be
surprised to see the new instrument pro-
claimed, as public sentiment in the State
appears to be crystalizing in that direc-
ton. The Constitution that has beer
framed with so much care and labor is
an up to-date instrument and deserves
.the support Of every man who desires to
See the Commonwealth start upon a new
era OF progress, economy and improved
Norfolk Ledger.

TO THE DIRECTORS.
Street Car Men Make Request for Nine
Hour Day.

The petition of the street car men for
a nine-hour day was presented to Gen
eral Manager Dimmoclz, Of the Passenge.
and Power Company, yesterday morning,
and was referred to the Board of Direc-
tors by which it will be considered
shortly
The meeting between the men and the
General Manager was perfectly pleasant
and was effective in it's object. The petit
ton was formally presented and was re-
ferred to the Board, the matter stating
Mr.. Dimmock being of too great magni-
tude for his individual transaction. No
time has been set for the meeting of the
Board but it will be held very shortly.
Mr.. Dimmock is Of opinion that the u
hour system is best for Richmond, and
plainly told the men so. He thinks that
the conditions here are eminently better
fitted for that plan than for the nine
hour day.

NORFOLK,S KINDERGARTEN.

The Norfolk Landmark reproduces ar
extract from the excellent article which
Miss Alice NJ. Parker contributed to The
Times on the kindergarten, and adds:
Norfolk fell into line before Balti-
more did, presumptuous as it seemed to
some for this city to undertake to get
ahead Of the Maryland metropolis AS
result of the phlantllropic efforts Of the
Norfolk kindergarten Association, which
supported a free kindergarten for some
time as an object lesson, the Councils of
Norfolk now maintain kindergarten as
a part OF the public school system of the
city The beginning is modest, to be sure,
but substantial Richmond. like Balti-
more will have to acknowledge the lead
of Norfolk in this respect.
We have already had occasion to refer
to Norfolk's lead in this great work, and
we make our best bow to the noble
women of that city who put Norfolk IN
the lead. There are noble women IN
Richmond who are working to the same
end, and they will succeed by and by

A special from Newport News says:
The School Board has adopted reso-
luton requiring a continuance OF the GUS
tom Of having the Lords Prayer repeat
cd at the opening of the public schools
daily.
E. Graft, the Hebrew member OF the
board, stated that there had never been
any objection on the part OF the parents
OF the Hebrew children to the prayer ana
that the protest recently made was With
out authority The Hebrew children are
not obliged to repeat the prayer.
We should like to know whether or not
any of the children are compelled to re-
peat the prayer.
The Progressive Farmer Of North Caro-
lima says:
The newspapers of the State can do no
better work for themselves and their
people than by encouraging the estap-
lishnent of rural school libraries.
That is excellent advice and it is
sign of the times. The cause of popular
education is gaining ground

Good Advice.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from Dyspep-
STA and Liver Complaint. More than
as per cent of the people in the United
States are afflicted with these two dis
eases and their effects: such as Sour
Stomach, Sick Headache. Habitual
Costiveness. Palpitation of the Heart,
Heartburn, Water-brash. Gnawing
and Burning Pains at the Pit of the
Stomach, Yellow Skin, Coated Tongue
and Disagreeable Taste in the Mouth,
Coming up of Food after E~eating, Low
Spirits. etc. Go to your Druggist and
get a bottle of August Flower for IS
cents. Two doses will relieve you. Try
it. Get Green's Special Almanac.

Siberian Mining Claims.

The expense of locating and patent
ing claims in the Ural and in Siberia
is very little, says the Engineering
Magazine. The size of the claims be-
ing optional with the locator, up to
$50 acres, he rarely finds it of advan-
tage to include more than 200 acres
within his lines. The average cost OF
locating and patenting such a claim,
including all field and camp expenses,
will not exceed $125. Particularly
noteworthy throughout the mining
code is the effort to give perfect title
and to prevent litigation. All loca-
lions, must be patented within two
years, and no title or assessment work
is required. All of the court decisions
under the mining code shows the pre-
cedent hat failure to comply with
the unimportant and purely formal
te~chnicalities of the law does not in
terfere with a mans title. TO those
who have mined in other parts OF the
world, perhaps the most striking fea-
ture is the large amount of land that
can be located in a single claim. This
liberality has, as a matter OF fact,
been the chief obstacle to the. pro-
gress of Russian mining, as it las en-
abled unprogressive men to hold large
tracts of valuable mineral land with
out being obliged to do assessment
work thereon.

to preach. SO, after studying his

it, He made complete failure.
On his way home he met on of his
neighbors, who asked; "Where
.have YOU been2' He replied
'"To fill my appointment" The
neighbor asked "What appoint
mentY' He said; "Why, didn't
you know that had been t.
preach2" Then he told him that
three nights in succession he had
seen the letters G.. p. c. on the
wall, and he could not make any
thing else ont of it but $50 Preach

Dor, "it did not mean that at all.
