Richmond in 1901.

The year 1901 was one of the most
prosperous years in the history of
Richmond. The statistics for 1900
made most gratifying exhibit of the
city's trade, but the reports for 1901
show a substantial increase from all
quarters. The capital employed in
1901 in the city's jobbing trade was
$40, 2S5, 600, an increase Of S2l2. 800
the sales amounted to 81, 375, 600, an
increase of 81, 73S, 300.
The statements of fourteen banks,
exclusive of the trust companies,
show that deposits increased from
s16, 100, 374 to SIS, 199, ,419, being an in
crease of more than S2.000.000 in a
single year. Including the trust COM
panies the total deposits are 519, 725,
349, being an increase of 81, S35, ,327
over 1898.
One of the best signs of the city's
prosperity is found in the bank clear
ances for the year, aggregating the
enormous sum of Slo1, 332, 345. This
was more than s25, 0OO,O in excess of
the clearings of Atlanta and Norfolk
combined.
But the best exhibit perhaps, is
that made by our manufacturing es-
tablishments. The number of plants
is 1869. an increase for the year of
81: the number of hands employed is
1875, an Increase of ZAP: the CAPT
tai employed is s23, $50, 6l3, an increase
of 81, 843, 63S. The amount of sales
for 1901 was $50, 95S. 105, an increase of
1896, 241.
These figures are more expressive
than words of the city's growth and
prosperity. Our retail merchants have
also had a splendid trade and all
branches cf business have done we'll.
One of the closest observers and best
| informed fnanciers in the city said
Yesterday that Richmonders had a
made a great deal of money during
1901, and he doubted if the city had
ever had a moro generally prosperous
year. It is worthy of note that al
though the people Of Richmond had
more money in 1901 than for many
wears previously, there was very little
| Of the speculative fever which is so
characteristic OF prosperous seasons.
Some men have, bought and sold stocks
on a conservative basis, and we think
that most of them have made money.
But here has been nothing approach
ing a speculative craze, and as for a
| land boom. it has not been thought of.
Our business operations have been
carried on in business-like way.
There has been nothing like over
trading, no disposition to force busi
ness and no wildcat schemes. 1t was
a great year for Richmond. The city
made substantial gains in all direc-
tions and we believe that there are
grander triumphs for her in the year
| 1902 Richmond Times.

'Some time ago my daughter caught a
severe cold. She complained of pains in
her chest and had bad cough. I gave
her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy accord
ing to directions and in two days she was
we'll and able to go to school. I have
used this remedy in my family for the
past seven years and have never known it
to fail" says James Prendergrast, mer
chant, Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India
Islands The pains in the chest indicated
an approaching attack of pneumonia,
which in this instance was undoubtedly
warded off by Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. It counteracts any tendency of a
cold toward pneumonia. Sold by DR. A j

LUCKY IOWA.

Some of the friends of Secretary
Wilson, Of the department Of agricul-
ture, have been apprehensive lest the
entrance of Governor Shaw into the
cabinet might be followed by the
retirement of Secretary Wilson, as
they come from the same State and
it has been seldom that one State is
allowed two cabinet officers. Presi-
dent Cleveland had Daniel Manning
and William G. Whitney, both Of
New York, in his first cabinet,
and President Harrison at one time
had Indiana men for his secretary
of state and his attorney general, but
such instances are rare. It is crafty
inc to know that there is no prospect
that Secretary Wilson is to retire.
He has proved himself an admira-
BILE official. A practical and very
successful farmer himself, he has
managed the department of agrricul-
ture in most satisfactory manner,
and it has been under his direction,
probably more useful that it was ever
before.
But, while the country is not will
ing that Secretary Wilson should leave
sae cabinet, it is impressed by the
fact that Iowa has received very
large share of high federal Offices.
Besides two cabinet portfolios she
has the speakership of the house of
representatives, an Office from which
the course of federal legislation IS often
controlled more largely than from any
other station, even the white house
itself. One Iowa man is chairman OF
the senate committee on approprla-
tions md another of the senate COM
mittee on agriculture. Iowa has for
two years past had more important
places on the house committee than
any other state of its size and her Mr..
Hepburn is at the head of the commit
tee on the Nicaragua canal.
The state has Jared finely in the dis
tribution of Offices by the executive
departments, having besides many
honors in tie other departments, Con-
ger as minister to China and several
other desirable and lucrative consul
ships.
And if his boomers can have their
way. an Iowa senator, Mr.. Dolliver.
will be the successor of President
Roosevelt. Her other senator, Mr..
Allison. recently received the IN
pa,allelled honor Of a sixth successive
election to the senate.
In fact. Iowa is having her innings
in federal fayors. 1t must be SAID,
however, that she has furnished a
set of strong men for these important
places, and if they continue to do we'll
| the country will not complain that
Iowa has drawn so many big prizes.
Some years ago Ohio had q bulge in
federal favors somewhat like that
which Iowa is now enjoying.
| President Hayes, an Ohio man was
succeeded by President Garfield from
the same state and between them a
brigade of Buckeye politicians got
into handsome Offices in which many
of them are to be found in this day.
We doubt if the present invasion of
Iowa officials will last 50 long.

POTOMAC RIVER REGATTA.
Coach Dempsey Here Looking Over the
Georgetown Crew Candidates.


Coach P. A. Dempsey came down from
Philadelphia on Thursday for the pur-
pose OF looking over the advance guard
of candidates for places in the crews
which will represent Georgetown Uni
versity in the October 6 Potomac River
regatta. He was very much pleased
with the outlook, and returned home
last night.
He will be back here next week and
look after his charges. While al home
he will look over the field for suit
able steam or electric launch, which
will be used in future for coaching
Georgetown crews here and at Pough-
keepsie. # launch is procured and
can be gotten here in time. 1t will be
used in connection with the coming re-
gatta.
Coach Dempsey reports great amount
of interest on the Schuylkill in the Po-
tomac regatta, and expresses the opin-
ion that there will be a larger repre-
sentation here of Philadelphia clubs
than has ever before attended an event
outside of the Keystone State.
The regatta committee has addressed
the Navy Department requesting the
detail of fast launch from the navy
yard or a torpedo boat from Annapo
lis on the occasion of the regatts foT
the use of officials and the press. 1t
is expected that the request will be
granted
All the Potomac crews were out yes
terday, and the number of candidates is
being gradually sifted down, so that b.
next Thursday it is hoped to settle def
nitely on the regular crews for the re-
gatta.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Sept. 13.-The feature
of the sport at Harlem this afternoon
was the match race against time be-
tween Rosetree and Jiminez. The match
was brought about by the unsatisfactory
result of race few days ago in which
Rosetree beat Jiminez, when it was
thought the latter should have won.
The two owners got together and
agreed to run a match race, and the
association decided to add a substan.
tial purse if an effort we're made to
break the worlds record for a mile. II
is held by Brigadier. the time being
1877 As, made at Sheepshead Bay on
June "a, 1901.

Rosetree won, but failed to break the
record. the time being 1:39 3-5.
The stake feature of the afternoon was

went to the good sprinter Toah, fa-
vorite in the betting. Weather clear;

COMING BATTLE OF
PBATHBRVBI BIGHTS
O'ern ueh Protesting That 1t
Will Not Be a Fake.
Records Show That Great Many
Fights Have Not Been
Genuine.

With the approaching battle for feath-
erweight honors, which is scheduled 10
take place in Louisville. September %,
the casual follower of events pugilistic
is prone to seize himself by the wrist and
with dull sense of recollection stop and
say:
"Is this thing absolutely on the
level?''
McGovern's manager and Corbett's
are busily engaged in denying the re-
ports of fake, and they have employed
countless secretaries and other stenog-
ographic menials to assist them in this
endeavor
However. let us hark back few dec
AIDES and lock over the fake field and
the level fights of the past. Their name,
OF course. is legion, and when the said
casual observer gazes diffidently into
the dim vistas Of the past and gone. he
may be pardoned if he hurls forth a
few vituperative sentences and allows
doubt to creep into his being like a
twentieth century burglar in the night.
Many rights Cut BIAS.
The ordinary individual who has
placed his piasters on either Corbett or
McGovern may be pardoned If he exer-
cises his mind at this stage OF the pro-
ceedings. There have been so many
precedents, all the way from Richard
III and Saladin. down to the McGovern
Cans bout. IN Chicago. that one hardly
knows which way to turn.
Perhaps McGovern and Corbett are
really going to fight on the square and
give the betting public fair run
fop its money and then-perhaps a
lot of things.
The strange thing however. is that
both managers should be so strenuous
in their denials. When one recollects
Tom Sharkey and Fltz in Frisco some
years ago. when one thinks of Wyatt
carp and his gun play. and-well. just
think of any number of fights Of i'm
portance you have heard OF. and then
think again.
Air of General Distrust.
One will shortly come to the realiza
ton Of the fact that any Of the big
fights OF histOry-down through the
ages-down to the time when Horatius
and his two friends held that bridge
over the Tiber in the face of mob tand
there is a suspicion that that was job
also. Macaulay to the contrary notwith-
standing). that something was wanting
in every scrap.
All these instances are prone to cause
the follower OF pugilism some uneasiness
over the coming affair and there is q
species Of unrest abroad in the land
which bodies i'll for those connected with
the Louisville fight IL there is a hint of
a crooked atmosphere prevailing on Sep
tember %.

No excuses are being made for The
