eat and drink.
Major D. NJ Walker, the prominent in
surance agent, was the last commands
ant of the battery and is the president
of the association. He was present ysster-
day and enjoyd mingling with his men.
Many rare wartime experiences were
related, and the afternoon was passed
in a most enjoyable manner. The roll
of the members Of the battery was read,
and silent toast was drunk to those
who year by year have passed over the
river" and are now resting under the
shade of the trees
Captain w. H Stratton. Captain g.
Watt Taylor, Messrs. c. c. Baughman,
NJ West, and r. T. Briggs were among

BANKS NOT COMBINING
Richmond Institutions Not Yet Going
Into Northern Movement.

Into Northern Movement.
The national banks of Richmond are a
ur!t in not favoring the national bank
combine, as projected. and news of which
was published yesterday morning from
Chicago What is more, it looks az If
it will be next to impossible. to force the
reluctant local banks into any combine.
Mr. John P. Branch president OF the
Merchants National Bank, said yester-
day: Speaking for our bank, will say
that the stock could not be purchased.
It is held where they could not get hold
OF 1t. don't think there is anything in
the plan Have not received any letter
or communication concerning it."
& Mr.. Tucker K. Sands. cashier Of the
Nation Bank of Virginia, states that
he does not believe the combination
scheme would receive much support in
the South and practically none In Rich
no1,d He did not think Richmond bank
ers would fancy being snbordinates of the
combination in New York.
BUT the movement is now In its infancy.
and not one of the banks has received the
circular describing the plan of combina-
tor, and evidently it is impossible to tell
what will be the outcome Of the move
ncnt.
Tie national banks here and their cap
itals are: First National, s6oO, GOO; Planters,
100000; American, $500, 600; Merchants.

COST oFFooD.
Grape.Nuts VS.. White Bread. e,

"A family figured carefully on the cost
of food, taking into consideration the
strength and health that Grape Nut
furnished. The report is interesting:
We first took up Grape-Nuts because
it agreed with me SO well. I was suffer-
ing from dyspepsia that medicine did not
relieve. l frequently laughed at the
idea when some of my friends told Of
the use Of Grape-Nuts; however. one day
wife bought a package and we found it
good and it agreed with me. e
We We're accustomed to using white
bread and oats. wheat or barley mushes
boiled from two to four hours. We con-
sidered Grape-Nuts too expensive, but I
noticed that when I had breakfast of
Grape Nuts felt fine, and other days
when white bread and other cereals were
used felt weak and bloated.
One day about six months ago said to
wife II am satisfied that Grape Nuts is
the thing that makes me feel better in
between the blue spells. Then we sat
down and figured a while on the cost OF
living and came to the conclusion that
we could live better and happier on
fifteen cents worth of Grape-Nuts than
on twenty-five cents worth of white
bread or cooked at home cereals. = on
see four teaspoonfuls of Grape Nuts fur
nish more strength to work on than
large quantities of other food, so we
started on Grape Nuts in earnest using
it every morning. and a wonderful change
has come over me.

Never have any OF the old bloated feel
ings. Feel strong and well and can en-
dure more hard work than could on
the old diet. and this result is all swithout

Judge Lanham is member of Con-

elected in the fall and will be inaugu-
rated on the LIST of January next.

quence, and attractiveness. He held a
large audience last night in the closest
attention and interest. His alternate
passages and periods of humor and pathos
were generously applauded. The Hon.
John Lamb introduced the speaker, a
Confederate veteran of honorable record
himself. Judge Lanham told of his own
experiences and, passing from a discus
sion Of matters Confederate and patriotic,
urged the loyal support and mainten-
ance of organizations of the character
of the Sons Of Veterans and the Daugh-
tiers Of the IConfederacy. His graphs
upon the women Of the Confederacy
were commented upon as peculiarly elo-
uuent and beautiful s
Mr.. and Mrs. Cloves, Miss Sims and
the West End Mandolin Club furnished
the music of the occasion.

The confirmation in the synagogue is

because it is in keeping with the spirit

that when Israel first stood at the foot
of Sinai thousands OF years ago, God
asked for a .pledge from them for the
Keeping Of the divine Law which He was
about to give them. After other things
had been offered and refused they offer
ed their children as a pledge for the
keeping of the Law, and this was ac-=

like to be present, but he can't.
Captain Tomlinson went to Norfolk yes

It Is suggested in police circles that the
City Council might do well to pass an
ordinance requiring the curtains to doors
and windows of all barrooms to be
drawn on Sundays. This would be of
much assistance in the effort to have
the Sunday laws observed.
Chief of Police r. NJ Whiting, Of Read
Ing. Pa, has written Major Howard a
letter, stating that he has located two
alleged claivoyants In that city, who, he
is convinced, are the same who operated
here last winter under the names of PRO
fesser Lee and Professor Jackson
They are known there as Professor Win
ston'' and and Professor Reed
These two men swindled scores Of peo-
pie in Richmond out Of large sums of
money and jewelry. None of them would
swear out warrants against the men at
that time, and unless they do now. the
alleged fortune-tellers cannot be brought
back here.
A sa1oon-keeper4 in Fulton was foi1ed by
the police last Sunday in his attempt to
keep open. He had arranged to have an
electric wire connect with the bar and
a button on the corner, the latter to be

got on to the game. and were directed
from headquarters to push the button
every half hour. No liquor was sold at
