our progress The bureau has also done
effective work during the year, and its
efficiency and power has been demon
st-ated in many instances. Our manager
has labored with untlring zeal. and is
ever ready to take up any matter within
the province OF his department. It Is
remarkable how other cities appreciate
the Importance of such agencies-aye in
several places regular appropriations are
made by the city governments towards
their maintenance. It stands to reason
that unless we are ever watchful for
any discrimina tons in freight charges
against US that the potency of Richmond
as market may be hampered, if not de-
stroyed. and the lost ground may never
be regained.
This DEPARTMENT was not created upon
the Chambers initiative, but upon the
earnest request of many OF our most
prominent shippers. on the ground that

been created, those who have taken the
trouble to acquaint themselves with its
worth and value, or to avail themselves

Of the necessity of its. being.

greatest difficulties and make the cele-

THE HOTEL "JEFFERSON."
Amidst the numerous evidences Of our
materia! progress, as shown on every
side, it is sad to record the fact that this
city was visited during tho past year by
several disastrous fires. none Of which,
| however. caused the great loss cntailed
by that of the Hotel Jefferson, which oc-
Cured on March Goth. This magnificent
structure, erected a few years ago by our
late fellow-citizens, Major Lewis Ginter.
and Mr.. John Pope, who spared no money
to make this hotel the finest in the South.
was in a few hours almost totally de-
stroyed. Seldom has the community been
so aroused as it was at this appalling
disaster, and all of our citizens are deeply
sensible Of the loss. It was the pride Of
our city, and gave Richmond an interna-
tional advertisement.
In my humble Judgment, good hotels
do more to attract foreign capital to a.
city than anything else, because the in.
vestor, if he is able to secure good ac-
ccmmodatiCns, will stop long enough to
see what the city has to offer, and often
concludes to remain If surroundings are
congenial. Our Committee on Conven-5
lions, which had done such good work
during 1900, had to suspend it's labors be-
cause our hotels could not take care Of
the large bodies that gathered at such
| meetings. The Chamber met the morn
ing after the fire and rendered the JEFF
| ferson Hotel Company its profound
sympathy, and assured it OF any aid that
we could render We congratulate the
citizens Of Richmond that we are assured
that the Jefferson" will before long be.

enlarged hotel, while two other commo-t

year, so that we shall be prepared to ac-5

here with delightful quarters. believe.
1t is to the interest of the city to assist
these enterprises In every possible way
consistent with Justice and equity to-
wards its taxpayers.
JACKSONVILLE SUFFERERS.
During the past year, another of our
sister cities in the South met with great,
calamity. a large part of the city of
Jacksonville. Fla, was destroyed by fire

its sympathy and proffered its aid. The
necessity for help being made known to,

THE CROSS AND
THE COIN X X

PROFESSOR Jasper Flint was an an
tiquarian, and Aramaic scholar, g
collector of coins and an atheist Coin
collecting was mania with him. JAS
per Flint was as hard ia his heart and In
his life as is the stone from which he
took his name. Unlike the flint, how
ever, no steel. or nything else, for that
matter, could strike fire from the pro-
lessor. With him religion was sheer.
The only things that he loved were the
coins in his collection case, and his
work in the Oldberry library, where he
translated ancient manuscripts for a
livelihood:
1t was the first bright afternoon Of
spring The southern sun came warm
through the plate glass window of the
little library-room where Prof. Flint
sat all alone at his work of transla-
tibn. He had gone through some
Syrian material thoroughly. but with
little interest The air was close; he
felt drowsy and twice he nodded. Sud
denly he saw lying on the table be-
yond the little wicker paper basket a
cylinder with the end open. He took
it up and found a roll of parchment pro-
truding. The professor was surprised.
The librarian had not told him of this
addition to the afternoons work. He
uuroled the parchment and saw in an
instant that the characters were
Arabic. He read a few lines and a
look of amazement came into his face.
He finished the reading and trembled.
''The coin of the Christ" he said,
and the words came in gasps. 81 shall
be the king of the worlds collectors"
lie spread ont the manuscript once
more and carefully studied some lines
which were drawn in a corner. THE
directions are simple" muttered the

Death of Edward Turnbach.

Edward Turnbach, leader of Halle
ton Citizens Alliance, died yesterday
morning after eight weeks OF the most
intense suffering. He was born In
White Haven July rs, 1s4s, and was the
descendant OF an illustrious revout ton
airy soldier, John Turnbach, who served
under General Wayne.
When seventeen years of age he
entered the employ Of Coke Bros. & Co.,
at Drlfton, accepting the position Of
shipping clerk. He served In this ca
pacity from 1869 to 1882, when he went
to Hazleton and engaged In the dyna-
mite business.
Mr.. Turnbach is survived by six chill
dren, William A, John j., Edward R.,
Mary b., Prentiss and Walter. His
first wife preceded him In death several
years ago, while his second wife died on
August IA last.

day afternoon from his late residence

No Temperance Parade.

Thare will be no G.. T. A. U. celebra-
tion on October 10 this year. 1t has
been called off. 1t was the intention to
hold 1t at West Scranton, the necessary
preparations being made, and the parade
would have been one OF the largest held
In years, This is the third time that
the parade was postponed, and in this
particular intance there will be some
disappointment, as many societies in
tended to 60 and had made the neces-
sary preparations, hiring bands, etc.
The reason that the parade was call
ed off is because the board of govern
ment of the temperance union was un-
able to secure suitable rates. They
thought 1t would be inadvisable under
the prevailing conditions to ask the
societies to attend when the rates were
so high

Rousing Luzerne Voters.

County Chairman Fred c. Kirkendall
has opened up Democratic county head
quarters and Is now ready to conduct
an aggressive campaign. He is ably
assisted by E. ]. Moore, the secretary,
who looks after the detail work.
Mr.. Kirkendall is confident that the
Luzerne Democracy are going to elect
their ticket this fall by good majority
The majority will not be as large as
last year, when the fusion ticket had
majority of $1,000, but Chairman
Kirkendall looks for at least 1900 ma
jorlty.
The ticket the Democrats have before
the people is the strongest that has
been named for years. There was a
good-natured rivalry before the conven-
tion for the various Offices, but now that
the nominations have been made, all
Democrats are cooperating with the
county chairman to get out the vote
and bury all differences of the past.

Admiral Melville III,

Rear Admiral George w. Melville,
who delivered the Founders Day ad-
dress at the M. & M. Institute closing
exercises on June 4, is i'll In Philadel-
phia hospital. He was taken there yes
terday morning from his apartments in
hotel, and while it was said that the
admiral is very sick man, there is
nothing alarming In his condition. 1t
was stated at tho hospital last night
that his ailment is of malarial nature,
although no definite statement was
made, as his case will not be diagnosed
until today.
Admiral Melville arrived in Philadel-
phia shortly after 10 o'clock ON Satur-
day night. He went Immediately to his
room and denied himself to all callers.
While his illness was sudden it was a
matter of comment among those who
had seen him that he was pale and worn
looking. 1t was remem bered, too, that
he had been complaining for several
weeks. Confirmation Of this came a few
minutes later, when the admiral sent for
his physician, who ordered his immediate
removal to the hospital.
Admiral Melville was 81 years old In
July last, and under the code governing
the retirement of naval officers will
finish his term of service next year.

hours before they announced that they
had agreed upon a verdict. Smith was
Immediately discharged, and Louis
Dim, who was indicted with him, was

joyed at the result of the trial.
Dim and his friends arrived home on
the 4.45 o'clock train and were pro-
fusely congratulated by the acquaint-
ances OF the family. Much sympathy
was expressed for the young mans
father, Bernhard Dim, to whom the
charge against his son was trying
ordeal.
Smith, accompanied by his attorneys
and relatives, arrived here on the 7.35

Many friends met them at the station
to congratulate the acquitted man and
the streets were lined with people, sew

and George I. Brown, were also con-
graduated for the successful defense
