Principle of Success

in this store is persistency--to do one thing at a
time and do that well is success.
More than thirty years ago the management Of
this establishment commenced to retail dry goods
Time, practice and experience has brought
knowledge and more knowledge of wants, wishes
and requirements, a broader field, greater range,
and more diversified offerings.
We have met these requirements and cond1-
tons always amply and the public will say salts
factorily, and we have kept consistently to dry
goods.
No dry goods want is unavailable here, every
thing that can be issuppled and SO, persistent at
tention to one line Of trade has brought us merit
ed and acknowledged pre-enninence as handlers OF
dry goods.
To-day, though there are many big stores, and
good ones, in Richmond with dry goods, and other
goods, Richnonds greatest legitimate dry goods

A WHITE CAP PARTY.

If you receive through the mails some
sheet, decorated with skull and cross
bones, don't be panicstricken. 1T sim
ply means that you are invited to one
of the new White Cap parties, which
are proving so popular at present.
The invitations will probably be
couched in the following astounding
terms:
Citizen-You are invited to meet the
White Caps who will come together on
Thursday evening next at Elmwood,
the Lucas homestead. If you can be
present, please come bringing all your
accustomed cleverness. You will need
it to avoid being hanged. Please come
in white costume and masked. Sin
cerely yours.
The Vigilance Committee.
On arriving at the house the invtee
is met by a committee costumed in
ghostly white, and wearing white
peaked caps, with masks attached. A
hearty welcome is given him, but he is
warned that when all the company are
arrived strenuous efforts will be made
to hang him.
When the last man and woman have
arrived upon the scene general hang
ing begins. This is accomplished by
means of a blackboard placed on an
easel at one end of the room. On this
blackboard the hostess draws a scat
fold. No artistic effort is necessary.
The scaffold may look as shown in the
diagram. She then makes a mental
choice of any noun, proper or common.
This word, when chosen, is represented
upon the board by a series of little
dashes. One dash stands for each let
ter. Thus. If the word chosen were
elephant" there would be eight dashes
upon the board, written in sequence
like the letters of a word.
Some hint of the character of the
word must be given to the person who
is endeavoring TO escape the gallows.
Thus, if elephant" were the word
sary to explain that the word hidden
was the name Of an animal. No fur
Their limiting is allowed.
The guessing Is done by letter. The

that IL will 1T into one OF the blanks
Of the concealed noun.
For example, II the p is guessed, the
hit is lucky one, and the fourth
blank In the word r. promptly filled

tunate is completely hanged, and looks
like the last sketch shown in the ac-
companying diagram.
In all, the victim has seven chances
to avoid hanging, and IL he can guess
the word any time before the last limb
is actually on he escapes alive.
Each person present is brought in
turn to the scaffold, and, II possible,
eXtinguished, the bystanders watching
his efforts with lively interest and
meditating upon their own possible fate
to come. No outside help is permitted
by the rules of the game. Each victim
must name his own letters and guess
his own word.
A more difficult and, consequently, a
more exciting hanging results when
an entire sentence is chosen instead of
a word. The Science must be some
thing appropriate to the occasion; 9TH
erwise a proverb or quotation is in or
der.
In using an entire sentence more
chances of escape should be afforded
the unhappy captive. In order to do
this, give the prisoner hands and feet,
two ears, fingers and toes, all of which
must be lost before he can be consid-
sidered hopelessly hanged.
Bach player that escapes the hang
ing receives some little gift as a trib-
ute to his dexterity. One of the pretty
pins representing coils of ropes with
a pearl imbedded in them, would be
charming as souvenir.

very much interested in our plans and
l believe he agreed entirely with us
that 1t would be the very strongest
lever to force the return of the En-
peror to Pekin and that the seizure
would have been entirely justifiable
under the rules of war After some
elaboration, however, Gen. Chaffee
decided that he could not take the re-
sponsibility upon himself, and, there
fore, he cabled the full facts of the
case to President Mckinley and asked
for instructions. Reply came prompt
ly from Washington to the effect that
Gen. Chaffee should confer with w.
w. Rockhill u. S. Peace Commits
sioner, and take such action as was
deemed advisable.
At the outset Mr.. Rockhill was skep-
teal and, while he afterwards &C
knowledged the value of the plan, he
was compelled because of his mission
Tor peace to avoid any complications
whatever. He felt that the seizure of
the treasure would antagonize the
Chinese and stir up trouble among the
Allies. On this account Mr.. Rockhill
could not give his consent to the plan.

treasure was at the end of the rain

kopf afterwards burned to death in
the destruction of the summer palace
and through him asked the German
forces to take the matter up. AS in
the case of our own troops, the Ger
mans were intensely interested, but
they too feared international compli-
cations and, since the Americans and
Japanese were in direct control of the
Imperial City they could not act with
out the concerted action of the Allies.
We did not dare trust the Japanese,
and so, for lack of the necessary as
sistance, we were compelled to give
up our plan. 1 am positive that if
Mr.. Rockhill could have arranged for
some concerted action in the matter at
the time, just year ago, it would not
only have FASTENED the final peace ne
gotiations, but it would have insur-
ed the speedy return of the Court of
Pekin. 1t is a matter of history now
however, that the protocol was not
signed for many months afterwards
and the return of the Chinese imperial
court was only accomplished a few
weeks ago. The very recent news of
the finding of $40, 000 900 of the treas
ure where it had been concealed more
than a year before will doubtless con-
firm to the government officials APP
preached at the time our plan was
formed of the truth of our statements,
if such a confirmation be needed. Per-
haps the events of the past year in
China may have convinced them that
our plan would have been an emf
nently sane plan to have followed in
clearing up the affairs of the allies and
placing the government Of China on
a firmer basis toward the rest of the
world. At any rate. probably, ours
was the most unique opportunity. in
history. If it had been carried out 1
am firmly convinced that millions
would have been saved and that the
course of events in China would have
at once taken a turn for the better.
