SAMUEL, II. TATTERSALL,
Supreme Secretary.

Murphy's Hotel lobby presented an
animated scene last night. with several
hundred prosperous looking and staunch
Heptasophs from all over the country
rubbing elbows and shaking hands,
Colonel Murphy and his clerks were
as busy as any four men could be for
four hours on stretch and Supreme
Archon Morris G. Cohen was buster than
any one man under any ordinary cir
Ecumstancea-
The occasion, however, was not an or
binary one to the one hundred or more
badge-bedecked fellows, with their wives
and daughters who swarmed around the
lobby, and across the bridge and into the
committee rooms In the annex, for it was
the eve of the sixteenth biennial conclave
of the order.
There are delegates present from nearly
every State in the Union. and from all
the important cities. from Boston to the
Pacific coast and from Chicago to the
Gulf.
Supreme Archon Cohen was too busy
shaking hands vito the delegates to
smoke one of the famous Plttsburg sto-
giles that he had with him by the hum
dred. People crowded around him, so that
he had to open the windows and put the
chairs out In the hall, In 1t ALL he bore
a smile, and the chances are that he
would be able to pitch a game of ball to-
day. so much exercise was he forced to
indulge In last night.
Close behind him In this exercise was
Mr.. Tom B, Hicks. Of Richmond, who
was. with Mr.. Henry Flegenheimer,
mainly res ponsible for the coming of the
body to Richmond
Mr., FIegenheimer escaped much of this
Misunderstanding. because he got busy with
the labor Of placing the delegates in their
designated quarters,
MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION.

$4,000 has accumulated In twenty months.

"The Times" Shreveport, La. Of

An audience that crowed the
Grand Opera House from gallery
to parquette, greeted Billy Ker-
sands Minstrels last night. Those
who attended the performances
were more than repaid for their
trouble, for this aggregation is
unquest,onably the best equipped

has ever visited Shreveport. Some

tically spplauded. The first part
Of the performance is especially
praiseworty. Kersands has some
excellent balladist and the songs
sung are new and catchy.
No improvement on the special.
ties could be suggested. There is q
total absence of sugge:tiveness in
the numbers succeeding the first
part and all of the performance
are first class. The work Of era &
the contortionist, is worthy Of
special mention. He is ss an AGRA.
bat of rare ability and contributes
materially to the success of the
performances. Altogether the Ker-
sands Minstrels deserves the pa
mage of those who take an inter-
eft in this class of amusement
and they will undoubtly get it

DIVERS & TAYLOR.

An excellently and particularly
well conducted establishment, is
that of Messrs. Divers & Taylor,
wholesale and retail dealers in
wallpaper, paints, etc.,on Broad
way. They became established
here in August 1901 and although
comparatively a new concern,
their house is in receipt of an ac-
tive, steady and increasing BUSH
ness patronage. The stock is
n well a selected and admirably
assorted one, comprising all
standard mixed and raw paints,
white lead, lmseed and other Oils,
yarnish, dryers. putty, brushes,
wallpaper, and a general line of
painters'aud ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
AS well rs a fine assortment of
artists materials In large and
comprehensive Narilies. The
business is of sufficiently extern
siye proportions to n@ecessitate
the employment of "a numbero of
men and the continual use of a
wagon. Messrs. w. II. Divers
and p. c. Taylor, who comprise
the firm have proven themselves
thoroughly capable business men,
energetic, enterprising, reliable,
and in the highest degree trust
worthy in every business trans
action. Mr.. Divers was the first
mayor of our city and is at pres
eut the democratic nominee for
that office.
