Petitions Will Be Presented

the REV. George H. Wiley will continue
at tho head of the Me thodsts Institute,
of this city.
Under the laws OF the. Methodist
Church, the ministers have to move Mt
tile expiration OF four years. Mr.. Wiley
liasiserved the full term, and unless someT,
thing is done he will be compelled to leave
the work to which he has given the best
efforts Of his heart huad and hand Local.
Methodists arc considerably stirred up
over the matter. and at tho institute 1t
self 1t is the one absorbing topic for
discussion. While they are making no
threats, many Of the mon there declare
fatty that they will with Mr.. WHEY
II .he has to do so.
One avenue OF escape presents itself,
and, 80 far as is known, only one. Mr..
Wiley may be given nominal appoint
,ment to Trinity or some other church, and
allowed to continue his present work !. an ~
effort Is now being made to arrange IT so
that this can be done. The Institute
sunday-school met few days ago ana
adopted ringing resolutions. Other reso-
lutions are being drawn up. and VIII be
signed by members Of the denominati ton
and many. outsiders who are interested IN
the result. All OF them. together with
bulky petition, Will be presented 10 blshop
Hendrix, who will preside over the con-
ference.
1t Is believed that the removal OF MT.
Wiley would be disastrous to the best
interests OF the institute. No other min
liter in the conference Is 80 thoroughly
Identified with the work as he. His won
derful success during the past four years
speaks eloquently for itself. TO remove
him at this time would be a serious blow
to the mission and a source OF great re-
greet to the entire community.

FIRE LOSSES ARE
NOT SO HEAVY
Material Decrease for First
Six Months of Present
Year.

There has been a considerable falling
off in serious fires In Richmond during
the present year as compared with 1901
and 1902, according to statistics In the
office OF Chief Fuller. Of the Richmond
Fire Department In 1901 the total loss on
stock and buildings during the year was
SOL. 1864, while for 1902 It was S2.9,422. IS.
For the FIRST SIX months Of the pres
ont year, ending on June S0t h, the total
loss on stock and buildings Is slo2 ,2S3af.
This amount Is considerably less than
one-half OF the loss during the year 1909,
and far below half Of that for 1901
The first six months of the year is the
period In which the most r.ous fires
usually occur. so 1t Is not anticipated
that the figures for the first six months
VIII be even doubled by December 31st.

GREEK WEDDINGS.

The weddings are pretty ceremonies, full of symbols of ancient date. The priests, clad in bright-colored silk vestments stand about table in the middle of the church, on which are a copy of the Evangel, often bound in silver covers as beautifully wrought as if from the hand of a Cellini, two wreaths of artificial orange blossoms, two long fanc candles arodned with streamers of white ribbons and orange blossoms, and 8 glass of wine. The bride and groom stand before the ta- ble, the best man at the right of the groom the decorated candles are lighted and. given to each of them, while the priests hold ordinary ones. First one and then another priest chants the marriage service, holding up the Evangel to be kissed by the bride and groom, as we'll as the best man. A priest then takes the two rings, and
 with them makes the sign of the cross three times on each foresead before
 putting them on their respective fin
 gers. The best man then takes them off again, and passes them from one to another three times as symbol of uni ty in all their earthly goods. The two
 wreaths, which are fastened together in the back by long streamers, are next blessed and put one on the head of the
 groom and another on the brides head.
 These the best man also exchanges from one to another three times. Af- ter the wine is blessed is is given first | to the man to drink and then to the woman; and, this being concluded, the couple, followed by the best man, walk | three times about the table. The num-
 Der three, representing the Trinity, is ! used in every action. This last custom | was in ancient days dance of joy;
 but, modern ideas having crept into even the Greek church, conservative as
 it is, the gay dance is now solemn
 promenade made under great difficult
 ties, as the bride and groom are clasp
 ing hands, while in their free hands
 they carry the tall lighted candles: and l the united wreaths necessitate their
 heads moving together, which may also
 be symbolic of nuptial unity.-Athens

 collectors of old china are anxious to
 get hold of his particular collection. s.. <
 But the trouble is that there are many
 claimants for the china. First, there
 is the hired man who was holding the
 plough which uncovered the rare old
 relics. On the principle that the. finder
 is first owner. the dishes belong to him
 Then there is the man who rented the farm, and for whom the discoverer was
 working. On the principle that the ser- wants time belongs to his employer, and also that he is entitled to whatever the farm produces, the dishes belong to him. }:a 2.s@.i *aa :si-% E%.
 But along comes the man who. owns | the farm, and who rented it to the man ! who hired the chap who made the dls- covery, and he claims ownership ot the
 dishes because he is the owner of the farm, and while the lessee is entitled to the crops he has no claim to what may be produced from underground. The fourth claimant is to be found in an | heir (or heirs) of the Carrs,' who buried the dishes. It is presumed that they will find difficulty in setting up a claim, for it will not be easy to prove that
 these were the dishes Grandma Carr took such peculiar care of, and so the other claimants may tell them to go
 that the state can prove title. Itais also
 suggested the state may get a hand in

 In a close and exciting game the New Haven team defeated the Springfield team on the Savin Rock grounds yester- day afternoon. Springfield started the run-getting in the very first inning when two tallies were chalked down against them. From that time until the fourth, the play abounded in close, snappy plays and when the local team piled up three runs in the fourth the en- thusiasm knew no bounds. New Haven added two more runs to their credit, scoring one in the fifth and one in the sixth. With the score to against them the visitors sent man around the circuit in the seventh and then tied the score in the eighth by scoring two runs. Springfield went out in one, two, three order in their half of the ninth. New Haven then pulled out of the hole by sending a man around the bases after one man had been put out, placing the final score 6 to in favor of the cham pions.
 Tuckey played a great pitching and fielding game for New Haven, Ahearn, Connell and Bone batted in fine style, as did FTtzmaurice. Berry, Henry and O'Connor excelled at the bat for the Springfield team and Berry's fielding was of the sensational order. The sum- mary:

YALE VICTORIOUS.

Defeated the University of Virginia
 Team on Yale Field Yesterday After
 noon,
 Costly errors by the University of Virginia team coupled with poor base running made the game with Yale a listless affair yesterday afternoon. Yale had Westcott in the box and Farmer be- hind the bat. The first three innings were we'll fought, but after that Yale forged ahead and the result was never in doubt Barnwell scored three bag ger in the fifth inning with no one on bases. Yale was off color at the bat and made but one more hit than the Virgin ians O'Brien was played at short and did well. Thompson was on third in place of O'Rourke and had nothing to do. The summary:
