BISHOP FOWLER
Entertains Audience at the Co1ise-
um Last Night.

Bishop Fowler addressed a large
and intelligent audience at the Coli
scum last night on the subject of
" Abraham Lincoln" which subject
the bishop has delivered a number of
times throughout the United States
Bishop Fowler is claimed to be the
greatest pulpit orator Of the Metho-
dist church and last evenings eudi-
ence felt satisfied when it felt that
the bishop was able and fit to defend
his title from any and all comers.
The lecture, while it was a dramatic
one to the last degree, was very in
telligent one and his hearers were
very much benefited by it, as they
received a large amount of instruc
tion which very likely would never
come to a number of them in any
other way than by the lecture plat
form. The bishop handled his sub
ject without notes Of any kind and
held his audience spellbound from
beginning to end. It was one of the
finest productions Of eloquence ever
heard in Richmond. Mr.. Fowler
was introduced to the large audience
by the Rev. Madison Swadener, of
the First M. E. church of this city.
Bishop Fowler was a guest of the
Rev. Mr.. Swedener while he was
here. The lecture was a part of the
course Of the Popular Lecture
Course.

ACTION OF The finance COMMITTEE
Recommending City


During the debate a question of
general interest was brought up.
Councilman Leftwick asked Engineer
| Weber if the street grades of Rich
mOnd We're established and was in
formed by him that they were not,
much to the surprise of nearly every
one present. The tendency of coun-
ell at first was to- order the traction
company to tear up the track that
they had just put down under the
bridge, but City Attorney Robbins
said that this would be an unwise
action, inasmuch as the Main street
grade was not established. The
windup of the whole affair was the
passing of an ordinance which COM
pells any company Or individual de-
string to tear up a street for any
purpose, to first apply to council for
permission to do So
This ended the debate on the sub
ject of lowering the street under the
Main street c., c. & L. bridge. Then
came the most interesting thing on
the list of the evenings entertain
ment. The report of the finance
committee was read, in which the
members Of the committee recon-
mended that the resignation of Dep
uty William Needham be accepted
and that council appoint Omer G.
Wheelan In his place. This recon-
mendatien was met with objection
on. thes part of City Clerk Taggart,
who stated that as the deputy was
to work under him, he thought it was
his business to appoint him and not
the councils. Mr.. Robbins was ap-
pealed to as to how the State law
read on this subject and he said that
the law read as follows:
"Deputy to City Treasurers and
Clerks should be appointed by these
officials, with consent of council'
Mayor Zimmerman attempted to
end the debate by issuing instructions
to the city Fathers to appoint Mr..
Whelan as deputy. Mr.. Leftwick
| lHCl dIooe anu IdlSeu pollBt VI VI
der, saying that Mayor Zimmerman
had no right to dictate to council
land insinuated that it was Cup to
His Honor to lie down and behave
Mr.. Zimmerman got around this OBJ
lection by a clever flank movement.
He stepped out of his throne and re-
quested Mr. Blickwedel to occupy IT,
Then the mayor stated his views on
the subject of deputies and every
thing in general, after which he re-
occupied his seat in the forum. Mr..
Leftwick was then granted permis-
sion to speak. He moved that the
appointment of a deputy be laid on
the table for two weeks until council
could consider the thing to better ad-
vantage, but this was. objected to by
Mr.. Taggart, as he said that at the
present time he was extremely busy
and wanted to know whether Whelan
was to be appointed or not. The res
olution offered by the finance COM
mlttee was put to vote and carried
by nine votes to five. When the re-
suit was known Taggart said that
he would not have the deputy in his
office and that he would work Sun
days in preference to allowing Whee-
Ian to aid him, not that he had any
thing against Wheelan, but from the
principal of the thing, which he con-
lsidered unfair and extravagant.

PATROL BOX
To Be Located at Corner Eighth and
Main Streets.

Isaac Gormon, superintende dent of
police, requested of council last ev-
ening that a patrol box be located at
the corner of Eighth and Main
streets. In cold weather the officer
who has the guardianship Of this
crossing, which is the busiest in the
city, has a hard time of it and this
box is meant to keep him warm,
when not actively engaged in keep
ing the crowds from being run
down by street ears, interurbans,
vehicles, etc. The matter was re-
ferred to the police committee with
power to act.

Last night Mayor Zimmerman
gave the cleverest exhibition Of
rough riding ever seen in Richmond.
He rode the city council with the
ease and grace of a Buffalo Bill.
Council was inclined to be balky and
obstreperous. The Richmond !. Street
and Interurban Railway Company
got theirs in many varieties; then
Engineer Weber was placed On the
gridiron and "roasted to FRAGILE, -
but he came through the ordeal with
a smile which seemed to- say: "Nev-
er touched me-
The evenings program was clos
ed with a bout between City Clerk
Taggart on one side and the finance
committee and His Honor on the 9TH
er, The bone Of contention was
whether Mr.. Taggart or the finace
committee had the right to appoint
a deputy in the city clerks office.
Throughout the combat, which reek-
ed of law books, warm language and
strange actions, Councilmen O'Neil
and Leftwick would occasionally fire
broadsides on the behalf Of the city
clerk.
The evenings trouble started over
the alleged discourteous act on the
part of the Richmond Street and In
terurban Railway Company in lower
ing their tracks under the Main
street c., c. & L. bridge without first
asking the consent of council. A,c-
ton was started by Councilman En-
glebert. who remarked that the
streets and alleys committee, of
which he is a member, were being
"jumped' by the public for the
traction company's action. He said
that they were not to blame and in
sinuated that the city engineer was
the fit person to bear the respon-
sibility because he had furnished the
company with stakes. He added
that he did not think the traction
officials had gone at the thing in the
right way and quoted that the Rich
mond Street and Interurban Railway
Company's franchise stated that to
make any improvements which would
necessitate the tearing up of any
street, councils permission would
have to be first obtained. At this
point City Attorney Robbins re-
marked that at the present time there
was no city ordinance governing this
point. Engineer Weber next took the
floor and stated that it seemed tc
be the purpose of the street and al
ley committee to put all the blame on
his shoulders. He further said that
when the c., R. & M. was built
through Richmond the Main. street
grade was changed and that the trac-
tion company in lowering the street
under the c., C. & l.. Main street
bridge was only complying with the
grade which had been established.
At this point of the animated
contest, His Honor arose from his
seat and told what he knew about
the traction company's action. H
said several uncomplimentary things
concerning Superintendent Gordon
and that he did not think the trac
ton company's action was justifi
able and that they were only contin
uing the policy that was adopted by
them when they lied to council Sc
that they could put their tracks ovel
the Main street bridge.

Subscriptions to the Palladium,

and the total amount is climbing to-
ward the 800 mark day BY day.
Yesterday a number of charitable
persons left money to be devoted to
the purchase of toys for the poor
children. Only four days, including
today, are left for people to eontri-
butte to the fund. A number of re-
ports in regard to very poor children
have reached the Palladium office and
these children will be cared for. 1t
Is requested that any father or moth
er who knows that on account of
poverty their children will not be
able to have much Christmas this
year, write note to the Palladium
office and the little ones will be prop
erly taken care of All letters re-
celved i'll this matter will be conf
dental and should be addressed TO
the Christmas Fund Department. No
father or mother should feel the least
bit ashamed of any action of this
kind because of poverty. The fund
has ben established for the purpose
of helping the poor children and to
that end it shall be used. 1t is quite
likely that there are a number of
families in the city who have been
too proud to ask aid from tile regu-
lar charity organizations. vet they
would be very glad if the small chill
dren of the family should be remem-
bered on Christmas day. Be sure
and mention in the letters sent in
this manner the full name of the
child who desires a present, age and
sex and give correct street address
so that it will be impossible for the
little one to be missed.
