BRIDGE SHOULD &
BE RAISED
And it Should be Done Very Soon
For the Good Of All
Concerned.

Councils action in refusing TO or
der the c.. c. & J.. Railway company
TO raise the Main street bridge Is be-
inc criticised. The reason for such
action is given that the Richmond
Street & Interurban company would
not change its franchise so that
tickets could be sold on cars and 9th
er affairs were mentioned that had
not gone Just right.
The facts In the case are that the
Richmond Street & Interurban com
panv an the least interested in tha
road of any Of the parties named.
Their ears run under the bridge all
right. and it is only the limited ears
and those of other lines that are kept
from coming in. The beautiful palace
cars Of the Holland company can not
pass through Richmond owing to the
lowness of the bridge. Tt i. a barrier
to Richmond : progress ard is Il very
little matter to quibble over by such
mammoth institutions as the city of
Richmond, the c.. c. & /. Railway
company and the Richmond Street (
Interuban company.
Get together ON the proposition
and raise the bridge that is a bar
rier to cur progress.

It has been decided to hold the
troops here until the end Of the week.
The provocation to negroes, given by
the action Of the mob last night, IS
feared might incite retaliation with
most disastrous results.
The local authorities are worn ont
with incessant duty, and have given
over the management to the military,
and everything is quiet. Efforts are
being made to have the mayor declare
the other negro saloons nuisances.
The authorities were informed that
the mob proposes to burn the remain
ing negro saloons tonight.

IN THE ORATORIO
At First M. E. Church-Mr. Miller
is a Fine Tenor of
Seats Large.

Much interest has been manifested
in the approaching appearance of
four notable singers in Richmond
Thursday night to assist the Earlham
Chorus in Haydn's Imperial Mass
and to sing the entire Persian Gar
den As last year the management Of
the Earlham society has not regard
ed expense in getting together artists
of ability and distinction. Only one
of them has sung in Richmond before
but the others have received the high
est praise by competent critics. Of
Miss Elizabeth Blamere. who after a
most successful California tour came
to Richmond last year to sing in
1.-The Creation," little need be said
to those who have heard her. The
quality of her voice, her personality,
her splendid musicianship combined
to give her conspicuous position
among the western singers immedi-
ately upon her going from New York
to Chicago a few years ago. Mr..

Mr.. Miller, although comparatively
new to the west, IS the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of that greatest Of rarities, a
"real tenor voice, not made by the
method sof man, but a gift of nature
although natures endowments have
been perfectly reinforced by the
methods of man. - The beautiful
tenor solo in the Sanctus from Gou-
nod 5 Messe SoIennelle will give
Mr.. Miller his best opportunity on
Thursday evening. Concerning Miss
/ Callahan, the Musical Courier said
that a recital given by her ''was in

far above the average OF similar

is that it has temperament and that

The work by the extraordinarily
talented young pianist, Mr. Clarence
Adler, on the Accomplishments of the

Occurred in This City the Past Win

ter.
The number Of fires this winter has
been much smaller than for several
years past. The fire company has
only had three or four little fires in
the past month while in former years
the winter and early spring has beer
the time when the greatest number
occur. One Of the fremen, speaking
today. said: ct is the dullest' sea
son that l have known since I have
hen on the force Nearly always about
his time of the year and a little ear
lier we have had bad fires and / ex-
pected some this wear, but was aeree-
ably surprised. The Wavne Works
fire and other bad fires took place
about this time ut with the excep-
tion of a few small blazes scarce
worthy of mention, the fire depart
ment has been resting from very hard
work. I attribute the small number
of fires to the fact that so many Of
the residents use gas instead Of Goa
this winter. and gas does away with
all the trouble Of defective fues from
coal haseburners. etc. Coal and the
fires originating from It's use cause z
great deal of trouble generally, but
this year, for the first time IN a long
while, the number Of fires has for
tunatelv been very small. -

THE PAVILION
Dissatisfaction Expressed by a Mum
Der Of Citizens.


There was considerable disappoint-
ment expressed by citizens over the
action Of council IN regard to the pa
vilion in the Glen. The mayor ex-
pressed himself at council meeting as
being in favor Of the pavilion. but
did not want to spend the money to
have it built. Of course every one
realizes that it costs money TO build
pavilion or anything else. and. when
the structure Is to be city property,
the money should come from the
treasury. The men who own their
homes would. Of course. be taxed to
pay for it, bnt they would likewise
reap the benefits IN the way of meet
ings Of every kind, without cost.

Tile Churches Flourishing

lhC SAul ChCS l. lOuIlSAIhS
Those who attend divine servi-
ces at the churches that arc loca-
ted in the country districts of our
county are impressed with the
fact that the members who COM
pose them are upon a higher plane
of spiritual living, more consecra-
ted and take a greater interest in
Christian work than during for
mer years. This is due probably
to two causes: First. the bitter
factionalism that was rampant all
over the state Lot many years ago
has subsided, and second, because
the present pastors meaning no
reflection upon those who served
the churches in the rast are
more active and, withal, more
efficient. Furthermore, the stand
