Opera House.

OF all the dramas that have taken the
,pubIic fancy during the last few years
probably none has achieved such 3
pronounced, and, at the same time, I'M
nsual success as has The Sign of the
Gross" Wilson Bsrrett's celebrated re-
ligious and historical play, which will
be seen At the Opera House on Saturday
evening. Not only has the unique drama
drawn 10 the theatre the usual patrons
of the playhouse, but it has as
we'll. won to the side Of the theatre
thousands of persons who before loudly
proclaimed It's harmfulness. "Ihe sign
of the Cross deals with religious sub
iect and teaches strong lesson, but this
is accomplished in manner that is SC
epgrossing, so thrilling and so intensely
interesting that it charms all who see It
because of its many strong scenes and IN
.ciden,s aud its varied and beautiful
scenic accessories.

A committee of AtxaDdriaOs headed
by Congressman Rixey, appeared before
Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw and CON-
missioner of Revenue Yerkes today to pro-
test against the removal of the Internal
Revenue Office from this city to Abing-
dor. the home of Collector Summers
The committee consis ed OF Messrs. Nj.
B. Harlow. G. L. Boz the, j. W. May,
IF. Johnson. @. G. Leadbeater, }. 1.
Burke. f. f Downbam, @. Z. Carlin,
Jno. A. Marshall aud Hubert Snowden.
At the Secrelary's Office the Alexandrla
committee was met by Representative
Glass and committee of Lynchburg cltl-
Gems who want the Office in that city
should a change be made, and by Col
lector Summers and Mr. Blair OF TIE
revenue Office in this city, and delega'
tiol from Abingdon.
Judge Page, of Abingdon, and MI
Summers and Others of that delegation
urged the removal of the Office to that
town. Mr.. Glass set forth reasons why
Lynchburg shou d be chosen If change
were made and Mr.. Harlow and Mr..
Rixey argued against the removal of the
Office from this city, stating that the
public building here had just been
enlarged and equipped for the accom-
raodation and convenience of the ot1ce
and that the railroad and mail facilities
of Alexandria made this city desirable
point for its location. The Secretary and
the Commissioner heard the delegations
for fully two hours and stated that they
would announce their decision later.
The general impression among all who
attended the conference was that the
Office would be moved to Abingdon. 1t
is known that Congressman Slemp wants
il there and as be has the ear of Secre-
tary Shaw his request, added that OF Col
lector Summers, will, in all probability,
result in the removal of the office to that
Town

The CIerkship Appointment.

Since the announcement made in the
Gazette Yesterday evening of the ap-
monument by Judge Barley Of Mr.. Chas.
Bendheim as Clerk of the Courts, little
else has been talked about in this city.
The impression prevails that Mr., n. ;.
Sreenaway, the deputy under Mr.. Beach,
should at least have been allowed 10
fill out the nnexpired term and many
people refuse to look at the matter in
any other light. Not the slightest OBJ
lection is raised to Mr.. Bendheim, who
all admit will make a most efficient
clerk. He is popular; competent; has
represented the city in the Legislature;
mas been chairman of the city democrat
,ic committee; has a host OF warm friends
and was endorsed by a majority OF the
democratic committee. Neither is the
right of Judge Barley to appoint Mr..
Bendheim questioned, but Mr. Green
away had the endorsement of a majority
of the bar and many insist that as he
had faithfully filled the position OF
deputy he should at least have been
made clerk for the unexpired term.
This is the state of affairs at the present
writing, but public opinion is very vac
illatinz and tomorrow the p endelum may
swing the other way.

the clustered bridegroom loses the

are some very ancient rings of stone,
through which, in days OF long ago, be-
fore the jewelers. windows glistened
with wedding rings at all prices, the
bride and bridegroom Joined hands, II

ster rings of stone were always there
in readiness for any ceremony, and
they are there to this day, though
whether the present day bride would
consent to use these rings" in place
of the orthodox pledge is doubtful.

There never was a harder master

nothing win" is true proverb, and
sometimes 1t is good guiding prin-

we are profoundly convinced that a
sure dollar is better than a possible
ten dollars; that comfort is always
preferable to wealth in a lottery The
one thing to be avoided above all
