Not to Attend Inauguration
A dispatch from Washington Of

last Saturday says:
General Scott Ship, superinten-
dent of the Virginia Military In
stitute, the cadets of which have
participated in ceremonies all over
the country, came to Washington
yesterday to arrange for the APP
pearance of 800 of his soldier boys
at the inaugural parade and has
returned to Virginia greatly dis
appointed over his failure to pro
vide for their representation on a
suitable basis.
In the first place, he found that
the only hotel at which they could
be accommodated wanted to charge
$3.50 a meal for each man, or
$3.50 meal for the 800 cadets.
Visiting the War Department with
General Fitznugh Lee, the super
intendent Of the Institute heard
from General Chaffee that the
formal order assigning organlza-
tons in line had been Issued and
could not be changed. Under this
order the Virginia Military In
stitute cadets would follow the
Washington High School cadets
at the end OF the line. AS the
Virginia institution has been re-
garded as the West Point OF the
South 1t was desired that it's
cadets should follow the West
Point cadets. When General
Shipp left Washington he an
nounced that the Virginia cadets
would not participate in the pa
rade.

nected with the Weather Bureau

that State. which is typical of the
climate OF the Middle Atlantic

Servie, twenty years. During
that time he has been located in
Michigan, Cincin-
natl, Kansas City, Davenport, la. !;
Baltimore, Nd; Paris, France;
Chicago and this city. He is a
native of Lexington, Va.
Mr.. Walz, since his short stay
in Louisville, has already made
many friends. He has predicted
all sorts of wea ther. and his pre-
iictions have come true. BY his
accuracy he is fast gaining the
confidence of the Louisville public,
who consider him worthy success
cor to the genial Major Jersey.
Mr.. Wall met his wife, who was
Miss Ella Belle Hays, while on a
visit to Major Hersey in this city. |
He welcomed his transfer to Louis
5ille on her account, but since hsv-
ing located here he has come to
welcome the transfer on his own
account.
II think shall be satisfied to
pend the remainder of my days
