MAKES APPEAL FOR
SH0CK0E Cemetery.
Superintendent Davis Says Walks
Are Being Neglected by
Property Owners.

Mr.. George B. Davis, superintendent or
Sbockoe Cemetery, appeals to the own
ers of Shockoc Cemetery to improve their
SECTIONS. Says Mr., Davis:
About one-fifth take the proper care
OF them. There are two thousand sec
ton owners, and about twenty-one thou
sand persons are buried In the cemetery.
The small and large wnlkways constitute
about seven miles to be kept in condition
by two men, and If the owners of sec
lions will take the proper interest the
cemetery will be greatly improved. The
1T was opened to the public in 1892, and,
next to ST. Johns, is the Oldest in the
city. Multiplied scores ofsprominent peo-
pie, who helped to make Richmond, are
buried there. Such notables as Chief
Justice Marshall, Judges Meredith and
Crlmp, the Amblcrs. Stnnards, Nayos,
Caskics, General Mcdonald, Peter Fran
cisco, and thousands Of others who have
written their names in the hearts'of the
people. For over fifty years Shockoo
Cemetery was q source of revenue to the
city, but of late years the numbers great
ly reduced. AS we have no space to sell,
1t should behoove all citizens who are IN
torested to do what they can to improve
and perpetuatc this hallowed ground.
Let the young people visit old Shockoe
and read the epitaphs Of men and noble
women, who in their lives scattered beau
tiful flowers over the hills and valleys
of Rchmond-nen and women of noble
deeds and genuine charity, whose frag-
rance even in fond memory will prove
an Inspiration to them.'

H. ~
II O'Clock mass, n very large congrega-
ton assembled there to hear him.
The Bishops theme was ''rhe Gospel
Of tho Day and he handled the subject
in an eloquent and most earnest manner.
He combatted the theory that God Is
indifferent TO His children. and that he
surrounds them with laws of nature anu
then leaves them to themselves to shift
with those laws as best they may. The
Bishop drew illustrations from Scripture
10 show that God interests Himself in
what we may term the most trivial af-
faire of His children, and never allows
the prayer of the most lowly to go un-
needed In illustrating this part of his
argument he related instances of miracu-
lous cures Of disease and nfirmities that
he knew were made directly in answer
to prayer.

The Irish flag was in evidence generally while Irishmen and Englishmen in London fraternIzed and sported bunch es of real or imitation shamrock in which the street vendors did a rushing business throughout the day.
 In Ireland, of course, celebrations were general In Dublin and other cities young and old, rich and poor wore the green and tonight the pri- vate and public social functions in the capital were even more notable than usual. especially brilliant being the state ball at the castle. which was att tended by leading Irish families from all over the island.
 Queen Alexandra recognized the day by giving sprigs of shamrock to the entire Irish Guard stationed at Chelsea barracks.
 The Irish industries exhibition in London was opened this afternoon by Princess Christian of Schleswig-Hol- stein. who was accompanied bv the Duchess of Marlborough.
