ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
Inquiries for Manufacturing Sites
Up to Railroad People.

Several real estate agencies IN Rich
mond are receiving inquiries from manu-
.facturers OF various products. who are ex--
pressing desire to locate In this city
II they can get a chance.
y Main Street real estate agency yes
terday showed a Times-Dispatch man a
letter he has from n concern that au-'
parently wishes to locate here ,iile.
writer OF this letter does not ask any
bonus, does not require any local sub
scriptions to stock and In fact does not
ask any favors at all. He simply wants

turing site.

terial and load up cars with finished

ton will suit him. Ile wants that or
nothing. If he can get that he Will come
to Richmond, otherwise he will seek an
other location.
The real estate agency which has this
reasonable inquiry said to The Times
Dispatch man: I'VE know of no such
location within the corporate limits of
Richmond or out in the suburbs We
would be glad to hear of one
1t is Just possible. indeed 1t is prob
able, that the railways could remedy on
evil that the remark of the real estate
man suggests is in existence. Are the
railroads doing as much as they might
to advance the interest of Richmond?
That seems to be a pertinent question.
They have lots of privileges and miles
of trackage In the city, much of which
latter might he lined with manufactures

to William Rueger, an owl. A note ac-
companied the shipment. which said that
the owl had been captured in the usual
way and was offered for sale. The
suggestion was made that possibly Mr..
Rueger might need such IL pet az an
additional attraction to his restaurant.
Fresh oysters. quail and Smithficld hams
are greater attractions In Mr.. Ruegers

in the meantime. Mr.. Rueger fed the bird
and found II one of the most raYenous
customers that ever stopped over at his
place, The owl boarded free for a week
but didn't seem to like tho fare At any
rate the bird found tho cage open sun
day morning. and proceeded to make its
escape. 1t flew direct to one OF the
tallest trees in Capitol Square and there
spent Sunday, much to the terror OF the
SQUIRRELS. At night the bird opened up
Its big round eyes looked over towards
Manchester. spread It's wings. and flew
away across the James, and is now
/ doubtless enjoying owl freedom In the
forests OF old Chesterfield county.
Yesterday Mr.. Rueger mailed bill to
the shipper for the forty cents express
| charges. Maybe he will get an early re-
mittance-maybe lie VIII not.
The moral OF this story is that the
owl market in Richmond IS very dull and
future shipments had better be held
back. for a while at least. "

TO CHANGE HOURS
OF THE SCHOOLS
Many in Favor of Changing
Closing Hour to Two
O'clock.

AT the regular meeting OF the princ-
pals and teachers of the public schools
this afternoon nj o'clock in the Cen
trail school. there Will be discussed. be-
sides other matters. n movement now on
foot to close the schools at 2 o'clock in
stead OF at 8. or really at 2:45 o'clock.
A resolution drawn up by the grade
teachers says that the strain of the
present hours IL too great both upon the
children and the teachers. The remedy
TINT they would offer is that the hours
should be shortened, but made up in a
frightening OF the school term Ths
school board has the matter under adj
Yisement. and committee, consisting of
the superintendent and assistant SUPER
intendent has been appointed TO look
into the matter.
II is pointed out that this same move
nlcnt was brought out a year or year
and half ago. and that 4, was then
thought iuadvisablc. So whether Il DIFF
ferent opinion will hold now seems some
what doubtful. as the same general con-
ditlons exist now then, Practically
any change in the hours would mean the
shortening of the present hours by only
about three-quarters OF an hour. and
whether that would be advisable in the
eyes OF the school board remains 10 be
seen.
On the other hand, IL ia pointed out
that a great benefit would accrue TO the
children from the shorter hours. They
would be enabled 10 have hot dinners:
the meals would be not so closely crowded
together: there would be less nervous
strain, and the children that so desir.
would be enabled 10 have their music
lessons in the early afternoon, thing
which is now prohibited by The present
hours.
The matter Will come up to-day in the
teachers meeting, and it is probable that
they Will make some recommendation 10
the school board
