On our way to the Office yes
terday morning about niue
O'Clock, we came up with a group
of ladies who were excitedly
gesticulating and all talking at
once. Amid all the hub-bub we
managed to gather that they had
attempted to get into the Empire
store and make their purchases
before the grand rush for the
bargain sales, and at an early
hour found an immense crowd
before them. One dignlfled
lady did effect an entrance and
made her purchase, but when
she turned to make her exit
found herself packed in. solldly
all around, and in her despera-
ton laid aside her dignity and
actually crawled out under a
table. We sauntered on down
to the door on Central avenue
and saw nothing but sea of
heads which no bargain would
induce us to encounter. We
turned away with not doubt

Wife-Murder.

A Boston millionaire recently deserted
his wife in Norfolk, and although she was
strong, healthy woman at the time she
was so shocked and mortified at the
treatment which she received that she
was physically FRUSTRATED and died. The
surgeons testify, SO the newspaper re-
ports say, that death was due directly to
tho treatment which she received from
her husband. II he had broken her
head or broken her ribs, and she had
tllcd from the effect of her bodily injury,
the man would have boon arrested and
tried for homicide; ms he only broke her
heart the law took no notice, but allowed
him to come to Norfolk and curry the
remains away for burial, without hinder
ing him or asking questions.
It would be difficult to frame a law to
meet case like this. but murder is
murder, no matter how committed; and
when a man cruelty and deliberately
breaks his wife's heart, there ought to
be some lawful way to break that mans
neck.

THE TIAEs DIsPAroH RICHMOND VA TURsAY TEBRUARY

or the public spaces and architectural
vieWs in cities have come to be recog-
nized as of first Importance In those
cities that are making the greatest
progress and the Improvement Is ut
tained by taking advantage Of every
opportunity when any new public
buildings arc 10 bic erected. This IS
shown very strlklngly In tile cases oc
San francisco, Cleveland and WASH
Iingtpll.
Tho first move of San Francisco to-
wards rebuilding after tho earthquake
was to coll In Mr. Burnhnm, Of CHI
cago, the well-lsnown architect, who
OF tho layout OF tho very heart OF
San Francisco. AS soon as tho Garth
quake gave them tho opportunity to
mako this Improvement, they iinme-
diately took tho matter up and arc
adopting these improvements as far
as practicable.
Cleveland likewise is carrying out
a regular plan of grouping hor prn-
ctpal public buildings IN tho formn-
very busiest part Of their city.
The unled states government has
adopted q scheme Of improving Wash
ington by creating splendid park,
with an open vista down tho middle
from the Capitol straight to tho WASH
ington Monument so us to afford n
view OF both. Tho plan contemplntos
| the fixing Of future government build-
ings on both sides OF this park, or
mall, as 1t used to DO called. Those
cities have gone to all this trouble and
| expense to mako these changes be-
cause they fully realize that such I'M
/ proYoments pay.
Now, we people Of Richmond have a
chance to make an Improvement In our
city TINT will be proportionatcly just

drcd thousand dollars, or less
where they are spending millions.

Of Main Street from Tenth to Eleventh
Streets, and q wide approach to tht
Capitol Square through that space, the
view that would strike the eye OF
any one going up or down Main Stree
B would make him take notice." II
would DO tho best thing that we coulc
do to add another really striking
feature to our city, and as the i'm
provement to the appearance of thu
Capitol building and grounds would b.
as great as to the city, we would be
perfectly justified In expecting tn

A Patriotic Combine.

Those members OF tho Board or Alder.
men who combined and stood together in
opposing a sweeping increase of salaries
deserve the thanks and praise of the
people of Richmond; not their censure.
Many time in the history of legisla-
tive bodies there have been combines in
favor of some special interest; but 1t Is
rarely that members have combined In
the interest of the government, Such a
combine was formed, however. when tho
famous Big -Four got together and stood
together to defeat Mahone's schemes
Another was the combine In tho Board of
Aldermen. They are honorable excep-
tons to the rule.
Tho Times-Dispatch believes that in
some cases wages and salaries paid by
the city are too low. 1t must be tho
case unless wages and salaries have been
too high these many years; for every
Councilman knows that the cost of lIv-
ing has enormously increased within the
past several years. The Tlmes-Dlspatch
is sure that the pay OF many teachers is
too low
But the trouble is that when the Coun-
Gil begins to raise salaries the members
begin to roll logs and an increase in
one direction is almost sure to result in
all directions. The patriotic combine has
blocked the game, and The Tlmes-Dis-
patch takes it upon itself to extent a
public vote of thanks to the members
who had the courage and patriotism to
do it.
Now lot each and every case be taken
up separately and disposed of according
conducted by the rules of business, and
| not the rules of politics.
