R1cHMoND,s PROGRESS.

The bank cleariags in Richmond for
,i.e past week were sI,3ss. 600. an in
crease Of 7.s per cert. over the corre-
spending period OF last year, and the
largest in the history of Richmond
banking, so far as we. can recall. When
it is considered that this record was
made at time when the whole coun-
try was in the throes of a money
squeeze. the figures are all the NOR
significant and scarcely less than
amazing. But Richmond is built upon
solid foundations.and /, requires some
thing more than furry in the
money market" t. shake them, or I'M
pede her growth. city that is found
ed upon the bedrock of sound bank
ing and solid business cannot be move d

yulsion in trade.
The clearings of Norfolk also show a
notable increase, and We believe that

business conditions generally in the
Old Dominion.

a NEW rpENCH REVOLUTION.

beauties" have disappeared from
are no longer esteemed there. So says
London correspondent OF tho New
York Evening Post, who writes his
paper that NJ. Marcel Provost, In the
Paris Figaro. has made 1t plain that
the reign OF beauty is at an end. To
tell n woman that she Is beautiful,
says NJ. Provost, would he to annoy
her. 1t would set hcr wondering
whether she we're not putting on flesh.
Beau" and belle" we arc told, are
already con the way to acquire tho
inverted sense that worthy has dome
to have in English"
Nowadays, elegance" is the thing
Nothing else counts for much. Assert
in a salon full OF French fashion, that
Nine. X is the most beautiful woman
In Paris. and no ono Will care to dis
pute the point with you. They will
merely set you down as bit crude
and not yet quite versed in the ways
of the world. But declare that Madame
* is the ''most elegant" woman in
Paris and some friend OF Madame Us
may break your head for you.
In Paris beauty without elegance,
which is to say without that intangi-
BILE quality, composite OF both clothes
and person. which Americans some-
what odiously describe as style" COM
mands no position whatever A love-
ly face Is n bagatelle. "If she be elc-
giant as we'll as beautiful" snys this
authority. "she counts exactly accord
ing to the degrec OF her elegance" Hint
that lady does not know how to dress
her hair, and she will strike you in
anger from her at home list.
Paris made something OF a reputa-
ton as a revolution originator IN the
years around 1889. She Is sustaining
that reputation in this year OF our Lord
1907. This revolution. like that one.
is in behalf of pure democracy, fatty
against prerogative, monopoly and
privilege. Beauty is prerogative.
Beauty Is monopoly. Beauty is the
greatest special privilege in the world.
It is the only thing discovered in the
history OF man that could make a
princess out OF a begsar maid. 1t is
one quality which money cannot buy,
nor cunning counterfeit.
With possession OF this sort there
is only one thing for those who have
not got 1t to do. That is to discount
it. That Is to shift standards so that
it will not count for much. That is
just what the willy Parisiennes are
doing. 1t was what they did in 1883
and the years following with privileges
of different sort. Then they used the
guillotine Now they are doing 1t with
woman's wit and cultivated taste and
the charming arts of the milliner. But
revolution is revolution because OF
its effects, and not by reason OF the
manner OF its doing.

The gratifying statement Is pub

direct shipment Of 100000 Of gold has
been made from London to Richmond
by the Imperial Tobacco Company.
While the bank clearings OF Richmond

does not count as very big figure. yet
the fact that Richmond. by its COM

land in financial emergency is great
tribute to the merit of our banks and
TO the wisdom and force of our busi-

"wITNEss-BEARLNG.Y

(Selected for The Times-Dispatch.)
There was a man sent from God:
the same came for a witness. to
bear witness of the Light."-St John,
!. s. Z.
A man sent from God to bear wit
ness-that was surely vast machine
~ for a very trivial end!
We could understand a man sent
from God TO give a revelation, or to
make great discovery, or to be re-
deemer. But just to bear witness to
easy thing? a thing which any man
could do?
On the contrary, 1t Is the most diff
cult, especially II the belief happens
to be unfathomable. We are apt to
think that John was specially prepared,
and that only John could bear witness.
Yet to every one of us Is given tho
same message and opportunity. Tho
question then arises, Do we faithfully
use It?
Suppose YOU know a man misrcpre-
scented by his enemy, and that enemy
one whom sou wish to concillate; Is 1t
easy to speak out? You find 1t safer
not Ito bear witness; you keep silent.
The sin of society is said to be evil
speaking. 1t is not SO much that as a
| failure to speak the truth.
You sit beside one at dinner who
dwells upon the fault of another. You
know that 1t Is a pleasure to The
speaker, for he does not like the MAN

The grand jury OF Augusta county
recently investigated the books OF the
commissioners Of the revenue. with
a view to ascertaining whether or not
property owners had correctly reported
their personal effects for taxation. AS
a result OF these Investigations a num-
Der of property owners including
prominent business men and farmers,
were summoned to appear before the
grand jury to be examined as to the
amount of their taxable property
which they have failed to report to
the commissioner
This is good example, and grand
jurles in all the counties and cities
of the State should take similar &C
ton. That is the most practicable way
to equalize assessments.
