ceived in TIE theatres OF that city. In
evidence of that statement he relates
that he and a friend attempted to pur-
chase "25-cent seats at a certain
place of amusement, but was informed
at the boN-oflice that nothing but so
cent seats could be had, although white
men were at the time purchasing the
cheaper tickets of admission. This
complaint serves well to illustrate the
difference between the North's way and.
the South's way Of dealing with tho
negro. Down here we draw the line

1t is with profound sorrow that The
Times-Dlspatoh chronicles the death
Of Colonel Wilfred L. Cutsfaw, who
for SO long time filed the position of
City Engineer in Richmond. AS soldier
OF the Confeieraoy, as citizen as city
ofiicial-in all the relations of life-he
heard no call but that of duty and
never heard that call without giving
heed and willing response. There
were those who criticized his engineer
ing work. but none who impeached his
motives or questioned his integrity. He
was pure in his personal life, and his
official record is without faint or sus-
p:cion. He had the complete confidence
Of his fellow citizens, and. better still,
he deserved It, In his long and faith
tul service to this community, his name
was never connected in remote degree
with any graft. trickery, false dealing,
or shady transaction. Mistakes he
made. for he was human but they were
errors of judgment, and insignificant
in comparison with the intelligent and
efficient service lie rendered No man
was more conscientious in his work,
and he planned and builded for a per.
manent and progressive city. His de-
Setion to Richmond and to all her in
terests was his controlling passion and
ftdelity his rule of conduct. Richmond
has had few public servants more eff.
Gent and useful and none moro loyal
and faithful.
The Times-Dispatch sincerely hopes
that the city may be able to find an
engineer of the same high character to
Ill the position which Colonel Cutshaw
has made a post OF honor. II the
standard of public service set by Col
onel Cutshaw could be maintained. he
