commencement exercises OF the high
school at Larim0re next Wednesday
evening.
The pathological laboratory is in
receipt of some splendid gross mate
rial from Chicago. With this in hand,
work In this department Is progress
ing rapidly.
The medical college of the univer-
sity has now been admitted to the as
sociatiOn of American colleges of
medicine. 1t seems that there were
ten applications for admission, out of
versity is certainly to be congrat-
ulated upon being one of the favored
four. This will place the institution
on an equal footing with the best
colleges in the land.
Men Wanted.
To the disgruntled young man who
thinks that the worlds work has
young mans opportunity Is thing of
the past and that nothing Is left in
the world. Of activity but mental SER
vice. the following letter. to Profess
sor Brannon, from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, at Boston,
should serve as an inspiration:
Dear Professor Brannon-The last
three years the institute has had great
difficulty in meeting the demands
made upon it for men trained in san
itary and Industrial biology and in
sanitary engineering, and, in view of
this fact, venture to address you,
hoping that If you know of any prom
Using young men graduating this year
who have leaning toward applied
biology, and especially bacteriology.
or who are uncertain what to do in
the future, you will recommend them
to consider the training offered by the
institute in the lines mentioned above.
There is already, and is likely to
be still more in the future. a steady
and growing demand for sanitary bac-
teriologists and sanitary engineers.
qualified to fill positions with boards
of health, either state or municipal,
water boards. sewerage commissions,
consulting engineers, testing labor
atories, ETC., and l have reason to be-
lieve that this field is likely, in the
future, to become much larger. We
have within a fortnight had requests
for several young men (beginners) at
$1,000 to $4,000 each and two more
for men, of some experience, at $780,
600 EACH"
1t is evident that here is great
field of work. And the young man
who prepares himself today will be
the man of tomorrow.

A Marked Botanical Specimen.

N. R. Hurley, of Walhalla, has do
mated to the university museum a
very unique botanical specimen, which
consists of an oak slab two inches
thick. bearing on it's inner surface the
raised letters of surveyors scarf
ings. These were made about thirty
years ago. Two inches Of solid wood
have since then grown over the fiat
surface made by the surveyor. yet the
letter form on the new wood are per-
fectly legible.

Dear Sir
In response to your letter Of the 5th,
take pleasure in sending you copy Of

81 see no reason why this Company
should not permit the use of these lights

kept in an air tight steel tank, and it is
forced to the lamps by air pressure

Progress

Seems to be the slogan of the First
National Bank of this town. The Direc-
tors are wide awake business men, who
don't believe in the ''let we'll enough
alone" policy. They have been "hustling"
for business and they have secured it.
The Directors are now constructing an
other vault to receive a safe Of the Mos
Ter" type This safe is claimed by the
Mosler people as absolutely burglar
proof, that is it will withstand any at
tack which can be made on it in one
night The Bank is again inviting new
customers. The President says any one
who can get Five Dollars together should
bring it to the Bank, as ne recognizes
the fact that all banks prefer the small
customer Every courtesy will be shown
aud all are welCome.--Adv.

POLLARD TO ASK
FOR NEW CENSUS
Subchairman Of Finance Commit
tee Wants City's Population
Known.
Known.

Councilman II. r. Pollard, Jr., Of Lee
Ward, has drawn and Will Introduce
at the meeting OF the Council next
Monday night an ordinance or resolu-
ton proposing that a census OF the
city Of Richmond may be taken with
the least practicable delay, and appro-
priating $4,000 to defray the cost Of
the enumeration.
The proposition OF Mr.. Pollard has
been almost universally commended.
The recent widespread publication OF
estimates madeln some mysterious way
by the census bureau and by them pro-
mulgated. placing the population of
the city at only about $1,000 has mis-
represented this community and It's
Importance. 1t is with a View to maxi
ing known to the world the true popu-
lation Of Greater Richmond Of to-day
that MIR. Pollard now asks for
special appropriation and an immediate
enumeration. His idea Is to make the
census thorough, and with this pur.
pose he proposes to have employed
only experienced and thoroughly capa-
BILE men.
| that the Pollard resolution Will go
through with rush, and no more
| doubt that an accurate census VIII
place Richmond's population at H.
| 900 or more.
