Aid For Farmers.

That a large amount of legisla
ton is going to be enacted at this
session pertaining to the agri-
cultural interest of the common
wealth is very evident. Many
measures having as their aim di.
rect benefits for the farmers have
been offered, and will be taken up
for consideration IN the commit
tees during the latter part of the
week.
Chief IN interest, perhaps, is
the proposed system of rural
high schools through the means
of which, children in the rural
districts will be given the same
educational benefits as those in
the separate school districts. 1t
will take a bond issue of several
million dollars to establish this
proposed system, but it has met
with decided favor among the
la vmakers, and will be urged for
early consideration.
An enlargement of the farmers
institute system has also been
proposed, and one very important
bill on this subject has been of.
fered by Representative Afford
OF Pike county, carrying an ap.
preparation of 81 500 per annum
for institute work proper.

SOCIETY NOTES.

There has probably been no
feature of the Sunday newspaper
which has grown so in recent
years as the society" depart
ment.
Nearly all the big metropolitan
newspapers now publish the so.
c,al news OF towns hundreds of
m les away, and we venture that
10 class of news contained in the
big dailies is devoured with keen
er interest by the feminine
readers.
If society news has done moth.
ing else, it has at least opened an
ave III. by which thousands ge
their names into print, who
would not otherwise do s.. In
the general ne ws the debutante
who is now given half column
or so would receive no mention,
let alone the army Of lads and
lassies who make up the lesser
items.
The social column, If we are
not mistaken, was the invention
of the late Mrs. Nicholson, of the
New Orleans Picayune. For a
number of years the Picayune
was the only paper in this sec
tion that gave space to social
news, but after while other
newspapers took 1t up. Today
there few papers that do not pub
lish society column. For many
years the New York Sun r1dicul-
ed the custom, but, it too, has
fallen into line, though it confines
Its news to the Four Hundred.
The New York Herald tries to
cover the United States.
Whether merltorious or other.
wise the society column is today
an institution and newspapers
generally as well as newspaper
readers may as we'll so recog-
nlze it.

tized version Of Anthony Hopes ro-
nance. In the mounting OF this, tho
opening production, the question OF
expense seems not to have been con-
sldered. This, however. seems to be
the policy OF Mr. Giffen in regard to
all of his productions, and is charac-
teristic Of the man. The Academy
stage last week presented a scene of
activity such as has been seldom wit
messed In that houseA Stage mechanics
IN every line known to that craft were
busy getting everything IN readiness
for the opening, and as the. work prog
ressed. 1t was impossible not to be-
come a little enthusiastic at the pros
pect.
The Giffcn Company.
The membership Of the company,
with which Kichmonders will no. doubt
be quite familiar within week. is
as follows: Miss Margaret Fuller Miss
Lucille La Verne, Miss Pauline Whit
son, Miss Mildred Johnson, Miss ia
met Dunbar, Frank Patton, Hardee
Kirkland, Theodore Hamilton. Stanley
Dark, Frederick Powell, K. A. Rob-
|erts. Ralph Morgan, John j. Burke.
Jonn Prescott. Charles Salt and AL
roberts. Maxine Reynolds will play
enid roles. and should form quite d
valuable addition to the company. as
there are many plays in which such
parts are quite prominent. Miss
Grayce Scott, as already announced.
will join the company about the list
OF May.
MISS Margaret Fuller is one of the
best emotional actresses in this coun
try. She is endowed with that degree
OF womanliness which at once appeals
to an audience, and she possesses Il
most charming personality. Those of
her sex Will be doubly interested in
the fact that she is known as one of
the best-dressed women on the stage.
Miss Fuller has been in many of the
best productions. and has been a lead
ing member of the companies of Kyrle
Bellew and N. c. Goodwin. Next sea-
son she will be under the management
OF Daniel Frohman. In the production
OF The Prisoner of Zenda" Miss Fuller
Will play Flavia.
Mr.. Frank Patton will replace Mr.
Warwick, the latter being called TO
the bedside of his father, who is Ill
in San Francisco. Mr.. Patton is both
young and handsome, and should in
every way meet the requirements
which are usually expected of Il lead
ing man.
Ing and he Will no doubt make him
self popular at the very start. He
was formerly in the company of James
Hacket:. and has played that actors
parts.
Mr.. Hardee Kirkland is one of the
foremost actors Of to-day, having had
q wide experience and a long career
in the best companies. He is a broth
err of Odette Tyler. and a son Of Cen
eral kirkland, who was in command
at Atlanta when Sherman made his
famous march to the sea. He has a
very dominating personality and great
reserve, and his acting is marked by
perfection OF detail and finish.
An Old-sch6oI Actor.
Mr.. Theodore Hamilton belongs to
the old school of actors, and was a
member of the Richmond Stock Com
pany in the Joseph Jefferson days. In
his long career he has played with
every star of any prominence. He pos
sesses great dignity of bearing, has a

THE SPANISH SWINDLE"
(1utjgua Standard

The local Government has received q Cir
cular Despatch from the Secretary of State,
giving warning against being duped by a
system of frauds known by the name which
forms the above caption. Quoting from
the despatch:
"This fraud, which is practised by a gang
of Spanish thieves, is almost invariably car
ried out on the following lines; an individual
purporting to act as the executor of some
person who has recently died in a Spanish
prison, writes to the intended victim stating
that the deceased prisoner has left q sum of
money to his relative-the intended victim
o. the condition that the latter will adopt
ind care for his orphan child.
''But, before the money and child can be sent,
it is necessary that the executor should re-
ceive q sum of money-generally between
fifty pounds and one hundred pounds-In
order to defray the legal expenses connect
ed with the prisoners will. Needless to saw
once the money has been sent, nothing more
is heard of the alleged legacy.
The swindlers have for several years past
found easy victims in various countries, in
GLIDING Great Britain, and although Numerous
cases are brought to the notice of the Span
ish Government, it has never yet been pos
sible to obtain u conviction of the offenders"
