made by the council at the commit.
tees request, the city being fully
equipped with walks, street sigma
and house numbers, and there can
be no question of the trend of their
report to be submitted to the postal
department.
In their work in behalf of the
project the committee found that
from some unknown source reports
of a detrimental nature had reach.
ed the department, and IL required
no little effort on their part to prop
erly enlighten the postal officials
as to existing conditions, but the
flattering compliments bestowed
by the inspectors relative to all e.
sential points insures a report des-
tined to eliminate past prejudices
on the part of the depar' ment.
During their visit to the city it 10
understood Messrs. Monroe aud
Lucia mapped out three carrier
routes and also received permission
from the city authorities to install
necessary posts and boxes on Chest
nut street.
In conversation with Chairman
Bickford, of the Commercial Club
committee on Friday last, Congress-
man Bede lent further assurance to
the success of the committees work
by the statement that the 1908 ap-
preparation would doubtless pro-
vide funds tor the improvement
sought.
This move will be appreciated by
the citizens of Virginia, placing tho
city in it's proper sphere among tho
progressive cities of the state.

ENTERTAINMENT A GRAND SUCCESS
A Crowded House 6reets the Misses
Murphy at the Fay Opera Jues-
day Eveaiaq.

The St. Patrick's Day concer, and
entertainment at the Fay Opera on
Tuesday evening, given under the
direction of the Misses Murphy for
the benefit OF Our Lady of Lourdes
Church, was a deserved success, the
spacious hall being crowded to the
doors and many being compelled
to stand throughout the evening.
The program throughout was a
most enjoyable one, the Misses Muir
ply possessing wonderful and
pleasing voices and being ably as
sisted by Miss Gertrude DeNoble
and Messrs. Hare, Snider and
N. A. and D. T. Murphy, the appre-
citation of the audience being ex-
pressed in repeated encores to each
number.
The lecture number of the evening
was to have been given by the Hon.
Martin Hughes, of Hibbing, but
owing to business matters demand
ing his attention at Duluth he was
unable to be in attendance, and the
number was we'll and creditably
filled by Attorney N. Is. Lennon, of
Eveleth, who spoke at length on
matters of historical fact regarding
the Irish race and the proud posi-
ton held by descendants of the Gel.
tic race in the world of today, his
address showing a deep study of
his subject.
The Maypole Dance, by sixteen
little girls led by Misses Margaret
Savage and Jennie DeNoble, receiv-
ed deserved ovation, while little
Misses Margaret Norma Murphy
and Eleanor Hughes, who occupied
seats of honor at the Maypole Par.
ty, were rightly the center of attrac-
tion for all eyes. The Irish Jig in
costume was also an appreciated
number of the program. the respec-
tive parts being we'll taken by each
participant.
The program throughout was one
of special merit and reflected credit
alike on the Misses Murphy and
other participants for their ability,
and it is the earnest hope of attend
ants that they may oftener be af-
forded an opportunity of listening
to entertainments of similar char
acter.

and less public improvements of a
substantial nature. The committee
was highly complimented on ito
work, and upon motion the report
was accepted and the president in
structed to appoint committees for
the presentation of same to the var
ious company representatives.
The report of A. E. Bickford, w.
E. Hannaford and H. v. Peterson,
appointed by ex-President Tredway

push the free delivery system, gave
evidence of the attention given their
charge and were enabled to submit
a report with every assurance of the
successful culmination of their ef-
forts at an early date.
The committee having in charge
the banquet arrangements reported
the securing of Hon. c. B. Miller as
one of the speakers of the evening,
and assurance of the attendance of
some representative of the State
Federation of Commercial Clubs In
a similar capacity. All arrange
ments for the entertainment are
now complete, and it il the desire
of the committee in charge that all
prospective attendants either pur.
chase or speak for tickets before
Saturday evening. that the proprie-
tors of the New England may be
apprised of the number of their
prospective guests. Tickets may
be had upon application to Secre.
tary Hughes or to Messrs. CT halmers,
Laviolette or Rinnert, members OF
committee in charge.
A report from the committee on
home rule charter stated that at a
committee meeting Monday even.
ing, after a consideration of several
points, it was decided by unanimous
vote that home rule charter would
be advantageous to the city's inter.
ests, and the Club will doubtless

Al Open letter to NJ. Piqott.

I. The undersigned, as two of the
hotel men of the city of Virginia,
strenuously object to the uncalled
for advertising accorded the hotel
men of the city by Mr.. c. &.
Pigott, of the City Meat Market,
in the last issue of the Vir.
ginian, in which he states that the
hotel men of the city, at the time
the "peddlers and box-car mer-
chants" brought their wares to Vir-
ginia, deserted the Legitimate deal
ers and paid cash for the meats
bought of these outside men, while
they let the local dealers wait for a
settlement of account from 1.-TWO to
six months"
As two of the hotel men, who are
classed under the one heading in
the article from the pen of Mr..
Pigott, we desire to openly state
tor his benefit and for the purpose
of placing ourselves right before
sAAO PuO1IIS A11dA uC1SAlCA E1A. Z A&OAS
or any other meat dealer of this
city has ever had to wait on US, or
either of us, for from 1.-TWO to six
months" or from two to elk minutes
after the presentation of an account
to obtain a full and complete settle
meut of same.
Az to other hotel men of the city,
4 or az to their credit or method of
payment, we know not, but we deem
1t q duty to ourselves to publicly
refute the charges made insofar as
the same might be applied to us,
and consider that Mr.. Pigott is enti-
tied to offer us an apology in the
same manner in which he proffered
the insult to our good name and
credit among the citizens of Vir-
7 ginia. Us. SUTHERLAND.
