FOR SHIRT FACTORY EMPLOYEES
Nearly $500 Realized From Benefit
Performance at Opera House.

While there was good sized audience
at the Opera House Wednesday night
for the benefit of the Shirt Factory
employees, there should have been a
packed house for so worthy an object.
1t was, however, very cold night and
a number who had bought tickets did
not 90 out for that reason.
The entertainment was a success.
Sweet music was rendered by the Col
lege Orchestra, led by Prof. F. A.
Franklin. Moving pictures were shown
between the acts.
The Venetian Princess, under the
management of Miss Idear Traylor,
which was presented several weeks ago
for the benefit of the Mary Washing
ton Hospital. was decidedly pleasing. The
solos of Miss Mason and duet between
Miss Traylor and Mr.. Pritchard were
features of the evenieg and received
encores. The dancing, drills and march
ing were also attractive. Miss Traylor,
Miss Mason and others were the re-
cipients Of beautiful flowers. and Miss
Bradley, the pianist, was given by the
company a small Xmas tree, on which
was miniature furniture for the kitchen
and the pantry.
The sum of S2Sl was realized for the
benefit fund and this may be Increased,
through contributions. TO $500.

He was appointed United States
Commissioner for the Eastern district
of Virginia by Judge Edmund Waddill,
Jr., Of Richmond, on Oct. 10th, 1905,
which position he has since filed ably
and acceptably 10 lawyers and laymen.
He vacates this position upon entering
upon his new duties as Commemorative
attorney Of the city Of Fredericks-
burg.
Mr.. Butzner, while always an avowed
and active Republican, conscientiously
and profoundly believing in the princi-
pies Of his party, has never been Of
fensively partizan. He is an open,
clean and fair fighter, who can always
be found at his post uncompromisingly
battling with the Democrats Yet. for
his manly and gentlemanly traits of
head and heart, Mr. Butzner has many
true and earnest friends among the
Democrats which was attested by the
fact that in a city normally Democratic
by nearly two hundred majority out of
a vote Of 500, he won over a popular
and consistent Democrat.
The election Of Mr.. Butzner resulted
from a feeling of many good citizens
that whether agreeing or disagreeing
with him in National and State politics,
his clean and good citizenship, his open,
manly and frank stand in all matters
affecting the public, his fitness and
splendid qualifications for the Office,
his fine qualities Of head and heart, his
loyalty and gratitude for deserved
favors, gave him a claim on their votes
and support that no political differences
could offset
1t can safely be predicted that Mr..
Butzner will make an able, painstaking,
effective and satisfactory Common
wealth's attorney.
