The Easement Craze.
From the Queen.

from the queen
There is an element which has come
into existence during the last few years
known as new art" The way the tenn
Piles consecrated TO its cult are known
is by their long easements. The chief
article in the credo of the opponents Of
this new art seems to be that you are
all right If YOU have a room with long
ca sement filled up with panes of diamond
loaded glass and a easement curtain
olive green for choice-drawn half way
across the opening.
1t is no matter what the size char
acter of your room may be. 1t must not
have windows, but easements. If you
wish to be accepted as one of the elect
you must also, no matter what the char
acter of your room may be, take care
that the walls are done up in rough
brown paper. as though ii was your In
tention to paste a label OH them and
send them off by express to their desti-
nation when you found time to search
for string.
Now. one of the easement window
is In its right and natural place in a
cottage. the ceilings of which are neces-
sarily low-not. perhaps. so low as those
of the house in Ireland. where nothing
but plaice could be put on the dining
table. but still low enough for the win
dows to be good deal broader than they
are high; 1t is, however, absurdly out
of place in a large apartment, with a
moderately high ceiling.

Accounting.
From the Bookkeeper.

There is wide difference between hon
est accounting and scientific accounting
one may have a record that will honestly
account for every dollar received and ex
pended without having record that will
give any intelligent Information regard
ing the true relation between all economic
factors involved in statements of costs
or of profits and losses. Far greater harm
results from unintelligent than from dis
honest accounting. In practical affairs
unintelligent accounting is the rule, dis
honest accounting the exception The
person. the partnership. the corporation
or the government whose records are kent
by incompetent accountants is the one
from whom ruinous competition is to be
feared. Incompetent accounting Is the
cause of more failures than all other
"a uses combined. There can be no effect
i've economic regulation without scientific
accounting. There can be no scientific
accounting without a grouping of items
that will correctly show the relation to
each other Of every essential economic
factor in all statements of costs.

Cupid's Excursion This Month.

Mrs. Joseph r. CHI. manager of the
Cupid Special a train which she has
been operating from this city to Wash
ngton for the last twenty-five years, will
leave here the morning of March 2S for
Washington. She has already begun ad-
vertising the date.
A number OF Richmond girls have al
ready applied to go on the train, and Mrs
Gill has accepted the position OF chap
eron, as she always does. If there is any
person who can recall when Mrs. Gill did
not take as many a score of youthful
couples from here to Washington on these
Easter excursions the person is not max
ing himself known.
1t is the claim of Mrs. Gill that she does
not recall one unhappy marriage that has
resulted from her parties.
Never excursion from here that is
not watched by mothers and fathers to
see that their daughters do not get away
on them. Just as often they watch
they are disappointed. The lovers gen
orally find way TO get the best of the
old folks.
Some now go from here TO Ashland on
the electric cars and board the Cupid
Special as it passes. Mrs. Gill promises
this year to carry a greater crowd than
she has vet piloted to happiness.

The calendars Of senate and house are

The two bills on the same sub1ect-one

Identical. The house is anxious for the

RICHMOND. Va. March ). 1910
Henry c. Stuart. former corporation COM
missioner and prospective candidate for
governor has been named the candidate of
tho democrats to wrest from Representa-
tive Slemp the seat for the ninth congress
sional district in the national House of
Representatives.
Some representatives in the general as
senbly are not satisfied with Representa-
tive Slemp for agreeing to the appoint
ments of r. w. Fulwiler of Staunton as
marshal for the western district and s.
Brown Allen postmastes
Significant is it that all democrats have
united to support Stuart. The machine"
men have assured him Of Endorsement.
Judge William F. Rhea, who succeeded
Mr.. Stuart on the commission. has writ
ten that Stuart is his choice, that he has
been advising his friends to place him in
nomination. and that he win accord him
cordial support. Senator Thomas s. Mar
tin, regarded by some as the head of the
machine in Virginia has followed suit.
Attorney General Williams, an important
cog in the machine. and his brother,
Judge Martin Williams, are on record,
and have volunteered to go on the stump.
The ninth district is a large territory
and has many counties. Conditions are
not to be found similar in any other part
of the state.
The press throughout the state has
taken up the contest. 1t Is to be made a
state fight. with every speaker available
and all necessary cooperation on the part
of the machine and the anti-machine.
Some republican offfceholders claim to
see In this nomination an effort to weaken
Stuart in the next gubernatoriaA contest.
They express belief that he Is to be given
the knife, the desire being to demonstrate
that he cannot carry his own district.
This view is not entertained by the re-
pubHcans from the ninth district.
Chairman Ellyson Of the state demo-
cratic committee expresses the opinion
that Stuart will be elected.

SAYS THE BOSS
MCCandIesS Starts Out EIec-
ton Day BY Getting Sore
at County Committee.

Lack of cooperation between the
two Democratic political organiza-
tions. the county campaign organiza-
ton and the McCandless machine,
was evident today shortly after the
polls opened. Il resulted In No
Candless declaring, to group of
his paid workers at Democratic head
qu ters, that Colonel Mccarthy and
the county campaign committee We're
ia owing him down"
McCandless was out bright and
carly this morning in machine,
making a round of all the city ire
Ciucts. When he got back To head
Quarters he complained that In IA
couple of pre- incts the autom ')les
that had been assigned for duty in
getting laggard voters to the polling
places had not appeared. lie con
strued this as an act of negligence
on the part of the county committee,
and us in both those precincts he
had men he wanted taken to the
polling booths, he felt that the com
mittee was not supporting him.
After he had made his complaint
at headquarters. McCandless told 4
group of his sympathizers outside
that the county campaign manage
ment was not trying to elect him
As a matter of fact, 1t was currently
reported this morning that many OF
the Democrats runners had refused
to boost" for McCandlnss at the last
minute. so there is probably som'
truth in his complaints.

SOUGHT IN VAIN
FOR BENEFITS
Filipino Collects Monies But
Failed to Make
Payments.

Those Filipinos and other planta-
ton laborers who have for the past
four months been contributing to-
wards the running expenses of a So
ciallstic organization headed by one
Guzman, Filipino, may have just
cause TO wonder at an unjust ana
perserve world.
The payment of an initiation fee
amounting to fifty cents. and
monthly contribution of n quarter OF
dollar. have been levied from n
number Of workers on various island
plantations, according TO results OF
an investigation that has just been
concluded by Chief of Detectives Nc
Duiile.
Guzman was placed under deten-
tion this morning, following n quiz.
zing by the chief.
lie Is held ut the station In lieu
of a satisfactory bond and may come
up for arraignment tomorrow.
II Is claimed that GuZman has
been engaged in collecting small sti-
ponds from his countrymen as well
as laborers of other nationalities.
A Porto Rican came in from one
of the plantations down the railroad
last night and entered complaint
Guzman was found this morning at
the Public Works machine shop. Ac-
cording to the Porto Rican complain
ant. one of the objects of the newly
formed organization was to care for
| those members who might through
accident have become disabled and
untitled for continuing their labor
in the field or in the shop.
The payment of two-bits each
month insured the member month
| ly benefit amounting to one-half OF
his regular salary.
Owing to the fact that there had
been several applicants for benefits
many paying members commenced to
look to Guzman, the recognized head
OF the organization for relief. When
this was not forth oming, they car
ried their complaints to the police.
II is claimed that the organization
also included the Island of Hawaii
within its scope.
