ONE TRIED To
FOLLOW THE LAW

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
LYNCHBURG, VA, Jan. 9.--~The
dispositions made by the registrars of
the city this morning in the local OPP.
ton contest brought out the fact that
only one of them had attempted To
conform with the provisions OF the
constitution. The violation OF the con-
stitutional provisions were in connec-
ZION WITH the elections clause provid-
ing for, a written application made
without assistance and In writing by
the person wanting to vote. Accord
ing to the statements made to-day by
registrars, with one exception. they
had not required a written application
in any instance since the law went
into effect.
The registration here in this re-
spect seems therefore to conform ex-
actly with the methods under the old
Anderson Mccormick law prior to
1904.
Even the single exception. viii was
shown to have tried to conform with
the law, did not do so. according to
district construction. Instead OF re-
quiring the applications in writing he
had forms printed which could bo
filed out by inserting the name, ara.
etc. Adjournment was taken until
next Monday In the taking OF dcpo.

Fortnight MORE
FOR THE GREAT CIRCUS

Only a fortnight more remains for
the Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth at Madison Square
Garden. The patronage OF the show
this year has surpassed that of any of
several seasons and the attendance
has been especially marked by the
presence Of a large number of the
social elect, the boxes presenting a
spectacle embracing almost all the
faces in the parterre and grand
tiers of the Metropolitan Opera
oHuse, so that the horse" opera is
a continuation of the season of Grand
Opera. New York has EVE seen q
show like this before; that is, where
there have been so many high class
acts on one program. Instead of
presenting some n mechanical
thriller as a drawing card, the man
agement has wisely and much to the
satisfaction of the public engaged
the leading artists OF the circus world
in every department.
The Barnum and Bailey show Will
not exhibit in any Of the New Jersey
towns this season. After its engage
ment in New York and Brooklyn, it
will start Immediately for the middle
west and Mississippi valley territory
