SPEECH BY GOVERNOR

A monster mass meeting with Gov
persons In Riohmnad and the vicinity
present will be nold before the end
OF the month under the auspices or
the Salvation Array for the purpose or
devising ways and means of maintain
ing the summer fresh air camp Tor
the city's poor on the fifteen acre
tract in Chesterfield, which has been
given by Mrs +. W banner AS a site
Tor such camp.
Plans for the hie meeting are being
made by AdjutsBt George \. Virgins
OF the Salvation Army. who will In a
few days announce the details Of tho
program. He has been working on
the plans for several days and has
tentatively arranged for what viii
probably be the most enthusiastic
and largely attended gathering Ct
citisens IN Richmond in years,
Minister TO Attend.
Adjutant Virgins intends to haHe a
mum her of prominent speaker in ad-
dition to Governor Mann and there
Is little doubt that the adtutants re-
guest TO public men to deliver hd-
dresses viii be granted in view of the
noble purpose OF the meeting. Ad-
5utant Virgins believes that nearly
every minister In Richmond VIII be
present and he has already been given
the assurance Of number of minis
ters that they VIII attend and take an
active part.
Every charitable organization, many
fraternal bodies and other societies
in Richmond win be requested 10 send
large delegations OF representatives.
Business firms and other financial in
situations VIII also be invited to have
representatives attend the meeting
A larg choir composed of the best
talent In the city will furnish music
and 1t is probable that an orchestra
will also be engaged. A hearty vel
come will be extended to every citi-
Zen and measures win be taken TO
urge large attendance Of ali per
sons interested In charity. the uplft
of the people and civic welfare.
While the date and place of meet
ing is still to he d@ftntely decided,
plans have been IN. q to hold the
gathering in the Academy of Music
on Sunday afternoon before the ed
Of April. Tho course OF procedure in
devising ways and means of support
ing the fresh air camp will probably
be the organization OF an association
I
Richmond who will have the duty OF
seeing that the funds are raised for
the proper maintenance Of the camp
under the direction Of the salvation
Army,
Boyd VIII Cooperate.
IL such an organization is perfect
ed. Adiutant Virgins says. its ofh-
GERS will include the most prominent
and influential residents Of Rich
Hond. The vice presidents alone will
probably number two bundled per
sons. II present plans are eonsummat.
cd. The association viii work In CO.
operation with the churches and
charitable bodies Of the city In pro,
vidins for the women and children
who are sent to the camp for vacation
and IL IL not at all unlikely that Rich.
nnond will have the most ideal sum
ner fresh afr camp in the country.

human life and prepared him for the
Affections of his later years when
disease and blindness overlook him.
Never once did he murmur or COM

BottomIess Tarpon springs.

The great body of water which gave the name to Tarpon Springs, Fla, Is c1assed by all of the old citizens as bottomless. The center appears to be a hole curbed with jagged rocks, Sometimes the weight has lodged and then dropped on to the extent of the sounding line afterward. Many citi- zens say that they know the depth to be in excess of 700, 800 and 900 feet Once when a depth of 200 feet was reached an obstruction was encounter ed; then it was dislodged, dropped on farther, and the line broke. A very heavy weight has to be used on ac- count of the depth, and when divers are sent down in the springs, as they have been recently, they report the same great jagged hole, which, so far as they can find out, is without bot tom. The spring is supposed to be the principal outlet of that beautiful Lake Butler which lies just a mile east of the town. Tidewater comes up into the spring, and 1t has acquired the name because it was the play ground of the silvered king of fish, the arpon.-Manufactur Record
