Felicitations were the order of the
day when party OF city officials.
headed by Mayor Richardson and
City Engineer Boiling, inspected the
new Virginia avenue trunk sewer yes
teIday afternoon. There were nearly
two carloads Of folks in the special
that left over the James river divi-
sion Of the Chesapeake and Ohio for
the scene at p. NJ. Included in
the party, besides a number Of coun.
cilmeh and other officials, were men,
befs OF the firm of Stamper Broth
crs Il Ragland, who executed the big
project without hitch, as Mr..
Boiling very aptly put 1t, in the
course OF briefAaddress after a trip
through the sewer.
;. The project represents an outlay Of
nearly quarter OF million Of dollars.
There are three main branches of
the sewer which will drain prac-
tically the entire southwestern Sec
ton of the city. The principal trunk
embraces stretch of 1890 feet
through solid rock. 1t was diff
cult and complicated engineering
feat.
Party Uses Lanterns.
Through the sewer. more than half
mile In length. the inspecting party
wended its way with lanterns. en-
tertng at the mouth near Haxall sta
taon on the Cnssa peake and Ohio. The
lanterns shed plentiful amount of
light. thus permitting the party TO
get an excellent view of the tunnel.
More than half an hour was con-
sumed in passing from the mouth of
the sewer and back again.
Besides the city engineer, who de-
signed the project. Mayor Richard
son and others made brief talks APP
pfepFiate TO the occasion. Refresh
ments were later enjoyed aboard the
train before 1t returned to the city.
The sewer cnpties into the scanal

MARRIAGE.

Another unsuccessful effort was
made last night to get quorum OF
the special council committee named
to consider the proposition to build a
free public library, the project being
based on a gift of $4,000 donated by
Thomas J. Todd for site, on condi-
ton the city erect the library build
ing and operate 1t.
The presence Of Councilman Charles
e. Richards. Of Marshall ward. at the
meeting of the city democratic COM
mittee at Murphy's. proved to be the
chief obstacle In the way of quorum,
Harry r Pollard, Jr. another member.
being unavoidabiy detained at a mar
riage. it was stated. Though merely
a spectator at the meeting at MUIR
phys. Mr.. Richards felt that his pres
ence was required there rather than at
the meeting IN the oity haii. beng a
candidate tor the administrative lizard,
he Was naturally oeepiy Interested in
the proposition to name the nominees
in a convention instead of primary.
Cou,on't Locate Him.
A final erort was made about . r.
NJ. to induce Mr. fSiciards to come TO
the city hall, Chairman Umlauf. of
the Library committee, trying 10 To-
cate him over the phone without sue
cess. The clerk stated that Mr. Rich
ards could not be located at that time.
Alderman Robert q. Rennolds. an
other member OF this committee, was
kept away on account of illness. Al
dcrman Gunst was the only member
present. beside the chairman.
Il hope they will all be defeated al
the polls.t said Mrs. Kate Minor. as
sistant State librarian, who was one
of the disappointed ones on hand.
She gave vent TO this statement
after being informed that election
times might be responsible for the
trouble in getting a quorum.
Calls Il Fiaaeo.
This Is the second fiasco within the
past month"; commented Prof John
c. Metcalf. Of Richmond College. re-
calling the fact that it was but few
weeks since he made trip In vain
to the City Hall on A similar mission.
When do we meet again." asked
half dozen young ladies in chorus.
when told by Chairman Umlauf that
there was no possibility OF getting a
quorum.
Most of them are in literary work
and are therefore very muchinterested
in the free library proiecl-
Prominent among those present was
the Rev. DR.. George w. Mcdaniel.
pastor OF First Baptist church. He
accepted philosophically, having no
comment to make.
Next 0ats Not Set.
Chairman Cmiauf explained that he
set last night as the date for the meet
INK. feeling sure that nothing would
conflict with It. He was unable to
say when he would try to get the COM
mittee together again.
As he WAS leaving the hall. he said
he would ask President Whittet. Of
the Board OF Aldermen. to name some
one In place of Mr.. Rennolds. who
has been out OF the city for several
weeks because of Ill health. and may
not be back for some time yet.

EATING BARK OF TREES.
Pitiful Efforts of Straving Chinese to
Sustain Life Graphic Descrip-
ton of Conditions by An
American Traveller.

Mr.. Earl II. Cressy, an American,
who has recently returned from a tour
of inspection of the famine districts of
China relates MANY instances illustra-
tive OF the frightful conditions Of
starvation which prevailed early in
February. He made minute exam
nation Of MANY Chinese homes. De-
scribing an inspection Of all the
houses, large and small, in seceral
groups, a total OF ffty-fve houses,
Mr.. Greasy makes the following
statement:
"a straw stack indicates that there
has beeu crop. | found straw in
four Yards. Grain was found in only
seven houses out of the fifty-fve, and
in 10 place over peck OF it. The
food in process OF preparation was
invariably greens-Sweet potato leaves
or carrot tops, thin. acid smelling
mass Of the appearance of stagnant
water and about as appetiz.ng, only
! once IN a while containing Il bit of
vegetable or grain, About one ont Of
every three was eating elm bark which
they prepare bV reducing it to fine
sawdust and then making it into cakes.
| Whole rows of trees have thus been
stripped of their bark. OF even such
sorry food as this only few have
any great amount on hand. After il
is gone they will eat the bark Of the
willow and mulberry which cause
swelling and hasten death. Except for
these the countryside is absolutely
bare.
ITO look back upon it, the whole
seems like e. bad dream. The gloon
OF the wretched homes, the whirling
snow, driven by the bitter wind, the
hungry garrulousness of the ole
wotuep, the modest shyness Of young
matrons at suddenly finding them
selves in the presence of a foreigt
man, little children CRYING over thei,
pitiful food, the dumb agony on the
face OF the woman whom we had tC
tell that her husband had Just breathed
his last, the dead with mummy faces
and claw-like fetal this is only a
small part OF the grim tragedy of the
famine where two and half millions
are facing conditions like these"
AS rapidly as contributions are re.
ceived by the American Red Cross
they are hurried by cable to relief
committee in Shanghai. Up to March
l, $29, 900 has been forwarded Millions
are needed, because the new grain
crop in China cannot be harvested
for three months.
The New York relief committee, CO.
operating closely with the Red Cross
is urging every pastor Ia the United
States to speak to his congregation on
the famine on SUNDAY, March 10th,
and TO take collection for she starry.
ing. The Red Cross approves this
request and urges universal compliance
with it. The money thus collected may
be ssRt 10 the New York China Famine
Relief Committee, Madison Avenue,
New York, or 70 the American Red
Cross. Washington. Ia either case
the amounts received will be acknowl.
edged and promptly cabled TO China.
