NOTED DIVINE COMING.
Rev. Mr.. Wilkinson, of Trinity
Church, New York, to Spesk in
Alexandria Monday Night.

On Monday night. February 18th,
Alexandrians will have the pleasure
of hearing the Rev. Mr.. Wilkinson,
of Trinity Parish, New York City,
who will hold one meeting in St.
Paul's Church, at half past seven
o'clock, under the auspices of the
Mems Religious Movement. For the
past ten days Mr.. Wilkinson has been

avail themselves Of. Women, as we'll
as men are invited to be present.

gan what was unique movement in
the religious world, holding a brief
open air service at the noon hour in
the midst of the roar and battle of

MEETING BEFORE CHAMBER.
National Citizens League Movement
for Banking Reform is
Gaining Ground.

As previously announced, a special
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
is to be held on February 26th, at
which time w. E. Carson, president
of the Virginia Citizens League is to
address the Alexandria business men
on the subject of currency reform.
According to dispatchesSthe move
ment for banking reform is being or
panized in an effective manneriin Vir-
GINA, and North and South Carolina
through the formation Of local and
State branches of the National Citi-
zens' League for the Promotion of
Banking Reform, according to w.
Jett Lauck, Southern Representative
Of the League.
Within the past week a state or
ganiZation in North Carolina has
been formed, with J. NJ. Parker, OF
Charlotte, as the president. Mr..
Lauck states that Mr. Parker will an
nounce further details of the North
Carolina branch probably next week.
The South Carolina branch is also be-
ing organized by business men in the
larger cities and towns.
In Virginia, state organization IS
actively at work, with w. E. Carson,
of Riverton, who is president of the
American Association of Lime Manu-
facturers, as the head. w. Grafton
Price, of Harrisonburg, well known
young banker, and formerly duputy
treasurer of Rockingham county, is
the secretary of the Virginia branch,
and he is travelling in its interest over
the state.
"The National Citizens League, ac-
cordng to a recent article in the In
dependent. by its president, John V.
Farwell, of Chicago" said Mr.. Lauck
today, has indorsed no bill before
Congress and vii present no bill. In
general it favors reform along the
lines of the establishment of re-
serve association such as the Natio-
nal Momentary Commission in its
latest report proposes, but it's real
purpose is to arouse the business men
in all lines of industrial and CONNER
cial activities to take part III a non
policical reform, of the present bank
ing system and TO make the reform
whatever it is fit the business con-
ditions of the present. Reports from
wherever the question has been pre-
scented show that this idea is appeal
ing to the southern business man."
