Diana's FutiIity on Broadway

Diana's FutiIity on Broadway.
(From Judge)
Diana, goddess of the moon,
What chance have you to give your
boon
To Broadway, where the man. made
light
Outshines your glory every night?
And how can heavens stars compete
With those on this skyscraping street ?
Oh. moon and sky and stars cast
down!
You get no worship in this town.
And so must stay in fields apart,
Away from powder. rouge and art.

Most Dangerous of Minor Ailments.

OF the minor ailments a cold is by
far the most dangerous, not in Itself
but the serious diseases 1t so often
leads to. Pneumonia and consumption
always start with a cold. When you
have a cold you are much more likely to
contract the infectious diseases such as
diphtheria, scarlet fever and whooping
cough. Colds are easily cured, in fact,
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is fam
GUS for its cures of this most common
ailment, and is pleasant and safe to
take. Why take such desperate chances
when so reliable and trustworthy a
medicine may be obtained for quar-
ter. For sale by all dealers.

The question of removing the county seat of

three railroads passing through, algo the cleo

THE MUNICIPAL WHARF.

With the acquisition by the city OF Rich
mond of municipal wharf, which was ac-
eepted yesterday afternoon a long feN want
is filled and in the future Richmond win have
facilities the lack of which has seriously in.
terfered with the water traffic between this
city and the sea. For want Of proper wharf
age facilities ships have been prevented from
coming to this port, which should be Of far
more Importance commercially than it has
been As matter of fact, Richmond has long
been only port In theory when 1t should
have been one in actually.
The wharf was accepted from Contractor
Alsop yesterday afternoon by the James river
committee of the city council, which commit
tee has worked industriously for the consum~
nation which was yesterday attained, The
rock ledge the new wharf prevents full
depth at present, but with this removed, as

Richmond will be in a position to offer facil-

other ports

tons on the completion of a work OF so much
value to the city.

earnest advocate of It's adoption by national
party conventions. This plank was adopted
by the Bull Moose convention at Chicago, and
