he had enough money to provide -four for him

should keep the eggs until their needs became
greater,

A REAL STREET CLEANER.

A twenty minute rainstorm, preceded by a
ten minute blow. causes one to wonder whether

When the squaiI came over the James yes

like with dust The dirt whirled in the air

the whitewings had left about the city became
Suddenly visible. Whirl-pools of filth scurred
along the streets before the blast, filed the
eyes. mouth and noses OF pedestrians, actually
darkened the sky. At prevailing real estate
prices, many thousands OF dollars worth OF
land was blown hither and thither with no
return to any except the possibility If

buted by modest wind herald to a thunder
OF the world to compute
When the rain fell after the blow, there
was an illustration OF what an ideal street
cleaning is, and OF how far the cleaning thai
Richmond's streets receive misses the ideal.
Twenty minutes of rain left the air cleansed.
The pavements fresh and immaculate The ten
days or more since rain had fallen found them
Inches deep In dessicated matter. despite the
efforts OF the street cleaners
OF course it is not TO be expected tha. a

Lamb Did Not Vote Against ~ Pension For

fedcrate soldiers.
To the Editor of The yirginian:
The charge has been made that Captain John
Lamb voted against bill pensioning Confed-
crate soldiers The charge is untrue and un-
founded. On December 5. 1903, the late Rep
resentative Rixey. from the Eighth congress
sional district of Virginia, introduced the fol-
lowing bill:
For the relief Of veterans of the Con-
federacy
BE it enacted by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of America
in congress assembled. that from and after the
passage of this act all soldiers homes ana
other institutions maintained by the govern
ment for the disabled soldiers and sailors or
the United States shall be open to all soldiers
and sailors of the Civil war of eighteen hum
dred and sixty-one eighteen hundred and
sixty-tive upon the same terms and without dis
crmna ton as to whether they were eupon the
side Of the Union the Confederacy.
Section 2--That the benefits Of the laws
providing aid for soldiers homes in the several
States is hereby extended to those States
which maintain or shall establish soldiers homes
for the veterans of the Confederacy,
The Confederate camps throughout the south
opposed to this bill. and on December
49, 1903, Il. E. Lee Camp. NO, ]. & W. passee
the following preambles and resolution:
Whereas X. f. Lee Camp, No. /, c. " has
learned of the introduction in national house
of representatives of a resolution looking TO the
admission of Confederate veterans into national
soldiers homes;
And. whereas. this camp comedies 10 the more
patriotic and praiseworthy motives, yet believes
that such a law would meet with no favor in
any portion of our Southern States.
Therefore. be it resolved, That the Hon, John
r, RiXey be and he is hereby respectfully re-
quested to withdraw said resolution.
That copy of this resolution be forwarded
10 the congressman and United States senators
from Virginia.
Copy from the records.
Attest j TAYLOR STRATTON,
'Adjutant."
The bill introduced by Mr.. Rixey speaks for
itself. 1t did not provide q pension for Con-
federate soldiers. but only permitted Confei-
crate soldiers to enter federal homes. and fed
eral soldiers 10 enter Confederate homes, and
would have permitted negroes who fed
eral soldiers enter Confederate homes.
The charge that Captain Lamb voted against
"A pension for Confederate soldiers is, therefore,
unjust ana untrue.
