LOCAL MINISTERS
ARE MUCH PLEASED
Church Attendance This
Summer Shows a Great
Improvement.

According to the testimony of local
ministers. Richmond people are gett-
ing better" at least they show more
of an inclination to attend Sunday
school and church during the hot sum-
mer months than they did last year
and the local pastors are agreeably
surprised by the good conduct of their
various flocks.
Rev. T. J. Graham, pastor OF the
First Presbyterian church, states "The
attendance at our Sunday school and
church is better than itNwas last year
at this time, and we have not found
our attendance to be slumping unus-
ually. / believe this is because the
older members can attend church
more easily in summer than in
winter"
Attendance Doubled.
Rev. Traum, of the First Christian
church, said, Il have not observed any
falling off in attendance at our church
and the increase over last year is very
gratifying" He then quoted the atten-
dance for last Sunday compared with
a year ago, which showed that the at
tendance had almost doubled,
Rev w. o. Stovall, the First Baptist
minister, announces that the atten-
dance has been so satisfactory that he
has not found it necessary to discon-
tinue the evening services. Rev. How
ard of the First English Lutheran says
that the attendance is greatly imprOv-
ed over last year.
There will be no services at the
First English Lutheran church next
Sunday, as Rev: Howard is to leave for
Illinois for a two weeks vacation.

ENGLAND HARBORS
4,57l MILLIONAIRES
Foreign Income of Great Britain
Reaches Grand Total of
$52o,ooo,ooo.

England assessed income from
abroad, as set forth in the income
statistics OF that country last year,
reached the immense total of $500,
100000, which represents capital OF
nearly $4,000, 100000.
These incomes are derived from
foreign mines, gas works, water
works, tramways, breweries, tea and
coffee plantations, nitrate grounds
oil fields, land, financial, telegraph,
cable, shipping and insurance COM
panies, branches Of banks and mer-
camille companies, mortgages on
property, loans and deposits abroad
and profits of all kinds arising from
business done abroad by manufacture
ers. merchants and commission
agents. When it is realized how great
is the capital invested by English
men abroad in these varied enter
prises the immense aggregate income,
outside that included in the income
tax statistics, can be imagined.
According to the same statistics
there are 2l4 persons in the United
Kingdom with an income of $275,00O,
which means that there are that
many persons possessing q capital of
about s6,000,000 each But these are
not the richest Englishmen.
There are sixty-six with an income
of from $4,000 to 100000, thirty
seven with incomes of s325,000 to
$375, ZOO, and fifty-siX with incomes
of from $275,000 to $325.000.
Furthermore, there are 4,143 per-
sons with incomes of $4,000 and over,
which means the possession Of a cap
ital of 81, 900, 900 or more. Consequent
ly the total of persons in the country
who possess at least $l,O00,000 does
not fall short Of 4,571.

ARGENTINE BEEF IS
CHEAP In ENGLAND
Wholesale Price After Long
Sea Trip Is Only Nine
Cents a Pound.

DIR. A. d. Melvin, chief of the bureau
of animal industry OF the Department
of Agriculture, who has just re-
turned from an official inspection trip
in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, to-
day said that, while statistics showed
that Argentina was already slaughter
ing up to the limit of its present stock
of cattle. he was impressed with the
great res rurces of that country for
cattle raising. He believed it possible
for the stock raisers to bring about a
large increase In the meat output II
present prices are maintained.
The cattle slaughtered for export in
Argentina, DIR. Melvin said, are fed no
grain whatever, but are raised and
fattened entirely on alfalfa pastures.
"At the time of my visit said DIR.
Melvin, cattle that dressed 500
pounds were sold for $74.S0. gold. This
grade of Argentine beef, which is of
very rich quality, is selling in Eng
land for from eight cents to nine
cents a pound wholesale.
Besides the price received for the
meat there is a considerable return
from the hide and the offal, and since
the entrance of American packers
into the South American trade these
by-products are being carefully pre-
pared and utilized. A very high
quality of mutton is also produced in
the Argentine"
DR.. Melvin reported that the fed
eral governments of both Argentine
and Uruguay maintain veterinary in
spection at all of the establishments
exporting fresh beef. United States
packing firms own four of the large
plants in these two countries, and the
competition between them and the
native firms is keen. Municipal abat-
toirs with official inspection are
maintained very generally at all of
the South American cities of any i'm
portance, and in this respect these
countries are ahead Of the United
States.

If your coat is a three quarter or

preferable, / think However, it
need not be sombre. You might
have the skirt made after one of the

Have the blouse full, with frilly
yoke and vest of cream net or

Blackheads and Pimples
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
Would you kindly tell me what /
could do for blackheads aud PIN
pies? have quite a lot of them on
my nose and chin.
One of the most common troubles
of the skin is blacl1heads, and the
real cause of them is, speaking
frankly lack of care. A de-
termined scrubbing with good
flesh brush win prevent blackheads.
If you have them you will have to
work consistently to get rid of
them. Smearing the face with a
cleansing cream, allowing it to re-
main half hour and then rernov-
ing 1t with the flesh brush dipped
in lather of hot water and soap,
will generally cause them to van
ish. IL the blackheads are too per-
sistent the following formula is
guaranteed by a famous specialist
to be successful: One part acetic
acid eight parts peroxide of hydro
gen, eight parts petroleum., eight
parts adeps lanae.
For ordinary eruptions such as
pimples solution made of thirty
six grains of bicarbonate of soda,
one dram of giycerine and an ounce
of spermaceti ointment rubbed on
the affected parts and removed
after ten minutes will usually prove
helpful, but an internal tonic OF
some kind may be required at the
same time, especially If the person
is of nervous temperament.
An ounce of glycerine to seven
ounces of elder flower water and
half a dram of borax makes n
splendid preparation for driving
away a rash, due to heat It
should be applied night and morn
ing, or oftener, II necessary.
To improve your complexion you
must build up your system by
drinking plenty of cold water, walk
ing in the fresh air. avoiding rich
foods and gravies, ice cream sodas
and the like. Take the Juice Of a
lemon in half glass of cold water
every morning, half hour before
breakfast. Outside applications will
only help to certain degree.

LOMBARD STREET
MOST IMPORTANT
Made Much of Early History Of
mountaineering
Stories.


Some one has said shat in the his
tory of Lombard street lies the his
tory of London. This to a great ex-
tent Is true. For centuries past Lom-
bard street has been practically the
hub of themoney market of London,
and where the money is there one
usually finds the people who make
history, says Tid-Bits.
The name Lombard Is derived from
Longbards or Lombards, who, about
the thirteenth century, supplanted
the Jews, who from the Norman con-
quest were our great money lenders.
The sign of the three golden balls
was first used by the Lombards, the
forerunners of the modern uncle -
1t was the emblem of st. Nicholas,
the patron saint of citizens, mer-
chants and mariners.
1t was with the Lombards that Ed
ward III. and Henry V. literally
pledged their crowns and jewels to
obtain funds for the war which Gull
minated in Crecy and Agincourt.
They were, moreover, according to
an interesting brochure on "Old
Lombard Street" issued by the Royal
Insurance Company, Ltd, the ac-
credited financial agents to- the

lived In Lombard street were Sir
Thomas Gresham, who built the first
royal exchange, and gave it to the
city in 1868, and also endowed

who made Charles lis crown at a
cost of $4,000. and Edward Black
well. who was chief financier to
Charles IL, to the most of the
nobility and to the East India Com
pany.
Among other curious facts it might
be mentioned that the first London
directory was issued in Lombard
street by Sam Lee. who in 1877 had a
shop at the sign of 1.-The Feathers, %
near Pope's Head alley. while a
strange combination of business was
that of Mr.. Sam Ellis, who In 1878
traded there. as halter and stock
broker.
