pared by him. and DR.. Douglas s. Free
man, or the News Leader, responded to
the presidents demand. DR.. Freeman
prefaccd his remarks by declaring that
II was no time for long speeches. and
he. too. spoke briefly. But into n short
time he crowded a very warm apprecia-
ton OF the work Of the typographical
department of newspaper. and indi-
Gated the great influence welded by the
press. of which they formed an abso-
lutely essential part.
The president then introduced Colonel
G. II. Hasbrook, general manager of

that, although Colonel Hasbrook had
been installed" so to speak. in Rich
mond only a comparatively short time.
he and his associates had already had
particularly pleasant and happy deal
ings with him. Colonel fIasbrook good
humorcdly charged that he had been
approached in tho back for the first

would be called upon. and that he
would only add his word Of very sim

Representative y. j. Montague spoke
conciscly Of his estimation of the call
ing represented by the members of tho
union. saying that he had no practical
knowledge OF printing, but that he had
very lively knowledge of the prac-
teal results OF the compositors' care.
This result is conspicuous. he said. In
the Congressional Record. in which
speeches of members are often report
ed with great Improvement over their
actual delivery. not only as regards
their wording, their mere English, but
also in thought itself.
Mayor Ainslie's short speech was in
happy vein and was thoroughly en-
joyed by the members and their friends.
Several new stories occurred to him
which were heartily applauded and he
turned the laugh we'll on the writing
men present when he confessed that he
was able to understand why some OF
had explained to him the value of the
compositors in practically rewriting
their copy.
Besides the speakers. Robert Glass,
Of the Richmond Nirginian, and H a.
Hawkins. OF the Richmond Evening
Journal were guests of the union,
while Rev. T. A. Smoot D. D., pastor

Advcrtng 10 his holding that the
maintenance of house in which usury
is taken and usurious contracts cXccut-
cd is not an indictablc or criminal nui-
sance. Judge Richardson says:
To do otherwise would be to brand
many persons as criminals who were
guiltless of any criminal intent, and
many banking institutions as NUS

banking institutions in the State where
in times Of financial stringency more
