a woman who fails in her
home fails in all. Home Is wo-
man S realm, given into her hands
to regulate, govern and beautify.
Ii she fails here she may look IN
vain for another kingdom for
she has failed in the only spot
where she could ultimately have
succeeded. She has laid down
the jewels which God gave her
To brighten and polish, and IN
their place finds nothing but dust
and ashes.
People always speak well of a
man who minds his own business
and who seems to be disposed to
be somebody In tIle. This is a
queer void; many people are
watching us, and often help
comes when and from whom we
least expect. Confidence is the
safe IN which men often deposit
rich treasures and as you prove
worthy SO VIII your reward of
success be- There Is a reward in
success, which none but those
who strive can enjoy. Deserve
success and 1t will come.

home for his wife and children

IN the way OF achieving wealth
and honor; ii he has done that he
Is a grand success. LII he has
not done that, and it ishis own
fault, he Is a most pItable failure.
We wonder how many men IN a
mad pursuit of gold, which char
acterizes the age, realize that
there Is no fortune which can be
LEFT to their families as great as
the memory Of a happy home
1t is natural and right that a
mother should wish to see her
well educated and even
highly accomplished; and it Is a
mistake that good and careful
education should unfit a girl for
the hOmely duties of cooking,
busting and general housework-
On the contrary, those duties
would be better performed If
mothers would at the same time
they seek talented instructors for
their daughters, impart to them
some of their own culinary tai
ent; there would be more good
wives and marriages.
If your own son or daughter
has accomplished some difficult
piece of work, rendering you es-
sential assistance; or have climb

new accomplishment, or added
study, or have acquired some
grace, or better than all have
gained the victory over some bad

Powers, of Madison Ward. In doing
so he said the people of the two sec
tions desired better street car facili-
ties. and he believed such an arrange
ment as that proposed would meet all
demands. 1t will also tend largely to
allay the congestion of cars at
Seventh and Broad Streets.
Those who appeared for the Gtnter
Park citizens were John Williams
and w. ID. Duke. and letter sent by
Heights, representing the people of
that suburb, was read. From the
Southside were Ben P. owen and
Burley Anderson. The street car
company was represented by Presi-
dent Wheelwright and General Man
ager Buchanan.
The idea of Mr.. Powers ordinance
is to run the cars through from the
upper end of Hull Street. over Mayo
Bridge, up Main to Ninth. to Broad.
to First. to the end of the line in
Ginter Park.
1t is also designed to have the
Richmond and Henrico cars proceed
out Broad to First, thence to Gin
ter Park This latter movement Will
eliminate the Fifth Street line, in
GLIDING that on Duval and Brooke
Avenue.
The subcommittee consists OF
Messrs. Powers, Gunst and Atkinson.
The wards effected are Madison and
Lee. Messrs Powers and Atkinson
represent Madison ward, and Mr..
Gunst represents Lee.

partment. every available man will be
required, and asks to be relieved of
the duty OF detailing man from the
department 10 the Police Court.
The committee did not. think .he
city desired the creation of an addi-
tiona! Office. II also felt the system In
vogue from the beginning a most sat
isfactory one, and. therefore. sent the
paper on to Council with the recon-
mendation that II be not adopted.
superintendent Calder, of the parks
and cemeteries department, submitted
a set OF rules for the guidance of
cemetery keepers, with q table OF
charges for grave digging, etc. The
charges are slightly increased over
those prevailing. Sentiment In the
committee was that there should be
no increase. bu. in order to famlliarize
the committee with the details OF the
proposition, subcommittee was
named to confer with Superintendent
Calder and to report back the best
thing to do. This committee consists
of Aldermen Christian, Gunst and
Paul.
A resolution from Unity Circle. w.
C. r. L., of Highland Park, asking
that an ordinance establishing board
OF censors for moving pictures be
passed. was tabled, to be considered
at future meeting. There is now a
proposition before Council, introduced
by Alderman Powers looking to the
creation of such q board.
The request of J. n. Solomon for
the construction of a sta bic on Eight n
Street. Fulton. was turned over to q
to confer with the build
ing inspector and the chief OF Are de-

showed that Germany will not per-
init unwarned attacks upon unarm-
ed vessels. Austria Hungary Is. ex-
pected to take the same stand as its
ally.
In the Patria case II was said that
afidavits probably would be obtained
from the officers of the ship and also
the passengers. particularly the
Americans. 1t was stated that Ameri-
can Consul Percival Gassett at Malta
had obtained statements from the pas
sengers on the attack and had for
warded them to the department. They
are expected soon and will be used In
determining q course Of action.
VIII Ask Explanation.
In both the Patria and Tubantia
cases II was Indicated that the govern
ment IL its determined that submarines
attacked the vessels, will ask Germany
and Austria Hungary for an expiana-
ton. II was made clear that no
hasty action would be taken and full
reports would be awaited.
No information has been received
here that the aggressive submarine
policy Of Admiral Won Tirpitz would
be modified by his retirement, but Of
ficials generally believe that this action
will result. Admiral Won Tirpitx's re-
tirement has caused the belief to grow
here that the United States and Ger
many will soon reach an agreement on
the submarine question for all time.

P]S|TION TO FAR


states government for postofflce pur-
poses and AZ the matter Is drifting
into the whirlpool OF municipal poll
TICS. 4 happy solution OF the difficulty
could be found in linking the rostoffice
site with the Union Depot question.
THE newspapers tell us that the
presidents OF the several railroad lines
entering Richmond are here TO take
up and definitely determine the Union
Depot question, The policy OF the
PostofFice Department is 10 locate the
postoffiee building in large cities near
the Union Depot. II. therefore, tho
Union Depot for all OF our trunk lines
is placed at Fifteenth and Main
Streets then the United States govern
ruar4,r following a-axca- f,niieg.-weald
probably locate a parcel post and ter
sninaI station in the same vicinity. and
nj the same time maintain the present
postoffice building, around which ap-
pears to cluster much history and az
lection, Then the railroad companies
would not only be meeting the wishes
OF ninety per cent OF the citizens of
Richmond who are already on record
favoring the Fifteenth Street site. and
opposed to our city being side track
ed. but would be in a position to CO.
operate advantageousiy with the
the malls.
ut IA understood that the govern
ment will very soon make new con-
tract for the hauling of the mall from
the depot This work has been done
by screen wagons. but modern and
up- to-date service calls for auto
mobiles. 1t Is estimated that the new
contract will be In. the neighborhood
or $40, 600 per annuni. With ter
minal and parcel post station at
Fifteenth and Main, and the new
Union Station there, the railroads
would be In a position to treat with
Pthe government on more advantageous
terms than at present.
with the new Union Depot at
Fifteenth and Main. and station 1t
the Hermitage. the question would be
removed from municipal politics, the
wishes Of the general public met and
satisfaction guaranteed to our ship
ping interests.'
