Fresh from the pits of Hades. where devils

Devils shaped in the vapors, sketched in the

Leap and dance In leering host. there In tho

Devils with hoofs and talons, and each with

Devils that roar in hunger and. reach to the

Hoofed and horned and uthirst for blood

Phantoms that scorch tho eyelids and b,,.,or

General Schuech admitted that pro-

been overcome. the Minister OF NUM-

The enrolment of more than 1000 pupils
in the night schools Of this city is an evidence
that the effort of the school authorities to
provide this kind of extra ordinary instruction

young people, it is particularly fortunate
that they may have opportunity for class
work after business hours.

The Equal Suffrage League of Richmond
has acted wisely in regulating the National
Woman's party, from which the picketers
have been drawn. The worst setback that
woman's suffrage has received in many years
