DECEMBER 17.1898 "And the greatest of these is charity." It will be just as safe to walk on slippery side walks to church tomorrow as to go anywhere e'se. Richmond never offered a more tempting layout for Santa Clans than her stores are showing now. The dear old Saint will certainly not miss any child this year. We understand the board of public improvements of the common council has determined to make no recommendations for new sewers or street improvements the coming year. That is a movement in the right direction. The same principle should be applied to every department of the city government. The first step toward starting Richmond on the up grade mxxtt be the cutting down of our tax rate. This unpublished story is told of the late Calvin S. Brice: A woman over at Piqna, Ohio, met him one day before he acquired fame or wealth and proposed to tell his fortune from the lines in the palm of his hand. He reached out his hand and the woman at once declared: "Why, Mr.Brice.you will become a millionaire." The young attorney laaghingly replied: "If I do 1 H send you a diamond ring and a silk dress. Some time ago the woman was reminded of the incident, which he had long sinee forgotten, by the receipt from Mr. Brioe of a handsome diamond ring and a silk dress. The Purdue agricultural experiment station furnishes the following carefully prepared statement as to the necessary cost of a creamery : Creamery buildings may be erected in which first class butter may be made, for from $500 to $1,000, and equipped with machinery for handling 7,000 to 10,000 pounds of milk per day, at a cost of not over $1,500, or an estimated total cost of $'2,500 at the outside. In some places $2,000 will establish this plant. Outside of building, the two heaviest items of expense are for sepai ator and engine and boiler. The very best separator may be bought for from $400 to $500, separat ing from 2,000 to 2,500 gallons of milk per hour. An engine and boiler costing new from $100 to $500 will be necessary. Milk vats hoiding GOO gallons of milk may be purchased for $50 or less, a cream vat holding 200 gallons for about $3o, standard butter worker for $40, churn about $30, with many other items in the way of equipment, mostly in a small way. In his speecu to tiie students (col ored) of Booker T. Washington's Institute, at Tuskegee, Ala., President McKinley uttered these words which are worthy of being printed in letters of gold : "Intesrity and industry are the best possessions which any man can hive, and every man can have them. Nobody can give them to him or take tnem from him. tie can not acquire them by inheritance; he can not buy them or beg them or borrow them. They belong to the individual, and are his unquestioned property. lie alone can part witn them. They are a good thing to have and keep. They make happy homes; they achieve success in every walk of life; they tiave won the greatest triumpbs for mankind. No man who has them ever gets into the police court or before the grand jury or in the work-house or on tbe chain-gang. They give one moral and material power. They will bring jou a comfortable living, make ycu respect yourself and command the rear ect of your fellows. They are indispensable to success. They are invincible." Fletcher's neckwear is the best.

A Member of the Board of Pablic Improvements States That That Is tte Decision of the Board fjr One Year.
The board of public impr.-.vements : met vesterdav afternoon, and trans-
-2' acted a little business of a routine sort.
; Last evening a member of the board stated to a Palladium reporter that the board had deciied to economize the city finances in the most risrid manner for the coming year. He said: "The greatest expense in connection with our city is in the public improvements it makes, in the way of new streets and t-ewers. Of these the city has always to pay the lien's share and that is the eause of our greatest expenditure of the city's money. The board has therefore decided nit to build any new streets or new sewers for one year, and by that time the ci'y's finances will have so far recuperated as to warrant the making of sucb improvements whenever they shall be dee and strictly necessary. " The decision of this board is one that has been threatened by other j boards and it is hoped that the back- j bone of council will be sufficient to j suppoit the board in its determination to stop the biggest leik in the city ; treasury until there shall have accum-, nlated a sufficient amount to pot tbe -balance on the other side of the sheet nd stop the necessity of semi-annual ! i loans. i At the meeting yesterday afternoon I tbe board receivtd and approved the report and final estimate of the work done by John Schneider, in improving north D street from fifteenth to six teenth. The total cost of the impiove- ' ment was $896, The report and flaal estimate of the same for the improvement of the alley between fifteenth and sixteenth streets from north C to north E, was also approved and adopted. The total cost cf that improvement was $554.60. The engineer presented a communication regarding the request of Joseph Zeller and others on north sixth street for drainage, and stated that the only thing that could be done was to put in a storm sewer on north sixth from Main to A, or to raise the gutter on north sixth from A to Fort Wayne avenue. ARE REL A1ED. Get era) J. 6. Gordon ani Bennett Gordou of This City. The other evening when General Gordon lectured at Earlham h6 was telling of meeting a gentlman somewhere who had his name and initials. When the lecture was over J. Bennett Gordon of this city went to the lecturer and told him that he was another with the same name and inifials. Tht struck the general as peculiar, and they talked over ancestry, each discovering that the other had Scotch blood in his veins. The general invited the younger man to ride over to the city in his carriage, and on the way they talked more on the subject, ascertaining that the two were second cousins, their immediate ancestors having come from Guilford, N. C. Fall O wn Stairs. Tony Landwer stepped and fell down a flight of stairs at his lodging house on north twentieth street one day this week and received quite h severe scalp wound, besides being in jured internally. He was taken to St. (Stephen a hospital, where he is now resting as well as can be expected. Frank Chambers. When the announcement that Frank Chambers is going out of the grocery business was read in last right's paper, there was general surprise and not a little regret. Mr. Chambers has been in this city all his life, and since he was 11 years o d he has 1 een serving the people in t at capa? ty. He is a general tavoriie among the trade. and regrets quitting almost as mm h as others regret t)M him quit. He will enter otter aiid more lucrative bus.ir.ess. Pre bite Item.

Politeness Brings a $5 0OO Lsjacy. A young lady in a department store has fust fallen" heir to $5,000. The money was left her by an eccentric old lady who was treated with great politeness by the young woman when chopping. Her joy was as grett as her surprise whea the money was given her.
