THE RETAIL MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION TO DISCONTINUE THEIR USE. MEETING LAST NIGHT 117 Members Now Needs of Association Results .. ' Shown.
The Richmond Retail Merchants' Association will from now turn a "cold shoulder" tothe scheme of trading stamps as a factor in increasing trade and the members of this association will have nothing to do with them those who are using the stamps resigning them and those who are not promising not to start the use. The fight against the illegitimate advertising : having proved so successful, the merchants will attempt to get along without trading stamps, which they regard as a "gift enterprise" and one to be classed with the bad advertising. The meeting last evening was most harmonious. Sixty-five firms were represented out of the one hundred and seventeen now in the association and all expressed a desire: (1) that there shuld be no factional quarrels among themselves; (2) that the
association should present a strong
front in its present fight; (3) that there should be no internal dissensions, as these would weaken the general strength of the association and cause its efforts to be of little avail. Talks were made by Sharon Jones G. II. KiiollcnberiT, Freeman Haisley. Bennett Gordon, Joe Nicholson and others on the benefits that would accrue to the merchants from the association, on the good work it is doing and will do, on the need of it
and on several other similar lines of thought. The good results of the fight are even this early becoming apparent, a most encouraging, and the merchants feel that their efforts against injudicious advertising and trading stamps will be successful. VLADIVOSTOK FLEET.

Details of Ship In Ransla'a Flying; Siualru. . First a::iong Russia's still untouched resource;; i u:st be reckoned the Vladivostok Hying squadron, of which we httve heanl so much, says Charles Johnston in Harper's Weekly. The biggest ship in the Vladivostok squadron is the (Jroiuoboi, of 12.330 tons displacement, and therefore heavier by 2.rX) tons than the heaviest cruiser in the Japanese tleet. and outstripping our own heaviest cruiser by an even greater auK.unt. She has a
primiry battery of four eight-inch quick tiring guns in armor casemates, supported by sixteen six-inch quick firing guns and no less that forty-eight of lesser caliber, with live torpedo tubes. This big ship can do twenty knots and is exceeded in weight by only four cruisers in the Iiritish navy, there being nothing else of lrer class to equal her elsewhere in the navies of the world. Second hi the Vladivostok squadron conies the Itossia. launched three years earlier and within L'tiu tons of the same displacement. She has also four eightinch and sixteen six-inch quick tiring guns and forty-eight of lesser caliber. She has a belt of armor live to eight inches thick, but her batteries are not so well guarded as those of her bigger sister. She can also do about twenty knots, which would take her across the Atlanlic in about six days. This ship has six torpedo tubes. Of less speed is the Kurik, displacing 11.OO0 tons, or about l.'JiiO more than Japan's best cruiser. She has a similar armament, though not quite so extensive,
and only four torpedo tubes. Add the Bogatyr. built in Cermany, a much lighter, but also much faster ship, doing twenty-three knots, and thus able 1o keep up with the fastest ocean greyhound. She displaces G.fiOO tons and has twelve six-inch quick tiring guns and eighteen of less weight. This new and rapid ship will doubtless scout for the squadron, and there are only four Japanese ships, all cruisers of less tonnage, that could keep up with her. The work of this VladivostOK squadron will be to attempt to prevent Japan landing troops anywhere on the outer coast of Korea.
Title BentoTved on Chicago by Dr. PeBrsons, College Benefactor. Chicago is the City of Benevolences, according to Dr. I). K. Pearsons, who, having given somewhere in the neighborhood of $4,000,000 to small colleges in the last few years, has qualifications as an authority, says the Chicago Post. Dr. Pearsons recently sent $."0,000 to a California school to keep his part ot an agreement to raise $150,000 and
learned that his gift had been duplicated by one from four other citizens of Chicago. Dr. Pearsons likewise telegraphed to colleges in North Dakota, Missouri and Oklahoma, which had failed to fill the conditions imposed by his system of philanthropy, that he would extend the time limit until next fall, giving them another chance to gain $50,000 each. These three schools are the only remaining institutions to which Dr. Pearsons is under obligations. "This is the benevolent city," said Dr. Pearsons recently. "Four years ago It was practically impossible to interest a Chicagoan in a plan to aid educational' institutions, but now it is to Chicago that people come to solicit help rather than to Npw England and the east. There are three women in this city who follow me in my gifts and add $10,000 to the fund of each college that I help. "Tell their names? No, indeed. Do you want me to cause them all the annoyance I have had with college beggars at my heels all the time? It is a fact that every 'literary college in the United States, save ten, has called on me at my home in Hinsdale to ask me to add to its endowment fund. I permit my gifts to become known be
cause the printers' ink used in making
them public is a great stimulus to others to give. If people did not know of such things there would be no incentive. "There is no educator who is a business financier. In all small colleges you will find superior education and lack of funds. One-half the people do not know what the word 'endowment' means, especially college presidents. After awhile I am going to the thirty colleges which have received endowments from me and demand an examination of their books and a yearly statement of receipts and disbursements. In other words, I propose to elect myself professor of economy in every college to which I have given money." Dr. Fearsons has been the cause of the financial prosperity of colleges in several states. To Illinois small colleges he has given $1,300,000.

Three Symbol of Jf pan. The three symbols of the imperial house of Japan are the mirror, the crystal and the sword, and they are carried in front of the emperor on all state occasions, says Leslie's Weekly. Each has its significance. "Look at th mirror and reflect thyself," or, in other words, "Know thyself," is the message of the mirror. "Be pure and shine" is the crystal's injunction, while the sword Is a reminder to "Be sharp." Try the Palladium for job printing.
Pumice From Hiiusin. The mineral wealth of Russia is hardly appreciated, and new industries are from time to time being developed, though the effect of the present war may be felt in many new schemes, says Harper's Weekly. A recent proposition is the development of the pumice stone, which has been found in the provinces of Erivan and Kars, in Transcaucasia. The deposits in Kars, at Malayakutma, are near the surface in horizontal strata and occasionally run over two and a half feet thick, furnishing a high grade mineral that is used 'for polishing and a poorer quality from which hydraulic cepaent can be made. The material Is convenient to Kars, from which place it will be shipped by rail to Poti, on the Black sea, and thence conveyed by steamer to Odessa. When the works are operating to their full capacity several million pounds a year of the material will be produced. The world's supply of pumice is now largely derived from the Llpari Islands, near Sicily.
