The new press ordered a short time ago for the Palladium plant has arrived, and is being unpacked in the room formerly occupied by the postoffice in the Masonic Temple building. The press comes from the shops of the Hoe Company in New York and is the finest piece of machinery of its kind in the city. It is a massive piece of work and required two freight cars for its transportation. An agent of the Hoe company will arrive here tomorrow to set up the press. , It will probably require ten days for the work at the end of which time, the Palladium will be in a fair way toward having its new home fitted up. v With the press came a sufficient number of imposing tables, after a modern pattern. When the Palladium occupies its new offices, the mechanical department will be the best equipped of any in this part of, the state. Two typesetting machines, with new appliances which greatly add to the speed will be in use.1" 'The new press can print a two, four, six, eight, ten or twelve page paper, with great rapidity and the new type which had been ordered, will enable tha Palla dium to be a model of typographical Neatness. , .

The many friends of David Sands are of the opinion that he has not done r the right thing by them, and when he goes to work this morning at the Pogue Miller wholesale hardware house be will be given a warm reception. ; The cause of all this agitation is the fact that Sands, without making one of his friends a confidant, quietly slipped out of the city Monday morning, and the same evening was married to Miss Minnie Cook at Flint, Mich., the home of the bride. Mr. Sands is one of the best known young men of this city and the news of his little romance will be received with surprise, as no one but the groom's family was aware of the fact that Mr. Sands harbored, intentions of becoming a benedict. The bride is also well known in this city having at one time been employed as a trimmer at the millinery store of Mrs. -Mary. I. Martin, 525 Main street. She left Richmond last fall and went to her home in Flint. Mr. and .Mrs. Sands returned to Richmond last evening and for the time being will make their home with the groom's "parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Sands, 36 North Eleventh street.

Mrs. Peter Kuhhuan, 57 years old, dropped dead at her home, 203 North, Sixteenth street, shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon while preparing supper. Death was due to heart paralysis. Fifteen minutes before Mrs. Kuhlman was found dead by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Charles Kuhlman, she was talking to her daughter-in-law and some other neighbors on the outside of the house. At that time she did not say anything about being sick nor did her appearance indicate that she was not in her usual health. When found Mrs, Kuhlman was lying on the kitchen floor, and Coroner Markley, who arrived shortly after she was discovered, said that the deceased must have fallen dead shortly after leaving her neighbors.; Death according to Dr. Markley, came easily for there were no signs of a struggle. The deceased is survived by her husband and one .son, Charles. Until a year ago when her health prevented it, Mrs. Kuhlman was an active worker in the First English Lutheran church. The funeral arrangements will be announced later. WEATHER INDICATION". Temperature. February 27, 1905. Morning ........... ...23 Noon 34 Night ,....37 February 27, 1906.

MISUNDERSTANDING EXISTS

There is a Doubt in the Mind of the County Treasurer How to Construe Law. Today City Attorney A. M. Gardner, City Controller Omer Whelan, County Treasurer B. B. Myrick, Jr., and P. J. Freeman, attorney for B. B. Myrick, Jr., will meet in consultation in regard to the method to be employed in the . payment of city taxes by the County Treasurer to the City Treasurer. At the present time there is a dispute between City Treasurer Tennis and County Treasurer Myrick on this matter, but it, is thought that a suitable arrangement can be decided upon without difficulty. In the provisions of the towns and cities code "passed by the last legislature, city taxes are to be paid to

Under the act the county treasurer turns the city's share of the taxes over to the city officials- and it is required that a settlement shall be made onthe first of each month. The City of Richmond's share of the tax receipts for the month of January was something over $700. When' City Treasurer Tennis called on County Treasurer Myrick for this amount, he was' informed , that the money would not be forthcoming without a voucher from County. Auditor Haries. This voucher was denied by Mr. Hanes for technical reasons and it is for this reason that the county and city officials will get together . today. ,. Last evening City Attorney Gardner stated that he thought the matter would be settled without much waste of i time. It is his opinion that an arrangement will be made whereby the county treasurer will approximate each month-the amount he has collected of the city's taxes," and pay the same to the city treasurer, taking the proper receipts for it. The books of the count v trenstirer will be balanced at the end of each r six4 months, when the auditor will issue warrants for the full amount due the city, and the difference between the amount that has been previously advanced, and the amount shown on the' books, will then be, paid. Owing to the complexity of tie tax books it would be almost impossible to balance them once a month. V ;

GOT BACK Oil 4 CONDITIONS

Principal Ellabarger Will Make a Personal Effort to Get All . . Students Back. With the exception of three, all of the thirty four pupils who were dismissed from the High School last Friday, for exhibiting class colors in the school building, have been reinstated, after signing a paper which will hereafter bind them to better conduct, and to the dropping of the old time custom of having a class day patterned after college life. The majority of parents stood by the school authorities, holding that law and order are the essential points first of all; in an education. One parent says that his son shall not sign the paper,, and two more thought at first that it s was too strong, but were later won over to the principal's side. . ... ' ""III"' W fW""tyffltt Wilt. Chicago Inter Ocean. Of the three who have not yet been admitted, one is a boy who absolutely refuses to sign ; one is a boy whose father refuses to allow him to sisrn and the other is a girl whose father will not help her out of the trouble, she is having with the school authorities, as he warned her beforehand what would come of wearing the class colors. Prof. Ellabarger is trying to bring these pupils back to the school and unless they come, he will make a personal visit to their parents and try to induce them to insist upon their return. The paper which was signed by the pupils was divided into four subdivisions. First, they were to acknowledge that law and order are necessary in the correct management of a school. Second, that the action of the pupils on Friday was against the best interests of the school. Third, that they now see that they did wrong and that if reinstated, they will always do as required by the Sehool Board and the authorities of the school, especially in regad to the wearing of class colors, or public demonstrations. Fourth, that each "pupil remain loyal to the school to the best of his or her ability. All of these thinirs were agreed to by the returning Juniors. " LAST NIGHT'S POLO.

Mrs. Maria Fossenkemper died at midnight last night of pneumonia after a short illness at her home in Glen Miller Park, and her husband, Henry F. Fossenkemper, the well known Park superintendent, is at the point of death, without any hope of recovery. Mrs. Fossenkemper has been nursing her husband during his long illness and but recently her health broke. Saturday she contracted pneumonia, and in her weakened condition, could not withstand the attacks of the disease. Mr. Fossenkemper has been sinking rapidly, and at the time of her death last night, was too low to be told of it. The deceased was well known in the city and for many years had been a nurse, frequently taking care of sick pei-sons, outside her own household, until the illness of her husband. )

ARE ARRANGING A FEAST. The "Day Dodgers" are arranging a feast to be given in Lindley Hall Tuesday, March 6.

WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR A DOG CONGRESSMAN EPaAR-CRUM-PACKER EXPRi ' vJs HIM- . ( SELF ON STILWELL. v. V , t TALKS Oil EIGHTH DISTRICT -... ;i si, up. He Says That Situation . There is a Downright Outrage Stands Tor Cromer. (Palladium Special.) Washington, Feb. 27. Representative Edgar Dean Crumpacker, today expressed in unvarnished language, his opinion of the treatment that is being accorded Representative Cromer, by the latter 's political opponents in the eighth district. "I do not recall," said he "That I ever heard of a more outrageous and high handed proceeding in politics than the effort that is being made to deprive Cromer of his right to run for Congress, by fixing the assessment so high that a poor man lilte himself can not pay it. If the eighth district lS not thoroughly steeped in political sins it will resent such treatment. "I count myself a pretty good Republican, even a straight laced Republican, if you please, but if I lived in the eight district and Horace E. Stilwell should be nominated, as a result of such methods as are now being ; attempted, I ' would vote for some other candidate for Congress at the fall election. I would even vote for a yellow dog in preference to him." "I say this without any feeling toward Stillwell personally, but because I believe that his defeat would be the very best thing that could hap-, pen to the Republican party. Just such acts of bossism and gang rule accompanied by the unscrupulous use of money as we are witnessing in the eighth district tends to bring the party into the mire of disrepute all over the country." Miss Ethel Marlatt has returned from a week's visit with relatives at Cincinnati.

ACTS Ofl REQUEST OF PARIS

St. Petersburg Has Made Representa tions to Berlin Anglo-Russian Treaty Favored by Witte. St. Petersburg, February 27. Rus sia is using all her influence at Ber lin to prevent a rupture between France and Germany. Her action has

been taken at the instance of Paris, where the rouvier government is apparently convinced that Germany proposes to persist in her attitude even to the point of provoking war. On account of the close relation existing between the courts of. Berlin and St. Petersburg, it is. believed in France that Russia will '.have more influence on Emperor- William than any other power." ; Earnest representations in favor of concessions, to insure avoidance of an appeal to arms were accordingly being made to which Germany replied that she. had --"no desire to provoke war. Nevertheless she gave no -indication that she proposed to modify her attitude and Russia's latest advices from Algeciras indicate that practically all hope of an agreement has been abandoned. Although Count Cassini, head of the Russian mission reports that the conference will be ' fruitless, he expresses a decided opinion that hostilities will not result. -' '.. .', ' . .. - : . Russia is much concerned - about the situation as war between France and Germany would greatly embarrass her... Not only is the Russian government so engrossed with the in-. : -

terior situation as not to be in'a'po-V-sition to offer aid to' her ally, but war would end the possibility of contracting .another loan in Paris, of which rt . ? a

nussia is, in urgent neea. ' , . . Premier Witte has now become a distinct" advocate of an Anglb-Rus-' r j sian understanding and it is understood that negotiations have been or are about to be reopened in London to determine the status of this agreement. If they are successful a new grouping of the powers will undoubtedly check Germany's ambitions. The only obstacle to an understanding is the dispute regarding the respective spheres of influence of Russia and Great Bitain in Persia, as the Russians are loath to abandon their plans for reaching the Persian gulf. ' ' ' An ambassador in the Russian capital has, expressed the opinion that war between France and Germany is inevitable.
