the' First Baptist church, followed by several numbers by a chorus of Whitewater school, girls. Citizens Welcomed. Pres. F. H. Unthank welcomed the visitors In behalf of the Riverdale civic league, the Mothers' league and teachers. He briefly told how the citizens were aroused to the necessity of raising the north section of the city from reproach and the ultimate organization of other leagues. On June 5, he said, a musical program was given at the Whitewater school. Some ' of the most prominent business and professional men of the city were there and spoke on the possibilities of this section. Temporary officers were elected and two weeks later a permanent organization was effected which was called the RIverdale Civic league. ' The alms of the League are, first, mor- ; al elevation; second, beautifying the fhomes; and third, our just proportion of public Improvements. The League 'has meet weekly and has already accomplished much for the people there. He stated that Riverdale had fine educational and religious advantages, that it had manufacturing plants that shipped machinery to all parts of the world, and that there is no more need of policemen in this district than there is any other place in the city. (Applause.) He said that people can come Into this district just the same as on any other street, without being afraid of being robbed or mistreated, ; something which several years back, could notbe promised. Luther C. Abbott was the next speaker and he told in forceful manmer of the excellent possibilities of Riverdale and stated that sentiment '- always moves rapidly when thoroughly aroused. "The result of this awakej ment is to be seen at Starr park, ; this evening," he said. ! Rev. J. O. Campbell the principal speaker of the evening spokp of Riv'erdale in excellent terms. Mr. Campbell said: "This occasion this evening Is the result of enthusiasm and sentii ment and as long as the people of this section have "that, they need have no 'fears that they will not receive their i full share of public improvements. IThls is a great work and It has just : commenced. The league believes in I progress and development. Aspiration lis the chief thing in life and not conjtentment. There Is no place for the i lazy and the sluggard in this busy world. This world is a good place to .travel In, but it is not a good place ; to sleep. There are many things In 'this great wide domain of Gods country thta are to awake the lazy and ithe sluggard." . "The good work has begun and keep l.lt up. Don't let it die out after this ;meeflng is over. Add feeling to it by '.thoughts, words and deeds. There are !three classes of people, the indolent, iwho never do any thing, the Intermediates, . who occasionally wake up and ;do something and then go back to their old ways, anxi the people who iare always reliable, those who can be j depended on to keep things moving. ; That is the kind of people that should have charge of the Riverdale Civic : league and from the enthusiasm of tonight I am sure that it has hustlers iin its midst. Mayor Schillinger was unable to attend the meeting last night on account of sickness and John L. Rupe was also .absent. 1 John F. McCarthy, president of the Commercial club, said that the city ishould look with pride on the efforts ;of Riverdale people, their civic league and upon the magnificent work accomplished. It Is a great satisfaction to see what has been accomplished in Buch a short time, he said. Talks for Y. M. C. A. George L. Goodwin, as an official representative of the Y. M. C. A. said , that "the dollars of the people of this section will go just as far as the dollars of other people in other sections In the help of the Y. M. C. A.." This will be an institution." continued Mr. Goodwin, - "where every body will be treated alike and where the men and the boys will receive moral and edu-

It 13 here that boys get their highest type of physical manhood. The Y. M. C. A. leads the young man on to true well rounded citizenship that is so esssntial in this great land of ours." Speaks for Viaducts. Dr. T. Henry Davis was next introduced as the man who is equally glad to see you well as to see you sick, and In part Mr. Davis said: "From Tenth to Nineteenth street is one of the most suitable manufacturing sites in this city. While there are surface crossings this section will be handicapped. There should be a viaduct at Tenth and Fifteenth streets. Dr. Davis spoke for the establishment of permanent Chautauqua grounds and told of the benefit to be derived by the community. Dr. Davis also spoke on the necessity of more factories so that all could go to work at once. On the question of viaducts he said that the railroad company was willing to meet the city half way. Then with the viaducts would come the traction lines which would make Riverdale one ofthe most important sections of Richmond. Sharon Jones said the people must have enthusiasm with intelligence to get the direct results and the meetpeople could do. He said he was glad that Mrs. Spaulding did not break a bottle of champagne when christening Riverdale. He said "I see fine parents here, fine as there are in any part of the city, and I hope that the time will come, and I don't believe that that time is far hence, until the people of Riverdale will refuse to let jftiy one intoxicating liquors north of th eraiiroad. Cheering and applause greeted Mr. Jones. The last speaker of the evening was Prof. T. A. Mott who said: "Richmond has always been one of the leading educational centers of the middle west. The first academy was in Riverdale and was started by the Friends who run the school for many years. Afterwards it was purchased by the Richmond school board. Benjamin Starr was one of the old residents of the city who always asked the school board to give Whitewater school the best of everything, so that it has always been one of the best in the city. I don't believe that the people will want to change the name of the school to Riverdale, because they will recognizs the historical ' significance of the name Whitewater! In the years to come they will consider it an honor to have a school in their part of the city with such a great historical and educational significance." Following Supt. Motfs speech the meeting adjourned.

HOLY WMUBEGIIS English Doctor Slain by Mulai Haf id's Men. Kasbe-El-Kebir, Morocco, Aug. 13. News has been recived here of the murder of an English doctor by Ermequi tribesmen, who are followers of Mulai Hafid. while he was traveling from this city to Fez. After the murder of the Englishman public criers went through the surrounding country proclaiming a holy war. Mews that Abdul Aziz had crossed the River Oom-Er-Rebla resulted In a decision by Mulai Hafid to dispatch an army of 5,000 men to Morocco City under the command of his brother, Mulai Kebir. and Cald Madni Glacui. Another army which left Tangier for Morocco City a week ago. is blocked at Kemfra by hostile tribesmen. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. If you believe in fortune telling anybody can fool you. After some people have done their duty they' act as if they expect people to cheer. If you are disagreeable, peojple will hate you. There are no exceptions to this rule. When a man is compelled to make an effort to be good natured, he should see a doctor at once. Every man is occasionally against this proposition: He can't afford to, and he can't afford not to. If the attention of those you. are talking to wanders frequently, that is a sign that you are not talking well and ore talking too much. Some people think they are all right if they dont steal. But there are many other things you must do, if you want to stand welt i with your neighbors. Atchison Globe. The Indtapenaable "Well." Across the club luncheon table a man looked up from his grilled sole and proclaimed that no man in England can carry on a conversation without saying "well." The usual bet was made. For a week the two friend" glared at each other, knowing tha. "well" is the beginning of most casual sentences. You may not have noticed that. Dumbly they parted day by day, with a handshake and the word "well" frozen on their lips. After a week one of the two had to con fess that the language bad got the better of him. "Well," he said. "I'd rather drop a sovereign over that dinner than choke that 'well I can't talk without it." London Chronicle. A Hard Shot. A prominent lawyer in Ohio, who was very eccentric, always rubbed his hands and went through several other movements before speaking. One day while In court a younger lawyer, after seeing him do this several times, got up and did it, too, in a very slow and deliberate manner, and, after saying what he was going to, sat down, whereupon the older man got up and said, "That young man acts like a good lawyer, but he talks like a fool." London 'Weather. We may as well own up to the truth that the conventional abuse of our climate and our weather has been greatly overdone. When we are inclined to envy countries whose meteorological conditions have less of the element of "glorious uncertainty" than our own, we are much too ready to overlook the immense advantage we possess in our almost absolute freedom from violent extremes.

There is not so much fun to be pot out of the inquisitive man. ne is generally a mere nuisance, but occasionally he furnishes food for merriinenfc. A certain down east storekeeper was so offensively inquisitive that it was determined to teach him a lesson. Among his failings was a desire to examine the contents of every package which his friends deposited in his stow for safe keeping. He must see the inside if he had to break the package open. One day a man left a stout leather bag, asking that no one disturb It The proprietor walked around restlessly for awhile and then stopped near the bag. Apparently no one was looking. In reality all the store loungers were in the secret and were anxiously awaiting his next move. He nervously fingered the cord that tied the top of the bag for a minute and then quickly untied It He had no time to look in before the contents came forth. They consisted of a score of large and spirited hornets, and the way they lit on all the exposed portions of that Inquisitive man was a caution. He shot out of the store at r pace that would have done credit to a sprinter. They say that for a year afterward he hardly looked into bis own sugar barrel without asking permission. St Louis Globe-Democrat STILL LOYAL. Human Encyclopedia Not Influenced by Display of Bunting. One Fourth of July night in London the Empire Music hall advertised special attractions to American visitors. All over the auditorium the union jack and the stars and stripes infolded one another, and at the Interludes i were heard "Yankee Doodle" and "nail. Columbia," while a quartet sang "Down Upon the Swanee River." Then came the turn of the human encyclopedia, who advanced to the front of the stage and announced him self ready to answer, sight unseen, all questions the audience might pro pound. A volley of queries was fired at him, and the encyclopedia breathlessly told the distance of the earth from Mars, the number of bones in the human skeleton, of square miles In the British empire and other equally Important facts. There was a brief pause, in which 'an American stood up. "What great event took place July 4, 1776?" he propounded in a loud, glad voice. The human encyclopedia glared at him. "Th' hincident you speak of, sir, was a hinfamous houtrage." Everybody's Magazine. How Birds Meet Emergencies. Dr. Francis H, Herrlck says a sparrow will pluck a horsehair from the mouth of a nestling, while another bird, lfibe an oriole, will ' stand by and see' Its mate hang until dead without attempting to. release It A robin will tug at a string which has caught on a limb, but is Dever seen fully to meet the situation by releasing the 6tring. It will make several turns of a cord about a limb and leave the other end free without any relation to the nest, so that Its effort Is useless. It ties no knots. The gull, according to abundant and competent testimony, will carry 6hell fish to a considerable height, drop them on the rocks or hard ground and repeat the experiment until it gets the soft meat Chicago Tribune. Origin of Pommti Souffle. Speaking of the first railway In France, a French . journal points out that it was in connection with this event that the virtues of pommes sojiffiees were discovered. A French chef was traveling on the new line from Paris to St Germain and was preparing in the train the banquet which was to celebrate the opening. Just before arriving at St. Germain he threw some potatoes in the boiling butter. The train, however, was delayed, and the potatoes had to be taken out again. When the train restarted the potatoes were once again put in the boiling butter and to every one's delight were found, on being taken out to be deliclously light and inflated.

No nation ever can or ever did maintain at all times a standing army sufficiently great to defend Itself against all other powers. The strength and the dependence of every government are in her citizen soldiers and are in exact proportion to their bravery and effectiveness. The state militia or national guard In our own country, the auxiliary reserve in England, the landwehr and the landsturm in Germany, stand behind and form the great military reserve of the regular armies of these nations. Army and Navy Life. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Kustachtan Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing-, and when It is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube, restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surface.
