Apparently the cold wave which Struck this vicinity recently has come j to stay. At least there is no indica-! tion of its abatement soon for it is altnost as cold today as it has been at fcny time this winter. The mercury tlropped to 4 degrees above zero last night but during the morning jumped up again and at noon registered about j 35 degrees. It was also cold all day; yesterday the lowest point registered
ty the thermometer being 5 degrees nbove early yesterday morning. The chilly atmosphere was prevalent all last week also. The highest point reached by the mercury was on Monday, the 13tb, when 45 degrees was recorded. The silver liquid then began to drop and each succeeding day was colder than the previous one, until on Saturday there was a very decided drop the official thermometer at the pumping station registered 4 degrees above zero. Thursday and Saturday were the only perfectly clear days during the past week. The rain fall was light, there being .64 of an inch of precipation recorded for the first two days of the week. There was also traces of rain on Tuesday. The daily temperature as taken by AValter Vossler at the water works pumping station east of the city was lis follows:

vaudeville line that will be much appreciated. The management of the Murray has made an effort to put on a show for this Christmas week that will fill the expectations of the public. The Four Benningston's head the bill with one of the most popular acts now on the vaudeville stage. It is a
combination of music, mirth and mel- j ody. The production is entitled "The 1 Mystic Falls," and while it is a production of clever acting the special scenery carried by this company makes ;
it very beautiful and attractive. This act is a treat to this city. Arthur Deming, the f uaous niinstrl man. formerly with the Vogels Minstrels, will also entertain the audiences with that clever black face comedy that has made him so popular all over the country. He is so well known that it would be useless to try to introduce him to the Richmond show goers. Rentfrow and Janscn present a little sketch entitled "The Second Mr. Fiddle." This little playlet is simply bubbling over with mirth and laughter.
though their work is very difficult and requires unbelievable strength and endurance, it is performed with perfect ease.

Plenty of It Has Been Done Right Here In Richmond. Cures tbat last are cures that tell. To thoroughly know the virtue of a medicine you must investigate the cures and see if they prove permanent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test, and plenty of proof exists right here in Richmond. People who testified years ago to relief from backache, kidney and urinary disorders, now declare that relief was permanent and the cure perfect. How can any Richmond sufferer longer doubt the evidence? Miss Frances Hamilton, 27 N. Ninth
Street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I was aDnoyed greatly by pains through the
small of my back and in my should
ers. When my sister advised me to
try Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store and two boxes freed me from the trouble. I think highly of Doan's Kidney Pills and consider them worthy of recommendation." The above statement was given in July 1906 and on December 12, 190S, Miss Hamilton added: "I have had no return of kidney complaint since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me. I am always glad to say a good word in praise of this excellent kidney remedy." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co- Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States.

WE SHOULD FORGIVE
Rockefeller's Pastor Thinks Americans Should Excuse Gladstone.
NEVER FORGAVE HIMSELF
New York, December 20. The errors of Americans who cannot forgive and forget the attitude of William Ewart Gladstone toward the United States during the Civil War were deplored by Rev. Dr. C. F. Aked in his sermon at the Fifth Avenue Baptist church Sunday. The centenary of Gladstone's birth will be December 29th. John D. Rockefeller and his son,
formal recantation, made 35 years later, when he declared his course to have been the most inexcusable error of his life, and spoke of it as an "offense of incredible grossness." "I hope that Americans who cannot accept such a whole-souled confession may never have occasion to seek forgiveness for themselves," he added. "Gladstone was one of the great
ministers of the world, and be also j kept the soul of England alive. He
came of a slaveholder family; yet he became an apostle of liberty. He helped to free Ireland from an unsympathetic church and strove to free her from the control of unsympathetic, absentee landlords." The preacher referred to Gladstone's opposition to divorce, and said that throughout his life bis dominant spirit was religious.

Never Forgave Himself. "I have been told by many Americans," said Dr. Aked, "that much as
Pope as a Witness. Pope, like Garrick, made but a poor figure in the witness box. He was cited to appear In defense of Bishop Atterbury when that prelate was tried for high treason in the boose of lords in 1723. "I never could speak In public," he told Spence afterward, "and 1 don't believe that if it was a set thing I could give an account of any story to twelve friends together, though 1 could tell it to any three of them with a great deal of pleasure. When I was to appear for the bishop of Rochester In bis trial, theugb 1 bad but ten words to say and that on a plain point (bow the bishop spent his time when I was with him at Bromley).

Her Military Activity. Exact reports of Japan's military ac
tivity have been received at the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is true that the most onti-
mistic attitude is being maintained,; particularly on account of the view of
M. Isvolsky. who has adopted for his motto "healthy optimism," in regard
to Japan, also because the Ministry of
War has not fully informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the situation because of the strained relations existing between General Soukhomlinoff and M. Ilvolsky. The existing state of alarm was caused by a report submitted by the governor of Kamchatka. Japanese officers on furlough hare received orders to rejoin their color3 within a week. Military supplies have been ordered prepared, a large supply of quinine and medicated bandages being obtained from Berlin. Another move which is significant is seen in the order recently given to governors of varioM districts to check emigration Into Siberia. A number of emigrants ready to depart were forbidden to leave Smolinsk district Count Witte's visit to Berlin is also explained as having the purpose of determining how Germany looks upon the situation.

Crushed the Diamond. Among historic diamonds one. the Plggott, has gone out of existence.
i The story of its destruction is a trag
ical one. It was said to be worth 1200.000. The diamond came into the possession of All Fasba. who always wore it in a green silk purse attached to his girdle. He was wearing it when he was wounded by Resbid Pasha. Knowing that his wound was mortal, be immediately retired to his divan, gave orders that bis favorite wife should be poisoned and then delivered the diamond to Captain D'Angias with the
order tbat it should be crushed to powder In bis presence. His command was obeyed, and the beautiful gem was utterly destroyed.

Such instruments, however, contain spirts in the bulbs instead of mercury, but even this fluid becomes sluggish when 40 or SO degrees below zero is recorded, and It will seldom show 60 degrees below.
