Of late a great deal has been said

about the unsanitary condition of our

city. ' Yet the autolst continues to

throw dust in the air. We cry tor tu

bercullne tests, but no active measures

are taken to prevent tuberculosis. We still eat dust daily and no measure is

taken to sprinkle our streets or other

wise settle the dust I have traveled through many cities and have never

yet seen anything to equal the clouds

of dust in the city of Richmond. Even In our homes there is no refuge from

the dust In warm weather we must

keep our windows open and the auto

scorcher fills our homes with dust and

our hearts with misery. -

Besides the annoyance he gives us from dust, he together with the small

boy on roller skates or bicycle endangers the lives of pedestrians. Is there

no protection for the old, the sick and

the afflicted, or for. the innocent child

as he hurries to and from school? , Let us take some measure for selfprotection. Let a sanitary commit

tee be appointed whose duty it is to look into these things and report to the city officers. ' In case they do not act let us as citizens who. desire the

welfare of our city, refuse to support them at the coming election. Let this committee visit every dwelling and report, regardless of person or pres

tige or power. AN OLD CITIZEN.

COURTESY SLIPS.

- The Useful Consular Reports. From the Springfield Republican.

The daily press of the land mourns the loss of an esteemed contemporary in the demise of the Daily Consular and Trade Reports, which has issued from tiie Department of Commerce and Labor for several years. In its

place will appear a weekly publica

tion. We hope this change does not forbode -the suspension of the publica

tion of these reports entirely, as has

been urged by some mistaken advo

cates of economy. The reports have

served a - valuable purpose, and no doubt as our consular ; service improves they can be made still more instructive and useful. From our own experience and from a careful reading of exchanges from all parts of the country, we can affirm that the consular reports receive constant and faithful attention in newspaper offices, and ths Information they purvey is reproduced far and wide. Inexpensively gotton up, they are worth their cost a good many times over, and we hope they will continue. These reports form a convenient medium of bringing to the public much useful information concerning laws, inventions and institutions in foreign lands and particularly of acquainting manufacturers and merchants with trade, opportunities , abroad that may lead , to inestimable advantage and profit to Americans. We can understand that certain concerns that have private avenues to such information might be very glad to have it withheld from the knowledge of competitors. Quite " often the clamorous protest against waste of public funds has some such selfish purpose back "of it Ws are induced to speak of (his. matter of the consular reports because there have been frequent signs that their issuance 'in the form mentioned has met with opposition, similar! to that which has succeeded already in shutting oft the sending out of matter Intended to stimulate the conservation movement and the forestry cause especially. A curtailing of printed matter issued from time to time by the bureau of statistics and bureau of census also seems to have ben undertaken. The reduction of governmental expenditures is a very good thing, but It seems to us that a great deal of matter now issued from the government lartrting offlcs and sent out . . under ":tr raljit be dispensed with mors

The Indianspolis' Commercial Club bat the right ides. It has Jus$ gone to a job printer and ordered twelve thousand slips of paper printed with hints to motormen, policemen and other city employees, advising them as to the treatment of visitors to the city. The Indianapolis Commercial club might go ever farther and distribute the courtesy slips among all the citiaens of Indianapolis. The gates of the city in these modern days are not holes in a wall with a drawbridge to let down over the moat " ' The modem city Is throwing down the walls and using the pliers on the barbed wire fences of conservatism and selfishness. f'-"- -Indeed, cities are not only sending out engraved Invitations, but personal representatives, to show the customers and prospective buyers what ; can be had in the town.' It will therefore, be taken as no reflection on Richmond's treatment ot i her friends from out of town if the suggestion is made that every man be ion the lookout for the man from outside the city limits.,. Give him the smile, and the courteous word, be patient with the man ' from out of town, and tell him whatever he wants to knowl

Every year Richmond has invited men from all over this part of the country to come to Richmond and see what we are doing what we are manufacturing what we have that other places have not This is the object of the annual Fall Festival. . And it has paid. V '-' Now every business man knows the advantage of . the "follow up" system in securing trade. If he does not, he is not up to the standard of modern business methods. l The "follow up" system to be used in this matter is simply a matter of politeness. And courtesy means simply the expression ot sincere kindly feeling. : -.'

"Where is Main Street?" "Where is the hotel the best one and which is the popular rate house?" v "Where is the post office?" You know the sort of questions that you ask when you go to another town.

L A soft answer not only turns away wrath but it is the making of cusi tomers. And you that have places of business, treat your competitor as a fellow citizen. When some man comes Into your store from out of town and ' cannot find exactly what he wants to buy send him to the man in Rich- : mond who can suit him. In this way you will have helped Richmond and the man who comes here to trade. In this way you will have made the customer your friend. , He will have confidence in you and will therefore feel that you are a good man to trade with. . ' ' '" He will say good things of the town in so far as you have displayed your belief in the city and treated him courteously, and he will act on the way he feels. ; And having said these things to everyone in the town, the police and the motormen of the town will understand that there is not criticism but simply encouragement to keep on being courteous to the best of their ability to all the people who come from out the town. The temptatiolHn the ' rush and turmoil of a tired day, when it vexes the patience of an archangel is to give the short answer.

; - The Bucket Shop. From the Dayton News. These ' be evil days for the bucket shops. The United States Government has finally decided that the country can get along very well without them and nearly all of the states have put a ban upon them, and they are no longer welcome in even the most wideopen city. They are, therefore, being softly and silently tucked away in the grave in which slumber the lotteries that prospered in the good days gone. Of all of the forms of gambling that were ever invented, the bucket shop was the most insidious, because it was supposed to be the most respectable. It was the most hazardous and the most subtle, and it caused the downfall of more men than all other forms of gambling combined. Compared with the bucket shop, faro Is a child's pastime, and poker a game for old women. .

You say you are but a bumble body and your thoughts may not be written down for the world to read and benefit? But think a moment! Have you this day put a single one of your clean, gracious, uplifting suggestions into somebody's mind? , The power of suggestion is tremendous. A good or evil thought well planted in the heart of your friend is mental' dynamite. And if that suggestion goes from the heart of your friend to the heart, of his friend, who knows the end of it and the Influence of it?. What have you done today?

(Special Cable from the International Newi Service.)

Berlin, April 16. During a visit to Monte Carlo, Baron von Maasenbecb, a lieutenant in the German. Reserve,

made the acquaintance of a "masseuse," Josephine Bendel, a Austrian by birth. One day, in the course ot conversation, she mentioned to him that she knew a gentleman in a high military position in Prussia who was treasonably exploiting bis opportunities in the interests ot France. The Baron was naturally Interested by this communication, and diligently followed it up. Finally Frauleln Bendel agreed to be put on oath, and solemnly swore that she could, and it a sufficiently pecuniary inducement were held out to her would supply the name and address ' of the traitor, together with a photograph of the fortress, plans of which he had sold to the war office in Paris for $500,000. She add

ed a number of corroborative details.

which need not be repeated here.

Baron Massanbach . transmitted ,

what he had heard to Berlin.' The re--suit was, that the first time Bendelwas so imprudent as to cross the Ger

man frontier she found herself in the'

hands of the police. ' She did not .recant her strange story, however, but on the contrary, made it all the more astounding by asserting that the treasonable individual was none other than

the chief of the Emperor's Military Cabinet, General Baron von Lyncker.

Confronted with the general she at

once admitted that she had made a

mistake to identity, but nevertheless stuck to it- that what . she had said was otherwise correct The police Investigation, however, produced the impression that the whole story was a

conventional proceeding, and the au

thorities decided to prosecute) her for libelling Baron Lyncher,- and she was put ca , trial at' Berlin, this morning sad sentenced to eight months imprisonment

TWINKLES

(By Philander Johnson)

" Human Vanity. "Some women are terribly vain," said the censorious person. "Yes." replied Miss Cayenne, ?they

"De man dat am willin' to be de goat once in " awhile." said Uncle Eben, "ought to mind his own business an' keep rum buttin in."

To the Weather Man. A few kind words are all we ask To stifle thoughts of wintry storm, ' Oh, let it be an easy task To keep on saying "fair and warm!"

Fate of the Unfamiliar. . "I understand that you have two brand new jokes in your dialogue." : "Yes," replied the musical comedian. . "What are they?". "You recognise them by the way the audience treats them as strangers and refuses to give them a smile."

Heroes of the Hourl Now many a familiar name Is fading from the scroll of fame, While others gleam in letters grand. To wake the plaudits of the land. No tribute soft nor sharp complaint Is now addressed without restraint Unto the powerful or rich. We shout " Tis Johnson who will pitch!" And add in tones by hope made sweet "The catcher's no one less than Street!" "Milan!" and "Schaefer!? "Lelivelt!" What glad expectant thrills are felt At mention of them; and what pride We feel in Unglaub and McBride! And courage plumes itself anew

Near at H,and. A clergyman startled his congrega-

ion by Informing them that it was his Intention in a few days' time to go. on a mission to the heathen. At the close

of the service many prominent members crowded about him and expressed

astonishment at this unexpected turn

in bis affairs and begged to know when he was going, where lie was going and what they were going to do while he

was gone. . ' . -V':W.V "My good friends." said he, "to go on a mission to the heathen will not necessitate my lea ring town. Ask yourselves whether that is not the case."

Rehearsals for the Messiah concert to be given Wednesday, April 27th, have been held in the Murray theater In order to test the accoustic properties of the auditorium. Director Chase expresses himself as exceedingly pleased with the result The chorus seems to be of exactly the right size for the hall and the work ot the

chorus was moat satisfactory. Word

has been received from the . soloists that tbey will be here for the morning rehearsal with the chorus. Some anxiety has been felt because

Clarence Adler, the solo pianist for the concerts,' had suffered seriously

from the grippe, but he is completely recovered and his recital in the afternoon, assisted by Mr. Louis F. Bursett basso cantante. is being looked forward to by all local musicians with great Interest , The canvass for the sale of seats continues to progress

satisfactorily, and it is predicted that by the time the plat opens at the Starr Piano ware rooms next Thursday afternoon, at 4 o'cock a large part

of the house will , have been sold.
