The Glad Hand

'.- You know how It Is yourself. Thousands of dollars have been spent In the preparation of thla Fall Festival and It can be a material success it win be. , . But the real good from this Fall Festival is YOU. , This Fall Festival movement is only to make it possible for men, to know Richmond and for Richmond to know them. That is almost an there It to It. 'v It the town falls down In the making of acquaintances it baa lost the money that is Invested in this Fall Festival end the opportunity. You know in your own affairs that when you buy things from a merchant you go to the man who is your personal friend if it is a large store you pick out the clerk that has a smiling face and gives you the glad hand. So with cities.

Now it Is manifestly Impossible for every man in business here to learn to know his visitors as friends. But the town Is going to be judged by the way in which every man, woman and child behaves toward our guests this week. It is Just . as easy to smile as to frown. It Is just as easy to be courteous as curtand better than that, it acts and reacts again, until th people of the town receive an Inward benefit of their own. Have you ever thought that there are lots of people you see on the street who know you and whom you know whom you see day after day and think It very foolish that after all you do not know them? To know people Is what makes a town worth living In. That is what the Fall Festival is for on a large scale. .

So the last two Fall Festivals have made us rather noted throughout this part of the country for real hospitality to our guests. And we can't afford to lose.lt. To say that this is a good money making policy is to put it In a way . which Is not really true. ; The idea is not to make money out of our friends, but simply to work on the principle that if people really know us and know what we have to sell, they will patronize this town because they feel at home in Richmond and know that we appreciate their trade.

Street car conductors, policemen and other men In public service employ are the most conspicuous of the reception committee. And yet every cltisen who ts worthy of the name will instinctively try to be of assistance in making the visitors feel that this is a place which has a hearty welcome in store for all our friends and our friends are those who come to see us.

Boiled down: It's the glad hand and the smiling face and the courteous word. Every man in Richmond will be conspicuous and wi'! be watched by those who come here.

Hems Gathered In From Far and Near Dlx a Good Candidate. From the New'York Times. After much searching for a candi date the democrats at Rochester have nominated for governor Mr. John A. Dlx, a man of affairs, a business man, who, there is every reason to believe, will administer the public business of the state of New .York as a successful private business is and should be administered, with method, with order, with system, with a sense of accountability for himself and his subordinates, and with a willingness tind the courage to be held responsible for his administration of the trust As a successful business man, as a man charged not only with the care of his own interests but with the proper safeguarding and advancement of the interests of others, Mr. Dlx is In best sense, representative of the intelligent, active, sober minded, conservative and successful citizenship of the Empire state. It Does Loeb Honor. ' From the Boston Post. It Is said that the ultra-fastidious Union League club of New York is holding up the nomination of Collect or Loeb for membership on account of irritation at his custom house doings felt by members of the club who are contributors to republican cam paign funds. If true, this action constitutes the highest honor that has yet come to the energetic and coscientlous collector of customs at Manhattan. It proves that he Is a public servant with brains enough to catch smugglers and courage enough to expose even those of high degree. It is impossible for Loeb's dragnet not to gather In contributors to republican campaign funds and their relatives now and then. If the Union League club wants to disgrace Itself by keep ing him out on this account that is Its own affair. The collector himself will be advanced several points in public estimation by his exclusion. One Cause of Accidents. From the Wilmington News. Perhaps if the truth were known a considerable proportion of the socalled automobile "accidents" would be found to resulted from befuddled heads and unsteady nerves. The menace of a man under the influence of liquor and in an automobile is easily appreciated, and when It is demon strated that crashes on the road are due to drunkenness the punishment should be severe. Those who Insist upon running amuck on the highways should be made to pay a heavy penal ty, whether they be sober or drunk. From the Jersey City Journal. Political platforms hare to a large extent fallen into disrepute. The peo ple have grown so accustomed to see ing platform pledges violated that they have all but lost faith in them altogether. Doubtless this disregard for party promises has had more to do "THIS DATE

with the extensive spread of independence in politics than any other one

thing. A party promise has come to be accepted as almost synonymous with a party lie. The people now look more and more to the candidates, not to platforms.

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE. , CopyrieM. 1 90S, by Edwin A. Nyt WITH VISCXS BOHH. It was at the day nursery on the state fair grounds. - There were babies galore, besides the kiddies of two, three and four years. The little ones were left with the nurses for a small fee to be taken care of while the mothers saw the fair. As a matter of fact the day nursery was Itself one of the best of the shows. Especially attractive were the young folk, who were able to play about In the yard adjoining the cradle department There were sand piles and toys and low swung hammocks and, best of all. grass for toddling feet and tumbling bodies.. The bappy little ones at play at tracted much attention. I noted particularly the men specta tors. Among them were all sorts and conditions well dressed men. ill dressed, old and young, business men. farmers, horsemen, hostlers, roustabouts. And on every face was the same expression smiling kindliness or tender appreciation. Of course there were many women onlookers. They gazed on the babies as all women folk look on them the look of maternal and instinctive fondness' which comes into every woman's face when she sees a baby or a little child.'' -- And the women were profuse in their ejaculations: "Oh, isn't she cute! "What a handsome little boy!" etc.! The men said nothing. . ;' ' The hereditary tendency of masculinity to repress the emotions held them in silence. But the expression was there a look of tenderness for something sweet and innocent As I studied the faces of those men a higher appreciation of my sex came to me. In the heart of every mother's son of them was a tender spot and the helpless, guileless, irinsome young sters touched that spot and brought out in them what was noblest and best. It was pictured on their faces so that be who ran might read. Had you Intimated as much to one of them he would have said, doubtless "Ob, nonsense! I just stopped to look at the kids. " But the look was there. And I wish I might have had a pno tograph of those men's faces with the visors of their helmets down.

A moment ago I was talking with a woman who is first cousin to the late Grover Cleveland. She is a large worn an, round faced, hearty and the most aggressively optimistic person I ever met She believes in herself, In me, in you, in everybody, in everything. She believes in God. "What makes you so radiantly cheer ful?" I asked. "God and cold water." she replied "I be "eve in the goodness of God, and I take a cold shower bath every day. - "And you have no troubles of your ownr 'Troubles!" replied Grover ; Cleve land's cousin, with, broadening smile. "Troubles! Why. my dear sir, I have my full share of them, but I keep them inside instead of letting them get out side for other persons to see. I have a little philosophy of life. It consists in wearing the optimistic outside." ' Hurrah for the optimistic outside! . Let ns put it on, every one of us, and wear it night and day. Let us don It as a garment the optimistic outside, the velvet cloak of cheer, the satin robe of smiles, the embroidered toga of the high senate of human kindli ness. Is there a stinging sorrow In your heart? Wen Don't let it distort your face. Don't let it get outside and sting other persons who bare nothing to do with your sorrow. They have trou bles of their own. Keep yours inside. Wear the optimistic outside. Doing so you will radiate good cheer, and it is inevitable that some of that good cheer will be absorbed into your own system, the troubled department of your spiritual Interior, and cure the hurts you haveGrin and bear It?

WAYI1E COUIITY WAS

Residents of Old Wayne, Throjgh "Underground Railroad Helped Fleeing Dhcks to Freedom.

In treating of the history of Wayne county the past hundred years there is perhaps no chapter that would stand out more prominently than that dealing with the anti-slavery move ment in which many of ber residents took a prominent part the influence wielded here being nation-wide in its effects. The county was noted for its friendliness to the escaping slaves and Fountain City was an Important sta tion on the "underground railway" that carried the escaped blacks on their way to Canada and freedom. Records are incomplete as to the time of the formation of the Richmond Antislavery society, whicn was an auxil iary to the American' Antlslavery so ciety, but it is believed that it was formed about 1S37. That these soci eties were instrumental In hastening the abolition of slavery, is now ad mitted by many who opposed them, or questioned their expediency. There were fifty-two participated in the for mation of the, first society and they are the names of men and women whose descendants are among the most prominent in the community at the present time. , It may excite the wonder of many of the present generation that these ef forts were discountenanced, if not ac tually opposed, by a majority of the people of the non-slaveholding states. It is but just to state, however, says, an historical authority, that much of this opposition arose, not from a regard for Blavery, but from a misappre hension of the aims of the abolition ists and from the supposed tendency of the agitation to excite servile in surrections in the South. The first separate nomination of an tlslavery men as candidates for mem bers of the legislature from this county, was made In 1841. Pusey Gray was nominated for senator; Samuel Johnson, Daniel Winder and Josiah Bell for representative. The number of votes cast in the county for Gray was 442. In 1842 Isaiah Osborn, Hermon B. Payne and Elihu Cox .were candidates, and received between 200 . and 300 votes. In 1844 Charles Burroughs and H. P. Bennett candidates for the senate, received respectively 1,384 and 1,255 votes, being supported also by the democrats. J. Unthank, Isaiah Osborn and Philander Crocker, for representatives, received a little upward of

FRIEND OF SLAVES

300. After this year no anw-siavery nominations were made until 1848. There were In this county many who disregarded both the letter and tha in tent of the law for the reclamation of slaves. Long before any of the present railmaria ware DroJected. "under ground railroads, as they came to be called, were In operation, ana were were a number of stations in this county where southern property was rirMtaitrt for a short time and for warded "with care" to its destination beyond the northern frontier. Arrests of fugitive slaves in this county were not infrequent Among the, cases of rescue of wbich mention is made in the local histories Is the following: A slave was apprehended by a claimant under oath, and brought before Justice John C. Kibbey, but the corroborative evidence : of ownership was insufficient to justify the rendition of the fugutive. The claimant subsequently managed to get a grasp of the negro in the street who, in at tempting to extricate himself from tne grip of his pursuer, was struck a se vere blow by the latter. The offender was arrested for assault and battery, tried and it is believed, fined. ' The negro was conducted by some colored friends to the woods, where he was for a few days supplied with food by Peter Johnson and others, and .helped on his way to Canada. Another fugitive was brought before a justtlto In Richmond. During the trial, the negro, sitting in a raised window, thought proper to let himself fall out backward, into the hands of friends outside. These were trying w draw him out while the friends of the claimant inside, having hold of his legs, endeavored to pull him in. The friends of the negro succeeded In effAntinar his rescue. Against one of them, William Bulla, a suit was brought to recover the .value of the slave, and a judgment was obtained in favor of the prosecutor for S00. Sev eral of the others who participated in the rescue, it is said, shared in the payment of the money. At Fountain City, which was one of the Important stations on the "under ground." Eliza Harris of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" fame, is said to have been sheltered by Levi Coffin, and that much of the story surrounding this incident, and which Harriet Beecher Stowe subsequently used in her story, was secured while Mrs. Stowe was on a visit to the Coffin home. secretary of state from 1849 to 1853.

He or dered champagne by the case and ci gars by the box for the entertainment of such friends as might visit him la hla apartments and. la short, lived aa though he had millions behind him. The proprietor of the hotel. Mr. Ouyer, had heard of Beau, but he could not believe that be would deUberately run up such a large bill If he had no Intention of paying . It and he hesitated about speaking to such an elegant gentlemaa about such an Inelegant thins as money, but after Bean bad been a guest at the Monumental for more them a month and bad said nothing about paying his bill Mr. Guyer summoned up hla courage and had Bean's bia made out and sent up to him. . In a few moments Mr. Guyer received polite but urgent message from Bean. asking htm to come to hi apartments - at once. "I sent for yon. Mr. Gayer eats the inpecunlous bean, to show yon most remarkable document which has been sent up to me from your ofice.

Mr. Gayer. responded Bean calmly. Ton will get yourself laughed at by the entire country for being so foolish as to imagine that yon could collect a bill from Bean Smith. Pray do not subject yourself to each ridicule. Guyer hesitated: he knew be weald be laughed at unmercifully by every one. and. then. too. be could not help but admire tbe colossal cheek of Smith, so be sat down again and lit a fresh cigar.
