E DELEGATES ATTEND MEET Representatives of W. C. T. U. Will Hear Good Sermons Tomorrow. NEW YORK, Oct. 25. Many delegates from all sections of the country arrived today to attend the National W. C. T. U. convention, now in session. The number of delegates now in the city totals several hundred. On Sunday morning ecores of the visiting delegates will speak from the pulpits of various churches in Brooklyn and Manhattan. There has been a great demand for speakers, and many of these affairs have already been arranged. At 3 o'clock there will be a mass meeting at the Academy, with Congressman Richmond I'earson Hobson as the principal speaker. In the evening there will be more pulpit addresses and a young people's mass meeting at the Hanson Place M. E. church, led by Miss Amy SwankieCameron, of England. A devotional meeting will open the day's program on Monday, and at 10 o'clock the final day's session will begin at the Academy of Music with reports and the election of officers. At 1 o'clock there will be an address by Dr. Carl Ottoman, of Denmark, which will be followed by a symposium on woman's suffrage by delegates from England, Australia, New Zealand, China, South Africa, Denmark and Sweden. This will be followed by an address by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw and report of the committee on resolutions. In the evening there will be one hundred one-minute addresses by delegates representing all of the thirty nations participating, and the convention will come to a close with patriotic demonstrations and the singing of national anthems. Lady Hope, of Manchester, England, arrived some time ago and has been staying at the Hotel Savoy. Lady Hope is the leader of the movement for coffee houses for the English poor planned to take the place of "pubs" or saloons. Following the closing of the world's convention in Brooklyn next Tuesday, many of the delegates will go to Asbury Park, N. J., for the National W. C. T. U. convention, which will be held at that resort from October 29 to November 6. The National W. C. T. U. board and executive committee will meet on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, while the convention proper will open on Friday, October 31. WHAT WAS TOPIC OF CONVERSATION BEFORE FASHIONS? "What was the topic of conversation before there was any fashions to talk about?" la a question that has been puzzling Richmond thinkers and the students, since the advent of the diaphanous skirt and the skirt with the slit. Observers have noticed when two women get together they begin by telling each other how becoming their new dresses are, which leads to a detailed specification of the location of all seams, hems, tucks and other technical details. This reminds one of the ladies of a dress which she saw at the theatre the night before. She then describes it. So the conversation runs on, all starting points leading directly to styles. They may start with a dance, a club convention, a football game, a man, a horse race, a magazine story, the theatre, a new way of cooking cabbage, or the universal suffrage, but always they end up by describing a garment of some kind. Here the investigator comes face to face with the question, "What did they talk about?" This In turn leads back to the origin of fashions. Taking what was known to exist at the beginning of the world, students have reached certain conclusions. There were in the beginning, light, "water, earth, animals, apple trees, and Adam and Ere. Adam and Eve upon coming into this new world were probably as awed and interested as the seventy-year-old farmer making his first trip to a city, where they actually have street cars and the women wear slit skirts. Students believe at this time fashions were unknown, at least all representations of persons living at that age do not indicate the presence of any. Adam and Eve, then, talked about the grass, the queer animals, and upon one occasion, the only one of which tnere Is any record, serpents and apples. After that time there were fashions. Miss Irene Hart in Leading Role Takes Part of "Mr. Bob" to Be Presented by K. of C. Miss Irene Hart will play the part of "Mr. Bob," the leading role in" the musical comedy by that name, to be presented at the Gennett theatre by the Knights of Columbus Thursday evening, October 30. She will be supported by a cast of seven and a chorus of thirty-two voices. The chorus, which will be specially costumed, is rehearsing the songs and dances each night. The case follows: Miss Rebecca Luke Martha Geier Torbeck Kathryn Rogers Meta Pfafflin "Mr. Bob" Irene Hart Fattey Marie O'Brien Philip Royson Howard Messick Robert Brown Benton Barlow Jenkins George Zwissler T'le following persons are in the chorus: Misses Thelma Zuttermeister.

Dr. Zimmerman Lauds City Administration

One hundred and fifty persons attended the G. O. P. rally in the city hall last night to hear Dr. Zimmerman defend his administration. A quartet of colored men furnished campaign songs and melodies. Efforts were made !by a number of speakers to discredit jthe charges against the administra tion by Mr. Alfred Bavis and others. They focussed their attention on a statement made by Mr. Bavis relative to the paving costs of North E street and North Thirteenth street, and also to condemning the Democratic tariff, and prophesied immediate national disaster from Democratic rule. Much Political Fervor. In their political fervor the orators wandered far afield but were often applauded by the audience. Attorney Richardson, a colored man, declared that inasmuch as the Republican party had freed the negroes from slavery every colored man should vote for Dr. Zimmerman and the Republican ticket. After an introductory speech, punctuated with funny stories and sarcasm. Chairman Iliff called on By ram C. Robbins, who endorsed Zimmerman and warned the public not to suppose Will Robbins was any relation to his family. "No Robbins worthy the name," he said in his peroration, "will every go astray and vote the Bull Moose ticket." A. C. Lindemuth then appeared and declared every man on the Republican ticket capable of giving Richmond a first-class city government. He traced the doctrines of the Progressive party to Socialists and suffragettes. Mayor Attacks Palladium. Charging inconsistency on the part of the Commercial club and the Palladium in boosting Richmond as the "Panic Proof City" before the Fall Festival, and for the latter's attack on his administration of city affairs as soon as that event was over, Dr. Zimmerman declared that he had been misrepresented so long that he can no longer smile and remain silent. "The Palladium was the first paper to come out endorsing the Fall Festival, and in its columns referred time and time again to Richmond as 'Panic Proof.' Now they assail me and my administration. If they were right A Summary

in World During Week

William Sulzer is now our most extinguished citizen. Since receiving walking papers from Boss Murphy he has retired to the solitudes of NewYork, there to nurse his little grievance against Tammany. At present writing he is busy receiving callers who tell him what they will do to the tiger when once they get a chance. Sulzer now has a chance to go to work and really make something of himself. Owing to the chivalry of President Wilson, Emmeline Pankhurst is now engaged in tramping up and down the land rustling for votes. Timid American sisters will now learn a trick or two. Julian Hawthorne is also out on a tear. He has just spent six months in jail, not gathering literary material, but serving time. Julian used the mails to sell a few little mines with nothing in them, so Uncle Sam sent him, literary genius and all, into cell, also with nothing in it. Immediately after release, with a bath and change, Julian started out to reform our penitentiary system and the world; after he has finished with these small tasks he may go to work on himself. However, this is rumor, so it won't do to indulge in false hopes. Our friend Huerta wishes he were in jail, or some other safe place. The greasers have it in for him, hot and heavy, since sending those hundred and ten deputies to the pen. The poor fellow has exhausted what little of his fine army was left him, having them stand guard against assassins. Huerta loves to call himself the "man of steel," but doesn't yet consider himself bullet proof. Another bunch of miners have cheerfully offered themselves for entombment in a rotten coal mine in New Mexico. At last reports 230 of them were buried alive in the shafts, and only two had escaped. Killing off the men is cheaper than improving the mine. But this was not the only explosion this week; John A. Hennessy, Sulzer's friend and aide, has come out with a charge that Edward E. McCall, Tammany candidate for mayor, bought his judgship with $35,000 furnished by Boss Murphy. Hennessy claims to possess the note. Tying knots in the tiger's tail is great sport. New York is also "het" up over a recent action of the school board, which deposes all women now teaching who have become mothers while holding their position. It is charged that a school marm can't take- care of a baby and a class at the same time. Ten have thus far resigned. To keep up the excitement in the little town, Alexander Irvine has descended with a play, done by himself, and for himself. Alex, was once connected as lay preacher with the Church of the Ascension but was removed by a "nervous vestry" who felt the Irishman mixed up too much Socialism with his gospel. After this bounce the irresistible one made way to Los Angeles where he "plumb nigh" got Job Harriman elected mayor. But Socialist lecturing didn't keep the family in bread, so the versatile author has now written "The Rector of St. Jude" and will star with it at a Broadway vaudeville house, "after." according to the manager, "certain qauntities of profanity have been removed. Over in E. St. Louis, the home of typhoid fever and Budweiser, twentyeight councilmen are sweating large drops of ice water. A grand jury returned indictments against them for grafting while in office. They loved their town but loved $100,000 more. North America is an island. The big blast of dynamite that opened up the inter-oceanic waterway at Panama has at last cut us from South America. Water is now actually in possession. That's something surprising. We all remember how many said it never could be done. Meanwhile the secretary of state is running up and down the continent standins up for the tariff hill and the

then, they are wrong now. If they are right now, they were wrong thf-n. "The paper has never in a single instance printed the truth about me. If the papers had printed the truth, the public would know more about the administration of public affairs, which public ignorance the Palladium would use as an argument against me. I have been guided by the most, able advisers I could find in my management of the affair? of the city. What the Mayor Claims. "During the time that I have been mayor the city has grown. When I first took office, Richmond had only about one-half her present police protection, about three-fifths her present fire department, and her streets were nothing like they are now. "Through me some of the city streets were closed and the Pennsylvania was induced to build its present (i ;ot in place of the old shack that greeted the visitor when he first arrived in the city. I was largely instrumental in bringing the C. & O. through this city. It was through me that the traction people were compelled to remove their tracks from Glen Miller park. "I got the city its present municipal light plant, and made it possible for current and street lights to be furnished for one-half heir former cost. I had North E street paved with brick, and for that reason every laboring man who works in the shops on that street ought to vote for me for mayor, because I was instrumental in getting him out of the duck pond. Why He Didn't Pay Light Bill. "Now as to the reason why I did not make the city pay for street lights. My firtt administration ran the city with a tax rate of $1.04. My successor raised the tax rate to $1.10. expended $125,000 back taxes collected, and still left the city with a deficit of $20,000. There was not even coal in Glen Miller park to keep the flowers from freezing. "I could have let the city pay for the street lights, but if I had done so, it would have necessitated the raising of the tax rate. Rather than do this, I permitted the plant to furnish the current gratis, which it eoujd well afford to do." Other speakers were E. M. Campfield, R. K. Shiveley, George L. Gates and George Conrad.

of Events currency measure now weighing so heavily on the congressional conscience. It won't be long until the whole aggregation takes to the lyceum circuit; that's evidently the surest ivay to get laws passed. If the Chautauqua business keeps up Bryan wilj yet be president. But W. J. is not the only champion of congressional measures. Over a hundred chambers of commerce have voted in referendum on the GlassOwens currency measure and have given almost unanimous approval of the proposed bill. That's more than the bankers did who turned it down kerplunk, almost to a man. If any person wishes to qualify for Easthaven let him spend a week among the labyrinths of that same bill. Chinese puzzles aren't in the same class. All these foreign matters may make noise abroad but what are they compared with our own situation? Here wc are in the thick of the most exciting election ever. Enthusiasts were even betting on the outcome until a mysterious power checked the gamo. City Attorney Bond is going to squeeze a little water from the R. C. W. W. The dear folks have been charging the town for hydrants that don't exist, and doing it for twenty years, according to the attorney. More bacon for the lawyers. Omar Murray is in a pleasant humor these days. He's paying the price for being a great captain of industry. What! Hasn't he a full flledged labor crisis on? His men are preparing to strike and he is preparing to strike back. But above all. beloved, let us continue holding our breath. When did Are You albey.
