blow struck by the dowager empress.
The successive edicts furnish a historj

opposed him, and consulted Ihe dow?

these reforms.
AFRAID OF THE JAPANESE.
The current story is that Ihe im?
mediate cause of il.mperor's down?
fall was that he a|.ared one day in
European clothes. This offense, II ap?
pears, was aggravated by the arrival
in China of the Marquis llo, the Jap?
anese statesman, which alarmed the
palace officials as foreshadowing
Japanese domination n the empire's
councils. Thereupon, the dowager em?
press acted with wonderful promptness
and deposed her n< phew before t lie

hall.

As ???.elation, of Philadelphia, occupied
S(-ats at the head of (be table.
After the feasting was over. Mr. A
L. Powell, of tin- Citizen's Executive
Committee, introduced Mayor Moss,
who, in proposing Pennsylvania. Ken- J
tueky. Maryland. North Carolina and
Virginia, as a toast, made a felicitous |
little speech: the toast was drunk
standing.
Th.-n the speaker of the evening, Mr.
William Abies, was introduced. Owing j
to the confusion in ihe hall at the time
it was dillieult for the Philadelphia
veteran to make himself heard, a
only a few of those nearest to him wi
able lo understand his excellent spee
alt hough it was delivered in a strong |
and clear voice.
Mr. Abb s' address was frequently ap?
plauded by Ihe red-coated Virginians,
who were evidently fully in sympathy
with the patriotic sentiment expressed
by him.
Loud calls were here made for the
retiring secretary. Mr. George G. Cum
ming, of Portsmouth, but he had
modestly withdrawn frum the room and |
could not be round.
Mr. Powell then* introduced Colonel]
Tom Hall, of the Louisville Courier
.Journal staff, who represents a veteran |
volunteer association of his city,
made a clever little speech which]
abounded with happy allusions to the
"fair daughters of Virginia." He was
proud in the reception which he had
been accorded in Newport News and I
hoped to have the privilege or returning]
some of ihe courtesies extended him.
This part of the program was brought !
to :i elose by a long list of "three
cheers." which seemed to include
everybody from the number of times I
the performance was repeated and from
Ihe vim with which the cheers were]
given.
After ihe banquet was over several of J
Ihe bands gathered on the Cnsi
grounds and discoursed a number of
popular airs.
ACCIDENT TO MR. D. S. JONES.
The accident w hich occurred to Mr. !
D. S. Jones yesterday a few minutes
after the parade had started is deeply
regretted. A number of people called
at the residen.if Dr. A. C. Jones last
night to inquire after the condition
his bother. Among the callers we
visiting firemen and bandmen. who had j
been apprised of the accident. Mr.
Jones has taken a great interest in
the convention, devoting much or his
time to details and contributing liber?
ally lo make it a success. It was un?
fortunate that he could not witness the]
happy culmination of the parade. Mr.
Jones is painfully bruised about the
body, but has no broken bones, and it [
is thought lie will recover in a few
days. Every member of the Citize
Executive Committee called to SCO 2
Jones last night.
AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
The concert given at Johnson's Opera j
House last night by the Stonewall Bri- '
gadc Band was listened to by an appre?
ciative audience. Every number on
the program provoked an outburst or I
applause, and the audience went into |
ecstacy over the rendition of a descrip?
tive piece entitled the "Nigger in the
Barnyard." which illustrated life in a
Southern country barnyard, where I
ringing of cow bells, the crowing of |
roosters, stamping of horses, songs i
negroes, etc., were heard. Mr. W. I
Sehmid's clarinet solo was so well r<
ceived that he was compelled to rise
several times and acknowledge the |
compliment paid him. The concert
closed ui.h a selection entitled "South-!
ern Melodies" that winds up .vith
"Dixie." The hand will leave for |
Staunton this afternoon.
LOUD IN THEIR PRAISES.
The visitors were loud in their praise
of the citizens' Executive Committee!
Tor the courtesies extended to them, and
Cnterer Loshe also came in for a lib
oral amount or praise. One enthusias?
tic Phoebus llreman remarked between
his vigorous monihfuls: "1 have been
lo lots of conventions, hut this beats
any lay out I have struck yet.
Tin- hoys along the route of the
parade wer.- captivated by the bewi
firing manner in which T. J. Smith,
drum major or ihe Phoebus banjx
twirled his baton. If any NewpoSt
News mothers lose broomsticks in th\
near futuri>and lind them in the band!*
of ambitious sons who aspire to be*

shoulders to lav the blame upon.

in the Police Court yesterday in the

The first case called was that of Susie
Dogger, who was charged with disor?
derly conduct. The justice thought the
charge was proved, and he fixed her
line at ill and costs.
Philip Wood forgot that peace had
been declared and that the war was
over and fortified himself against ail
coiners. His honor did not think the
prisoner was justified in carrying his
gun concealed and consequently- fixed
his tine at $20 and costs.
Grace Ann Taylor, a frequent and
well known visitor at the shrine of Jus?
tice Brown, was before his honor
charged with disorderly conduct. She
was found guilty of the charge and her
lined fixed at $6 and costs.
It. F. Haley, proprietor of the Elk
ton Hotel, was before the court on two
charges. The first taken up was that of
doing business without a license. It
seems that Mr. Haley had failed to take
out license to sell tobacco and cigars.
He was fined $6 and costs.
The other charge against this gentle?
man was that of running pool tables
without a license. He was found guilty
of this charge also and the line fixed at
$11 and costs.

Several sorts of another story, in fact
He could not merely shoot deer running
but lasso them in fair chaso over the prairie,
give them a fall, and. If it pleased him so
to do, fetch them in alive and unbanned
Ho could likewise lasso a liurse from the j
wild herds, mount him without, anybody's
help nnd stay upon his back, no mutter
what was done, until the terrified beast
had run himself tame. By way of variety,
sometimes the lasso was cast over a big
bull alligator middling from swamp to

holding tail and jaws in leash, young
Bowio mounted tho scaly hack anil rodi

Boater Bnllfiglits In Seville.
Mr. Stephen Bonsai writes in The Cen?
tury of "Holy Week In Seville." Mr.
Bonsai says:
Wo aro returning from tho social func?
tion of the week, for, alas, even gay and
luzy Seville has its social functions which
must be borne with. It is the tablado, or
inspection of the black bulls which, with
great pomp and ceremony and ut tho cost
of a king's ransom, aro to be killed to?
morrow by tho most celebrated niatndoros
in tho kingdom. While theru is u great
lack of money in Seville to buy bread
there is always enough money forthcom?
ing, even from the pauper's treasury, to
pay the way Into the bull ring, and every
one in Sevillo who is a good Christian will
attend the Easter bullfight, even if, us
not seldom happens, he has to pawn his
household gods and sacred images to do so.

Sir William Harcourt enlivened the do
hate on tho finance bill ono night, by quot?
ing tho saying of Sydney Smith that the
greatest fools in tho world aro the threo
per conts, and why they rise and why they
fall, for reasons which no sensible man
can understand is one of the marvels of
modern civilization.
Pitt's great opponent, Fox, is credited
with a similar remark. He never quite
understood, he said on one occasion, what
the funds were. All he knew about them
was that they were something which went
up und down in tho city, and lie was al?
ways glad when they went down, because
it annoyed Mr. Pitt so much.?Westmin?
