Eloquent Addresses by Walt Known Men Grand Choral Singing- by Hundrods of Tubllo School Children?A Largo At tendance?The Occasion n Success in Every Detail. One of the most Interesting events ] that has ever occurred in Norfolk in connection with the public schools took place yesterday afternoon at the High School grounds, this being the presentation, by the members of the Jr. O. U. A. M., of three beautiful flags and thirty-two Bibles to the public schools of Norfolk, the three flags be? ing for the three new school buildings. The ceremonies were preceded by the marching of the Juniors, preceded by the Seaboard Air Bine baud, over u route previously published. The exercises at the High School be? gan about 3 o'clock. On a large ter? raced frame-work sat about two hun? dred public school children, who did fine chorus singing under the skillful direction of* Prqf. Womofsley, who has been training them for some time. On the speaker's platform were the following: Mr. John W. Cherry, mas? ter of ceremonies; Superintendent of Public Schools R. A. Doble, Dr. H. 12. Johnson, pastor of Cumberland Street M. E. Church; Rev. Dr. J. J. Taylor, pastor of Freemason Street Baptist Church: Hon. John B. Whltehead, Hon. Chas. T. Bland. Major Richard Taylor, Messrs. Fred Greenwood, H. B. Hagnau. Geo. Stormlnger, W. T. Hoy, C. E. Mnrrlsett. C. 10. Bennett, Abe Moses, Prof. Womersley. H. R. Mor? rison ("The Boy Traveler"), Miss May Womersley (personifying Miss Colum? bia), nnd the press. Mr. John W. Cherry presided In his usual graceful manner as master of ceremonies. THE PROGRAM. The program opened with a patri? otic air by" the Seaboard Air Bine hand, and this was followed by an el? oquent prayer by Rev. H. 10. Johnson. Next, the school children's chorus sang, "Speed Our Republic." MR. JOHN W. CHERRY. The first speaker was Mr. John W. Cherry, one of Virginia's best-known fraternity men, who spoke on "The Objects of the Order." He brleflly sketched Its rise from the original United Order of American Mechanics and Its growth far beyond Its parent organization. He stated that the or? der now has a strength of 250.000 mem? bers In the country?over 12.000 in the State of Virginia, and between 700 and S00 In the city of Norfolk.

In closing ho paid a graceful tribute to Superintendent Doble for his unvary? ing courtesy to the order In Norfolk. Next, the children sang. '?Columbia, the Gem o'f the Ocean," and then fol? lowed the presentation of Bibles by Rev. Dr. Taylor. Ho said that It seemed peculiarly appropriate that the Junior Order of United American Mechanics should come with its gift of Hlbles to the public schools of Norfolk. He went hack to Hible history and the co-or? dinate relations of the Bible and hu mnn liberty. "The great lie of the apes is the divine right of Kings." "The great trutli Is that all men are created free nnd equal." "England never attained to greatness until she opened and read this book (the Bible)." "When men opened and read the Hible there came into their minds the truth that men were entitled to liberty." Theu the eloquent speaker traced the bearing of the Bible and freedom of conscience in its relation to tho rise nnd progress of freedom In America. Then followed music by the band and the unfurling by little Miss May Worn ersley of the beautiful Hag f\t hung furled at the top of the Hag-staff af? fixed to the platform. SUPT. DOBIE ACCEPTS. Tho flags and Bibles were then form? ally received by Superintendent Doble, of the Norfolk Public Schools. He said, in part: "These flairs will Moat above our schools und while the children arc studying their lessons they will be taugjit the love of country and of home, and from the Bibles the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." The children then sang "The Star Spangled Banner," while the band played-the nlr. HON. CH.\RLES T. BLAND. Tho last speaker, and the orator of the day. was the Hon. Charles T. Bland, of Portsmouth, whose address on "Our Klag" was n model of beauty and pow? er, voicing patriotism, valor, honor and truth. After a humorous opening. In which he said he never refused any? thing offered him or lost an opportunity to make n speech, he paid a glowing tribute to tue Junior Order of United American Mechanics, of which he said he was proud to be a member. Although he has been working vali? antly on the stump for Hie past two weeks, speaking night nnd day. his masterly address was heard and enjoy? ed by everyone present. After an eloquent tribute to the na? tional emblem Hint we honor nnd re? vere, the while representing purity, the red typical of the blood of the nation's heroes, shed on hundreds of battlefields to maintain the honor of that Hag, the blue symbolical of the blue of Heaven's cteat dome, and the stars that repre? sent the States of our Union, he closed With that eloquent and Immortal pero? ration of Daniel Webster In his reply to Hnyne? "When my eyes shall be turned to be? hold, for the last time, the sun in Heaven, may 1 not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union: on States dissev? ered, discordant, belligerent: on a land rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it may lie. In fraternal blood. Let their last feeble and lingering glance rather hehnld the gorgeous ensign of the re? public, now known and honored throughout the earth, still full high advanced. Its arms and trophies streaming In their original lustre, not a stripe erased or polluted, nor a single star obscured, benring for Its motto no such miserable Interrogatory as, "What is all this worth?' nor those other words of delusion and folly, 'Lib? erty first, and union afterwards," but everywhere, spread all over the land, In characters of living light, bla/.iug on all its ample folds, ns t'iey float over the sea and. land In every wind under the whole Heavens, that other senti? ment, dear to every true American heart?'Liberty nnd Union, now, for? ever, one and inseparable.' " Then the children sang "The Flag! The Klag!" and the audience, children, and band united in one grand chorus of "America." Muster of Ceremonie? Cherry then ex? tended the thanks of the committee and the order In Norfolk to the gentlemen who had given their services, to the children of the chorus, and to all others who. by their efforts, their presence or otherwise had contributed to make the presentation an even( that will be memorable In the annals of the public schools of Hie city of Norfolk, and ben? ediction wns pronounced by Rev. Dr. Taylor. COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS. Much credit Is due to the nble com? mittee of arrangements, whose mem? bers were untiring to make tho event a success and to the members of the order of Jr. O. 11. A. M. for their pa? triotic action.

The Councils Should Establish Minimum and Maximum Rates. Business Men Say Then "We Would Know Whore We arent"-Trent all Companion Aliko- Equiil Privilege* and Kqual H?r? den?. To-day the Virglnlan-Pllot gives fur? ther Interviews on the telephone rate matter and the generul sentiment of busfhess men Is that the Councils should at once fix minimum and maxi? mum rates for nil telephone companies doing business here. WHITE & CO. Mr. M. J. W. White, of White & Co., rental agents, said that the City Coun? cils have no right to discriminate be? tween telephone companies. That is, they should not have held one company to a maximum rate of charges and al? lowed another to charge what it pleases. Mr. White said that he as? sisted in bringing the Southern States Telephone Company here when the Bell was charging a high rate for a poor service. He assisted In obtninlng contracts for nine years at $30 a year. He is under the Impression that 150 of these contracts are still In force here. He thinks the Councils should place both companies on equal terms with a maximum and minimum rate. * _. _ ? NEW CONUNDRUM?WHEN IS A CONTRACT NOT A CONTRACT? ANSWER?WHEN IT'S A BELL, TELEPHONE FRANCHISE. MR. F. DcCORDY MATTHEWS. Mr. F. DeCordy Matthews, of the De Cordy Coal Company, said he Is op? posed to monopolies. The City Coun? cils should protect the citizens from a telephone monopoly here. The DeCordy Company will quit using the Bell tele? phone nt the expiration of its contract. There should be a restriction of the charges on all the telephone companies, and. as agents of the people, the City Councils should make the best arrange? ment that can be made in the Interest of Hie people. He believes in a maxi? mum and minimum rate. WHEN OUR EXPERTS WERE LOOKING FOR WATER AND TALK? ING OF GANG WELLS WHY DIDN'T THEY BORE INTO THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY STOCK BOOKS? *_ . MR. H. C. HOGG ARD. Mr. IL C. Hoggard, real estate and collection agent, says he commends'the Vlrglnlnn-Pilot for its opposition to the monopolies. He Is glad there Is one newspaper which has the boldness to contend for the rights of the people. He wan afraid the City Councils had fro authority to restrict the Hell Tele? phone Company, but after reading the frnnchlse published by the Vlrglnlan Pilot he said the duty of the Councils was clear. They should tlx a maximum and a minimum rate at such rates as to prevent a monopoly. 1 ' ?<:-" MR. TENDER'? GANG WELL WATER SYSTEM IS SAID TO BE A GUSHING SUCCESS. DID HE HIT THE SUB-FLOW FROM NORFOLK'S LAKE SYSTEM OR RUN INTO A BLOCK OF BELL TELEPHONE STOCK? ?-: -? MR. J. S; CULPEPER. Mr. J. S. Culpeper, City Auditor, said he believes that the telephone com? panies should be treated alike. They should be on equal terms. He believes that a muxlmum and minimum rale for both would put them on equal terms. ? ? t THE LEGAL DECISION RELA? TIVE TO TELEPHONE FRAN? CHISES, ON FIRST PAGE, HAS LO? CAL APPLICATION. THE HEURICH BEER. HAS NOT BEEN DECLARED "UN? FAIR" BY THE C. L. U. OF NORFOLK. Some time ago It was stated that the Heurlch beer bnd been placed on the "unfair" list by the Brewery Workers' Union. As the statement has caused many people to form erroneous conclusions It will be of Interest to note that nt a regular meeting of the G. L. U. held Monday night, the. special committee of the Union that was appointed to In? vestigate the charges made against Capt. Geo. O'N. Palmer, resident agent of the Chris. Ileurlch Brewery, by the Brewery Workers of this city, after mature deliberation reported fa? vorably toward Capt. Palmer, and Its report was unanimously endorsed by the C. L. U. A BUSINESS AGENT. .The question of the election of a bus? iness agent, heretofore noted In the Virgtninn-Pllot, was taken up at this meeting. Mr. W. A. Davis, of the Paper-Hangers' Union, and Mr. Em? men L. Adams, of Machinists' Union No. 11, were plnced in nomination. The election will occur on next meet? ing night. Two House Thloves Caught Vacant house thieves are the most difficult of all thieves to catch and con? vict, but Detective Snowden and Officer Sweeney caught two of them to-day. One. a constant offender, is Thomas Wilson, a negro boy. who is charged with stealing and housebreaklng; the other, also a persistent offender and young and colored, is James Taylor. Both of them will appear In court to-day, and ns the officers have proof against them, they will likely be pun? ished.

Decidedly one of the very best ama? teur performances ever given In Nor? folk was witnessed last night at the Academy of Music, the occnslon being the presentation of Wllllttrd Spencer's popular comic opera, "Princess Ron? nie." by'local talent, for. the benefit of the new Hebrew Synagogue. A do scrlptlon of the opera Is unnecessary, as It is familiar to most theatre-goers. A charming little love story, having Its origin on the coast of Maine and cli? max In the palace of a Spanish grandee, furnishes nil the romance needed. The music Is catchy and tuneful und bright hits of comedy inlerpcrsed complete its attractiveness. Tito company was composed entirely of local talent, including many of tho best singers In Norfolk und Ports? mouth, and the general excellence of the executlpn not only reflected credit Ujpon them, but much praise is due the stage manager, Capt. G. M. Reynolds, nnd the musical director. Prof. Charles Borjes, for the careful and painstaking training which was clearly In evidence; in fact, every one who contributed In the slightest degree to the success of the enterprise Is to bo congratulated. Mrs. J. Griff Edwards, as Bonnie, and Miss Blanche Hardy Hecht, as Kitty Clover, shared the honors of the even? ing as the most Important female characters, each receiving a decided ovation. Miss Grace Kerns as Antic Crabbs, and Mrs. .Inmes Davis as Donna Pomposa were very clever. Among the gentlemen, Mr. Jns. N. Anderson, ns Shrimps, nnd Mr. Will Schmoele. us Salvador, who supplied the comedy, nnd Mr. W. B. Da ugh troy, as Capt. Hen Tarpaulin; Mr. Hugh Steele, as Roy Stirling: Mr. Albert Hodgson, ns Admiral Pomposa, nnd Mr. Jas. E. Dunhur. as Count Falsett i. each contributed their full quota to the .general result. Too much cannot be said of the fine work of the chorus. The ensembles were not only beautiful to look upon, but their rendition of the many music gems of the opera proved Indeed a musical treat, which the large audi? ence did hot fall to appreciate. The costumes were also a feature of the occasion. A very delightful Interpolation and innovation during the performance was the dancing of Miss Blanche Hecht and little Miss Kelly. The "Princess Bonnie*' opera will be repeated at the mntlneu performance on Saturday. WATER lYIETERRATES BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IX AUGURATE A NEW SCHEDULE. Tho Hoard of Water Commissioners have for some months had In contem? plation n readjustment of the depart? ment's meter rates. At n recenl meet? ing they adopted a revised seht flule which retains the original maximum nnd minimum rates, but the seal.- is much more gradual and Is so arranged that there Is no possibility of milking a bill less by using or wasting more water as has been the case heretofore, neither will there be any case In which one consumer will pay more pioncy than another while using less water. It appears upon examination ,that where a sliding scale Is employed and a fixed maximum ami minimum rate ad? hered to. With n certain amount of rev? enue to he obtained, it is not a trivial matter to work out the details neces? sary for the tlesired result. MILITARY OFFICERS ELECTED. COMPANY E HELD AN' ELECTION LAST NIGHT FOR CAPTAIN. Captain V, C. Burrow, of Company A, got a telegram yesterday from Ad? jutant Genernl Nnlle, of the State mil? itia, requesting him to preside tit a meeting of Company E, Seventy-first Regiment Infantry, for the purpose of electing ofllccrs. He called the meet? ing to order at the armory at S 30 last night. Mr. Joseph J. Hennelly was elected secretary of the meeting. At the election held Lieutenant E. W. Jones was unanimously elected as cap? tain without opposition. He succeeds Captain T. J. Nottingham, recently promoted to be major. Second Lieutenant William C. Shel? ley was unanimously elected to be first lieutenant without opposition. Firs tSergeant William It. King was unanimously elected to be second lieu? tenant without opposition. All of these men have seen service and are particularly well qualified for the duties of thelr'respectlvc positions. They nil received the praise of Uui. company. which was particularly hearty for Lieutenant King, because he has been one of the best, soldiers in Hie ranks since 1S?3. Football A very hotly contested game of foot? ball was played in Client yesterday between the Virginias, of Brambteton, and the Atlantic City team. Atlantic City's won the toss ond chose tho Eastern goal. This gave the Virginias the ball. Herbert made a very pretty kick-off.
