On the occasion of the visit of the Prince
of Wales to Richmond, Va., some years
ago, Jim Cook, a famous eoncoctor
of drinks, made the Prince the first
mint Julep his Royal Highness ever
tasted, which so pleased him that he used
the now historic expression, "Give me an
other glass of that stuff with grass aud straw
in it." He also showed bis delight by giv
ing the barkeeper a $20 gold piece, the high
est price Jknown to have been paid for a
julep cup from
which the Prince drank has beeu pre
served with almost religious care in
the hotel, but Tuesday it was taken from
nnder lock and key and sent to tho Marquis
of Lome with the first mint julep in it since
its ring was pressed by the lips of the Prince
of Wales. It is not related by the chronicler
that Lome called for another drink or gave
anybody a $20 gold piece.

up before the residence of ex-Senator Dorsey.

At the thirty-fifth annua) meeting of the

Henry Eckel, treasurer, reported receipts
during the past year from rent of stores,
rooms and basement as f2.480.6O; to cash
from rent of lecture room, $317.00; to cash
from insurance policy dividend, $4.56; total,
$2,758.06; cash in hand at last report,
$522.32; total, $3,280.28. The total expendi
tures for the year were $2,501.72, leaving a
balance on hand of $688.56.
The treasurer also reported as follows :
"One year ago I took occasion to allude to
the manner in which the Indebtedness of the
company could he removed and suggested that
if sanctioned by the Board of Curators 1 had
doubt hut It would not only lead to a
rapid extinguishment of the permanent debt
but would also have tha tendency to produce
a balance of cash at the dose of the year
sufficient to resume semi-annual dividends
steadily if not permanently thereafter. The
hoard promptly accorded to the Treasurer
the privilege of carrying out the suggestion,
and the result is that we have paid off' in full
every dollar of our indebtedness—perma
nent and floating—and have besides a bal
ance of cash in hand more than equal to the
requirements of a dividend and all current
expenses. For .*»4 years the com
pany has been laboring under the
pressure of a slowly reduced perma
nent debt, and during that period jias
)aid large sums in the way of interest, but
ts credit has always been good, and it bas
met all its obligations honorably and
promptly. Its stock has lor 30 years oi
more been above par, and to-day it stands
largely increased in value with none In the
market, although applicants for stock are
numerous. For this creditable and satis
factory condition of the company's financial
affairs, much is due to the practical knowl
edge and economical managemert of those
to whose keeping its Interests have from
time to time been officially entrusted. In
view of the facts herein stated with reference
to our financial condition I would
recommend that the paymentofsemi-annual
dividends be resumed, changing the times
of payment from January and July to
April and October. The change could work
no detriment to the stockholders, while It
would remove a long felt inconvenience to
the treasurer. At the present time over
seven-eighths of the stock is held by lodges,
and It would seem to be desirable that the
sole ow nership should be vested In the order,
under whose energy and direction the com
pany had Its being and bus secured Its ulti
mate prosperity The acquisition of 204
more shares by the lodges would accom
plish that result. The ripple of agitation
which last winter found Its way into the
the several lodges of the city concerning the
purposes for which the lecture room should
be used in the future had the effect
desired by the board, and the interest w hich
has since been taken in it by the lodges Is
fully shown by the increased use of the lec
ture room for the objects for which It was
originally
and concert entertainments have also been
held In the room more frequently during
the past year than in any year for a long
time previously, and from present indica
tions we have eucouraglng reasons for be
lieving that it will continue to be so. In
connection with this report the books,papers
and vouchers belonging to the treasurer's
office have been examined by the Auditing
Committee and certified to as being correct."
