BEMUMOIET
Important Session Will Be Held
Here Next Week.
SCHEME IS IMPRACTICABLE
So the Methodist Ministers Think About
the Proposed Paper?Sermon
by Rev. C. A. Marks.
Other Notes
A telegram received here from the Rev.
Thomas B. Thomas, of Darivllle, presi?
dent of tho Educational Commission, ap?
pointed by the last Baptist General As
sociotion of Virginia, announces that a
meating of the commission has becn
called for next week, and will be held
at Richmond College, in this city'
This meeting of the commission, which
has in hand tho matter of working up a
plan for the co-ordinatlon of all the
Baptist schools in the State, is looked
forward to with the very greatest inter?
est. Members of the body have recently
been dolng a good dea.1 of thlnking in
connection with this problem before
them. and while lt is hardly reasonable
yet to expect a full, detailed plan. it is
yet thought that the schools will assume
eome defmite shape,at the meeting. lt
is more than likely that some step will
be taken toward settlng on foot a move
n.ent which will result ultimately In con?
necting tho different Baptist aoademies
in the State with Richmond College.
At their meeting at Centenary yester?
day rnorning the Methodist ministers of
the city discussed the paper read before
the boSy two weeks ago on "Sunday
Observanco" by the Rev. R. M. Maxey,
and from all that could bo learned dis
approved of two or uiree ot tho more
radical suggestions mado by tho pastor
of Asbury. No llnal action was taken.
The matter was not reached by the
Conference until a late hour. and the dls.
cussion was precipitated by Mr. Maxey
himself. He asked that the body give its
cons'.deration to tho question of Sunday
observance. Dr. John Haunon. of Lnion
Station. made a talk, in which he ex
M-csscd his opinion that Mr Maxey s
euggestior.s were a little far-fetched He
?lid not think tho plan for a free church
i.ewspapc-r or for amusement houses. to
be conducted under religious influences,
was fcasible. The matter of secunng a
bettcr observanco of the Lord's Day was
recognized by Dr. Hannon to be an im?
portant one, and one with which it.was
hard to grapple, but he did not think
that Mr. Maxey had pointed out^a.way
out of the dilliculty. He declared that the
naner read before the Conference two
i weeks ago was an able one and yaluable
in several of its suggestions, but so far
as concerned the paper and one or two
other features. did not agree with his
idea of the matter.
One or two others engaged in the dis?
cussion and it appears that the body
agreed on tho whole with Dr. Hjinnon,
Mr. Maxey himself joined in the discus?
sion.
The Rev. George H. Spooner. preached
Sunday at Trinity Methodist Church
on "Side Issues." discussing the ques?
tion of tho preachers scope and the ex?
tent of his field. While he stated at the
outset that he was not answering any
naper or anv person. but discussing a
aucstion that tlie press had given ^pub
licity to Mr. Spooner"s sermon follows
up the paper presented by Mr. Maxey
and was especially interested in view. of
that fact
The Rev. C. A. Marks preached Sunday
night at the First English Lunthoron
Church. taking for his subject the dls
aster at Martinique.
He took this lncident as an example
Of tho power of God to visit dc.nructioii
upon a sinful world and declared that
the dlsastcr pointed to the truth of the
jprcphecy as to the destruction of the
world by fire.
People hoot at the idea that there is
n lake of fire and brimstone for the pun
Jshment of the wicked, said Mr. Marks.
"well, go and look at those people in St.
Pierre. See their hands stlcking out from
under the stones and the lava, as if
, ithcy were trylng to shield their faces
from the sufrocating atmosphere. If
God could flll tho air with these sulphur
ous fumes. raln. fire and pour out streams
of boiling mnd. if he can stlr up the
waters as they were stired up nround
the island of Martinique. how easily can
he prepare a lake of fire and brimstone
jfor the destruction of sinners.
More scholars were present Sunday
rnorning at the Sunday-school of the

Collection of Pictures of His Pre
decessors?That of Mr. Mon
cure Preserjted Yesterday.
Trustee Friend, of Varina School Dis?
trict, Henrico county, is winning re
nown for himself as a poet. His latest
productions are poems which relate to
two of the teachers of the district. The
trustee is in the habit of writing a poem
in which he speaks in delightful lan?
guage of the fair teacher, and then on
his visits to the school where the lady
presldes 'whdm he has invoked the muse
to eulogize, he reads the poem to the
school children. He thus so inspires the
pupils with admlration for their teacher
that th?y are willingi almost to study
their heads off to please her. The
young lE&les also cannot help" appreciat
lng the kind words of their friend, and
are eneouraged to do the best work in
their power. Recently Mr. Friend read
a peom relating to One of the teachers
of his district to a gentleman of this
city, and this gentleman speaks in high
praise of the effort ior its literary merit
as well of the excellent compllment it
pays to the fortunate teacher who is
so much appreciated.

POLICE COURT.
Justice John Had an Interesting Dockta
Yesterday.
Nobody but Justice John would have
been equal to making the docket before
him in the Police Court this rnorning in?
teresting. He was equal to it, and the
members of the Constitutional Conven?
tion from tho Southwest who were pres?
ent enjoyed to the limit his comments
on the nigger and his rights.
The first case to come up was that of
Lizzie Jackson, who went on a rampage
at the Mayo tobacco factory and chewed
up the book-keeper, Mr. L. R- Lamkin.
She was assessed the sum of $10 for her
meal, which was considered a good price,
even if the beef trust is in charge.
Allie Nash had a row with the Johnson
family that cost him ten dollars, and he
also had to give three hundred dolla.s
security to insure his good hebavior.
Soma one was alleged to have remarked
that a little kcrosense oil would finish
the whole business?which same sentiment.
was not exjilained and is given for what
it is worth.
Billy Redford (white) had three dnnks,v
which according to his accounts was
hardly enough to make him fcel good,
had a fight with Willie Hughes (co'i
ored). Mr. Hawklns came up after the
negro was arrested and struck him.
Hawkins paid five dollars for his part
of the fun and the other two were as?
sessed the sum of $2.50 each.
David Stuart had Dallas Tinsley ar?
rested, charged with an attempt to cut,
maim and destroy him. He was sorry
he did so. There was a woman in the
case, whose testimony went against Da?
vid, and he paid ten dollars.
Ice Mission.

not get for themselves the comforts of
ice in hot weather. Station A's box
slarts off well, having sent in $5 last

at various places; in the meantimc, any
sum of money. large or small, can be
sent or given to Mrs. George W. Bagby,
No. 5 South Third Street, to whom con
stant applications for ice are made.
THREE DAYS.
Then Postum Saved Him.
It makes rather solid friends of peo?
ple when they discover a liquid food that
will save life in extreme cases of need.
Speaking of Postum Food Coffee. a
lady in Toledo, O., says: "For over five
vca'rs now I have used Postum Coffee en?
tirely in place of the ordinary coffee or
tea.
"I used to have stomach trouble and
every time I drank a cup of ordinary
coffee suffered the greatest distress. My
troubles left when I left off coffee and
began usjng Postum. ?
"The most severe tcst I know of was
when my husband was down with gas
tric typhoid fever. His stomach would
retain nothing; we tried milk and vari?
ous other drinks. Everything we put
into his stomach would come up in less
than three minutes. After the third day
of this kind of work I concluded to give
him some Postum Coffee. He drank it
and rellshed it and retalned it, and for
four weeks he Hved on Postum and noth
*n~ clse to speak of. You can depend
upon it that Postum gained some good
friends, for husband would have died if
it had not been for the nourishment af-,
forded by Postum Coffee." - Name given

erans by tlie ladies prominent in the
affairs of the Daughters of the Confed?
eracy.
The idea of the Southern cross of honor
to be given by the Union Daughters of
the Confederacy to the soldiers and sail
ors ln the Confederate service originated
with Mrs. Mary Ann Cobb Erwin, of
Athens, Ga. The designs used wore
adopted at tho Richmond reunion in No?
vember, 1S99. They are of bronze, made
from captured Confederate cannon, gen
erously donated to the order by the
United States Government for this pur?
pose. They are maltese ln design, and
suspended from bar by chain. The front
presents in the center the battle fiag, sur
rounded by a wreath, and on the ends
of the cross "United Daughters (Confed?
eracy to the U. C. V." The reverse side
bears the words, "Southern cross of hon?
or," with the inscription, "Deo Vindice,
1S61-1SG5," in the center.

_
Arch for President Davis Unsuitable.
Editor The Times:
As a dharter member of the first or?
ganized Chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy formed in Washington city
at the National Hotel,, before any other,
I think; it was early in '00. I -am in?
terested in the rightful settlement of
what appears now to be a very vexed
and disported question among our "United
Daughters" from New York via Louis
iana on to California.
Mrs. Davis, it appears to me, shouid
have and is justly entitled to a voice in
the subject of choosing the form of tho
memorial to her husband and also shouid
be consulted as to where this monument
shouid be placed. I cannot but agree
with her and other daughters from dis
tant points in Confederate domain that
an arch will represent little to commemo
rate to remind future generations of the
real purpose of this design.
Mr. Davis was not the hero that such
arch would describe. Mr. Davis was a hero
of defeat. his heroism oonsisted in bear
ing continually reviling, reviling not
again; few of his persecutors at that time
could 'understand and appreciate such he?
roism. The proper form of this monu?
ment shouid be his own unique person
altty represented by a life-size figure on
a pedestal upon which might be carved
characters and mottoes recording the
great struggle through which the South
passed. Later on might be placed some
of his chosen chiefs around him?making
is a ir.auscleurr. of information, where our
children ar.d grandchildren might learn
at least the texts to our struggle. when
those who participated in it have passed
away Let it be an object lesson to the
voung where the y may learn that sacrl
Jice and sufferirig giveth wisdom and
strength. A _ GREEN.

TOO GREAT A RISK.
In almost every nelghborhood some one
has died from an attack of colic or chol
era morbus, often before medicine could
b^ procured or a physician summoned.
a" reliable remedy for these dlseases
should be kept at hand. The risk is too
great for any one to take. Chamberlain's
C'.lic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has
ur.doubtedly saved the lives of more pe.b
p]V and relieved more pain and suffering
thar any other medicine in, use. It can
always be depended upon. For sale by
ali druggists.
