THE CAPITOL
Sovcrnor Going to the University
Next Week.
30ARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Wi\\ Meet To-Morrow to Assess Rail?
road Property?Mr. C. Lee Moore
for Secretary to Corporation
Commission?Brief" Notes.
: Governor Montague was engagcd dur
,ing most of yesterday with routine offl
'clal matters. He did not have a great
many callers. and was permltted to pro
ceed uninterrupted. Attorney-General
Anderson called on Hls Excellency and
" the two conferred for some time as to
some officlal matters. Governor Monta
.gue will leave fcr the University next
week to attend the flnal exercises of the
'session. He will go from there to the
Virginia Milltary Institute at Lexlngton.
?and will probably take some part in both
programmes. There .was little of interest
Koing on at the Capitol during the day.
. The friends of Mr. C. Lee Moore, of
Alexandrla, first clerk ln the office,of
Auditor Marye, are talking of him as a
'man well fitted for the dutles of clerk
-to' the new Corporation Commission, and
?Hlnly will at the proper time bring strong
*prcssure upon him to enter the race. It
ls pointed out that'Mr. Moore is perhaps
better equipped than any man in the
State for the place, by reason of his long
connection with the Auditofs office, and
for the further reaaon that for many
vears he has been the very efficient secre?
tary of the Board of Public Works.
Secretary Sam W. KIgger. of the Capi?
tol commission. said yesterday that that
bodv was awalting the completion of the
' plans for rehabilitating the Capitol, be?
fore holding another meeting. The plans
are being: made by Messrs. Frye and
Chesterman.' of Lynchburg-. and Noland
and Baskerville. of this city. They will
probably be ready by the middle of July.
The same thing is true of the Peni
tentiarv Commission. The latter body will
meet on June 26th, when it is thought
the places will be ready and -work begun.
Governor Montague yesterday appointed
Mr. J. G. Hankins acting- Secretary of
the Commonwealth during the absence of
Secretary Eggleston. who is detained at
hls home in Charlotte by the illness of
one of his children. A-letter from Mr.
. Eggleston received yesterday says that the
conditlon of the little one is not im
? proved.
The State Board of Public Works will
meet in the office of Governor Montague
on to-morrow at 10 o'clock to begin the
?work of assessing railroad and steamboat
property for the ensulng year. The
Board is composed of the Governor. At
tornev General. First and Second Auditor
and Treasurer. Mr. C. Lee Moore. first
clerk in the Audltor's office, ls secretary
of the Boardl
Attorney-General W. A. Anderson will
leave on to-morrow for Wytheville to
look after the State's interests in some
cases before the oupreme Court, now in
session there.
He will probably be away a week.
Mr. J. P- Goss. one of the most popu
*lar and faithful of Auditor Marye's
clerks. is confined to his home by sick
ness. Mr. Goss is not seriously ill and
will probably be out in a few days.
BANKS NOT COMBINING
Richmond Institutions Not Yet Going
Into Northern Movement
The national banks of Richmond are a
ur.it in not favoring the national bank
combine, as projected, and news of which
was published yesterday morning from
Chicago. What is more, it looks as if
it will be next to Imposslble to force the
reluctant local banks into any combine.
Mr. John P. Branch. president of the
Merchants Natlonal Bank, said yester?
day: "Speaklng for our bank. I will say
that the' stock could not be purchased.
Tt is held where they could not get hold
of it. I don't think there is anything in
the plan. Have not received any letter
or communicatlon concernlng it."
Mr. Tucker K. Sands, cashier of the
Nation Bank of Virginia, states that
he does not believe the combination
scheme would receive much support in
tha South and pra'ctically none ln Rich?
mond. He did not think Richmond bank?
ers would f ancy heing subordinates of the
combination in New York.
But the movement is now In its infancy.
and not one of the banks" has received the
cir<-ular describing the plan of combina
tior, and evidently it is impossible to tell
?what will be the outcome'of the move?
ment. >" - ? \
Tiie national banks here and their cap
itals are: First National. 5600,000; Planters,
5300.000; American, $300,000; Merchants.
$20-1,000, and National Bank of Virginia,

The stocks of these banks are paying

It ls suggested in police circles that the
City Council might do well to pass an
ordinance requiring the curtains to doors

They are known there as "Professor "Win
ston" and and "Professor Reed."
These two men swlndled scores. of peo?

money and jewelry. None of them would
swear out warrants against the men at
that time, and unless they do now, the
aileged fortune-tellers cannot be brought
back here.
A saloon-keeper in Fulton was foiled by
the police last Sunday in his attempt to
keep open. He had arranged to have an
electric wire connect with the bar and
a button on the corner, the latter to be
operated by a "watchman," but the police
got on to the game. and were directed
from headquarters to push the button
every half hour. No liquor was sold at
that place on Sunday.
The police of the Second District have
a lot of type and metal such as is used ln

COST OF FPOD.
Grape-Nuts vs. White Bread, &c.
A family figured carefully on the cost
of food, taklng into considefation the
strength and toealth that Grape-Nu<ts
furnished. The report is interesting:
"We first took up Grape-Nuts because
it agreed with me so well. I was suffer?
ing from dyspepsia that medicine did not
relieve. I frequently laughed at the
i'dea when some of my frlends told of
the use of Grape-Nuts; however, one day
wife boughtt a package and we found It
good and it agreed with me.
We were accustomed to using white
bread and oats. wheat or barley mushes
boiled from two to foiir hours. We con
sidered Grape-Nuts too expensive, but I
noticed that when I had a breakfast of
Grape-Nuts I felt fine, an5 other days
when white bread and other cereals were
used I felt weak and bloated.
One day about six months ago I said to
wife. 'I am satlsfled that Grape-Nuts is
the thing that makes me feel better ia
between the blue spells.' Then we sat
down and figured a while on the cost of
living and came^ to the conclusion that
we could live better and happler on
flfteen cents worth of Grape-Nuts than
on twentj>five cents worth of white
bread or 'cooked at home' cereals. You
sec four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts fur
nish more strength to work on than
large quantities- of other food. so we
started on Grape-Nuts in earnest using
it every morning. and a wonderful change
has come over me.
I am gaining in weight every day.
Never have any of the old bloated feej
ings. Feel strong and-well and can en
dure more hard'work "than I could, on.

THE FEAST OF WEEKS.
Jewish Pentecost Begins To-Day?Cbn
firmation at Beth Ahaba.
The Feast of Weeks. or "Shebouth,"
the Jewish Pentecost, begins to-day. Ser?
vices were held last evening in the syna
gogues and others will occur to-day.
The Feast of the Weeks commemo
ratesthe glvlng of the Law at Sinai ahd
is a joyous hollday. The services this
morning will be marked by the
beautiful ceremony of- eohflrmatlon.
The confirmatlon in the synagogue is
a peculiarly impressive and touching
ceremony, and is solemnlzed on this day
because it is in keeplng with the spirit
of the day. There is an old tradition
that when Israel first stood at the foot
of Sinal thousands of years ago, God
asked for a ipledge from them for the
keeping of the divine Law which He was
about to give them. After other things
had been offered and refused they offer?
ed their children as a pledge for the
keeping of the Law, and this was-ac
ceptable to God. The meaning of the
tradition is that the surest guarantee 'of
the strength of permanacy of any faith
is that the children shall be taught Us
beauty and truth. So the confirmation
is held on this day. and the children
to-day accept as did their fathers the
law cf the Decalogue the foundation of
all morals.
At Beth Ahaba there is a class of fif
teen whose names are: Misses Belle
Abrams. Belle Block Nlna Louise Gans,
Pauline MyCr, Any Bloomberg, Rosa
Kirsh, Adele Stern and Edna Heller; and
Maste'rs Lewis Kaufman. Alvin Hutz
ler, Joseph Galeski, Isaac Strauss, Edwin
Ezekiel Merton Rosenbaum and Clarence
Wallersteln. The class has been under
the lnstruction of Rabbi Calisch for a
year and will give evidence oflts training
by taking charge of the service and by
the" delivery of short essays representa
tive of the doctrines of Judaism.

" Pump House to Eat and
Drink.
The Otey Battery Association, com
posed. of the survivors of that famous
band of Confederate Veterans, held its
annual reunion at the Old Pump'House,
near the city yesterday afternoon. The
attendance was large, and the occasion
was one mingled ?with sad and happy
recollections.
Year by year the ranks of the battery
have thinned in response to the summons
of the grim monster until now there are
only about thirty survivors in this city,
though a great many others are scattered
in other parts of the State and country:
The old comrades in arms gathered in
their accustomed place on the banks of
the James at 2:30 P. M., shortly after
which time a delightful dinner was
served, consisting of all that ls good Ui
eat and drink.
Major D. N. Walker, the prominent in
surance agent, was the last command
-?nt of the battery and is the president
of the association. He was present ysater
day, atid enjoyd mingling with his men.
Many rare war-time experlences were
related, and the afternoon was passed
in a most enjoyable manner. The roll
of the members of the battery was read,
and a silent toast was drunk to those
who year by year have "passed over the
river," and are now "resting under the
shade of the trees."
Captain W. H. Stratton, Captain G.
Watt Taylor, Messrs. C. C. Baughman,.
M. West, and R. T. Briggs were among
the well known survivors of the battery
and members of the association who were
present at the. reunion yesterday.

MR, BR00KE MARRIED"
He Disappoints His Fair Admirers Here
by a Confession.
A string of rather sensational events
in the past two or three days has de
veloped the fact that Mr. Brooke, better
known in private life as Hall McAllister,
is a married man and not the dashing
bachelor actor that playgoers have taken
him to be.
The denial of his being engaged to
marry Miss Margaret Illington brought
the actor into prominence, comi..g.as it
did after an exclusive story in The Ti.ae..
that he was a nephew of Ward McAllis
ter, the late autrocrat of New York so?
ciety. Now Mr. Brooke admits he is a
husband and father. Mrs. McAlHster is
the daughter of a wealthy Back Bay
family of Boston, and is now at home
in the East. She has with her their
children. a bcvy and girl. When the en

Fourtaen Concerns WHICo-ope
rateT-AILi.s Quiet in
England.
The tobacco warehqusemen of Rich?
mond have at last succeedcd -in seeing
all of those likely to need bright tobacco
next year, and are.much encouraged at
the heorty support given them in their
efr&rt to' get this' quality' of the weed
bn the Richmond market' agaln. All of
the firms have slgnlfled a wllllngness to
buy their tobacco here lf the warehouse
meii put lt up for sale, instead of golng
to other places for lt, asthey have been;
dolng in the past.
All that now remalns to render the;
scheme a success is to get the.:fanners
who raise the bright tobacco interested
and to iriduce them to patrohize Rich
m->nd. warehouses next year. Drummers,'
who will look after this, feature of the
movement, will before long be placed in
all the bright sections of Virginia and
North Carolina.
A full list of the concerns which have
been seen with reference to the matter
and which have announced that they
w'H' have buyers at the bright breaks
is as follows: The American Tobacco
Company, the Imperial Tobacco Com?
pany, T. C. Williams Company, Mr. Al
frcci T. Harris. James N. Boyd and Com
panv,. W. A. Smith and Company, R. A.
Patterson and Company, F, M. Boykin
nnd Company, Thornton and Company,
Mr. John M. Taylor, Carrlngton and Com?
pany, the Hagan-Dart Company, E. K.
Vietor and Company and the Halpin-New
combe Tobacco Company. In addition to
these it is expected that the TJniversal:
Tobacco Company will have a buyer; qn
the market."
Letters received. here within the past
few days from England indlcate that-the
market there is extremely quiet just at
this time. Moreover, the commission men
do not seem to think that the conditions
will change for the better before the fall.
Tht.y think, however, that by that. time
American exports can begin to get In
the game again. The formation of the
Imperial Tobacco Company has cut off a
large portion of the trade, but considera
ble of it still remains in the shape of
the independent factories. These will
need more tobacco from this side than
was at first supposed ,and will. in fact.
be sufficient in themselves to keep the
larger number of the exporters here in
the business.
The sales on the Exchange yesterday
were the smallest which have been held
y.?t this season. W. B. Palmef and Com?
pany was the only firm which. made an
offeiing." ' Only about fifteen packages
were sold.
Mr. _. ' T.' Pattbn, of Darlingtoh. S.
C. was among the visitors in the city
yesterday.
Mr. Gcldstein. of the Domlnion Tobacco
Works, of Montreal, Canada. who has
been in the-city for "the past few days1
buying tobacco, has left.

Justice John. had several cases of im
portance before him yesterday morning.
Ernest Christian,- the ntneteen-year-old
slayer of Alexander Tinsley, -walved ex
amination, and was "sent on to the grand
Jury. He confessed to the? shooting, but
said it was done in, self-defense. -He
said he never saw the man before Sat?
urday night, and then he started a row
by stepping on hls fee$ several tlmes.
"Hewas a blgger man than me," said
Christian, "and. somebody told me to
watch out, he. would cut me. He put his
hand behind him, and said he was a bad
nigger. and . he come toward me. I
thought lie was going to cut me. and I
puiieG my gun and shot down In the
ground. He kept on coming, and I. shot
again. That time I must have hlt him.
but I didn't know it untll" afterwards.
I went on away then, and so did he.- 1
wouiun't have shot him if I hadn't been
afraid he would have killed me."

matter. He worked at the Wheel Works

Officers Schliefand Wyatt saw the
place ? open . and told him to close, but
he didn't heed the warning and then.
he was reported.

shall be closed from 12 o'clock Saturday
night to 12 o'clock Sunday night. but
the State law makes it from 12 o'clock
