The following complimentary mention
made by Mr. John Temple Graves In re?
cord to the recent appearance of Mrs.
Bessie Miller Oton at the Georgia Con?
federate Veterans' Home, will bo read
with pleasure by Mrs. Oton's many Rich?
mond friends. Mr. Graves says:
"I could havo. listened to her all night.
That was the sentiment of one of the
veterans at tho Soldiers' -oim Thursday
eliernoon. and tho sentiment was echoed
to the fortunate guests who attended tho
Beautiful recital afforded the veterans by
Mrs Olon. A child ol the Confederacy?
Fhe went among her father's comrade*
tc recall a few reminiscences ol the ear?
ly days when as a little one- she sang,
"Open the gates as high as the sky, and
lot Jeff Davis' men pass by." A tear drop
glistened in her soulful eyes as sho recall?
ed the scenei and sympathetic moisten?
ing was exi ericneed by many ot those
listening to her.
When she recited Father Ryan s 'bword
of RoLert Lee," the old soldiers' Joy
knew no bound and with one accord they
gave the charming reader the old-time
"rebel yoll" and burst into song with
organ accompaniment?"We Are Old
Time Confederates."
It was. indeed a happy hour for the
men who fought for their country.
After tho recital closed it was with
pride that each soldier took the hand of
their guest, and if tho ^entlo hand suf?
fered a severe pre.-sure .. It was
reverence for the noble woman that en?
couraged it. ,
?Mrs. Oton leaves tu a tew days for
recitals elsewhere, and Atlanta may hear
her somo time In November. She has
hcen absent eight years, but her Incom?
parable art has lost none of Its charms,
end the public sho captured ten years

The Prize Mosquito.
There was an old man
Whose name I ne'er know.
Who, tho older he got,
Tho wiser he grow.
He disliked mosquitoes;
And thought it was fun,
To kill all the tribe',
And save only ono.
And thi3 one It grew,
Till It got such a size,
It took all the premiums
And many a prize.
AND BIT QUITE DEEP.
It fattened and thtckened,
And lengthened out, too,
And could send Us thick bill,
Through tho solo of a shoo.
While one day tho man.
In a chair was asleep,
The skeeter came up,
And bit hhn quite deep.

Engaged in a bout,
And when I last lu-ird,
Thoy wero fighting It out.

He used to live out In Arkansas or
somewhere out that way, and one day ho
wont out with a friend to shoot somo
o ticks.
When they got down by the rlvor, they
ttund a crowd of people congregated
thero, and upon investigation thoy
loarnod that the body of a man had Just
been taken from tho river.
A justice of tho peace was In tho crowd,
mid tho body, was searched to get some?
thing by which the man might bo Iclanti
lied., A pistol and $Iikj wero'1 found In His
pockets, but nothing elso.
Tho Justleo he'll! an Inquest and decided
that the man came to his death by drown?
ing. He then lined him $100 for carrying
a concealed weapon, half of that amount
to go to the dciurt.
Accordingly the $100 was taken from
tne dead body and divided, tho Stato
getting half and the Justice the other.
They aro hore and what a great treat
they gave us.

NEW FACES
IN PULPITS
Mctliodist Ministers Take Hold
of the New Year|s
Work.
DR. YOUNG COMES THIS WEEK
Rev. Mr. Spooncr Receives An
Ovation, as Did Several -
of the Others.
Now faces woro cnon Sunday In several
of tho Methodist pulpits of Richmond.
I?nrgu congrogatlons wero present In
nearly every Inslanco to witness th.3 In?
coming of tho recently assigned minis?
ters and to give them a hearty wclcomo.
Two or three of tlu pastors havo not
yet arrived, notably Dr. W. J. Young,
who will preach his first sermon at
Centenary next Sunday. Tho majority of
thorn, however, wore on tho field and
took hold at once. Rov. R. M. Mnxoy
preached at Union Station nnd Rev.
D. B.i Betty at Park Place. Tho Rov.
Goorgo H. Spoonar received nn ovation
nt'.Broad Street, his now charge. Dnrgo
congrogatlons greotcd him at both ser?
vices.
DR. TIANNON AT TRINITY.
Rev. Dr. John llannon. familiarly
known as "Anion" Hannon, entered upon
his pastoral work at Trinity Church on
Sunday, Tho celebrated! minister preach?
ed morning and night to large congrega?
tions that wero very much pleased with
tho Doctor's fine sermon. Ills morning
theme was "Christ All In All," nnd was
handled splendidly. At night he spoke
on "The Works nnd Silences of Josus,
and reinforced his deductions by the "so
of unique nnd original metaphors. This,
too, wns a flno sermon.
Of course, tho Doctor wns given a
cordial welcome by his new flock. Tho
measure of strong attachment that ex?
ists between him and his parishioners
was strikingly Illustrated by qulto a
number of Union Station's members com?
ing down to Trinity at night to henr him
nnd bid him Godspeed In his new told
of labor. Tho Doctor does esculent work
wherever ho goes, and Is not only bril?
liant In the pulpit, but Is a very fine
pastor. _..
DR. JOHNSON'S SETtMON.
Judging from tho appreciative congre
gntlon present and the warm reception
given Dr. Henry E. Johnson at Daurcl
Street Methodist Church by the mem?
bers and friends of tho church yesterdiy,
Bishop Hendrix did not mako mistake
In again appointing this distinguished
minister to this cltargo fof another
year. . ,
In tho morning Dr. Johnson preached
a sermon on "Tho M.ethocnst Itinerancy,
and at night ho spoke from tho words:
"Are the Demands of Religion Unreason?
able?" Both sermons were eloquently
delivered, and the Doctor was given tho'
closest nttcntlon.
The new conference year at Laurel
Street Church begins most auspiciously.
Large congregations are present at each
service and tho members of tho church
are organizing, for future work. There
Is not a more 7.calous membership to
be found In this city than at Laurel
Street Methodist Church.
The work of raising funds for the par?
sonage Is well under way. and It s
thought a largo sum will In all probabil?
ity be paid on the si me during the year.
SETTLING DOWN.
Things are reaching the normal stato
aeiln In Methodist circles, and every?
thing will be moving smoothly again be?
fore verv long. The meeting of the min?
isters yesterday was largely attended.
Manv of those who will leave were ?"???
ent to say their farewsi;-. Owing ?o tho
ones yet to come In. the annual reor?
ganization ? and election of officers was
postponed until next Mondiy morning.
MACHINE AN ADDER.
One Hundred Profit Between
West Branch and Cedar Rapids.
Tho case of Hull vs. The Standard
Adding Machine Company, appealed from
Justice Cloan's Court, was tried yester?
day before Judge Preston, the plaintiff
?again winning. Hull was agent, for the
! machine In Cedar county, whero the price
was $1E0. J- Ij- Hardwlck was agent for
Linn cpunty, where the price was Soo?
the difference supposod to cover the.
freight for thirty miles. Hardwick had
tried to sell the city a machine Hull
sold a machine to the West Branch Sav?
ings Bank, and that Institution Bold It to
Alderman Cushrnan for J1G0. Eventually
It camo Into tho possession of tho city at
that price, and the commission was paid
to Hardwlck. Hull sued to recover tho
commission and has boen successful.
Aside from the law points Involved tho
public will bo Interested In knowing that
in Cedar Rapids, where thore was a
prospect of more business, tho company
was compelled to charge $100 additional
profit, while the ordinary commission
would Justify two law suits. That the
machine should add $100 between Wost
Branch and Cedar Rapids proves It to
have been In good working condition. But
tho city saved the money.?Tho Cedar
Rapids Evening Gazstto.
EDUCATION BOARD

The State Board of Education will hold

cation of colored deaf and blind children,
end the Dinwiddle case, where children
alleged to have negro blood In their veins,
wero excluded from a white school will
cho cpme up. ......
Another case of Interest Is that of cer?
tain Catholic patrons of a school in
Fairfax county, who object to Protestant
ministers opening tho sessions of the
school with prayer. A teacher for the
Indian school, In King Wlllnm county,
i will be chosen and the coming fight for
1 the adoption of text hooks may bo In?
formally discussed.
