Another boneflt to be derived from the ,

In Police Court.
The proce.dln^s yesterday In Police Court, ,
Part, 2. with Justice Maurice on the bench,
were very short Indeed. Court was called
to order, and when It was seen that tho
docket was clear It was adjourned until to- '
doy, when two cases will be heard. First
Joe Cheatliam, colored, will answer to the
charge of being drunk on the premises of
the True Reformers and unable to take
care of himself. The combined efforts of
Officers Newman and Moore were required
to bring hi in to the station-house, scarcely
two blocks distant. The other case that
will' occupy ih;> attention of the court will
be that of Cleveland Farmer, who Is sus?
pected of larceny and of an assault on Mrs.
L A. Lee. He is held on the technical
charge of being a suspicious character.
No Action Taken.
The committee appointed to appraise the

yesterday at 3:10 }'. M.. and adjourned with- 1
? out taking any action. The next meeting of
this committee la scheduled for Wednesda>
at 3:30 P. M.
In Oak Grove Court.
In the Oak Grove Court yesterday only
one criminal case was called before 'Squire
Cheatham. This case was against Rosa
Smith, Ella Jones and Olany Johnson, all
colored, charged with maintaining an ob?
jectionable place and with cursing and using
obscene language on the street. The charge
was not proved to the satisfaction of the
court, and the three were dismissed with a
good warning.
About a doren small civil cases were call- !
ed, but were disposed of in short order, and
the court adlourned until next Friday.
Object to Store.
If no other means are at hand, it Is said
a resort to law will be made In an effort
to keep Mrs. ("ort A. Tingle from building
a store on properly recently acquired by
her on Everett street near Eighteenth. This
action comes from a person, it Is said, who
owns the adjoining property, and thinks
his proprty will be injured In value If his
view Is cut off by the proposed building. Tho
point will be a novel one If raised, and on
Mrs. Tingle's part will be hotly contested.
I Mrs. Tingle, who conducts a store at Elgh
1 tecnth and Hull Streets, only came Into
' possession of the property a few nays ago.
jit fronts thirty-three feet on Everett Street,
land a four-room house Is on the grounds.
I It Is proposed to move this hcsise back and
?add four more rooms and a store to be on
) the street level. An alley will be necessary,
I and it is understood that the opening of
I this will also be conteeted. but It Is said
I an application has already been filed for a
I permit to have It opened.

STIRS BOOSTERS
(Continued From First Pnge.)
Kolng elsewhere to make their pur
chases when they can get whut they
want right here In Richmond. And
when wc go. It us war a smile, for a
smile Is one of the most attractive In?
fluences you can circulate In North Car?
olina.
"The Times-Dispatch has freed Itaeif
of the care of this trip, though it orlg
nated it and planned It, and the trip
Is now under its auspices, but the re?
sponsibility is on us. It Is up to you,
gentlemen, to tell others of our city,
and Richmond will rely on you to ad?
vertise her as she wub never adver?
tised before. And 1 hope this Boost?
ers' tour will terminate In one of the
greatest movements ever undertaken.
Why? Because we do lack a little of
that pulling together which fs so es?
sential and of that far-slghtodniia
which is so necessary for the upbuild?
ing and development of such o commu?
nity osv wc live in. And I believe the
influence of this trip will irradiato
among others. People will be Imbued
with the Idea that It Is safe policy to
bring money to Richmond, and if somo
one brings $5,000,000 to Richmond, you
can say: 'If it comes to Richmond. I've
got my chance to get my share." The
groceryman, the merchant, the busi?
ness man, the machinist, all have a
chance to get a piece of it. The bank?
ers can take care of themselves." The
crowd laughed, but Mr. Dabney hast?
ened to say: "Richmond is second to
non in banking enterprise, for here any
loan can be financed.
Make Much Noise.
"So I say again, let us all pull to?
gether. We are going to North Caro?
lina as nothing ever went before. I
ain't much up on history and I don't
know whether the Yankees ever went
down there and raised a big noise, but
we v. ill go there and raise a big noise
and show the people that we have the
best city on earth. But It will be an
Intelligent noise that we will make, and
we will leave behind something for
the people to remember. We will show
them our individual prosperity, and
what is better than Individual pros?
perity, in which all the community par?
ticipates?"
Mr'. Dabney Informed his hearers of
the great development which had ac?
crued to the city through the big
plants which have made their homes
I here, bringing thousands of workmen
in their train. "There are some," he
said, "who do not see how the erection
of a big man' acturlng plant In their
community can help them or Increase
the value of proptry around them. But
. I can tell you that If I plant tlowers
in my garden?and I ain't much on
gardening, I leave my wife to do that
?their fragrance Is shed through all
the neighborhood. And I cun tell you
that the coming of these b'g busi?
nesses has Increase the purchasing
power in Richmond by actual tlgures
' $1,000 per annum. So let us go out
and tell the truth about our city. You
will Influence each other and me, and
maybe even the tightwad will be In?
fluenced and be mnde to realize the
fact that here is safe Investment for
his money. Let us get returns by get?
ting together as a band of Intelligent
young men who will tell the world of
our cfty."
Every Arrnugement Made.
He told the Boosters of how com?
fortably they will be cared for, travel?

and a baggage coach in which they

the Boosters not to tuke excess bug
gagu In the way of clothes, explaining)
that It waa a boosting trip pure and j

"Wo have the city to talk about," he!
said, "wo have our tickets, we have j

all pull together.
"Put your business cares at home
behind you for a day or so. and make
every one glad to meet you and want
to see you again, so that every man
will contlnoe and continue his pa- j
tronage of our city. It has done more
for me than I can ever do for It, and
It has done the same for you. Rich?
mond deserves all you can do for her.
and you must remember that her J
prosperity Is your prosperity. It Is a
big family affair, and we must do all !
for the family that we can."
All Are Ready.
As he closed, Mr. Dabney asked for '
suggestions, but the Boosters seemed i
satisfied with all the arrangements
which had been made and were ready
then and there for the trip, which Is i
the first of Its kind ever Inaugurated
; in the South.
E. H. Clowes arose to say that he
: would like to see a boosting tour of
j this kind every year and to thank

You have never
heard anyone say?
"The Uneeda Biscuit
in that last package
were not as good as
usual."
You have never said
it yourself.
It is one thing to
make soda crackers
that are occasionally
good.
It is quite another
thing to make them
so that they are not
only always better
than all other soda
crackers, but always
of unvarying good?
ness.
The name "Uneeda"
?stamped on every
one of them?means
that if a million
packages of Uneeda
Biscuit were placed
before you, you
could choose any
one of them, con?
fident that every
soda cracker in that
package would be
as good as the best
Uneeda Biscuit ever
baked.

strolled, and caroled Into the good
graces of an audience at the Academy
last night which would have made the
fond young heurt of Bud Fisher,!
creator of the grotesque characters,'
bump with the Joy of success.
It was simply a case of Mutt and'
Jeff animated. Not even the most'

real live Jeff and Mutt at which you
were looking. Some mathematician
