TO THE PUBLIC
A CARD.
Richmond, July 10. 1912.
I appreciate very highly the endorsement of the Citi?
zens' Association, and I am profoundly grateful for their
public expression of their confidence.
I hope, however, that they will take no offense if I take
the liberty of'saying to the public that the action of the
committee in endorsing me was not solicited, requested
or even suggested by me.
If I am elected to membership on the Administrative
Board 1 hope that it will be by the vote of the people of all
parts of the city and of all sorts and conditions of men.
Very respectfully,

Louis Dion, aged eleven. In a boyish
scrawl, on piece of paper to-day. th- ?:
l.'tood up before Henry Talboit, aged

The shooting was the result of a
hoy's pride In his new 22-caltbre rifle,
and a dare from a companion who
?'didn't believe !t could kill anything."
The rifle belonged to the Talbott
boy. who was shooting It from the
window of his home. Young Dion
came along and remarked that
brother had n similar rifle and "It was
ho good."
"Give me permission to shoot you.
and I'll show you whether it Is any

have said. Dion wrote out the permis?
sion on a slip of paper. Immediately
there was a shot from the rifle and
Dion fell dead.

Kar From .Madding Crowd, lie
P?ts Finishing Touches
on Speech.
BACK TO SEAGIRT TO NIGHT
Known That He W ill Discuss
Tariff Issue at
Length.
Seagirt, n. j.. July 28.?Governor
.Wilson was still at sea to-night, aboard
i private yacht, putting tho finishing
touches to his speech of acceptance of
j the presidential nomination. No word
of any kind came from him u? tho sum?
mer capital and there is every reason
to believe he Is many miles out on the'
.ocean. Mo will return to Seagirt to
: morrow night, unless he changes his
pluns. Joseph P. Tumulty, his secre?
tary. In whom alone the Governor has
[confided the name of tho yacht, expects j
to meet the Governor to-morrow at onei
.of the numerous inlets along th" I
coast. I
Ihn location of this inlet is as much
ti secret as the mime of tin- vessel
which bears th" Democratic prenldcn-1
tiai nominee. After Mr. Tumulty has
transacted hi* buarness with the Gov
emor, ho will land. The yacht will
Steam out and heud for another haven j
up tho coast. Tho Governor will land
? '.luring the afternoon and come by
motor to Seagirt.
A week will have elapsed since his
departure to seek seclusion In which
to write his speech. It will be the
vernor's first public comment on the
Democratic platform as an entirety.
It will be delivered, bero August 7, at
tho ceremony of notlllcatlon. It the
day Is flno the Governor probably will
i talk from a little knoll In his yard, be
I ncuth a group of elms.
While the Governor has declined to
l r.caat his speech. It Is known de?
nn.tely here that the tariff wilt he
dealt with as the leading Issue. In
, Close relation t? this the Governor
places the high cost of living. The
latter he it; .'aid to regard as but a
(a vl lopnient of the present tariff sys?
tem. Then are other points, be has
, intimated, with which he will deal.
Friends of the Governor. In the light
p'f his past utterances on this question,
and from the manuscripts he left be
I hind him when he went Into seclusion,
assert that the Governor will declare
Ih ills speech for a tariff revenue and
not for free trade, and will urge il
gradual rather than a sweeping re
! auction In tariff schedules until the
' ti'riff becomes actually an Instrument
for revenue, as he defines the. word, I
J und not for protection.
Thero is no doubt In their minds,
j that the Governor will devote somo
I portion of his speech to the relations
between what he calls "big business''
and the tariff.
They point to speeches made by the
Governor before hi" nomination. In
which he declared that tho growth of
"Idir business" has made the tailiC
theories, as originally propounded, an?
tiquated: and upon these declarations
they base their forecast.
The Governor expects to go to Tren?
ton Tuesday ami has several appoint?
ments with party leaders there .luring!
the day. Ills appointment book for the!
remainder of the week also Is well till- f

WATRONH?SGREW
OF SPOTLESS KIOS
New Experiment at Western
Union Works Wonders With
Messenger Boys.
To downtown business men the crew
of youngsters employer! by the West?
ern union Telegraph Company have
within tho past two weeks beooma
known as the Spotless kids. The caU
for a messenger no longer turn? na
tho street gamin of popular fiction
with cap awry and hair unkempt and
s'kco unwashed. Instead thero appears
a natty youngster In faultless uniform
with a face asceptlcally clean. And
thereby hangs a tale.
Two weeks ago there was added to
the Western Union forco Miss Margaret
Bock, of this city, who undertook to
Introduce canal methods among the
messenger boys. Shu' was gftcn a
largo room In which to oparato and sh?
IHled It with a sewing rria^hln*. and
other paraphernalia designed to af
tord first aid to the Injured.
And In addition to that she laid In a
stock of soap. According to some of
the boys she also laid In a liberal
BtOclt of sand-pnper. Combs and
brushes and an assortment of buttons
wero other Items of Miss neck's out
lit.
Miss Heck Is on tho Job all day and
sees that eVery member of the llttl?
hlcyclo army Is clean before ke 's.
permitted on the street. The kids line
up In dress parade and the owner ot
a dirty fist Or smudgy face is sent to
? latihdry for repairs. When a but?
ton is lost off the coat the messenger
loungers In bis shlrt-slooves urytll It
replaced by another. When It ts
missing from the companion nether
garment, the kid retires Into seclusion
until the deficiency Is made good.
The matron system is a new stunt
on the part of the telegraph company
and works like a charm. Miss Beck
has been In the service hardly more
than two weeks nnd the U.Iff'e.rence in
the general appearance of tb forty-odd
messenger;) employed by the Western
Union has already evoked comment.
wiiir.s ItnOKEN VERTEBRAE,
Woman RecoTerlna; After n lleronrt*.
ntde Operation,
Orange. X. J. July 2V ? What Is con?
sidered o!.? the most remarkable
CttSi s In sUrgory in this section in
some time is the nlmost complete re
coverv of Mrs Mary Mariano, ,,f 1,1 Or
chard Street, this city, whose back was
broken more than two months ago in
a fall clown n flicht of stairs.
Instead of using the plaster cast
UsUally resorted to when a spine Is
fractured. Dr. Edward Calvin Solbert
performed an unusual operation by re?
inforcing the fractured vertebrae with
tine wire.
When the Injured woman was first
removed to the Orange Memorial Hos?
pital the lower part of her body was
paralyzed, owing to the compression
on the spinal column of the fractured
hones of the vertebrae. four verte?
brae arches had to be removed, nnd
then the bom s directly above nnd be?
low the injured part of the spine were
securely Joined by line wire. Enough
rigidity was secured by this means.
The surgeons Who are watching the
r.ise say the nerves are regenerating,
and thai Mrs Mariano Is now able to
move her legs nnd feet.
