Ills time for rising is 4:30 o'clock; for

a local tailor, and lives with his father
In the horn, which the boy hlms.lt
purchased. When he came with hi
parents to this country three years
ago he was unable to speak a word ot
English, and in consequence of his In?
ability to make hin fellow-newsboys
understand his name, he is familiarly
called "Joe'' by the carriers on the
street.
"Joe" has an eye to the future, and
proudly asserts that he Intends to keep
up his efforts to make and save money
until he is twenty-one years or age,
"Then I expect to go Into some
business." he Bald.
And his foresight Is of sufficient
keenness to recognize the benefits of
education: He attends night school
three times a week during the fall and
winter months, nnd says he Intends
to quit the messenger aervlee In Sep?

t. rduy?that riev< i bet. have the

and that tho progressive party Is j
losing the strength it had or might
(have had. it is to bo the usual tight '
between tho Democrats and the rngu- i
iur Republicans, with the majority

rank?.
This Information omen from former
State Senator George B. ICeezell, of

Henry, and Major J. N. .Stul)bs. or
Gloucester. Tito three >-al in the lobby
at Morph'* last night and discussed the J
situation with frli lids. j
NcH? Front i be Valley.
Senator Keexoll, from the great Val
ley Of Virginia, Bald that ihe. ?.mo- ;
crats ot Rocking Ii.im and, so far as
lie knows, of the section where he
ilVos, are united in the support
Wilson and Marshall. There Is no I
disaffection anywhere along the line.
Nobody is dlssath lied ? Ith the party |
ticket.
The Republicans of the Seventh His- I
trlcl have nominated George N. Car- (
man. now n member ol the Ilotise of
Delegates from Hocklngham, for Con?
gress against .Taints Hay, the Demo?
cratic Incumbent, u ho won his renoinl- |
nation without opposition. Senator
Keezell hears little of a Republican !
campaign. I
While the factions which have
existed during recent years among the;
Republicans of the Seventh District
might have been c.\p< ted to result in a
split this year on the national ticket,
they have not don. so.
Senator John Pistil seems to have
retained his seat in the saddle .13 the
arbiter of postmusti rs' destinies, and
is, therefore, with President Tuft. IPs
followers, under the circumstances,
have to be. On the other hand, the
affiliation between the Acker-K.e^. 1
faction of Republicans and Congress?
man C. is. Sle.nu>. w !. 1 is ardently for
Taft, seems to have held that wing of
the party In line with the regulars.
Dnuu In Ho- Fifth.
Senator Garrett has heard not one
word of a possible Republican nomi?
nation for Congress in the fifth DIs
trict. Although that bailiwick has
been doubtful foi years, it is so n >
longer. With Halifax and Charlotte
Counties added, the Democrats feel
that there Is no doubt whatever of the
result In the Ffth ths year. They
will renomlnate Congressman Edward
w Saunders lr. a convention to be held
nt Danville on September If, for he
has no oppositkn within the party.
Like the Democrats of th- Ninth, those
of the Fifth now so- m to disregard
tho primary method of nomination.
There are not so many Progressive
party people In the Fifth as there
were a few weeks ago. In Senator!
Garretl's opinion. Some of those wliol
were Inclined t,-v go with Mr. ftoose-i
yelt .have now decided to be regular. 1
While the new party may get pom"
votes In Martlhayllle from the Angl ?
faction, it is not believed It will ac?
complish much in Southslde Virginia.
Solid In Tidewater.
Major Stubbs has not heard the stiff
gestloin of n Single Democrat In Tide?
water grumbling over the party nomi?
nees or the party candidate*. Every- |
body is solid for the ticket.
There Is i , adherent of the Bull
Moose ;t> Tidewater, thinks Major'
Stubbs. The few Republicans to be
found In that section arc for Tn f t ?
at least, they will vote for him. Many
of them?perhaps most?are Federal
officeholders, and naturally they desire
to keen their positions.

CAR COMPANY IS BLAMEO
McUl Responsible fur Long Do-;
lays in Paving Many
Streets.
Dilatory work of city contractors
and the delay In execution of public
work formed a topic of discussion at i
the meeting of tho Council Committee
i>ii Streets yesterday afternoon, but
little was don..-, lite contractors that
asked for further time getting It in
each case. City Engineer Charles K.
Boiling brought first to the attention
of the committee the fact that btds
had been Invited and contracts award
ed In April to L. El. Brown & Co. for
laying a large amount Of granolithic
curbs and gutters. .Some of the work
In the West End has been partly com?
pleted, but Sixteen blocks on Church
11111 remain untouched, and no mate?
rial has been placed on the ground.
The work was to have been completed
In sixty daj s. and Is now that mu^h.
overdue. Mr. Boiling had secured bld.<
from other contractors and favored
having the work done at once at the.
expense of Messrs. Brown & Co. The
committee heard from Mr. Hrown, re?
minded him that he hud assured the
committee in the spring that he was
amply equipped to carry on the work, j
and finally gave him a week In which i
to begin work. If it Is not begun in I
that time, and thereafter prosecut. d
to the satisfaction of the City .Engi?
neer, Mr. Boiling was authorized to
have the work dono at tlie expense of
the contractor.
raxing lime Delayed,
Mr. Boiling then reported that early
in the .spring the committee had
awarded to various paving contractors
contracts for paving Robinson Street
from Broad to Main Street. Ashland
str.et from Harrison to Randolph
Street, and Pino Streot from Albe
marie to Cary Street, in neither case
has tho street railway company even
begun to replace its rails, although
given repeated notices by frequent let?
ters from the City Engineer.
on Main from Fifth '.<> Seventh the
paving had beoii delayed for several
weeks by '.ho ftreel cur company after
the street was torn up. and on Broad
Street from Harrison to All'aon
very slow progress has been mude in
relayug the tracks, the car company
there causing much delay. Mr. Hulling
explained that tho reason for these
delays waa that heretofore city con?
ti actors have done the paving between
the car tracks at the same rate' as
charged to the city, the bill being paid
by the street car company under its
franchise obligation.
c ar t uuiuhnj to Blame.
in the past lew months the Commit?
tee on Streets, over the protest of the
City Engineer, authorized a different
method of laying the car tracks, elimi?
nating concrete under the ties, and al?
lowing a crushed stone Oed. Because
of differences in the method of laying
this surface* contractors were unwill?
ing to lako the paving at the same
prico as that done for the city out?
side the car tracks, and in tho case!
of Main Slieet were unwilling to guar- |
anteo the work when done. There is i
no obligation on tho contractor for
the city to do work foi the street j
car Company at any price. The ordl- i
nance merely require t lie street car
company to repave. between its tracks
and for two feet on either side with
the same material and In the same
character as the city paves. Tho com?
mittee after discussion decided that
it had nothing to do with what ar?
rangements trio Virginia Railway and
rower Company may make with Its
contractors, and instructed the City
Kngineer to notify the company to
pp teed with the paving forthwith,
under penalty of prosecution In the
courts for further holding back of,
already iong delayed Improvements.
Haphazard Methods of ? omitUttee.
Tue haphazard way In wfitch the
Street Committee does Us work was
shown In the report of the City Engi?
neer that of the amounts apportlom-l
for streets generally to each ward in
the annual ward grab following the.
adoption of the latt annual budget each ,
Ward save Madison and Washington
has far exceeded its apportionment In
the amount of w ork ordered, while not !
one-third of the street fund has been!
actually expended. Clay Ward was]
apportioned $60,000, and the ward did-j
egatlon has ordered work costing more
than $71,000, of which less than $18,000
lias been paid out in the seven months
of this year that have passed.
I Unless more business-like methods
are adopted. It was predicted that a
large part of the street fund would
revert to the treasury at tho end of the
year, unspent, notwithstanding tho
Overwhelming demands for street Im?
provements in every section. Of the
various funds under charge of the
'Street I.iepartmenl last year, there ro
vertcd to the city treasury unexpended,
because of delay in execution of con?
tracts, carrying the. work forward into
this year, $35,436, of "which amount
$14,226.29 has been appropriated for
streets generally.
Damage*! but ,v<, Grudlng.
Mr. Boiling announced the appoint?
ment of Thomas F*. Boyle as arbitrator
for the city In settlement of certain
grading damages in the East End. In
this connection It was reported that
several of the ward delegations, not?
ably Lee Ward, have ordered assess?
ments of damages for grading and the
city lias paid damages for grading
Streets for which there are now no
available funds to do the work. On
report of the Assessor of Oamapes.
$2,."i00 was recently ordered paid prop?
erty owners on Park Avenue, weal ot
the Boulevard, for damages to their
property by reason of proposed changes
in the grades. The ward delegation
has exceeded Its funds and has no
money for the grading. If the prop
erty changes hand It may be that the,
damages will have to he paid all over
again. Several similar cases ara re?
ported.
