Plans for publication of a monthly' illustrated paper devoted ti the inter? ests of the city of Richmond were pre? sented to the committee on advertis? ing the resources of the city bj a com? mittee from the Business Men's Cluo last night. Thomas P. Bryan, presi? dent of the club, acted as spokesman and was accompanied by C. P. Wai ford. Jr., secretary; Jjhn S. Harwood. E. H. Clowes and Henry tV. Rottntree. of the club. It was proposed that the ; city should aid the Business Men's Club in the publication of such a peri? odical, under joint auspices. The cost it was estimated would be <125 peri month :*yr 2,5nn copies, all of which would be assumed by the Buslnt s?> Men's Club, which would reserve the advertising privileges. The city was asked to pruvide the salary of an edi? tor, some one familiar with city a"-, fairs, who could present facts and . figures In connection with the munici-i pality in attractive form. Several members of the committee did tot like th?- idea of paid adver- J tisements in a municipal or semi-muni? cipal organ. Others feared that an editor employed by the city would feel obliged to "nress agent" the city, rljrht or wrong, in anything it might under? take, and ti.at he would be bound by his employment to withhold all crit? icism, however Just it might be.

Bishop D. i O'Connell. of the Catn ojic Diocese of Itll hstllSss. told a re? porter for The Times.-Dispatcu yester? day afternoon what his opinion is about the recently proposed Catholi ? theatre and the Influence It Is likely to exert for the uplift of the American stage. The movement was started bf Miss Kliza O'B Lummis, of New York, in ac? cordance with a papal bull of Pius X. to tr.e Daughters of the Faith. Bisi.op O'Connell 1b or.e if the higu dignita? ries to whom letters asking ? ?-Opera? tion were addressed. He recently re? plied to that communication.' telling Miss Lit mm is that he approved of the movement. "The effort to secure a naUon-widd1 ? ?veraent for the uplift of the theatre. ? said Bishop O'Connell. la but a new application of the policy which our ci.urch has always followed in regara to the stage. We believe earnestly that whatever is bad In the drama should be eliminated, hut that when thia J is done it may be made an instrument [ of yrholesome amusement and ?du- ' j cation." j Mo? Isaaasrsl VPIaya. Ife said that the present proposal i appeared to be for the purpose of or ! ganizing the moral sentiment of every I community so that immoral plays will not be tolerated. In this conectl in *e made it plain tliat a good part of trio I success of the effort depends upon the j point of view with wMch criticisms are made. It would not do, he said, to con? duct the m .Vernent so as to advertise the plays which it is de?ired to >u Jsi.. That it is posfrole to appro-' h Uie subject in such a manner that the desired result may be obtained, Btstseg) O'Connell is sure. He spoke of a case in a Westert: State, where minsters of all denomination.-; i.ad eeaaoMaed in de? nouncing a certain play as offensive to public decency, with the result thit p.-ople no longer w? nt to see it ie i - formed. "Of course.'- he added, 'fits seh- no can have nothing coer-ive about it es? cept ItS moral force There can hS none of th? cicll censorship w hi'-H obtains in some European countries'' Definite plans for the orgai.tzat '??ix of the mov.menth have not yet be-^n made.
