ROANOKE, VA., NOVEMBER 29. 1898.
PUBLIC SCALES.
Nearly every town of any size in tho
country possesses a set of public scales
lor woighing heavy loads. Roanoko
has none, and thoir absence causes moro
inconvenience than can well bo ima?
gined. At present consumers hove to
depend upon tho honesty of dealers in
buying many bulky articles.
Coal and hay aro two in which tto
consumer is at groat disadvantage,
owing to tho difficulty in securing full
weights and quality. Nearly all hay
sold in Roanoko is baled, if there
were public scales hay would be brought
in loose and a bettor quality secured.
There would then bo a sure method of
?securing full weights of coal, where at
present a dishonest dealer may cheat
his customer of two hundred weight to
the ton without detection.
A set of scales of ten ton capacity,
probably set near or in the public dia?
mond, would cost between $500 and 6750.
Their custody would properly bo In the
hands of the market master. Even at
the minimum feos they would yield a
large retnrn on their cost, and in sav?
ing to consumers the outlay would bo
repaid many fold in a single year.
The Times has already heard tho sub?
ject favorably discussed by business
men and by sevoral members of Council
-and believes that Council will Bhortly
take steps to give the city this needed
convenience.
TIIKKE WISE MOTES.
Council did sevoral big things last
night. It settled the World's Fair ap?
propriation. Now, if Roanoko's citi?
zens and manufacturers want to make
an exhibit, let them gG into their pri?
vate and personal pockets and put up
for as fine an exhibit ae they are able
to pay for.
Thon Council made a beginning on
decent sidewalks. It was only a begin?
ning, but it heads in tho right direction.
There is room in Roanoke for 6150,000 to
bo judiciously expended on sidowalks,
which aro the poor man's highways.
And, lastly, Council has put its O. K.
mark on tho electric lighting project.
Roanoko ha3 unusually good gas, but
gas is as far behind tho <roquiremeats of
municipal lighting as tallow dips aro
for Illuminating purposes.
TUE UECEMIIKIt COSMOPOLITAN,
In view of tho fact that Sir Edwin
Arnold will very likely bo tho next
poet-laureate, one turns with interest to
his most entertaining article in the De?
cember Cosmopolitan on a "Japaneso
Watering Place." The -same number
contains seven portraits of Tonnyson
and interesting views of his late homo
and surroundings. Thomas Gorman
has penetrated tho mysteries of the cl?
ient tuappista' monastery with a profane
kodak; Murat Halstoad discusses "Va?
rieties of American Journalism;" Herr?
mann iSbrowo "Light on tho Black Art"
.and Theodore Rooaevelt and Maurice
Thompson each contribute interesting
articles. A feature of the number is
itwonty-four portraits of Parisian jour?
nalists, with sketches of their work. A cu?
rious bit is found in the contrast of tho
double frontispieces which adorn tin
themagazino?on one side the marvel?
lous painting of "The Conquerors," by
Fclt^l, whioh attracted so intich
tention at tho last Paris salon, and on
the other 'The Conquered," by Anton
Dietrich; in the one tno heroes of war
movkag down tho vista of centuries
magnificent array between ghastD
linos of nakod corpses, the other the
unfortunate of all times and land*
nocking beneath tho gentle hand of
the loving Christ. Tho Cosmopolitan
will mark its first edition of 150,000
copies? that of January?by the offer of
1,000 free scholarships. In return for
introducing tho Cosmopolitan into cer?
tain neighborhoods tho Cosmopolltar
offers to any young man or woman fret
tuition, board, lodging and laundry at
Yale, VasBar, Harvard, or any of thf
leading colleges, schools of art, music
science or medicine. They send out
pamphlet on application tolling how to
obtain one of tto?? frr>o srh >larships.

and, in tho absonco of Secretary Groves,
:Rev. H. C. Garrison was appointed sec?
retary pro torn. The pastors prosent
were Revs. Flippo, Rico, Ferguson,
Campbell, Reiter, Hamner and Garri
?son. Tho mooting was openod with
prayer by Rev. S. L. Rice, after which
tho usual routlno business was disposed

tion from Rev. \V. T. Schooloy, ex-pas?
tor of the Lee Street Methodist Church,
in which ho stated he had visited tho

him, after which conference adjourned.
The Cieelllnn MiMtloal Society.
The Cn-cilian Musical Society, re?
cently organized, is rapidly assuming
largo proportions. Each cuooessive re?
hearsal gives gratifying results and in?
dicates, on tho part of the members, an
unusually intelligent conception of tho
music placed bofore them. While the
membership is large and fully up to
the expectation of the managers aa far
as the association has progressed, there
is yet amplo room and opportunity for
those who have not already connected
themselves with tho association to be?
come members theroof. It is tho ear?
nest wiih of those hating charge that
all such parties should become members
As applications for membership can bo
mado during regular rehearsals, a fine
opportunity presents itself to thoso who
desiro to join.
The Negro Admitted His C.ullt.
