"We have not sent for the doctor this year," said Superintendent Osborne yes terday "The children are all well, and aa happy as they can be." The new addition to the orphanage will give much more space.

"I am struck with the class of churches the colored people ara building," said a white churchman yesterday "Friend ship, Ebentzcr and Grace churches, new are credits to the colored people of tht city." A Mntsance. Why any one would run a spout on the front of a building so that it would drsk on the sidewalk is a mystery. Ther are two spouts, one on the lower Bee Hive the other on the building occupied b Mr. E j Rene Cogbill, and others on Eati Trade street, which kept the sldewalkt in that vicinity flooded yesterday, and cay before, and the same thing happens every time It rains or snows. It was equal to crossing a rivulet to get across the water As soon as the present thaw ia over, the city should compel the property-ownerf to remove the spouts so as j drain else where than on the sidewalk. Telegraphic Key Tape. One of the busiest places in the city is Train Dispatcher Kennedy's office at the Richmond & Danville station.
