REy. M. u. H0GE, ID. D.--The Bditinlo-
redn OF this week will contain o good pic
ture Of Rev. DIR. Hoge and o sketch OF his
life. He was born in the county OF Prince
Edward, and Is descended on his fathers
side from ancestors who emigrated from the
north Of Ireland, and settled In Frederick
county, Va. in 1876. They were noted for
their piety, integrity, and intelligence. His
grandfather was DIR. Moses Hoge, president
Of Hampden Sidney College-one OF the best
men who ever lived, and one OF the most
eminent among the great and good ministers
who have so richly blessed the Presbyterian
Church in Virginia. John Randolph says In
one OF his letters that he was the most elo-
quent man he ever heard in the pulpit or
out OF it.
sEThree OF his sons became ministers OF
the gospel--yiz-: DR.. james Hoge, OF Coz
lumbus, Ohio John Blair Hoge, of Rich
mond, Va. and Samuel Davies Hoge, presi-
dent Of Athens College, Ohio. The last
named died early in life, leaving two sons,
who became ministers Of the gospel, the
younger OF whom was the late Rev. William
j. Hoge, D. D., and the elder is the subject
Of this sketch. -.
CON the maternal side DR.. Hoge is de-
scended from the family Of Lacys, who emf
grated from England to Virginia in early
colonial times. His grandfather was the
Rev. Drury Lacy, D. D., president of Hamp-
den Sidney College, minister Of great emf
nence and worth. Two Of his sons became
ministers-the Rev. William s. Lacy, OF
Louisiana, and Rev. DruTy Lacy, d. D.,
formerly president Of Davidson College,
and now of Raleigh, N. C.. Many Of the re.
moter descendants Of both DR.. Hoge and
DR.. Lacy have also entered the Office OF the
ministry On both sides, therefore, DR.
Hoge is emphatically Of the tribe Of Levi.
ellis ministry began in Richmond in 1Si4
His church was built in 1S4S. 1t struggled
through great trials, and all admit that it:
success has been, under God, chiefly due te
the skill and perseverance of its pastor. Hi'
reputation and influence have been con
stantly growing with the growth Of hi:
church (the Second Presbyterian, now one
OF the largest in Virginia.
"Invitations to the presidency OF Hamp'
den Sidney College, to become a pastor il
Lexington, Va, St. Louis, Brooklyn, New
York, and elsewhere, have never tempted
him from the field OF his first labors. 1t ha
fallen to the lot Of few men to attract sucl
congregations as habitually attend his min
istry, and still larger wherever he goes t.
preach or to lecture.

HAD TO MOVE HIS STASD.-Mr. Castagllo,
the peanut- and frrlit-vender at the south
east corner of Broad and Ninth streets, on
Saturday morning placed his store, stock,
&C., on a wagon and transported them to
the corner of Ninth and Main streets. No
sooner, however, had he located against the
store @ than Sergeant Chalkley notified him to
move his stand, or he would be bereported and
fined. m Castaglio said he had gotten written
nermission from Colonel Cutshaw. The
Colonel was sent for. Upon his arrival he
asked Castaglio to produce the paper. 1t
was found that permission had been granted
upon condition that he did not obstruct the
Sidewalk or violate the city ordinance. I'm
fortunately for Castaglio, he was compelled
to remove, as it was decided that 1t OBJ
strllcted the street.
