these tickets to be forfeited when presented

THE NEW rAsToK OF TRINITY.

Rev. j. w. Duffy breaches an Impressive
Sermon ON Faitk.
The hall of the Real Estate Exchange,
where the services of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, are held, was
crowded at both services Sunday, Rev.
j. w Duffy, the new pastor, preaching
AT the morning service the sacrament
Of the Lords Supper was administered
to the new church for the first time. and
ther were nearly 800 communicates,
Rev. Mr.. Duffy is quiet, pleasing
speaker, and made n most favorable i'm
preston on his audiences, both at the
morning and evening service. Gath"
was the theme of the evening discourse
and the text was "IIave faith in God. 4"
Mark 1892.
Faith" said Rev. Mr.. Duffy. "was
not a new faculty or characteristic, nor
the mysterious thing that many sup
posed it to be-" He proceeded to IL
lustrate how men believed as firmly in
material things they had never seen as
those they witnessed every day, and
That to have faith in God was only to
exercise that faculty which enables men
to believe in material things. The
preacher proceeded to show that the
man who has faith in God will do his
will. Faith, he said, solves the prob
lem of meat and bread. Works are the
evidence of faith. Works and faith are
the oars by which the bark is steadily
and correctly propelled. Faith in God
also solves the problem of happiness in
life. The man who has this faith
stands above the clouds and derives a
measure of happiness from the darkest
hours. The sermon was replete with
beautiful thoughts and striking illustra-
tions, and Trinity congregation con-
siders itself fortunate in having secured
Rev. Mr.. Duffy as it's pastor.

One Word More.

II has heretofore been stated in our coll
umns that Governor McKMYKY would pro-
badly recommend to the next Legislature
the passage Of law providing for the APP
pointment Of State geologist. That the
Legislature will comply with this recon-
mendation we deem also probable. Never
theless it can do no harm to keep before
the people the reasons which render the
enactment of such law desirable. One
of the best articles we have seen on the
subject 10 the following short one from the
Rockbridgs County Netos:
.Nearly all the other States have such an
officer; and q State like Virginia, which boasts
largely OF its undeveloped IMMORAL wealth. GER
tainly needs the knowledge and skin OF science
In this limo. Everything that Ia done now 70 call
attention to the States mineral resources Is the
work of private and local efforts. All informa-
ton about the quality, quantity. and variety OF
our minerals 10 left entirely to chance aud
private enterprise Many sections and nsighbor-
hoods are prospering and growing rich because
somebody found out and had the means and en-
terprise 10 develop the resources they contained.
All over the State there sleep unknown and I'M
developed hundreds Of deposits OF wealth as
rich or richer than what have come to Ugh.
This Is because there is no distntorested person
Of skil to point them out.
"our citizens are frequently badly cheated for
the lack Of this kind Of knowledge. Capitalists
send out their skilled prospcctors to Spy out the
country, and they pounce upon rich nnds and
get for . mere song what 10 worth Thousands.
This would be one line OF = State ssoiog!sts
work--to indicate at least the regions where
valuable deposits Of ore, coal, ETC., might Do
found.
"In fact, counties land many Of them dc this
kind Of work for themselves, orgntto hare geo
logical surveys made"
The Eoss is right. The buyer who
prospects in company with a trained
gsologist is proof against speculation at
his expense on the part OF the seller. On
the other hand. the seller who pros
pects" in the same sort Of company 10
proof against the Establishments of the
most persuasive Spectator amongst the
purchasers. We would have the land
owner avail himself of the services Of ex-
perisnced and impartial explorers or prac-
teal biologists.

years. Our products are passed direct

Germ in the any city in the Union-we
except none-can produce any better
clothing than ours, nor can any-no ex-
ceptions-sell clothing OF equal merit
any cheaper. We know these are bold
assertions, but arc here to verify Just
what we say.
In our TO-MEASURE DEPART
MENT our scale OF prices is but q slight
advance over the ready-mede rates, and
q perfect fit, as we'll as a thorough first

m,sread,np Mortuary Figures.

Our Board Of Health Is intelligent and
painstaking and courageous in reporting
every death that occurs in this city, as all
other boards should be in their respective
territories. But we fear that this Is not
always the rule. We have heard OF cities
which established hospitals outside OF
their corporate limits and never CHARGED
themselves with deaths which occurred In
them. II all the Boards rendered as
thoroughly honest reports as ours does we
dare say there would be no basis whatever
for such mortuary statistics as the Marine
Hospital Board has recently issued TO the
discredit of this city. Our board, in whom
we and the general public have implicit
faith, should and no doubt will advise with
the City Council and adopt measures TO
vindicate our reputation.
There is "catch" somewhere, ana as
Richmond has nothing to fear from an IN
vestigation as to its healthfulness. we
hope the diligence Of our Board Will be
exerted to discover and expose it.

THE RICHMOND DISPATCH docs not believe tha'
there Is a centenarian now living In virginia.
and perslstently rejects all cases and evidence
tina, are brought to its attention Its persistcncy
in this respect indicates that IL will not be salts
fed short OF the afiidavlt Of some one who hap
poned to be present when the ccntenarian was
born, and as such witnesses win DO hard 70 nnu,
the DISPATCH viii remain unconvinced. but il
the editor Of that paper win take trip to YORK
town mere glance ct the surroundings wiz DC
suflcIent 10 convince him that instead oil one
there Is a whole community OF centenariahs IN
the State dfr(dr Herad.
The DISPATCH says nothing more than
that il has never seen a centenarian, nor
ever received an affirmative answer to the
inquiry when we have asked person
whether he had ever seen one. we affirm
nothing az TO the existence or non-exist-
ence of centenarians.
However, we must admit that the Herald
made hit in referring to Yorktown. The
first part OF the paragraph above quoted
was probably written IN order to serve as q
mould for the Yorktown hit-iust as POPE
wrote
"A Wits feather and chiefs rod"
after having written
IAN honest nan is the noblest work OF Cod
