LYScHBURG, Va, May 20.-W. F..
McCaughey, general secretary OF the
Young Mems Christian Association of
this city. has rendered his resignation to
the Board of Directors OF the association.
II is rumored the resignation was caused
bv the criticism of the Board OF Di-
rectors for the betting and disorderly
scenes enacted on Friday last at the
Athletic grounds during the game OF
ball between the Washington and Lee
and the University teams. Mr.. Nc
Canghey is reticent as to the matter, and
il is impossible to confirm the rumor.
Four colored persons-two men and
two women-have been arrested for
having stolen goods in their possession,
which, it is believed, belongs to the
United States Express Company, which
has lost great many valuable articles
within the past few months here. The
principal thief, Dick Goode, was ar
rested here some time ago and is still IN
iail and detectives have been on the
scent for the goods ever since. 1t is es'
timated that 81, 600 worth of goods have

Born to Good Luck.

Capt. Lafayette E. Campbell Of the quar-

luck. Recently he has been stationed in
Colorado. When the great mines were dis
covered at Creede Campbsll was in 1.-THE
ring" He didn't happen to have much
loose change In his pockets just then but a
friendly banker loaned him 81 500, which
he turned over TO Mr.. Creede for an interest
in the mines. Already he is said TO be re-
ceiving an income Of $4,000 year from
this investment. If the yield OF the mines
continues he is tolerably certain to be q
millionaire. There are not many rich men
in the United States army or navy.
If any of them happens TO become
wealthy by fortunate investment or
through requests he generally
makes haste to resign or retire and enjoy
his fortune. l have heard young officers
complain that rich fathers aud mothers do
not encourage their daughters to marry
officers, and when it cannot be avoided they
generally insist that the young man shall
leave the ser vice as a condition of marrying
into the family. This is. of course, ali
wrong, and it is not patriotic. The young
men ought to DO encouraged to stay in the
service instead OF being seduced out Of IL.
A good many Of the young officers seem to
feel as II the service was regarded as a good
place for men who could not have succeeded
In getting a living in any other way. II
that idea were generally entertained it
would tend TO become the actual fact.
