Resignation Of State Secretary
Williams.

The resignation of Y. NJ. G. A. State
Secretary H. o. Williams, to take effect
October LIST. was mentioned last week.
Mr.. Williams was such a personal favor
lite in Staunton, and had such large ac-
quaintance here that we print below his
letter. We learn that there is a strong
feeling in Y. NJ. g. A. circles to press Capt.
II. NJ. McIlhany OF Staunton to take the
place. He would make an ideal State Sec
Rotary if he could be induced to take it.
Mr.. Williams in his letter OF resignation,
dated March 18th, after referring to some
of the affairs of the Association, says:
To some members of the committee it has
been known for some time that have been
considering call to the work among railroad
men under the direction of the International
Committee; to Others this news comes to-day
for the first time. The appeal that this work
makes to me am not able to resist, and the
only reason that can give for considering
it, is in the Importance and need of this spe-
cial line of work, together with the thought
that God can use me in this new department
in doing something more to save them than
am now able to do.
Ever since was approached about this work
/ have been looking for guidance from God,
and have had much unrest and anxiety, lest
i should do what was not for the best interest
of the work, but am at last convinced that
L am making no mistake in asking this COM
mittee to accept my resignation.
These eight years and more that have
worked with this committee have been the
happiest. the best. and, believe, that can
say the most blessed years of my life, and the
hardest thing / have ever done is what am
doing now, asking you to receive my resig-
nation. You, one and all, have been loyal
supporters, true friends, practical and con-
slant advisers, and it has been pleasure to
work with you. think say truly that there
has never been the least friction between the
State Committee and the State Secretary, or
i between the members of the committee. The
| work has been carried on from the beginning
in harmony and love, the desire ever being to
; do the most for the young men of our State
through the agency we represent. can wish
my successor no better thing, than that he
may share and enjoy the same privilege and
lthappiness that l have had in working with
Z you.
While I am anxious to take hold of the new
f,work that is awaiting me, yet do not wish to
lido it at the sacrifice or the injury of the work
Jim Virginia, and shall only ask that my re-
signation take effect when the above eOndi-
lions are so far met with as to make my leav-
ling consistent and right.
\ May God lead US all in our future work,
shaking the labofs of you. His servants, to
more and more abo und to His honor and glo-
lay in the salvation of the young men of our
Estate, and I ask that your prayers be with me
and for me as undertake new work for the
Egfeat army of men who are so much in need Of
the Gospel Of Christ.
Yours sincerely,
II. o. WILLIAMS,
State Secretary.

killing upon small provocation, to under
estimate the value of human life.
From the Richmond Daily Star
The acquittal of Thomas A. Goodman
will be generally approved by the people of
the entire State. This has been one of the
most famous trials, creating more general
discussion than any since the Cluverius
case. And in all discussions there has
been general consensus of opinion that
the verdict in the case should be very
light penalty or an absolute acquittal.
From the Lynchburg News.
The verdict of mot guilty. in the Good
man. Parsons murder case at Charlottes-
vile yesterday is a travesty of criminal law
and justice in Virginia. But we need not
be surprised at such a verdict, when the
leading paper Of the town the day before,
in reporting the proceedings of the trial,
made the following remarkable statement:
"a prominent citizen said this morning
that if Captain Goodman was acquitted he
intended to give big oyster supper in honor
OF the event, and that he had 500 in his peck
ct for that purpose"
To talk about justice when jury and a
community are swayed by such considera-
lions as that in grave criminal trial is
mockery. But let the ''oyster supper" come
off and the jury be banguetted and toasted
over the dead mans bones. Meanwhile the
outside world will have good reason to con-
clude that human life is held in poor es-
TEEN in Virginia. The charge of the pre-
siding judge in this case somewhat miti.
gates the otherwise utter enormity of the
verdict of the Jury; but the whole proceed
ing will go down in criminal annals as the

Ho Can RIDE Now.

A young sign painter and a member OF
the Wilmington Bicycle Club had his
drst experience in riding the wheel Of
steel last night and his friends are stlll
laughing over the experience. He has
been an enthusiastic member Of the club
for some time but has never ridden.
Yesterday morning he bolght wheel

friends, went TO Washington street

several trips back and forth on the bridge
and numerous falls when be tried to 60

age, started for the club house
IL was pretty dark, and be hadn't
ridden far before he came 70 puddle in

roadway he threw himself from the

In these days OF women lawyers,
women doctors, in fact women in all the
llnes,iof business which we're formerly
supposed to be reserved exclusively for
the sterner sex, It is refreshing to learn
that there is one business which has not
been invaded thus far by the gentle
sharers Of our joys and wees
Even this territory Is not absolutely
safe from her inroads II the statement
Of one Of the labor leaders in New York
is to be believed. He says In a manifesto
recently published:
"We are making determined efforts to
organize the working women here, as
they are placed in competition with the
sterner sex more and more every day
The only business they have not invaded
SO far is the climbing Of telegraph poles
to string wires, but with the advent Of
the bicycle bloomers there's no knowing
what may occur"

sympathy for Cuba.

From the Boston Standard
II is probsbly certain that the Ameri-
can spirited people Of the United States
are entirely In sympathy with the
present motives OF the "lnsurgents" In
Cuba. The causes CT this sympathy are
perfectly natural and they are empha.
sized BY preosdents which have been
written indellibly In universal history
during at least the past 200 years. The
chief incentive Of American sympathy
for Cuba is In the fact that the Cuban
situation to day Is practically similar tc
tho situation which existed IN this coun
try Just before the revolution; it Is
essentially the case Of a colony uDjustly
and outrageously oppressed by its mother
country. : 1t is not the case Of a dis
gruntled and uDprlnoipled element
seeking iusular Independence az a means
to unpatriotic and greedy ends.

A southsrner Cor Nlnetr.six.

From the New York Tribune.
The Washington Posts appeal for
free field for Democratic candidate for
ihe President next year Is promptly
seconded by Senator Hill While he does
not specifically recommend a southern
Democrat for 1898, hs condemns "any
policy which seeks to dehsse an otherwise
acceptable candidate" on sectional
grounds "Tha existing political condi-
tlons, he adds sententously, demand
that the party should have the
whole country TO choose from "
If tho senator were to be
CROSS examined, he would probably
discriminate between theory and prac-
tice. While contending that the field
should bsopen to all candidates. and that
southern leaders should not be excluded
from competition for Presidential honors,
he would be likely TO reserve judgment
on matters of political expedlency.
Theoretically. he favors fair contest
without sectional prejndiees or Jealous.
les, but, practically, he will consider a
Northern democrat, who Is willing To
open the lists to southern rivals
altogether" the best man TO win. Indeed,
the adroit senator will be generally
suspected OF making direct bid for
southern support In magnanimously
advocating a national policy Of toleration
in the selection OF 3 Presidential candi-
date from the whole country.
