A Free Silver Chriatlmas

The free-silyer question was sprung sry
unexpectedly and very prettily ~ the pas
tor of st. Francis church, Rev. John Nc
Very, on Christmas afternoon by the Sun
day School children. Just twenty five years
age on Christmas eve Father McVerry,
then young priest, came here to assume
the pastorate. In that quarter of centu-
ny he has buried the most of the older
members of the congregation that he found
here when he came; has married many of
their children, land has baptized
the young ones of this generation.
He has established strong hold on the
affections of the congregation, and it was
pretty expression of that affection by the
CHI ildren whom he was sent for Wednesday
evening and found in the temporary church
a Christmas tree all glitteriEg with 25-ceht
silver pieces making $50, dollar for each
year of his passionate. The spontaneous
tribute of the little ones touched the good
pastor deeply, and we doubt if any
Christmas gift made in Staunton that day
went straighter OF deeper to the heart.
The children, who had the whole affair
in their own hands, gave an entertainment
In which tthere was the address of the
Children of Mary by Miss NJ. Wholey;
Acrostic by Miss NJ. Mclaughlin; Years

comai.mers to a Stanton Man.

The Richmond Dispatch in connection
with history and picture of the new
100000 Ches apeake & Ohio depot to be
erected in that city. pays the following
compliment to a Staunton man:
Mr.. Harry Frazier, chief engineer of the
Chesape axe and Ohio, has probably done
more of the hard work in connection with the
Richmond schemes of that road than any other
officer. While he had the benefit of surveys
and preliminary work done by men of stand
ing and reputation, as MI. r. u. Witcomb
and MI. Weir, MI. Frazier. with the advice
and assistance of The other officers of the COM
pany, worked out all the details pertaining to
the improvements. His work in this matter
has called into play engineering talents of a
high order and has had the approval Of men
who are in the first rank of American engi-
neers. Mr.. Frazier is a native of Staunton,
Va. and lineal descendant of John Lewis,
the first English settler of Augusta county.
He began his engineering career tn 1879, in
the location and construction of railways in
Kentucky, and was for seven years later con-
nected with the engineering department of
the Louisville and Nashville railway. He
served in various capacities, including con-
struction, maintenance, and genaral opera
ten of that system on the more important
divisions in several States. and, finally, at
the headquarters of the company, in Louis
vile. He entered the employment of the
Chesapeake and Ohio under Mr.. Ingalls,,
early in 1899. as superintendent of mainten-
ance of way. He was appointed superinten-
dent of transportation and maintenance of
the line west of Clifton Forge in 1890, and
was made chief engineer of the whole system
in 1891. Mr.. Frazier is the youngest full
mem Der Of the American Society of Civil
Engineers.
