SIR. HYDE COMING TO RICHMOND.
Memphis Congregation Gives Him
In ReiuctnntIy

The congregation OF Rev. Charles r.
Hyde. pastor Of the Lauderdale-Street
Presbyterian church, Memphis, at a meet
ing held last Sunday. gave their consent
for him 10 come to Richmond as pas
tor OF the Third Presbyterian church.
IL IL was his viii to do So II only re-
mains now for the Memphis Presby-
terry 10 give its consent for the ministers
transfer.
Mr.. Hyde's congregation parts with
him very reluctantly, but prefer. II they
must part with him. 10 give him up to
Richmond and 10 the church the form
or pastor Of which-the late Rev j. =.
GammOn-was his wife's cousin. Mr..
Hyde hopes TO be I'm Richmond 10 preach
his first sermon as pastor of the Third
church on Sunday, the 18th. His family
will follow him 20 the city as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be made.
The congregation are very hopeful that
their church viii soon have the SER
vices of an active. jealous and devout
pastor. and that the good work will
again be taken up where Rev Mr..
Cannon had to lay it down when he was
stricken with Illness which resulted in
his death.
Speaking OF The congregational meeting
Of Memphis and of Mr. Hydes transfer
10 this city, one Of the Memphis papers
says:
THE presbytery will meet this week.
and will most likely concur in the vote
Of the congregation. If so, Mr.. Hyde will
at once make preparations for removal
and will preach his last sermon about two
weeks hence. The Third Presbyterian
church at Richmond is larger church
than the one he has been serving here,
with much wider field for labor, and offers
more 20 a wide-awake. aggressive minis
ter than the Lauderdale-Street church
The salary is the same. so there is no.
thing but love of the work and hope Of
broadening field TO entice the pastor
hence
REV. G. II. Hyde is not only fine
speaker but he is a singer as we'll and
If he cannot reach sinners by the Word
he will by song. 1t is with deep regret
that Memphis will lose such talented
young minister, but the loss of Memphis
will be RichmOnds gain.
Mrs. Hyde will also be sadly missed.
She is of a family of preachers. Her
father is Rev. Dr. Bachmann, Of Chat
tanOOga. She has also thirty-seven other
male relatives who are Presbyterian
preachers. She is an earnest and devout
Christian. and a great help in all good
work She is greatly beloved by all who
know her in Memphis. and in all Ten
nessee. She has many kinspeople in Nir-
gina. also. and has already an extern

Nervousness

Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give il vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
voUsness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versallv recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acl1nowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking a preparation which only
quietS your nerves! 1t is like trying to
"drown' your sorrows in the flowing
bowl. They are sure to return.
We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism:
You cannot purify your blood by
pEADENING or oUIETNG your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
pounds. If you take such articles
you are only THRILLING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be a REAC-
TIoN which will leave you worse than
you were before.
Why not then, take the true course,
follow the bee. line to the state Of
health, purify your blood and cure
your Nervousness by taking

THE journalists of Russia who petitioned
the Czar for some modification of the
rigors of the press censorship have not
only had their petition denied but have
been virtually informed that they have
mo right to petition for favors Their
august sovereign knows what is good for
them without being annoyed with their
appeals, and he will attend to their case
when he feels in the mood. In the mean
time the press censorship will not be
sbated one jot. This is the substance of
the Governments reply to the journalists
and Of course they assume an outward
expression Of great gratitude. And well
they may. If the proprietor of a printing

An old Lady Murdered and Robbed.

KINGSTON, n. Y, April 29-At the Irish
settlement of Bluestone the house of Mrs.
Edward Duffy, widow so years old, was
seen to be on fire, A neighbor went to the
rescue of the old lady, who lived alone. He
found the doors and windows tightly
barred. Breaking in he discovered Mrs.
Duffy on the bed asleep, as he supposed,
but in carrying her out he found she was
dead, with her throat cut and her clothing
saturated with kerosene, which had also
been used freely about the house. Mrs.
Duffy had recently drawn a sum of money
from the Ulster County Savings bank
here, and it is believed that she was robbed
and murdered, as no trace of the money
can be found.
