Union STOCK-YARDS.

II Is gratifying to US to know that Il
serious movement is on foot for the estap-
Bshment here of a union stock-yard. Ihe
need of this has long been felt, but such
a ward is now imperatively necessary since
the passage of quarantine laws and since
the rise of a public demand for inc
thorough inspection Of animals intended
for slaughter.
This yard ought to be so located as 10
he convenient to those lines Of transporta-
ton that bring most Of the livestock
here. The advantage of this must be
obvious But what is not so obvious 10
people who have taken no notice OF the
stock that are driven through our streets
is that they need rest and proper exer-
else as soon as they are put off the cars
Instead Of being driven, oftentimes stag
eering, through the streets, they should
be run of the cars into pens, where they
might stretch their legs and recover from
the effects Of the terrible privations they
have suffered in the railroad trains.
That we do not overstate this need is
shown by the indisputable fact that there
nave
they we're being driven from the depots
to the cattle-pens Such deaths are most
frequent in the summer time, and are
most numerous in droves Of hogs. If all
the animals that are intended for slaugh-
ter here could be put off the cars into a
union stock-yard, and could be fed, wa
tered. and rested there, and then inspected
by skiiful man, the public would have
effectual guarantees that it has not now
as to the sale Of meats here.
The stock-yard would, Of course, prove
Of great convenience to buyers and sellers.
There buyers would have wide range OF
selection and there sellers would find the
best customers. Now. as we understand
buvers and sellers have to attend a num-
Der Of catte-yards.
But we confess that It is chiefly the
sanitary consideration that makes. us re-
ioce at the prospect Of Richmond's
having union stock-yard. With such
ward established we shall see few more
cattle driven through the streets. win
II established, stock upon arriving here
will be much better cared for than they
are now And connected with the yard
we ought to have inspectors who would
Gee that no sick or diseased animals were
sold there for human food
That our railroad-men. drovers, cattle
dealers, and butchers have been doing
the best that they could under the cir
cumstauces we freely grant; but that Is
not the point-Richmond ought to have
facilities such as are possessed by other
cities of our size. Without them proper
safeguards Of health cannot be provided.
Let the promoters of the union stock
yard enterprise go forward in their work

JUDGE w. w. CRUMP.

Richmond lost one of her most eminent
citizens. the bar one Of its most brilliant
and learned members. and Virginia one
OF her most devoted and loyal sons, when
on yesterday Judge w. w. Crump passed
away. No man ever lived In the COM
munity who for so long period occu-
pied so large a place in the public. eye.
From his early manhood Judge Crump
had been prominent I'm all that pertalned
to the advancement OF Richmonds IN
terest, serving her in public capacity
to the best of his great ability whenever
his services were demanded, but never
seeking office, and never seeking no
toriety
by the people at large he was known
as a criminal lawyer without peer IN
his day and generation; but the Bar oil
Virginia also knew him as equally strong
in the domain OF civil law. Ana, al
though his great reputation was made in
criminal cases. and in certain notable
civil causes, there was no man in the
Commonwealth who had more thoroughly
mastered, not only constitutional law,
but the history of the Constitution.
As Il local historian. Judge Crump was
a standard authority and his range OF
general knowledge, acquired by extensive
reading and observation, was something
wonderful AS a speaker. he was a
power, his strength lying in splendid
command of invective closely-knit logic
,.cb,,st orunoiation cIcarnesS of state
ment. and thorough earnestness. He
disdained all tricks Of oratory, and APP
pealed to the reason with force and
straightforwardnes that seldom failed
10 carry conviction and impress his
hearers with the comprehensiveness OF
his own grasp of his subject.
Judge Crump was a most delightful
conversationalist, and possessed the art
of adapting his conversation to any cir
Gle into which he might be thrown
whether composed of children, politi-
clans, lawyers, literati. or what not. His
nature was Of the kindest; his integrity
granite. To his friendships, to his people,
and TO every duty of citizenship,
he was as true as the needle to
the pole. He was hospitable to the
hearts core; was thoroughly imbued
with municipal and State pride and patri-
otism. and in the truest sense he was
tvpe of the old Virginia gentleman who
loved Virginia and her traditions with an
intensity that was a passion ennobling
I'm itself and it's example.

And fixed among the impor-
tant principles of hygiene and health is
the acknowledged necessity of a good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences Of millions of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine everproduced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition Of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing yitiated air in Of
flee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery Of life grinds hard.
Hoods SarsapariLa purifies, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out of the back,
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as
simulated.
Don't wait till you are thoroughly
sick before you begin to take a Spring
Medicine.
Lock the door before the horse IS
stolen.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla now as a
preventive and it will pay you thou
sand fold in hVlth and strength through
the coming summer.
