DEATH OF HUGH McCRUN.
Many Lynchburgers Bear Him In
Affectionate Remembrance.
rLynchburg News.

Those Lynchburgers who in many
wears past have attended Washington
and Lee University and the Virginia
Military Institute have learned with
deep grief of the death of Hugh Nc
Crum. Every student who has been in
Lexington in the past ten or fifteen
years, and every cadet remembers Mr..
McCrum as one of the pleasant acquaint-
ances of college days, and they also
remember how high place he occu-
pied in their regard. At all times he
was interested in their plans and under
takings, and there was never an occas-
ion when he did not give them his
sympathy and assistance. Polite,
courteous, and affable he was always
approachable, and those who entered
his place of business invariably met with
q warm and cordial welcome. In the
community in which he lived, he was
highly respected, and when the dread
disease with which he suffered for so
many years first attacked him, he was
entering upon business career Of un-
usual promise, with future full of
success and happiness.

WOMEN PASS THE PLATES.

The Rev. DIR. L: G.. Broughton, pas
tor OF the Third Baptist church, of At
lanta, made all innovation Sunday night
in the methods Of his church which
caused a sensation in his flock. Hither-
to six staid and sober deacons have
passed around the collection plates,
but Sunday night six young women Of
the congregation performed the duty.
The substitution caused many curious
changes. Young men and susceptible
bachelors, who previously had been In
the habit of dropping small coins into
the plate, searched neryously in their
clothing for fugitive quarters and hall
dollars, and eventually gave much more
than they expected to give when they
entered the church.
The young women preserved the
gravest demeanor, making the rounds
of every aisle and stopping before every
member of the congregation. When
they marched solemnly to the pulpit to
the swelling tones of the organ, their
plates were well filed. On counting
up the amount turned in, it was found
that the collection was larger than any
in recent months.

the effects of which he died Fireman
Joseph Stevens, also of Roanoke, was
killed, and Dave Winger, a brakeman,
is said to be fatally injured. The train
was loaded with live stock. Tie acct
dent was due to q span OF the bridge

still under construction when the accl-
dent happened. The props were taken
from under the bridge just before the
train arrived and as it pulled on the
bridge The engine and two cars went
down. 1t is reported that number
of the bridge force were more or less
injured. The damage will possibly
amount to $4,000.
Superintendent l.. E. Johnson, with
several surgeons from Roanoke accom-
panied by the officers OF the road went
at once TO the scene of the disaster,
followed by a wrecking train.
The bodies of.the dead and injured

now passing over the Baltimore and

tinue to use this route until the bridge
is repaired.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Faithful to the custom that has been
handed down t. us from time imme-
mortal, the nation sent up its thanks
last Thursday to a kind Providence for
the many blessings which have fallen
to the American people during the past
year. .1his is proper from practical
as well as a religious standpoint. The
great nation has reached step further
in its march of prosperity aud strength.
Instead OF 100000 people, 10000
900 people now claim the stars and
stripes as the flag OF their country. In
stead OF an untried republic, we glory
in one of the greatest and most power
full nations on earth, daily increasing
in strength and influence. 1t is well
that we stop, at least once year, to
consider these things. To devote a
day to retrospection, that the thin gs
which are transporting around us, and
of which we are not in daily contact,
may be examined into and thought of
and weighed. 1t is by this means that
we 90 on to become good citizens, pat
riots and law-abiding people, proud OF
our country and ready to sacrifice life
and property for its welfare and safety.
But above and beyond all this, there
is higher principal involved in this,
our Thanksgiving Day. A principal
which one learns at his mothers knee
and which is the basis of permanent
prosperity, education, refinement, sue
cess and happiness-the belief in and
the recognition Of Almighty God.
In Lexington the day is becoming
more and more to be observed as a
holiday. While not ali our people go
to church and thus carry out the idea
Of public worship as recommended by
the President of the United S a,es,
still nearly every one in The community
suspended business on that day. Some
took that occasion to spend the day
hunting or fishing.
Union services were held IN the Presby
terian church at II O'Clock, the sermon
being pre- lched by Rev. DR.. r. j. Nc
Bryde, assisted by Rev. Dr. J. L.
Wightman, and Rev. Or. Thornton

SILVER FOR 1900.

Benton McAlillin, for twenty years a
member uf Congress and Governor
elect of Tennessee, said in New York
the other day in talk about the
Philippines: "If the people of the Is
lands say they are capable of self-gov-
eminent and should be part Of the
United States, then they are entitled
to representation, and under our form
of government TIE Philippines would
be entitled to 40 members of Congress.
This would be the balance CT power.
Are we prepared to vest such power in
q horde Of Malays? l don't think so
What with Hawaii and other places we
have responsibility enough. The ex-
pansion won't do. The silver question
in 1900 is going to give our minds oc-
cupalion enough without bothering
about expansion"
