The Baltimore Sun of yesterday says:
Sylvanus Stokes was yesterday appoint
ed committee by Judge Wickes 10 take
charge Of Mrs. Mary Lucy Ford, OF Rich
mond, Va, who was recently adjudged
insane by a jury.
Mr.. Stokes is the proprietor OF the
Eutaw House, and Mrs. Ford. the wife OF
the owner Of F'ord's Hotel. He gave a
bond Of 81 coo for the faithful performance
of his duties. General Edgar Allan, or
Richmond, was appointed to take charge
of the estate OF Mrs. Ford. under the d.
rection OF the Court, upon the filing OF
q bond of 5000
This is the end OF one OF the most in
teresting cases ever tried in the Baltimore
courts. Mrs. Ford is a wealthy Rich
mond lady, who at first became eccentric
and then insane. Her children, fearing
that she would do herself bodily harm,
had her committed to Mount Hope. as
there was no asylum for the insane IN
Virginia where she could be kept In the
manner to which she had become accus-
toned.

the International Sunday-School Union,
who is on tour through Virginia, met
the Sabbath school officers and teachers

terrain church last night He talked most
Interestingly to his audience. which was
quite large and enthusiastic.
The chair was taken by Mr.. Thomas
Potts. and Dr. Witherspoon, pastor of
the church, offered prayer. Dr. Hamill.
in a few eloquent remarks, introduced
his subject, and gave most interesting
and useful talk for Sunday school work
ers. A list of twenty-six useful things
connected with Sunday school was put
on the blackboard and those present
We're invited to select the ten most i'm

selected by vote:
PInctuality and regular attendance;
good teachers; attendance on church;
the Bible alone in the school; Good sing
ing; primary department; supply of
teachers; visitation Of scholars, church
members in the school, and conversions.
The singing, led by Mr.. Harvie Blair
was hearty. and great interest was mani
tested in the meeting, several questions
being asked.
Professor Hamill paid Richmond high
compliment as a church-going city, rank
ing it next to Toronto and Hamilton, in
Canada. Professor Hamill goes on Mon
day to Newport News. Norfolk, Danville,
and other Virginia cities.
AS an old Confederate soldier, he has
kind recollections of Virginia and the
years he spent during the war, but now
he is engaged in another war against the
power Of darkness.
Richmond church-goers will have two
opportunities of hearing this eloquent
speaker to-day--at Union-Station Metho-
dist church at $3.50. and DR.. Hatcher's
Tabernacle at o'clock.

Mr.. w. r. Jones, of Barton Heights, du-
ring his stay in this section Of Virginia.

A Great Enterprise for Richmond.

Strangers coming into the city are be-
ing very much impressed by Richmonds
growth through the magnificent new es-
Enlistment that is to open here, refer
ring to the Meyer store" FOushee and
Broad. Not all of us realize the magni-
tude of the establishment. Already LOO
bales and cases Of merchandise have been
received and stored away in the new
building, and yet it is but drop in the
bucket. The manager OF the new store
said yesterday, that the exhibition and
sales OF ready-made muslin underwear,
embroideries and goods with which 10
make up underwear. will be enough in
Itself to attract every lady in Richmond
and the surrounding country TO the OPEN
ing. besides the fact that the dress goods
department has been placed under the
charge Of an expert, for many years with
the leading dress goods importers OF this
country, who has for the last three
months been making preparations to
show at the opening worsted, silk, and
wash fabrics, such extensive assortments
as are found only in the large depart
ment stores of the North. This fact
alone will keep thousands OF dollars in
Richmond, which heretofore has gone to
these northern cities, through mail orders.
A corps of men tailors have been engaged,
who will make to order ladies' suits and
coats, either from their own material
or goods you might buy in the store. The
third floor, we believe, though, will be
one OF the most attractive in the store.
for here the ladies Of the house may Sc
lect carpets. wallpaper, and furniture,
and see them altogether, just as they
will appear in her rooms. From present
estimates. more than 225 people Will be
kept busy in and out of the building.
This fact alone will give aid to many
people now unemployed. 1t is just such
methods OF investing money at home
that will best build up our glorious city.
and we should all welcome such COM
mendable enterprises.

TO LABOR WITH DIR. HOGE.
Engagement of Rev. MIR. Guthrie as
Assistant to he Announced To-Day.

Assisfunt TO lie announced To-day.
DR.. Hoges appointment of Rev. Donald
Guthrie as his assistant In the pastorate
Of the Second Presbyterian church for the
ensuing three months, as announced ex-
clusively in yesterdays Dispatch, is re-
garded with pleasure and appreciation by
the Doctors devoted congregation.
Rev. Mr.. Guthrie Is the son Of Donald
Guthrie. Queens Counsel. Guelp, Ontario.
and is 26 years Of age. He was educated
at McGilrs University, at Montreal, and
graduated in 1892. He then entered the
Presbyterian University at Montreal, or
which Or. MacVicar, an uncle Of Mr..
Guthrie, is principal. In 1894 he graduated
and his first regular charge was with the
late ]. A. Maury. Of London, Canada, and
next he assisted Rev. DIR. Mcdonald, OF
Seaforth, Canada. In the latter part OF
1894 he was called to Walkerton, OF which
church he is now pastor.
Mr. Guthrie in 1894 married Miss Jeanne
Stirton, Of Guelp, and they have two chill
dren, q boy and a girl. The continued
poor health of Mrs. Guthrie brought them
10 the South and Richmond. Already,
though her sojourn here is but of few
weeks, her health IL much improved, and
II Is earnestly believed that in a little
while she will be fully restored. Mr..
Guthrie came from Walkerton on a leave
OF absence that he and Mrs. Guthrie might
find climate that would benefit the lat
ter's health. The two children were left
with Mr. Guthrie's mother. II Is easy TO
think. Judging from the impression he
has made here in so short a time. that
his people at Walkerton would be very
10th to give him up should they be called
upon to do so.
