sermons are often meant to be kindly
little ones" Perhaps you think when L
preach it is like fool jumping up and
shaking his cap so that the bells ring
and the jangle draws the crowd. But
sometimes the FOOLS sermon is a good
one. And the sermon which is deduced
from the talk of three women about
other women has ended with the old
text for in this case the text comes
after the sermon, Honor thy father
and thy mother" though what the
preacher wants to emphasize is, Honor
thy mother" She suffered for you, she
loves you, and she knows you, her wo-
man child, as nobody else in the world
does. There are a good many things
that deserve to receive honor that don't
get it.
If you give honor and eoliteness to
your children, they will give you honor
and respect in return.
If you are polite to the traveller on sea
or land, you will get respect and con-
sideration in return.
If you are polite and considerable to
those you employ, you will get honor

LENGTHY COMMoN-LAw SUIT.
The Blankership Case, Concluded
Yesterday, Lasted for six Years.


About six years ago little Charlie Blank
enship, then 10 years OF age, was run
over and severely injured by an engine
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany at the Second-Street yard Of the
company, which is also used by the pub
lie as thoroughfare. Suit was instituted
against the company. Judge Edmund
Waddill, Jr., and George j. Hooper being
engaged as plaintiffs counsel. In due
time the case was tried in the Circuit
Court OF Richmond, but resulted in a
hung jury. The Circuit Court then oc-
cupied rooms opposite the post-ohice on
Main street. A new trial being held, a
verdict was rendered for the defendant
company, under the instructions of Judge
Wexford, from which verdict the plain
tiff, by his counsel-Judge Waddill, Mr..
Hooper. and Judge Lewis, who had been
associated i'm the case-appealed TO the
Supreme Court OF Appeals, and last year
this court reversed Judge Wexford and
ordered a new trial of the case.
Accordingly, the trial began last We'd
nesday and continued until yesterday
evening, when the jury, after remaining
out only a short while, rendered a YER
diet for the plaintiff in the sum of $500.
Messrs. H. L. Wickham and Henry Tay-
lor represented the company in the case,
which was bitterly fought TO the end.
During the progress of the case the plain
tiff has grown from mere lad of 10 to
d youth Of 16. The time consumed in
the various trials Of this case from its
institution to its elimination last night is
remarkable. Scarcely, IL ever, does a
common-law suit stand in the courts so
long. and feldom, indeed is 1t that 1t
takes three trials to decide a suit of this
character.
