 bury.
 v At St. Paul's Episcopal church yes- terday morning Rev. Francis T. Rus sell, D. D., for many years past at the head of St. Margarets school in Wa terbury, preached from the text Cor. xiii, 3: Though bestow all my goods ito feed the poor, and though give my body to be burned, and have not chari- ity, it profiteth me nothing." Dr. Rus sell after speaking of the characteris- tics and significance of the Lenten sea- son, said in part:
 If we have the charity in our hearts then are we partakers of the divine mature for God is love. So far are we God-like. If we can rightly persuade ourselves that God dwelleth in us through his own attribute even if there be a spark of that divine light we are encouraged to proceed But also for us if that light be darkness, if in place of the high and mighty God we have enthroned in our hearts some god of the world: Mammon, lust, selfish fness, pride and all the hateful retinue of evil. But let us reverently hope that we do not willingly or unwillingly emp ty our hearts of Gods presence, for know ye not that God dwelleth in you except ye be reprobates. And this prin- ciple within us is active. It cannot live there without exercise. It has it's manifestations towards God in our faith and truth and honor and prayer and His true service, and towards men in that comprehensive summary of the law, Thou shalt love they neighbor as thvself' !"

That praises are without reason lavish

idol.
In Richmond the celebration Of the an
niversary Of his birth was marked by
an unusual number OF festivities. which
did not, however, interfere with the
wheels of commerce. which went grinding
on. This fact was due largely to the adj

would have been different tale to tell.

the noon hour the post-ofice was closed
for the day. In the City Hall the court
clerks industriously sat In their Offices.
Banks. freight depots. and offices OF seve-
raj large corporations were closed. but
the exigencies of the times forced the
storekeepers to Eemain on the alert for
trade. At the Soldiers Home a national
salute was fred by the home battery,
and rousing cheers were given for the
old commander.

Forest Fire. In the south.


The forest-fres now raging IN North
Carolina and Georgia should be a warn
ing TO the people Of the South that that
section cannot claim exemption from this
destructive agent. In North Carolina
whole forests are said 10 have been de-
stroyed by fire during the past week. an
area OF fine timber eighcy miles in length
having been swept away. In Georgia
while the hres are not so extensive
great damage has been done. The South
ern States have not figured largely 20
forest-fires in the past partly because
the country is sparsely settled. and pari-
~ because the agencies have not been
present TO produce fires. But with me
increase in population and the growth in
the number OF mills. factories. and rail-
roads, this exemption cannot be expect.i
TO continue. The South has now the

Prisons yesterday met and again con-
sidered the bill TO incorporate the Vir-
ginia Sugar Refining Company. After
hearing some argument the committee
went into executive session and decided
TO report the bill with the amendment
that the Governor. upon the advice OF the
superintendent of the. Penitentary. may
assign a hundred able-bodied men and
boys from the penitentiary to the COM
pany.
This amendment If it remains in the
BILL practically kills the measure.
To Abolish Examiners.
The three companion measures Of Sena-
tor Flanagan. now pending are claimed
by him TO be upon a proper line of re-
trenchment and reform. He claims that
they will, If passed, save many thousand
dollars to the State Treasury. The first
of the set abolshes the office Of Examiner
Of Records, created by the act Of March,
4, 1895, and the second imposes a penalty
upon the clerks of courts who fail to dis
charge the duties of this officer as they
really are now required to do. He re-
CARDS the Examiner as a fifth wheel"
and insists that if the law as it was prior
to 1885, be executed, the new office Is
useless. The penalty now proposed is in
tthued 10 insure a performance or the
clerks duty. The third measure requires
that the courts having charge of funds
shall see that all proper taxes thereon
have been paid before they are disbursed
or put beyond their control.

The Senators and Delegates from the
Eastern Shore will hold a conference
today for the purpose of agreeing upon
