BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED.
Friends of DIR. Power DeluGe Him
With Written Congratulations.

DIR r ID. Power pastor of the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church in this city,
reached another of the anniversaries of his
birthday yesterday, January D. and the
day was made significant to him in a man
ner somewhat unique, that of flooding him
with letters from the members of his con-
gregation. To all these congratulations
and expressions of regard DR.. Power was
a stranger until the mail began to bring
in the hundreds of missves. He then be-
gan to realize that when ladies plan a
vigorous campaign their work is usually
successful In this instance, at least, they
were successful in keeping their own coun-
sells, evens though their operations involved
the participation of half a thousand per-
sons, all of whom were pledged to observe
profound secrecy until the fullness of time
had arrived.
Dr. Power is one of the oldest and most
respected of the pastors in this city. For
about a quarter of century he has been in
charge of the congregation mentioned, and
always with complete acceptance.
From one of the numerous letters he re-
ceived, which was written by Mr.. j. Praise
Richards, the following extracts are taken
MY Dear Bro. Power: The I'D instant, l
am informed, marks the date of your next
birthday Such being the case, permit me
to congratulate you on your having reached
successfully so many milestones in the
journey of life, and to express the earnest
hope that double the number may be pass
ed and still it may be said of you, as of
Israers great leader, his eye is not dim,
nor his natural force abated.'
Nothing in the foregoing paragraph is
| to be construed in such manner as to leave
the impression that you are an aged man.
Life is not measured by the earths revolu-
| lions about the sun, nor its rotations upon
it's axis.
LAS the years roll by we are all inn
pressed the more keenly with the sisnifi-
| canoe of those figures of speech by which
| life is represented. Time is the great
ocean on which the individual existence is
| launched as a frail bark
| ''On this. my own birthday anniversary,
| / congratulate you on your choice of Janu-
| airy as birth month. I feel pride in the
month for several reasons. Among these

Death of b. Prince.

Bluefeld, w. Va. March 1I.--Yes.
terday morning n telegram was
received by Hon. Ash Nj. Prince
announcing The death of his brother,
Burk Prince, one of our most prom
lnent citizens, at Radford, Va,
where he had gone on business. No
particulars we're given, and it was
not until train 10 came in that any
particulars were obtainable. Friends
locked TO the train to get the news
OF the sad affair, eyincing by word
and act the deep Interest they felt,
for MIR. Prince was popular citizen.
Mr.. Prince was wealthy and
public spirited citizen until the
decline in values embarrassed him
seriously, causing great sacrifice of
property. Financial embarrassment
added to long continued ill health,
had weighed heavily upon Mr.. Prince
and his mental condition was asource
OF anxiety to his friends. They did
not look for -uch fit of madness to
seize him, however, that he would
take his life. 1t appears that he shot
himself in the right temple. In his
mental condition he could hardly
have been responsible. MIR. Prince
was man of character and sterling
worth, and his memory should be
cherished for what he was when in
health ard mental vigor.
He was surrounded by bright
and loving family, and his home
life was as happy as one could desire

HARRISON & GILLESPIE BROS,
An IncidentWorth remembering.

Dnring the recent fearful blizzard,
the good people Of Charlottesville
did what they could to look out for
and supply the suffering poor.
Among the most active and sufficient.
helpers in the good work were fifty
students of the University of Vir
ginia, who not only gave freely OF
their money and time, but faced the
fearful storm and toiled thro ugh
heavy snow;drifts in order to visit
the homes of ne9ios as we'll as those
of white people, to ascertain their
whants and supply them. And when
transportation could not be had.
they would shoulder bags of coal,
turns of woodland baskets of pro
visions, and lug them through the
binding blizzard to the homes of the
destitute. One of the students, after
carrying the wood, cut and split it,
and made the fires for the shivering
inmates Of an humble home,
Our grand old University has
many and great claims upon our
people, and. this noble. practical
charity on the part of these students
will add fresh interests to it and it's
work.-ReligiOus Herald.
