DR.. STRANGE'S SUCCESSOR.
THE REV. Mr.. HOGUE PREACHED AT ST.
JAMES ON SUNDAY.
on Faith-He Is a Splendid Reader and
the Church was Delighted with Him.
The Desire Is Unanimous that He
will Come to Wilmington.

There was a large congregation at
1.-THE IL O'Clock service at st. James Epis-
lc6pal church on Sunday to hear the
REV. Richard w. Hogue, Of Sheffield,
Ala, who has been called by the church
as rector to succeed the Rev. Robert
Strange. D. D., who yer to Richmond.
Mr.. Hogue is as magnetic as a
preacher as he is personally, and at
the very beginning of the service he
made a deep impression upon the CON
by his ability as a reader.
He has a rich, well modulated voice,
the articulation and emphasis
which he employs in the reading SER
vices, won the admiration of his hear
|ers.
He preacehd a sermon on Faith. 1t
was not a long discourse but it was
beautiful in diction and strong in it's
1t was an able and at the
time a happy presentation of the
subject, and the congregation was sim
ply delighted with the discourse and
its deliverer. Fol- perspicuity n con-
|vincing power, Mr.. Hogue's sermon
was a gem, and all who heard him pay
him the finest compliments.
He conducted the evening prayer at
St. James at 5 o'clock and on Sunday
night he officiated and preached another
splendid sermon at the Chapel of the
Good Shepard, which is under the aus
'pices of ST. James. A large congrega-
'tion heard him and it but Increased
the admiration for the gifted and able
young minister. All the p~arishioners
are pleased with him and the desire is
unanimous hat he will accept their
call.
DR.. and Mrs. Hogue will remain in
Wilmington until Thursday when they
will return to Sheffield. He will then
doubtless give his answer to st. James.
Tonight the Parish of st. James will
give him a reception at the parish
house. 1t will begin at s o'clock, and
the p~arishioners and their friends are
invited to call and meet him and his

Death of DIR. Robbins


On Saturday evening last DR.. A. II.
Robbins departed this life at the resi-
dence of his son-in-law, Mr.. Newton
Alderman, SOC North Sixth street.
DIR. Robbins was born in Northwest
township, Brunswick county, and there
he resided and practiced his profession
until his declining health compelled
him to give up his practice. He then
came to Wilmington to spend his days
with his children. =
The deceased read medicine under the
late DR.. James Dickson along with DR..
w. ]. Love and the late DR.. Thomas
F. Wood. He subsequently, attended
lectures at the Charleston Medical COL
lege, which turned out so many sue
cessful and eminent physicians
throughout the south. He became a
skillful physician, and had the esteem
and confidence Of all who knew him.
He was a man of unusual strength of
character, was a kind, indulgent hus-
band and father, was a true friend and
a good neighbor, and was full of kind
ness and b~enevOlence. However dark
and stormy the night, however rough
and long and dreary the road, he cheer
fully responded to the calls of humani-
ty, after knowing before he started out
that he would get no earthly reward for
his services. He was full of tenderness
and sympathy and surely was a great
beneft to the people among whom he
spent uch a useful, self-sacrificing
life. Many a one will miss his kind
ministrations, and be touched with sor-
row that he has passed from among
them. He was a ~Steadfast Christian
gentleman, and for years was a consis-
tent and faithful member of the Bap-
fist church. With patience and forti-
tude he bore up under the Affections
that came upon him i'm his declining
years Inc passed to his reward after
having been faithful in the discharge
of his duty and true to every trust i'm
posed upon him in the sphere in which
he moved.
DR.. Ribbins had reached his three
score years and ten, and he leaves be-
hind him five children and many rela-
tives and friends to. mourn his loss.
His children are Mrs. Newton Alder
a Mrs. Daniel Stevens, and Messrs.
Aelx. Harry n Malcolm Robbins, all
of Wilmington, and to whom goes out
the sympathy OF all who know them
and their loss.
The remains were laid to rest OF
Sunday afternoon at the family bury

wick county. Peace to his ashes.

It is very fortunate that the East

student. was not present at the col
lege commencement In disgrace she
was taken by her father to her home

the girl is kleptomaniac and morally
irresponsible University authorities
and civil officers took this charitable
view of the case, and there will be no
prosecution. In trunk in the girls

missing articles of wearing apparel
and books, which she admitted steal

at Toronto, Ont, by jumping from the
