TIE ATKINS PORTRAIT.

Judge Atkins was Republican Judge
who largely helped to tide us over a,
stormy period of municipal life. He was
born in England, and for a short time
found employment here as an actor
meanwhile learning to be an architects
craftsman. Then he became deputy clerk
in a court; then full clerk; then United
trusted a great amount of important bust
ness.
The Hon. George L. Christian. who was
judge Of the Hastings Court when the
Nahonites came into power. was too
staurch and -uncompromising a Demo-
crat to suit them, and they decreed that
he must so. II
Of all the men mentioned to succeed
Judge Christian. Tom Atkins was most
acceptable in this city. and it was a sub
iect of popular rejoicing under the cir
cumstances that he got the place. He
made a good judge. He was practical,
sensible. honest. and conservative. 1t
fell to his lot to preside in the trial of
Thomas Judson Cluvcrius for the murder
of his cousin. Fannie Lillian Madison, III
1855 lie passed through that severe or!
deal with great honor to himself. Indeed
his whole judicial career was highly crea
ditable to him and satisfactory to the
people. Upon the return of the Demo-
Gratis to power, as a matter of course, he
was displaced, Judge Witt succeeded
him.

ton to the Hastings Court yesterday of

dead some years-recaIls hin, to our mem
cry and inspires us to say what we have
said-that lie was q worthy and efficient
judge and that he successfully .piloted,

period of its history. Y

In this great world Of care.
And that the road to heaven is paved
With Jewels rich and rare.

To fight our battles alone.
And that His heart ne'er yet forgot
To aid the struggling one.
I thank Him morn. and noon and night
And every moment. too.
For He it is who gives us light
And makes our souls anew.
I thank Him that He calls me son
And bids me to obey
The precepts of that holy One
Who pleads my cause to-day.

Yesterday was a busy day for the noted

gave his opinion In each. Professor
Lorenz refused to remain in ST. Louis
longer for any consideration. John Kear-
ney, editor OF the Modern Miller, called
upon him at the Planters Hotel and in
the name of a wealthy citizen asked DR..
Lorenz to remain In the city a few days
longer to treat poor children. but he re-
fused.
When Mr.. Kearney said the amount OF
money which could be raised to keep him
here was indefinite. and that the doctor
had only to name his own price, Mr..
Muller said DR.. Lorenz would not remain
any longer if he were offered 100000.

The Legislature and Liquor Licenses
{NorfOl, Dispatch.)

Norfolk Dispatch)
There is a strong probability that
there is to be legislation at this session
OF the General Assembly regarding the
granting of liquor licenses. The agita-
ton has already commenced. but its
scope is yet to be determined. At the
present time it is impossible to forecast
what action the Legislature may take in
the matter
The present local-option law in Viz
gina allows the voters of each commu-
nifty to decide for themselves whether or
not licenses shall or shall not be granted
in the respective localities.
It is now proposed. however, to limit
the saloons to one for each 500 OF popu-
lation. This is step in the right direc-
ton.
The legislation, however, affecting the
granting of liquor licenses should go
even further. Every one making appi-
cation to sell liquor should be required
to give bond guaranteeing that the
business will be conducted according to
law. There should be no evasion about
this matter. An iron-clad agreement
should be, made whereby the holder of
license should forfeit both the bond and
privilege of conducting his business as
soon IS it was shown that either the city
or State regulations had been in the least
violated.
It should also tie provided that no
liquor license Should be granted in sec
lions of a city that is noted for it's dis.
orderly conduct and questionable sur
roundings This would eliminate those
brawls and frequent tragedies in the un-
desirable sections.

!, nal spelling Of his surname
The Mall and Express writer does not
give his authority for. the foregoing state
ment. but 1t is interesting ana possibly
may be the true explanation Of the nick
| name Darby of some OF the people In IT
| GINA whose real name is Enroughty.
The spelling Enroughty has never oeen
.spronounced'' Darby, SO far as we know.
/. but there are a number Of persons In this
| city and in Henrico county named En-
roughly. who are never called anything
| out Enrougilty and there are many by
the name Of Enroughty who are called
| or nicknamcd Darby.
| The writer OF the paragraph quoted says
| the Enroughty who was nicknamed Darby
| e7,iGratcd to Virginia soon after the death
Of Cromwell. The, records of Henrico
county show that as early as 1918 one
! Darby Enroughty was the grantee in a
deed conveying real estate, and in depo-
| sition which he gave a few years later,
he states that he had been in the colony
| about twenty years.
This Darby Enroughty left three sons,
Darby Enroughty, Jr., "his son and heir, ("
| Edward Enroughty and John Enroughty.
Darby Enroughty and Edward Enroughr,
each had son named Johh.
Thus there were two persons III
the same neighborhood bearing the
name John Enroughty. The John who
was the son of Edward was called JOHN
Enroughty, and John Enroughty, the son
Of Darby Enroughty. was called John
Enroughty (son of Darby)", John En-
roughly, (of Darby)," and in at least one
Instance in the records it is written John
EEnroughty Darby"
These names may be found in the rec
lords OF Henrico county to distinguish the
two men bea ring the same name. It would
not have been surprising, therefore, II
neighbors and acouaintances, in speaking
of them. should have eliminated the words
"Enroughty son Of with reference to one
of them and called one John Enroughty
and the other plain John Darby. In the
course Of a few years this nickname would
firmly attach to John, the son of Darby,
ihy the same name, Darby. although their
bright names would be Encoughty, while
the other branch of the family would con.
tinue to be called Enroughty.
