Using locomotive engines rapid transit
lines in Brooklyn has been abandoned at last
New-York has been wonderfully slow in COM

abandoning motive power of this kind. and
streetcars drawn by horses may still be seen in
small numbers in Park Row But the day must
come speedily when they will disappear entirely.
In article by Richard Olney to appear in
THE Harvard Democrat the statement is made
that the Democratic party, among other things,
stands for running amuCk against all viola
tors of law, and not merely for the prosecution
"of particular offenders selected for that purpose
"by the administration for purposes of its own"
When it is remembered that Mr.. Olney, as At
torney General in Mr. Cleveland's second ad-
ministre tion studiously refrained from prose-
cutting any of the violators against whom he
now says the Democracy proposes to run amuck.
it is gratifying to know that Mr.. Olney has had
his views TO the possibilities of the Attorney
Generalship very much enlarged since a Re
publican Attorney General demonstrated that
the legal department of the administration is
something more than the fgurehead it was when
Richard Olney was at it's head.

have not the means wherewith TO
do so, who are going to school and

CHARLES Il. SMITH.

At meeting of the NcStry of
Grace Church. Berryvillc. the un-
dersigned were appointed COM
mlttee to prepare a memorial to
the late Charles III. Smith. who
was member of that body.
The NestrY of Grace Church Is
again called upon to lament the
death of one of its members.
Charles ii. Smith was a native of
Berryville and resided in Clarke
County all his life, except short
period spent i'm Baltimore. Early
in life he engaged in the mcrcan-
tile business in Bcrryvillc, which
he continued until 1860, when he
purchased farm near that place.
and retired from the business of a
merchant. At the beginning of
the war between the States. ne be-
came a member of the Clarke Cav
airy. afterwards known Is Com
panY ID. 9th Va. which command
rendered efficient and distinguished
services TO the Confederate cause:
and he served As a private and ser
geant until the surrender. In
1869, having sold his farm. he be-
came a member OF the firm of
Greenway and Co.. I'm Baltimore.
where he remained for some time.
and then withdrew from that bust
ness. Returning To Berryville he
there engaged in business aS a
grain and commission merchant:
i'm 1891. he associated Samuel Me
Cormick whith him rs a partner.
and i'm 1898 Mr.. Mccormick re-
tired from the firm. and II. W.
Baker became 4 member of il. and
that firm, by the name of Smith
and Baker, continued until about
a year before Mr.. Smiths death,
when ne was compelled by i'll health
to retire from business.
Mr.. Smith for many years was
regular communicant of Grace
Church, and for a considerable
part of the time served a. mem
ber of the Nestry. As 4 citizen,
a man of business. soldier, 4
Christian and n veStryman. he com
manded the respect and confidence
of his fellow men. and we trust
that he has received the reward oi
we'll spent life. This memorial
will be entered on the records OF
the Vestry; and u copy thereof
sent to the family of the deceased
and the Editors of the CLARKE
COURIER, and the Southern Church
man are requested to publish the
| same.
