STOPS THE SERMON.
Woman Champion Whist Player De-
nounces Card Playing.

Chicago, Jan. "A dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Des Moines, Ia,
says:
Before a congregation of nearly a
thousand persons, and while the
preacher was in the midst of his ser
mon, Mrs. A. B. Sims, a society woman
whist championship, arose in the Uni
versity Church of Christ and de-
nounced card playing as a sin.
Two years ago Mrs. Sims won the
first prize for women in the whist
tournament held at Cleveland. Last
year at St. Louis she won the national
woman's championship.
1t is said that recent evangelical
meetings held in the city are respon-
sible for the change in Mrs. Sims
ideas.

mend A. A. Phaup for Taking
Prompt Action.
Special to The Times Dispatch.)

CHESTERFIELD, VA, January T.
The Chesterfield supervisors to-day held
a called meeting at the courthouse, for
the purpose Of confirming the action of
A. A. Phaup, county superintendent OF
roads, In receiving from the State pen!-
Tertiary twelve convicts. in addition to
his original force, and employing them
on the public road work; and also to
provide for the security of the new men
and authorize the purchase Of extra
teams for their use. The supervisors have
for some time been arranging to increase
their convict force, having had a second
steel portable cage constructed recently
for their confinement when unemployed.
The cage, however, is not yet available,
owing to some delay in securing all iron
truck on which to mount it, and Supcrir-
tendent Phaup was embarrassed a few
days before Christmas by being informed
by the superintendent of the State peni-
Tertiary that a force of ten extra con-
victs could be furnished him at once,
