Rev. Darlington Is ono among the
great pastors of this city and yet he
is not heard Of by publication in the
newspapers, but his work is known
In the city by the people. He Is one
of the 1909 graduates OF Clayton
Williams University, Of Baltimore,
Md. and 1t is known in Richmond
that he Is on the hill for he Is a gospel
preacher and pastor.
Three years ago when he took
charge Of Trinity Church, 1t was in
the mind OF large number OF the
pastors that he would not be able to
hold the church. There were only
81 members to be found on the books
and not half Of them could be found
In the church, but the membership
has grown to nearly 800, and the
people who crowd there are not able
to get in.
They are erecting a building with
seating capacity Of approximately
700. The building will be al bv 81
feet and of stucco finish. This is q
great work for the church and pastor
and Richmond Is proud OF such
man. The building will DO completed
by the first Of January, 1918, which
means much to the denomination.

 Four hundred Mexican women, led by redhaired girl, started to cross the international bridge to go to their places of employment They were barred by health officers acting under q new =quaratine rule, which provides that all persons without military passes must take a disinfectant bath of vinegar and gasoline before enter ing IT Paso.
 The women vigorously refused to submit to the baths They attempted 10 push their way past the health of feers and bridge guards but were driven back Suddenly they turned their fury to a street car, crossing the bridge The forces of the women were augmented quickly by other women and children and later many men.
 Four street cars in Juarez and on the bridge were attacked The motor men and conductors were dragged from the cars and beaten. The cars were wrecked and burned
 4 United States mail wagon which was crossing the bridge was also wrecked by the mob The driver was beaten.
 In the midst of the rioting the Mexi- can authorities issued orders direct ing that no Americans should be per mitted to enter or leave Juarez.
 For hours thousands of Mexicans gathered at the Juarez end of the in- ternational bridge shouting maledic- tions at Americans and the United States troops on this side
