Me*, Jobson in tin- llclin.
Mrs. J. Tyler jobson, president of
the Bl-County Union, occupied a seat
j immediately to the left of the fair
young contestants, and filled the roh
I of charge d'affaires with much gru
• iousness and ease of mariner. When
the judges retired to pit k the winner,
she eulle do pun Rev Hr. IJ. V. Mac
lachlan. pastor of Seventh Street
Christian church, to I-.: I time," and
it is needless to say that he acquitted
himself well,
I *r. Mm lachlan amusid his audience
Immensely when he said that the
chicken was the most religious ldrd
in the world, because it entered the
ministry most frequently. He also
won applause when ho declared that
the penny was the most religious coin,
because it went to church oftener than
any other coin.
Hollar lilll Claimed.
As the audience was dispersing, lfr.
Maclachlan again proved himself
equal to the emergen. > when he pick
ed up a dollar bill in a p, vv near tin
pulpit and raising it abox,- his head
asked if any one had dropped the bill
accidentally in an effort to get it into
the contribution plan There was' no
response for a few moments. Finally,
however, a young man came forward
blushingh and claimed the bill, pock
eting it without further ceremony, af
ter thanking the minister for find
ing it.
"Evidently that -money was not in
tended for the plate." remarked Hr.
Maolachlan. as the young man hastily
! departed from the . hureh.
When the contributions for the eve
ning had been summed up it was
found thal exm-i. c $3.11! had horn
dropped into the plate. This w as J J 0
less than the nn-si of the gold medal
and pins, and as Mrs Jobson explain
ed It. would be up to the Bi-County
Union to stand for the difference.
Those* Who I’icUed Winner.
Judges of th, contest were Rev.
] John J. Fix, pastor of First Presby
terian church. Washington Ward.
Rev. Robert It R .avden, pastor of

Mrs Jobson was paid a high com
pliment by 1 >r. Maclachlan for the
great work her union is accomplish
ing under her clew r management and
direction.
"Richmond," sai l the minister, "has
! perhaps less temperance sentiment in
its churches than my other city of
its size in the • mtry, and 1 must
admit that most of the se ntiment that
does exist is a dirt i result of the work,
which the women -ire pushing tot
\ ward."
i Mrs. Jobson acknowledged he cotn
i pliment on behalf of her sex. and
j thanked Ur. Maclachlan for honoring
the occasion with Ills presence. .

indignation was expressed among
members of the Richmond tsar on
Tuesday user the defeat of the senate
Still In the House of Representatives
which was intended to create an ad

United States circuit.
It was pronounced an outrage by
more than one attorney. This Is the
only circuit in tho I'ntted States which
has only two Judges," declared one
wrought up lawyer. "All of the others
have three," said he.
For the past eighteen months this
subject has deeply interested all mem

Maryland, North and South Carolina.
1-Taetically all of the legal organiza

of Norfolk and Portsmouth endorsed
Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., of the
I'ntted Statt s district court of Eastern
Virginia lor the Judgeship. It was
generally conceded that Judge Wad
dll! would be the recipient ot the new
go , i iiito at plum, there • being no
thought of the ultimate deteat of the
measure. The bar of Norfolk en
dorsed Judge R. U. PrentUs. but not
until after a spirited contest over
Waddill. Many attorneys of the Tide
water section personally urged tnu
selection ui Judge Waddill.
it being taken for granted that
Judge Waddill would receive the
nomination there were many candi
dates in the field to succeed him
Henry W. Anderson, well-known at
torney of Richmond; George Nelni
Wise, of Newport News, and Floyd
Hughes, collector of customs at Nor
folk. were spoken of as the most for
midable aspirants.
So when it was learned Tuesday
morning that after a lively debate the
house kiljed the bill by a vote of iMi
to MU it created a.email uproar
Congressman Webb, of North Caro

hands of local attorneys. It is denied
that the work of this circuit Is fall
