The Independent has elected some EXPIRES
sions Of opinions from thoughtful men on
the subject of college athletics, their use and
abuse. Bishop Huntington believes that no
harm call come from moderate gymnastic
practice under a professor, but that matched
games with their enforced preliminary train
ing, are a distraction from the pursuit OF
scholarship. Rev. DIR. Howard Crosby SAYS:
"The moment you have rival clubs in differ
ent colleges to contend for mastery, you
have business and not play, and a business
wholly antagonistic to college business"
Rev. DR.. John Hall thinks the chief end of
colleges is not in the direction of athletic
proves. Rev. DR.. Newman Smith surmises
that the disappearance of the worst forms of
hazing is, in part, an effect of the increased
interest in athletics.
Bishop Clark believes it to be well that
college students become athletic, although
they are not sont to college to become ath-
letes. Rev. DR.. Cuyler declares that: "Un-
less this furore is reduced within proper
limits, the good old maxim will be reversed,
and the result will be 'insana mems without
even the 'corpore sano.'" Rev. DR.. George
II. Hepworth holds that if there would be no
rowing without races, then races should not
be abolished. Bishop Potter believes it is
time for college authorities to interfere, in
order that the chief aim of college life may
be maintained. President Patton appeals
simply for moderation, as does Bishop Coke,
and Rev. Mr.. Vundyke draws the line at
making college sports n business, believing in
the value of recreation.

All Wong, the ex-editor Of The Chinese
American, is an odd fish. He is one of the
most intelligent Cinnamon l ever met, and
when lie speaks his easy flow of language has
the accompaniment of tso sparkling eyes,
full of intellectual fire. We were talking the
other day of hotels.
"The finest thing in America, as it struck
me- said he, sis the hotels. You don't know
how it seems to a Chinalnan, no matter how
reared at home, to live in a hotel where he
can actually sleep and eat comfortably"
"Are there no good hotels in China, thenP'
inquired somebody.
"Oh, yes" replied Wong. "But they nave
no beds. Every traveller there has to bring
his bedding with him, and it makes n big,
clumsy outfit. Even in the Imperial hotel,
at Pekin, they don't furnish beds-only the
place for you to put your quilts and pillows
and mattresses on"
Are there any hotel deadbeats in China7'
"No, sir. The man who hasn't got a bed
can't get in the hotel, and the man who has
a bed can't get away by the window or the
front doorway without being seen. They
can't play the runk-screwed-to-the-hoo trick
on the landlords in China"

An Austrian dealer in wild animals, writ
ing from kassala to friends in Vienna, gives
some information about the mehdi, whom he
knows personally, and with whom he has
frequently transacted business, the mehdi
himself having for years past dealt in wild
beasts for the different geological gardens.
He is described by the writer as a very cum.
ming impostor, and, as an instance, it is re-
lnted that a short time g he appeared with
a number of warts on his right cheek, these
having been artiicially produced with the
aid of a German called Schandorper, form
erly n clown and afterwnrd q hair dresser,
now in the service of the mehdi. The reason
was that the legends about the expected
mehdi speak of him as having such marks.
Like the beasts he formerly dealt in, tina
mehdi sleeps during the day and traD4.cti

What a beautiful bridge between
old age and childhood is religion.
How intutively the child begins
with prayer and worship on entering
life, and how intutiyely, on quitting
life, the old man turns back to pray
er and worship, putting himself
again side by side with the infant"
remarks Sir E, Bulwer Lytton, in
his 'Strange Story
ayes, but between its distant
abutments the bridge of life has
many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash
and roar in wrath and desolation.
Prayer and worship alone do not
sustain these. Natures solid rocks
must lie mistaken beneath, and hn-
man art and skill must rear and
sohdify the structure overhead.
Coos Will is best exemplified in the
laws He has made for the creatures
whom He has placed under their

Work on the Exposition Building.

The Exposition has taken anoth-
er step forward in the beginning of
actual work on the main building.
This was commenced Saturday, and
during the coming week considera-
bic work will be done here. In
the meanwhile all the other details
are being carried rapidly on to conf
pletion. The roads are being con-
structed, the bitches, lakes, etc.
dug; the material transported to-
the grounds, and all preliminaries
are being arranged SO that the act
ual work of construction can be car
ried on with the greatest rapidity
and without any possibility of inter-
ruption. 1T is this fact that will
enable the buildings to be construc~
ted in the very shortest possible pc
riod-for everything will be in read
ness, and there will be always ma
terial enough on hand for months Of
work ahead.
Such bids as have come in for
supplying the materials advertised
for are most gratifying, as they
show that we have the whole coun~
try to call on. Thus, bids to sup
ply the sashes for the main building
come from no less than fourteen diff
ferent States, North, East, South
and West, and include the largest
firms engaged in this business in
the country. With such offers We
can rest confidently assured that we
can always get such materials as
we desire Times-Democrat.

president Of the faculty. Of the south.
efn Presbyterian Theological semi-
nary, located in this city, and who nils
the Perkins professionally Of natural
science IN connection with revelation,
curing the past summer delivered au
address before the alumni association
OF the seminary, In which he startled
MS hearers BY pr0claiming that
Adam was not an immediate ere.
alton, but was evolved from the lower
animals. The board OF directors Of the
seminary have Just concluded two.
days session, In which they discussed
Pfot WoodUw's theory OF evolution
IN an exhaustive manner. Papers
were introduced indorsing the learned
professors views, and others enjoining
MIN TO cease teaching that evolution is
Sou's plan W creation, and that the
body OF Adam was probably evolved
from beast, but all OF them were
voted down aud the following resolu.
ton was adopted by u vote OF toS;
THAT the board Is not prepared TO
Soncer In the views expressed by DIR.
woodrow ~ TO the proha 10 method Of
tue creation OF Adams body, but vet
Ia the Judgment OF the board there Is
nothing In the doctrine OF evolution az
defined and limited by him that an.
pears inconsistent with the perfect
soundness of faith,n
The minority entered the following
protest:
Evolution is an improved hypothe.
sis, ana the seminary Is not place for
such teachings. The theory that
Adams body wae formed by the nat
ural law OF evolution, while Ewes was
created by a supernatural act OF God,
Is contrary TO our confession of faith
Toe advocacy of viewe which have re-
ceived neither the Endorsement OF the
board nor that OF the aynOds having
control OF the seminary, which have
not been established by science, which
have no authority nom the word of
God, which lead 10 unsettle
the received Interpretation Of
many passages Of scripture
and 10 destroy the confidence OF the
church In her dootrlnal standards,
which have already produced 10 much
evil and which will injure the semin.
airy ana may rend our church, ought
not 20 be allowed.n
This matter will loo carried before the
four synods controlling the seminary
aud be adjusted by them. These are
the synods Of South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Florida. In the mean.
time Prot. Woodrow win continue 70
teach the seminarIans that Adam was
evolved from lower animRls.
