Rev. DR.. Strlder's Election.

The following note from Rev. j. P.
Strider, D. D., we give place to, with
pleasure:
Editor of Vindicotor
SIR:-In your courteous notice in last
weeks INDICATOR of my election to
chair in w. Il L. University, there is
passing reference to the visit of Prof.
White to my home few weeks ago. That
reference conveys the impression that he
came for the purpose of seeking some in
timation of my willingness to entertain
in advance the proposition subsequently
made by the Board of Trustees of the In
stitution of which Prof. W. is an honOred
instructor.
Allow me in simple Justice to say that
such was not the case. The visit was
merely one of friendship. Neither in inten-
ton nor in fact was any reference made
to the subsequent meeting of the Board
Or the election of professor to the chair
Of Moral Philosophy. Prof. White never
heard my name mentioned in connection
with the chair until the announcement of
the election after the Board had adjourn
ed.
AS the paragraph in the VINDICAToR
was, perhaps. only in pleasantly, and. as
1 am sure, at least no Misrepresentation
was intended, 1 beg that you will be so
kind Mr.. Editor, as to give word OF ex-
PLANTATION in your issue of this week.
Very truly yours,
j. P. STRIDER.
Stanton, Va, Sept, 8.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. - Word
has been received here from Washing

At rHEI7CEUM FRTDAY NIGHT.

The program presented by this society
was In most particulars highly cultured
and artistic. The music was unusually
acceptable, but In spite Of repeated en-
cores the musical Esculapians declined
to appear . second time. A duet, rem
dered by Prof. Kelly and Miss Edith
Miller, was q fortunate selection.
The voices, the sentiment, the
music. the performers-all. 80 the critic
said. appeared to be IN perfect accord
with one another. Select readings were
given by Miss Kate Duff and Mas
Anna CARL. While good disclaimers are
becoming more or less common In the
province Of entertainment, good or even
fair readers are remarkably rare. In
our opinion it is far more important to
be able TO read well than to declsim or
recite well. The former is q far more
practical and, as . consequence,
Q far more desirable accomplishment than
the latter. Still, to read acceptAbly in
public Is more difficult than 90 declaim
and involves interchangeable practice in
the use of the book, the dlsengaged hand,
the body and above all the eyes. These
two ladies have obviously had some good
training in this department Of culture,
while Mrs. A. ]. Jones represented the
element more than ordin-
arily we'll. The "Chiu Basket
was new feature in the
entertainment. The basket was "per-
fectly lovely" little piece OF workman
ship in charge of Miss Nsttie Adams
and Miss Anna Nesbett. It was over
flowing with wit, huaIor and wisdom.
The Lyceum paper was edited by Mr..
A. j. Jones, with Miss Jennie Brooks
and Miss Edith Miller, associate editors.
This production possessed the merits OF
fullness and brevity. The editorial staff
stood together on the platform with the
In the centre OF the group.
Every male member of the audience, ex-
cept one, looked as though he would
like to be edItor-in-chief. Messrs Wood
ward and Culver affirmed and Messrs.
Holmes and Anderson denied that est.
John was not justified in his conduct
during the last presidential campaign"
The question was not argued from
moral standpoint, but rather from that
Of expediencY. ALI the debaters
seemed to be well versed, and sledge-
hammer blows sounded on our ears
from first TO last. The-decision favored
the affirmative. The audience was re-
galed with the announcement from the
char that Mr.. j. D. Goodrich would
render recitation. Several important
reasons existed as to why Mr.. Goodrich
did not respond TO the call. The first
was that he happened TO be at home,
and therefore failed to hear the call, and
the second was like unto the first, We
hope that Mr.. Goodrich will come again.
The report of the critic was probably |
the best number on the program. It was
full of encouragement, but it was also
candid in criticism. ICEBERG.
