NOTES FROM LOMBARD.

DR. WHITE told his students few
greatest number Of academic students
for one term the school has had since he
became president. Since then more have
entered. Weuow have an even hundred,
not counting those studying music or art.
This term has only two weeks more to
keep before its winter vacation begins
and lasts until January 3D., when the
winter term begins. We have reason to
expect number of new ones then.
Since our last report, the Theological
department has been increased by one,
Miss Carrie Rice, of Englewood, ILL.,, a
member of the church of which Rev. Miss
Kollock is pastor,enters upon four years
course. IL there are not more additions
to the gentlemen side of the department
the ladies will soon be in the majority.
As the number now stands, there are
three ladies and four gentlemen. The
freshman class is composed Of two ladies';
the sophomore of two gentlemen; the
junior of one lady; the senior Of two gen.
tlemen.
The seniors are busily engaged upon
their book, which they propose to issue
on commencement day. 1t is entitled,
"The Lombard" and will contain his
tory of the institution and other impor-
tant and non-important matters. Every
friend of the school should save fifty
cents and buy "The Lombard"
Miss Chapman, the instructress in
elocution is quite i'll, but not seriously.
She is gaining the favor of the students
every day. Her success as an instructor
is no longer question.

MICHIGAN. - Sermons in Vermont
yille.-Rev. James Gorton writes: Re
Gently preached in the Congregational
church at Vermontville, afternoon and
evening. Their pastor assisted me in the
afternoon and he and his people we're all
out to hear me in the evening. 1 think I
gave good satisfaction, and offense to no
one. My afternoon subject was "Loy-
atty to Conscience and an Educated
Sense of Right" My evening subject
was The Interpretation of the Story of
the Garden OF Eden and of the Symbols
therein used" entirely outside of the Or
thodox exegesis. At the conclusion the
pastor made some excellent remarks and
asked some questions, which l am told l
answered just as he would have answered
them. He is an educated, live, progress
sive young Scotchman.
Il attended their communion service
iu the morning and partook of the SYM
bols with them, the pastor preaching a
very appropriate and excellent sermon"
Port Huron" The Dairymaid's Fes-
tival was given by our parish at Port
Huron, Nov. %. The amount taken in
was 5000. The general manager" Of
the entertainment were Mrs. H. @. San
born and Mrs. E. r. Wheeler; and there
was a reception committee Of twelve
ladies and gentlemen. There were music,
refreshments, a Gypsy band and all else
necessary for a good performance and
a pleasant evening.

Lapeer.
It is with pleasure that we announce
the settlement of Rev. Elmer Jacobs over
this society. The matter has been pend
ing for some time, but is now settled.
Mrs. Jacobs,who has been studying music
at Syracuse University for some time,
will remove to Lapeer at once, and we
presume take charge of the music in the
church. Let this settlement continue,
and there is little doubt that this society
will soon be as prosperous as it was of
yore. Br. Jacobs will have the privilege
of preaching to brains as well as to hearts,
and we congratulate both pastor and peo-
pie on the most happy result consum-
mated,

The Stronger Sex.

Why am l Il woman suffragist? Be-
cause | am. Because woman has
more good. hard, common sense than a
man. Because she makes less bluster
about her rights, and quietly maintains
them better than man. Because she
won't give $l.50 for an article that she
knows very we'll she can get for 75
cents. Because she does not stalk lofti-
ly away from the counter without her
change if the robber behind it is a little
reluctant about counting it out. Be-
cause she is too independent to pay the
landlord 81 for her dinner and then pay
the head waiter 81 TO send her Il waiter
VINO will bring 1t to her for so cents.
Because she will hold her money tightly
in her own good little right hand for
two hours until she first gets receipt
for it from the fellow who made her
husband pay the same bill five times
last year. Not any lust give you credit
for it" for her. Because one day a
Pullman porter complains to me: No
money on this trip; too many women
aboard. Don't never get nothin' out
of woman 'ceptin' just her regular
fare" had just paid him % cents
for blacking one of my shoes and losing
the other. And when he said that,
when lsaw for myself the heroic firm
ness of those women, travelling alone,
paying their fare, and refusing to pay
the salaries of the employees of a wealthy
corporation, said: These women have
a right to vote. To vote? BY all that
is brave and relf-reliant and sensible,
they have a right to run the Govern
ment. ."-BurCtette.

"Joe" Brown and Bob" Toombs.

Another story lately heard of fSena-
tor Joseph] Brown relates to his quar-
rel with bob" Toombs, which liked to
end in a duel, but which failed because
Toombs did not send the challenge.
Brown has great reputation all over
Georgia for being very strict Christ
ian. He has been noted rs temper
ance man, and he is always to the front
in any religious movement. Some of
the old women in Georgia expect to sec
Brown translated some day, and it is
said that he can make as good relig-
speech. Well. when Toombs was at
one time especially angry at Brown he
sent military friend of his to ask
Brown whether there was anything in
religion which would prevent him from
accepting a challenge.
Brown received the strutting colonel
and listened to his question, looking
him in the face with his cold gray eye
and stroking his long gray beard as he
did so. As the colonel concluded
Browns big mouth opened like trap.
and he slowly and articulately said: Il
have carefully considered my duty TO
man and TO God. | have canvassed my
religious belief and have come to the
conclusion that you may tell Gen.
Toombs that can really find nothing
either in it or myself that will prevent
me receiving a challenge from him at
any time or under any conditions |
shall indeed be most happy to oblige
him in any way which he shall see lit
to ask"
The colonel said good-dav and left
Brown, and for some time the duel hung
fire. During this time it is said that
Brown was busy six hours out of the
twelve firing at marks with Win
chester rifle, and that he finally got the
aim to such perfection that he could
snuff n candle about eight times out of
ten. Toombs, for this reason or some
other, failed to respond, and the matter
dropped, but the congressman who told
me the above story asserts it as his be-
lief that had the duel come off Brown
would have killed TOombs with no more
compunction than that he exhibits when
he carvcs one of his enemies on the
senatorial CteUelaHd Leader.
