The work of the institution was
never more satisfactory than at pres
ent. The department of the young
ladies on all occasions has been a sub
ject of universal commendation. We
are happy to be able to report that a
number of them have made profess
sion of religion since the opening OF
the present term, and that a large
majority of the young ladies of the
boarding department are members of
the church.
In closing this report we will be al
lowed to express the hope that new
interest in this school will now be
awakened throughout your bounds,
and that, through your aid and CO.
operation we may be able to see the
school grow more prosperous and use
full yearIafter year.

MILTON COLLEGE.
To the Synod Of Tennessee-Greet-
ing. We the Board of Trustees of
Milton College at Fayetteville, Tenn,
would submit the following report :
AS directed by the Columbia Synod,
an agent, Rev. E. j. McCroskey, has
been employed to travel throughout
her bounds to raise a fund sufficient
to make the repairs and improve
ments on the bnilding and grounds of
Milton College necessary in order to
open up first class school.
The agent has made gratifying
progress. About S., 900 subscribed for
improvements on the property and a
conditional bequest of an amount
ranging from $4,000 to 5000 has been
left by Miss Coldwell (deceased) of
Scottsboro, Ala, as an endowment
fund to the institution to aid in the
education of probationers for the
ministry. Steps are now being taken
to begin the improvements, as $4,000
the minimum amount with which
we were willing to begin work, has
been subscribed.
About $4,000 will be required to
makeall the necessaryimprovements,
The agent is still at work securing
subscriptions. We believe that il
your fostering care shall be properly
given to Milton College, it has 8
grand future of usefulness before it
The building containing "A domitorie:
and 3 large recitation rooms, is
elegantly located on a plat of ground
containing acres. Fayetteville is
located in the very center of large
scope of country not now reached By
any other G. p. School. The adj
vantages for cheap living are unsur
passed. The immediate county il
very rich and the local advantages in
many other respects arc very superior
for the establishment and mainte
ance of a good school. Mr.. c. S
Wilson, one of our number, will be {
member ofyour body and can give
any information desired.

BETHEL COLLEGE.

DELI NOlJbEVI1s
The Board of Trustees of Bethel
College, Mckenzie, Tennessee, would
respectfully submit to your reverend
body their annual report
The number of students enrolled
in Bethel College the last scholastic
year was 252, eighteen of whom are
preparing for thegospel ministry.
This was thelargest attendance had
during any scholastic year since the
late war.
The number of students already en-
rolled during the present session is
2O9, fifteen of whom are preparing for
the gospel ministry. The enroll
ment now is 50 more than it was at
this time last year.
We are happy to say that your
Board of Trustees, the Faculty of the
College, the people of Mckenzie, and
the Cumberland Presbyterians of
West Tennessee are enthusiastic over
the prosperity of the College. We
have a College of which we believe
the Cumberland Presbyterians of
your State may justly feel proud.
Every year it is growing in the con-
fidence of our people and in their
support, and all of its interests are
rapidly advancing.
Your Board of Trustees confidently
believe that if they had a few thous-
and dollars to invest in more build
ings and apparatus that in less than
five years from date there would be
an annual naturalization of five hun
dred students in Bethel College.
The attendance upon the College
during the last scholastic year was
so large that in expectation Of a reas.
enable increase of patronage during
this present Fall term the Faculty ask
ed permission of your Board to raise
means to put a building upon your
grounds for the USE of the Primary
| Department of the College. This
permission was granted. You now

How Mr.. Blaine Looks.
From the Boston Globe


Mr. Blaine is looking fairly we'll, not Wig
orous, to be sure but well enough to last
many years with care. He seems to be a
trlfie heavier and stouter than when he went
away, and his face has more color in it. All
that skim milk, flsh-belly blue white has
gone, and given place to a ruddier glow
Those big eye pouches Were there as usual,
and seemed to have a few more wrinkles in
them, but their baggy look, called by Har-
ward doctors kidney" had gone.
The two lines, which have run from the
sides of his nose to the corner of his mouth
ever since be was defeated by Hayes in 1876
have grown deeper and more jagged since
he went away, making his mouth stand out
strongly His hair and beard were us gray
as ever. If they could, they both would be
more gray. A striped and rather English
looking dressing gown concealed his body
from close inspection. His shoulders did not
seem to stOop any more than they did when
he left New York. His hands were tanned
to about a channels leather hue, or two or
three shades more brown than his face. His
eyes were much brighter and more active
than they were year ago, and his nose,
that great knobby and hobby nose, was
there just under his forehead and just above
his moustache and right between his eyes.

AN EARLY WAR .IsG.
A Correspondent who Urged Quaren-
tine Months Ago.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 9.-Editor
Morning Ne,cs: Last year, as soon as the
yellow fever appeared at Key West. met
Col. Martin in charge of the Times Union,
Mr. G. II. Jones being absent at that time
and told him that | had some experience
about such matters and unless they put on
the quarantine we would have the yellow
fever here, and he then asked me to write
something, which did, signing my initials,
but Col Martin published it under my full
name.
The city and county boards Of health met
and hesitated, and | wrote another letter,
which was published in the Times Union,
and the boards had another meeting, which
was attended by prominent business men,
who stated that unless the boards took
action. they would take the matter in their
own hands, and the boards county and
city, put on the quarantine and in n short
time people COM menced to kick about in
jury to business, and | wrote another letter
that was published in the same paper Then
a board of health, composed of number
Of counties, was formed, and
the country knows the. result, which was
yellow fever at Tampa, and later on at
Plant City
During the last of winter / published
another letter in the Times Union urging
in general terms the great Importance Of
timely action. After that | offered a letter
to the Ne10s- Herald, when Fletcher was
editor, and be declined to publish it on the
ground that the city was full of northern
people and it would cause stampede, and
the city would be injured.
On May Q l wrote a communication for
the Times Union, after 1t had swallowed
up the Nelcs- Herald, and Col Martin re-
fused to publish it, saying they did not
think it proper to discuss the question then.
In that article / defended Surgeon Gen
eral Hamilton for giving timely notice, and
also Gen. Perry for not calling the legisla-
ture together, and dealt with the subject
generally.
The newspaper mon and the health
authorities are clearly TO blame in this mat
ter. If the papers had pursued the policy
that c. II. Jones did in boldly publishing
the truth they would have created public
sentiment, as was done before, compelling
tine health authorities to maintain quaran-
tine against infected points of the state.
| have been noting events and am not at
all surprised at the existence of the fever
here. The only wonder is that it did not
appear much sooner In the absence of proper
quarantine. j. NJ. ARROW.
