A FRIEND OF THE SOLDIER.

The Wilmington Messenger, of
yesterday, commenting upon one of
the many noble acts OF our highly
esteemed townsman, Mr.. Julian S.
Carr, says:
"If. Julian Carr keeps on f%ooling
with the Confederate soldiers, they
and their friends will be removing
him from the private station.
He has jus, been caught in an act
that reflects the highest credit upon
him, and we propose to proclaim it
abroad in the hope that others may
be found doing likewise, when occa.
/ offers.
There is in Cleveland county O
blind veteran of the Confederate war
whose home was under mortgage
and about to be sold over his head.
Mr.. w. II. Miller. of tho Shelby
aurora, took the matter in hand and
made an appeal for the poor man
through his paper. The responses
were not as ready or as liberal as
might have been expected. The
aurora says:
"Those who were most able did
not give the most. The liberal and
generous men are not often found in
the ranks of the rich. Material
wealth has a dwarfing effect upon
the sou, and increase of money Gre.
ates a desire for more money and di.
minishes the love of humanity.
Zone noble exception is MIR. Julian
S. Carr, of Durham, N. c., who saw
the appeal for help, and the blind
mans home for sale, aud gladly came
to his rescue. He wrote US to attend
the sale::and.buysin the.home.for the
blind Confederate soldier, and draw
on him for the deficit.
In his letter to Mr.. Miller, Mr..
Carr said: "While l haveimoney, no
blind Confederate soldiers house
shall be sold from him"
THE sentence just quotedldeserves
TO be cut 10 imperlshable marble.
We have no doubt it will be al in
scription on the monument Of the
mar who penned it. 1t will be en-.
craven on the heart of every Coz
tederate soldier. 1t will challenge
the admiration OF every man of sol
dierly qualities, wherever read or
heard.
"Mr. Carr is too young a man to
!'ave experienced the hardships or
met the perils OF the war, and it is
more to his credit that he comes to
the rescue of this veteran. And lest
any man may suggest that he is seek
ing popularity at the hands OF the
old soldiers, it may be we'll to have
it known that this sort of thing
aiding the poor and relieving distress
lis rothing new with Julian Carr.
His charity is of the large-hearted
kind. His liberality is in full pro-
portion to his ample means.
1--WE love to honor (. man like this
The State is proud OF such a SON..
The people are blessed who have
him with them"
The messenger makes a mistake IN
saying that Mr.. Carr was not in the
army. He shouldered his musket in
the early days of the war and went
forth to battle for his native land and,
therefore, knows more fully how TO
sympathize with an old soldier in
distress than those who have no prac-
teal knowledge of the priva,ions
they endured. We will say, 100, tina,
the generous and honorable act re.

A PICNIC PARTY.
A Profitable Day at RedOndo and
IngleWOOd.

InglewOOd.
One of the pleasantest picnics that has
taken place in this county occurred yes
terday, when the birthday of Mr.. Dan
Freeman was celebrated by an excursion
to Redondo Beach. In honor of the event
Mr.. D. McCool, General Manager of the
California Southern and Central lines,
placed his special Pullman palace Car at
the service of the party, which left the
city attached to the regular morning train
at 9 80 O'Clock. The picnicers enjoyed
themselves on the beach at Redondo
until IL 80 O'Clock, by which time long
ing for something more substantial than
sea breezes was felt. They again boarded
the train, and in few mo.
ments were received with a hearty
welcome at Inglewood, where a
most inviting lunch was spread in an or
ange grove. Toasts and speeches accom-
panied the repast, and aided in making
the occasion one which will not soon be
forgotten. Those who were fortunate
enough to have been included in the
party were Baron and Baroness Rogniat,
ex-Mayor E. F. Spence, Mrs. Spence,
Mrs. Geo. S. Stoneman, Miss Adele
Stoneman, Mr.. and Mrs. D. McCool,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. D. Lynch, Mr.. and
Mrs. II. T. Lee, Mrs. Dan Mcfarland,
Mr.. Dan Freeman, Colonel and Mrs.
Dunkelberger, ex-senator and Mrs. Cor
nelius Cole, and a great many other
ladies and gentlemen.
The pier at Redondo Beach is being
pushed out toward deep water at rapid
rate and will soon be in forty feet of wa
ter. Inglewood is one Of the most
charming places in this part of the State,
and many improvements have been re-
Gently completed, while more are yet
under way.

A Resignation.

DR.. William Shelton, President of Los
Angeles University, has resigned that

address on Thursday, during the clos
ing exercises OF the session.
The Board of Trustees of the Univers-
ity, in accepting his resignation, unani-
mously adopted the following resolu-
tions
WHEREAS, VIM. Shelton, D. D., L. L.
D., has given notice to the Board of

fore,
Resolved, That we hereby express our
high appreciation of DIR. Shelton's

heart, and that we part with him with
great reluctance, regretting the necessity

the University, he intends to remain in
California. He proposes to establish a
college in or near Los Angeles, or in
some other good location in Southern
California, where owners of real estate
and others will give liberal bonus for
its establishment. He proposes to erect
suitable buildings for the use of the col
lege. But, as be desires to open the
school on the 1st of September, he wishes
to find location where temporary ac-
commodations can be provided until the
buildings are completed. He proposes
that the college shall have the usual
course Of study, including music, art,
elocution and modern languages; that it
shall be open to both sexes; that it shall
have a preparatory department for the
thorough training of children in the
elementary studies; that it shall be en-

rian in spirit; that it shall have, as far
as possible, representatives of the prom
inent Christian Churches in it's Faculty /;

the college which he proposes establish
ing, may cali to see him for one week at

General Sheridan starts ON HI
Health VOYAGE.

AASsAAsNA " eA6O %
WASHINGTON, June 30.-General Sheri-
dan was removed from his house to the
Swatara at about II o'clock this morning.
A small crowd had gathered in front Of
the house to catch glimpse of the sick
man. When the Red Cross ambulance
drove up at the door few minutes later,
General Sheridan was placed on low
cot, with handles on either side like q
stretcher, and brought down stairs from
his bedroom in the second story by five
of his orderlies and placed in the ambu-
lance. Doctors O'Reilly and Matthews
and his brother, Colonel Sheridan,
entered the ambulance and accompanied
him to the vessel. Mrs. Sheridan, with
Colonel Kellogg, Mrs. Decker and the
two nurses, entered carriages and fol-
lowed the ambulance. The General was
placed in the ambulance on the cot, feet
foremost. On the way down he con-
versed freely with his attendants, and
frequently asked the condition of the
weather and the prospects of its chang
ing, how far it was to the navy yard, and
how soon they would leave after arriving
there. He appeared to be cheerful, and
did not seem fatigued from the ride.
When the ambulance arrived at the
dock six sailors lifted the cot out of the
ambulance and carried it over the
starboard side OF the vessel.
The General was then carried
into the Captains cabin, which
is situated on the spar deck, and put in
his swinging cot. At / O'Clock Captain
MCGOWAN took the bridge and gave the
necessary orders for getting under way,
and at l Is O'Clock, as the tide was at
its highest point, the hawsers were cast
loose, and the ship swung out of her
dock, amid the waving of hats by the
Captain and Drs. O'Reilly and Matthews,
who stood on the deck. The ship was
assisted out into the Potomac by the
yard-tug Rescue, when she was cast
loose and proceeded slowly down the
river on her way to Nonquitt.

The sweet Girl Graduates.
rphnadelphis Times,

II is interesting TO know what event
ually becomes OF the "sweet gil
graduate" whose aTtless smile beams
upon Us each June on commence
ment day. OF the total number
3S.l per cent. marry, 1924 per cent.
become teachers, while zoos per cent.
live. like the lotus-eaters, careless Of
mankind. No doubt OF the proportion
who become teachers many marry later
in life. some after they have long passed
from the sweet eirlerlduate ranks and
been enrolled in the blood-curdlng
ranks of "splnsters
Yet, to tell the truth, the showing IS a
creditable one for the girls. That 3s.l
per cent of the whole number should
marry, thus fulfilling the obvious duty
of womankind, is creditable enough in
itself, but that an almost equal number
should become instructors OF the youth
of the land entities them surely to a full
measure of public esteem. II may be
doubted, indeed, whether as fair a show
ing is made by the other sex of gradu-
ates, which in its assumed superiority
rarely neglects to sheer atits better, even
on graduation day.
