Some Humane Work to do.

On the west side directly opposite
the carriage factory, lives the wife
and family of small children of Lee
Cooper. Cooper seems to have des-
erted them, leaving them nearly des-
titute, and we learn they are in
actual need of comfortable raiment
and food, scarcely sufficient of the
latter to hold soul and body together.
They should be helped and no time
should be lost in the helping. Dona-
tions Of all kinds will be gratefully
accepted.
Cooper is working at Briartown
and on the last pay day his wife
walked from here there and tearfully
plead with him for share of the
$40, his months wages, to keep their
children from starving. He drove
the unhappy woman away with
curses and threats.
Last Sunday little son of Mrs.
Cooper came into town in hope of
begging enough eatables to make a
MONDAY meal for the unhappy and
deserted family. He was noticed by
few young men who we're on the
streets. The rags he wore scarcely
covered his body and he was bare
footed. In ten minutes a general
purse was made up and new warm
suit, boots, stockings, shirt and cap
purchased with it and presented to
the boy. His delight and comfort
were enough to richly repay and
recompense the manly hearts that
made the outlay.
There are hundreds of good peo-
pie here who cheerfully give in cases
of need This is case of that kind.
Don't hesitate.

Here's a Scheme Young Men.

1t has been thoroughly demonstra-
ted that the young men of Morgan
town are possessed of more enter
prise and go ahead spirit than their
more elderly brothers. But while
this is true, young men are scarce
in Morgantown on account of the
few avenues of employment open to
them here. They are anxious for an
industrial boom for the very good
reason that their own finances could
beimproved by their staying at home
with plenty of work to do.
Now one Of the young men said to
us on Saturday that he had a scheme
on foot to start factory here by
which all the young men who so de
sire could become stock holders.
Here's his plan and we produce it in
type because we believe that the
head of the young man is level: He
says man can be found who will
advance to company of so young
men $4,000 with which to start
some legitimate manufacturing bus
mess. This $4,000 could be paid
off in a manner similar to the work
ings of building association and
when paid off each stock holder
would be the possessor of a share of
stock at value of $400 per share.
The payments would be weekly, at
$3.50 week, thus taking 160 weeks
to pay off the whole. That many
weeks would be but fraction over
three years and person so invest
ing would not only have saved $500
but big interest would immediate
ly commence on the full amount
from the time of the first payment.
His money would already be well in
vested aud that much saved which
otherwise might be spent in foolish
extravagances or in a manner bring
ing in no good return. The plan is
tangible. People go into building
associations very readily land they
are good things too) but they hold
out no such inducements as invest
ments in industrial enterprises. A
benefit not only accrues to the town
an addition of that kind to it, but a
start is also made in the private
fortunes of its citizens. We hope to
see some goodcome from the sugges-
tion which sayors not Of the vision
ary, but il rather plain business
proposition.

A Letter from Mr.. Lindemuth.

We quote the following concern
ing the instructors of McCormick
Theological Seminary, from Mr..
Lindemuth's letter to friend:
"You ask me to tell you something
of my instructors. Prof. Carrier
with whom the Juniors come in
contact most) is, undoubtedly, the
best Hebrew scholar in the country,
he is even better than Harper All
the students admire him both as a
man and teacher.
DR.. Craig, say all the students, is
without an equal in church history.
He is certainly the most interesting
and enthusiastic man, that it has
been my pleasure to meet.
DIR. Dewitt is an ideal philoso-
pher. He is thoroughly acquainted
with all the minutia of his subject.
The students call him wonder"
He has the happy faculty Of making
attractive the most abstruse subject
Dr. Marquis is very fine in New
Testament literature. He knows his
subject and knows how to impart it.
DR.. Herrick johnson, the instruc-
tor of homeletics and sacred rhetoric
is scholarly gentleman. His repu-
tation draws students from Prince
ton, Union and other seminaries. In
his department he has neither su-
periors nor equals.
DR.. Curtis is thorough scholar
in Hebrew and his exegetical abili-
ties are not easily surpassed
Drs. Skinner and Halsey are quite
old men, the latter more than ninety.
Both are successful lecturers, pre-
senting every subject and every
phase of the subject in light that
it cannot be misunderstood.
Of course the lectures of some OF
the professors / do not attend, but ]
have given you the opinion of stu
dents who have no interest nor de-
sire to create false impressions con-
corning the abilities of their profess
ors. You know that students gen
orally criticize their teachers more
severely than they should. In way
of buildings and conveniences we
could not wish it different than il
ie',

Some Musical Treats in Store.


Now we want to blow our horn a
little about our orchestra, they will
blow their own later The orches-
ira is one of the institutions of
which all Of us are very proud, and
the only fault we ever could have
with it was that its melody was too
infrequently heard, The orchestra
now proposes to give a series OF
monthly concerts at which there
will be splendid opportunity to
hear some rare and excellent music.
The first recital of the series will
take place on the evening of Deem
Der 2, and we can safely predict a
crowded house on this occasion.
One of these concerts is promised
each month for a long time to come.
The proceeds of the entertainments
will go to pay for new instruments,
uniforms, DC. A concert grand pi-
ano is also to be purchased. Ten
cents is all the charge for admit
lance and at that rate the boys can
afford to each take six or seven girls
and married men can take their en-
tire families.
The orchestra is composed of the
following members: Violins' George
Eavenson and Misses Stella and Ma
nie Berkshire; violas, George Sam
sci and Charles Minshall; cello,
Harry Shanks; bass viol, Ed. c..
Protzman; flute, Miss Mary Hitch
ems; clarionets, James Burley, Clark

Professor Purint0n Elected President
of DenisOn University.

Last week, at a meeting of the
Board of Directors of Denison Uni
versity, Prof. Daniel Boardman Purin-
ton, LII. D., was unanimously elected
president of that institution. He
went to Granville, Ohio, where the
school is located, to confer with the
authorities and after considering the
proposition for time, on Monday
decided to accept the place and so
notified the Board. He also sent his
resignation to the Board of Regents
of the w. V. u, with the request
that he be released from his duties
here Jan. /. He also wants to enter
upon his new occupation at that
time. His salary will be so, 500 and
furnished house.
Granville is one of the most beau
tiful of Ohio cities. There are 300
students in attendance at the school,
which is sectarian-of the Baptist
denomination. In fact, it is one OF
the largest UNCONVENTIONAL institu-
tions of higher education in the coun-
try.
DR.. Parinton graduated at the W.
V. U. in 1873. While yet in school
he was tutor in the preparatory
department and in the fall succeed
ing his graduation he entered upon
the regular duties Of an instructor
in that department. His superior
abilities as an instructor were soon
recognized and he was promoted to
professorship in the academic de
partment, filling the chair of mathe-
matics satisfactorily for several terms
and again raised to the head of the
department of Metaphysics, which
position he now holds. At one time
he was acting president of the Uni
versity and under the present ad-
ministration he has been vice presi-
dent. He has been profound liter
airy student and stands to-day as one
of the leading men of letters of his
State. His book, christian Theism,' y
has enhanced his literary reputation
and given him national recognition
AS man and citizen DIR. Purinton
is esteemed and trusted by his towns
men, having for several consecutive
terms been elected representative
to the common council of Morgan
town.
His place will be hard to fill in the
University. He had thorough un-
derstanding of the needs of the in
stitution and worked faithfully and
diligently as vice president in it's in
terests, He possesses thorough
mental equipment for his duties in
his department and as an instructor
is unsurpassed. He engrafts knowl-
edge in students by pure methods,
this being fortified with valuable re-
searches in it's various details.
His resignation leaves two vacan-
cies to be filled. We can hope moth
ing but the best things for Or. Purin-
ton. He is worthy Of the best hopes.
His new place involves many cares
and responsibilities, but his admira-
BILE qualities for the place and the
nobility of his manhood are sufficient
to satisfy us that success will crown
his efforts.

them eight hundred pounds a week
and offering a good round price for
it during the winter. We learn that
it will be impossible to fill this order.
