A Great baptist University TO
be Established at Chicago.

New HoRK, Feb. l4.-Tho Times
says Great interest is felt by the
Baptists Of the country in the pro
posed establishing of Baptist uni
yersity in Chicago by some of the
wealthy members Of the denomina-
llou throughout the country. Mr..
John ID. Rockefeller, Of this city, Is
said TO be the reVlvor of tho project,
aud TO have undertaken to establish
the proposed institution of learning
upon sound financial basis
Inquiries among prominent mem,
bGrs OF the denomination in this city
eIlcltcd the Information that Mr..
Rockefeller had the project under
consideration for some time, but had
not yet announced his determination
in the matter. He had recently been
several times in conference with the
Rev, DR., Strong, of Rochester Uni
verslty, aud the Rev. DR.. w. f..
Harper, professor of languages at
Yale, upon the project. lie is an
intimate friend of both these gentle
muu, aud was accompanied to Europe
recently by Que of them, when the
plans for the organization or reorgani,
zatlon of the university were closely
studied.
The Baptists have had a university
in Chicago-the old Douglas Uni
yerSlty-but its efficiency had always
been impaired by poverty, and it
eventually went down in financial
sbipwreck. The proposition now
under consideration is said to be the
redemption Of this property, which is
elegantly situated for its purposes;
the payment Of all Of its debts, and
its sufficient endowment to make il
scIfsustaining. In the reorganization,
which will be the practical founding
of u new institution uudcr new
name, it is taken as a forgonG concIu-
sion that DR.. Harper will be the prcsi-
dent of the university, and in the dc
nomination this is taken to mean a
great deal, for DR.. Harper is a young
man Of demonstrated executive ability,
and of the most liberal views regard,
ing the training aud education of
men for the ministry.

a GOLD BUG FOR SPEAKER.

Under the above head the Silver
State makes the following sensible
comments on the election of Speaker:
Reed, Of Maine, the representative
Of the gold-bugs, was nominated for
Speaker in the Republican caucus
last Saturday on the second ballot.
The resolutions of the st. Louis con-
vention requesting Representatives
TO- support friend Of silver for
Speaker had about as much effect
on that Congressional caucus as the
predictions of Virgins have on the
climate of Nevada.
The election Of Reed to the Speak
ership means that majority of the
Committee on Banking and Currency
and of the Committee on Coinage
will be inimical to the interests of
silver. Representative Lodge, Of
Massachusetts,, who was Reeds lieu
tenant in the contest for the Speaker
ship, ia the author of the resolution
IN the Republican platform of his
State which says that Republicans
look to their Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress to resist any
increase of silver coinage.
1t is becoming more and more ap-
parent that unless the people OF the
silver States organize party having
for it's principle plank the remoneti-
zation Of silver, Congress will not
afford them much relief, and the
price Of silver will continue to fuct-
uate at the will Of London brokers,

having a fixed relative value with

How 20 Treat This Most OontAKiouS Of

The treatment Of case of scarietina
is of very great Importance. not only as
to the carrying out of strict rules and
laws Of medication and nursing, but in
regard to the suppression Of all dangers
Of contagion to others, as it is certainly
the most contagious of all the diseases
of childhood.
The child should be at once put to bod
in room at the top of the house, iso-
lated in every way from all other parts
or persons Of the household. The other
children, If any, should be kept in dis
tant part of the house, not meeting any
one who sees the patient, or else sent
away entirely. The room should be
we'll ventilated, and the bed "a narrow,
long cot, the best) should be placed out
Of the direct draft, and not between
door and window. .---..- =
There should be heat I'm the room. II
