We are truly glad to learn
that no steps were taken at the
Commencement last week to re-
move Trinity College, The Alumni
passed resolution, protesting
against the removal.
The "Christian Sun" of Raleigh
says, "The Durham RECORDER
throws hot shot into the Methodist
brethren for wanting to move Trini-
ty College. Why should it?~ Has
the RECORDER any thing to do with
it?" Yes. 1t is our Alma Meter
and we wish tose her prosper. We
wish to see her continue to take a
high rank among the educational
institutions of the country. VIII
the editor of the "Sun" please an
swer if he is in favor of moving
Trinity TO Raleigh, or any other
point why did lie not work to
get his own college to some city?
Why IS he building it in the woods
far removed from the corrupting
influences of large towns or cities?
We are glad to see the old students
coming to the rescue of the college.

ally but she has done as much for
education in North Carolina as any
other college. The High Point

moment that the prominent thought
in the minds of her sons and friends
was, "Will Trinity be remoyed?"
Neither could even the most care
less listener fail to hear the almost
universal voice answering the ques-
ton in the negative. The city Of
Raleigh was present in its cash of
fering of twenty thousand dollars,
with the promise or more. if the
institution is moved to that place.
Our smaller neighbor, Greensboro,
was also on thescene. and, although
like 'bT fox, he lay low was ready
at moments notice. to reach for

larger aud Weather city miss it.
To our surprise not one man did We
hear express himself of the removal.
All the old staunch friends Of
Trinity-those who helped rock the
cradle of its infancy-were indig-
nant at the proposition, and were
unsparing in their expressions Of
disapproyal and disgust.

A Washington Wit.


When the Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain was in America manipulating a
certain fishery treaty he was taken to
the engine room under the Capitol,
where beautiful and powerful Cor
liss engine was driving the ventilating
machinery.
Attracted by the beauty of the noise
lessly gliding monster, Joseph turned
to Felix McCloskey, the attendant,
who was oiling journal, and asked:
wv hat is the horse power of that
engineer
Felix, who is character and a well
known one, detected London fog in
the Britisher's voice and panorama
of lreland's wrongs whizzed through
his minds eye. He looked at Joseph
a moment with a stare of commingled
pity and contempt and then replied:
Horse power be d! That majig-
ger runs by steam
When Felix can be induced to re-
late some Of his California experiences
there is sure to be mirth. On one of
these occasions in the midst of a mar
rative of the blood curdling depriva-
tons of the Argonauts he incidentally
made a remark about the virgin for
ests that met the pioneer when he first
struck the Golden State. One of the
listeners, anxious for mental illumina-
ton, asked:
What is virgin forest, Felix"
"A virgin forest, replied McClosky.

rushed up to a comrade and said

His friend advised him to change
his horse for Mazeppa, horse of one
of the sergeants. She would carry
him through. He hastily did SO, and
watched every movement of his ami
mai during the ensuing evolutions.
When the call of halt came, Ma
zeppa stood like a rock, and the proper
order was issued by the officer. In
this way the horse, by it's ear fol
music, told its rider the orders of the
day. and carried him safely through

TRY NOT TO COUGH.

A physician who is connected with an

Bays: "There is nothing more irritating
70 cough than to cough. For some time
had been so fully assured of this that
recently determined, if possible, for one
minute, at least, to lessen the number of
coughs heard in a certain ward in the hos
Pital of the institution. By the promise Of
rewards and punishments, l succeeded in
inducing them simply to hold their breath
when tempted to cough, and in little
while l was myself surprised to see how
ONE of the children entirely recovered
from their disease.

Ice Made by a Refrigerator.

A Boston inventor claims to have
perfected process by which ice may
be manufactured in an ordinary re-
frgerator. He has exhibited his in
vention to a gathering of capitalists.
In the room was refrigerator. There
was stove, and the temperature of
the room was ~ dogs. Fahrenheit. In
the locked and sealed department of
the ice chest was a small tin case
filed with the mixtures. There was
no ice in the chest The temperature
of the rest of the chest was rs degs.
All was clean and dry. A gentleman
placed tumbler of partly melted
ice in the chest, and in fifteen minutes it
was frozen solid. The inventor claims
by his process to be able to produce
cold from any degree down to zero.

hold would be about $7.-New York

THE DEAD UTE CHIEF.
A Weird Story of Old Colorow, Late Load
err of the White River Indians.


"Of all the wicked wild Indians who
for fifty years have infested the bor-
der, old Chief Colorow, who died at
the White River agency, was the
worst" said Henry Fitzsimmons, q
post trader of the White River, to an
Examiner representative at the Grand
yesterday
Il have been in the White River val
ley for fourteen years past and knew
old Colorow intimately. l also know
Sapovonaro, who is to succeed the
dead chief. l am familiar with the
Meeker massacre, led by Colorow and
consummated by him in all its fiend-
ish cruelty. ! would have been killed
in 70, when the Utes went on the war
path, had | not got out AS it was
lost all my goods, my building was
burned and got back to find myself
totally ruined. You remember that
the Utes killed N. G. Meeker, the agent
then, who was trying to conduct the
agency on humanitarian principles.
He had been an associate of Horace
Greeley on The New York Tribune,
and thought that by kindness the Utes
could be induced to stay on the reser-
Walton and learn farming.
They killed him without a mo-
ment's warning, as well as about thirty
attaches of the agency, and carried
away Mrs. Mceker and her daughter
Rose into captivity. Their captivity
was worse than death. After the
ladies were rescued, and after Mai.
Thornburg and others of the United
States corps were killed, the Utes
quoted down, and Miss Meeker was
given government position in Wash
ington, where she soon after died.
Now what | wanted to tell you is
that after the government had failed
to punish Colorow and others of the
Utes for this crime, and it was a GER
tain thing that nothing would be done
with them, they began to covertly
boast of their deeds Old Colorow
would leer and smile, and say that he
always knew the government would
not hang them, or punish them in any
way; that it dare not He said to me
that though he knew the Indians did
not have many friends among the
whites of Colorado and Utah, they had
plenty of them elsewhere, and that he
had never been afraid of the conse-
quences.
In regard to the Meekers, mother
and daughter, he simply laughed. l
tell you that if ever there was an I'M
hanged william it was that old Chief
Colorow, and everybody on the White
River knows it too well. Colorow al
ways was hard citizen. He began
when a boy, and he killed more
people than he was years old, though
he was 70 when he died. His band
was about as murderous, too, as they
could be. | could cite many individ-
ual instances of their perfidy, how
they befriended frontiersmen only to
kill them, and how they killed emf
grants bound to Utah and California.
1T is enough to say that Colorow is
dead, and that White River people are
not sorry. San Francisco Examiner.
