The problem is quite open as TO the

Mars. Astronomers. as d rule. venture
guess that vegetation on that world is
red instead Of green. This is not at all
absurd as "a Imposition. Our own
planet must have q decidedly red hue

fingers are long. but we'll covered

be OF COOL form Notwithstanding her

Virginia NJ. Z. Conference.

at yesterdays session of the Virginia
Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, at
Roanoke, Bishop Newman addressed the
large audience on Southern Education
Bishop NewmaD said that were it not
that he would be charged with betrayiDg q
political secret he could whisper to the peo-
pe of the South that the great ard good
man who had been elected President would
be the President of the whole United States,
and not of the North or South, East or West.
His appointments 10 Office in the South
would be from the very best citizens, and
his administration would be wise, conserva-
tive snd pronotive Of the best interests OF
all sections. The North. said the Bishop,
was tlia reservoir ia which was being gath
cred & dangerous foreign element. The
unrest American blood was TO be found IN
the South, and he did not know but the
people of the South ought to thank God
they had been horn south of the Potomac.
The north would bave to engage in a death
grappe with this foreign element, which
was fast dominating Legislatures and NUM-
cipaities, and it might be that the South
would have to march forth in defense of our
dearest nationaI institutions from foreign
encroachment. He ralated conversation
he had wth the Governor Of South Carolina
when ne was his guest recently, and the
remedy he proposed for the rsce troubles.
He said Il would draw line of distinction
and place on Que side ell the intelligent,
educated and patriotic and on the other the
ignorant | would then say let intelligence
rule, while brought the ignorant under the
influence of religious education"
Bishop Newman announced the following
