THE UNIVERSITY

The famous divine, Rev. DR.. Nc
MILAN, secretary Of the Presbyterian
board OF home missions, is to be here
shortly accompanied by Rev. d. Laid
law, OF Troy. These eminent gentle
men are coming to see what can be
done by them and the institutions
they represent toward assisting in the
building here of a great university,
and they also desire to see what the
Bellingham Bay cities propose to do
toward the same end.
Rev. A. j. Carney, who has been
here the greater part Of the time since
last July working in this cause, is now
much encouraged In the matter, and
If the people of these bay cities and
vicinity will only grow a little more
enthusiastic on the subject and make
such donations in land or cash as they
should, according 70 their ability, the
success of the undertaking is assured.
1t should be well understood by this
time, but for the benefit Of those who
have overlooked the matter it is
herein again explained, that the aim
is TO build here one Of the greatest
universities and institutions Of learn
ing In the world. The great body of
the Presbyterian church proposes to
aid largely in the building and endow-
ment of this institution, provided the
people will show a sufficiently encOur-
aging disposition to help. 1t is pro-
posed that the school shall cost three
quarters of a million, and the pro-
jectOrs ask donations in lands TO the
value of $250,O as warrant for the
cash endowments necessary to at once
push the buildings, well equipped, to
completion. A large part OF the land
endowment has been secured and yet
much more is needed. There are
hundreds Of men In this vicinity who
own lands which would be largely
enhanced in value If such an institu-
tion could be erected here, and thus
they would be doing themselves a
good business turn in giving TO the
university comparatively small
share OF the land mentioned, not to
speak of the satisfaction they would
certainly achieve by helping to success
such a grand and noble undertaking.
Bellingham bay with its scenic
beauty and all its other local adyan-
tages as d site for such an institution,
is also geographically a peculiarly
proper place for the university. From
the cities of the sound, as well as
other towns and cities OF the north
west, would naturally come numer-
Gus pupilage for such an institution
and with the mighty increase Of pop
ulation that is as certain as that the
world lives and moves westward, The
day would quickly arrive when the
university at Fairhaven would become
as great and as successful as any Of
the world renowned colleges Of the
East or Of Europe.
While the Presbyterian church pro-
poses to aid this great school In a
material way and help IL 10 the sue
cess that it can and will achieve with
proper and material assistance and
encouragement, it also intends that
the university shall be conducted on
entirely unsectarian plans and
methods. and hence there can be no
reason for cavil at the undertaking
from a religious sectarian standpoint.
The school will, In short, be a
mighty instrtution OF learning that
will be one Of the greatest blessings
possible In that direction. IL will be,

No county should presume to set
itself up as progressive and enterpris-

roads. There is not enough attention
given to this, and If the Sound coun-
ties generally had better roads, the
country districts would settle much
faster, and the towns and cities would

He Has Divorce Decree and Receipt
From His Former Wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Frank Burns have re-
turned from their trip to Coronado and
have been informed, through the col
umns of the HERALD, OF the divorce suit
which Sadie A. Burns, the ex-chief's ex-
wife, has brought against her former
husband.
Mr.. Burns called at the county clerks
Office yesterday and read copy of the
complaint in this suit. Acting on the
advice of his attorneys, Messrs. Brun-
son, Wilson & Lamme, he refused to talk
about the matter, however, when asked
for statement, merely remarking that
those who knew him would take with a
grain of salt any charges that have been
made against his honor.
Mr.. Burns exhibits deceee of divorce
from,Sarah A. Burns, dated "Ainsworth,
Brown county, Nebraska, 1885," and
signed by Judge F. B. Tiffany. This di-
vorce was granted on the grounds of
adultery. He has also in his possession
a receipt from the former Mrs. Burns, in
which she gives up all claim on him as
his wife, in consideration of the pay
ment of $500. This receipt is dated June
%, 1888, which was very shortly before
Mr.. Burns married Mrs. Hill, and is
witnessed by w. E. Morford, jr.

The spots on the sun, which are very
numerous this year, may or may not
account for the peculiar developments
ON the Colorado desert and at Lerdo, on
the Colorado river, but they are coinci-
dent with great many peculiar mani
festations in this section. Yesterday a
cloudburst made its appearance at Graf
bon, three miles east OF Redlands. 1t

foot of the giant range OF mountains
which supplies the San Bernardino val
ley with it's prodigal stores of water !;
and, rushing into Redlands, flooded the
streets of that progressive burg to a
depth of several feet. The employees OF
the Citrograph newspaper were taken
out of the Office on horseback, and the
water rose to height of three feet in
front of the Redlands bank. This is
evidently to be year of surprises, and
the natural inquiry is, "What next?'

EDITORS HERALD: At Dotheboy's hall,
the unfortunate inmates were dosed
with sulphur and treacle; we members
of the home have the only Treichel, and
if we don't get the sulphur we have the
fumes OF it, for since the commencement
OF this war among the officials past and
present of the home, the atmosphere has
been impregnated with it. 1t seems
both pity and shame that our
government, in assuming the guardian
ship of us veterans, had not delegated
the power or appointed as our protector

of self-confessed incompetence. In fact,
one reading and judging from the state
ments made in the papers, would imag-
inc the home, now distinctly made a
home for veterans on this coast, was to
be made place of re1egation for ex-
officers and friends of the board of man

The curtain has been lifted, let me put
on some scenes.
We have here a post store and beer
hall. fine depot, restaurant, and the
germs of fine band which costs fully
$500 month to maintain. This band
plays in one of the beer dives in Santa
Monica. The money to pay the band
comes from the profits of the places men
toned; how to keep these profits up was
question. No pedlers are allowed here.
mind you, and if we buy we pay the
highest price. Previous to having the
band, pensioners were allowed to draw
their money as they wished; now we
can get only small pittance of it,
but you can get all the beer
and store checks you want. We are
thus compelled to contribute willy nilly.
World it not be better for the boys to
take the money paid for the band and
with it hire good head COOK, and we
might not have stinking corn beef set
before US; good head baker, and we
might not be compelled to eat sour
bread and raw johnnie cake. But that
would not be English. dontcherknow,

CHAUNcEY M. DEPEw says that the
English railway system is barbarous.
1t is undoubtedly unpleasant to be
locked up in a small box with
strangers, which is the case even
with frst-class travellers, the inconven-
fences of which were accentuated by the
shooting of lady in one Of these COM
partments, the other day. She was
obliged to remain in her wounded condi-
ton until the guard opened the door to
admit companion. The case OF Col.
Valentine Baker also illustrated the
inconvenience of the British. system,
the allegation being that that
overbearing soldier made Grim
inal assault upon a lady fellow
passenger, the charge being sus-
tanned by his dismissal from the British
army and his employment in that of the
Grand Turk. In this case, if the general
judgment be accepted, the lady suffered.
But of course it is quite suprosable cir
cumstance that a lady of easy virtue,
finding herself in one of these boxes
with modest gentleman, might seri-
ously compromise the unfortunate fell
low, on the lines laid down in the scrip
tural incident OF Potiphar's wife and
Joseph. Such system is surely to be
deprecated, and admits of infinite i'm
provement. On the other hand, the
London and British railways have much
that can justly be said in their praise.
Innumerable trains leave the grand
central station in London daily at the
tap of an electrical bell. and the in
stances in which any accident oc-
ours are few and far between
indeed. They seem to have no Bergen
tunnels there in which to pile up hu-
man holocausts. Then, as contrasted
with the awkward and offensive New
York elevated railway, the underground
London electric roads seem to be abso-
Lutte perfection. Why this country
elects to remain so far behind England
in such an. important particular is in
deed strange. That our Pullman cars
are away ahead of the locked boxes of
the English railways may be readily
conceded, and most intelligent for
eigners admit our superiority in
this respect. That our system OF check
ing baggage is also incomparably
better than the English may also be
claimed without arrogance. But why
we are content to lay 80 far behind Eng
land in our provisions for carrying peo-
pie expeditiously and comfortably with
in the limits of our great cities is a
proposition that it would puzzle Mr..
Chauncey M. Depew to solve satisfacto-
rily. He also might find difficulty in
explaining why it is that our American
railways are 80 far behind those of Eng
land in the safeguards that are thrown
around the lives of passengers.
