Later Mr.. Jones called on the President
and said to him, 81 will not make another
step unless it meets with the approval of
the administration" The President re-
piled that he would do and say anything to
affect compromise, and that it was a
wise and good thing. Being interrogated
by Senator Villas of Wisconsin Mr.. Jones
replied: "At every conference with the
President coal and iron ore were mention
ed-every one" Naughter) He (the
President) nowhere ever uttered a single
word against going forward with the
amendments with coal and iron ore in the
bill"

The annual donation of the Baptist
church was held last Wednesday even
ing, although the day had been very
stormy. The evening cleared early
enough so that many of our townspeo-
pie attended and enjoyed good social
time. The bad weather detained many
from North Adams, Mass, who had
planned to come, thereby lessening the
crowd and receipts. We understand that
$50 was received, of which about $50
came from North Adams. When the
sleighing is good those who wish to come
from North Adams may be given an OPP
pOrtunity and will be served with a nice

From a Norwalk, Conn, paper we
learn of the death of Augustus White
Merwin, nephew of Mrs. DR.. Wickham
Mr.. Merwin attended our Seminary two
or three years and was present at the re-
union i'll 1890. He and his sister, Miss
Merwin of Brooklyn, were the first con-
tributOrs to our new Manchester library
and he also sent donation of valuable
books. Mr.. Merwin was highly esteem.

will be sufficient for all practical pur-

Burr and Burton Seminary closed a
very successful term Tuesday. The num-
Der of studen has not been large but
this was not expected, the new Principal
taking the school under dlscoufaging cir
cumstances, but very thorough work has
been done in every department. The
new Principal and the teachers under
him have abundantly demonstrated their
capacity fer the very best work. In our
opinion the Seminary was never in better
hands and we hope to see a large access
sion to the number OF students as the
terms go by. Parents can certainly find
no better preparatory school in the
State, and we believe there are no better
in the country anywhere.
