A Prosperous College-Bishop Whip
nile Preparing to Go North-Interest-
ing Facts About Florida's Grand
Army.
Winter Park, Fla, April 1.-Your cor
RESPONDENT dropped in here tonight to see
President Plants elegant Seminole hotel
close its doors for the season. Supt. d.
p Hathaway has been IN charge for two
winters, and has brought the hotel up to
the highest standard of excellence. This
is one of the most delightful spots in
Florida and has a fine class of winter
residents as well as visitors.
ROLLINS COLLEGE PRosPRRs.
The Congregationalists were wise in To-
eating here on Virginia Lake, their edu-
cational institution for this state. Since
the retirement of the venerable Rev. DR..
h. p. Hooker the college has been with
out a president, but that position is now
ABLY filed by Prof Q. G. Eairchild. who
comes from the famous Oberlin Ohio col
lege Already the executive ability and
personal popularity of the new president
have given a hopeful future TO the insti-
tuition, and its friends feel highly graft
fed at the outlook.
President Fairchild is not only a fine
scholar and an experienced educator, but
his manner is cordial and uurcserved, and
enables him to easily form new acQuaint-
ances, and make ,steadfast friends. His
able inaugural address on climatic in
fuences as affecting intellectual culture,
was strong argument for higher educa-
ton in the south. He clearly proved,
from ancient and modern history. that
warm climate does not necessarily act in
turiously upon intellectual vigor and de-
velopment. His coming to Florida has
been hailed with Joy by the friends of ed
ucatiOn generally.
PRESIDENT PLANTS HEALTH.
The rumor that President II. B. Plant
is in very feeble health has no foundation,
in fact, except, perhaps that he has been
troubled with painful carbuncle on his
arm, and took a trip quietly to Jamaica
for relief from business matters.
He is now at the Royal Poinciana hotel
at Lake Worth, with Mrs. Plant and his
his staff officers, enjoying the hospital
ity Of President tlagler. He will, how
ever, return to the Tampa Bay hotel
tomorrow, and be there to see Manager
King close his third successful season on
Monday morning.
This has been an unusually busy win
ter for both President Plant and Presi-
dent Tlagler, and their health has been
somewhat impaired. The latter will
therefore, take a rest this summer and
let all his great schemes rest also But
the former will keep up several of his en-
terprises and prepare for more extended
business next winter over aA-his newly
opened lines of traffic and at his big
hotels,
BISHOP wHPPLE's DEPARTURE.
The venerable and beloved Bishop Fl.
B Whipple, of Minnesota, after a week
of tarpon fishing, is again at his lovely
winter home on Park Lake, at Maitland.
On Sunday he will conduct his last SER
vice for the season at the Church of the
Good Shepherd, and leave Monday for
New York, where he goes to perform the
marriage ceremony for a friend. Thence
he will 90 TO his summer home at d'ari-
bOult, MINI.
The mild weather during the past win
ter has been very favorable to the bish-
ops feeble health and has allowed him to
perform a large amount of ministerial
work at Maitland and in that vicinity.
Assisted at times by Rev. Dr. Kedney,
also from Faribault, he has held regular
services at the Church of the Good Shop
herd. His daily Lenten services and the
special services Of Good Friday and Eas-
ter Sunday were largely attended by the
guests Of the Park house and from Alta
monte Springs and Winter park.
