He Has Plenty of Provisions-would Have

MIR. E. c. Reynolds Of Cape Eliza beth,

In this letter Mr.. Peary writes that
while he did not fully realize his plans
the last year he has still another year

A Washington Institution is Urging Him 10
Leave CoIby--IIaine Baptists Will I'm
doubtedly Protest.
During the week just past, commit
tee representing the trustees of Column
bia University, in Washington, D. o.,
has waited upon President Beriah L.
Whitman, of Colby University, and
rendered to him the presidency of the
Washington institu tion. 1t is under
stood that they have united to this offer
very urgent solicitations that he shall
accept.
Columbia University at Washington is
Baptist institution, having collegiate,
law and medical departments. A large
portion of it's students are department
clerks. who study professions while
holding their government positions DR..
Yelling. the president, has recently died.
The committee which waited upon Pres
ident Whitman consisted of DR.. A. S
Green, DR.. Charles A. Stakeley and Mr..
Hubbard. President Whitman now has
the matter under consideration. He
has recently declined a fiattering call to
Colgate University.
This effort to take President Whit
man away from Colby will be regarded
with favor neither by the great Baptist
bo dy in this state, nor by citizens in gem
eral, who desire the welfare of Maine in
stitutions. This much has already been
expressed with emphasis by prominent
men who are cognizant of the offer to
President Whitman. He has been at
Colby only three years, just long enough
to make the beginnings of what prom-
ises to be an unusually successful admin
istration. Colby this year has an entering
class OF eighty, of whom sixty enter the
college for young men and twenty the
college for young women. In the two
colleges there are now two hundred and
forty students. Moreover, the fitting
schools associated with the university
are unuasully we'll filed, promising still
larger classes in the future.
The friends of Colby feel certain that
it offers better field for President Whit
mans powers, and one in which he can
do greater good than does the institution
al Washington.
The matter will undoubtedly be cam
vassed actively during the Baptist con-
vention, which assemblies here today.

GORHAM.
The Normal School Building Hall Burned
Yesterday.

The Normal School boarding hall at
Gol ham, owned by the state. better

destroyed by fire this forenoon. About
9 o'clock fire was discovered in the rear

study hours and they were enabled to

belonged to Principal Corthell, were
saved. Forty tons of coal in the base
ment were burned. Principal Corthell

The Rumford Falls Extension.
Contracts we're yesterday awarded Ward
Brothers of Kennebunk, to construct
the extension of the Rumford Falls Rail-

operations at once and hope to have the
greater part of the grading done this
fall. The road will be completed to
Houghton by August, and to Bemis at
the lakes, in time for excursionists
who go in for the fall shooting. The
road is 2S miles long, extending to the
central lake of Names system, and ex-
tends up the Swift river valley affording
an easy road bed. with little blasting,
and work can be rapidly pushed. Its
success is assured from the start, as it
reaches immense tracts of hard wood
that heretofore conld not be reached.
Large saw mills will be built and the
dressed lumber shipped to the coast.
The large pulp companies will also draw
heavily on the road for supplies.

Arizona republican., 1894-09-27

oblivous of his war upon the newspaper press, while a member of the 17th legislative assembly in 1892, or else they have rendered themselves open to the suspicion of indorsing his views in that respect, as we'll as his reference to the ignorance of his constituents of whom he asserted in set speech on the floor of the house, that 'but one person in six reads newspapers" This assertion of MT. Skinner was reported in THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, of April 7, and not contradicted by either Mir. Skinner or the Democratic organ of Graham county.
 "The Belt of April 15, 1892, in it's dis avowal of Skinner's marked estimate of his mentally uncultivated neigh bors, had this to say: "Wlth no disrespect to Mir. Skinner's opinion of the ignor ance of Arizonans, we cannot concede that SO many of them are so void of the desire to know what is transpiring beyond the smoke of their chimneys as to not read a newspaper. To believe otherwise would carry us back to 1881 when England interdicted printing in the colonies upon any pretext what ever. But why should MT. Skinner discriminate against the press alone :? It, as we'll as common schools, is an educator; and while that is the fact, why did he not in his bill also attempt to legislate against the lightning's flash and electric dashes which, as soon as the keys are touched, becomes an edu- cator. The telephone and photograph may also be classed with the school master, and, strange to say, Skinner's attempt to handicap education was ex- clusively confined to the newspaper, which daily enters every household and familiarly conyerses with millions.
 ''The vote of the house on Skinner's bill. on it's final passage. was ayes, T; nays, 15; absent. 2.
 'George W. P. Hunts motion to re- consider the vote was lost. as was in- tended 1t should be, so as to place it forever beyond legislative resurrec- tion."
