in 1889. During the last gear of gradu-
ate study at Brown he completed the
full first years work at Newton Theo-
logical Seminary, studying further, at
a later time, at Newton and in summer
schools. The year 1890 and a part OF
1891 he spent in second trip to Europe
with his bride. Studied in Berlin and
Leipsic, making speciality of philoso-
ply; Mrs. de Blois at the same time
pursuing her studies in vocal music.
In September, 1891, he became vice
principal of the Union Baptist Semi
nary, ST. Martins. N. B., and in 1892
was made principal. The school had its
period of greatest prosperity during the
succeeding two years, and the number
of pupils greatly increased. He was
also pastor of ST. Martins Baptist
church during the latter part of his
residence there. In 1894 he was called
to the presidency of Shurtleff College.
being then. probably the youngest col
lege president in the United States.
President Smith, chosen president OF
Colgate University at the last COM
mencement Of that institution. was al
ready member of the faculty at the
time this new position was offered to
him and accepted. In the fall of 1892
he had been elected associate professor
of history at Colgate, becoming after
one year full professor. 1t is striking
proof of the high quality of the man,
in point of character and attainment,
that affnr " hripf for
making himself known, his promotion
to the headship of the university was
so unanimously made.
Graduating from Colby University. at
Waterville, in 1888, at the age of TWEEN
ty-one years, he served, first, two years
as principal of the high school in
Wiscasset, Me. Wishing to enjoy a
course of law study, he entered, after
these two years, the Albany Law
School, graduating in 1887 with one OF
the four honors of the class. Two years
| next following. were spent in legal
practice and editorial labor in st. Paul
MINI. Deciding, then, upon course
of postgraduate study, he went to Johns
Hopkins University, in that view, his
studies being history, English and
philosophy. While so engaged he de-
livered a course Of lectures at Bucknel
University, Lewisburg, Penn. Reciev

in history at Colgate University he ac

Just the woman of all others suited
to be the helpmate of a man of such

Prime Minister-she is too talented to

conceit has the effect of making the

with her feel their intellectual inferi-

her mental superiority, she has no pa

does not conceal her sentiments. Moth

Lady Salisbury receive the rag-tag and
bob-tail of the Conservative party and
of the Primrose League and to see her
at those brushes which she considers
it her political and social duty to give
at her house in Arlington street sever
al times during the London season.

what southern women could do and have
done: to show southern women what
their sisters in other parts OF the coun-
try were accomplishing; to introduce
new industries for their sex in the
south, and to increase tho attractive
ness of the exhibition. They met sew
eral rebuffs at the start. Many OF the
men said that all the spare money that
could be raised was required for the
exposition as already designed, and
that If there was any spare money It
could be invested with better results In
a Midway Plaisance or Ferris wheel
than in a woman's building. Then two
or three OF the men remarked that q
woman's department did not amount to
shucks: that women could not run a

The postmaster general OF England

lions of several methods for conveying

Among others was one made by royal
engineer, who advised that the mails

from one stage to another. A good

PRESIDENT B. l.. WHITMAN.
Ing college work to needs of the time.
1t is probable that much which long
trial has shown to be best in the or
ganization of such work will be re-
tanned, yet there are signs of what may
not inaptly be called an era of good
development in safe and wise direc-
tions.
Very much of interest has been
awakened by the election and accept
ance of DR.. B. l.. Whitman as presi-
dent of Columbian University, at
Washington, D. G. Those who are in
terested in the future of that institu-
ton have long been satisfied that vastly
many more of our people, north and
south, should be SO. That this result
will follow upon the acceptance by
President Whitman of this difficult but
honorable position is hope now eager
ly cherished by many. Like the gentle
men of whom we are soon to speak,
President Whitman is himself young
man. one year younger, in fact, than
his friend at Colgate. He is also speci-
men of the kind of men the maritime
provinces of Canada from time to time
send to us in the States. He is ma
tive OF Nova Scotia, born in 1863. His
university course he received at Brown,
and his theological one at Newton. Be-
coming pastor Of the Free Street Bap-
fist church in Portland, he so won the
admiration and confidence Of his
brethren and the public generally, as
in 1892, after two years of service in
the pastorate, to be chosen president OF
Colby University. His election to the
presidency of Columbian fulfills, we are
told, an earnestly expressed desire OF
DIR. yelling, who filled that position
during so many laborious years, that
at some time DR.. Whitman might be-
come his successor.
Youngest of the three, and like Presi-
dent Whitman .anative of Nova Scotia

DULUTH TO TAX FRANCHISES.
Corporations to Make a Bitter Figh
Against Assessment.
Duluth Correspondence

Duluth Correspondence
For the first time in the history of
this city franchises are to be assessed
this year, and there is much alarm
among the holders Of them in conse-
uuence. The county board of eQualiza-
ton will instruct the city assessor to
make a return at once upon all the
franchises which have been given away
in the past by the city. The board will
then proceed to assess their valuation.
The laws of Minnesota call for the tax
alton of all franchises, although but few
people seem to be aware of it. The
blanks returnable to the assessor have
a space for these franchises, but up to
the present time no one has ever
thought of filing it out, or if any has
had such a thought he has carefully
kept his ideas to himself. The corpora
lions in this city which own franchises
liable to taxation are the Duluth Street
Railway company, the Motor Line I'M
prOvement company, the minnesota
Street Railway company, the Duluth
Gas and Water company, the West Du-
luth water anu udS COMPANY 1i4o AA"A =
man General Electric company and a
branch of the last named concern
known as the Duluth Subway company.
On the supposition that the franchises
will be assessed at 81 100000, which is
far below their real value, the city,
county and state will get over $4,000
but not without a hard fight, as the
companies have been let alone SO long
that they are of the opinion that the
law will not hold water.
