The reporter then asked DR.. Kerr how

Seminary ought TO be moved. Some
thought Il would be done some day, but
that times were so hard at this time
was better not TO undertake so great an
enterprise. a favorite remark OF one
gentleman was "Yes. the Seminary VIII

DIR. KYRk's GREAT WORK.
After interviewing DR.. Kerr The
Times representative called upon sew
eral prominent gentlemen. and askSl
their opinions concerning the noble work
done by DR.. Kerr, and there was but
one verdict namely: That almost alone
he had, by hard perseverance accom-
piished a great and lasting good, that
will never cease TO rebound 10 his credit.
To him belongs largely the coming OF
the Seminary TO this city. and not only
the school OF the Prophets" but Rich
mond and its citizens are indebted 10
him for his untirng and noble efforts.

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
DIR. Lagorio Falls in with the Reicnine
Medical Fad.

Chicago, May 31.-The tuberculosis

tracted the attention Of the medical
profession all over the world several
months, is about 10 be used in Chicago
by DR.. Lagorio, director Of the local
Pasteur institute.

from the sputum Of patients, and in the

The animal is Immediately thrown
into a fever thereby, and the injection
is repeated day by day until the fever

ible sneaks. How many more Of the re-
mainder of the racers" will go into
the same class is yet to be determined.
1t was a wholesale fraud, on a scale
probably never before equalled in the
history of cycling races, or for that
matter in races of any kind.
The trouble in brief is that this year
the race was not a straightaway and
that the $50 contestants, literally by
dozens and scores deliberately cut the
course instead of going round the full
turn at Evanston. 1t is claimed that
only 81 of the first 100 to finish, among
whom was the winner, Homer Fair
monk, were noted as having passed the
limit mark at Evanston. and that no
note was ever made of the other 90
men at that point The fellows not in
the first 100 are supposed to have done
even worse.
Aside from the scandal in regard to
the race as a whole, Referee Thomas
of the Sheridan had his hands full to-
day receiving protests from the riders,
against the awarding of prizes 10 Fair
monk and Emerson, the first prize and
time prize winners respectively. 1t
now looks as if neither of these men will
be given the place which was assigned
to them yesterday. However, Fair
monk may come out, ii is almost certain
that Emerson will be disqualified. All
the testimony shows that Emerson did
not ride the course.
