Entrance to the mosques is rarely re-

The American college of the middle
of this century, like its English orig
inal, existed for the work of the church
If the college dies the church dies. was
the basis of its appeal for money inhu-
ence. Its duty was to form class of
educated men in whose hand should lie
the preservation of the creed. In the
mouths of ignorant men the truths of
the church would be clouded. Each
wise church would see that its wisdom
be not marred by human folly.
The needs of one church indicated the
needs of others. So it came about that
each of the many organizations called
churches in America established its col
leees here and there about the country,
all based on the same general plan.
And as the little towns on the rivers
and prairies grew with the progress Of
the country into large cities, so IL was
thought, by some mysterious virtue of
inward expansion, these little schools
IN time v-orld grow to be great univcr-i-
ties. And in this optimistic spirit the
future was forestalled and. the schools
were called universities from the begin
ming. As time went on it appeared that
a university could not be made without
money, and the source of money must
be outside the schools. And so has en-
sued a long struggle between the Amer
lean college and the wolf at the door
a tedious, belittling conflict, which has
done much to lower the name and dig

IL VIII be remembered that at this
time, although we were u British DOS
session, we wore living under q con-
siitution made by ourselves and which
had been graciously allowed and up-
proved by Ills Majesty. The history
"' that constitution is one of the most
remarkable Incidents in tho chronicles
OF civil liberty. 1t will be romem-
brrod that we were tho favored and
pet colony OF Great Britain. She had
exhausted the legal learning and in
genuity Of the age to concoct IL model
constitution for us. 1t was composed
ana drawn up by the renowned Locke,
The Ercntcst metaphysical PHILOSOPHER
That has ever written in the English
tongue, assisted by my Lord Salisbury,
ono OF inc hucst practical statesmen
OF the ago: but that constitution did
not ut last contain enough of tho prin-
cip'rS OF civil liberty for liberal South
Carolina, and it Iived only u few
months and was ovcrthrown by u
general uprising Of the people against
IT, Thcy then went to work quietly
ana systematic ally and made u copsti-
Iutlon Tor themselves, which the king
found it convenient to recognize,
owing to his own domestic troubles at
that time.
This popular constitution was the
pioneer, If not the model, of ull re-
publican constitutions and forms of
popular government in America. We
lived under it nearly half century
before the Declaration Of Independence
and the formation Of the United States.
1T is not claimed that that constitu-
tion established female suffrage, but
it did not forbid it, and we see that it
was allowed at least in St. David

\ FRAUD EXPOSED.
The story OF an Advcnturer Who
lived at thc ENpcnHc Of Othcra

Atlanta Constitution.
James Addison Rcuvis, who now lies
in the little jail At Santa Fe, N. M, de-
serves place among the leading
frauds OF The century. This man has
been II soldier, newspaper reporter,
street ear driver and advcnturer.
More than twenty-five years ago he
claims that he found in u California
mission IL girl who was the heiress
OF one pcralta, Spanish grandee who
has been granted by his king immense
tracts OF land in Arizona.
ltoavis married the girl and went to
work 10 have her claim lcgalized by
the government. He found records,
Wills, grants and various papers in
Spain and Mexico confirming the grant,
and Roscoe Conkling pronounced his
chain Of evidence ~ perfect title, and
with lngers0ll and others took hold OF
his cpsc. Failing to have his grant
confirmed by Congress-, tho claimant
secured tho passage of u law establish
ing the court of private land claims,
and in this court he met his fate.
Had 'eAvis succeeded he would
have secured $75, 900, 900 worth of min
ing lands. This plain street cur driver
learned Spanish in order to carry out
his scheme, ard he moreover bccame an
expert in old Spanish and in signets,
seals, decorations and orders. Many
years ago he went to New York where
he obtained large sums Of money to aid
in the prosecution OF his suit. He got
100, 900 from Crocker, OF the Southern
| Pacific, and $l5O, 600 in Now York. In
five years be ran up board bill Of
$4,000 at the Hoffman house. He
victimizcd Ed Stokes, his cousin, W..
r.. ID. Stokes. and many others. No
man ever told more plausible tale
and his documents were apparently un-
answcrablc.
But the other side engaged able
lawyers and made q stubborn fight.
The case dragged along for twenty-five
years. Rcavis lived in luxury most
Of the time, and it was not until year
and half ago that his lawyers suspect
cd him, and the claimant had to go
TO trial without counsel u few days
ago. 1t was proved that his grants
and Wills were fOrgcrics, that Persaltn
never existed, and the whole thing
was Il fraud. The claimant, now a
broken old man, was positive and
defiant to the last, but the evidence
against him was 80 conclusive that his
arrest followed as q matter of course.
Roavis is Described as q very plain
man OF almost childlike candor and
simplicity. His wife is @ bright-eyed,
Spanish type, but some people think
that she is an Indian. Her HUSBAND
claims that he accidentally discoverei
her relationship to the Peraltus. Th,
two will now have to face disgrace ant
poverty, but they have enjoyed life 70
IL full quarter of century at the OK
pcnse of others.
