TRINITY COLLEGE NOTES.

On Friday the executive committee
took the first active steps toward the
erection of a new chapel. A sub com
mittee was appointed to provide ways
and means and to look after details. Sew
eral architects are preparing to submit
plans. TIE building will be placed as an
extension just in the rear of the Main
Building. The second and third stories
will be one large hall, and on the first
floor will be the library room. The lat
ter room is much needed. In the old
room the books are very much crowded
and at the present rate of increase more
room is absolutely necessary.
DR.. Kilgo will preach in Wilmington
next Sunday.
Prof. a. H Merritt will preach in Raj
eigh at Rev. b. H. Tuttle's church next
Sunday. Prof. Merritt is a clear and
strong preacher as well as an excellent
teacher. The people of Raleigh will hear
an excellent sermon from him. They
cannot afford to miss it.
Mr.. G. W. Edwards, an old Trinity
graduate, who has spent the summer al
the Park, left Thursday for Tulane Uni
versity, New Orleans, where he is an as
sistant and advanced student in the de-
partment of Mathematics. Trinity will
have next year eleven men taking ad-
vanced work in universities outside OF
the State. This is an evidence of the
progressive desire for higher education
! that is inherent in the institution.
The Epworth League of Trinity Church
will on next Tuesday evening give re
ception to the faculty and students OF
the college at the residence of Capt. E.
J. Parrish. There is the most cordial
relation between the college and the city
churches.
Prof Edwin Minis, professor of Eng
lish, left Saturday for visit to his
mother and grandmother in Caswel
county Although Prof. Minis came
from Arkansas, he is of genuine Tai
Heel extraction, and that is very likely
the reason that he is the most promising
teacher of English in any Southern col
lege.
The work of the college has started
smoothly. The student body is in ex
cellent spirit. DR.. Kilgo remarked re
Gently that he never before saw so much
work done by the boys. The authorities
are gratifed that the students have be
come adapted to the locality without
any serious illness. Mr. Carpenter, who
was overcome by the heat, is doing nice
ly, and with this exception there is not
a case of sickness in college.
The Y. M. G. A. has started ont vel
for the year. Mr. F. S. Aldredge, o.
Newbern, N. c., has been elected presi
dent.
Trinity College reciprocates all the
good feelings extended to her by the
University in regard to her suspicious
opening. These two institutions though
placed on different bases stand side by
side in giving culture and intellectual
strength to the boys of North Carolina
Much depends on how they discharge
their duties.
The students and professors met Fri
day afternoon to organize tennis club
Prof. w. W. Flowers was elected presi
dent, and Mr.. B. r. Payne, secretary
1t is expected that arrangements will
soon be made for a tennis tournament
The faculty have just completed one Of
the best courts in the State.

SAN DIEGO. April 15.-Great conster
nation has been caused in certain circles
over the continued absence of the great
medium, Peter West All sorts of rumors
have been flying since Saturday, when lie
failed to appear from Escondido, where
he went to spend two days. Among the
reports circulated was one that lady,
widowed against her will had paid the
medium $500 in jewelry and cash to seek
out her Grant husband and the $50, 900 he
took with him. 1
Investigation showed that scores of peo-
pie, mostly4women,s had been voluntary
patrons Of the medium. A constant
stream of visitors called at his apart
ments. and at-the close of the day the seer
would call in "a man living in the house
to assist him in counting his money.
Vests income for the first three days
he opened up business here was $780, and
he received steadily from $50 to $75 per
day.
President Rogers of the Spiritual So
ciety read letter from West at Sunday
nights meeting, in which he said that the
seer must go to Denver to assist the
young man. Harry Waite, who was in
trouble and asked for the prayers of the
dear brethren and sisters in his mis-
sion. and stated that he would be back
very soon. Every one of the members oil

A TUMULT IN A CHURCH
Lively Session of q Congregations
Monday Club
A Clergyman Declared that Professor Was
an Anarchist and Then Came
Trouble

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-Turmoil
Kisses and cries of shame prevailed a
the meeting Of the Congregational Mon
day club today. in the auditorium of the
y. NJ. c. A. building, when the Rev. o
Brown. pastor of the First Congregational
church, told Rev. George Heron. profes-
sor of applied theology at the Iowa col
lege, that he was an anarchist. So
tumultuous grew the audience, composed
OF clergy and laymen. that the reverend
gentleman had to cease his address of ex-
coriation.
The clergy of all the Protestant demon
nations in San Francisco had bee invit-
ed to be present at Professor Heron S
lecture on The Christian State. When
the latter said:
In spite of all we can say. Protestant
ism is losing and Romansm is gaining
ground in the United States
That's not true exclaimed DR.. G.. O.
Brown, who was sitting near the plat
form. There wos a visible sensation
among the audience at these words, but
Professor Heron continued calmly: In
ing. | tell you. friends that God will
curse this divided Christianity.
Rev. Brown then obtained permission
to make an address. He started in with
personal illusions which provoked an
other row. Finally vote was taken and
it was ruled that Rev. Brown must leave
the platform, but before doing so he made
the following sarcastic comments
II anticipated this and thank you for
your advert sement of my next Sunday
sermon. will then and there review the
teachings OF DR.. Heron, whom esteem
to be an anarc hist
With these words DIR. Brown withdrew
to the impairment. of cries of
shame and loud Kisses.

CHURCH AND WORKINGMEN
A San Francisco Divine Discusses a New
Subject

subject
SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-Rev. DR..
George d. Heron, professor of applied
theology in Iowa college at Grinnell, Ia,
made sensational address on the topic
of The Church and Workingmen, in Cen
trail Methodist church in this city Sunday
afternoon. He said, among other things
''Fhe great problem of our day is the
problem of society. This is the problem
that all minds that think and in all
hearts that feel is the one we must face.
The average pay of an adult in the
United States is $500 year. At the same
time single man possesses an-income of
$50. ZOO, 900.
I've call this problem that of labor and
capital. aud again of work and wages, but
it, is much more. 1t is a question of
right relations. 1t is idle to talk of ius-
ticeSand harmony when these things con-
tlnue. 1t is a crime for Christians to be
indifferent to it. 1t is politically and
relfigously wrong that few should gain
possession of the products of the whole.
1t is not honesty or thrift.
The railway problem in America and
the question OF work and wages is a re-
ligious problem. Isaiah. in his day was
as great reformer as Charles Sumner.
Isaiah said. first of all stop bribing your
Judiciary, stop expressing the poor and
make yourselves clean.
There will be day when history will
look back and marvel at the great pa
tience and heroic self-restraint and hero
that is exercised by the vast majority
OF our laboring. men. We talk of Their
mopylae, but 1T is easy to die in heroic
times. That's nothing. But when last
summer at the village of Pullman hun
dreds of men saw their wives and chill
dren hungry day after day, and yet stood
out for a principle, they say the day will
come when they will be regarded as
heroes.
In Chicago nobody ever thought of the
church. and this ought to be said to our
everlasting shame. The church ought to
have been on the side of the oppressed
and against the oppressor. The interest
OF one man in the world is the interest
of all. We have come to the greatest
crisis in human historY.p
