DEATH IN THE WIND.

The past May will go down into his
tory noted for the large number of
fatal storms which took place during
it's existence. The death record for
this one month is greater than for any
one of the past ten years, with the
single exception of 1893. 1t is now
thought the record for May just closed
will exceed 1000. With the eXcep-
tion of 1898, just referred to, when
the death roll reached 4,462, the
largest death list from the fury of the
elements for any one of the past IA
years was in 1890, when it exceeded
900. The record of the loss of life
from cyclones and tornadoes during
the wears since 1882 is as follows.

PRoFEssoRsHIP FOR DIR. FRINGE

To Fill the Chair of History and Polit-
 ical Science at Dickinson.
 Rev. Dr. Morris w. Prince. who few months ago concluded his pastorate of Trinity M E. church, this city, and who has been supplying the pulpit of his old charge in Stamford during the vaca- tion of the pastor, MT. Downey, has just been elected professor of history and political science in Dickinson col lege.
 The Christian Advocate says: He Is an alumnus of Wesleyan university of the class of 67, and for some years thereafter was the principal of an im- portant seminary in the east. As a preacher he has attained high distinc- tion, having been pastor at Concord and Dover, N. H.; Stamford, Conn :; Nostrand avenue, Brooklyn; Bristol, Conn.,. Meriden Conn.,, and, last of all, New Haven, Conn. It is a coincidence that in two important churches pr. Prince was successor to President Reed. His accomplishments and mental en- dowments qualify him to master the re- quisitions of any professorship which he would undertake, His personal qualities have never failed to win an admiring and, what is far more advan- tageous to preacher or teacher, a loving circle of friends. We congratulate the institution and the new professor, for the career of Dickinson has been most honorable, and needs only the enthusi- astic support of it's natural patrons to equal it's best achievements previous to the time when, by the cutting off of the south from it's support, it's resources of men and means were restricted. This new department is one of several signs 1 of recent rapid advancement
