BROWN WANTS WHITMAN
Interesting Report About CoIum-
bian UniverSiiy's President.
REGRET OF THE TRUSTEES
Some of the Reasons Which Seem to
Verify the RumOr of the Offer-A
Talk with Mr.. Charles w. Need
ham DIR. whitman Not Likely "a
Accept.

The report that Prof B L. Whitman,
to he elected to fill the vacancy caused by
the dismissal OF DIR. Andrews from Brown
University, is a matter of interesting,
although grave Importance, To the friends
of Columbian University.
1t Is well known that DR.. Whitman Is
particularly well qualified for the presi-
dency OF Brown University, from the stand
point OF fiscal economy and ethics, for that
learned and accomplished president is q
gold tnan," and Republican, perforce
He has not, however, obtruded his
nonoiretallic views ON anybody but, as
minated, IL money is to be made the issue
at Brown, rather than mathematics or
metaphysics DR.. Whitman would suit many
or the trustees OF Brown marvelousiy well.
The report is. however, not pleasing to
the trustees OF Columbian University. Mr..
Charles w. Needham, one of the most
prominent members of the board, said
that the report was a. yet not founded well
enough TO require serious Comment, but il
i, We're true IL would be considered re-
gretfuliy by the mana cement of the institu-
tion.
DIT. W hitnlan, he said, had already done
substantial work for Columbian Univers-
ity. and he had la mind certain plans
which would be ed at no very dis
tant time. This fact appeared to him to
indicate that DR.. whitman did not have
the suggested change in view. The ru
NOR was not very new one. He had
heard 1t In New York a week ago.
1t was said In New York that the desire
to secure DR.. Whitman was strong be-
cause he is n graduate of Brown and in
full sympathy with its history and tradi-
lions. There is another reason why DIR.
whitman might be attracted to Brown.
IL is an institution essentially ''educa.
tional" in the technical sense OF the word
and that quality is one particularly con-
genial to the activities and progressivesp spirit
OF the Columbian president, whose present
care is that OF a university president,
wider and more GENEROUS field but less
active than that ofthe technical teacher
All of those considerations will sea rcely
weigh. however. against the faet that rrof.
Whitman was elected TO his present office

COLD IN THE HEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling Of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen In Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into a solid mass, 80 the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcers is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works snow cases where the tonslls havs
become a corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves thewhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing c0nsump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

No EXCURSION NEEDED.-There is
some talk of an excursion for colored
people to be given shorty from this
place to New Orleans. 1t is said
some enterprising fellows with an eye
to the main chance are engineering
the scheme at this season, knowing
that the colored people are flushed
with money, and will, as usual, freely
spend II.
No excursion is needed at this time
and no friend Of the colored people
will try to entice them to spend their
money foolishly. They have worked
hard at sugar grinding have earned
better wages than usual let them
derive the full benefit of their money,
BY investing it in acquiring some of
the necessaries of life and home com
forts.
