DR.. HALL FOR DEAN.
CALLED TO THIS HIGH POSITION IN
BUTLER UNIVERSITY.
WILL In ALL PROBABILITY ACCEPT.
The Richmond Minister Now Look

SOHO One Has Yet Been Selected
TO Succeed Him Mt 7th-St. Church.

A unanimous and hearty call has come
to Rev. Or. Jabez Hal, Of this city.
who recently resigned the pastorate OF
Soyenth-street Christian church, to be-
come the Dean OF Butler University, Of
Iryington. a suburb OF Indianapolis. Ind,
and that scholarly gentleman left Rich
mond Monday 10 visit the western in
stitution.
The position rendered DR. Hall Is one
Of honor and trust. and is fitting tri-
butte to the ability. learning. and scholar
ly attainments o. Dr. Hall.
WAS NOT A SURPRISE.
When DR.. Hall insisted on his re-
slgnation as pastor Of the seventh-street
Christian church here being accepted,
his many friends knew that his able
services woald soon be demanded some
where, and IT. was even whispered at that
time that he might soon be at the head
Of some 'srge institution OF learning in
the West; hence, the call is not in the
nature Of a surprise to those who knew
Dr. Hall best.
II he is pleased with the outlook for
tho Indiana school. which is one stand
ing high In the educational world. it is
understood that DR.. Hall will accept.
WHEN HE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE.
The scholastic year Of the university
begins about the middle OF September,
and If he leaves for this field DR.. Han
will probably do so about the LIST Of next
month.
DR.. Hall viii leave many well-wishlng
and warm friends behind him here,
who have prohted by his teachings In
the past years. His influence In this
community has been great and his good
work will be missed.
No one has yet been chosen to fill his
place AZ the Seventh-Street church, but
a committee will probably be appoint
ed at the next meeting Of tho Official
board looking toward that end.

Different Names for waves.

They have curiously different names
for waves about the coast Of Great
Britain. The Peterhead folk call the
large Breakers that fall with a crash
on the be2t1i by the grim name of "Nor-
rawa Norway carpenter" On the low
Lincolnshire coast, as on the southwest
ern Atlantic fronting shore Of these
Islands, the gradually long unbroken
waves are known as rollers" Among
East AngliaDs a heavy surf, tumbling
in with an offshore wind, or in a calm,
is called by the expressive name of a
"slog;" while a Well-marked swell, roll
ing in independently of any blowing, is
called 'home." There is no wind"
a Suffolk fisherman will say, "but a
nasty home on the beach," Suffolk
men also speak of the bark" of the
surf, and a sea covered with foam is
spoken of as Feather white" The
foam itself is known as spoon drift"
