HELPED UP.
Dayt0n's Bill to Make Judicial Dis
tricts Of West Virginia, Goes to
Special Committee,

SpeClhi COunilttet.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February o.
Congressman Dayton hoped that his
bill to divide West Virginia into two
judicial districts would be favorably
reported from the judiciary committee
to the House to-day. Instead of
that the bill with four or five others
of similar character, was referred
to a special subcommittee for invest
igation as to the need of the creation
of the new offices called for by them.
A petition signed by 100 West
Virginia lawyers, protesting against
the Dayton bill, which clerk of the
United States Court Delliker, OF
Parkersburg, laid before the judiciary
committee to-day, probably had
something to do with to-day's unfav-
orable action of the committee.

very well satisfied with the present

magistrate will add their weight OF
influence and he will be brought
if pressure can do the trick.
The term of school may be ex-
tended into the summer in order to
suit the convenience of the President
and two weeks holiday given at the
end Of the present term of school.
The faculty were to have considered
this at their meeting yesterday but
consideration Of it had to be post
poned by press of other business.
They will act on it in a few
days. Mckinley would have to
be here on the twenty-ffth and il
he would come at that time school
would be out if no change was made
in the length of the term. So the
change has been agitated.
The letters which have been re-
ceived by DR.. Raymond on the sub
ject are as follows:

fed by the heartiness of your letter
and appreciates fully your courtesy
in writing so enthusiastically of the
probable result of the visit referred
to. He will be most happy to meet
the wishes of his friends in West
Virginia in this matter, if it is pos
sible to do so, but the commence

plans for the sum- er are as yet so
indefinite that lie finds it impossible

The Pedagogical Society.

The programme for the coming SEES
sion of the Maine Pedagogical Society
is one of exceptional value. The list of
speakers, includes the names of many
prominent educators. while the topics
for discussion are practical and show
the keen interest of the teachers of
Maine in their work There is much
that will interest the general public
as well as the members of the society.
This is especially true of the lecture
on Wednesday evening by John Fiske
of Cambridge. DR.. Fiske is known as
one of the deepest thinkers and most
scholarly writer's of the present gene
ration. In the department of Amefi-
can History he is considered one of the
foremost authorities and his published
works on this subject include: THE
Discovery OF America" THE American,
Revolution The Critical Periodsof
American History" and 1.-THE Bekifis
nings of New England" He is an In
dependent investigator. going to the
sources of history for his information
and making prominent the great prin-
ciples upon which the development OF
the nation is based. His attitude in
historical study is apt1y shown by the
following quotation from one of his lat
est works: 'In the unfolding of these
events there is poetic beauty and
grandeur. as the purpose of infinite
wisdom reveals itself in it's cosmic pro-
ceses. slowly but inexorobly, hasting
not but resting not, needless of the
clashing aims and discordant cries OF
Short-Sighted mortals, sweeping their
tiny efforts into it's majestic current
and making all contribute to the full
fillment of Gods will" The lecture
which he is to give. .Old and New
Ways of Treating History is one OF !
his best and will afford those who lis
ten to it an evening of intellectual en-
joyment
