CHER and James Devine, yesterday visited
the residence of Mrs Potter at 3632
Nineteenth street and after representing
that they were gas inspectors, entered the

Commerce has also been offered to the
gentlemen, and the offer is now under
consideration. The mission of the asso-
citation is to collect data and information
regarding the soil, climate and natural
resources of the different localities Of the
United States, and the judgment of the
learned gentlemen is worth more to home
seekers than all of the local literature
printed.
Some idea Of the association may be
obtained from a perusal of the names OF
the officers, all of whom are well known
in the field Of science, particularly that

TnrIand,a Medal of Honor.

The Victoria Cross is a Maltese
cross of bronze, with the royal crest
in the centre, and underneath scroll
bearing the simple inscription, For
Valor."
1t is to be won only by some signal
act of valor in the presence OF the
enemy, and the winners, whether they
be generals, admirals, privates or
humble stokers, are all placed upon
equality, so far as the honor OF the
decoration is concerned. Neither long
service nor wounds nor any other cir
cumstance or condition whatsoever,
save the merit of conspicuous bravery,
is held to establish sufficient claim to
the honor.
Where the deed was the combined
act, so to speak, of detached body OF
not less than fifty, the decoration will
be conferred, when all are deemed
equally praiseworthy, upon one officer,
one petty officer or non-commlssloned
officer and two seamen or private SOL
diers, who shall be nominated by their
companions of the occasion as being
most deserving Of the decoration.
In the cases of all but commissioned
officers, each Y. G. man shall be en-
titled to a special pension of ten
pounds year, and for each additional
bar afterwards won, an additional pen
sion of five pounds per annum.

WHGTSITTS SUCCESSOR
Dr.J. q. Greene Elected President OF south
ern Baptist Seminary.

Louisville. DR. ]. p. Greene, pro
fessor of William Jewell College OF
Missouri, was elected to the presiden-
cy of the Southern Baptist Seminary
of this city at the meeting of the
board of trustees of that institution
Saturday morning at Norton Hall.
His unanimous election is due in d
great measure to the withdrawal Of
DR. F. f. Kerfoot, who, in letter
to the board, requested that his name
should not appear as a candidate for
the office
This election is very clearly a success
for the Whitsitt faction, DR., Greene
having been~a candidate friendly to
both sides in the controversy. but sup
ported especially by the Whtisittites in
their effort to defeat DR.. Kerfoot. DR.
Greene, DR.. Kerfoot and Prof. j. X.
Sampev Of this city were among the
only strong candidates for the place
DR.. Kerfoot's letter was received
with evident approval by the members
of the board, and his action in declln-
ing to permit his name to appear as a
candidate was highly commended.
The board adjourned shortly after
noon to meet again at 3 O'Clock, at
which time DR.. Greene was brought
before the board to accept or decline
the position to which the election emit
tied him. In a neat speech of thanks
he laid before them his position, and
requested that they permit him to go to
his home and consider the matter be
fore he gave his answer. This was al
lowed him, and the board will be mott
fed of his decision later on.
