Prof. o. Il. Morgan, thealleged, here
tic who was tried before the trustees of
Drake university last April and trans
ferred from the theological department
to the chair of Hebrew and Greek Ian
guages, has been removed from the
faculty and institution altogether by
the trustees.
General Francis M. Drake, former
governor of Iowa and founder of the
university, presided at the meeting and
seemingly strongly favored the removal
of Morgan, who has denied the inspira-
ton of the Bible. He acknowledged
that the Bible was the history of an in
spired or noble people, but denied its
divine authority as book. When the
trustees met in April the affair reached
a crisis among the students, who bad
taken sides and published anonymous
statements on both sides. Morgan was
very popular with large majority of
the students, and some of the trustees
and faculty greatly admire him, SO he
was retained, with a change .of work
and an increased salary. a.
General Drake says he has been re.
moved not particularly on account OF
his views but because he has carried
the controversy into the denomination
al papers of the Christian church, and
has been writing freely on his side of
the question, encouraging students to
depart from the established creed.
There is division of.opinion among
friends of the college on the result OF
the trustees action, but it is generally
accepted as more sharply defining the
sectarian character of the school, invit
ing orthodox students and not more
liberal ones.
Professor Morgan, who is only 81
years of age, will complete some worl
in the University of Chicago and entel
the ministry.-Des Moines Telegram

WILLIAM wIRT's ROMANCE.
Col. Dick Thompson Tells How the Lawyer
Reformed and Won a Bride.

Reformed and Won a Bride.
When former Secretary Of the Navy
Richard w. Thompson saw the story
which Is being widely printed about
the reformation Of William Writ, At
torney- General OF the United States,
he recalled that It was far different
from the truthful one he used to hear
at Culpepper Court House. Va, where
he was born ninety years ago last
June, and where Writ, a young man,
began the practice of law The pub
lished story is to the effect that
young lady, while out riding near
Richmond, saw a young man lying
drunk at the side of the road. She
left her carriage and placed a hand
kerchief over his face and then con-
tinued her ride. Some days later the
young man called on her, having found
her name on the handkerchief. He told
her that he had signed the pledge.
he kept the pledge and rose to be
famous man.
Colonel Thompson says that Writ
undoubtedly was an excessive drlnker
when he was a young man. On one
occasion while on his way to attend
court at Charlottesville he saw con
gregation assembled in a church and
stopped to hear the preaching. The
preacher was blind man named Wad-
dell, whom Writ described in his book,
1.-THE British Spy" in eloquent Ian
guage. A DR.. Gllmer, who lived near
by, saw that Mr.. Writ was a stranger
and asked him to have dinner Mr..
Writ became infatuated with the doc
tors daughter, Miss Mildred, who was
woman Of rare conversational abil-
lty. He called frequently and finally
asked Miss Gllmer to marry him. She
replied:
mr.. Writ, / am unwilling to conceal
the fact that l entertain for you 8
strong attachment. You are man OF
brilliant parts and have it in your
power to reach high distinction, but
can never consent to become the wife
Of a drunkard If you will promise me
that you will not drink drop of spir
itous liquor for two years and keel
your promise, will consent to marry
you at the end of that time" He made
and kept the promise, and Miss Gil
mer fulfilled her part of the bargain
too.

Of his legal contention, but l remem
Der well his polished manner and hi
