MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Impressive Services Held in
Commencement Hall on
Sunday Afternoon

DR.. Raymond Presided and Introduced
the Speakers whO::SDoke on Behalf Of
number Of OrganizatiOns-W. &.
Clemens and j. G. whitman who haye
recently died commemorated by their
Classmates and Teachers Profs.
Wiley and Armstrong and students
Law, Horn, Hughes, and Dunn deliv-
cred addresses number of peo-
pie present.
Memorial exercises were held in
Commencement Hall on Sunday af-
ternoon in honor of two members of
the University classes who had died
during the last few weeks. One of
these was j. G. Whitman who had
been in attendance on the law school
last year but who had not returned
this session. The other was Senior
W. G. Clemens.
The weather kept great many
people away but the attendance was
very good in spite of it. DR.. Ray
mond presided and introduced the
speakers. He made few remarks
in explanation ofthe meeting stating
in whose memory it was being held.
"Nearer Ny God to Thee was sung
and Rev. A. M. Buchanan led in
prayer.
Prof. Wiley as representative
of the law college was then intro
duced. Prof. Wiley spoke of the
high merit of Mr.. Clemens and of
his rank as a student. j. E. Law
represented the Senior law class and
alluded feelingly to the personal
friendship he had for the deceased.
W. W. Hughes spoke for the Colum
bian Literary Society of which Mr..
Clemens was the president a
the time of his death.
James w. Horn of the regular
Senior law class followed in a very
lender address. Prof. Armstrong;
paper was considered by many to
have been the finest thing of the af-
ternoon. He spoke for the College
of Arts alluding in touching way
to the many excellent qualities and
sad death of Clemens. The paper
brought tears to the eyes of many
and produced very good effect.
Mr.. Dunn of the law school then
spoke for both Mr.. Whitman and
Mr.. Clemens. He spoke Of the
Memorial services which had been
held for others who had lain down
their lives for their country and that
these young men who had just died
had been no less heroes as they had
served their country in a different
way. After singing the hymn,
"Come Thou Fount of Every Bles-
sing" the congregation was dis
missed.
This was the second Memorial
service to be held this year and the
year had witnessed the death Of the
greatest number of students ever
known in the history of the institu
ton. Formerly there has hardly
been death but this session several
have been called to their reward.
The increase in the number of stu
dents enrolled probably has great
deal to do with this.

THE PORTNIGHTLY CLUB.
Hold Their Regular Session on
Friday Night.

Prof. and Mrs. 7. E. Hodges receive
Them-Paper on Evolution read BY
DR.. /. C. White Discussion by Prof.
A. d. Hopkins-Poem Read by DR..
Raym0nd-AlI Present sided with
DIR. White In his Paper-Evolufion
Disbclieved on Account Of Ignorance
Social Hour after Literary Pro-
gram.
From Saturdays Daily.
The regular meeting of the Fort
nightly Club was held last evening at
the delightful home of Prof. and Mrs.
Thos. E. Hodges. In spite OF the
rainy weather, nearly sixty members
were in attendance, and all feel well
repaid for coming. DR.. |. G. White
was the speaker of the evening. His
subject was 'sThe Doctrine Of Eevolu-
tion." He brought out the fact that
all the scholars who have studied the
sciences which have to do with life
forms, are, without exception eyolu
tionists, and showed that the reason
why many people are opposed 10 the
theory of evolution is that they do not
understand it.
DR.. White went carefully into the
story of the earth's geological history,
and with his great wealth of knowl-
edge, was able to paint vivid word
picture of the development of life
forms on the earth's surface. He took
his hearers with him to the lowest
stratum of the water-laid rocks that
form the crust of the earth, and de-
scribed the forms Of plants and ami
mails existing on the earth at the time
this lower stratum was the outside
crust of the earth. He showed the
club that these first forms Of life were
entirely marine forms, as at that time
the whole surface of the earth was COW
cred with water He showed how from
these earliest and lowest forms Of life,
the later and higher forms gradually
evolved, bringing to bear upon the
subject an overwhelming mass Of ar
guments from paleontology, compare
tive embryology and comparative
anatomy. His whole argument
was simple and conclusive.
DIR. Hopkins discussed DR.. Whites
address, and threw many interesting
side-lights upon the discussion. He
took many of his arguments from
insect life with which he is so famil-
lar. He discussed particularly the
cell theory, and illustrated by chart
which he had prepared, the life-his-
tory of the cell, and the branching off
of one species from the earlier or par
ent species.
After the addresses by DR.. White
and DR.. Hopkins, DR.. Raymond, the
president of the club, read most
amusing evolutionary poem entitled
'Similar cases" which set forth in the
strongest light, the objections made
to the evolutionary theory by those
who know nothing about it.
A delightful social half-hour was
then spent discussing the refresh
ments served by the hospitable hostess.
Interest in the club grows, and it is
proving one Of the most potent agen-
cies in bringing together the various
elements in the life of the town.
The next meeting of the club will
be held with Prof. and Mrs. White
hill. The paper will be by Judge
Johnson on Shakespeare's MERCHANT
of Venice" The discussion of the
paper will be by Professor Armstrong,
Prof. Wiley and Mrs. Ong.

English Manufacturers Aroused.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Consul Hal
stead, of Birmingham England, re-
ports to the state department that
there is great awakening going on
among the English manufacturers
over the disastrous possibilities of
American trade competition. A new
trade paper there has met with most
cordial reception, he says and the
news columns of both daily and trade
papers are filed with facts about
American trade while the matter is
given serious editorial discussion,
which in English daily papers means
much more serious consideration than
the same editorial space devoted to a
like subject in the average Ameri-
can newspaper. In last weeks issue
of the particular trade paper referred
to Mr.. Halstead says that fully twelve
900 word columns are devoted to Amer
lean trade matters about one-half
taken from the American consular re-
ports.

A PATHETIC STORY.
Rolling In wealth they could not be
happy-Sad end of once bright
pivI

Rolling in wealth they could not be
happy-Sad end Of a once bright
girl.
A true example that wealth does
not always bring happiness comes to
US from Richie county, in the death
of Mrs. J. P. Eddy. Reared in luxury
and highly educated, she fell in love
with Eddy, young man without re-
sources, and married him against the
wishes OF her parents. Together they
came to Richie county and went to
housekeeping in small cabin on a
rented farm. The young wife adapt
ed herself to the surroundings, and
the couple were supremacy happy
amid haIdships. Together they toll
ed and saved and soon became the
owner Of the farm, still they toiled
and additions were made until the
farm became vast estate, and the
cabin gave way to large and hand
some home. Later it was found that
the Eddy farm was splendid oil terri
tory and wealth poured in upon them
but happiness began to depart.
Troubles ensued, engendered by jeal-
ously, the happy home ties broken,
and both sued for divorce. Upon re-
turning from Huntsville short time
ago, where dispositions were being
taken in her behalf, Mrs. Eddy was
taken i'll, and the next day was suffer-
ing from pneumonia. During all
these years no word had been received
by her from her girlhood home In
Pennsylvania, no loving message had
ever been sent by forgiving parent,
but on the day before her death a let
ter bearing the post mark of her ma
tive town was handed her. 1t was
from prominent attorney a friend of
her youth and contained the intelIi-
gence that her parents were both dead
and In the settlement of the estate
her share was $50, 900. Her death oc-
cured the next day and the riches
pass to others.

PROSPECTS, Good For Next Season.

Smith the famous snake dealer of
near Sang Run this county, who has
made a business of selling the veni-
nous species of rattle snakes found in
this county, was in town one day last
week and gave US short interview
He thinks the prospects in his line for
next season are good. Smith has
shipped rattlers to all parts of the
Union and has visited many of the
state fairs in nearby states and exhib-
tied large cases of these dangerous
reptiles. The unconcerned manner
and GOODNESS with which he handles
and manages these horrible snakes is
remarkable and he has received but
one bite from them and that occurred
two years ago, when the snakes were
on exhibition here.-Oakland (Md.)

more than likely fail.
A bill has been introduced into the
legislature to abolish the preparatory
department of the University here.
The bill was proposed by Mr.. John w.
Davis of Harrison county. In refer
ence to the bill the following two par
agraphs have appeared in the Charles
ton Gazette:
An important measure introduced
was the bill of J. w. Davis to abolish
the preparatory department of the
university. AS indicated in the Ga
zette some days ago the impression
prevails among great many people
that the preparatory department is
unnecessary, that 1t is drawing too
heavily from the normal schools,
which being distributed over the
State are better suited for the prepar-
atory instruction of the youth of both
sexes, and that the standing of the
university would be raised by separa-
ting the preparatory department from
the university. The bill will meet
with great deal of opposition.
The proposition to abolish the pre-
paratory department of the State uni
versity, as introduced by Mr.. Davis
Of Harrison, will no doubt provoke
serious opposition, as the bill, if pass
ed, will carry with it the adjustment
of the preparatory branch at Mont
gomery, in Fayette county. The
State having just completed a SUBJ
stantial building at Montgomery and
equipped it for carrying on primary
institution for the university, it is
not likely that the legislature would
be ready now to discontinue the school
and put this building in idleness.
People here are of the opinion that
the bill is too premature. Some day
the time will come when it should be
done but that time has not yet arriy-
ed. When it does come the Universi-
ty will be the first to ask for it.
Until it does come outsiders who do
not understand the situation here
should allow those who do to manage
1T.
1t could hardly be possible however
that all the preparatory departments
including the one at Montgomery
would have to go even If the bill were
to pass. Such course would be very
foolish and that is not in accordance
with the record Mr.. Davis has made
in the House up until now.
The friends of the University will
very actively fight it and they hope
to defeat it as they did once before on
the ground that the move is proposed
too soon for the good Of the state and
for the good of the institution. The
advocates of the bill are making
claims and charges which they can
not sustain and this will hurt the
chance of the measure.
