Professor Armstrong; Lecture.

Professor Robert A Armstrong de-
livered the fourth and last lecture of
his series on "The Bible as Litera-
ture' at Commencement Hall on yes
terday at 3 o'clock A fair audience
was assembled. The merits Of the
address on "The Ideals of the Bible"
entitled the cultured professor to a
congregation of far greater magni-
tude.
As usual the town people sustained
the lecture and but few students
were in attendance. These four lee
lures would have been of priceless
worth to the great body of students
and the members of the faculty.
On yesterday Professor Armstrong
discussed the ideals of the bible as to
the character of God showing the di-
vine majesty from the standpoints of
his natural attributes and moral per-
fections. In eloquent sentences he
pictured the bible representations of
true manhood, especially mans origi-
nal moral likeness to God, his mag
nif1cent endowments and earthly pos
sibilities and the future splendor of
his Immortality of beatitude. He dis
cussed the ideals of the bible in rela-
tion to the seige of universal peace
among nations, its high standard of
individual rights, the glory of the
Jewish republic before Christ was
born, the humanity of its laws, and
the beneyolence of its communities to
the poor and the oppressed. The con-
clusion of the lecture was an impressive
portrayal of the life and character
of Jesus Christ, the solitary faultlesS
and perfect ideal OF true manhood,
and worthy of imitation by all from
the standpoint of his lofty human
virtues, and beside whom the world s
noblest historical meh appear as un-
worthy of comparison. Professor
Armstrong deserves the gratitude OF
the public for these four able and
instructive addresses.

BAD FINISH.
Hot Contest Ended by Seneca
Falling Down.

Very Warm Contest up Until the
Eighth Inning-Seneca Then Began
to Make Errors and the Varsity Re-
serves Piled up Runs-Great Excite
ment Mt the Start-Seneca has Good
Promise OF Success.
Seneca and the Second team had
one of the warmest arguments Satur-
day afternoon for seven innings that
has ever been seen on the local grounds.
The score was tie two or three times
and the partisans of the two clubs
rooted like Indians in the effort To
have them win out. The excitement
was very intense.
Then came the break. w. V. V.
reserves had been having very hard
row to hoe when they began to make
runs and Seneca began to make err
rors Both of these piled up and the
Seneca boys began To lose their grip.
Eleven runs were made in the eighth
before the run getting was stopped
and Seneca was unable To score in her
half OF the ninth leaving them four
teen to three TO the bad.
The game put up by the Seneca
boys was much better than they have
been playing aud with practice they
have rattlng good team. They
have no time TO get off and have to
do what they can when they are in a
game, At other times they have to
do their practice after work hours and
this is not conducive of the best re-
suits.
However they have fine lot OF
players and will have first class
team before the season is over Lew
ellen and McWhorter of the Univer-
sitv team may finish the season with
them, Selby another pitcher will be
with them and they will be strength
ened in several ways.
The batteries on Saturday were
Printz aud Peck and Dis and Rosen-
merkle. Seneca has a game with I'M
| iontown on the Fourth Of July and
will take a very large crowd down
I there for that game. They will be
greatly strengthened up and will go
into the field with a hot aggregation.

One of our readers has declared
he could not vote for the railroad,
as the tax would fall on the poor
people in the shape Of higher rent,
forgetting that rents would only 90
up when plenty Of work brought in
more people, and created demand
for more houses, and that this de
mand would be speedily supplied
by capital, and so reduce rents to a
reasonable rate But further fact
is forgotten. 1t is easier TO pay a
high rent with work plenty and
wages high, than smaller rent
with no work, or low wages. AS Mr..
Lincoln once said, with lots of com
mon sence. 1T is easier to pay big
debt if YOU have the money, than a
little debt if you have no money"
Don't forget that, when you vote for
the railroad, and lots of money,
plenty of work and good wages
will follow.

reasonable conclusion that it will

Will it pay us to vote the railroad
subscription? Yes, because for
our money, which we shall only
pay in instalment Of $2,250 year
for the first five years, and $5,250
for the 9th year, and then in re
duced sums annually for IA years,
we shall get back in money at once
about $4,000 expended in work and
material. We shall get the railroad,
and we shall get $4,000 in preferred
5% dividend bearing stock. We
shall have a great increase in popu-
lation, in new enterprises giving en-
ployment to many people and profit

More Facts about the Railroad Sub.
scription.

Do you think a man is very much
in favor of the railroad who asks
damages at the rate of $4,000 per
mile for % foot right of way?
Do you think it is just, or fair, or
reasonable to appeal to passion or
or prejudice, or personal jealousy or
dislike in order to make a vote
against the railroad?
Ought not the railroad question to
be settled on its merits, as bust
ness proposition? If it will bring
the greatest good to the greatest
number and work no hardship to
any, ought it not to carry?
Everyone admits the very great
advantage, indeed absolute necessi-
ty, of railroads to the prosperity OF
every community. We must have
them, or get left in the race fol-
prosperity. If others will not build
our roads we must help ourselves.
and help build.
This is our only chance. 1t is
useless to look elsewhere. 1t is now
or never
Morgantown is on the crest of the
wave, on the highest tide, with evi-
dent signs of its receding. Nothing
will keep us moving upward and on
ward except additional railroads
and manufactures. The former will
bring the latter.

A Thing of Beauty

AS monument of patience, we
have, just had the pleasure of
Examining what Mrs. j. w. Col
ledge, the artist, is pleased to call a
stamp plate. 1t is a white china
dish decorated with red and blue
silk ribbon around the rim, the
bowl of the plate, however, con-
tains a lesson in patience and
handwo:k rarely met with in these
days of rush. The ordinary two
cent cancelled postage stamps
furnished all the material. In the
center is a heart composed entirely
of the figures ., this is surrounded
by the oblong head and bust of
Washington while outside of this
is a daintiiy arranged border COM
posed of the half circles contain
ing the words United States
postage.
So neat and regular is the work
manship, that a casual observer
might think it was machine stamp
ed as with all china ware. To be
fully appreciated one must neces-
sarily see the piece of work in
person. 1t is a study that the
young ladies of today might
undertake with good effect.
