FOURTH OF JULY AT PARIS.
American Flag to Fly From Every
Public Building and EifeI Tower.

American Flag to Fly From Every
Public Building and Eiffel Tower.
July at the Paris exhibition will be
the greatest American day ever seen
in Europe. Commissioner General Peck
has given to the New York Journal
the following outline of the plans pre-
pared for the celebration:
Exactly at noon on July the lar
geet American flag ever made Will be
unfurled from the top of the Eiffel
tower. Its folds will be released to the
breeze by President Mckinley pressing
an electric button in the White House.
The current will flash under the Allan
tic to the top of the tower. The differ
ence in time will require the president
to perform the ceremony at o'clock
in the morning, Washington time.
1.-THE American flag will also float
that day from the top of every public
building in Paris, andNall the boats on
the Seine will carry it. Hundreds of
thousands of stars and stripes will be
seen everywhere in Paris, and greet
ings will be exchanged between the
presidents of France and the United
States.
Another historical ceremony the
same day will be the unwilling of the
statue of Lafayette, presented by the
American people to France. The best
representatives of both republics will
speak. 1t will be a great day for
America in Europe"
The American sections of the Paris
exhibition are further advanced than
those of any other country. With
most of the buildings scarcely COM
pleted, practically no interior work has
been done by the other nations in the
respective departments. America will
be the only one ready for the opening
on April IA The reason is that 3OO
American workmen have been brought
over specially to rush everything as
fast as possible. The way they make
things fly is astonishing the European
workmen, while American energy
tricks of trade and individual resources
under every disadvantage are giving
surprising results.

Raymond Resigned.

Saturday afternoon the proceedings OF
the board of regents OF the State Unlver-
sity were made public. The full text Of
DR.. Raymond's letter was made public,
and it was announced that it was laid on
the table without further action.
1t will be acted upon at the June meet
ing. when the committee which consists
of Regents Brown. Mcmahon and Stur-
giss, appointed to look into the matters
relating to the present and future rela-
tionshp of Profs. Armstrong, Brown,
lanes S. Stewart and Douthat and Dr.
Hactigan TO the University, recommended
for dismissal by the the President, will re-
port. Upon the report of this committee
depends the action of the board in regard
to the acceptance or rejection OF President
Raymonds resignation OF the commit
tee, Mcmahon and Sturgiss are credited
with being favorable to Raymond, while
Brown is said to be opposed to him.
The resignation of DR.. Raymond was
rendered to take effect at the end of
The spring quarter, June IL, 1900. 1t was
rather warm in tone, and in effect empha-
sized the charges made against the qun-
tette of professors. The text of DR.. Ray
mond's resignation was as follows;
Gentlemen hereby place in your
hands my resignation of the presidency of
the West Virginia University. | am NOV
ed to do so, and thus give up some OF
the most deeply cherished hopes of my
life, because | see no prospect of final sue
cess in my work. 1t is impossible to
build up a university save on the basis Of
sound morals and sound scholarship with
the generous COO, Grafton of those engag-
ed in the work | have asked the re-
moval of certain men known to you and
to me and to the community at large to
be grossly deficient in one or all of these
regards. This demand your honorable
board has refused to grant for reasons
which cannot deem sufficient. there
fore ask you to relieve me of the respon-
sibilty for the conduct of the university,
this act to take effect June I'll, 1900.
Very respectfully,
JEROME H. RAYMOND.
DR.. RAYMOND handed this letter of res
ignation to the board when the commit
tee was appointed to report on the rec
concentrations of dismissal of the profess
sors against whom he had preferred
charges.
The result of these complications is
that the situation is still cloudy. If the
committee reports favorably on the propo-
sltion to dismiss the men President Ray
mond will withdraw his resignation. If
contrary action is taken, it will be ac-
cepted.

for villagers to turn out and wonder what
would be the next improvement in loco
motion. OF the 81 years OF his service

Cumberland yard last November

his life and Engineer George Kinde was
badly injured. Captain Green was thrown

Easter Holiday.

The City School Board met in regular
semi-monihly session in the Second
Ward building Monday. About the only
thing done was the passing Of number of
bills and the providing for an Easter holi-

for sometime.

been having weeks spring vacation early

and give the schools holiday on Good
Friday and Easter Monday. The schools

SOUTH AFRICAN NATIVES.
Missionary Says They Wou1d Aid
England Against the Beers.


England has never attempted TO
disarm the Zulus, Basutos or the Ma
shonas. She realizes their power"
This remark was made in the course
of an interview with the Rev. Charles
S. Morris, colored, who is at his home
In West Newton, near Boston, having
just returned from South Africa,
where he went year ago as Baptist
missionary. Mr.. Morris was pastor
Of the Myrtle Street Baptist church,
West Newton, five years, resigning
last spring 50 that he might devote his
time to missionary work. In recent
interview with a representative of the
St Louis Globe-Democrat Mr. Morris
gave some interesting facts concerning
the different tribes in South Africa
among whom he labored.
Il left this country on June % of
last year." said Mr.. Morris, land went

town | baptized the leaders of

After that | went about instructing
them in Baptist doctrines and visiting
their homes.
From Cape Colony l went to Natal
and was there at the outbreak of the
war. In this connection | might say
that. while do not care to express any
feeling of sympathy for either the
Beers or the English. / do believe the
natives are of a loyal spirit toward
the British. In Basutoland the tribes
there were anxious to descend into the
Orange Free State and attack the
Beers. They appealed time and time
again to the paramount magistrate
that they might be permitted to dc
this.
For this very reason the Beers have
always left the base of the Basuto-
land mountains well guarded, fearing
the Zulus, Basutos and Mashonas
would descend upon them and attack
the Orange Free State inhabitants.
This was Englands trump card, you
know, and, if played, would have been
effectual in her interests. England
has never attempted to disarm these
three tribes | have referred to. 1t

natives, almost to man, would fight
for the English The attitude of these
tribes Is explained easily England is
by no means perfect, yet it has treated
the natives with much more justice
than have the Beers. The latter's
treatment of the natives has been
harsh and even savage. | think it lit
tie wonder that the natives feel kind
lier toward the English"
Continuing, Rev. Mr.. Morris CRITICS
ed the Beers in their treatment of the
natives in their employ. The relation
of master and laborer was not, in his
mind, unlike slavery. The German
missionaries, he said, had often implor
ed the Beers to cease their harsh treat
ment of the natives, that there might
be better opportunities for mission
work.

You Can't
n
Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops ? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are COM
stantiy taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold i'm a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be well supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.

Hon. Francis X S~choonmaker of
New Jersey is electrifying the people
of the state. Those who heard him
four years ago will certainly not miss
the great treat of hearing him again.
His address this year is a liberal po-
litical education. The question of i'm
perialism gives him a broader scope
and he handles the subject in a logi-
cal and convincing manner. He does
not pretend to talk from a partisan
standpoint, but from the standpoint
of a citizen DESTROYS of casting his
ballot in his own interest. The peo-
pie of Cheyenne have the reputation
of being cold toward a political speak
er, but Mr.. Schoonmaker warmed
them up. For an hour and a half they
were spell-bound and when he had
concluded they yelled for more. One
prominent Cheyenne citizen remarked
that he was a travelling political Ii
brary. Mr.. Schoonmaker will address
the people of Laramie Saturday night
at Maennerchor hall.
