The many friends Of Bethany Col

FINANCES.
The financial situation is brighter
than it has been foryears. Last June
the treasurer and chairman Of the Elk
ecntive committee, Hon. W. IT.. Gra-
ham Of Pittsburg, reported that SOL, :
000 had been added to the endowment
of the College. Three months have
passed and now comes the report
from one Of the trustees that $27, 500
has been raised on a second $50, 000
There can be no doubt but that $780,,
900 will be raised by next June. A
floating Indebtedness against the col
lege has been cared for by returns
from an estate in Seotlond TO which
the college fell heir Prospects are
again frightened by the fact that a
number of productive oil wells have
been struck in close proximity to 100
acres OF land owned by the school in
Tennessee. All this puts the college
on a sound financial basis and gives
great assurance for the future.
NEW PRESIDENT.
The fact that SO able a man as Rev.
t. E. CrambIett of Pittsburg, has
bean secured as president has caused
general satisfaction. The new presi-
dent was the very successful pastor of
the East End Christian Church OF that
city for five years.
Rev. Cramblett was born in Ohio
in 1862 and at the age of sixteen years
entered the Ohio State University at
Columbus, and later Mt. Union col
lege at Alliance, Ohio. At the latter
university he was graduated with
highest honors in 1885. He after
wards took graduate work at Ken
lucky university, dividing the honors
Of the class Of 1887 with j. B. Sweeny
now Chancellor of Add Ran Uniyer-
sity in Texas. He is thus eminently
fitted for the position from scholar
ly standpoint.

Of that indefatigable explorers labors
during the last two years. While he
has not yet succeeded in reaching the
pole, his achievements are consider
able and satisfactory. His greatest
success consists IN having discovered

of the Greenland archipelago. which
is also the most northerly known land
in the world. He has called the island
Melville Land, and expresses the belief
that there is no land anywhere lying
nearer the pole. With pardonable
