The End of a Lone confros,sr.y

The controversy raised by the late
hev. John Jasper of Richmond, Va.
who declared in his lifetime that the
sun do move" is at last in shape for
a final decision. The colored Baptists
of Mount Calvary church in that city
have since Jasper's death become sore
ly divided on this momentous question.
The majority have held firmly to the
orthodox Jasperian doctrine, but mi
nority, led by Brother R. d. Smith, de-
scribed as "a leading member OF the
church." have gradually grown bold
enough to assert that the earth re-
wolves around the sun, and not the
sun around the earth. TIC restore peace

GREAT INDIAN RuNNER.

One of the greatest runners of the
day is a Ute Indian, Jerry Pierce, who
is said to be possessed of speed like
unto that of the great Deerfoot. In a
recent contest at Boston the Indian
gave an exhibition of his great run
ming powers in a three-mile race,
which he won from Dick Grant, the
champion at that distance The pace
from the start was fast one and at
two miles all the contestants save
Grant and Pierce dropped out. Hall
lap from the finish Grant quit and
the Indian won in a walk. He was
apparently as fresh as when he started
and appeared able to run three miles
more.

Professor Tri&6s. Poets.

The New York Times Review de-
scribes Professor Triggs as a "me
chanical engineer applied to litera-
ture."
The force of this phrase is evident
when one recalls Professor Triggs' de-
finition of a poet as "a maker" "a
generic name for all who create" To
make his meaning still clearer the
university professor says: "a thous-
and others besides Mr.. Rockefeller
might be mentioned as showing the
direction of the social energy" and he
instances as poets STORY and Mar
shall in the courts of law, and Mrs.
Eddy in the realm of religion"
For his authority in the use of the
word poet, Professor Triggs opens his
biggest Greek dictionary and shows to
the illiterate that the word poet" or
riginally meant maker" and that
Plato in his Republic" speaks of the
poet of the bed, and Sophocles OF the
poet of the living, but even among the
Greeks the word began to differentiate
in meaning and the maker of verses
was emphatically the poet, says a
Chicago writer.
AS instructor of English in an Eng
disappearing university. Professor
Triggs is in duty bound to give to his
pupils the latest and most approved
forms of speech. not the most antigua
ted. 1t savors of pedantry to bring
ont rnuStv meanings and n4rade them
as applicable to the thought of today
when in reality there is no possible
adaptation. q
1t would matter little what Triggs
thinks or what Triggs says IL 1t were
not that he occupies a position OF
trust and is under some obligation to
deal with his students in sincerity and
not according to individual whim and
caprice.

THE MEDAL wEARER.

Two commercial travellers, one from

were discussing the weather in their
respective countries. The Englishman
said that English weather has one
great fault--its sudden changes
"A person may take walk some
day." he said, "attired in a light sum-
mer suit, and still feel quite warm.
Next day he needs an overcoat."
That's nothing" said the Ameri-
can; my two friends, Johnson and
Jones, were once having an argument.
There were eight or nine inches of
snow on the ground. The argument
got heated and Johnson picked up a
SNOWFALL and threw it at Jones from
distance Of not more thar five yards
During the transit of the SNOWFALL, be-
lieve me or not, just as you like, the
weather suddenly changed and became
hot and Summertime and Jones, in
stead of being hit with a SNOWFALL was
