Preliminary Debating Contest.

The annual preliminary debating
contest, held to determine who
should make up the teams which
are to represent this college in the
coming intercollegiate debates, was
held i'll the auditorium last Satur-
day evening.
1t had been arranged that out of
the contestants for position, six
were to be chosen. OF these, IN the
order in which they ranked, num-
bers one, three and FIVE were to
make one team, and numbers two.
four and six the other, in case that
debates with both Whitman and T..
OF .. can be arranged for, as we
hope they can. In case that only
one contest is held, the team will be
made UP of numbers one, two and
three. By this system the debating
forces of the college will beas nearly
evenly arranged as TO strength as i,
possible.
The following ten gentlemen en-.
tered the contest Messrs. French
J. B. Cordiner, Luce, Melhart Cobb

Lewis, Adams and Hardwick.

Lewis, Adams and Hardwick.
The event was a most pleasant
and successful one i'll every way,
and the careful arrangement of ev-
cry detail, and success of the occas-
ion are largely due to the efforts of
President Cordiner of the Oratorical
Association, and the members of the
Faculty committee, who have had
the oversight of the debate in charge.
The subject was sub-divided into
five different parts, and each part
was assigned to two speakers, who
represented the affirmative and neg
alive views. Ten minutes was al
lowed each speaker for his opening
speech, and five minutes for re-
buttal. The judges, Messrs. Bur
gan, Welty and Chapman, were I'M
known to the speakers until after
the contest. They made their de-
cisions on a scale of percentages.
Peter Brown occupied the chair,
and Messrs. Kruegel and Webb act
ed as t1me-keeperS.
The contest was a most interest
ing and instructive one, and an in
tense degree of interest was mani
tested by the audience. After all
the contestants had delivered their
arguments, the decisions were an
nounced, giving the winners rank
as follows: Messrs. Adams, Lewis,
]. B. Cordiner, Cobb, Morrison and
Hardwick,
For the last four places, the issue
OF the contest was very close, giving
only four or five per cent difference
between the speakers, and had to be
awarded by calculating the per-
centages. The winners are to be
congratulated OH their success, and
carry into the contest the best wish
es OF the college. May they by
proving themselves to be the best
men, win telling victories in the
coming acknowledgement.

RED CLOVER.

Glover, however, is the greatest
of all fertilizing plants. A crop
of clover taken from the land,
while it abstracts some of the
elements needed for plant growth,
yet, in increasing the content of
nitrogen. gives back to the soil much
more of value than it takes away.
DR.. Kedzie says "clover hay or sod
contains enough phosphoric acid for
more than double an average crop,
enough nitrogen for more than four
average crops and enough potash for
six average crops of wheat"
The analysis of red clover indi-
Gates what manures would increase
its growth. Sulphate of lime or
land plaster, the phosphates. wood
and coal ashes are all excellent top.
dressings for the clover field. Com
mon stable manure, containing as it
does all the elements of good fer
tilizer, is suitable as q topdressing
for any pasture or meadow.
The application of the sulphate of
lime on limy or sandy soils is found
to largely increase the growth of
clover. When used on wheat field,
seeded to clover, in early spring a
"catch" of clover will be secured on
the thinnest spots, and it will grow
lnxuriantly after such top dressing.
The greatest benefits from an appli-
cation Of commercial fertilizers upon
wheat are often obtained in this way.
A good stand of clover, however
secured, is the best possible prepara-
ton of land for succeeding crop of
wheat.
AS clover derives large percent
age of the constituents necessary to
its growth from the atmosphere, it is
all-important that there should be a
good top growth. It's value as a
renovator of the soil depends largely
upon the quantity of the roots, and
the roots will always be proportioned
to the quantity of foliage. For this
reason it is better to cut clover of
than to feed it of. A writer in the

SAVED FROM EATING HUMAN
FLESH.

A story of death from starvation
in the Agiapuk mining district was
brought from Alaska by passengers
on the steamer Centennial, and as a
result of forty-tbree days of unpar-
alleled hardship, George Dean, a
miner is dead, and his two compan-
ions, Jack Houston and Joseph T..
Thiery are at deaths door. Houston
will probably recover, but there is
little hope that Thiery's life will be
saved.
Added to the story of starvation is
horrible tale that in their despera-
tion Houston and Thiery severed
the thigh of their dead campanion
from his body, and were cooking it
when help arrived and saved them
from practicing cannibalism.
The men had been in Good Hope
country prospecting. On June 9TH
they started for Nome by way of
Agiapuk River. Before they reached
Teller City their provisions gave out,
and hunger compelled them to eat
grass, birds eggs and anything they
could find. Dean left letter, part
ly written, bidding his family, who
live In Canton, Ohio, farewell. He
was a member of the Masonic order.
Thiery is from Davenport, Iowa, and
Houston was formerly mate on the
Yukon River boat Sovereign.

TROUBLES GALORE.

An enterprising young merchant
of Heathsville and a friend did hire
buggy on Sunday week. They
drove few miles out in the country,
where, for the time being, reside two
charming young ladies-the prettiest
in all the country around. Securing
another vehicle, each one with girl
set out for camp. They spent a
very pleasant evening there and
heard DE-. Bransford preach a fine
sermon.
But, 10; a cloud arose in the west,
the night was as impenetrable to sight
as brick wall. They left the camp
and hadn't gone far before one of
the horses began to turn around, but
the front vehicle went on. Something
was wrong, for the driver pulled
hard, but each time he saw the
bride come nearer to him. He got
out and found the bit was broken.
He could do nothing but lead that

THE MAN WITH THE PEN.

Yet the symbol of both is bottle of ink
For with prowess unmeasured-with

The man with the pen is the two rolled
In one.
He rules like monarch, he tolls like a
slave,
And the rest that he dreams of he finds
In the grave.
When the man with the pen takes the
orders to think,
And swears his allegiance to paper and
ink,
He parts with all pleasures that other
men find
In the fair world sbou: him--his realm is
the mind.
Oh, wonderful realm is that region, 1
know,
Where the thoug ht- flowers bloom and
idea-plants grow,
But nowhere In serfdom do laborers toll,
With the pick in the mines, or the hoe
in the soil
Like the slave monarch, gathering
thoughts out OF space
To aid and amuse and enlighten the race.
The king has distractions, the slave has
his rest,
But the serf-monsrch's sleep is dream
haunted quest
For ideas-snd all the distraction he
knows
Is weaving new garments of words for
old woes.
New garbs for old sorrow, new names
for old sin,
Aud setting new goals for spent run

His days are as night, and his nights are

Through respite or slumber, he hears the

And sweeps all before 1t; and back out

CHINCOTEAGUE PONY PENNING.
Event Is Gala Occasion Among Is
land People.


The annual pony penning on AS
soteague and Chincoteague Islands
was held not long since. These
events occur annually and are holi-
days of Importance to the resident is
of the islands, and thousands of peo-
pie from the mainland-Maryland
and Virginia = make the trip to
witness the events.
Ex-Gov. O'Ferrall visited the ISL
ands on one occasion and talked in
terestingly of the splendid hospital
ity: "The ponies have been on the
island since the discovery of the ISL
and. No man knows how they got
there. They are allowed to run
wild. Regularly the first week in
August the pennings are held, the
ponies being rounded up and brand
ed. The mares are all branded, and
the colts are also branded, and in
that way it is an easy matter for
the owners to keep track of their
stock. The animals are about four
feet in height, wiry, hardy and have
remarkable powers of endurance.
They find ready sale at from $75 to
$3.50 each, and are easily broken
and very gentle. The people come
from far and near, and the occasion
is one Of rare enjoyment. On the
island is an excellent band of music,
and there is singing and dancing
and paying court by the young men.
No liquor is sold on the island, and
there is no disorder. Persons who
have violated the law once never
have desire or temerity to face the
Governor a second time"
The Governor related an expert
ence on Tangier Island, and as q
result of one of his speeches the
island changed politics. and instead
of going Republican, as usual, il
switched over and has been solidly
Democratic. The islands are in the

ARTHUR PUE GoRMAN.
Gratefully Remembered for His
Great Services TO Country and
Party.
(AtIanta Constitu.ion.)

(AtIanta Constitutional
The announcement that Arthur
Pue German will De candidate for
the senatorship from the State of
Maryland comes as no surprise, for
he is easily one Of the most impor-
tant Democratic leaders Of the
country.
Mr.. German has enemies. he
made them in the defence of De-
mocracy. While at times he has
had to differ with his brethren as TO
party policies, he has always been a
true party man. His defeat was
compassed in the defeat Of the Dem
ocratic party itself, and his reappear-
ance upon the field of activity is due
to a revival of the Democracy of his
State.
During bis senatorial career Mr..
German stood as one of the most dis
tinguished members of that body.
He had the ability to cope with the
most willy of his adversaries, and in
a critical moment he saved the
Union from the passage of a law
which would hsYe made an Ireland
out of the South. In doing this he
rendered the whole nation a dis
tinguished service. When Maryland
fell unfortunately into the hands of
Republicapism, and an effort was
made to perpetuate this condition
by fraudulent Federal census, it
was Mr.. German who led in the
fight for fair count, conducted un-
der State auspices. This resulted
in reversal of the plans of those
who had conspired against the true
interests of the State.
As natural result, Mr. German
has again become the standard-bear-
er of his party, and if the people Of
Maryland should re-elect him, they
will have in the United States SEN
