for the Philippines. They were to be
graduates, and were to receive 81, 600
a year. Later, the authorities at
Washington wired DR.. Atkinson that
he would have to pay $1,000 in order
to secure tie required number of men,
DR.. Atkinson wired his assent. AS
result, the lists Of volunteers from
the different colleges were consulted
again, and the number required select
ed from those who, because of inferior
scholarship or other reasons, Lad been
rejected the first time.
Consequently there are men of the
highest standing from Harvard, Cor
nell and other schools receiving ST.,
900, and classmates who got their
degrees on pass marks receiving ST.,
200. AS business transaction it is
sound. but it savors of the kind that
is tranacted behind the sign Of the
three balls.
The same method was pursued in
hiring the married women who had
come without appointments, but who,
on arriving, had decided to teach.
Those without experience were given
$500, and, when their services could
not be secured for this amount, they
were given 81, 900 and cautioned to say
nothing about it.
Two graduates of the university of
Virginia. who had been foolish enough
to accept 5000, when they learned that
not only the most of college graduates,
but also men who hailed from no uni
versity, college or normal school under
the sun, who never taught, who spent
their nights on the boat in gambling
and whose morality is the essence
of immortality, were receiving
81, 600, very Justly refused to teach,
and went into the city for work. AS
even mule drivers are paid at the rate
of 5000 year, and white labor is in
great demand, they will doubtless be
able to get on until they find a more
lucrative occupation than that of
teaching Filipinos.
Now that we are on the ground and
see the true nature of the undertaking,
it is only too evident that the auShori-
ties at Washington have gone hlindly
about the business and know nothing
of the real difficulties that the teach
ers will have to face. To send young
ladies, many of whom come from the
best Of homes, into the wilderness, to
live, practically as savages, with ali
communication with the outside world
cut off, is something to daunt even
the bravest heart, and surely will not
be allowed to continue when the Amer
lean people know the facts Of the case.
These 800 teachers, when they
argeed to come to the Philippines,
trusted wholly to the authorities,
taking it for granted that nothing un-
reasonable would be expected of them.
The menl in charge of the educational
department here, though they see the
grave difficulties that await us, are
powerless. OF course, they dare not
advise US to refuse to 60 to our duties,
but they have broadly limited that this
seems to be the only way out of the
difficulty.

Teachers in the Philippines.

Bradford K. Daniels, writing from
Manila. under date of September 4,
to the Boston Herald, says in part
The 800 teachers that arrived here
on the United States transport Thomas
are quartered in the exposition bar
racks. 1t is the rainy season, and all
about US is one great marsh, without
drainage of any kind, and our bamboo
huts are standing over pools of water,
on the surface OF which myriads of
mosquitoes are Matching. We are pro-
vided with towels, basin. pail, two
sheets, blanket, mosquito netting,
and a bed made of bamboo covered
with mattress-like quilt, the whole
being as soft as the average Boston side
walk.
1t was jolly company that crossed
the Pacifc-speeches, music, fine
dresses, firtations, and all the pleas
ant thing of long voyage. When the
crowd saw their quarters they looked
sober; when they had to spend one
night there they began to complain
mildly about the deceptions practised
upon them by Uncle Sam.
Why did he not tell them. they ask
ed, that living expenses are very high.
and That those going to distant parts
of the islands would be obliged to
purchase, at exorbitant rates, six
months provisions, bedding, cooking
utensils, clothing, etc, in Manila,
and that they are likely to be denied
commissary privileges? A cooking

"Lord, Kindly Light. "

In reprinting below Cardinal New
mans famous hymn, which is said to
have been one OF Presiens McKinley's
favorites, the Indianapolis Journal has
given the version used in Lyra
Anglicana, hymnal Of sacred poetry
published by the Appletons in 1865.
The difference is in the first line only
-"Lord, Kindly Light but it is an
important difference, the opening
word adding force which the invoca-
ton otherwise lacks. It is presuma-
bly the form in which the line came
from Newman's pen, though the other
has been incorporated in the hymnal
in common use and is the only one
known to most readers. In the "Lyra
Anglicana'' the hymmn is called,
ssThe True Light" and reads thus:
THE TRUE LIGHT.
Lord, Kindly Light, amid the encir-
cling gloom,
Lead Thou me on
The night is dark and I am far from
home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet, do not ask to see
The distant way: one steps enough
for me.
] was not ever thus, nor prayed that
Thou,
Wouldst lead me on;
I loved to see and choose my path, but
now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite OF
Pride ruled my will; remember not
past years.
So long Thy power hath kept me, sure
Will lead me on!
Der moor and fen, Ger crag and tor
rent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces
smile
Which I have loved long since and
lost awhile.

to the rector, wardens and vestry OF
Trinity Parish, some weeks ago, re-

A CAUSE FOR REJOICING.

There are living in this country
quite number of teachers and
other prominent citizens who re-
ceived their education within the
walls of the National Normal
University, at Lisbon, Ohio. All
of these have a very warm place
in their hearts for this famous
institution, and we are sure they
will rejoice to learn that the out
look for the university for he
coming year is very bright indeed.
Many improvements have been
made and faculty has been en-
gagged that is probably superior in
education and in teaching ability
to any that the school has had for
years past. The institution will
have at its head, Prof. J. Oscar
Creager, an experienced educator,
who, after spending several years
in Normal Schools, has taken
special work in the Ohio State
University, in Harvard and in
Yale, receiving from the latter the
degree of A. B. and M. A
Graduates from this institution
can be found in all parts of the
land, engaged in every occupation.
They attribute their we'll recog-
nized success not alone to the
thorough education and practical
common sense equipment which
one is able to obtain at Lebanon,
but also to the energy and spirit
which are instilled into every one
who attends this school.
While the training of teachers
is an important work of the
school, and has given it an envia-
BILE reputation, yet in the many
other departments which are sus-
tanned, young men and women are
prepared by the best methods for
every business and profession.
There is probably not another
school in the land where so many
superior advantages can be had in
the time and for the small amount
of money. The tuition is SIS, per
session or $B8 for the year of AZ
weeks. Good board can be had
for $3.50 per week.
The school is located in the
beautiful town of Lebanon, and
since it was established there in
1866, has trained more than 30, 900
students. To any one seeking an
education we would recommend
this institution. A catalogue can
be had for the asking.

IN MEMORIAM.

Of Mrs. Lula Phillips. the only
and beloved daughter of Mrs. Lucy
Moore, who died July %, 1901,
aged 10 years, 5 months and 9
days. She had been a devoted
Christian and member of the
North Benson Baptist Church fer
six years; had been married but
a short while, and had, for months,
been a constant sufferer from con-
sumption, but her sufferings wei g
borne without murmur. She
was faithful to the very last; was
her mothers Joy, and was su-
premely loved by her husband.
But God kDows hest. He had
prepared a place for her in that
bright world above, and had
called her home. Now she has
crossed over the river to that
bright, celestial sphere. where she
awaits the coming of the dear be-
reaved ones left behind. Her
funeral was conducted by Rev. J.
III. Burdin, after which she was
laid to rest just behind the little
village church, of which she had
been faithful member.
Dearest loved one. we have laid
thee
In the peaceful graves em brace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy lovely face.
We miss thy kind and loving hand,
| Thy fond aud honest care,
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee every where.
One by one our hopes grow brighter
AS we near the shining shore,
For we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleed
ing,
Ger the spoils that death has
won,
We would at this solemn meeting,
Calmly say Thy will be done, )"
FAREWELL farewell. dearest Lula,
Let this sweet hope he our stay:
You will rise and bid us welcome
In the Resurrection Day.

HOW GENERAL GRANT LOST
HIS HIRAM" I"

Not many Americans know that
Hiram U. Grant was the eigh-
tsenth President of the United
States. Yet it is true, for
ULYSSES Simpson" was never
legally the name of our greatest
general. This inter ssting fact is
brought out by Franklin B. Wiley
in The Ladies Home Journal for
September, in Famous People as
We Do Not Know Them" The
story of how it came about was
told by member of Congress
Thomas L. Hamer-who recon-
mended young Grant as a candi-
date for West Point in 1889. Mr..
Hamer he'd long been friend Of
the Grants, but when he came to
make out the application papers
for Ulysses be could not recall the
boys full name. So, deciding that
he was doubtless named for his
mothers family, he wrote it
ULYSSES Simpson Grant" Thus
was it recorded at West Point,
and though the attention of the
officials was several times called
TO the error they did not feel
authorized to correct it. This
nlne wasgradually adopted, and
by it Grant was. and always will
be. known. But as for any record
of the birth of Ulysses Simpson
Grant, " that does not exist.

ture the More I'M

George F. Freeman, q member Of the
board Of fire commissioners, is mourn
ing the loss of $50 chickens and eight
ducks which were stolen from his farm
at White Bear a night or two ago.
Who stole the chickens?
The problem is a deep one, and MT.
Freeman and his friends are doing their
best to solve it. Youthful imitators of
Sherlock Holmes in tine neighborhood Of
White Bear advance the theory that
some Rastus skilled in the art of waking
UP chickens before it is Growing time has
made one Napoleonic sweep, not even
leaving the coop out OF courtesy to the
owner. There Is more than one reason
for this theory. First, Mr.. Freeman own
ed a high class of poultry, nearly every
cackler being a member Of the 400" in
chickendom; second, they were easy to
steal If an old-timer took them, he
probably reasoned that it was about as
much trouble to take one as all.
The hired man, VINO has charge of the
farm, says that when ne got up Monday
morning, the barn yard looked deserted,
and he soon discovered that its popula-
tion had been reduced to nothing. He re-
ported the matter to Sheriff Justus who
is making every effort to locate
the thieves. The chickens were very vail
liable and the theft represents a heavy
loss to Mr. Freeman. NO pains will be
spared to bring the culprit to justice.

AS a result Of the citys decision to

compelled to move it's quarters fifty feet
further south. The present property of

AS the present building Of the company

erect a structure which will cost in the
neighborhood of So, 900, and which will
include all the improvements adopted
since the first building was erected. To
do this the property back to Second
street has been secured, and 1T Is the
intention of the company to erect the
best possible storing and bottIing plant
possible.
This will involve a cost of at least $25,-
900, and with improvements which are
contemplated the expenditure may even
reach up to $4,000. The expense is not
being considered, however, and the most
modern and up to date plant in the
Northwest will be installed. In addition
to the storage facilities, the plant will
include a complete bottling works that
will be on a par with the CAnpany' s
other large Enterprises
The building viii be new one, as the
present structure will have to be de-
strOyed, and, in view OF the increased
facilities which the company will obtain
no objection will be raised to the loss
which the Improvements contemplated
will entail on the present volume of bust
