A Wise Suggestion.

ED. The INDEPENDENT:
Dirty sidewalks are Disgrace to
any city and owners should look to
it, that the sidewalk in front Of
their property is kept clean. Leaves
from their own trees, or careless
mass OF their yard man, ia sweeping
or dumping the same on 10 the
Sidewalk, should be corrected.
When mango and banana skins,
papers, etc, are thrown, or soda
water or beer bottles are broken on
the sidewalk, it is the fault OF the
general public aud should be
stopped. | want to a Id my protest

Oar cement sidewalks have cost

SCOPE OF COLUMBIA'S
COURSE IN CHINESE.
TO TRAIN DIPLOMATS FOR EAST.
DIR. Butler Te;:s of Gift Promised by
Cbina-PIans of the New
Depnrtment-Found
of the Chair.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s-Dr Nicholas
Murray Butler. the acting president of Co
lumbia University speaking of the gift OF
the Chinese Government TO that institu-
tion. said:
The cable despatch is in line with a
letter which received in the last China
mail from United States Minister Conger
In this letter MIR. conger said that he had
been advised by the Chinese Foreign Of
fee that the Chinese Government was pre-
pairing a collection of educational data to
be given to Columbia University in recog-
niticn Of the establishment OF a chair Of
Chinese language, history, ard literature
in the university.
An Interesting Collection.
This Is undoubtedly the collection to
which the correspondent in Pekin refers
have not heard anything myself on the
subject since the receipt of Mr.. Conger's
letter. II is a very interesting matter and
the collection undoubtedly will be just
what we want.
1T was last June that the chair OF
Chinese language. history. and literature
was endowed. and at that time the gift 10
AAiF - v M NADAAe AA4Oss-. AAf III 81
gift was OF 100000 and was subsequently
increased by $4,000 more As far as the
university is concerned there has been no
release so far as ! know, Of the under
standing that the name of the founder Of
the chair be not made public.
1T Is the intention TO make this de-
partment of study in the university a very
comprehensive one. The plans that we
have considered in outline are very large
of broad scope For that reason there
is a disposition to move slowly al the out
set We do not wish to take steps that
we may have TO retrace.
To Equip Diplomats.
1T is the idea in studying Chinese mat
ters that our diplomats and those repre-
senting the country or American interests
In any way shall have the opportunity TO
make themselves acquainted with the peo-
pic among whom they are going their
language. customs, literature, and their
point {. view. wnich in so many ways is
different from our own.
We hope to establish In Columbia a
char that will cover these matters and
history OF the Orient generally. N a broad
and comprehensive way"

He declares that he ioired the fund un-

THE IMMACULATE GIFT.
Rev. c. &. Mnson's Topic ut Central
Union Mission Last Night,

At the Central Union Mission audi.o-
rum last night Rev. c. s. Mason, of Cali
fornia, spoke from the text I Corinthians
ii:l-2: Il determined not to know any
thing among you save Jesus Christ and
him crucifed." In brief he said: This
doctrine. the vicarious sacrifice of Jesus
Christ. the Jewish Messiah. was contrary
to their preconceived ideas. They expect
ed linn to come in great pomp and power;
to restore the glory of Israel, and estab-
lish an earthly kingdom. The idea OF sal
walton through faith in crucified one
was to the Jews and Greeks a stumbling
block and foolishness; but 1T pleased God
by the foolishpess OF preaching to save
them that believe. for Christ is the power
of God and wisdom of God TO all that be-
lieve. The profound thinker, the learned
member of the Sanhedrim. dedicated his
life and consecrated all his powers TO de-
clare this great doctrine, the 'unspeakable
gift of the Christ. whom the angel de-
ciared was born a Saviour. whom God sent
forth to redeem the world. and who from
Calvary sent the message to the world.

CLASH OVER A PRISONER.

lives Want Logan.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Dec 29.-Federal
authorities, represented by United States
Marshal Austin. and the Pinkerton De-
tective Agency. representing the Great
Northern Express Company. clashed with
the State authorities here yesterday re
garding the possession and disposition Of
Harvey Logan, the Montana bandit.
Logans preliminary hearing on charges
of shooting two Knoxville patrolmen was
on before one justice OF the peace and the
indictments against him we're quashed
Immediately the Federal authorities is
sued warrants charging Logan with the
Great Northern train robbery. Before
they could be served Logan had been tried
in another justice court and remanded TO
jail on the charge Of bringing stolen
goods-the Montana money-into the
State, the Federal people being complete
ly outwitted
This charge is bailable one. of course.
and it is believed that plan is on foot to
liberate Logan on cash bond.
United States District Attorney Wright
has given it as his opinion that in refus-
ing to allow Federal officers TO serve a
warrant on Logan the State authorities
are liable to punishment, and steps in
that direction may be taken.
