The state University.

The following is an extract from an
article in the Wyoming number of the
Rocky Mountain Educator written by
Prof. J. O. Churchill, superintendent
of the city schools of Cheyenne. under
the caption. THE School System of
Wyoming:"
This excellent institution is only
sixteen years old. 1t is located at Lar
amic City on the main line of the I'm
ion Pacific railroad. ffty-eight miles
west of Cheyenne.
Laramie is well named the Gem
City of the Plains 1t has a popula-
ton of about 5000. It's moral. social
and educational spirit is unusually
high. thus making it a most suitable
place for a university. In the organi-
cation of III system for higher educa-
ton We have tried to avoid the mis-
take so often made of scattering the
various schools over the state for po-
litical or other reasons, and have con
solidated our Preparatory school. Col
lege of Liberal Arts. Normal school,
School of Mines, College of Mechanical
Engineering. Business school. and Ag-
ricultural college all at Laramie City
under the direction of one board of
trustees, one president and one facul-
ty. Efforts are made from time to
time to change this plan but the sen
timent is rapidly growing in favor of
keeping the schools together.
The state and the United States
have been very liberal in supporting
the university. While the attendance
has not been so great as is found at
the universities of older states, the in
struction. the library. apparatus and
museum have always been of the very
best. The professors are young men
who have not only made their mark in
wyoming, but many have national as
well as an international reputation for
work in their particular departments.
The course of study is approved by
the larger universities and its students
have entered corresponding grades at
Harvard, Columbia and other noted
schools. This being the case students
whose health will not allow them to at
tend school at lower attitudes will find
at Laramie, 200 feet above the e

equal to the best to be secured any

MODERN WOMEN.

Become annoyingly precise in their
method of doing things.
Annoy men by injecting too much
gush into their conversation.
Stand in their own light by an as
sumption of dignified reserve.
Take on fads watch show nothing
in the way of tangible results.
Make requests in a lone that takes
on the appearance of a command.
Indulge in whining to an extent
thai causes them to be regarded as
bOres.
Think nothing of taking little things
which are not their own under the
souvenir plea.
Fall into the habit of growing en-
thusiastic over the most common.
place occurrences.
Like to tell their best friends now
they openly made fun of another
woman's garments.
Acquire the habit of conversing in
an undertone in a way to create the
impression of whispering.

THE REVIVAL.
Another Large Crowd at the Union
Service, Last Evening.

The second night Of the sixth week
OF the revival meetings opened prompt
ly, last evening, with DR.. E. J. Roberts
conducting the chorus. The new gos-
pei hymn books are proving a great
addition to the services. The congre-
gational singing is one Of the pleasing
features of the present. series of meet
ings.
The meeting, last night, was of the
same character as the preceding 81.
Enthusiastic singing, fervent prapers,
short gospel sermon. followed by an
earnest plea for personal decision for
the Christian life filled up the even
ing.
Some have asked how long the meet
ings are to be continued. Well, no
one can answer that question but God
and all those interested. So far as the
ministers are concerned, they are will
ing and ready to go on until the sum-
mer vacation. The public is beyond
doubt interested in the meetings and
demands that they be continued The
proof OF this statement is found in the
great audience that filled the First
Baptist chapel. last evening.
Rev. b. p. Hope was the preacher,
last night. His subject was "The
Greatness of Belief" He showed that
it was through believing on Jesus
Christ that the sinner found eternal
life. He argued that any man, all
men. can believe and must believe If
they would escape condemnation.
At the close of the sermon more than
40 persons gave testimony to the saw
ing power Of Jesus Christ and several
requested the prayers of the people.

BUSINESS STARTING UP.
Hon. +. s. Walls, vinalhavsn, Talks
With Journal.

Hon. r. s. Walls Of Vinalhaven, ar
rived in the city, last evening, and will
remain during the G.. A. r. encamp-
ment. He is accompanied by Mrs.
Wall, who is a member Of the Woman's
State Relief Corps.
Mr.. Walls says that the granite busi-
ness in Vinalhaven is just now start
ing up after n very quiet winter. The
prospects for a good summer are very
favorable.
In response to n question by the
Journal, Mr.. Walls said: 1.-Two complete
pillars for the church of St. John the
Divine in New York, have been COM
pleted by the Bodwell Granite Co. Each
pillar is made in two parts and when
joined together will measure 5S feet. 1t
was expected that these pillars could be
quarried and finished in one piece. A
lathe was especially made for them.
which cost 10000, but it was found i'm
possible to work the full length pillar.
So they are now being made in two
pices. Quarryman Edward Russell still
contends that the pillars can be quar-
ried and finished on our lathe. There
are six more pillars to be finished.
THE experiment Of finishing such an
immense block of granite in one piece
was not success. although practical
men say it can be done. The first stone
tried was so long that it broke in two
pieces while being run through the big
lathe. So we have been getting out the
pillars from 2S to 80 feet long.
Business is just beginning to i'm
prove, down our way" concluded Mr..
Walls, land we expect that before a
great while we shall be employing an
increased force of men,"
