MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.

The Washington Post OF yesterday has
a timely and sensible article on the
leniency of the law toward the man who
assaults another with intent to kill, but
who fails in his attempt. The Post says
that such a person is equally guilty
whether the attempt fails or succeeds,
and that the presence in a community
of q. person who has failed in an attempt
to commit murder Is as serious a menace
to society as the presence Of one who has
made successful attempt THE con

classes OF criminals" it proceeds, sis a

BE SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION.
Friends of tt: Southwest VlrsIHia Institute
Will Buy Il 10,

The Southwest Virginia Institute. at
Bristol, Va. will shortly be put up at
public aution and sold. The friends OF
the school will buy 1t In, will borrow the
necessary money to pay the mortgage
debt and will start off again on SAFER
basis. The sale will cause no Interrupt
ton to the present session, nor to sue
ceeding sessions for period OF at least
five years
In the Forthcoming Issue Of the Religious
Herald. Mr.. T. II. Elicit, OF this city.
has a statement, setting forth the facts
which led up to the determination to sell
the school at public aucion. At the re-
quest Of the Board Of Trustees of the
Institute, Mr.. Elicit recently paid visit
to Mr.. Gary. of Baltimore the chief credi-
tor. After a pleasant conference with
him it was decided that by far the best
thing for the school to do was allow Itself
to be put up for sale, under the first or
the second mortgage and to have Its
friends buy it in. In this way the sltua-
ton would be relieved of all complications
the school would he freed from Immediate
peril and the Baptists OF Virginia would
have sufficient time in which to discharge
the debit The Board of Trustees and
the friends of the school so far as they
have been consulted, heartily agree that
this is the best course to pursue.
The entire debt on the school Is about
sS3 GOO with some possible costs Of sale to
be added. OF this amount something Ike
$1,000 is in the hands OF Baptists. who are
willing to devote it under certain con-
ditions. But whether this gift is secured
or not the debt will not exceed $4,000 and
it can be arranged to have loan for this
amount TO run five years. In order that
the sale may be affected and this polio"
carried out It will be necessary to raise
$3.50 by the 18th of January. OF this,
$3.50 Is for interest past due and the re-
naming $3.50 for interest that falls due
on January 18th. The payment OF this
s1.5Co Is required on that date by Mr..
Gary as condition of his willingness to
renew the loan for five years.

AMUSING INCIDENTS.
Interesting Advertising Warfare Between

slaughter, and SO on. By the same token

Commenting on the rich gifts of rich
men to the cause of education, the Phila-
delphia Times says:
It is significant that our men Of wealth,
who are nearly all self-made should wish
to appear as the patrons of higher learn
ing. They cannot be said to support
| university education because they have

knowledge OF It's value in that they have
felt a great void without the higher in

in them may be appealed to when they
deal ultimately with learned subjects.
Whatever the explanation their gifts
greatly enrich our civilization in found
ing educational esta blishments which we
should lack except for their rare munih-
cence Neither governments nor smaller
benefactors could vouchsafe the country
such institutions in such number as we

It is said that fire losses this year will

to have paid the entire national debt,
bonds, greenbacks and ALL when 1t was
at its highest point. This heavy loss is
largely the result of the prevalence OF
