stneir protest is unnecessary. do respect

such disastrous appointment as that said
TO have been thought Of 1t could but
have the effect of utterly discredit-
ing the University OF Virginia among
educated men of this State, in every part
of the United States. and throughout
the world. exposing teaching here to the
contempt and ridicu!e Of the students,
and OF causing to the thousand of warmly

found grief for the decadence of the
school OF which such men as William B.

Caheli have been exponents in the past
Would BE Disastrous.
1t is the profound conviction of the un-
dersigned members Of the Faculty that
the appointment of Mr. Miles to any
position in connection with the action
work of the University would be disas-
trous to the institutions and dangerous III
the extreme.
Not only is Mr.. Miles totally unfit for
the chair of Economics because he has
no claim whatever to be regarded as a
master of the subject indeed is pract1-
cailS altogether unacquainted with it.
but further. if the professorship were
to be more than nominal he would have
no moro time than any other professor to
attend to the duties OF chairman, and no.
thing will be gained in this respect by
such step.
Moreover the appointment of Mr.. Miles
to the position of chairman is even
more to be deprecated than his election

Whatever may be the restriction of
law. the impropriety is evident of the
member of the board being appointed TO

has been thoroughly established in Nir-
Snia since the debates in the late Constl-
tutional Convention upon the report or
the Committee on the Legislative Depart
1nent of which committee one member of
the Board of Visitors was chairman.
AS to His Character.
Further and especially. We believe the
character of Mr.. Miles is not such as to
justify his appointment IS the head of
the University. We arc prepared to lay
before YOU clear evidence in support OF
this allegation.
we are also satisfied from statements
made by the advocates of AIR. Miles that
the action said to be now proposed is re-
garded by them at least as a step towards
a presidency in fact. though not in name
or in law. If so we regard it as most un-
wise and dangerous step. 1t would neces-
sarily establish an antagonism between

OF $50 for common and 500 for the

ed. A circular giving details will be
issued to stockholders In the course OF
few days. and they will be asked to

II was not officially announced for
whom speyer & Co. were acting. As

equivalent to sGi25. The dividend on
the common stock per share Is $3.50.
Dividends are payable on April 30 to
stockholders as registered April L. Mr..
Smith intlmated that the sale would
bring over S2l.OOO0OO to this city,
where most OF the stock Is held.
Francis / Gowan. president of the
Choctaw. said that he was not in a po-
sitlon TO talk In detail on the subject
He admitted the sale and said the
transfer would mean a revolution in
the management OF the board. but in
what way he could not say
Whether the bond issue recently pro-
jected would be forthcoming, he could
not say. though he expected the new
management would see the advantage
OF the extension that had been con-
taken after careful deliberation and
taken after sareful dellberation and
he thought Il was advantageous.
During the last six months rumors
have connected the Atchis0n. Topeka
and Santa Re railway. the Missouri
Pacific railway. the ST Louis and San
Francisco railroad and the Rock Is
land railroad. There Is a strong be-
lief that the last named road Is the pur-
chaser. This belief Is strengthened by
the fact that the board oi directors OF
/ the Rock Island road are about TO Is
sue SIS 600 coo In new capital stock.

lovely lot Of old fossils there are drawing
good money in that league-that is, II they
are drawing anything. Attendance at the

better during the last two weeks, but In

only a question Of how much good money

Kicking at the umpire is always a bad
practice and very often operates to deprive
a team of the services of a valuable player.
For example, take that tie game at Peoria.
Calhoun allowed his temper to get the bet
ter of him while at the bat and was put
out OF the game and then OFF the grounds.
This was in the fifth inning, and for eight
innings the team had to fight without him,
a youngster filling his position on first. Had
Calhoun been able to control himself his
assistance might have enabled the team to
win. At Colorado Springs he and Genins
were both put out OF the game by an UNI
pire who would use authority whether he
showed judgment or not and the game was
lost. In none Of the kicks that have been
registered his season has the kicker gained
a. point. other than to incur the enmity Of
the umpire, and frequently deprive his team
of his service. II has been a. matter Of gem
eral regret that better umpires could not
be had, but the fact remains that they have
charge OF the games and none are too difi-
dent or too lenient to assert their authority.
The rule giving the umpire the right to put
a player out of the game is q good one and
players ought to respect II. At all events
they should be careful not to kick them
selves out of the game.
