The dedication at Greensboro yester-

important event In the educational prog

College has been unprecedented in the

completion of the new building adds to
its equipment and efficiency 1t was a

TWO GENEROUS GIFTS.

Trinity College has been the recipient
this month of two handsome gifts which
are to be completed before the opening
of the Fall session-one a modern dor
mitory to cost $4,000 or $4,000 by Mr..
Benz. ~ Duke. and the other an elegant
granite pavilion to be built between the
gateway of the college and the Washing
ton Duke building. the gift OF Mrs. James
E. Stagg. the grand daughter of Mr..
Washington Duke. These two additions
together with the magnificent ]. F. Duke
Library Building, will add greatly to the
equipment, comfort and adornment OF
Trinity College.
Our correspondent says ut seems TO be
the policy of the Messrs Duke to con-
centrate their gifts here to the end that
that will make 1t rank with the first
American institutions" That will be a
wise policy. The late Governor Holt
gave good advice when he counselled men
of wealth ito invest in immortal mind. "
Such investments pay an hundred fold
and are more permanent than invest
ments in stocks and bonds These gen.
erous gifts TO education by father, sons
and grand daughter will be hailed with
pleasure by all who are interested in the
educational progress of North Carolina.

A CHRISTOPHER STATESMAN.

The papers have had much to say about
Senator Tillman's happy description OF
the too fresh young Senator from In
diana, who has given himself more airs
since his election 10 the Senate than
solid people like. When he tackled SEN
ator Tillman, he struck a buzz-saw, and
when the Palmetto Senator called him
"grasshopper statesman" Mr. Bever-
idge doubtless wished that he had not
run up against the buzz-saw. 1t is doubt
full If Mr. Tillman knew how happy he
was In using the grasshopper description,
but it may be that he he'd read Burke S
