FOR EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
VIM. d. Upshnw's Effort to Raise
$4,000.

$4,000.
Among the delegates to the B. Y. p
U. convention is Mr.. William D. In
shaw, the widely known young writer
and lecturer, who is pleasantly re-
membered in Savannah from having
spoken at several churches here dur
ing his visit to the Georgia Baptist
Convention some years ago.
Mr.. Upshaw has been a cripple for
many years, but, nevertheless, one
of the busiest men in Georgia. He
won his spurs" last year by his he
roic and remarkably successful cam
palgn FOR the endowment of Mercer
University and he is now stirring the
educational life of Georgia, especially
among Baptists, by his superb unset
nsh work for the education of woman.
AS financial secretary of Monroe
College at Forsyth, without salary. he
is engtged in raising $4,000 to build
a large dormitory in order to cheapen
higher education for girls. The in
spiration of his example and the elo-
quenee of his appeals may be Judged
by his latest victory told in the Morn
ing News of yesterday, when the lit
tie town of Ocilla gave him nearly
M,1O0 for his work. This young Geor-
gian is often called Earnest Willie

The New York Tribune is moved by a strange
and apparently inexcusable surgical blunder that
vas committed in western city last week to enter
vigorous protest against what it calls can indis-
eriminate use OF the knife, If cutting were aDan
aCea Of human ills" According to The Tribune
blunders with cruel and sometimes fatal results are
frequently made in New York; most OF them by
young doctors sent on ambulance calls Occuren-
ces OF this character, says The Tribune have be-
come public scandal and It adds: ssFrom the ear
lest days Of surgical practice the disposition Of
hOtboOded youth, Of the sprinters in surgery, has
been to rush breathlessly ct problems to cut Cor
dian knots and human bodies with the hope OF set
Ting everything In hurry. Sometimes the patient
is settled By such haste and cannot be saved The
greatest masters OF surgery the world ever saw
have not been hustered or incOnsideFate. They
have had the large view and the TRANQUIL mind.
They have believed in giving nature q chance.
Maturity and experience are Of inestimatabIe val
ue u surgery. Very young surgeons too often
think more Of the enhancement Of theil regulations
Dy heroic experiments than Of the probabilities
OF the recovery Of those upon whom they operate
80 unsparingly. There ere many who should tar.

1rlnuney IN its zeal, may overstate the case but
tnere is undoubtedly much truth in what it saws.
The influence Of the medical colleges the great hos
pitalss the surgeons Of cooler heads and riper ex-
perience should be exerted 70 remove the growing
scandal OF which our contemporary complains.

Secretary Moody will not ask for appropriations
for more ships at the next term Of congress, it is
said for the that officers could not be found
t0man them. 1t is further stated that the Ameri-
can navy is at present wOfuly short of commissioned
officers. Recently young officer committed suicide
because he could not stand the strain Of doing three
mems work, as was required of him. There is
hardly more worthy purpose for which congress
could spend portion Of the funds intrusted to it
than in enlargng the naval academy that it could
diets training for naval service. During the next
three years the academy win graduate about 800
cadets to meet demand Of fully 1000 Plainly,
something must be done, and that at an early date,

long will the task Of government in the east be diff

the facts among their friends than for as to 90 among
them to understand the degree to which morality
prevails here; we want them to know that among
us 1t is considered poor form Co cheat and lie and
that liars and cheats never profit in the end; we

them to zee that cleanliness is observed and "a peo

Captain CapeTs, sound money democrat, for

ss4~-S w ana guests, the Omaha medlcs ac
corded to them special cOurteses Long before the
game was finished they had broken the South Da-
kOta captains shoulder blade After this was done
the captain carried of the field on stretcher,
they broke player ThOmpsOn's rib, and he was car
ried of the field. Not content with this they broke
more or less arms and legs belonging to
three other players and they were carried of the
field. When they had left a sufficient number Of
the South Dakota warriors hors de combat the med
ics turned in and won the game, but not before an
other gentleman had been knocked senseless The
medics may have thought they were paying the
South DakOtans too many compliments. In any
event, the umpire who was from Brown college, was
singled ont for their delicate attention and because
OF decision which did not salt them he was prompt
y knocked out BY blow on the jaw and carried OF
the field on a stretcher.
Had not the rest of the South Dakotans been so
completely overcome by the hospitality aud cOurte-
sy OF their Omaha hosts that they could offer no re-
sistance it is probable al would have been carried
on the field as conspicuous subjects for a clinic at
the Omaha medical college. AS it is, broken legs
arms and shoulder blades and dislOcated knees
hips, and elbows will remind them for some time of
the enjoyable game they had at Omaha. AS all this
Is part Of the game" Of course no criticism can be
made upon it from professional point Of view II
the South Dakota victims recognize it as 'part of
the gamep no one need sympathize with them, what
ever may be his opinion Of Omaha brutality Il
seems, however, little like straining the amenities
OF the noble game to extend them to the umpire.

set forth the position Of the Repub-
lican party in South Carolina.
