A LITTLE TOO PREVIOUS.

Rev J. c. Porter editor of the Baptist Witness in
burst of ultrapous gush winds editorial in defense
of the trustees of Steson university for their recent
seating of Mr.. John B. Stetson follows
'Thank God for Stetson University and it's noble
| president. May the Father of all mercies protect
them from the tongue of the slanderer and grant
to them still greater prosperity and usefulness in the
| years to cOme.'
This language reads very prettily. 1t fairly bulges
with surface piey and with large number of people is
all that is needed to put end to the university
dal. But there others These would prefer more
scriptural, way of arriving at the
same result. They do not ask the Father of all
ces to step in and work miracle when there is law
of natural procedure which, if honestly followed will
produce cessation of gossip.
Let us keep to the line.
Several reputable witnesses have made affidavit that
the noble president of Stetson university is guilty of
certain mmoralites which do not mortise perfectly in
to the strenuous life of perfect holiness
! The people of Florida have interest in Stetson
university. The school has grown to something more
than mere centre of Baptist academical culture 1t
is greatest co-educational institution The presi-
dent of this institution has been charged with gross
immortality.
John B Stetson, the founder of the university and
the who has given half million dollars for equip
ment who safely be presumed to have an in
erest in its welfare says the investigation into these
charges by the board of trustees and which resulted in
socalled eXOneration of the PRESIDENT was white
wash.
Anyway there is lot of apparently good evidence
now in the hands of the public that casts dark brown
shadow upon the pious professions of President Forbes
These statements not necessarily slanderous
They demand investigation.
When an earthly commission of competent iurisdic
ton has acted upon this material honestly and with
that thoroqghness which its importance demands and
that commission pTonOunces the atdavits a combina-
tiOn of slanderous statement, then and till then
will it be in order to appeal the the Father of
all mercies,' whom brother Porter so piOusly nvokes
He is too previous.

MEXICO VOTES GIRL A MEDAL.
She Ran City OF Linures in Yellow Fever
Epidemic.

LISAREs, Mexico, Sept. ?7-The heroic
action of Miss Manuela Flores, the beau
tiful eighteen-year odd daughter of old
Col. Mariana Gomez. Mayor OF this city,
has attracted the attention OF President
Diaz and the Mexican Congress, which has
voted medal to her.
This high honor will be conferred upon
Miss Gomez in recognition Of her brave and
untiring service to the people of this city
during the yellow fever epidemic. For
several weeks she has been the acting Mayor
OF Linares.
Surrounded by the dying victims Of the
terrible disease, and with her father, the
Mayor, lying at her home stricken with the
malady, she assumed the duties Of Mayor
and has directed the affairs Of the city in
its time of greatest distress with an ability
that has won for her the praise Of the highest
authorities Of the Mexican Government.
When death entered her own home. she
remained at her post Of duty.
She saw the population OF the city re-
duced fl ON Is 900 people to less than 5000,
q result Of death and panic due to the cpl
demic. When her associates were fleeing
to the mountains to escape the scourge
Miss Manuela was directing and carrying
out plans for improving the sanitary con-
dtion of the city and using her utmost
efforts to prevent the spread Of the disease.
All the city officials were stricken with
the fever and died. As they dropped off
one by one Miss Manuela took up their
respective official duties and she is now
performing the work Of the other officials,
as we'll as that Of Mayor.
