but possessing greater wealth in re-
lation to it's size. 1t was largely
through the initiative of the late Cor
nelius Vanderbilt that DR.. Greer was
called from Providence to take charge

The Vanderbilt family have always
been loyal in it's devotion to him, and
there are many other families among
the richest in New York that belong to
the congregation which on one Sunday
morning contributed to charity more
than 100000 in one collection. Pew
rents there are naturally among the
highest in the city-and are said to re
$4,000 in some cases.
The bishop-elect came to New York
city from Providence, where he had
been for sixteen years rector of Grace

time at Clarksburg, w. Va, where for
two years he was rector of Christ

Interest in the sun dance among
The Cheyenne and Arapahoes had
waned gradually till about three years
ago, when it was revived through the
m1sinterpretation of portion of the
annual report of Maj. stouch, then
their agent. Maj. Stouch expressed
the opinion that the old Indians.
whose civilization was hopeless, should
be permitted to hold an annual sun
dance, as it possessed religious sig
nificance for them, and was their most
solemn form of worshiping the Great
Spirit, the Indians conception of God.
His recommendation was distorted,
and the news spread among the In
dams that the officials in Washington
wished them to revive the sun dance
The grafters in the tribes saw an
opportunity to make money by charg-
ing admission, and the dance was soon
in full blast. A few of the other in.
dians saw the futlllty of reviving, the
dance. An old chic said that he could
not understand the policy of the Of
ficials in Washington.
""Once," he said. 1--WE were told that
Che sun dance was bad, and that the
Indian should follow a, new way, the
white mans way. We started on the
white mans way, and then we were
told that the Indians way was not
crooked, and that we could follow it
for while. The ways>seem to have

He Will Appear Before the

Next Thursday,

There Is going to be avery interesting

fore the House Committee for Schools
and Colleges on Thursday next when
Colonel George W. Miles, OF T2adford.
will appear in the interest Of the meas
ure as it was originally introduced by
Mr.. Boaz
Colonel Miles will oppose the amend
ments offered to the bill. which provide
that four weeks notice OF the election
of an executive head shall be given In
newspapers. and that no member Of the
Board Of Visitors and no person 'who
for the past four years shall have been
such member shall be eligible to the pres
idency
1t is understood that Colonel Miles feels
that tho Offering OF the latter amend
ment was to some extent aimed at him
self, and the fact that the distinguished
| Southwest educator was recently n can
didate for the presidency will make his
| appearance before the committee OF all
the more public interest.
Chairman Duke said yesterday that the
amendments which Colonel Miles would
come to oppose would be earnestly
passed. as the thought that the principle
recently applied to the Legislature by
the committee was correct one, and
/ should be extended to the government OF
tho University.
Tho hearing to be given Colonel Miles
is going to be very interesting one.
and great many friends Of the Uni
versity will doubtless be on hand.

the rejection OF an ordinance granting n

Mr.. Barksdale made "a strong speech

by Mr.. Anderson tnathat calm. plain and
forceful way he has OF presenting argY-
ments to the Senate. He said that 1t
would be an absurdityl for a legislative
body chosen by the people to do certain
legislation to the people and to throw
the burden off Of their own shoulders.
This act has been carefully drawn;
is 1t safe-guardod INT every respect, said
Mr. Anderson. %t The people will not suf-
fer under It, for. there Is every possible
provision made for the granting OF fran
chses in the most open manner. The
fact that city or a town has franchise
for sale will be advertised and IL an
inferior bidder gets it the reasons for
this must DO stated. There is every pre-
caution provided for tho protection Of the
peoples interests. b If a councilman does
