NEW YEARS GIFT ANIMALS
Curious Volumes In Vogue For Pres
ents Half a Century Ago.

Curious Volumes In Vogue For Pres
ents Half a Century Ago.
Even in the earlier days, when New
Years gifts were comparatively COM
mon, the idea of gift for gift was
too suggestive of the friendship of
central Africa not to lead the makers
Of such gifts to look for something
suggestive of the new year, and this
demand was largely responsible for
that large output of literature in the
shape of ''gift annuals," now found in
the attics and lumber rooms Of all fam
lilies of long established residence.
These curious volumes seem to have
sprung into existence, multiplied and
passed away during the years between
1880 and 1870. A few of them are dis
tinctly religious in character, but the
majority are made up much after the
fashion of a modern ten cent maya
zine without the advertisements.
Poems, tales and beautiful touching
little moral essays make up the letter.
press, while the illustrations are steel
engravings, often of a high order. The
binding is usually calf, sometimes mo-
rocco and seldom in the best of taste.
An excess of ornamentation and a too
lavish use Of gold leaf are apparent in
every instance. Gilt edges were a sine
qua non in the days of gift annuals.-

ELECTS A PRESIDENT
HOWARD UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES
CHOOSE DIR. GORDON.
It is Believed He Will Accept the Posi-
tion-Well Known as
an Educator.

At a meeting of the board of trustees
of Howard University held Tuesday last
DIR. John Gordon, president of Tabor Col
lege, Iowa. was rendered the position of
president of the local institution. AS yet
nothing has been received from DIR. Cor
don definitely stating that he would come
to this CITY, but 1t is thought highly prob
able that he will do so. The election OF
DIR. Gordon to the position of president or
Howard University was unanimous, his
name meeting with high Endorsement from
the board.
Dr. Gordon was born in Pittsburg, Pa,
where his father was a prominent mer-
chant. He was educated in that city, grad
uating with honors from the Western Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. He took post
graduate course at Yale, and has a de-
gree of master of arts from that institu-
ton. He also holds the degree of doctor
of divinity from the Western University
of Pennsylvania. He studied theology at
Auburn, New York, graduating at the lat
ter place in 1871. DIR. Gordon has been
in the passionate at Rensseiaerville, N. Y,
Pittsburg Pa, and Lincoln. Neb He took
the principal part in the founding OF the
Omaha Theological Seminary, where he
held the chair of church history for about
eight years, teaching with distinguished
success.
From there he went to the chair of his
tory at Tabor College, Iowa, and after sew
eral years in that profeSsorShip was maze
acting president, and later president of that
college.
He is the author of volume entitled
Three Children of Galilee,'' life of Christ
for the young. DR.. Gordon has made many
addresses before educational gatherings
and read many papers before learned so
cieties. At meeting of the Society or
Church History held in this city several
years ago. he read the papal bull distrib-
uting America among the nations of Eu-
rope.

Well Equipped for Position.

DR.. Gordon is fiftythree years of age and
in full health and vigor. His father was
lifetime friend of the negro race and
conductor of the famous underground rail-
way, and If he comes to Howard Univer-
sty, it is believed, he will come fully
equipped for the work and opportunity that
this institution offers.
DR.. Gordon was commended to the board
by representative men of the country,
among whom were Mr.. John DalZell of
Pittsburg, Senator Allison of Iowa, Sen
ator Willard of Nebraska, Chancellor Mac
Lean of the University of Iowa and many
other men of the highest distinction.
At the meeting of the board of trustees
at which DR.. Gordon was elected president
three new members were added to the
board. They are Judge Thomas H. Ander
son of the Supreme Court of the District,
Gen. Charles Bird, L. 8. A., retired, and
Mr.. jackson H. Ralston, lawyer of this
city, counsel for the United States in the
Plus fund case before The Hague tribunal
and now arbitrator between Italy and Ven,

The Prospector.


To the brave aud ragged prospector,
with heap outfit for mining aud hope
ful heart is due the rapid develop
msnt OF the west At the top of his
pick the doors OF natnres treasure
vaults open; but their wealth is not
for him. The stock sharks, tile specu
lAtors and the promoters rob him Of
his interest. and the snow is no soon
er sinking from the slopes of the foot
hills than the poor fellow is vending
his couIss into new territory. He
appears IN the rocky mountains fast
encsses and, with no companion but
his pick aud frying pan, is lost to
memory Suddenly comes the news
OF another discovery and city rises
like pillar of flame in the wilder
ness. Lucky Bill has struck il rich.
gamblsd away his pile and rushed on.
The bones of hundreds of the advance
couriets of civilization blaze the path
OF pI IoRress in the west or mouldering
forgotten graves, while in their wake
are teem,pg cities they have founded
and the ceaseless murmur OF the
money seeking multitude whose fort
unes they have builded. "-Arizona
