1t has a revolving dome, a transit
room and computing room, and is
well equipped with all the necessary
instruments.
Several hundred yards west of the
main building is located the boiler
plant of the institution, from which all
the buildings are heated; also the
pumping station which supplies water
to the reservoir. Pure drinking water
is furnished to the institution from q
large spring on the banks of the Wa
tab by a double action hydraulic en-
CINE. The electric power house, con-
tanning two large dynamos, adjoins
the boiler plant. A large building on
the shore of the lake contains a we'll
equipped steam laundry and a number
Of other buildings accommodate the
various shops pertaining to the insti-
tuition.
The institution is conducted by the
Benedictine Fathers of st. Johns Alb
hey. The supervision of the educa-
tional work is in the hands of the di-
rector of the project of studies in the
collegiate department, and of the rec
tor and the project of studies in the
ecclesiastical seminary. The present
officers are: Right Rev. Peter Engel,
president; Rev. Leonard Kapsner, di-
rector; Rev. Bernard kevenhoerster,
rector of the seminary; Rev. Michael
OFT, project Of studies. The director is
assisted by six disciplinarians, who su-
perintend the conduct and application
of the students. The faculty consists
of thirty professors, engaged in the
various courses of studies, some having
been connected with the institution for
more than twenty years.
The number of students enrolled for
the present school year is 335, a larger
number than that of any preceding
year, all Of whom board at the institu-
ton. Most of the students are from
Minnesota, many from North and
South Dakota, some from Iowa and
Wisconsin, and a few from other states.
AS st. Johns is a Catholic institution
nearly all the students in attendance
are adherents Of the Catholic church.
Nom Catholics are not debarred from
attending, but, for the sake of order
and uniformity, they must assist at all
exercises of public worship, not, how
ever, at religious instructions.
Thus st. Johns furnishes the best
opportunities for young men to acquire
an education. Since 1857, when ST.
Johns was founded, hundreds of
young men have been educated for the
priesthood, and hundreds have fitted
themselves for business and for various
professions in life. They all cherish a
warm feeling towards their old alma
mater, and have greatly assisted in
making the institution known through
out the Northwest. - ~

baseball diamonds, handball and lawn
tennis courts, as well as for delight
full, shady walks. Thus the shady and
romantic walks through the forest, the
ample playground and the lake, with
it's splendid facilities for fishing and
boating in summer, and skating in
winter afford an amount of innocent
sport which the most fastidious will
not reasonably despise. These facili-
lies for outdoor recreation, and the
splendid gymnasium facilities combine
to promte the physical wellbeing of
the students.
All the buildings are massive struc-
lures, erected of red brick and pre-
Senting an imposing appearance. They
are heated by steam and lighted by
electricity. The main buildings form
a vast square measuring 26O feet on
each side, with wing 40 by 100, eX-
tending the east front. They average
five stories in height and cover an
area of 1000 square yards. The build
ings fronting east are occupied by the
religious community of st. Johns Alb
hey. The north, south and rear wings
are devoted to college and seminary
purposes. A beautiful church, deco
rated in freScO, forms part of the main
buildings, and is reached without ex-
posture to the inclemencies of the
weather.
OnG OF the nQeSI double RylnndSlu1nS
in the Northwest is found at ST.
Johns. 1t contains a track hall TWEEN
ty-two feet high, covering an area
so by 80 feet, for the use of the larger
students. The track runs around the
entire hall at an elevation Of nine
feet from the floor Another hall Is
set apart for the use of the smaller
students. Both these halls are fully
equipped with standard apparatus. Be
sides these two large halls, there are
several rooms for playing parlor
games, a billiard room, shower baths,
toilet rooms, etc. Two regulation bowl
ing alleys are set up in the spacious
basement Thus the gymnasium fur
nishes excellent facilities for indoor
exercises and amusements.
A few feet south from the main
buildings stands the library building,
which, together with the gymnasium.
was erected only a year ago. 1t Is a
three story building Of thoroughly
fire-proof construction. covering an
area of SO by SO feet. The lowest floor
is devoted entirely to the accommoda-
ton Of the faculty's extensive library
The second floor is occupied by the
university's valuable collection Of
specimens representing the various de-
partments of the natural sciences.
The third floor is devoted to the mu-
steal department of the institution.
The astronomical observatory stands
on the hill east Of the main building.

ultimate destruction of all the Chinese.
1t would be impossible to convey to
the ordinary mind the astonishing i'm
positions made upon the minds of
these ignorant rustic Chinese by such
villains as Tuan and his carefully
trained minions. The tax collectors
who are raising the revenue to pay
off the foreign indemnities create the
worst impression of all. For 81 the
tax may call for they collect $40, ap-
propriating the SO to their own use,
while the most horrible fortunes are
inflicted on those who cannot pay, in
the name of the powers. 1t is impos-
slble to estimate the effect of such
treatment on the Chinese mind. When
the time comes for them to be made
use Of these people will consider it a
virtue to rae converts and destroy
legations. Already the missionaries
in many parts of the interior report
threats, and are anxious to reach
places where safety can be guaranteed
them, but hundreds of them will be
killed and outrages unspeakable will
again be perpetrated.
For months past American and Bel
gian firms have been shipping fire
arms into China, and it is believed that
hundreds of thousands of fanatics have
been armed with them. The weapons
certainly were not wanted for the gov
eminent troops, as China has arsenals
as fine as those Of Europe, where ev-
cry class of machine for offensive pur-
poses can be manufactured.
Jung Ka has full sway with the
dowager empress, and while profess
Ing to encourage reform movements,
Is doing all possible to poison the
minds of his people against the for
eigners.
That they have ample ground to
work upon furnished by foreigners
themselves is obvious. They have only
to show the designs of the powers upon
Chinese territory to rouse not only
fanatical Boxers, but to stir the bet
ter element to a realization of what
the ascendancy Of the foreigner in
China will eventually mean. The map
OF Africa may be taken as a fair speci-
men of what is painted to them as
the possibility for a reorganized China.
There will only be one difference, &C.
cording to this theory. In Africa there
is no Russian sphere of influence. In
China there will be an exceedingly
large one. But there will be an equal
distribution of spells between the
powers-German, French, British and
Italian concessions will occupy large
areas, and the Chinese kingdom will
comprise a narrow slice, where the
foreign devils can hold them safely
at bay.
There Is plenty of ground for the
stories which the anti foreign man
darins pour into the willing ears of
their followers. Only the influence of
the United States has prevented a
more open front on the part of the ag-
gressive powers up to the present time.
One Of the chilling experiences of our
policy h<-e has been the defeat a

Dne of the Oldest and largest Catholic
Institutions of learning in the North

year the territorial legislature of Min
nesota granted a charter constituting
the Order OF St. Benedict a body cor

establish st Johns seminary" The
institution, however. became better
known under the name of st Johns

empowered 1t to confer all university
degrees, and in 1883 the title of the in

east the great water reservoir towers
on a high elevation like a relic of a

Chinese Determined to
Exterminate Whites

Special to The Globe.
HONGKONG, March 14-Those who
saw the way in which the dowager
empress accepted her humiliation at
the hands Of the powers and who know
thoroughly the character of the wom-
an responsible for the last outbreak,
said at the time the European troops
left China, wait"
Since that suspicious occasion events
have moved quickly. The wicked old
woman who has usurped the Chinese
throne, yelling her plans carefully, has
succeeded in getting at her disposal
already an army Of cut-throats to
which those constituting the Boxer
movement were a mere bagatelle.
Her present plans, If one may be-
lieve what seems to be beyond the
peradventure Of a doubt, include the
massacre Of all the Christians and
Caucaslans in China. This time the
scheme is to be no mere dream like
that Of the Boxers, but the foreign
devils are to be annihilated d)mplete-
ly and forever shut out of China.
To those who do not comprehend the
deceptive character of-the Chinese and
the remarkable features Of their life
generally, there are no signs of dam
ger apparent. Talk to those who know
however, and they will tell you that
there is a storm brewing to which the
last was not a circumstance.
The missionaries in the interior are
daily receiving proofs of this changing
attitude on the part of the popuIace
They have never felt secure since the
last uprising, and know that the covert
encouragement given by the dowager
empress to the followers of such men
as Prince Tuan and Using Flu Hsiang
has never wavered for an instant in
spite of her apparent yielding to the
wishes Of the reform party.
No one knows how Viceroy Yuan
Shih Kai would act in the face of a
popular outburst against the foreign
ers. He controls the only body of we'll
disciplined troops in the empire, and
Tien-Tsin would be entirely at his
mercy.
The charge that such a condition Of
affairs does actually exist In China
may be very unpleasant to many al
Vanced Cinnamon, and doubtless is so,
for many Of these men have their
hearts set on genuine reforms, and are
doing their best to carry out the pro-
gramme which 1t is hoped will event.

among the nations. These men hate
TO hear suggestion made to the eff

midst and fam would close their ears
to the mutterings of the Boxer ele-
ment
1t is from the densely ignorant mass
es OF the towns and villages of the
interior that the new army Of pa
triots will spring. These people have
been taught to believe such things
about the Europeans as that they are

The Auditor and Editor.


The time having arrived for ,be
County Auditor to make hia annual
tour Of the county for the purpose of
receiving tax returns, W. left our
home last Monday morning in COM
pany with him, our destination being
CASTOR, and after pleasant, if some
what tedious drive, We arrived ut
that place without an incident worthy
of relating. We found quite num-
ber of the property owners in that
part of the moral vineyard congre-
gated to tell the accommodating
Auditor the amount of their worldly
possessions and others who failed on
this particular morning to tumble
out of bed at the sound of the cocks
crow and thereby became belsted,
arrived through the course of the
day and the Auditor had his hands
full in the performance of bis duties.
CASTOR is pretty place and It's
reputation for healthfulness is begin
ming to attract the attention OF those
who are in search of a pleasant and
healthy place to build homes for
themselves and families, aud Is max
Jog some pretentions Of possessing
the requirements necessary to make
ita first class health resort. Since our
last visit to that place Mr.. Frick
Mack has purchased the DR.. Will
liams place and has made some i'm.
proVements on it. We opine that
before be gets through with it he
will have one of the prettiest places
in that section of the county. It
was our pleasure to dine with him
and We were received Hospitality aud
went on our way rejoicing feeling
that it was good for US to have been
there.
We spent the night pleasantly
with our old friend, D. Elmore Graft,
and were greatly refreshed by the
nights rest. The next morning the
monotony of our experience was
broken by our horse becoming fright
ened by the Auditor and made a
dash for liberty and was making for
home with all four feet when caught.
A large amount of corn was made in
this section last season and most of
the farmers will have enough to do
them until the next crop is gathered.
The next point of interest was
Swansea, where we spent two days.
The place is steadily improving, both
as to improvements and population.
The first night we spent with the
Auditors kinsfolk, Mr.. W. Andrew
Derrick. We remember him from
our boyhood days. Mr.. Derrick is
what might be termed an invalid, he
having suffered a stroke of paralysis
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1903-01-21

from the effects of which he has
never fully recovered. The second
night We spent with that cultured
Christian gentleman, DR.. W. T.
Brooker, and were highly entertained.
He has a pretty residence and very
pleasant home.
After leaving Swansea We drove
twelve miles to Red Store and met
a large number of the people of that
vicinity. We erjnyed fine dinner
at the home of Mrs. Fritz Muller,
who, together with her sister, Mrs.
Lou James, succeeded in making the
time spent beneath their roof pass
pleasantly. Mr.. Gerhard Muller is
the leading spirit of that community
and is high toned, honorable gen.
tlemsn and is deservedly popular.
The shades of night found US
comfortably domiciled at the home
or Mr.. J. Archie Wolfe, whose latch
string We always find on the outside
and an abundance of hearty welcome
on the inside. Notwithstanding
friend Archie was unavoidably absent
from home at the time of our visit,
We were kindly received and pleas
antly entertained by his son-in-law,
Mr.. Herbert Geiger, and his charm
ing wife. Mr.. Geiger now has
general superintendency OF the place
and is certainly making things around
him flourish ss the green bay tree.
He manages the affairs of the farm
with excellent judgment and is an
industrious young man.
Our next stopping place was at
MIR. W. M. Martins and after enjoy
ing such dinner ss only Mrs.
Martin knows how to prepare, We
commenced the work in hand until
all those who had come out to make
their returns had been attended to.
Mr.. Martin is one of the best farm
ers in Lexington county. His stock
are all in good condition, his corn
cribs are full to overhowing and bis
hogs are exceptionally fine.
Brookland was the next place on
the schedule. Brookland is certainly
on the high road to progress. The
place is wonderfully improving in all
it's varied interests. Many new resi-
dences are in the course of construc
ton and the merchants all seem tc
be doing a good business and the
people are happy and contented with
their surroundings. They are highly
elated over the. bright prospects Of
being connected with the court
house by the electric railway and the
development Crystal Lake into 6
pleasure resort. This closed the
first week of our tour.
