Many Riding the Cars.

Everybody seems to be riding on the trolley cars tonight" said a citizen. T don't believe I have yet seen so many people traveling about this summer UT course the Red Mems jubilee at the lake is responsible for the crowds of people who fill the East Lake cars to over flowing. but all the other lines in the city seem to be doing a big business. l don't believe l have passed car to- night that was not comfortably filled. l suppose a great many people l saw were merely taking a ride for the fresh air If so, think they could not have found more delightful way to while away an hour or two during the evening while getting cool. Trolley rides on summer nights are luxuries that are appreciated in many of the southern cities"

WRGlNIAs NEW PRESIDENT.
pr. Alderman Is One of south's Great
 Educators.

From the Outlook.
 The acceptance of the presidency of the University of Virginia by Dr. Edwin A. Alderman of Tulane University, New Or leans, brings to an institution of great distinction and of wide opportunities Of usefulness one of the most representative southern teachers, scholars, and speak CTS; southern orator who combines the fervor and eloquence of the old south with the restraint. moderation, and bal ance of the New South; a scnolar whose knowledge has been at the service, or the public, and who has already demon strated his capacity in more than one difficult position The natural deference to the original plan of Mir. Jefferson for the University of Virginia has made the trustees of that institution reluctant to change its form of government in order to bring it in line with the most eff cient methods of modern college admins tration; but, after long discussion and deiberation. both trustees and faculty have come to the conclusion that more closely knit organization is essential to the progress of great university. They could not have found more competent man in the south. nor one who will more adequately interpret the spirit of a uni- versity than Dr. Alderman. It Is piece of good fortune that he is not yir- ginian. since one of the limitations of the institution has been a little excess of devotion to the traditions of the state. Those traditions generous and noble as they have been, canot constitute the capi- tai of a modern university; and the Uni versity of Virginia will profit by a closer association with other institutions and

Mount of Holy Cross.

Although we do not hear so much these days of the Mount of the Holy Cross, this scenic wonder is still to be seen in Colorado, and is well worth the time to any tourist who is giving the western mountains his attention. This remarka- ble formation may be seen from the Den yer and Rio Grande bridge at Mile Post 292, as the train rounds the curve. This mile post is about two miles west of the Red Cliff station. The mountain lies off to the west of the railroad. about seven miles distant and if you ever take trip over the Denver and Rio Grande through Colorado do not fail to look for the great cross.''

especially with the renaissance of edu- cational interest in the south. Dr. Alder man is graduate of the University of North Carolina, which has furnished so many of the present educational lead CTS in that section. He was for some years a teacher in the State Industrial College for Women at Greensboro. He threw himself into the campaign for the better ment of public education in the state with the ardor of a reformer. the zeal of an evangelist and the knowledge of a trained teacher. He canvassed the state from end to end, holding meetings with Dr. McIver and other leaders of the movement in out-of-the-way school houses. lonely churches, and neglected Villages, and he is now seeing the fruit of his labors in the enthusiasm of state for popular education under the leader ship of a progressive and far-seeing gov ernor Under his direction the Universi- ty of Virginia, which has done so much for American education and which ranks amongst its foremost institutions, will not lose the charm and generous enthusiasm of the old south but win gain in efficien- cy, in receptivity to modern methods and influences, and will put itself more close ly in touch with contemporary life

cates at the same time Then the whole lot is returned, sometimes with an altered check and sometimes with the story that the check has been lost.
 The first plan is almost sure of ex- posture, for the alteration is seldom cleverly made; but in the latter case it may go through without suspicion. If this happens, 1t is not long before the shoplifter is getting the money on things of value; and though she may manage it cleverly she is even more apt to be caught when returning the goods than when she takes them. There is usually some little weak point in her story, or nervousness in the manner of telling it. which at first arouses suspicion. If this is the case, steps are taken to see if the address which is given to get the offset check is the right one. If it is not. then. of course. the person Is watched, and it is only a question of time until she is found out.
 "If she is smooth enough not to give her own address the exposure IS pu, off a little longer. It is bound to come, how ever, from the fact that when she has succeeded once, this tlass of thief loses all caution and thinks she has easy money It is usually something im- possible to guard against which betrays her, as, for instance. case which was prosecuted not long ago. The theft was of something of which there did not happen to be a duplicate in the stock.
 "A noticeable thing Is the disappearance of the old and rich 'kleptomaniac,' who has husband or relatives that pay for what she may take. Those whom we have most to fear nowadays also belong to a respectable class, but they are stealing simply for the money they can get out of it. The woman who steals what she wants for herself Is extremely rare"
