A ruling has been finally made by which

The particular case in which Judge Tyler
made the ruling was the trial of man

declaring that the horns must be visible,

JUDGE DARLING For SECRETARY
OF NAVY.

That New England's claim on the navy
milton is continually becoming more evil
dent, in connection with the favorable
mention of Judge Charles II. Darlings
name as successor to Secretary Moody
upon the latter's retirement. We quoted
an editorial from the Army and Navy
Journal the other day showing the favor
with which the suggestion Of Assistant
Secretary Darling's promotion was being
received in naval circles. Here is what
the Army and Navy Register says:
1.-THE report of the retirement from
public life OF the Hon William II. Moody
is once more revived. The question now
Is not so much whether Mr.. Moody Is go
Ing to leave the cabinet on March 4. be-
cause that is an incident admitted by
Mr. Moody and his friends. 1t is quite
interesting to know however. who will
succeed Mr.. Moody next March, assum-
ing that Mr.. Roosevelt continues to dis
charge the duties Of chief executive.
There do not appear to be many or any
candidates and if there are ambitions in
any quarter to that end they are discreet
ly non-committal.
"rhe only nanln which is mentioned is
that of Assistant Secretary Darling. So
long as New England appears to have
something like a call upon the naval port
folio. the geographical amenities would
be preserved by Mr.. Darling's selection
The incident. however, would have much
more to justify it and to engage the APP
proval of those who know that Mr.. Oar
ling is able to discharge the duties of Sec
rotary of the navy with a fearlessness. in
tegrity, independence. and promptness.

And struggling on, through toll and

This college built for God.
In faith they laid its corner stone,
They raised its wall with prayer
That God might bless II for His own.
And set His favor there.

Faint echoes from the past
Yet, like the prophets's names of old,
So theirs for aye shall last.
For We, their children. holding dear
These echoes OF their fame,

Gods promise stands secure,
That they on whom His love is set
Forever shall endure.
