THERE trouble ia the Virgins

cumber of members of the junior class
have resigned, and others threaten 70 40
likewise A cadet had been requested
by the faculty to resign for participating
in the hanging in eftigy Of the cadet COM
nander. DR.. McBryds was appealed 10
nv the students in behalf OF their COM
panion, and not meeting the success they
anticipated, the youngsters sent an uiti-
matum to the faculty that the class would
resign if the cadet were not reinstated.
He was not reinstated aud the resigna-
tions followed. Without knowing any
more about the incident than is printed
in the newspapers, it is apparent to mt 81
people that the faculty must have bad
what it regarded as good reasons Tor its
action, while the friends Of the student
instituted a remarkable course in an at.
tempt to attain their object. Discipline
is essential in all institutions, and the
cadets showed a sad lack OF wisdom in
making such strange demand upon the
faculty.

The University Of Chicago is the re-
cipient of another gift from john d.
Rockefeller, according to d member OF
the advisory committee OF the Baptist
Theological Union. Between $1,000
900 and 5000, 900 is said to be the
amount ofthe endowment The money,
it is understood, is to be used for the
creation of a school of engineering. Mr..
Rockefeller. like some others who have
ama-sed colossal fortunes, would Ike TO
perretuate his name among future gen
eiations IN universities and Libraries,
while millions in this world, who are
struggling for existence or are IN want oil
the necessaries of life, are all around
him. The poor, the lame, the halt and
blind, we are told, cannot recompsnse
their benefactors, but the latter are as
sured of recompense at the resurrection
of the just. But it is the praise of men
which dazzles the great majority.

sentsting August W. Mschen, Diller

also agreed to. Mr.. Uhler explained
that the works were being run TO their
full capacity and that two more beaches
were needed. He also said the gas bills
should not be made out ITO Alexan-
dria Gas Works" as there was no such
corporation, but to 'The City Council Of
Alexandria.
Mr.. Uhler introduced an amendment
to an ordinance reducing the time
allowed for the payment of gas bills.
He explained that, under the present
law, 40 days were necessary before the
gas could be cut off from delinquents.
The present bill reduced that term to
thirty days.
The amendment was agreed to, yeas
IA nays, 0.
Mr.. Brill called up the ordnance
granting to G. F. Thompson and his as.
SOCRATES the privilege of furnishing cleo.
trio light and power to Alexandria.
Mr.. Bryan opposed vote at this
meeting, as only IA we're present, and
Mr.. Strauss and Mr.. Williams favored
immediate action.
Mr.. Leadbeater wished to know how
much it would cost for the city to fur
nish electricity as proposed by Mr..
Thompson.
Mr. Bryan said about $40, 900 for the
plant, &c.
Mr.. Strauss declared that the sale OF
the electric works would ruin the reve-
nue. from the gas works. The present
electric plant, be said, is good for the
next three years.
Mr.. Leadbeaier wished to know how
the money could be raised.
Mr.. Strauss said we could spend less
money on sewers.
Mr.. Leadbeater urged that if street
improvement had been made long ago,
the city would now have money to es-
tablish an electric plant. We had put
the cart before the horse.
Mr.. Strauss opposed the sale aud said
it would never be made by his vote.
Electricity would be sold cheaper than
gas and the gas works would be render
ed yalueless.
Mr.. Leadbeater asked if the proposed
contract did not provide that the price OF
electricity should be controlled by the
city.
Mr.. Williams said the city could pre-
vent raise but not decrease in the
price.
Mr.. Bryan said he had never heard
that electric lights could be furnished
cheaper than gas.
Mr.. Snowden, Mr.. Uhler in the chair,
moved to postpone until next meeting,
He believed a majority favored the sale
nnd he wished all to be present when the
matter was acted upon. The motion wa:
adopted, ayes 10, nays 4.
On motion it was ordered that $24o,
withheld from the King street paving
contractors, Cuvillier & Spinks, as
guarantee for FIVE years, be now paid to
them upon the execution of proper
bond. The meeting then adjourned un-
ill January 10th.
