ADJUSTMENTS
At the Bljou.

"The Lighthouse by the Sea-" delighted another audience at the Bijou theatre last night. The play as an interesting plot, is exceptionally well staged and is interpreted by a company that is much more talented than is usually to be found in melodrama attraction. The thrilling lighthouse rescue scene, when young girl walks across a clothesline from cliff to the top of the tower and starts the light to burning after it has been ex- tinguished by the villains, is one of the most exciting parts of the play and is so well staged that it never fails to awaken great enthusiasm Al the scenic effects are good and the play is one of the best melodramas that has been seen at the Bijou this season. There will be the usual performance tonight.

FACULTY IS FIRM.
Resignation of Students Sewers Their
 Connection With Institution.

Lynchburg, Va, December 13.--A spec ial from Blackesburg to the News states that the position of the Virginia Military Institute faculty in regard to the trouble with the junior class is in substance as follows:
 That a member was dismissed as one of the party who hung in effigy the com mandant of the cadets. He confessed, but plead that it was a joke. The faculty re- fused to accept the excuse, and told him 1t was a matter which could not be joked about.
 The president and board of visitors held that such license impaired the dis cipline of the institution. The class took It up and contended that the decision was unjust and left in a body. The faculty holds that such action has finally sever ed their connection with the institutioh'

was the victim Of the worst lombard
ment by hail which we have known in
this section. The hailstones were not as
large as bushel baskets but we can furn-
ish reliable testimony that some of
them were not much smaller. Such
trifling affairs as ice brickbats were COM
mon, and those that were only the size
OF goose eggs attracted no attention
whatever. Shingle roofs, awnings, tin
roofs and window screens were no pro-
tectlon at all, the stones going through
them Just as il they were made of paper.
