Having nominated Parker. Hill viz
tualy withdrew from participation in
the management of the campaign, 1eav-
ing its conduct almost entirely TO the
nominee ard his official advisers More
than that, because he was fearful that
political enemies might make capital out
of any ostentation he might display, the
State leader remained away from Rose
mont during the entire canvass and
called only once or twice upon the ur-
gent invitation of the nominee. The de-
feat Of his friend upon election day WAS
one Of the most heartfelt blows Hill
ever suffered in his career and, if his
decisicn to retire had not been already
formed, this Democratic disaster would
surely have strengthened his detcrmlna-
tioH to Quit the field of politics.
May Travel Now.
Hill has resided in Albany since 1892.
and has practiced law in his present Of
flee since that time. His official resi-
dence here covered a period of nine
years, TWO lieutenant governor and
seven as governor He has been active
in political life ever since he entered
politics, and for the last fifteen wears
has been a factor. if not the controlling
leader. in shaping Democratic politics
! il the State.
Other public men have taken vaca-
tions, but Hill has devoted most of his
| leisure moments to the service Of his
party. never having visited Europe OF
/ the Pacific Coast. 1t is likely that he

! the coming year.

Ha1npden-Sidney College.

Hampden- Sidney College, one among the
oldest educational institutions in vir-
gina, has just closed Its 19O4-'O5 term
1t is gratifying to note that the visitors
who attended the commencement excr-
| ciGcs of the old college are unanimous
in the verdict that this commencement
season has been the most enjoyable in all
respects of any for years. More OF the
alumni attended the exercises and re-
newcd old acquaintnnces than have been
OH tho grounds In q quarter OF a CEN
fury, and the list Of visitors and well
wishers OF the institution outside Of the
alumni was larger than for q long time.
The general interest manifested in the
welfare of the college was greater and
more encouraging TO the faculty and
friends than usual, IL that were poss-
BILE; the loyalty Of the alumni was espe-
cially gratifying but the most pleasing
feature Of tho season was the evidence,
and there was an abundance Of it, that
tho old college is taking on new life.
The attendance the past term was greater
than the year before, and already tile
number Of students registered Cor the
next term is nearly double that of the
attendance for the term just closed. This
remarkable fact is explained by one OF
the trustees with the statement that
heretofore the college has depended al
most entirely upon It's reputation anu
the power Of its past history to attract
patronage. It has been determined to
adopt modern methods, and for the past
few months active efforts have been put
forward by agents in the field At the
next meeting Of the trustees, which will
be held some time in July, president
will be elected to fill the vacancy that
las been existing for some months, and
it is the belief Of the friends OF Tie
old institution that It will start upon a
new career of prosperity with the begin
ming OF the new term in the fall.
