These various efforts on my part to

foundation and to advance It's usefulness
In all departments have caused opposi-

further reason to believe that the Demon

not originate with them, but was instigated
and fostered by certain interested persons
who desired to get rid of me as president
and have the headship of the university in
the hands of some one more plant to their
wishes.

President of the Institution Reviews
History of Recent Troubles and
Denies Allegations.

One chapter, at least, in the Howard Uni
versity dispute has been closed by the board
OF trustees. in yesterday accepting the res
igna ton of DIR. John Gordon, the president
of the university. It is quite possible. how
ever, that the issue ra:sed will reca.ye
further consideration. Dr.. Gordon accom-
panied his letter OF resignation by state
ment detailing the history OF his connection
with the university. and stating plainly that
lie was forced out by the failure OF the
board to give lin the support that was
necessary for the president to have in order
to maintain proper control over the stu
dents.
Howard University is in part supported
by the government. About haif of its funds
-S45,CO0-co:nes from Congress. and it is
possible that the whole system of the school
may be subjected TO an investigation. This
is a matter of the future. 1t * stated in
this connection that the university, since
its commencement, has bean subjejct 10
more or less friction with all of its presi-
dents. Gen. Howard. the first president,
was forced to resign. ami d Cd soon after.
His successor, DIR. Pattel, dtso resigned,
and spent the TWO remaining years OF his
life in a sanatarium, broken 4 o.yn in health,

ing, Il Is Salu, TO the same I1th OF ndrWOnS
in the university. and, died before his resig
nation could take effect.
DR.. Gordon, who came TO the school with
high hopes for the elevation of the univer-
sHty and all il stood for, and who was as
suTed I'm writing OF the support OF the board
in any changes he thought~i il necessary to
make, has now teCn forced out by the trou-
BILE. which he says did not originate with
the students themselves. but which was

For the period Of three years had
been afflicted by Malaria Fever, n
nv sufferings were such that ! was
unable to do any kind OF work, or at
tend to my business. I procured and
used many patent medicines without
deriving from any Of them any bene-
fit to my health, and having lost all
hope Of recovering my health, It was
my good fortune to meet the excellent
good lady, Mrs. Emile M. de Delgado,
OF this city, who kindly recommended
me the use of La Sanadora" for my
case. and she herself gave me the
medicine according TO directions, and
1t resulted In a complete restoration
of my lost health. After three days
that | had been using the medicine, ]
felt so well that thereafter my energy
to move returned and my health Is
excellent. | always keep at home this
wonderful medicine, and II Is a great
satisfaction to me to know that Its
use In any kind Of similar diseases
shall always prove a blessing. And

avail themselves Of this medicine, as

CAPABLE MEN.

William X. Drake, republican can

county commissioner. Mr.. Drake
made a good impression and Mr..
Hanson made a good guide. The
"Old War Horse is just us certain
as ever that the republicans are go
ing to sweep the county one week
from today and we agree with him.
Mr.. Drake, coming from Stelton, is
not as we'll known in these parts as
his colleagues, Drs. Crowther and
Haines, but he is not hard getting ac-
quainted and will not run behind his
ticket hereabouts. All three assem-
bly, candidates, as well as the "Old
Wan Horse" are good, reliable men
and deserve to be elected. There is
no doubt but that the best interests
of MiddleseX county will be properly
taken care of under their direction.
