station here to-day. The body was
taken over the Pennsylvania Railroad

made the occasion Of a labor demon

the cortege was without incident The
men marched solemnly four abreast
each bearing upon his coat lapel a
white button with the inscription in
black: We mourn the loss Of a muir
dered brother"
Even the spectacle Of three coal
wagons manned by non-union negroes
near the Union Station elected no more
than mutterings as the column filed by.
The only break in the serious mien of
the men occurred when a patrol wag-
on called in anticipation OF trouble.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.

Much dissatisfaction has been
stirred up through the county by
the enforcement of the compulsory
vaccination law. DR.. S. B. Ar
ment, the representative of the state
department of health, has been Wis
iting the schools in the county. to
ascertain to what extent the law
is being observed.
This law may be an oppressive
one, but it is the law of the state
and its enforcement, if hardship,
is the fault of the law itself, and
not the fault Of those who are COM
PEELED to enforce it. DR.. Arment
has his instructions from the state
department, and he must obey those
orders or turn the job over to some
one who will do so.
The law requires all teachers to
refuse admission to schools Of any
pupil except upon the certificate Of
a physician that the child has been
successfully vaccinated, or that it
has had smallpox. A penalty Of
not less than five dollars, nor more
than one hundred, Lay be imposed
for violation of this law. The teach
er is placed in a very unpleasant
position. If he does not send the
children home he will be prosecuted
by the state board of health, and if
he does send them home he arouses
the wrath of the parents of the dis
t1ict. 1t is an unfortunate situat-
ion, bot so long as it is the law it
must be obeyed, and those who are
obliged to enforce it ought not to
be censured for doing what the law
compels them to do. The only
remedy is to secure some moditica-
tions of the law at the next session
of the legislature in 1907. Until
then nothing can be gained by re-
fusal to comply,

TRINITY COLLEGE

Rev. DR.. William w. Webb,
President of Nashotah College,
Wisconsin, has been elected Bishop
Coadjutor of the Diocese of Mil,
waukee by the Episcopal Conven.
ton. He is graduate Of Trinity
College, Hartford.
This institution has supplied
more Bishops to the Episcopal
church than any other one college
in the country. Those now living
are Bishop Niles of New Hamp-
shire; Bishop Nichols of California;
Bishop Cheshire of Georgia; Bishop
Barnwell of South Carolina; Bishop
Nelson, coadjutor Of the Diocese
of Albany; Bishop Mackay-Smith,
coadjutor of the Diocese of Penn
sylvania and others. Other Trinity
men who have been elected to the
bishopric in different dioceses and
declined, are Rev. DR.. Morgan Of
New Haven; Rev. DR.. Fiske Of
Providence, Rhode Island Rev.
DR.. Hart of Middletown, Conn. );
Rev. DR.. Williams of Augusta,
Georgia.
Many other graduates of this
college have become distinguished
in various walks OF life, as judges,
lawyers, physicians, business men,
architects, civil engineers, etc.
There was prevalent at one time
an understanding that Trinity Col
lege was a sort of preparatory
school for the Episcopal ministry,
but this idea has been entirely dis
PEELED. The numerous courses
there have no more to do with
special theological training than
any of the secular institutions of
the country. Trinity does seek to
produce christian gentlemen, and
its lists of students includes repre-
sentatives Of nearly every religious
denomination.
Beautifully situated in beauti-
full city, under the presidency of
Rev. DR.. +. S. Luther the attend
ance is rapidly increasing, and a
large number OF the states have
representatives among the students.
The Freshman class this year num-
bers seventy and twenty-five more
failed to pass the examination for
admission. A much larger class
is expected next year.
If there are any young men in
this vicinity who contemplate
going to college next year, the ed
tor of this paper will be pleased to
give them any desired information
concerning Trinity College.
