question is one that cannot be dismissed
in a paragraph. It needs careful study.

assure our contemporaries that just as

prelude to marriage Just so long will
wages be at minimum in our rural
schools. Tho name of this class is legion.
Our high schools. academies and normal
schools are sending out persons by the
hundreds, that are Internationally quail

voice when the vote was taken.
John d. Rockefeller and his gift Of
500, 900 to the American board of for
eign missions will not be discussed at
this session Of the ministers. Many
expressed themselves as disguised with
the question and with the discussion.
Those In favor of accepting his money
could not see that discussion would ac-
complish anything or get more cash
from Mr.. Rockefeller, while those ops
posed to the proposition say that the
money had been taken without much
reluctance, and little had been gained
from debating the matter with those
who differed with them.

Washington, May 22.-President
Roosevelt will start on his southern
trip October /. lie will visit Rich
mond, Va, and make a speech there,
which will be the first of a series of
important addresses to the south. He
will then swing TO the southwark. He
expects to visit Raleigh, n. c.; from
there he will go to Jacksonville or
Tallahassee, Fla. The next stop Of i'm
portance will be at Atlanta, Ga. From
there he will go into Alabama. He
will stop at three places in that state,
Birmingham. Mobile and Tuskegee. At
the latter place he will be the guest of
the colored institute presided over by
Booker T. Washington. The next stop
will be at New Orleans, La, and from
there the president will go direct to
Little Rock, reaching there, it is now
believed, OF the morning of Thursday,
October ~. He has received an invita-
ton from the chamber of commerce of
that city and expects to be its guest
while there.
The return trip will be by the most
direct route. The president wishes TO
be back in Washington October 1G, the
day when he expects congress to meet
in extra session. Fearing there will
be a demand from cities like Cleveland,
st. Louis and Cincinnati to stop en-
route and thus delay his return beyond
the day for congress to meet, the pres
ident has thus early firmly decided
hat he will make no stops between
Little Rock and this city.
