Pastor Resigns.

Rev. A. T. Erickson has resigned
the pastorate of the Baptist church
here and accepted that of4he Bap-
fist church at Waupaca, this state.
He will take charge of his new fiel d
the first of August. Mr.. Erickson
came here three years ago from
Granite Falls, Mimi, where he had
preached five and a half years.
The people of this community will
very much regret the removal of
MIR. Erickson and his esteemed
wife from among them for they
have won a warm place in the affec-
tions of all. Their influence in
the community is helpful. The city
can i'll afford to lose from its reli-
gious and social life such forces for
its good. Mr.. Erickson is recog-
nized as a strong man in the pulpit
and it has long been foreseen that
his capabilities demanded and
would secure a wider field. Wau-
paca is a place of between three
and four thousand inhabitants, the
county seat of Waupaca county,
while the Baptist church there has
a membership of something like,
two hundred. Waupaca is the seat
of the Wisconsin Veterans Home,
an institution that accommodates
1000 veterans.

members are prosecuting a quiet
but effective campaign. The lodge
is governed by an able and conscien-
tious corps of officers and the mem
bers are consistent people. The
weekly meetings are made attrac-

lodge is divided into two sections,
each of which is required to pre-
sent a program of entertainment for

President John Francis Sims.

NAL of last week, the Board of Re-
gents of Normal Schools chose Pro
! fessor Sims for President of the sis.
ter school at Stevens Point. While
the Professors host of friends here
regret to part with the genial Family
that during ten years has contribute
ed in every appropriate way to the
interests of the city, a tidal wave OF
delight flowed over mems counter
ances whenN his election was an
nounced on the street last Thurs
day afternoon. The Professor will,
it is believed, fill the new place full
of activities that will make good his
claim to the high title of TEACHER.
Mr.. Sims was born at Buffalo,
New York, April 21st, 1862, but in
early childhood, came with his pa
rents to live at Manitowoc in this
state. He attended public schools,
and was graduated in 1881 from a
Manitowoc high school, having
taught away from home while main
tanning his studies during the last
! year in school, thus manifesting
the characteristic self reliance that
| has marked his later career.
He taught rural schools during
two years, and during 1883-1891 he
taught the township high school at
Colby, and in 1891 he was made SUI
perintendent and principal at Ona-
laska, Wis, In 1896 he was invited
into the faculty of the State Normal
School in this city, where he has
given instruction, holding the regu-
lar assignment as Conductor of
Teachers Institutes since 19O3,-
though he performed institute work
continuously during the past fifteen
years, and has taught a total of
twenty-seven years.
In 1885 Mr.. Sims wrote the
schemes" of the State Board of
Examiners, and received from State
Superintendent Robert Graham, an
unlimited state certificate. During
twenty years he has been thought
full student in sociology and has at
tanned distinction in the greatest of
pedagogic arts, that of eliciting
students immediate interest which
in turn, results in self sustained eff
fort.
Last year the Wisconsin Teach
ers' Association elected the Profess
sor president, and he is organizing
it's work and-will preside at its an
nua1 meeting next December. This
volunteer association has originated
most Of the leading pedagogic steps
that have been formulated into stat
utes by the legislatures during the
past fifty years.
The Professor has been success
full in commercial enterprises, but
his prime interest will continue in
school, where he will be found an
appreciative master and a stimula-
tive co-worker with all persons in
his institution, who are faithful to
it's purposes. In public utterance,
educational topics have justly en-
gagged his attention, and no auditor
need to have gone from his pres
ence destitute of inspiration and
enlightenment.
President Sims immediate family
consists of wife only; and Mrs.
Sims will afford refined, tactful
influence in social relations of the
school and the community. She
will bear warm sympathy to the stu
dents that are away from home in
Lsearch of the worlds acquaintance.
The President will be found an
agreeable citizen who will cooper
ate in general affairs of public in
terest, and in the social touch at
the scene of his labors.

are made patients of this class be cared for
at the emergency hospitals under the con-
tract system. Further, an estimate for
5000 has been inserted in the budget for
the Washington Asylum. which, if granted
Will provide temporary accommodation for
such patients as viii require a more pro-
longed detention, and in the course of
year or two the board will urge an appro-
priation for the erection of suitable deten-
ton wards in connection with the site on
which the present tuberculosis buildings are
being constructed.
Caring for Children.
Several important Developments in the
work of caring for children by the various
charity institutions and numerous changes
in the laws in reference thereto are brought
out in the report of the board of charities
Home for White Children. which is now To-
Gated on property within the limits of the
Naval Observatory circle, was discussed at
much length. The board favors selling the
property to the Navy Department and
urges speedy transaction.
The sum of $279, 400 was appropriated for
the current fiscal year for the care of the
insane in the District A good deal has
been said and published in the newspapers
during the past year, it Is stated, in refer
ence to the cost of caring for INDECENT In
sane at the government hospital, so the
board proposes to make q detailed and for
of a close study. and therefore, little atten-
ton was paid to It in its report. It did
say. however. that there Is no reason to
believe that the percentage Of insanity In
the District is excessive ~ compared with
other communities.

but he has outbreaks when he is addressed
converse with them at times and indulging
in loud and profane language at other
times. Only few days ago, when Warden
Harris went to his cell to tell him that
he would not be executed at the time
originally set, he INDUCED in profanity.
When the warden first went to his cell and
called to him he made no response. Then
the warden told him of the action that had
been taken postponing the execution.
II don't care what they have done,"
Burge shouted. adding an oath TN hang
myself now. Everybody knows am crazy
and that they've got no business to hang
me-"
When he was taken to court last Monday
Burge shocked the court and others in the
Then he turned to the jury that had case
under consideration and told the jurors
what they should do with the man who was
on trial. Burge has not been in the habit
of complaining about the treatment he re-
-ceved but sometimes he refuses to eat
when the guards are near his cell. He
eats enough, however. to keep his body
well nourished. The Sunday religious serv-
ices in the rotunda of the Jail do not at
while they are being held.
Nothing has been said by the condemned
man about the disposition of his body after
he is executed. Rev. Mr.. Roberts has
ascertained that the mother and father Of
Burge reside at Lynchburg, Va, and has
communicated with them. No response,
however. has been received

pital, and as soon as provisions shall have
been made for the more urgent needs Of
the INDECENT poor it is the intention of
the board to recommend the erection of
such building on less expensive site
already owned by the District of Column
bia.
In the light of our recent experience with
hospital plans and construction, 1t is con-
fidently believed that a building with a
by the board of the Columbia Hospital
can be erected at a cost not to exceed
s150,0OO which would save the government
$4,000 in buildings, site at an esti-
mated value of 100000 not to mention a
very decided decrease in administration ex-
penses. Moreover the building suggested
by the board Of charities would be devoted
exclusively to the care of INDECENT patients.
As the building proposed by the trustees of
Columbia Hospital would include a provi-
sion for fifty pay patients, it would afford
accommodations for only 100 INDECENT pa
tents as against the $50 that could be pro-
of charities"
Pressing Need Emphasized.
The board emphasized the pressing need
of hospital accommodations for general
chronic cases and convalescent patients.
also for the temporary detention of insane
persons and of cases Of alcoholism who may
be arrested or who may fall into the Gus
toby of the police to be detained pending
their examination and legal disposition. AL
coholic and insane persons are patients in
every sense of the term, and recourse to the
police station or jail for such casas is In
human and uniustifable. The b, has re-
quested that until more suitable provisions
