that here. In Chester. no ne wcases have
been announced, even In the qunrantincd

The hope prevails that there will be no
contagion from the case here Under
the requirement that the pupils of the
public school should be vaccinated. there
were only about half the attendance at
the school here to-day. many of the pa

There seems to be an increasing opposi-

of the cases where any bad results follow

MUST GIVE TO

Dr.. Hening Points Out What
Cities Will Do to Secure Pro-
posed Institution.

In the absence of Or. George w. Me-
Daniel the pulpit of the First Baptist
Church was occupied Sunday morning
by Or. B. c. Henlng, of this city. who
spoke in the interest of Christian educa-
ton In general and the proposed Central
Woman's College in particular.
DR.. Honing said that the policy Of
the Baptists in the past toward the
education OF young women had been carc-
less and even ruinous. Now it is pro-
posed to use the same plan in the man
agement OF UNCONVENTIONAL schools for
girls that has been so successful in the
education Of the young men.
To that end 1t is proposed to have
the Central College under Baptist con-
troll and to make the smaller colleges
in the State tributary to It. DR.. Hening
pointed out the advantages In having
such a college located here and said that
tho outlay, needed to locate he insiu-
ton In Richmond would be repaid many
times over In the course of a few years.
Several other cities In the State are
anxious to get the college, among them,
Staunton, Charlottesville, Lynchburg,
and Bristol. The little town OF Char
lottesvlle ut one time offered the sum
of $1,000 as an nducement. In order
to bring the college to Richmond the
Raptists OF Richmond must raise sloo,O
1t Is said.
