MAT IS CONG g. Ar The
uNsLnS!ii ON the HILL

AT the chapel service this morning
President Faunce introduced Rev. Mr..
Fenniman an old Brown man, who gave
a short address on the upbuilding OF Re
we're college In Kentucky. Mr.. Penni-
man was very interesting and charmed
his hearers with has dialogue. ttg s1ft
in part:
one Of the first questions people ask me
is where is Revere college. 1t IS about
an hours ride from Cincinnati and in the
mountain region of Kentucky. Here are
preserved all the old feudal customs and
manners just as they existed in England
The people are ignorant, and as ignorance
is Jealous OF intelligence when 1t raises
its head above the dark living of environ
ment, the people are suspicious. To get
intelligence requires eXertion, while with
ignorance laziness is associated. The
primitive man, as is typical Of this region,
is almost antagonistic to intelligence and
the conversion Of the mountaineer is a
difficult task.
Mr.. Penniman then recited an address
that gaunt. ignorant mountaineer had
made at the convention, of which he was
leader. In true southern dialect and the
Kind that we hear I'm modern melodramas,
whose plots are laid in the heart Of the
Wild. mountain regions, he captured
everybody I'm the hall with his reproduc-
ton OF that address. die told how the
mountaineer had observed that all the
'larned' folks that came into that region
We're meaner than the devil. but when he
had seen the kindness and intelligence OF
the "larned folks at the convention his
great noble nature yearned that his chill
dren might have the benefit of a higher
education than was possible In the rude
ness and simplicity or the mountain life.
And" Mr.. Penniman continued, their
voices are calling TO every one OF you for
aid and help in their ignorance"
The varsity track team has been Sc
lected and the following men are TO run:
II. A. Kelley. 'O6; II. IA. Thurlow, or; j.
r. Honiss. '0s, and j. w. Mayhem. 90.
These men Will represent Brown in the

on the varsity teams and member OF the
Cummarian club. is at the Rhode Island
hospital, where the doctors are unable 10
tell what disease he has. lie will prob
ably be confined there several weeks. This
is unfortunate for Brown. as he is one OF
her ablest representatives in the debate

as the crux OF Count Whites difficult

be taken up for consideration by the
council OF the empire on Feb g.
II involves the appropriation OF sib.0oo,- :
600 for the compensation OF private own

Perusal OF the project for the abolition
OF capital punishment shows that, while
the ostensible object OF the measure IL
really a carefully designed plan TO
strengthen the hands OF the government
in dealing with armed revolution, it con-
tains a Joker" removing certain catergo-
ries OF political crimes from the jurisdic-
tion OF the civil courts. and making them
triable only by court-martal. even where
martial law. or its modified form, rein
forced for security, IS not declared.
The project states that all those killing
or attempting to kill government ofri-
clals. soldiers and police. as well as those
concerned in throwing bombs. must he
tried not by civil courts. but by court
martial, there being no alternative in a
case OF conviction except death, though
In an exceptional case the court may peti-

The project, which was drafted by Min
lstcr u the Interior DurnovO and Min

sidered tomorrow at an extraordinary ses-
sion OF the council OF tie empire.
