Capt. VIM. Quinn
Capt. Quinn came to Greenville
about 10 years ago and since the day
of his arrival has been in one way
or the other connected with the city's
police department. He was man of
undaunted courage, detective by
nature, and an officer of ability. For
a number of years he was the city 5
marshal and at the time of his death
was the captain of the force. No
man had bigger or more tender
heart towards his fellow man than
Capt. VIM Quinn, and his rash act
has produced a pale of sorrow over
the entire city. He was member
OF the Catholic church and OF the
local lodge of Elks. In his death he
leaves a true wife, three loving
daughters and one son to mourn hii
untime1y departure.
The Times tenders its heartfelt
sympathies to the bereaved

Is to be held in the Convention Hall of
the jamestown exposition on May % and
%. This convention was organized two years
ago at st. Louis, and It was at that time

necessary arrangements could not be made
between the Baptist of the north and the
south last year. however. and the conven-
ton went over. This years meeting fol-

Russian Students.

Prince Kropotkin in the Windsor Magazine.
Nowhere Is the university and nowhere
the students held in such high esteem as in
Russia. For the average educated Russian
university professor is not merely a
scholar who teaches chemistry or mathe-
mates or law to a number of young men.
This Is all very. well for a teacher In
lyceum, but much more Is expected of a
professor.
The latter II he keeps true to the good
old traditions, must be an enthusiast and
a philosopher in his subject. He must pos
sess a spark of the divine fire, SO as to be
able to inspire his students with the wor-
ship of science and truth and, above all,
he must be a man Of advanced thought
one of those who make history. and not
one of those who let themselves be drag
ged along by historical events.
AS to the student. he, too. must not
merely be a young man who studies GER
tain matters in order to become In due
time a doctor or lawyer SO as to get
earnings SO much higher than those of an
artisan. This might do for the men whose
one aim Is to make a successful career"
and Of whom, of course, there are a num-
Der in each university, but the true stu
dent must be a. worshiper of science and
aria seeker of truth, one of those whom
the great philosophical questions of human
understanding interest and perplex more
than the miserable petty questions con-
corning personal welfare, and one who has
come to the university to find there a reply
to these questions.

eral conference for Christian workers, es-
tablshed by D. L. Moody. 1t attracts i'm
mense crowds from every state in the
Union and from England, in addition to
being a rallying ground for missionaries.

ference addresses and the series Of lee

opportunity for closer study, will hold
many of the summer visitors.
