RAISES! I I $4,000
FOR new COLLEGE
Single Gift Of $4,000 Made at
First Baptist Church Here
Yesterday.

Without the whole congregation
present. the First Baptist Church. OF
Richmond, yesterday morning sub
scribed $4,000 to the fund being raised
for the erection and endowment OF the
new Woman's College. When all the
returns are in. the sum VIII be an-s
creased to $40. 600.
The generous response made by this
church. the largest and strongest of
the denominations in Virginia. Is
thought practically to insure the sue
cess OF the movement for the college.
as country churches In all parts Of the
State are coming forward readily, IN
proportions to their means. In the coll
lection at tho First Church yesterday
there was one subscription OF $4,000
and one of $4,000. but the major por-
ton of the fund came from smaller
contributors, to whom the gifts. per-
7haps, represented even more OF sac
rifice. Those who went over the papers
stated that the response wns general
among those who attended. but that.
owing to the wintry day, there were
la number of absentees who are still
ito be heard from. II
Seems Assured.
The campaign for the college IS
moving rapidly. The congregation Of
the Second baptist Church, which has
just CONC through a new building
campaign has been called upon for
$50. 900 of the fund, and Is already a t
work raising the amount. Other
churches are quietly looking about to
SEQ how much they can secure. Vena-
bic Street Church has already ex-5
iceeded It's amount OF $4,000 by $780,
and is still in the race.
Some time a go tlie General Education
Board OF New York. an organization
financed largely by John D.. Rock efel-
Ter. offered to give $4,000 toward
the establishment and endowment of a
Central Woman's College, provided the
Baptists OF the State raise $350,00O.
The denomination took the matter up.
Richmond was eclded on as the nat
ural and proper location for the new
institution, and already more than half
the amount needle has been raised.
The churches are evidently Il n earnest.
ana the ESTABLISH ment of the Institution
seems assured. fss.,'

Sunday night. Mr. Witte 10

A Fireless Firecracker.

Do you remember how you
used 10 pop leaves when you
were a kid? You laid the leaf

hand and then struck it with
your right. On the same
principle as this, with half of
a rubber bulb TO take the
place of the hollow palm and
a piece Of newspaper over the
top to pop instead of u leaf, a
fireless firecracker has been
invented. Martin Armstrong
who teaches telegraphy in
Draughon's Business college,
holds the patent. The device
Is fixed on the end Of Q cane
