hiStMONI VA, Feb. G--Accord-
Ing TO information received this morn
Ing. II Is far from he purpose of
Circuit Judge j. w. G.. Blackstone
to SIT quietly Through the investiga-
ton of the charges against him and
to offer no defense 10 The allegations
affecting his competency, morality and

The Judge has always been known
Is n fighter, and report says that jus
row he Ia particularly pugnacious.
Rumor even has II that lie has Sc
cured-or is preparing 10 secure-the
'arvices OF Charles V. Meredith TO
represent him In the coming inquiry.
Several Of Judge Blacks,one's
friends happen TO be In Richmond lust
now, but they say they did not come
With the specific purpose of looking
after his case.
These gentlemen will talk u lie
about the natter beyond saying that
they think II would be best, under all
me circuma anccs 10 allow the Judge
10 serve ont his term.
They base their arguments largely
On. The fact that an inquiry would
greatly hamper the legislature al n
very critical time OF the season. If
Judge Blackstone is permitted to re.
main in office he will have two moro
Years to serve as his term will lhen
expire by limitation.
rev, II any, people incline to think
That II would he the wiser course 10

him from holding any state Office In

 All the members of the corporation were present except Lieutenant Gov ernor Lake. Governor Woodruff spent the day in the city in order to attend the meeting, and Secretary Taft came up from Washington. MT Taft arriv- ed here at 1:30 o'clock and left im- mediately after the meeting for New York. where he spoke in the evening at Plymouth church, Brooklyn

tez Abbott at present professor of his- tory and member of the governing board of the Sheffield scientific school Prof Abbott graduated from Wabash college in 1892. was later a graduate student at Cornell and took the research degree of bachelor of lit- erature from oxford university in 1891. After teaching and pursuing re- search work at Cornell and the Uni yersity of Michigan he went to Dart mouth college as assistant professor of history. He has been at the Tniversi- ty of Kansas since 1902. Charles Cameron Clarke, jr.. at present assist ant professor of French in the Shef- field scientific school. was promoted to a full professorship with membership In the governing board. Mir. Clarke was graduated from Yale college in the class of 1883. After studying abroad he became an instructor in French at Yale in 1898 and an assist ant professor in 1903.
 The corporation considered the re- port presented by a joint committee of the alumni advisory board and the corporation on the subject of loans to students and decided to start next year a university loan fund to be ad- ministered by the treasurer in co-op- eration with the officers of the differ ent departments. It is believed that the success of this movement will be sufficiently great to make it possible within few years to diminish greatly the amount of money now given in the college in the form of tuition scholar ships.
 The corporation decided to strengthen the graduate school of the university by establishing five new fel- lowships of s400 each to be awarded to men who had already given evi- dence of real distinction in scholar ship.
 Prof. Blumer of the medical school and Prof. Oertel of the college were added to the university library com mittee

THE STORY OF ST. PATRICK.
Interesting Sketch Of Irish Patron
 saint

st. PatrIck's name wae Patricius in the original He was the son of a Roman officer of noble birth, and was horn A. D. 43l in the northern part of
 Gaui (the present France)
 St Patrick was a Christian. accord | ing to the best authorities, when he
 was captured by the Irish in a raid
 on the north coast of Gaul. He was | then a youth of about sixteen years. | He was taken to Ireland and held in 1 bondage there for some six years. | There are stories to the effect that at | the end of six years he was aroused
 at night by voice that told him 10 | hasten to the shore and escape as a 1 stowaway on a ship that was about to
 sail. Whether this is true or not, 1t Is evident that he did escape from 1re- | land in the sixth year of his captivity.
 Patricius made his way to England ! and from that country back to his home In Gaul. His experience as prls- oner among the Irish left their imprint
 upon his naturally devout nature, and | Il was not many years after his re- i turn home when he had a vision of the 1 Irish people crying to him to come to | them and save them from organism.
 So impressed was he that he immedi-
 ately began to prepare himself as a
 missionary, determined to go to Ireland and preach the Gospel of Christ to them The fact that he was thoroughly i familiar with the language. habits and l religion of the Irish seemed to make | his duty all the more clear.
 i He became pupil of St Martin at
 Tours, afterwards one of the patron
 saints of France And St. Germaine or | St Germanus of Aux Ere was his friend and comrade
 After he was ordained. Patricius spent several years longer in prepara-
 tory work, going as missionary among the pagan tribes of Gaul His ! friend, St. Germaine, in the meantime
 was commissioned by the Holy See
 10 go to England and rescue the Eng | fish people from the pagan customs n-
 to which they were falling
 St. Germaine went on his mission. and met with great success. When he
 made report of his work to the Pope
 he added to it suggestion that Pa i tricius be commissioned to go to Ire | land and rescue the Irish people from ! barbarism
 Father Patricius then went to Rome an6 received the commission from Pore | Innocent to go to the Irish people When St. Patrick reached Ireland he
