lnstitutions Which Deserve Help.
The National Orphan and Education
al association and the American insti-
tute, under the fostering care Of the
Rev. G. b. w. Gordon, at Petersburg,
Va, are worthy institutions which
have for their object the bettering OF
conditions among our people along all
helpful lines. Perhaps there Is no pas
tor IN the tidewater section Of the
state who does a more needful work
for our people in%connection with his
pastoral duties than the Rev. Mr..
Gordon. Recent reports show that
these institutions are not forgotten by
our people In financial way, but
there Is room for much larger NUM-
'ber, who by their cooperation would
enable the management to increase the
5usefulnes of both the orphans homo
and the American institute.

On last Tuesday, October 9th, the
"Veterans of Old Muchy" presented
M. B. G Buxton with q beautiful
,S12O silver loving cup as 9 token OF
their esteem for him and OF their ap-
preciation Of his Kindness and philan--
stKropic deeds during his superintend-
ency at Muchakmock and Buxton.
Dr.. Carter, In his presentation
speech, recalled the many acts Of phil;
anthropy which class Mr.. Buxton az
one Of the foremost among the bene--
factors Of the negro race. Among the
many things he mentioned was Mr.
Buxton's efforts In establishing the
hest negro Il. M. G. "a. In the world at
buxton. Ia. He not only gave one-half
iof the money necessary for Its con-
sfruction. but was instrumental IN Sc
curing the remainder Of the funds
from the Consolidation Coal Co. He
Also donated literally to churches ana
charities and aided many older citi-
zens personally. He encouraged THRIFT
among the miners; encouraged .depos-
Its ia the savings banks; was instru-
mental in securing good houses ana
large home garden spots and many
things too numerous 20 MehtiOh.
Through long acquaintance mutual
friendship had grown up between men
and superintendent and there seemed
Is be q general preference for employ
ing colored miners. The men express
cd the hope that the present superin-
tendent would continue the old poll
cies and pledged their continual sup
mort to him. In his response Mr. bux.
ton thanked the men for the Deantifnl
token and said that they would I've ai-
ways in his memory, even without
such a reminder OF their friendship as
was presented to him. He expressed
himself as feeling kindly toward all his
employees, but most especially toward
the .Veterans Of old Muchy" who were
continually in his employ.
B The cup was beautifully mounted On o.
an ebony pedestal. Upon one side was
the inscription: ITO BENJAMIN Clift

from the Veterans of Old Muchy." On
TIE other side 81 the cup the names
q the sfxty-two donors were engraved.

GET MISSING WITNESS.
Elopement Tells New York Authorities
Whereabouts of Man Wanted in
Manslaughter Case

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. Ia
Through clipping with Miss, Rose Wolf,
Harry 2. Fox, a broker living at the
Hotel Manx here, was discovered to be
the man for whom the New York author
tiles have been hunting for more than
Il year TO have him testify in a noted
manslaughter case.
The defendant accused Of manslaugh-
ter is John Fl. Tyson, whose automobile,
while spinning through the streets of
New York, ran down and killed man
named Gunnison. A week ago Fox Gre
ated a mild sensation here by clipping
with Miss Rose Wolf and it was as a
result of news of his romantic wedding
that he was traced.
Fox said he had not been in hiding,
but that the manslaughter case had been
postponed so many times in the New
York courts where he had testified once.
that he could not remain there longer
in justice to his business interests.

OLIN CENSURES SLANG.
University Law Professor Takes Issue
with Prof. O'Shea on Use of
Idiomatic Vulgarisms.

MADISON. Wis. Dec. IA Special.
In the Introduction to his weekly lee
ture on property at the state university
law school, Prof. John NJ Olin. recog-
nized as one of the leading members of
the bar of the state, criticized severely
the prevalent use of slang by university
students and deplored the evident lack
of heed given to the study and cultiya-
ton of the English language in the class
rooms at the University of Wisconsin.
Prof. Olin's censure of the use of I'M
authorized word forms came in the ma
lure of a reply to the hypothesis ad-
yanced by Prof NJ. V. O'Shea of the
department of education. to the effect
that the slang of today is the language
of tomorrow, thus countenancing the
many yulgarisms that make up the vo-
cabuiary. not only of the university stu
dent of the present generation but the
great mass of the people.
