NO REFUND Of
SHOW FEES

Having once taken out city
license for any business requiring
such license, it is no use to expect
a refund, no matter IL you 60 out
OF business the next day. This was
again demonstrated last night
when a dramatic company applied
for a rebate on a payment of 5000.
Mr.. Schiller of the finance commit.

bate would necessitate a special
appropriation, and that the city
having issued the license had per-
formed its part and could not be
held IL the other party failed in
his enterprise. The petition was
denied without reference to the
finance committee. x

Raised go More Pay For College
Workers With Children.

The time when the fortune of the
College is told for the coming year,
and its history is written for the
year just past, is the annual meeting
OF the Board of Trustees, following
Commencement. This day is there
fore looked forward to with the deep
est interest by all who are connected
with the College, and this year es-
pecially the reports of officers and
actions of the trustees were awaited
with much interest.
The annual reports showed that the
College has passed through a year
of severest stress and that its friends
have great cause for gratitude to the
Divine Providence that has so sus-
tanned and enlarged the work. The
burden Of separate provision for the
colored students has grown heavier
each year and the campaign for rails
ing the last $4,000 in Kentucky has
teated strength and patience to the
utmost. Only about $4,000 is still lack
ing outSide Kentucky and as much
more inside the state for the compile
ton of this great fund.
The Institution has greatly suffer-
ed from III health of its workers, Miss
Douglas being detained from activity
the entire year; Superintendent Ed
wards for most of the fall term, Miss
Smith, the Presidents Secretary, for
tn, epring term and several others
being in whole or part incapaciated.
On the other hand the health Of
the students has been unusually good
and the attendance much larger than
ever, 1,225. Six persons were gradu-
ated from the College Department,
eighteen from the Normal Depart
ment and twenty-four from the vari-
GUS Academy and Industrial Courses.
The honorary degree of Doctor Of
Divinity was conferred upon the Rev.
Howard Murray Jones, of Kalamazoo,
Mich, who was some years since
Professor of History at Berea. The

was conferred upon John Grant Crab

Does the World Think

Man is evidently made for thought;
this is his whole dignity and his whole
merit; his whole duty is to think as
he ought Now the order of thought
is to begin with self. and with its au'
thor and its end. Now of what thinks
the world? Never of these things, but
of dancing, playing the lutte, singing,
making verses, fitting at the ring, etc,
of fighting, making ourselves kings,

county, having been a student of
Berea College for several terms. Mr..
Jackson IS the Democratic nominee
for County Attorney having been
nominated over his worthy opponent
b. a handsome majority in the pri-
mary last fall. He is not only the
Democratic candidate for the posi-
ton of County Attorney, but in real
ity is the logical candidate of the
people. He is an able young attorney
and deserving of the suffrage of
every man In the county who believes
in the establishment of equity and
justice and that governments derive
their just power from the consent
of the governed; in other words a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people. If elected
to the high position by the people
to which his party has called him,
the constituency Of Old Madison may
rest assured that their every interest
will be safely guarded. And we feel
confident that the people will stand
by Jackson like the Greeks stood
by their charge in the pass at Their
mopolae, and will elect him by one of
the largest votes ever poled for the
office in the history of the county.
