COLLEGE PLANS
Few Changes in Teaching Force For
Next Year Mr.. MathenY To Be
Back = Adjustment Fund Nearly
Raised = 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 ali 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
te1ted 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
tion 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, spring 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
honorary degree of Doctor of Laws
was conferred upon John Grant Crab

Instruction, and DIR. Crabbe was pres

county, having been 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-
tion of County Attorney, but in real
ity is the logical candidate of the
people. He is en- 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.

Omaha, o: Dies Moines, T.
The first inning did It.
Kelley lasted long enough to lose the
third game Of the series to Des Moines
and to allow Omaha to slip out OF second
place in the pennant race. After subduins
Mr.. Dalton the next three men up hit for
clean singles and Kelley was chased to
the stable, although but one run was
scored
Lower was substituted, but the Rourke
family went all to pieces, and when they
finally settled down six runs had been
scored by Des Moines. That was enough
for Omaha could not SCORE at all against
the slab work Of Bersdorfer and the SPLEEN
ava support which he received from his
teammates. Dryer was the first man up
after Lower took the hill, and he puntsd
toward short Two were on bases and
Franck turned to throw to second, but
Psndry wal asleep at the switch, and
failed to cover that sack. BY the time
Franck could make another whiri and
throw TO first Dwyer was safe, That
seemed to rifle the captain, so that he
fell down in trying to get the next ball
that came along.
The bases were full when Clyde Williams
came to bat. He laid one down toward
6chipke, but the Skipper fooled the bunt,
and Mattick scored. Still three were on
bases and only one out. McManus was
next up and he lined a hot one toward
King. on which Dwyer and Niehoff trotted
home. Williams also kept on sprinting
toward home and King threw to nail him
at the plate. The ball went straight for
the players bench and Williams scored.
Lower landed the next two up.
With six runs looking as big as six bal
looms staring them in the face, the Rourkes
came to bat. Fisher opened with a single,
but Pendry struck out. Weloh singled
but Schipke hit into a double play. Four
times during the game when 1t looked as
though some Rourke might have a chance
to get across the play, another Rourke
came to bat and hit into a double. In
the third inning, with two out, Pendry
singled and WEIGH hit a double. Schipke
drew a pass and the bases were filled,
but Kane grounded to second. In the fifth
Lower opened out with a double, and al
though Pendry got another single the rest
Of the bunch could not help him around.
After that first inning the fans were
treated to quite a ball game, for both
Biersdorfer and Lower pitched good ball,
but Omaha could not score.

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich, July 26.-
William Hale ~Thompson's trim schooner
yacht ValmUre, last years winner Of tho
Mackinac CUP race has repeated the trick.
Valmore at 9:33:03 a. m. today crossed the
finish line 4 minutes and 81 seconds behind
its big rival, Amorita, which had given the
Thompson boat a time allowance of 2:42: 80.
Valmore therefore won by 2:37:S over
Amorita, which, however, second place by
q large margin.
The trip was made by the winner in
AZ 3 :03 for the 3Sl miles. Both boats had
trouble, despite perfect weather. Amorita
broke it's ~spinnaker boom and Valmore an
iron band securing the topmast shrouds, by
reason of which the use OF its big balloon
Jim became precarious. The whole story,

peak of Mount Mcclellan, 1400 feet above
the level Of the sea and almost 1900 feet
above the city of Denver. This gigantic
mountain and the surrounding peaks are
covered with snow the year round and the
unusual spectacle Of a snow fight above
the clouds was enjoyed by the tourists.
Along the route to the top of Mount Nc
Clellan is the famous Georgetown loop,
which has been proclaimed to be the
worlds greatest achievement in railway
engineering.
The train consisted Of five coaches and
a buffet car, luncheon being served while

Of the mountain. From the peak to the
Denver Union station is seventy miles and

DETROIT. July 26.-The opening of the
grand circuit at the state fair grounds
was marked by one of the most wonderful
races ever held on the oval. Country JAY
10 years old, moved down a high-class
field and reduced his record to 2:07h. The
old gelding was not considered In the bet
ting and sold as one of a S12 field, the
pools aggregatlng $193.
Penisa Maid on her showing at Terre
Haute was a strong favorite and she
showed the way In the opening heat until
Country jay rushed up to her in the
stretch. The mare stubbed her toe, went
to a break and the veteran won. Next
time, in a reefing and driving finish, Judge
Lee beat Country Jay about six inches
After that Country Jay had the finishing
powers Of the lot and won more easily.
The day was ideal, the track fast and
the attendance upward Of 5000. The races
were surprises. Lady Elgin, on the
strength Of a race record of 2:O6k, was
the favorite in the 2:1s pace, but she
showed that too much use has been made
of her. Leading at the three-quarters, she
failed in the stretch, and Cecilian king
won a cheap heat. Cecilian King took
the next two, owing to his good work in
the stretch.
Major Mallow, fresh from the half-mile
tracks, where he has been breaking REQ
ords, won the 2:@ pace. Dan s. led until
the last part Of the first mile, but In the
next Major Mallow had the foot Of them
