ly attachments, in private character
and in public and private citizenship"
A Word From Professor D'Ooge.
To this tribute to President Angel
may also at this time well be added
that of one who has been closely asso-
ciated with him in his university work.
Professor Martin l.. B6oge recently
wrote thus of him:
1.-THE Wilderness of his sympathies
and the largeness of his views have
been felt within as we'll as without the
walls Of the university. The spirit
that disdains' pedantry and is above
all pettiness, that responds to all
noble activities of the great world,
that appeals, to high ambitions and is
generous ingits dealings with youth,
that, makes teacher and student fell
low-seekers after truth, that put the
guinea stamp of genuine manliness
upon the boy-it is this spirit that
has been infused into the inner life
Of the university by the man who SO
quietly and unostentatiously has been
standing for more than a generation
at the helm"
What may be said of the university
and its growth is so closely associated
with the latter half of the the life Of
President Angel that it would be diff
cult to make any great distinction.
Suffice to say that our nation has a
number of times found itself in need
of his assistance. Twice he has been
called upon to represent the govern
ment at the courts of foreign nations.
In 1881 he was made minister to Chi
ma and ini1S97 appointed minister to
Turkey.N The, latter Office he resigned
after one years service. Numerous
times he has been summoned and
faithfully served upon commissions of
national and international Importance.

only been accepted at the university

is blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter-

1t was prescribed by one of the best

COUGHS.

Every person who coughs should not
alarm himself with the idea that he Is
In a bad way. Experience has con-
WINGED us of a fact that there are two
distinct kinds of coughs-one proceed
ing from an affection of the lungs and
air tubes, as in cold, the other pro
ceeding from effervescence in the
stomach. The lungs cough is q symp-
tom which all know to require atten.
ton, lest serious consequences ensue.
The stomach cough is much more
simple matter and may easily be got
quit of. 1t is caused by the food ana
drink which are put into the stomach
effervescing and producing an irrita
ton. A knowledge of this fact ought
to lead persons so affected to ponder
little on the nature of their ailment ano
the tone of their digestive powers.

A COSMOPOLITAN CONGRE
CATION.

The membership of the First
Methodist Episcopal church of
this city is perhaps the most cos
mopolitan Of that of any any other
religious denomination in the
Northwest. It was but a few
months ago that the writer saw
at the communion table Anglo
Saxons. Afro-Americans, Chinese,
Japanese and Indians, and they all
bowed in humble devotion to their
Lord and Master without the one
paying any attention whatever to
the other. Having such cosmo-
politan membership of course
makes the situation to the aver
age white man rather awkward at
times. Recently Rev. Reese says
he baptized Brown black baby,
and afterward those to whom he
was relating the incident failed
to unravel the riddle, he said: II
baptized black baby whose
name was Brown. On that occa-
sion some Of the members OF the
organization sat specializing as to
whether or not the pastor would
kiss the baby when he baptized it,
and for a minute or such matter
all eyes were on the pastor. lg-
norant of what was in the minds
of his white parishioners, he bap-
tized the little innocent, kissed 1t
as fervently as if it were as white
as snow, and passed on, giving no
sign whatever of having been non
plused. There is less prejudice
now in that church than there
ever was, and there never was
any.

money. The desire to ape man

RATS EAT UP
$1O0,O00,O0O YEARLY.

One of the most serious prob
lens the Department of Agricul-
ture has had to meet is the Kidding
the country of the millions Of rats
with which it is infested, and
which are especially the foes of
the farmer. 1t is estimated that
the rat pest costs the United States
$100,000,000 yearly in grain de-
stroyed alone. The rat also pol
lutes a great quantity of food pro-
ducts which it does not eat, does
great damage by digging under
buildings and embankments, and
gnawing wood, cutting up goods
and papers to make nests, killing
poultry, and stealing eggs. The
most destructive species is the
Norway rat, which has been car
ried to all parts of the world on
ships. It is calculated that a single
pair of rats would, in three years,
under favorable circumstances, IN
crease to 100000. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has planned a
vigorous crusade against the yer
min, and it recommends rat-proof
construction in buildings, better
protection of food supplies, and
the use of various poisons in To-
calities haunted by rats.

A HARD JOB.

Wanting to go where you are
not wanted is frequently said Of
the American Negro, and Rev.
Rees tells a rather laughable
story of a colored brother down
South who had become imbued
with the idea of joining the Epis
copal church. He applied to the
rector for admission, and the rec
tor knew that if he took him into
full membership there would be
trouble in the church, so after
thinking for solution to the ugly
situation, he suggested to Sambo
that he 90 home and pray over the
matter for two weeks, and then
let him know what the results
were. At the expiration of the
two weeks Sambo promptly
showed up and was asked by the
divine if he had prayed over the
proposition and was answered in
the affirmative by Sambo. "Well, "
inquired the rector, "what were
the results of your prayers?'
"Why de good Lord appeared in
a vision and said, "Sambo, what
you want break into dat Episcopal
church for? I've tried to break
in it for de last twenty years and
hab neber don so, so I 'spect, pas
son, I don't want to join your

GOOD INSTRUCTION.

The papers of the central South
have given the following instruc-
tions to their correspondents:
"This paper is getting farther
and farther away from printing
Negro news. Unless it is a rape
story, we want no Negro news by
wire, and only brief stories by
mail. Ordinary Negro killings
have no news value. It is our pur-
pose to encourage Negroes to be
w-abiding citizens, and if you
come across a news item showing
up the better side or humorous
side of the Negro, mail it to us. +"
1t seems to us that this is as it
should be. The Negro needs en-
couragement just the same as any
other race. When a Negro is guilty
of a heinous crime, the papers,
both North and South, will come
out with big headlines and fiaunt
it to the breeze, but if he is guilty
of some meritorious act, it is put
down in some corner or not pub
lished at all. We do not complain
about the big headlines, because
that is all right, but why not give
the meritorious act the same no.
tice?
The white race is judged by its
great men, and therefore is a
great race The Negro is judged
from the standpoint of it's lowest
class, hence it is characterized as
a degraded race. Why not judge
the Negro race from its Booker
T. Washington, Fred Douglass,
John M. Langston, Vernon, Dab
ney and a thousand others instead
of it's lower class. Give them a
fair chance.

"Forty-six years lie between
the draft riots and the crowds
that applauded the Tenth Regi-
ment yesterday. 1t means much
to the progress of the Negroes of
America that they ave produced
such a regiment with such rec
ord. Men who have proved their
willingness to die for their coun-
try are surely entitled, for them
selves and for their people, to the
ordinary guarantees of life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness
which every American claims as
a birthright. They deserve to feel
that for themselves, as for every
other American, the Republic is
opportunity.

comes in the struggle for human
liberty, the city that applauded
