Change in Management.
Prof. P. D. Nelson Resigns as Co.
PrincipaI'of the Llndsey.Wl.
son Training School.
REV. u.s.. CHANDLER SUCCEEDS Him.

For more than two weeks it has
been known to number of Column
bianS that Prof. 2. d. Nelson had
rendered his resignation as Co-Princi.
pal of the Lindsey Wilson Training
School, and had accepted position as
principal of a Boys School Spring
field, Tenn.
Last week the Board of Managers OF
the institution was here, looking after
the interest of the school for the COM
ing year. and who would succeed Prof.
Nelson was in the minds of the peo-
pie, but it was not known until Wed
nesday night who the mantle would
fall upon. 1t is our understanding
that there were six applicants for the
position, but it seems from the action
of the board that it had but one man
in view-Rev. J. S. Chandler, pastor
OF the Methodist Church this place
who was not an applicant, and who
was greatly surpriSed when the position
was rendered him. He was one of the
Committee who came to Columbia
and selected the site for the planting
of the school buildings, and he has
been greatly interested in the institu-
ton from that date.
In the school room he is not tyro
having served sixteen years as ateach-
er. After due consideration he &C
cepted the offer and will enter hearth
ly into the work for the continued
success of this we'll known and popu-
lar school. Rev. Chandler is a man
of great force, and evidently possesses
an abundance of governing power,
we'll educated popular gentleman.
We predict that he will fill the place
with credit to himself and to the per-
feet satisfaction of patrons and pupils.
Prof. r. r. Moss, who has been
with the school from the beginning
IL years, will continue as Co-PrincIpal.
He needs no commentator from The
News, as he is known throughot this
section of the State as high gentle
man, full CT energy and most excel
lent instructor, teacher very much
loved by his pupils.
Prof. Nelson will remain with the
school until the close of the present
term, at which time he will leave for
his new field. The departure of him.
self, his most excellent companion and
little daughter, will be generally re-
GREETED as they have resided in Co.
lumbia long enough to become endear-
ed to the people, hence they will be
greatly missed. Prof. Nelson is a
thorough teacher, very much in love
with the work, gentleman of strong
character, a valuable acquisition to
any school, and the institution to
which he goes should feel honored in
securing his services.
Before the opening of the Septem-
Der term valuable Improvements will
be made ION the hill" The Girls
dormitory will be given a thorough
overhauling, all the rooms to be re-
papered and other necessary changes
will be made. The Boys dormitory
will also be given attention, and when
the fall term opens every thing on the
hill will be as bright as new pin
The money to make these necessary
Improvements was raised last Wednes-
day night by voluntary subscriptions.

FASHIONS

From Paris, the home of fash
ion and fad, has come a beautiful
substitute for the willow plume,
which can be made at home.
1t is a fringe feather. 1t
sounds queer. But the finished
article is graceful and fashion
able. For an eighteen-inch plume
one yard and a half of wide
fringe, six or eight inches deep,
heavy and strong, and half a
yard of inch-wide satin ribbon the
color of the fringe will be re-
quired. Cover a wire with the
ribbon, sewing it very securely
and keeping the seam straight;
now to the ribbon-covered wire
three rows of fringe are sewed,
covering the seam in the ribbon
and leaving a narrow strip of rib
bon to show that will correspond
to the rib on the natural feather.
Great care must be taken in
sewing on the fringe as the whole
appearance of the feather de-
ponds upon it; it must be done
neatly, concealing the stitches as
much as possible.
Having the fringe attached to
the wire, one end-the top of the
feather-must be bent over i'll a
curve to resemble the natural
curve in the real feathers; then
with a heated curling iron, the
ends of the fringe are curled in
ward Just little way, then
shaken out until they are fluffy
and as near like the real feather
as it is possible to make them
appear. The feather is now
ready to be sewed on to your hat,
where it will droop over the brim
in a most fascinating manner.
The charm of this homemade
feather lies in the fact that the
cost is very small and that you
can indulge in any color you wish,
matching the hat itself or the
gown with which 1t is to be worn.

end of machines he knew. For a
short time he made some racing
records for Dayton cars-and
finally decided to fly.
Silas had two new ambitions.
He wants to demonstrate a many
passengered hydro-aeroplane as a
passenger possibility. And wants
the United States to awaken to
the fact that the air ship is a real
asset to the army. Two of the
models that are being built at the
big shop out on Van Ness avenue
in San Francisco are a three pas
senger hydro that in month or
So is to take the three Christor-
Persons on trial trip over the
bay; and three passenger model
that is going to be submitted to
the government. Its novelty con-
sists in its mounted revolving ma
chine gun. The only like model
is that accepted from Paulhan by
the French government, and rem
dered almost useless from the
fact that the mounted gun does
not revolve. Silas Christofferson
thinks the government is bound
to finally wake up.
The moral of it all is. don't
spank the kid when he takes that
clock to pieces even If he can't put
it together. Clocks are cheap,
and the less these boys of ours
are checked, the more Christof-
Persons we will have. And Chris
toffersons are an asset.

Don't discourage the boy who
seems to be no earthly use be-
cause he is always tinkering with
everything around the house from
the kitchen clock to the patent
carpet sweeper, to "see how the
wheels go round" You may
have genius in that meddle-
some kid. A few years ago Silas
Christofferson, who is now just
23 years old, was just such a kid.
Now he is considered one of the
safe and sane air men of this
country, who is doing real things
to make the airship vehicle for
all of us.
Silas Tinkered
A few years ago Silas was
making the whole family misera.
BILE inventing things at the ex-
pense of most of the household
furniture. And he had way of
leading his younger brother Har-
ry in his footsteps. They solved
the problem of how to hold 81
down by putting him in an auto
mobile shop in Portland. Learn
ing automobiles from stem to
stern and inside and out kept 81
busy almost a year. Then he i'll
vented an improved carburetor
for automobiles that was an i'm
provement that made the inven-
ton a find for automobile dealers.
But young 81, not yet 20, could
not work longer with the shop

CAN YOU HEAR MOONLIGHT, OR SUNSHINE?
IF YOU CAN'T BETTER GET AN OPTOPHONE

small hole light is thrown upon
the selenium cell which produces
an electric current interrupted by
a special clockwork interrupter,
and SO made audible in the tele-
phone.
On a bright moonlight night
the moon sounds quite loudly, but
for real noise try to hear the
sun shine! One bright sunbeam
can make more noise in an opto-
phone than a Niagara Falls. An
electric light on a black back
ground sounds like boiler fac
tory.
The inventor believes that with
an optophone blind person may
get around much better than he
now can, for the optophone will
tell him where an object begins
and where it leaves off. With
that apparatus a blind person.

light of stars invisible through
