Men who occasionally drank and be-

Friends Of DR.. O. l. Wpodley have
had several communications from him
recently relative 20 his transfer from
Fairmont to Marshall College at Hunt
ington. and the following letter was
received today by Mr.. w. J. Wiegel. a
close personal friend Of DR.. Woodley,
for publication. The letter follows:

My Dear Mr.. Wiegel:
/ wish you would publish the follow
ing statement, which states the mat
ter. as far as l am concerned, outside
OF my own personal matters, that led
to my going to Marshall College.
About the middle OF the year had
an opportunity to go to New York.
During the last term | was constantly
debating with myself whether should
continue in Fairmont and complete
the work ! had commenced. or go east,
where l would have a good position
and give more attention to my bust
ness interests. The work in Fairmont
appealed to me strongly, and II had
been governed entirely by my feelings,
there would have been no difficulty in
coming to a conclusion. scarcely
slept on Monday and Tuesday nights
Of commencement week because OF
this problem.
During the last days Of the COM
mencement week l was asked by a
friend. not a member Of the Board Of
REGENTS. il l would be interested in
Marshall College. | said: That !
could not think OF it until there was an
actual vacancy. If. however, the va
cancy should occur. l would be inter
ested. for | felt there vas a great work
that nigh. &c done through that Insti-
tuition. That If Fairmont and Marshall
College could combine on a general
plan. they would give the state a dis
tinctive and helpful service"
Nothing more was said, and | was
in absolute ignorance Of the newspa-
per comments that were made be-
tween June 18th and June 2Sd. when
/ met the Board Of Regents in Charles
ton, to consider the list Of teachers in
Fairmont for the coming year. l ask
ed them not to consider my name for
a few days. for | was then seriously
considering a New York position. In
this meeting no mention was made of
my going to Marshall College. Later
in the day | learned OF the newspaper
coments about my going to Marshall
College, and noticed In the Huntington
paper the heading, ".Woodley VIII be
appointed today"
In the meantime, I had talked with
Mr.. Laidley. of the Board Of Regents.
and with MIR. Marsh. and they stated
that the board would be pleased to
have me continue in Fairmont and
complete my work. In the evening of
the 23d / had to wait several hours for
a train. and went over all of the ele-
ments Of the problem. with the result
that had an interview with Supt.
Shawkey and with Mr.. Swiger. Each
Of these men informed me that II ! de.
sired to go to Huntington the matter
could be arranged. with the result that
the next morning ! was elected TO Mar
shall College. The Board OF Regents
evidently wanted me to remain in the
state, and absolutely gave me my
choice of the two positions. The only

PITTSBURGH. July 1.-The Pitts
burgh security market at the opening
yesterday was wholly devoid Of snap
and trading included a few issues
only. Many bids and offers were made
and frequently repeated, but buying
force was lacking and little business
came out. Two issues only showed
strength in the early proceedings,
both Of which made gains. Opera.
tons in these, however, were light ana
due to influences in the East.
Early In the day the New York Sc
cur1ty list displayed steadiness, but
the trend Of prices was not uniform.
A few Of the standard railroads estao-
lished small losses early, while one
Reading, advanced. Some OF the war
order issues opened al advances over
final prices Of the previous session
and made further gains before mid
day. Weakness in exchange accen'
tuated the need OF foreign liquidation
and reconciled the street to the selling.
although it was admitted that prices
could not advance materially while
the Liquidation continued.

October 6, 1879. Since then hundreds,
even thousands Of Indians, have come
from every tribe known In this coun-
try, and all readily adapted them
selves to the new condition of things.
To Train The Young Indian.
This school is now the Oldest and
most important in the service and con-
tainS the largest number of students.
The guiding influence Of the school Is
that OF training the Indian youth of
both sexes to take upon themselves
the duties, as well as the responsible
ties OF citizenship. This has been done
by imparting to them "A useful train
ing in some practical vocation, and
by placing the Indian young men and
young women in the homes of the
best white people in Pennsylvania and
nelghboring states. BY tins step they
were trained In the habits and arts
OF civilization through immediate con-
tact.
The young students are first con-
Quoted through "A carefully graded
course, of the grammar grade, which
is supplemented by instruction in
music, art. public speaking. nature
study, and business practice. Then
follows minute instruction in twenty

"a. memorable struggle between rival
football and baseball teams have been
staged At one end OF the field Is the
Cage, where indoor baseball, football
and lacrosse, as well as other games,
can be INDUCED in without Interrupt
ton by bad weather. Nearby Is the
Athletic Clubhouse, which provides
Quarters for those students who are
in athletic training. The building is
modern and complete In every re-
spect.
Any young man or woman between
the ages Of fourteen and twenty one
wears can obtain admission TO the
school who can prove possession OF
at least one-fourth Indian blood and
provided of course, they are of good
health and morals. Special students
with proper training may be enrolled
for a two-year term In the Business
and Telegraphy Departments. provi-
ded they have completed course of
elementary training equivalent TO the
academic course followed at Carlisle.
The trades department Is open only
IN bows. Those students who desire

not desire further academic training,
may be admitted for this purpose pro-
vidcd they have good elementary ed

untrue, aud the accusation caused the
Kaiser no little sorrow, for the ban
ishment was entirely due TO the
Eighty" behavior of the young man
and the way In which he had treated
the Imperial Chancellor and the sem
sitive Bavarians. The Emperor de-
clared that the Crown Prince lacked
tact and was too autocratic. The
Crown Prince declared that his father
was lacking in spirit. and so the

As soon as a son of the Kaiser has
finished his education he Is given a

him even to doing clerical work in

Carlisle, in reality, is a finishing

here all those little hallowed insti-
buttons that are to be found at the
big universities founded a century or
more ago. Not only do the students
here enter enthusiastically into the
work laid out for them, but they play
just as hard as they work. 1t goes
without saying that they excel in every
field of sport they enter. and seem
