DIR. Wheelock decided. for various rea-

by towns and settlements all the way
from the Kennebec to the Mississippi
and the one finally chosen was that in
the province Of New Hampshire.

The story of Dartmouth College.

1t was a strange procession that
started in md-September, 1870, from
Lebanon, Connecticut. TO make a dan
gerous and arduous pilgrimage through
the great northern wilderness. At its
head rode one or two horsemen: then
came a splendid English coach. i'm the
rocking depths OF which sat a woman
of high position and extraordinary de-
termination. Following this vehicle OK
teams slowly plodded onward hauling
household goods. food supplies. tobacco,
a barrel of molasses, "a Gag OF wine, AMI
half a barrel of Shuggar,' not to men
ton another barrel--that Barrel Of
New England Rum" which is famous TO
tn!s uuS. nearly century aud a half
later. one or two white men. several
additional females" four negro slaves,
COW. and thirty students completed
the cavalcade. In a word, Moor's Indian
Charity School was being removed bag
and baggage from its original site to a
new one. there to remain there to de-
velop into the great and powerful in
stitution since known as Dartmouth
College.
The woman who rode in that ornate
coach was Nine. Wheelock, whose hus-
band, the Rev. Or. Eleazar Wheelocli,
had preceded her by few weeks to the
grant OF land which had been made to
the Indian Charity School by gallant
John Wentworth, Governor of his Mai
estys province OF New Hampshire:
| moreover, the grant was made in the
name of George III. 1t is on record
that the good Or. WheelocS desired a
place for his college which would be
remote from the allurements OF more
populous towns" That he found it In
the New Hampshire forest, which nc
proposed to share with the bear, the
wolf, the lynx and the panther. is more

Delegates to the Confer
cncc i'm Panama.

II was learned yesterday that tho
Rev. Or. A. q, Cummins OF Pough-
keepsie has won his light against the
Episcopal Board OF Missions in con-
nection with the missionary conference
to he held soon in panama.
Protestant mission boards have been
trying to find out how all the Western
hemisphere can work together for
Christian education. For many years
Episcopalians would not send mission
aries into countries where the Catholic
Church Is established.
A few days ago the official Episco-
pal board declined to have part In the
Panama Conference. Whereupon the
Rev. DIR. Cummins called for delegates
to go anyhow.
II seems that Bishop Hulse. former
Archieacon in this city but nov
Bishop OF Cuba the Bishop C%oadjutor
of virginia, who was the Portuguese
Bible reviser Bishop Colmore OF Porto
Rico n Bishop Kinsol,ing OF Brazil
sent word they would ga to the Panama
Conference. Workers in Episcopal mis-
sion fields In Latin America sided with
the Rev. DIR. Cummins. The result was
that the official Episcopal Mission
Board gave In and the protesters are
now to go as accredited delegates.
