Instructive story of a Pro
gressive Institution.
Tor th seventh time In its history of
half a century the Northwestern university
of Chicago Is about to Install a president
la offlre. Since the resignation of Dr.
Henry Wade Roger. In 1R99 the affairs of
the university were managed by a tem
porary president while the trustees can
tassed the country for a man possessing
the. necessary buslnesa tact and educa
tional qualification! for tha responsible
position. After two years of earnest con
sideration tha trustees last January chose
Prof. Edmund J. James at that time a
member of the faculty of Chicago univer
sity. The exercises of Inaugurating the
new president will begin Sunday next, Oc
tober 19, and continue throughout the fol
lowing Monday and Tuesday.
President James Is one of the youngest
educators chosen to direct the affairs ff tho
university. A native of Illinois. Jusf past
4T, be has achieved distinction aa an edu
cator at home and abroad, and enjoys In
the meridian of life the unique honor of
being called to the presidency of his alma
mater,
The Institution which President James
will direct was the first university estab
lished In the vicinity of Chicago. Fifty-
one years ago, when the Northwestern was
chartered by the legislature of Illinois
there was but one college, a state institu
tion. In the whole state, and beyond '1111
nols there was no school of greater pre
tensions than the primitive high schools
of the '50s. The absence of facilities for a
college education in or about Chicago
prompted a number of far-sighted citizens
to lay the foundation of what has become
one of the great educational institutions
of the central west. Although conducted
tinder the auspice of the Methodist Epls-
copal church, theology forms the lesser
part of the curriculum. The purpose of i
the founders to make the Institution a unl- i
verslty in fact aa well as In name haa been
followed to this day, and Its ifulflllment Is
shown In the establishment of fine profes
sional schools during the first half century
of it. existence. The medical school be
came a department of the university In
18S9. the law school In 1873. the school of
pharmacy In 1887, the dental school In 1883
and the school of music In 1895.
Location and Surroundings,
The Northwestern is located in Evanston,
town named after John Evans, one of the
founders of the university. Building and
grounds occupy a delightful . spot on the
shore of Lake Michigan, two miles north of
the city limits of Chicago. Nature has done
much for the campua ot Northwestern. Ex
tending for three-fourths of a mile along
the take, covered for the greater part with
a dense growth ot Vligiu oak irea, mui
raised Just far enough above tha water to
give good drainage and an unobstructed
view. It haa become famous for its beauty.
When the university was founded Evans
- ton did not yet exist as a village. But the
advantages of tho natural situation, the
attraction, offered by the college and the
Influence exerted by collegiate work, has
drawn about the campu. a population ot
20,000 people of exceptional culture and re
finement. By an amendment to the uni
versity chsrter. approved In February.; 1855,
no intoxicating liquor can legally be sold aa
a beverage within a limit of four miles from
tho campus. This provision of the charter
ha. been so rigidly enforced that the open
aale of liquor baa been unknown in the his
tory of Evanston, while its Illicit aale has
been continually and severely repressed.
How the BnlldlnaiB Are Orosped.
As one enters the campua from the south
west the first building to appear Is Uni
versity hall, a capacious structure of chaste
architecture, erected In 1868. Here are to
be found the offices of the president and
registrar and the class room, used by the
department, of Latin, Greek, mathematics,
history, English literature, English lan
guage, French, botany, geology and toology.
A few rods to the southeaat atanda Fayer
weather hall, a modern building, occupying
a ground space of 13,600 square feet and
devoted entirely to the use. of the depart
ment, of chemistry, phy.lc. and mineralogy.
. Immediately in the rear of Fayerweather
hall and In direct connection with It la a
power house, where a fine modern equip
ment of gaa engine, dynamos, etc., provides
power for varloua physical experiments, for
technical work and for lighting the campu.
and the college building.
Directly east of Fayerweather hall Is Fisk
hall, a pretentious building, erected In 1808
and devoted to the uses of the academy of
Northwestern university.

In our English tongue we have legends of
the repartee of king and courtier for well-
nigh 1,000 yeara. The pun, which is often
a species of retort, goes as far back as our
language. To play on words, often In a
very personal manner, is the simplest form
of retort. Old Thoma. Fuller made a witty
aa well aa a true epitaph for himself when
he bade them write on hi tombstone two
words only. "Fuller'. Earth." But Fuller

face and fuller all over," which was prob-
bly more fuller than Fuller bargained for.
Dunning. the famous wit and lawyer, was
badgering a witness on one occasion and
persisted in asking him If Ua did not live
in the verge of the court." He was prob
ably a poor debtor, who In the then condl-

The announcement that the eighth an
nual meeting ot the Nebraska Federation
of Women's Clubs, which convened last
week In Columbus, was the largest meet
ing of that organization yet held Is most
gratifying to the club women of the state
and those who have given their effort
during the last year to this end. "One
hundred and eighteen delegatee, represent
ing forty-seven towns and fifty-eight
clubs," was the report of the credentials
committee and In addition to these there
were about 125 visitors. Among these
were Governor Savage, State Superin
tendent of Instruction Fowler, Miss Edna
Bullock, secretary of the State Traveling
Library commission; Charlea A. Robbina of
Lincoln and a number of other men and
women prominent In the state. The In
ability of Mrs. Conde Hamlin of St. Paul,
Minn., vice president of the American
League of Civic Improvement, to attend,
who was to have spoken on "The Eco
nomic Value of Civic Beauty." was a dis
appointment to all and, though E. G.
Routxahn. secretary of the league, was
secured in her place, his address fell far
short of what bad been expected and failed
to atlmulate the Interest In the work
of the new elvln committee tht lt had
been hoped would result from this session.
Proa-rant goffered Some.
The feeling seemed genera? that the
program was hardly up to the standard
of previous years, but this was due to
the absence of ao many of those who had
been engaged to speak rather than any
fault of the program committee. Aa a
matter of fact, the committee deserves
much credit considering the money with
which lt had to work, the expense of the
meeting being only $75, aa compared with
$117.85 for the meeting last year. The
hanges occasioned by the disappointment
in speskers gave one entire day to pro
grams and another entirely to business.
with the result that the women tailed
to get the full benefit of either session
as they would hsd there been a variation.
The mistake of crowding the business to
the last day Is becoming more and more
apparent, for, while this plan admits of
more committee work being done. It also
prevents many of the women from partici
pating In the transaction of the business;
for, coming at the last of the week, aa it
doea, many are compelled to leave In the
morning that they may reach their homes
to meet the week', end demands there.
If the business were set for the second
day this difficulty would be largely over
come. The substitution of the half-hour social
every afternoon for the one formal recep
tion that has previously been given waa
an Innovation that met commendation and
criticism alike. As the facilities of the
average auditorium of the etate are
scarcely adapted to the moving about de
sirable for aocial occasions, not even the
prettily trimmed punch tsbles and the
handsome gowns of the women presiding
could supply the social element that Is
considered essential to the state meeting.
On the other hand, not a few appreciated
being relieved of the baggage that the
reception make necessary and feel that
the permanent elimination of thie function
will tend to encourage the attendance of
women who havs Ideas rather than gowns
to compare with their sisters.
I ondltloa of the Federation.
Reports of officers show ths federation
to be la moat satisfactory condition.
This Is a picture of John Alexander Dowie, born In Kdinborouxh, Scotland,
So years ago. Kemoved with hla parents to Adelaide, tintith Australia, ahen
13 years old. Returned to Fdeoborough v. hen 2fl year old to study for the
ministry. In 1S72 went back to Australia and was called to th pas
torate of the Manly Congregational Church at Sydney later placed in charge
of the Collegiate Church at Newton, near Sydney. Resigned In 1X7 to lake up
Evangelical work. Build a Tabernacle at Melbourne and became a "popular
preacher." Developed Into a Healer and became the head of a great move-,
ment which spread over all Australia and New Zealand. Decided to visit
IOndon, England, and on his way there landed at San Francisco, and finally In
1X90 set up a tent to preach aud heal In, at Went em Sprlugs, a suburb ot
Chicago.
Such In brief I a history of this remarkable man aa taken from The Cen
tury for October. Mention might have been made of the fact that for alt
months or bo he sojourned In Omaha and preached In a basement, we are In
formed on 14th street. Today his followers are numbered by ths .core, et
thousands and they can be found all over the world. Not long ago when he
was being prosecuted (or as his people say, persecuted), in Chicago, nearly
four thousand people arose In his congregation and stsled that they believed
him to be "Elijah the Restorer."

he ha shown marvelous ability aa an organiser. He purchased six thousand
acres of rholcs land on the shore of Lake Mlchigsn, 43 miles from Chicago, and
founded there "The New City of Zion." Brought from Nottingham, England, ex
pert lace makera, and haa established a great laoe industry.
Protected by a duty ot 60 per cent, there would seem to be no good reason
why he ahould not supply the whole United States with lace and within a few
years be reckoned with the mnltl-mllllonaire.
THE WHITE STORE.
During the year seven clubs have with
drawn from the organization and fifteen
new club have come in, which make,
ninety-nine clubs now affiliated, this being
the largest number of paid up clubs ever
In at one time. There are at present only
two clubs In arrears, while fifty-seven have I
paid tbelr duea ln advance for 1903. There
are at present nineteen Nebraska clubs In
the General Federation. .
The reciprocity bureau reported 160 manu
scripts now on hand and twenty-five names
ln the lecture bureau. The library exten
sion committee reported 320 books turned
over to the State Traveling Library com
mission when it commenced work eleven
months ago and $33 ln cash on hand. The
money was voted to be used In the work
of the committee.
The amendment, made to the constitu
tion and bylaws were, upon the whole, satis
factory, even that creating the six new
district vice presidents. A a matter of
tact, few failed to see the advantage of
thla additional working force, their objec
tions being based upon doubt of the federa
tion', ability to meet the additional ex
pense Incurred by these officers attending
board meetings, when the income of the
organization Is already too small. In view
of this limited income there waa severe
criticism of the convention's action ln
voting the small surplus that remained In
the treasury toward paying th expenses
of the retiring officers during their term
and the remainder to the southern kinder
garten project. This plan waa carried by
such a small majority that after calling
for the vote the tbtrd time a division of
the house was called, the motion being
declared In favor of the affirmative.
Pore Food Propaganda.
Th address of Governor Savage on Tues
day evening on the pure food law ot th
stat aroused a general Interest, resulting
at th close of the evening In the passage
of the following resolution:
We. the Nebraska Federation of Women's
Chilis. In convention assembled, do strongly
realise the necessity ot such amending or
the laws nf Nebraska as will Insure her
people pure and unadulterated foods
therefore be lt
Resolved, That a committee be appointed
to formulate plans by the carrying out of
which the various clubs of the slate may
Influence the state lawmakers to so amend
our food laws that we may nave pure
toods.
Governor Ssvage urged that the women
come before the legislature this winter In
the effort to secure, not only an enlarge
ment of the pure food law, but an ap
propriation sufficient for Its proper enforce
ment, and promised bis support of their
effort. At a later session ths standing
state committee on household economics
wsa Instructed to devise definite plana tor
securing this amendment.
Aa a result of Wednesdsy evening' ses
sion, which wsa devoted largely to a
presentation ot a Juvenile court law for
Nebraska, with the endorsement of State
Superintendent of Instruction Fowler and
other educators of the state, it was decided
that the federation should use Its Influence
this winter to secure the enact meat of a
law providing for a court for Juvenile
offenders.
Art Ksnlblt Most Satisfactory.
No department of the federation' work
made a mor Interesting or better showing
than ibe art committee, not only In Its
program, but In the exhibit ln an adjoining
room. Tde widening to the interests and
needs of all ths women waa especially In
evidence, the exhibit for the first time In
cluding subjects within the reach and scope
ot all the clubs. Previously the ceramic
exhibit has been the chief. If not the only,
feature of this collection, but this year
there was work in water colors, oil. Ink
and crayon, each marked as tb work of
professional or amateur, and so, by com
parlson, rendered Interesting and valuable
to all. This asm plan waa employed with
tb china exhibit. There waa also a eollec-
tlon of carbon and other pictures suitable
for school room and like decoration, all
properly framed and hung, whtls a collec
tion of Perry pictures gave suggestions for
those I Die rested In less expensive pictures
ot equal merit. A collection of burned wood
in
work and another of book relative to art
work waa another feature and lt I safe to
say that by thla exhibit the committee has
accomplished more In extending and stimu
lating Interest In art among the club, gen
erally than by any other mean It has ever
employed.
