* THOUGHTS OF "THINMER."
* *
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Mr. Editor: In the very beginning,
let me insist that you do not give me
an inch of space which belong to The
Idler; his artiales are too good to be
curtailed or crbwded out in prefer
ence to those of inferior quality.
I have been a deeply interested ad
mirer of The Idler since he first got
"busy" with his pen, for the pleasure
and benefit of The Herald and News
readers, and although most people
"save the best for the last," I invar
iably turn to his column first.
We all need sympathy, kindness,
cheer, fellowship, and a "thousand lit
tle delicate courtesies," as we go
along the dusty road of life. Unceas
ing ministry is the daily bread our
hearts hunger for-not great gifts and
large favors, but gentle affectionate
ness which brings satisfying inspira
tion, comfort, uplifting hope and
strength. 9i these, and more, The
Idler has 'extended without discrim
inating favor, to every reader of The
Herald and News.
The writer wishes to thank The
Idler f6r his many bits of wisdom and
philogophy-for beautifully expressed
thoughts-grand in their simplicity
and sincerity, and for gems of poetry
many of which have been carefully
clipped and filed away, labelled "Pre
served Sunshine for Dark Days."
I. believe that The Idler's dream
will be realized; that he will get that
park. And no name could be more
appropriate than "The Idler's Park,'
which, after he has lain down to his
last sleep, should be honored by a
magnificent monument to his memory,
bearing this inscription:
"Not himself, but the truth that in
life he has spoken,
Not himself, but the seed hat in
life he has sown,
Shall pass on to ages, all about him
forgotten,
Save the truth he has spolien, the
things he has done."
The Idler. is wrong though in think
ing that Uncle Eli alone, was puzzled
over his request to Mr. Wright for an
"off-night for Eastside."
.Many good people discu.ssed the
subject, but after careful thought and
sober reflection, few would seriously
accuse The Idler of selfishness-and
these few are undoubtedly afflicted
th torpid livers-hence, mind dis
n&must be pardoned.
lieve that the way a written ar
or in fact anything) affects an
ual, depends almost entirely on
or her innate constitution, tem
ment and mental attributes.
tmust be that Uncle Eli laid The
ler on the dissecting table, on the
pulse of the moment, and without
-e for careful gialysis or diagnosis
of The Idler's su4posed disease. Sure
ly Uncle Eli, who'is geemingly entire
ly devoid of jealousy, prejudice and
selfishness, would not otherwise have
noted the symptoms in another, since
-"As a man thinketh in his heart, sc
is he."
Uncle Eli evidently has literary in
clinations and-aspirations. We read
his. "ebulitions" with surprise, won
dering who he could be, and why he
had not spread his wings long since.
The Idler should take comfort add
consolation in the thought, that he
has- been the means of introducing a
genius, to an appreciative public.
Hope Uncle Eli will write again and
often but he should modify his state
ments a little-for instance, "An in
vitation to Uncle Eli would meali
est End!" And of course he will
p new subjects, or some one will
'ician, heal thyself!"
11, as The Idler can't get
ch at night (though we have
a illy lighted city) why don't
you c over to Willowbrook your
self, an eli tell him all about it?
Our park ad Mr. Zach Wright's
heart abe ~oth large enough to hold
all West, iAd and Eastside too, and
every one is heartily welcome to en
joy this beautiful place. We are ex
pecting a graid time on Sa.turday
evening-and a larger crowd than
ever.
Mr. Eugene Werts, one of our most
highly respected politicians, was with
us last Thursday night. He is one of
those rare specimen whose smiles and
affability, outlast electioneering sea
son. And that reminds me-who is' tc
be -our mayor, when Cole L. Blease
becomes our governor-as West End
says he shall?

FOR QUITE LARGE SUM
Annie Adams Claims Nearly $7,000

ces 'rendered during the last
years of his life. The amount in
volved is $6,794. Assistant Postmas
ter Wm. Young is executor of thi
Poinier estate. Annie Adams, colored

LADY DIES OF PELLEGRA.
Mrs. Samuel Agnew Passes Away a
Due West.
Due West, May 15.-Mrs. R. J. Ag
new, wife of Mr. Samuel Agnew, pass
ed away th,is afternoon at 3.30 o'clock
after an illness of five and a hal:
months. The latter part of Novem
bqr she was taken to the Columbiz
hospital and an operation was per
formed for appendicitis, and her con,
dition was found to be serious. Sh(
had a hard struggle for life for tw<
months after the operation, but wa.
able to come home, and friend.
thought her recovery possible, bui
about one month ago that fatal dis,
ease, pellagra, attacked her, and sh4
never recovered.
The College for Women.
The College for Women is no long
er An private haids, the majority o:
its stockholders having voluntaril3
made over their holdings to the caus(
of education. This -means that hence
forth Miss McClintock and her asso
ciates may proceed with a free han
to the broadening of the college along
the lines which experience has showi
to be wise. Extensions and improve
ments will be provided as needed an<
as means may permit. The change i.
vital. It is a long step forward.
Some months ago the issuance o:
bonds in the sum of $75,000, if s(
much should be needed, was decide(
upon, and of this, after the fioatinj
indeltedness has been liquidated, i
is expected there will remain some
thing for the permanent improve
ments account.
But more funds are needed for thi
erection of a building-one of a pro
posed group-which will be necessar:
if the increased demands upon thi
college during the coming schoo
year are to be met. The building ij
to be constructed during the coming
vacation.
By authority of the board of. trus
tees Miss McClintock .is now solicit
ing subscriptions for this purpose
She estimates that there have beei
over 1,200 students connected witi
the institution during the 20 years o
its history and that of these the grea
majority are living. It is hoped tha
*each will make some contribution t<
'the building, which will be called ii
~their honor "Alumnae Hall." One stu
dent has sent in her check for $1,000
Others have given liberally in suci
measure as they have been prospered
Gifts in any amount will be glady re
ceived and expended upon the devel
opmnent of the school along the line:
suggested.
The cornerstone of the new build
ing will be laid at the approaching
commencement (May 29 to June 2). I
would be cause for great pride anm
encouragement if~ announcemen
could be made at that time that th4
major part of the sum needed had al
ready been brought~ into sight
thr-ough the interest and generosit
of the alumnae.
There is in all this much of interes
for the true Columbian. The city ha:
no: greater institutional asset, n<
stronger cultural for -e than the Col
lege for Women; its value in this re
spect, moreover, is daily increasing
and it is reasonable to hope and ex
tpect that in equal measure will thE
community's support, already heart3
and substantial, be found cumulativE
in extent. The current movement ox
the part. of those having the guidancE
of the school's affairs exhibits 'a spir
it of sane and healthy progressive
ness which is most heartening anm
promising.-Columbia Record.
