HOW JEFFERSON FOUNDiiD THE RE
NOWNED UNIVERSITY.
Up iJeslretl tlio Great Educational Insti
tutions, the I'rm and the llooks to b
of American Origin, and Permeat with
tiie .Vpirit of Her Independence.
The dedication recently of the new
buildings of the ancient and reuuwneo
University of Virginia, the alma matei
of so many distinguished men of the
south recalls an historical event as well
as that severe Jacksonlan simplicity
which was so characteristic of the
early days of the Republic. On a
bright sunny day now about eighty
years ago, there was a quaint village
meeting in the little town ofCharlottes
ville. The old men of the place had
met to consult about the best means ol
reviving a modest country school
where many of those present had re
ceived whatever education they pos
sessed. The school itself was an
American edition of Dotheboys' Hall
without the disagreeable Mr. Squeera
nd was ambitiously termed the Al
bemarle Academy. Those at the vil
lage meeting were resolved to providt
an institution worthy of the rapidly
growing wants of the State of Virginia
hut were at a loss how to proceed Is
affecting that purpose.
The meeting was about to adjourn
without accomplishing anything when
come one present espied, afar off on
the mountain slope, the form of a man
on horseback. He was rapidly coming
towards the village and as he ap
proached proved to be an accomplished
*ider, mounted on a magnificent thor
oughbred, and wearing one of those
broad brimmed hats so much worn by
country gentlemen of that day, and
which used to be in our own day the fa
vorite headgear of the lateCarterH. Har.
rlson, of Chicago. The rider was al
once recognized as he came within
nearer view as the Sage of Monticello.
"Let us consult Mr. Jefferson," said
one of those present.
Jefferson had now approached thoss
present. He dismounted and tied his
horse's reins to the railing with ths
same easy and uncermonious freedom
•s he had formerly tied the same to
♦he palisades of the White House on
ihe occasion of his inauguration. The
people gathered around their neighbor
with much less awe, and with a feeling
of equality and fewer marks of demon
etmtion than they would probably ex
hibit in the case of an ex-President to
-day.
Thomas Jefferson took in the situa
tion in a moment, and unscrewing th(
top of his cane he opened its thher
parts which thus formed the legs of r
■tool, and seating himself upon this In
genious contrivance listened attentive
ly to the various arguments for the
renovation of the local Academy. Upon
bearing all that had been said and
thanking them for the honor done him
by consulting his views in the matter
Jefferson at once urged them to dis
card the idea of reviving the old school,
but to at once convert their paltry
cademy Into a college. He urged
them to give it such a character as
would redound not only to the credit ol
their own county of Albemarle, but to
that of the entire state of Virginia
This unexpected proposal took the en
tire Jneetlng by surprise. It was fai
beyond the range of vision of the plain
farmers and village people assembled l
and who with the old College of Wil
liam and Mary before their mind's
•ye, hardly saw the necessity of taxing
the new commonwealth even for such a
worthy purpose. It was a proposal sc
startling that some at once blamed
Jefferson's years of official life at the
Capitol for what appeared a novel ex
periment. But those present had much
respect for Jefferson's views and when
be subscribed SI,OOO, suggested that
eight of his neighbors would do like
wise, they hesitated no longer. In
their official capacity as trustees they
passed resolutions favoring the pro
ject, and the work was successfully
launched. A literary fund was now
eraated by the act of the legislature. II
consisted of the proceeds from certain
escheats, forfeitures and fines and from
which source, together with some ar
rears of public money due from the Uni
ted States to Virginia and a special fund
of $60,000, gave substantial endowment
to the University. Jefferson and th<
early founders of the University were
now In a position to go ahead. Accord
ingly a low celled, white-washed room
of a modest country inn In Rockford
Gap BSW Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe sitting' on split bottom chairs o)
borne make, devising means whereb)
university which was Intended tc
promulgate American Ideas and to off
set Harvard, could proceed auccessfull)
upon its mission. Such were thi
•cones and simplicity, such the pur
pose and the businesslike character ol
the early village meeting which called
Into existence one of the great educa
tional Institutions of the country.
It was not lultiated like the medieval
universities of Europe for the spread
of Imperial views, nor endowed llkf
many of those of to-day by some rich
man. Nor was It erected by another
class of men, who having spent their
lives In violation of Heaven's decrees
think on dying that Divine wrath could
be propitiated by making bequests In
their will and their own happy en
trance into another world facilitated
through endowing Universities for the
propogation of the twin sisters oi
literature and religion. It was found
ed, on the contrary, in this simple way
through the longing of the people tor
higher ideals, better s.ourcee of Infor
mation and greater opportunities for
fheir children than thoss which they
had enjoyed themselves. Its purpose
was worthy of the author of the Decla
ration of Independence and of ths
statutes of Virginia for religious free
dom. And in addition to thee* two
Imsitirttil vnrltt. both ofiWXick eodMI
..4 Je.rerson to au tuiura
• "..en liens, be also deserves to be
I-iovr through the wise counsels and
i birh minded action of thus ir.cofcinc:
lii Charloitesville as the father al3o of
the University of Virginia.
Every hour which tills "departed
spirit of the mighty dead" could spare
from his form, or his family, from his
r.itnc i overwhelming eofrteHPiifiMice,
or ftrom the boundless demands of tfiat
historic and hospitable era, was freely
given to rearing tills noble institution
of learning r.raid the mountains of Vir
ginia. He had cherished this hope
nmid the throes of the Revolution,
lie persevered in It during the first
years of the country's independ
ence, because as he said himself
the founder of the University, the two
presidents, Madison and Monroe, who
succeeded Jefferson also lent him all
necessary wisdom and assistance. And
on the first report of the University
there was "danger that through the
umbilical ducts which still connect us
with Europe there might be pumped
into the veins of the nation the poison
which would induce th stillness of
national decay." He desired the great
educational institutions, the press, the
universities and the books the people
read, to be of American origin, and
permeated with the spirit which made
America independent, prosperous and
free. This was the part of wisdom be
cause a nation that received its juris
prudence, Its literature, language and
religion from another might, except
constant safeguards and national antl
tidotes were provided, easily take on
also the tinge of its national thought.
Utterly unselfish in his great scheme to
found a University, the sage of Monti
cello had In his thoughts the national
security alone. He did not name the
University after himself. He never
thought of his own Interests or hla
fame; but with a singleness of pur
pose blended a rare harmony with
marvellous sagacious Intention, he
merely desired to preface and fortify
his countrymen for the novel and Im
portant functions to which they were
summoned by their newly-born inde
pendence. Though Jefferson was thus
printed In 1818 the names of all three
are mentioned as having met at Moatl
cello the previoua year to discuss the
details of the University which now
celebrates its renovation and exten
sion.
j The trustees, true to JefTerson'3 di
rections, have raised a monument in
the entrance hall, so that the first ob
ject which strikes the eye of the vis
itor, is a life-like and finely chiseled
representation of the Sage of Monti
cello, attired in the toga of the Reman
Senator, and with his pleasing and In
tellectual countenance so seemingly
lighted up as to extend a living greet
ing to all who enter the portals of this
University. The statue almost im
presses the visitor that the living Jef
ferson is duly "receiving" him and no
visitor who has ever heard of the ro
mantic circumstances of Its foundation
or has turned homewards after that
"reception," whose heart did not beat
faster and his Americanism receive
newer and loftier inspiration, as he
turned and beheld again that historic
University; or whose lipß did not utter
a prayer of thankfulness to Heaven
that God in the bright morning of our
country's freedom had given life and
form to the soul and spirit of Thomas
Jefferson.
The Origin of Yankee Doodle.
! Despite the contention that In 1755
Dr. Shuckburgh wrote "Yankee Doo
dle," the best authorities are now
agreed that in Its original form the air
of the great American national song
was composed to deride the Cromwel
llans in England.
1 This la probably news to a great
many people, who will find it hard to
Iblnk that anything so thoroughly
American could have been born In a
foreign land. That "Yankee Doodle"
was originally a cavalier ditty, pos
sibly whistled by London street gamins
of Royalist sympathies, with the ob
ject of irritating the Roundheads, does
not seem right, but we have the au
thority of a writer in the London Tele
graph for the statement.
I It was "Nankee Doodle" then, how
ever; an unmeaning appellation ap
plied to Oliver Cromwell, who rode
Into Oxford with a single feather in his
hat, fastened in a knot, called, dur
ing the period, a "macaroni."
| "Nankee Doodle" crossed the Atlan
tic at a convenient time for adoption.
Then the term Yankee, applied orig
inally strictly to New Englanders, was
beginning to be used colloquially, hav
ing been derived from "Yenghee," the
Indian pronounclatlon of "English."
The initial "N" In "Nankee" was dis
continued, and "Y" substituted.
The tune was adopted by the Rev
olutionary colonists more in the spirit
of retaliation than anything else.
When Lord Percy's brigade marched
out of Boston the bands played "Yan
kee Doodle" as a mark of contempt
for the inhabitants of the city. Then
the colonists uttered a threat that be
fore the war ended Percy's brigade
would be made to dance to the deepfsed
tune, and it did.
■wlaa Funeral Customs.
Swiss funeral customs are most pe
culiar. At the death of a person the
family inserts a formal, black-edged
announcement in the papers asking for
sympathy, and stating that "the
mourning urn" will be exhibited dur
ing certain hourß on a special day. In
front of the house where the person
died there Is placed a little black ta
ble, covered with a black doth, on
which stands a black jar. Into this
the friends and acquaintances of the
family drop little, black-margined vis
iting-cards, sometimes with a few
words of sympathy on them. The
urn is put on the table on ths kty M
the funeral. Only man ever ge to the
churchyardi end they generator MtOW
the hearee on toot. ■

An Old Man's
Last Hope.
'Made helpless as a baby by a dreadful nervous efts
ease he read of a case like his own, and had enough
faith to follow the example it set him. Now he is
himself an example to others who are suffering from
' disorders of the nervous system. ,
Sawing wood, working in his garden,
walking three times a day to and from his
place of business—these formpart of the
daily routine of Edwin R. Tripp, Poet
master of Middlefield Centre, N. Y. He
is cast his seventieth birthday.
Nearly fifty years a bladksmith; thirty
two years Justice of the Peace; three years
town clerk, then postmaster; forty-six years
a resident of the town he now lives in—
these are the bare outlines of a useful life.
Mr. Tripp's career is a type. His story
will be read with heartfelt sympathy by
thousands. His hearty endorsement of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People will
be echoed by tens of thousands.
He saidt
"In March, 1892, I wai attacked by
what I afterwards learned was locomotor
ataxia.
"Two skillful doctors did everything
they could for me. I steadily became
worse. Was unable to dress myself.
"Later I could not move even about the
room, but was carried in my chair.
"I gave up hope. The doctors gave me
no encouragement. I did n?t expect to live
very long. I was more helpless than a
baby. I sank lower and lower.
"In June the tide turned 1 From the
lowest ebb, it began to set toward health
and vigor.
"The turning point was a newspaper
article.

Things Forbidden by War.
It is perhaps not generally realized
that the game of war is hedged round
by as many restrictions as a boxing
contest under Queensbury rules.
These regulations, says Tid-Bits,
which are under the sanction of all
the civilized countries of the world,
are designed to insure fair play to the
combatants.
When it is intended to bombard a
place, due notice should be given, so
that all women and children may be
removed to a place of safety ; and
every care must be taken to spare
churches and hospitals, as well as all
charitable or educational buildings.
All chaplains, doctors and nurses
are protected in every possible way,
and are not to be taken prisoners or
in any way injured.
Any soldier robbing or mutilating
an enemy is liable to be shot without
trial, and death is the penalty for
wounding or killing a disabled man.
The bodies of the enemy are to be
carefully searched before burial, and
any articles found on them which
might lead to their identification are
to be sent to the quarters.
Explosive bullets must not be used,
and quarter must be given to the
enemy whether he asks for it or not.
In an attack on the enemy there
must be no concealment of the dis
tinctive signs of the regiments.
Poisoning drinking wacer is strictly
prohibited.
Shake Into Tour Shoes.

age. Allen's Foot Ease makes tight or
new shoes feel easy. It is a certain
ymre for sweating, callous or hot, tired,
aching feet. Try it TO DAY. Sold by
alt druggists and shoe stores. By mail

44 It told how a man, who suffered aT?
had suffered, had been cured by Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
"It gave me faith and hope. I took two
boxes of the pills ; then four more boxes.
44 My gain was steady I pay return to
health was a source of daily gratification.
"In all I took eighteen boxes of the pills
before I was entirely well. At first I paid
50 cents a box, but afterwards I saved
money by getting six boxes at a time,
paying $2.50.
I owe my cure entirely to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People."
To clinch his remarkable story and add
to its helpfulness to others, Mr. Tripp made
affidavit to its truthfulness before Homer
Hanna, a local Notary Public.
From helplessness, suffering and despair
Mr. Tripp was restored to the healthful,
useful activity suggested at the beginning
of this sketch. His experience is like others.
While locomotor ataxia is one of the
most baffling nervous diseases with which
physicians are called to contend, its cure by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
has become a matter of almost daily oc
currence. Smaller nervous troubles yield
much more readily to the powerful influ
ence these vegetable pills exert in restoring
wasted nerve force and in purifying ana
enriching the blood.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Williams*.
