Buildings may. house a college which is a life, a growth, a tradition, that may reside In them or move out. All these are saved. What a College la. A college is composed of the toil and the sacrifice of the men and women who have labored for it, of the spirit of the donors and teachers and graduates, of present faculty and present student body.

All these remain, and after the holiday vacation every student will re turn to comfortable though Inconvenient quarters temporarily provided. The faculty is strong in devotion the students are enthusiastic In loyalty. These constitute the resident college that the trustees aiuyrfll say must be provided with buildings. This takes Despite Every They Creep urn fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofX Typographical errors and bulls are a constant Vource of vexation and chagrin to folks who hare to do with the making of newspapers. Despite the most elaborate precau tions to prevent them, they will creep in.r How they do it Is a mystery that has never yet been fat homed.

Proofs everything that goes in 'the paper are read and re-read, with all possible care and watchfulness, with the sole object in view of finding and weeding out these mistakes. In every daily newspaper office are one or more persons employed for this special work and trained to the, highest point of But the proof-reader has not yet been discovered so good that mistakes will not get by him. Let him read and- re-Vise with whatever care he. may; tlit! days are scarce when the paper doesn't go to press with one or more glaring er rors. Here's where the' mystery comes in.

No sooner has the paper been printed than these errors stand out as plain as mountains, and it seems incompre hensible that they could have escaped the proof-render's careful "searching. Sometimes, though not ofteu. errors occur that are harmful, and once in a while they are funny. That is. they are funny to all but those, responsible for the editing of thepapes and writer of the story iu which they occur.

It takes a long while for an editor or writer to appreciate the humor of a bulL All Papers Suffer. All newspapers are sufferers from these apparently unavoidable blunders, and the Beacon Journal is not an exception to the rule. No longer ago than yesterday a bull" occurred that. while not serious, served to mystify ie reuuer nu cause espiosious i President Priest's Address to the Universalists. WHAT WILL THEY DO? They Are Told They Must Help the College.

Noblest Structure the Church Ever Erected. This week's issue, of the' Universalist leader, published at Boston and Chi eago, contains the following article on Buchtel college by President Ira A. Priest: The noblest structure our church rer erected crumbled to the ground when the main building of Buchtel college burned Dee-. 20, It was an Imposing monument to the unflagging devotion of Join II. Buchtel, who gave his all that its 250 feet of length might stand five stories tall on a high hill in the heart of Akron, Ohio.

It was an honor to the many friends who labored and soeiified that the college might be and live. The grand old building, after having been thronged with eager youth for more thanja quarter of a century, Is in ashes, with its splendid equipment of offices, class rooms and laboratories, with its treasures of animal ind vegeta ble collections and with that priceless collection of-minerals selected with such discriminating care by that eml nent naturalist, all gone, physical, nd chemical apparatus, costly scopes. nu save some rurniiuro ant pictures and books from one of the? 11 braries. rJ he great uuiluing was not only a recitation and science hall but a dorml tory, the. upper floors furnishing homes for many young n.eu and women.

At a quarter past flvev wliile, the students' M. ,1 were enjoying their evening meal in the basement, fire was discovered on the roof. It was a fortunate hour, for the students were ready for action. In a minute all was bustle but not con fusion. It was an awful evening, but one joy fills all hearts, not a girl was lost, not a boy was hurt.

Nearly all the personal, property of lie students was saved, but the build-ng, costing $175,000, not to mention the apparatus and great collections. Avas destroyed. Yet all is not lost. There is. insurance on the building and contents aggregating $115,000, besides a magnificent site.

Then, too, we realize that, buildings are not and do not make the Possible Precaution Into Newspapers. IflfUWHHfUMM I I throughout the many branches of the newspaper business, are treasured stories of these occurrences, which have from time to time brought var ious papers of the country into mo mentary and objectionable notoriety. The vast majority of them occur through accident though there have been Instances, some of them histori cal, when the changes made in set ting the original copy, have been traced to malice, downright meanness, or as has been most commonly the case. to a mischievous kink in somebody's makeup that, could not see an opportunity pass to perpetrate a joke, St.ch Jokes prove costly in these days to the perpetrator, however, and when "breaks" occur in the newspaper of today, they may safely be put down to inadvertency.

Talmage a Victim. Probably no American preacher has had. his sermons more faithfully reported and more widely published than Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage.

who has recently left his Washington pastorate, to devote his whole time to writing and Iecttirin.tr. Dr. Talmasre believes the press is mightier than the pupit, and Is a most congenial companion aniouir newspaper men: but lie has suffered, for. all that, from the "bull and the typographical error, and time and time again has been placed in a ridiculous light by the reports of his sermons, for. by some strange chance, it is in such serious matters as Biblical quotations and sermons that the error seems most likely to occur.

Talking to some of his reporter friends recently. Dr. Talmage swuhz Into some stories of misquotation which had annoyed him. "Many years ago." he said, "when my sermons first attracted attention of city editors, you reporters used to make me fume and fret: but since I have come to know you Imtter. I have transferred my wrath to your adver sary, the compositor.

My eyes were opened when, after annoying blunders in print, I determined to report my own sermons for a certain New York paper. It chanced that the first time 1 reported myself I. was preaching -it sermon on the IVuetential Psalms. In which sermon I said, witli emphasis: "Ymi will notice that in these verses tUH name of Ood does not. appear om e.

not this significant "Calm and confident that this time i wl up the ptfper ou ylomay' laorning and read 'You will notice that in these verses tlie uamc of (J(h1 does uoUappear once. Is not this Fatality About Slips. This story from Dr. Talmage's huge collection, of similar experiences indicates that there is a Certain amount of fatality about slips of this kind that will intrude, despite the efforts of the Compositor not to be guilty of despite the efforts of the proofreader to catch such "bulls," if they should leave the eomiositor. and.

In fact, in spite of every safeguard that is put around the setting of for the pages of the newspaper. Like Topsy, they "just happen." arid beyond. that investigation brings little to light, From among the many stories bearing on this subject which have been published and told here, there and everywhere are the following: Two stories had been written for a daily one about the farewell sermon of a clergyman, and the second about the strange capers 'of a mad dog. By means all his own. the compositor sadly mixed them, and the readers of the paper pursued the following in the morning: "The Jtev.

James Smith, rector of St. Peter's church," preached to a large concourse of people on Sunday last. This, was his last sermon. In few weeks he will bid farewell to his eon-gregation, as his physicians advise him to cross the Atlantic. He.

exhorted his brethren aud sisters, and after offering a devout prayer, took a whim to cut tip some frantic freaks. He ran up Timothy street to Johnson, aud down Bene tit street to College. At this stage of the proceedings some lrtys seized him, tied a tin kettle toliis tail, and he again started. A great crowd and for a time there was a wild scene of confusion. After some trouble, he was shot by a policeman.

roor Sniith! An Editorial "Bull." Somethins of a similar mixup o--currel'fon a. western paiMr. the editor of which prepared two edltorlfils on I he society re porter of a southern paper. In commenting on a notable event, said that "Mrs. B.

wore nothing iu the nature of a dress that was peculiar." The compositor aw. a way of Improving that fronv humor-oua standpoint, at least, and the reason for a damage suit in that city was the following statement concerning the said Mrs. B. that appeared in the paper the following morning: "Mrs. nothing In the way of a dress.

That was peculiar." It is told of a Baltimore editorial writer that one occasion he pro duced the following, or, at least, the following was what he Intended to produce: "lie subsequently comment' ed life as a legal practitioner, but was -diverted from It by his love for lot ters." The proof of the comment was read, aud the morning paper presented the assertion as apropos of the death of a prominent literary light: "ilt subsequently commenced life as local politician, but was diverted from It by his love for bitters." Russia Wanted Troubles. A New York paper, not very long since, it Is presumed. Intended to in form its readers that Russia was ne gotiating a loan of 30,000 roubles. What the readers were informed, how ever, wjis that "The Russian gover tnent has advertised for a loan of 30, 000 troubles." It. is said that a duel which took place some years ago in Kentucky was the outcome of a.tj-pographical error in a newspaper.

There had been a heated discussion between two promt nent public men. and during its course one had called the other a liar. There is omy one Termination to an incident like this in Kentucky, as jt rule, but on 'this occasion friends of the two men Interfered, and after blood had cooled, an agreement was reached b.v wiiicii a puoiie apology would save threatened bloodshed. Friends of the two men prepared the apology, and It proved agreeable to the principles in the incident. With every care it; was taken to a local paper, and arrange ments for its publication were completed.

In tiie course of apology appear ed the assertion, "I did call Col. M. a liar, it is true, and I am sorrv for The duel that had apparently been avoided took place at sight within three hours after the publication of-the apol ogy: for, thanks to the compositor, it boldly asserted: "I did call Col. M. a liar.

It is true, and I am sorry for It." Those few instances are. but among the most ofteu told of thousands of similar oecurreues. which will probably always be" a. seeio-comie element In the production of a newspaper. They are avoided, if possible, but it will apparently require some superhuman agency to eliminate them altogether.

THEY SALUTED THE FLAG. Hawaiian Star. A colored color sergeant of the 49lh Infantry gave some white soldiers of the 42nd a lesson in respect for The flag this morning. A large crowd of white soldiers stood at Ilohron's cor ner to se tlie colored regiment era hv. They did not notice the flag (at ill.

The color sergeant rushed tin to tle row d. 'Are you American soldiers''" de manded he. tliev said. "Then alute this flag and be quick about it." In a Jiffy all caps were off and the salute was given. A white commrs-sioned officer was on the sidewalk.

His cap came off with the rest, aud he showed that he felt the justice of th rebuke. Most Akron people know Pierre. J. Bouchev. at least they are familiar with his name, but not all of them know that he once) held the queen's he! Briti commission in the ish a rmy.

While Majesty, to be Boucher, in the service of Her he earned the right addressed as "Captain" and he has tales of fight ing on the Nile and the "thin red line" In India of as thrilling Interest at those that Kipling tells. But it's not of what befell him while helping to carry the white man's burden hi Egypt and in India that tills story Is alsut. It's the sad narration of how a soldier of the queen, who had followed the cross of St. George to victor)' against Dervish and Hindu, was o'erwhelmed and put to rout by a corporal's guard of reporters In Chi- Stoppcd In Chicago. Since resigning his position as electrical engineer In charge of Akron's street railway and electric lighting plants; Mr.

Boucher baa been identified with mining interests in Arizona. While returning from the west not long ago he stopped In Chicago, and at his hotef "there the reporters found him and marked him as their prey.

Two 4-horse power motors are suspend-ed at the rear axle. The top gear is so constructed that the king bolt comes directly over the center of the axle.

Twelve or 14 passengers may be easily and comfortably carried and more if necessary. The seats and backs are trimmed with leather. The top Is lined wdth 12-ounce broadcloth. The gear of the wagon is painted with English Vermillion with a -inch strlpeof gold leaf edged with black and a fine line of yellow. All the bolt heads are covered with gold leaf edged with black.

The lower body panels, dash and top are of imperial green edged with black. The striping is of gold leaf being a -lncli line edged with yellowy The corner pieces are gold, red and light green. The upper panels of the body or backs of rear seats are of French carmine with, similar striping. The words "Police ratrol' are on each side of the wagon. They are In gold leaf appropriately shaded and edged.

Under the driver's seat-, on each side of the wagon, are the monograms, P. Two Heavy Motors; The propelling power consists of two 4 horse power motors geared to tho rear wheels. The wagon Is steered by an IS -inch brass wheel running direct from in front of the driver's seat to a gear segment bolted to the fifth wheel, which is of Parson's roller bearing de. sign. The controller for the current is on the left side of the driver's seat and comes through the seat cushion.

At the right of -the on the seat is a meter which designates the amount of current lu the batteries stored beneath the seats on each side of the wagon. The batteries are In four cases, two cases on each side and In each ease-there are 10 cells. The wagon can be stopped by means of a patent roller brake running direct to the tire controlled by a foot- lever, also a band brake to tln outside of each gear on the bar ic wheels controlled by a lever under tht steering wheel. The wagon I with an electl ic gong which-ran lV operated by the driver pressing his foot on a large button. -A light, much tho saint as those used on the head of the.

street cars, Is placed on the front of the. wagon. It is lighted by electricity andStajgau -candle power, An electric lueanfleseeut bulb is also fastened to" the top of the wagon on the inside. The large, handsome wagou. is provided with large bright brass guard rails on each side and a fancy substantial brass Krab handle at the rear and front.

The "hitching strap" Is simply a small key which the driver will carry In his Inside pocket. All the driver has to do to hitch his wonderful vehicle Is to place the key in a small hole beneath his seat, give it a turn, remove the key and, he may rest assured that no one will be able to run away with his lightning wagou. Feeding the Wagon. It will be necessary to "feed" the wagon. This will be done by rrjeans of charging-the batteries at the new patrol station at the north side of the city building.

The little station is provided with a swltfh board for this purpose. It is not yet 'known Just wV the wagon cost. City Commissioner L. MeMillen, chairman of the fire ahd -water committee, said, during tho week, that the cost of the wagon had not yet been figured up and for that reason it could not be stated, at present, what the cost is to be. It Is probable, however, that the cost will be In the neighborhood of $2,500 or $3,000.

0 A' HUMORS Of WAR. (Pittsburg News. In the Transvaal there Is said to be a great number of soldiers of fortune helping the Boers. The citizens- who serve the republic under Faul'Kruger are not credited with being humorists, so that the fun of the campaign must be credited to the alleged Irish and Frenchmen who are fighting against England. Scarcely a day passes but In the news from the front there are details of a practical joke.

There never was war with so much buffoonery In It. Now the Boers will heliograph, asking how Buller is, and this, too. Just ifter they have defeated him. This is iurely the Irishman or the Oael. Then, again plugged shells were thrown Into Lady-smith on Christmas, and.

Instead of the usual bursting charge, they were loaded with plum pudding and the compll- ments of the season. Such news as that. Is not sent at exorbitant esbhV rates unless there Is something back of It. Really. It sounds as part of A comic opera libretto.

Instead of details of one of the most stubborn fights of modern days. It shows, too, that the Boers are not Just the grim, ignorant men people generally credit them with being. They seem to be masters of sarcasm, for these little bits of byplay, which must be galling to the staid British, are always put In Just when they will cut most. ill wratli in the local news room. In tell-Hs lgfg 1 1 1 I Akron's new autouiethle, the first horseless patrol wagon ever made, Is now.

completed and 1st ready for use. It Is a remarkable vehicle and while only a few people have been able to gain admittance to the workshop at No. 1 engine house and have seen It the big up" wagon has, nevertheless, attracted a great deal of attention! not only at home but in distant Cities. The few people who have been priv ileged to see the automobile have only words of praise for It. It is a heavy wagon but at the same time it is by no means clumsy' and has an artistic finish.

For many months this truly modern vehicle, which is to be propell ed by electricity, has been slowly but carefully nut together. A few weeks aco when the various parts, in the rough, were assembled the wagon was run out upon the streets and was giv en a practical test which proved higli IV satisfactory. Since then the wagon has received its finishing touches aud it is a beauty. Paige Conceived Idea. a he man-who conceived the idea of building the automobile was City Commissioner A.

T. Paige. Mr. Paige had become much Interested In the Invention of automobiles and the more he read of them the more fully he became convinced that an automobile patrol wagon would be a good thing for Akron and jtfieuld be a paying in-vestment. IIe mentioned the matter to the other members of the board of city commissioners and they became Interested none, however, more so 1hat O.

chairman of the and water committee. Mechanical Engineer Frank' F. T.oomis was consulted. He considered the project and soon informed the commissioners that he could build such a wagon. This was last summer and Mr.

Paige and Mr. Loom Is went east and examined several automobile vehicles. The commissioners decided to build an automobile patrol waeon and the const ruction was placed in the hands of Mr. Loomis. Mr.

MeMillen. however, supervised the entire work and no one has been more interested throughout the building of the wagon than he. Planned by Loomis. Every part of the wagon was planed by Mr. Loomis and much of the electrical mechanism was made hy Mr.

Loomis and his brother Charles II. "The' front was made by the Selle liear company, of this city, and all the rest of the work. Including the painting was done by the Collins Buggy company, also of this city. The automobile will be removed jrom ao. 1 engine house to its new quarters, at the cjty building, just as soon as the varnish becomes thorough ly hard.

It wilUke put into service some time next week, and will be in charge of the regular patrol drivers. The old wagon will continue to be used until the men become thoroughly acquainted with the automobile, Mechanical Engineer Frank F. Loomis said, Friday, that he has already received letters from publishers of electrical Journals asking him to prepare a complete history and description of the new wagon. He has also received an invitation to attend a national convention of electricians to be held f'n Pittsburg some time during next August for the purpose of delivering a descriptive paper on the new automobile patrol wagon. Mr.

Loomis will probably attend the convention When the automobile is run out for the first time it will he taken to the new patrol station where It will be photographed for the city commissioners. A Handsome Vehicle. Viewed from any position the new automobile Is a handsome vehicle and is sure toi attract great attention. Tt weighs complete 5,500 pounds and has a speed capacity of 20 miles an hour. The body Is 10 feet long and four feet, four inches wide.

The front of the wagon and dash are slightly round ed. The frame work of the top is built much the same as a street car with regulation street car roller curtains at the sides and rear end and with a heavy leather curtain to bo used in case of severe weather and capable of being adjusted to the frout of the top to protect the driver. The wagon la equipped with Archi bald patent wheels the same aa are used on the fire apparatus. The axles are Grant roller bearing- and the wheels have a 21nch solid rubber tire capable of standing much heavy wear. The tires were made by the Springfield Rubber Tire Wheel com pany, rue springs are tne lull plat- money, and the problem Is to find It or raise it, which ought not to be a difficult task in this time wheu money is more and more flowing into the channels of education.

Some will be found in large bequests, some will be raised in small gifts. Akron will respond generouslyrich and poorwinen and women, yes, and even children. Irrespective of denomination lines are ready and enthusiastic. But Akron cannot be' expected. to do all that needs to be done.

Now is the opportunity of our church. We have four colleges. One of them makes an. appeal that must be heeded far. beyond Akron, beyond Ohio; far as our church extends.

"We are not discouraged, because we believe in our people; but if the college Is to be saved, our people, as churches, and as individuals, must work with a unity of purpose seldom exhibited. When a college is founded, it begins. with only a prospect a possibility. Here we have a beginning, a greatplant in a college site, a large athletic field, a gymnasium. observatoryV president's house, a considerable endowment, and.

above all. a life, the importance of which cannot be estimated. Think of a faculty whose interest and consecration are born of lone years of service In the same chairs: think of the alumni association, that body jruard or members, each one calling old Buchtel "Alma Mater:" consider the nearly 200 present students ready! to endure any inconvenience, provided they may cluster around the old campus, sing their songs and give their eollegpcheers. All this we have as Invested property and life and prophesy. That the college' mav not be lost, that it may re main the power it has been, that it may go on aud become what every opportunity predicts, we must have the monev svmpathy of every friend in our land.

The cry for aid sounds no note of despair. We must live aud yon must help us. 1 o- CORN FOR RUSSIA. Indianapolis News. j.

'jiu'u Kouciier saw that he was up against it.

Tied have to set the rc porters right or their stories would cause him no end of trouble and cm barrassmeut. They might even accuse him of being here to buy Missouri mules to run away with British ammu nition. He first proved, and the reporters Insisted upon unimpeachable evidence, that he was a resident of Akron in the state of Ohio. He proved. ttoo.

that he was an American citizen aud hadn't been in the English army for years and years. Finally he convinced tljem that he had been west on private business matters aid had merely stopped in Chicago on his way to Akron. Disappointment was written all over their reportorial faces, but they'd yet another chance for a story. "We'd like to have your opinion, Captain Boucher, of the campaign against the Boors," they pleaded. "Oh, I've been bo long out of the service," the answered, "that I don't feel competent to express an opinion.

You'll have to excuse me." They Had Interviews. Thus dismissed, the reporters hurried away to their respective offices to write up long Interviews with "Captain Boucher, of Akron, an ex-Eug-llsh officer," on the war in Africa. Oue of them, with well-developed powers of romancing, quoted him aa saying that the English needed American generals to conduct their battles. When Mr. Boucher bought the papers next morning he learned how they do things in Chicago.

Now, when he travels westward, he goes around the Windy City. and the Reporters. that Captain Boucher had seen service in the English army. Now, hotel clerks are wide-awake fellows with a keen appreciation of the value of newspaper advertising. They like to have their houses written up as ofteu as possible as the stopping places of distinguished personages.

The omission of three made it read that the thieves Mole-money that had been contributed "for.the heathen of the Sunday school." Upon another occasion a press dispatch telling of a New York fire had headlines rending: "Seven people killed, most of them fatally so." The seven people were only Society Reporter's Shock. The Mory of liie particular "bull" has been handed down iu the office for years and years. The society reporter was sent to cover a swell reception one afternoon at an East Market street home. He wrote "up a nice long story, telling in detail what the ladies had on.

He went into particular raptures over the costume worn by Mrs. Blank, and wound up his description with the statement that "Mrs. Blank had plumes in her hair. He knew that he had done well and it was witli a good deal of satisfaction 1 liar he' waited for a copy of the paper When it finally issued from the press the society reporter almost fell dead. The types had made him sav: "Mrs.

Blank had prunes in her hair." These "bulls" are anions the things that an editor always wants to forget, aud It Is only now and then that a particularly ludicrous one Is remembered and repented. The following collection of "bull" stories was compiled by ft writer in tne Baltimore American and was recently published by that paper: Have Always Occurred.

This hesitancy confirmed the reporter's pre-conceived opinion that the captain was in Chicago on an Important mission for the English government, and he was not to be daunted. Representatives from other paiers had Joined him by this time, and they fired in volleys. "Are you here to buy munitions of war?" "Munitions of war," he gasped, "why, I haven't any war that I want munitions for." "Now, Captain Boucher," the reporters insisted."
