Mr. Pearson Closes his Revival.
To night (Thursday) Rev. R, G
Pearson will close the series of ser
mons which he has been preaching
ally, for it furnishes superior arti
cles at low prices. We should also
like to see a large number of
the students become members of the
society, as that would give it
strength, and enable it to do even
better work than it is now doing.
These services have certainly been
of great value not only to the stu
dents of the University, but also to
j the villagers and to the entire com
munity. Mr. Pearson has certainly
succeeded in impressing upon the
minds of many of our young men

The University Wins n Suit.
The Wilmington Messenger, of
Jan. 26th, contains an account of a
suit won by the University in ftie
Superior Court of New Hanover
County. The case was the Uni
versity of North Carolina vs. Geo.
W. Davis, col., to recover a piece of
real estate in Wilmington, valued at
$4000,. and formerly owned by Mar
tha Strudwick, a former slave, who
was set free, and died, leaving the
property to two daughters?, both of
whom died without heirs and with
out making a will. There is a stat
ute providing that where persons
die intestate without heir their prop
erty escheats to the University.
Geo. W. Davis claimed that as the
husband of one of the daughters he
had a right to occupy the property
as tenant in common. The jury
found that the University was enti
tled to half the property when the
owner without heirs died, and is en
titled to the other half on the death
of Davis. The University also sued
for the recovery of the rents on its
half and received 200.

Philological Club.
!On Tuesday evening at 8:30
o'clock the Philological Club held
its regular monthly meeting in the
English lecture room, Prof. Toy,
presiding.

Prof. Toy read a paper on "A
Tyrolese Passion-play of the 15th
century. In this play everything
moves right on, without scenes or

at dramatic representation on the

The next meeting of the Club
will be held on the third Tuesday
evening in February.
There is a decided feeling of rest-
1 1 1-4
essness noticeable among the col
ege crews of the country this year.
Cornell and Pennsylvania have for
weeks been earnestly discussing a
plan to send crews to England to
engage in the great Henley event
there. Pennsylvania is trying to
arrange also a race with Harvard.
Columbia announces that . she will
maintain a 'varsity eight this year,
and has made overtures to Pennsyl
vania for a meeting at New London.
Yale is already talking of racing
with Cornell and Oxford this spring.
Courtney, Cornell's professional
coach, has been trying for a number
of years to secure a race with Yale,
and it is believed now that he will
receive a favorable reply. There is
no doubt in the minds of rowinir
Within the past few days a great
wave of religious feeling has swept
over the University as a result of the
meetings now being held by Mr. Pear
son. Almost all of the old mossv
back sinners among the .students
have shaken hands with him to try and
lead a better life, and many have pro
fessed religion. The Tar Heel's
best wishes go with him in his sinner
pursuing career. "A little religion is
a dangerous thing though, especially
when it has come on the wings of en
thusiasm instead of heralded by the
light of reason, and to the students
the Tar Heex would say: Be as good
as you want to, feel as much interest
and enthusiasm over the meeting as
'u please, but don't you go up and
shake hands and say you are convert
ed until you are convinced that you
genuinely feel all you imagine you do.
Then, if you want to, join the church.
Do nothing in a fit of enthusiasm, and
you will never regret it.
People tvill talk
And they do say
That George Stephens is getting
color-blind.
That it's dangerous to talk to an
other fellow's girl.
That gymnastics should not be
practiced at a third story window.
That the subject of the Washing
ton's Birth day Oration will be,
"An inquiry into the Idiopsycho
logical influence of Margaret of
France upon the future state of
George Washington's Hatchet."
That you can't always tell a girl's
hand by its size, especially in the
dark.
