THE new President of Harvard

The new President of Harvard
University, Professor Eliot, was the
candidate oe the liberal party of the
Trustees and OVerseers of the College
for the Office which he now holds. In
his inaugural address, he advocates a
higher standard of admission to col
lege, an increase in the number of
special courses and elective studies,
and higher salaries for professors and
teachers. At present the corporation
will not receive women into the Col
lege proper, or into any of the profess
sional schools which require residence
near the College. President Eliot re-
CARDS it as the duty Of Harvard to
maintain a cautious attitude In regard
to the woman question until the
problem is nearer its solution. But
women are now permitted to attend
the University course of lectures
recently established.

Earthauake il Eou England.

The slight shock of an earthquake
experienced Friday morning is sufh-
eient TO remind US that we are not
exempt from disturbances of this na-
ture. which, though supposed to be
confined to more tropical climes, have
left no portion of the earth's surface
exempt from visitation. We have
had several evidences Of this formi-
dable phenomena of nature before,
and not iuffequently we have inteli-
gence from localities IN this section
of the couotry of very marked shocks.
On the first of June, 1888, az earth
quake took place In the New Eng-
laud States, in the afternoon, and it
was sufficiently violent to shake
movable articles. On the 29th of
October, 1927, a shock, which was of
two minutes duration, took place,
and was felt ell along the coast.
February 6, 1875, another shock took
place, and November 18, 1855. the
earthquake extended from New Eng
land 10 the West Indies, damagir g
| towns Throughout the whole extent
/ of the coast. On the 18th of March,
/ 1851, there was violent shock IN
this and adjoining States, at half past
two O'Clock in the morning, and
Others of note are recorded We
have happily been spared any disas-

have proved SO destructive, and which

great earthquake IN 1855 almost de-
stroyed the city of Lisbon. It con-
tinued only six minutes, but sixty
thousand persons persisted. La 1911
violent earthquakes shook the valley
of the Mississippi, and lakes disap-

THE PHoroeRAPHs.-In regard to
the photograph notice of which tho
JOURNAL complains so much IN yes
terday mornings paper, we would say
that the local editor had nothing to
do with it. The paragraph should
have appeared in the local advertis-
ing columns" instead OF in the city
news column. II would then have
appeared as communication as it
was intended, instead of city news
item. Will the JOURNAL make the
ameade honorableS-LOcal, Courier.
We can only say that the C6urier'
was unfortunate in printing, as q
paragraph by the local, statement
that recessitated the reply which sp-
peared in the JOURNAL. We have no
disposition to censure the local for a
falsehood he disclaims, and trust
hereafter he will not be made to
shoulder the sins of others. as in the
instance to which we refer.

The EUROPEAN HARVEST
is a general resume Of the harvest re-
ports for Europe as received at Paris
up the LIST OF the present month:
"The accounts of the harvest in
Germany are very unequal, varying In
different districts from good to far
below the average yield. On the whole,
the grain harvest of middle Germany
was below the average; that of the
southern States was far better. From
Austria we hear that the yield of corn
is considerably smaller than in the
last two years; the same is true of
Roumania. The Russian harvest is
stated to have been good, and the
crops have nowhere failed so COM
pletely as in Some places last year.
The fodder is everywhere poor, with
the exception of a few mountainous
districts. There has been very little
clover, and both the hay and surro-
gate have been much injured by the
unfaYorable weather. On the other
hand, there has been a good deal of
straw. Both, potatoes and beets have
suffered from the heat and drouth of
July and the rain of August. The
disease has also appeared with more
or less virulence in some parts. The
hopes entertained for the potato har-
vest are net, therefore, high; but it is
said that the beet is improving. The
hops are said to be in a very poor
condition, partly on account of the
weather, and partly from the insects
and the disease, which have appeared
in many gardens. Scarcely o quarter
of the usual yield Is expected. But
little fruit has been gathered, and
even what was is poor In quality.
This is particularly the case with APP
pies, and plums. Nor will 1869 be
numbered among the select yiniages,
as the quantity Of grapes is small and

A RELIGIOUS Vow.-A foreign let
ter states that the Duchess d'AosTA,
in a recent serious illness, when her
life was despaired Of, vowed to Heaven
that, if her days were spared. she
would send a most valuable present
to the Chapel Of the Holy Sepulchre
at Jerusalem. The Florence court
jewellers have just finished this votive
Offering. Some of the most precious
Jewels in the Duchess casket adorn
this crown. Among the diamonds
and pearls is a pearl more precious
than the diamonds, which has been
for more than one hundred years in
her family, and which passes for the
most valuable pearl in the world.

A HoRRID DEADFALL.-The bridge
in process Of construction between
Jacksonville and Louisville has been
most destructive of human life. An
other victim was offered up on Sun
day last, making the total number Of
men killed By accident at The bridge,
since the commencement of the work
three years ago, eleven. In three
instances, death has been caused
directly by liquor-the persons being
intoxicated when they lost their
lives. The man who lost his life
Sunday was upon the bridge contrary
to orders. IF this fatality continues,
it will be, to a large number, q
bridge of sighs."

a SUIcIDE.-The Vincennes San of
Tuesday contains the following sad
occurrence:
Alex. I'll. Hume, of CentraIia, ILL.,,
who has been in this city for the past
week, committed suicide at the Cot
tage Saloon, on Upper Second Street,
on Saturday evening last. He had
been drinking to excess for some
time, and wandered in the above place,
where he had seated himself in a
chair, and IN a few minutes fell back
with life extinct, having taken NOR
phine enough to end his earthly ex-
istence. In conversation day or two
before his demise, he intimated that
he was q " hard case" having served
two years ia the penitantiary; and
said he had plot set in this city, and
that If he did not succeed, he would
quit this world, for he was hard up"

me Peace of Rurone,

1t is an Ill wind that blowsno good.
The illness of the Emperor Napoleon
renders it impossible for him to ae-
company an army to the field of bat
tie; and even a successful campaign
without his personal presence with
his victorious troops, would do his
dynasty more harm than good; aud
SO, while he lives an invalid-and it
is said that he must be one while be
lives at all-the peace of Europe is
pretty we'll assured. Indeed, Lord
Clarendon has lately declared, that
since the Austrian and Prussian war
of 1866, Europe has at no time had so
fair prospect of a general peace as
at the present time. Add to the boye
considerations, that Bismarck is about
used up with the deliriatDa trenle7as, and
certainly we may conclude the present
ill-winds in Prussia and France are
blowing decidedly good to Europe
generally; for the peace of these two
nations ensures the peace of the whole
continent, for the present at least.

THE recent election in Pennsylva-
mia shows q total vote in that State of
sac, 1903, out of which Gov. Geary has
a majority over Judge Packer Of
1896 votes. At the last Presidential
election the total vote of Pennsylva-
MIA was 655, 663 polls. So it appears
that Judge Packer was beaten BY a
failure of the Democrats TO vote. The
loss is mainly in Philadelphia, where
a sehism occurred In the Democratic
ranks. Unless Democrats will learn
to bury sheir animosities in political
matters. we may expect q perpetual
Radical success. That party goes for
their RAN, no matter who or what he
is. Democrats in Evansville are
learning a lesson from the unitv of
their opponents, no matter whether
other people heed the lesson or not
Courier.
We wish the statement above, that
PACKER was defeated because of a
failure of the Democrats to vote, was
correct. When Democrats begin to
stay away from the polls, there is
good hope for the future of the coun-
try. Bat, unfortunately. the Courier
is mistaken. The Democrats. as con-
trasted with their opponents, were
out in force, and the reason PACKER
was defeated is not that the Demo.
Gratis failed to vote, but there was not
enough of them to vote. The follow

to one Democrat. When the add.

that last year the most gigantic frauds
were perpetrated in the city of Phila.
