THE MODERN COLLEGE Boys LETTER HOME.-Dear Mother:-I am not making so much progress as l expected in my stud ies, because there's great deal else to at tend to here. But we have lively times. I have just returned from the funeral of Bil- ly Cook. He was shot last Tuesday night because he wouldn't allow the Sophs to take off his pantaloons and paint his legs red and green, barber pole fashion. This is the last degree conferred on the Fresh men by the Sophs. l wish you would send me six x-shooter, one hundred cartridges and double -barrelled shot gun. We aint a going to stand any more nonsense from the Sophs. After prayers this morning our class were all busy making sand bags. We're putting up barrcade on the east end of our building, and intend to mount it with six pound Gunnonade. The losses iu our class have been pretty heavy this week. John Hilton is very low with bull let in his stomach. and Seward Livingstone is not expected to recover from the stab iu the side. Jack Rhinelander is lamed fol life by bullet in the knee, and Sam Aston has lost the sight of one eye from brick bat. There isn't whole window left ir our college building. But you wait, moth CT! You just wait a few days and you'll hear something. We're undermining the Soph's quarters. We're working day and night. The tunnel is now l20 yards long
 l. goes straight over the campus and under old Prex's building. We've established $ communication with his cellar, and tell you drop of claret or Burgundy is very nice after 8 fellow has handled pick and shovel half the night. We shall use dyna- mite. Keep shady, mother. There won
 be Soph left by this tune next week.
 Your affectionate son, VIRGIL KELLY.

Jolly Sea Dogs.

The officers of Admiral Hornby's fleet, near Constantinople, are about the jolliest set of sea dogs adoat. At Besika Bay they have had fox hunting, with all the regula- ton features of horses, hounds, stables and kennels. The country on the Asatic side of the Dardanelles is very favorable to sport of this kind. During the long even. ings private theatricals have been given on board the Alexandra and other iron-clads
 at which amateur players did their best
 Even at Tuzla, where they have to keep sharp lookout for Russian torpedoes, tht officers manage to enjoy stolen trips tt Pera in the dispatch boat. What effect al
 this has on the discipline of the fleet, thu correspondents neglect to state. Nor have the Russians, on their side, been withou
 the enjoYments needed after long cam paign. At San Stefano and Tchataldis they have ensconsed themselves in the houses of the wealtEiest residents, and art daily supplied from the Constantinoplt nearkets. According to one authority tht railway groans under hampers of game pastry and sweetmeats, while ''a very rive
 of champagne, whose source is in the cap ltal, debouches beyond the natural zone. The bathing and quail shooting at San Ste fsno are exec lent, and the conquerur
 show no desire to leave such peasun
 quarters. The glittering parades of the Imperial Guard, and the splendid music of the bands draw such crowds of visitors from Constantinople that extra trains are run on the railways and extra steamers on the waterways. .aF.. t.

LAST WORDS.

Deal gently with me, o my friends, when this
 hail life hathfied, When ye shall gather ln my home, and whis- per ''she is dead.' Let not word of idle praise be breathed o'eI
 my repose, And as for blame, however just, oh | leave it
 to my foes. zE'E Bend OCT my couch with cheerful smile, and say s'she is at rest: We loved her we'll, we miss her much, but God knows what is best" And when ye robe me for the grave, let no cold shroud be there, To send shudder to the heart, as from Deaths icy air; But wrap me in some simple garb, that speaks of warmth and rest, And lay fair blossoms OCT my brow, and on my silent breast; Put nothing in ny folded hands-but let them
 empty be, To show that Life and all it's cares is hence forth naught to me And toll no bell and chant no dirge OCT my unburied dust, But utter words of earnest prayer, and sing sweet hymns of trust; Then lay me gently down to rest where sleep my loved and lost; And think of me as one whose barque no more is tempest-tost. And when you go back to the world, ohl dc
 not quite forget, That one whose heart Is warm and true would
 fain be cherished yet. But do not mourn that have gone. nor cast a
 veil of gloom, ss 4ff x Above my lonely, vacant place in each familiar
 room; But bring the flowers love the best, and lei
 their fragrance be A pleasant incense in the house to walker
 thoughts of me. And sometimes place upon my grave the blos- soms, fair and sweet, That shall be pledges of our love until the houl
 we meet. ask no more-for thus to live in hearts cal
 mine own Were better than the sounding praise of mon
 umental stone. crave no guerdon of the werld-I ask no boor of Fame, If ye but cherish, year by year, my we'll re membered name.

THE COMING TRANs1T.--On May 9th will oc- cur transit of Mercury: that is Mercury will pass between us and the sun, so that,.for seven hours and half its form will be distinctly shown upon the suns face. The transit will be visible from all parts of this country, and scientists from abroad are already coming over to observe it from this point. It will be in pro- gress here from 1928 a. m. to COS p. m. It is popularly supposed that the distance of the sun froR the earth is one of the well establish ed mathematical facts. This is not correct, and the coming transit is one of a series of things that will help the determination of the matter. It is only as instruments become more nearly perfect, and many observations at points far apart are taken, that this important meas urement can be reduced to great closeness. It is probable that this transit will aid much in determining whether there is little planet revolving between Mercury and the sun, a matter which most of our readers may be sur- prised to learn is still in doubt. It is also ex- pscted that our astronomers with their im- proved appliances will be able to detect Mer- cury's moon if she is rich enough to have one, and to satisfactorily decide on it's absence Ii she is without such an attendant. Then cer- tain questions concerning the bubbling of the sums surface, and the color of the light at its extreme margin are expected to be helped tow | ards solution. It will be seen therefore, that this is an event of great scientific interest. Our Lawrence observatory with it's splendid telescope, is, we regret to say, so far in the fu- l ture that it isn't yet talked about, but we SUD- pose that many of our citizens have spy-glass- es and binoculars which, if prop erly shielded with colored or even smoked glass, will show the passage of the planet. It will be noticed that about 2 p. m., Mercury will be about mid way of the suns face, making that good time to catch view of it. As Mercury is notNisi- ble to the naked eye, glimpse of it will be a ! great novelty.

The Tariffville Disaster.
(From the Hartford Post.)

From the Hartford Post.)
 A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Western railroad was held Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of con- sidering what course the company ought to pursue in regard to the sufferers by the recent Tariffville disaster. The members of the board present were Messrs. T. M. Allyn, General Hillyer and Lent B. Merri- am of Hartford, ex Governor A. H. Hol- ley and Donald J. Warner of Salisbury, William L. Gilbert of Winsted, Leman w. Cutler of Watertown and E. T. Butler of Norfolk. Vice-president Hillyer of the road presided at the meeting in the absence of President Camp. A thorough discus sion of the calamity was engaged in, and 5 the feeling of the board was in faYor of do- ing what the company could with justice to itself for the help and relief of those : who had suffered by the disaster. While the directors held the view that the corpo- ration was neither legally nor morally lia- ble. the accident having been inevitable, . they were unanimous in the opinion that |, whatever the company could do for the all deviation of the suffering which had been caused, should be done. In accordance with thls disposition to do all that is possi- ble for the afflicted, a resolution was pass ed at the meeting, authorizing the appoint. ment of committee to consult with the injured and friends and families of those whose lives were lost, to see what they will accept in the way of aid from the com pany for damages received. This action on the part of the company is purely volun- tary, and is taken without allowing that the road is legally liable. The committee appointed to confer with the sufferers con sists of Lent B. Merriam of Hartford and Leman W. Cutler of Watertown. What ever aid is rendered will of necessity be small in amount, as the company is not in a condition at present to expend money outside of regular expenses and necessary repairs. It will have hard work to meet the necessary expenditures of the year, many repairs being needed along the line, which must be attended to. Large numbers of new ties must be laid, trestle work filled in, and besides new bridge has got to be con- structed at Satan's Kingdom, and plans for it's construction are now under contempla- tion. All this work must be done in order to maintain the road In good condition. Il is felt that under the circumstances in the case all adjustments should be made with reference to the power of the road to meet expenditures outside of it's legitimate busi- ness, and while it would gladly undertake to make generous offerings to the sufferers from the calamity, it will by it's crippled condition be prevented from doing so. l is believed that under the unfortunate con- ditlon of affairs the sufferers will be dis posed to make an amicable settlement will the company, as they will undoubtedly re ceive more by this method than tEey coult possibly obtain by resorting to the courts which, it is held on good authority, woul, result in their not obtaining any damage
 whatever.

MAGAZINE GUNs.-The small arms board Colonel Benton of Springfield, Major Far ley of the Kennebec, Augusta, Me-, arse nal, and MaJor F. H. Parker of Fortress Monroe, with Lieutenant Greer as recorder -is in session at Springfield. Mass, to ex- ainine and test magazine guns. They have adopted the rules of the Terry board that met in l872-3. The regular tests to which ali the guns will be submitted are eight in number, and are calculated to ascertain the rapidity with which the weapon can be dis charged, it's strength aud endurance, and it's workings when injured by dust or rust and when fired with defective cartridges or ex- cessive charges. The rapidty with which the guns can be fired with accuracy will be determined by the number of shots which, fired in one minute, hit target six feet by two at a distance of 100 feet. To test it's endurance, each gun will be fired 500 con- tinuous rounds without cleaning, the me chansm being examined at the end of ev- cry 50 rounds. The piece will next be ex- posed in a box prepared for the purpose to blast of fine sand-dust for two minutes, and then be fired 20 rounds. replaced for two minutes and then be fired 20 rounds more. Then the gun will be rusted and test ed under this condition, and finally will be fred with excessive charges. The guns which pass through all these tests in sstis- ! factory manner will be subjected to 8 series of more violent supplementary tests cover ing the same ground, and will then be thor. oughly examined by the board. The prin- cipal point ln which superiority is claimed for the magazine guns over breech, ,loaders is greater rapidity in firing. It is not gen. eraily expected that the experiments by the present board will result in the immediate adoption of magazine gun, but is is though that they will prove the incentive to great improvements and valuable inventions ir l the near future.

Indian Ter ritory, whence they were brought ill cap- tlvity and restored to their tribes whose reservation is close by. They number about sixty, including three or four chiefs. Several have dled while ln confinement, which has continued over three years The Indian Deeart ment has provided for the education of sixteen of the children. It is expected that their liberation will have the effect of preventing any cooperation of the Indians in the Southwest with the war-like movements ln spring, of the Sioux and other tribes. During tbeir imprisonment thelr keeper, Capt. R. H, Pratt, has so framed and disciplined them by mild processes that they come back it is thought, reformed to peaceful habits
