OF the secretary OF war, with the approval
OF the president. The rates of tariff for
twenty.word kilograms are 10 cents for

to 1000 miles, with proportionately
increased rates for longer dis

Cornell decides that the co-educa-
ton of the sexes is all right. Presi-
dent Adams says the girls are discreet
and studious.. There have been no
scandals to disturb confidence in the
system. Suppose there had been. 1t
is not any more likely that the two
sexes can always meet for educational
purposes without a fool or a scamp
than that they can meet in society
without occasional mischief. But lit
tie bankrupt Adelbert College gives
it up. The girls must have separate
institution. 1t is not said whether it
may be on the same street or not.
The real point to get at is, that boys
should be educated to be men, and
girls should be educated to be women;
and each should be taxed only &C,
cording to their strength.

II does not become me to give from this Of.
ncial place expression to the personal feel
ings with which the decease of my
master, the departure Of the first German
There is, in fact, no need of it.,
for the feelings which animate me live in the
heart of every German. But there is one
thing which I believe I should not conceal
from you. 1t does not concern my senti-
ments, but my experience. 1t is the fact
that amid the sore visitations with which
the ruler just departed lived to see his house
6fh!cted, there were two circumstances
which filled him with satisfaction and COM
fort. One OF them was the effect that the
suferlngs OF his only son and successor, our
present sovereign lord, had produced not
only in Germany but in every part of the
world. l received this very day from New
YORK q telegram of sympathy, showing what
confidence the dynasty of the imperial house
mas acquired among all nations. This is the
queaths to the German people. The conf
dence which bis dynasty has won will be
transferred to the nation, despite anything
that has happened.
The house received the communication
with evident satisfaction, the more SO be-
cause Herr Won Puttkamer in announcing
the death of the emperor to the lower house
OF the diet had not alluded to the new en-
peror. This omission had created q painful
impression. The reichstag adjourned for an
indefinite period.
H NEW EMPEROR PROCLAIMED.
The new king was proclaimed Frederick
III. He signs FREDERICK" without reference
to emperor or king. The chancellor has re-
ceived the following telegram from Emperor
Frederick:
San Reno, March g. AT this moment of
deepest sorrow at the decease of the en-
peror and king, my beloved father, I must
express my thanks to you and to the min
listers of state for the devotion and Loyalty
with which you all served him. rely upon
the assistance of you all in the arduous
charge which has devolved upon rue. I
leave here tomorrow. FREDERICK.
The emperor has also forwarded the fol-
lowing ordinance to the minister of state on
the subject Of public mourning:
With. regard to the national mourning
which has heretofore been customary, we
will not order any provision, but will rather
leave it to every German to determine how
he will give expression to his af1iction at the
death OF such a monarch, and how long he
will deem it appropriate to restrict partici-
patton In public entertainments.

Probably the most expensive operaj
cloak worn by a lady this winter is
that which belongs to Miss Letter, the
pretty Chicago girl, who now claims
Washington as her home. The cloak
is of white MORE plush brocaded in

great value depends, however, on the

crop can be grown. To pillow under a
crop Of growing clover that can be cut

to do so. The object in advocating the
