The track is eight feet wide and seven.

They were Thomas Cox, ofParkersburg,

Cox has q previous record OF 2l9 miles

McClelland started out TO pound the

making over ten miles the first hour.
His trainer, the famous Max Lamar,
adopted a novel cure, placing paper next

Tho Principal Of Female College offends
His Pupils by Warning Them Against
Common Evils.
BoDESTowN, N, j., Feb. 2l,-Theprin-

is the Rev. W. O. Bowen. The school
stands on the high bank Of the Della
ware and commands view Of the river
for miles. 1t has always enjoyed an ex-
cellcnt reputation. Lately, however,
Language Objectionable to some Of the
pupils was used at q recitation Of the
class, The subject under discussion was
the state OF morals in England during
the seventeenth century as compared
with that OF the present day. The pu.
pills were reading at the time from
Welsh's English Literature. One Of the
pupils asked Prof. Bowen whether the
morals Of that age were worse than
those OF to-day. lii answering that ques.
tion the girlssay Prof. Bowen gave a mum.
Der OF facts relative to the immortality
OF the times, which the question did not
call for. He referred also to the danger
OF dancing in full dress with men. He
thought girls should not accept bonbons
or a glass Of punch from gentlemen. The
bonbons might be drugged. He also
said, 1t Is alleged, that any young girl
who loved q man enough to marry him
would very often yield to him more than
she ought, These and other remarks Of
q like character are alleged to have been
used, and they SO angered the girls, 1t is
asserted, that they went at once TO Mrs.
Bowen, the principals wife, and de-
manded new teacher, saying they
would leave the school unless the de-
mand were complied with. Thisrequest
was also made to Prof. Bowen, but he
refused to grant 1t for the reason that by
SO doing he would virtually acknowledge
that he was In error.
The pupils thereupon prepared state
ment OF their grievances and announced
that they would inform their parents OF
what had occurred.
