A REMARKABLE STIPULATION.
Alleged to Have Place in Our Treaty.
with Italy.

with Italy.
The Post says that in our treaty with
Italy, article p stipulates that if this
country and Italy should ever declare war
all merchants On the coasts or in ports of
each country shall be allowed one year to
arrange their business and transport their
effects to their own country, and in the
case of persons living in the interior the
time shall be one year. In case of inya-
sion all artisans, mechanics and farmers
shall be allowed to continue their calling
uninterrupted; their property shall not be
destroyed nor their fields wasted: that If
anything necesS airy be taken by the enc
my it shall be paid for. The article also
declares that no pretense that war dis
solves treaties shall annul or suspend this
stipulation.
Would Not stand a Moment
The existence of this article was not
generally known by the diplomats ana
others to whom it was shown last night.
Even such an experienced treaty
maker as William B. Prescott said he
could not understand how it came to be
inserted, and Representative McCreary,
who has made study of all the treaties
negotiated by this government, said that
it was the most remarkable clause that
had ever come within his experience Il
do not like to say it is mere buucombe,"
he added, 1and yet it would not stand a
moment in case of war notwithstand-
ing all its solemn and sacred protesta-
tons"
Blaine Will Go Right On.
Notwithstanding the withdrawal of
Baron Fava and the severance of diplo.
matte relations between the United States
and Italy, Secretary Blaine will not allow
his interest in regard to the New
Orleans affair to rest, and he will inform
the Italian government of the result of the
grand jury's investigation of the killing
of the Italians Baron Fava has not vet
applied for his passports.

session OF the Fifty first congress the man

a week ago the statement was made by
some Republican wag in Washing ton
City that Springer had consumed s., 900, =

gress by his frequent speeches and his de-
mands for the yeas and nays. Incredible
as it may seem, this statement has been
accepted by the supplemented Spring

getting letters from his constituents
about it. Inasmuch as the entire cost of
running the house of representatives Is
only 9, $50, 900 year, it was not thought
necessary to explain that the statement
concerning SprinEer's waste of -. 600, 900

Special Correspondence az the REGISTER.
FAIRMoNT, June 9.-The address of
Prof. w. p. Wiley, of Morgantown, be-
fore the Mozart and Lyceum Literary
Societies on Monday night, was prob
ably one of the most pleasing and ele-
CANT efforts that Fairmont audience
has ever had the pleasure Of listening
to. Promptly at 8 o'clock, Mr.. Corn
wall, president of the meeting, an
nounced music by the orchestra, after
which Mr.. Guy Bartlett arose, and in a
neat and appropriate Introductory
speech, introduced to the audience the
speaker for the evening, Prof. Wiley,
of Morgantown.
The lecturer had chosen for his SUBJ
jcct, There's Woman in It," In his
introduction he alluded to the origin OF
man-the monkey-and traced his de-
velopment into the refined and educated
man, as the flower that is taken from
the mountain side to the town and there
cultivated until it becomes thing OF
beauty.
The distinguished gentleman then
made plain to the audience that there
was a woman in every question; that
she was the first in the Garden OF Eden,
and since in all stages Of life. He spoke
particularly of the woman OF the future.
Not the coarse, uneducated woman, but
the educated and refined woman; not
the equal Of man physically, but the
peer of man mentally and spiritually.
He spoke pointedly Of the prejudiced
man-the meanest man on earth-so
prejudced against women that she
must stand back and not advance. The
education of women and the cO-educa-
tion of the sexes was an interesting
point in his lecture.
MIDDLE CLASS EXERCISES.
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock there
assembled in Normal Hall an attentive
audience to listen to the Middle Class
exercises-class of '92.
The programme for the morning
opened with music, which was well re
cevej Then followed the biography
of the class, by Virgil l. Allen. The
biography of his classmates was very
well written and very amusing
containing many happenings during the
past term.
Next came a recitation, 1.-The Hero
Woman" by Miss Nettie McAllister.
Miss McAllster has a pleasant voice,
and rected with much feeling, putting
her whole soul into her subject.
Following this were the class poets,
r. b. Smith and BERTHE Hall, each read
ing poem descriptive Of the doings Of
the members of the class.
A vocal solo by j. Stalnaker and ID.
L. Stanaker was pleasant feature Of
the morning exercises.
Mr.. Guy Crook then followed with an
Grafton, 1.-THE Thinking Man" We
cannot but show favor here. Mr.. Crook
presents fine appearance, and is an
interesting and pleasant speaker. His

S1tciGI Correspondence of tie Register.
MoRGANTowN, w. VA, June 9.-The
details of the trouble into which DR..
Hartigan'S entire physiology class,
through the cheating of one, and pos
Sibly more students at last Wednesdays
final examination, got itself, are now
made public for the first time. The
President of the University received
intimatiOn after the examination that
some unfairneSS had been practiced by
certain students, and in order to get at
the bottom of the matter the whole
class was brought before the faculty
and put through rigid croSS-eXamina-
tiOn last Saturday and Monday, the re-
suit of which was the suspension of one
of the students who at first denied his
guilt, and when faced by number of
witnesses, said that he no longer con-
sidered himself a student of the Uni
verSity and therefore refused to answer
any questions. This was considered by
the faculty as lacit acknowledgement
of guilt and the student was therefore
suspended.
More trouble arose from the fact that
Or. Harugan reported among others,
Two of the senior class to have failed to
pass his examination. The question
then arose as to whether these seniors
should be given their diplomas under
the circumstances. A claim was put in
by these seniors that they had been
treated unfairly by the professor in
this examination. DR.. Hartigan de-
manded that since he had been accused
of unfairneSS, proof be produced in 4
court of law, or that the charge be
withdrawn. The latter expedient was
adopted by the students. After a
thorough consideration of the matter
a vote was taken as to whether
these students be graduated or not,
resulting in favor the seniors. The
position taken by the faculty was that
as these students stood high in all the
rest Of their classes that slight failure
on their part to pass one examination
should not debar them from graduating.
The affair caused great deal of talk,
and has been the absorbing source of
conversation ever since the first devel-
opmentS.

Nervous Indigestion.

The prime cause Of most of the ner-
vous disorders and ailments with which
humanity is afflicted may be traced to
indigestion. The irritable man, the un-
happy woman, the fre;ful child. contrive
to make all around them miserable.
They dose themselves for nervousness.
and perhaps find temporary relief. only
to grow more nervous when the inevi-
table reaction comes. 1t is in such cases
that S SIS. gives almost immediate re-
lief. 1t build up the entire system, puri-
fies the blood, gives tone Il the digestive
organs, restores the functions OF the
stomach, gives activity to the liver, and
puts all the nerves in tune with health
and good humor. 1t is natures great
remedy, and never fails to give relief.
