There is a pretty row on hand at
Wesleyan University at Middletown,
Conn, which is a co-educational col
lege, because the faculty has regu-
lated the system OF calling" among
the boys and girls. Heretofore the
young men were allowed to call any
number of times provided chaperon
was to be had. The girls received
their beaux in their dormitory, known
to the students as 1.-The roost." Evil
IDENTITY this privilege was being abused,
for President Raymond took it into
his head to curtail the spooning. He
proposes to do it by means of cards.
The young ladies will have to fill up
blank every Monday morning, giving
the signature Of caller, residence, even
ing desired and hour, while the boys
must bear in mind that the ladies dare
not receive after ten o'clock, and that
cards are not transferable.
No girl is allowed more than three
callers a week, with a different young
man each time. This is to prevent
excessive ''mashes." The girls say
the new order of things is too mean,"
and the boys feel very glum.

was married sought to tighten her
husbands labors by acting as his
amanuensis, but her girlish writing
did not please him, and seeing this she
resolved to initiate his own hand. To
do this she got tracing paper and put
it over some of Mr.. Davis's manuscript
and copied and re-copied them until
by constant and laborious practice
she was able to reproduce them in fac
simile. This accomplishment delight
ed him very much, and thereafter she
was able, not only to serve him very
acceptably as amanuensis, but to I'M
dertake without any aid from him to
answer many letters that came to him.
Very often communications that were
handed her to answer were written,
signature and all, wholly by her, and
IN such excellent imitation Of Mr..
Davis's manuscript that he was hardly
able to tell whether he wrote them or
not.

West Virginia have at last made their
appearance in book form, aud now no
one need wonder why they were 20

An Idaho Ranchman Says He has Changed
His Name and Left the West.
Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
LEWISTON, IDAHO, Jan. 26.-Robert Ray Ham
ilton is alive and in good health This is the
word brought to this place, the county seat of
Nez Perces county, by ranchman named
Sanford.
Robert Ray Hamilton came west last summer,
having bought an interest in ranch and en-
tered into partnership with Mr.. Sargent A
few weeks after Hamilton's arrival it was re-
ported that on September 2 his body was found
by j. o. Green. a SOL of DR.. Norvin Green of
the Western Union Telegraph Company and an
intimate friend of the enc time New York as
said the body looked as if it had been in the
water four or five days. He positively identi-
fed the corpse, however, as we'll as the watch
and papers found OH it.
The remains of the alleged Hamilton we're
not sent east for burial. but were inferred here.
far off from New York city, in which he had
spent all his life. This was said to have been
in accordance with the wishes of the dead man.
Sanford says he got his information about
Robert Ray Hamilton being alive and in good
health from the men who worked on the HAM
ilton-Sargent farm. From their remarks he
cleaned that there was cloud on Hamilton's
career and that he wanted to appear to the
world as dead.
The corpse found was that of a man who verv
much reseinbled Hamilton, and was placed in
the river, and the information was purposely
given ont that Hamilton was dead
The laborers said that several prominent pen-
pie were in the secret. and that Hamilton was
still living and that he had gone to Australia or
to Alaska under an assumed name.

The Experience Of y Half-Breed Who Was
in the Thick of the Fight.
The STAR has received from the Pine Ridge
agency from leila Vespucia, who says he is
half-breed, the following quaint account of his
experiences at Wounded Knee:
An evening of December, $780, was asked by
an officer of the seventh cavalry to carry a tent
and some mail out on Wounded Knee district
for Major Whiteside, who at that time was in
command of part of the same company which
was at that time looking for this man Big Foot.

morning at half-past clock made break for

had gotten about half way--it was only twenty
miles distant from the agency to the scene of
the Zig Foot massacre, which happened after
this time, saw something coming along on
top of n hill about 400 yards from the road.
They were three Indians. They came up to
me and one of them talked with me. but he said
nothing at first to amour. to anything. when
he. all of a sudden, asked me where was going.

few matches, but for the rs cents l could
not do anything for him, not as did not wish

my name. Money is a very hard thing to get
in this country, il You believe me.
Ii was about half an hour or more before
they left. They talked of matters that are not
to any ones benefit, therefore will not men
