STUDENTS IN DISGRACE.
A Hnzine Expedition That Involved the
Insnlfinr, nf Ladies'.

Insulting of Ladies'.
The State Normal Training School in
Cortland, n. Y, has enjoyed since its exist
ence the reputation of being the best in the
State. At present there are twenty-three
students under suspension. They are sons
of the leading residents of the village. The
question as to the business of their suSpen-
sion is one that has placed the local board
and the people of the village at swords
points. Ii came about in this way:
After the lecture on Tuesday evening the
students formed together on the campus and
determined that those who had been favored
as escorts of lady students from the lecture
should MOI enjoy privileg Of which they
had bee IL deprived. They formelthemselves
in a BIO dy and, two by two. marched
down Church street. On the way
down they encountered one of their
brother members who was seeing
lady attendant of tie Normal School
home. They surrounded them, and, calling
the male student to one side, asked whose
company he preferred, the lady's or theirs
Before he had a chance to answer he was
picked up bodily and hurled over a fence.
On the other side of the fence he was re-
Ceyed by other students, who repeated the
question whether he would join their ranks
or continue his way home with the lady. Iu
the meantime the lady had taken flight and
hurried hOmewaFd.
a first the student so roughly handled
was inclined TO rebel, bur on second thought
joined with them in their hazing expedition.
l. aughlng and shouting, tie students con-
tinued on their way to the clearinghouse
where they knew lady students boarded
VINO had been escorted home by the gentle
men students. Six OF these houses were
visited, and in each instance where a lady
student was entertaining one of the oppO-
site sex the latter was called out, tossed
over fence, and requested to join the
hazers or to invite the hazers into the house
of the lady he was visiting.
At one house on Lincoln avenue, that of
G.. W. Davenport, SIX female teachers
boarded. Two male students had accom-
panied this beVy home. In front the haZers
lined up. They held a brief consultation
and appointed committee of three to in
form the gentlemen callers that they were
wanted at the gaze ut once. The ladies
accompanied their gentlemen escorts 10 the
door, and, recognizing the haZing party, in
vited them all in. They declined the iuvi-
tatiOn, and, Selling the two gentlemen who
had been calling, tossed them over the
fence. AS they landed on the other side
they found dozen strong arms waiting to
receive them and douse them into the small
pools Of water that had accumulated. They
were then, as the others had been, given
their choice between falling in line with
the hazlng crowd or returning to their lady
friends. Chagrined and drenche9, they con-
cluded to join the hazers. Thus it went on
all the evening. and it was not until mid
escorted female students home had been
found. Those engaged in this disgraceful
work have all been suspended.-N. Y.

that can be landed anywhere. and we have

Obviously the modern marine has a bet
ter billet than his comrade of forty or fifty
years ago. just in proportion as war be-
comes complicated piece OF machinery by
sea and land, the intrinsic value of the
pieces is enhanced. The marine is no longer
the mere bOdy-guard of the Captain and the
DOGGY of the drunken or disorderly sailor,
just as a naval brigade is now part of a
nations effective. so the marine has gotten
into usefulness on the high seas. The two
services have assimilated. A marine is no
longer a soldier atloat, land-lubber or a
fish out of water. He is unit of a nautical
army.
As long as Americans retain the tradi-
tons Of 1872 there will never be lacking re-
cruits and re-enlistments for the marines.

COLUMBUS.
A Statue of the Disc0yerer to Be
Erected in New York.
It Will Be Placed in Central Park and Is to Be
the Replica of the One in Madrid-To
Be Unveiled in 1893

New York will in few years make q
double atonement for her neglect to have q
fit memorial to Columbus. The Italian resi-
dents have raised a fund for statue of the
great discoverer, and a likeness of him in
bronze is TO be placed In Central Park by
$50 men and women Of this city, acting un-
der the auspices of the New York Genealog-
ical and Biographical Society, says the
Tribune. The bronze statue is to be a
replica of the one by Sunol, the famous
Spanish sculptor. which is in park at
Madrid.
To General James Grant Wilson belongs
the honor of starting the movement to have
the memorial to Columbus. In 1884 General
Wilso was entertained by the King OF
Spain in Madrid. "How is 1t that you have
no great statue of Columbus in your coun-
try?" asked the King. General Wilson could
not explain this omission. The King then
told him of fine statue by Sunol which
had just been placed in q park in the city.

even when there is war talk. 1t follows as
an inference that the lot of the marine diff
fers from that of the policeman. 1t is not
an unhappy one.
At the same time the Marine Corps Is

the regular army. Leaving out the Civil
War, 1t was company of marines. then
under Colonel K. L. Lee of the United
States Army, that battered down John
Browns stronghold at Harper's Ferry in
1859. 1t was a whole brigade of marines
that established the Monroe doctrine at
Aspinwall and Panama in 1885, and thereby
spared the United States, the Colombian
Government, the English Government and
the French Government peck of trouble"
American marines saved the American Con-
sulate and American property the day after
the b0mbardment of Alexandria, Egypt in
1882 And there is something of suspicion
that Commodore InRraham had a marine or
TWO on board in the Martin Kosta affair at
Smyrna. The sight OF a few men with blue
coats and rifles doth make a Commodore
woGdrous bold.
Just now the United States Marine Re-
cruiting Station at 21h Third street is not
doing much business. Naturally the pref
erence is accorded TO the men seeking re-
enlistment. whether from the Marine Corps
or from the regular army. And there are

so far as stature or weight is concerned it
is not difficult for a man to get into the
