BARNARD COLLEGE NEEDS MONEY.
At Least $500. 900 Must De Raised to
seeure n 500. 900 Donation.


At Least $500. 900 Must De Raised to
Secure n $1,000 Donation.
The generous donor Of $4,000 for build
ing hall for Barnard college has shown n
hearty Interest in the development OF won
ans education which ought to lind emula
tors in a city like New York. There must
be imitators of this generosity or else even
the fruit Of this donation will be lost.
Among the conditions with which the
anonymous donor accompanies this offer
ing there is one that site for the building
shall be procured within 100 feet Of Co
lumbiA college. When Columbia, in a
few years, moves TO it's new quarters out
Bloomingdale way. Barnard college must
have its site there.
Now Ia the time to buy the site. Ter
building lots will be sufficient. The prics
Of these lots now ought TO be about S15, 600
II Barnard college is to have Sl00.000
building on site OF its own the college
ought to he endowed This would need
about 5000
This is pretty clear, but it is not bit
more clear than that Barnard has no
money at all II these steps are to he
taken for perpetuating work so exclu
sively for woman's advancement. some
generous friends Of the cause will have to
go down in their pocketbools.
There are plenty OF rich women in New
York. Some of them, it is hoped, have
faith enough in this woman's college TO
make it handsome donation.
There are men who heartily believe in
the cause of higher education for women
and who are in condition to back their
views by money contributions. Money
certainly tells in this case Of Barnard col
lege.
Newnham and Girton are thriving WON
ems colleges in England. Isn't New York
just as capable of supporting college'
Barnard has made fine start, The plucSy
women who put it on foot went heroically
to work with large margin Of trust and
very small one of cash. 1t opened with
seven students Next years freshman
class numbers already forty-fve. By the
time they get their college built there will
be at least 300 women on its rolls.
Here, then, is the opportunity for the
friend of woman, whether that friend he
man or woman. The donation of 100000
should not be ineligible because there is
not generous enough interest in woman's
higher education to supply the money for
the site of the college.
Four years is the term in which the con-
ditions must be fulfilled. If Barnard hasn't
her site then, why, technically at least
she loses her claim to this large donation
Women often give large sums to mems
colleges. Let sor..e of the rich champions
of their sex come forward now and give
Barnard college IL good, strong boost on it's
way. The students receive the same
degrees that the Columbia boys do, so here
there is perfect equality of the sexes. Up
till now Barnard has paid its way without
any strong bid for public assistance.
But at this iuncture she has got to have
help, or the good that has been done and
the good that is promised will be lost

Italy.s New Prime Minister.

Signor Giovanni Giolitti, the new Ital-
ian premier, is said to be the youngest
head of ministry that Italy has had
since Cayour. He is barely fifty years
of age, and has only been in parliament
ten years. In the caricatures of him in
The Don Chisciotte he used to be rep
resented, owing to his being one of the
tallest Of the deputies, by what might
be called hop pole clad in long over
coat and very high silk hat. When he
was twenty-five he took his degree of
doctor of law, and in 1873, when Signor
Depretis was in power, he had become
director of customs. Signor Crispi made
him minister of the treasury in March,
1889, and in November, 1890, minister
of finance. A month later Signor Clio
litti resigned, owing to difference with
the minister of public works, whose ex-
penditure he wished to cut down. He
then helped to bring about the fall Of
the Crispi cabinet. Signor Giolitti is
the leader of the Piedmontese group of
the left center.-London News.

Belief in witchcraft is still found
among the people in many countries.
The wife Of a rich farmer in Styria,
Austria, had been paralyzed for years,
and the medical men gave her up as
hopeless. The farmer lately applied to
q soothsayer, who looked into the mat
ter and pronounced the patient to be be-
witched. She pointed out another
farmer who had also been sick for years
as the wizard, and prescribed that an
old pair of pants of the man and few
drops Of his blood must be placed over q
dull fire and slowly burned. The pa
tient mast be held over this smoldering
FIRE and thoroughly fumigated, after
which she would recover. The pants
were obtained and the old sick man one
evening, when stepping into the door
way of his hut to get breath of fresh
air, was attacked and thrown down on
his face to make his nose and mouth
bleed.
The blood was carefully scraped up
from the ground and the fumigation
made, but of course without the prom
ised effect of curing the woman. The
old man was terribly shaken and has
died since, whether as result of the
outrage committed against him is not
reported. At Velilla, Spain, farmer
was sick. His son went to the only
woman in the village that enjoyed the
reputation of being a witch and de-
manded of her to restore his father to
health. When a few days later his
father had not improved he went and
shot both the socalled witch and her
husband dead.--Chicago Herald.

Sheen from Persia.

Thirteen sheep and three lambs are on
their way consigned to the agricultural
department at Washington fact that
presents considerable interest for the
agriculturally minded, They were ship
ped from Persia, and an attempt is to
be made to introduce their breeding into
this country.
These sheep are said to be noted for
the beauty and richness of their skins,
which are the purest astrakhan. AS a
warm climate is necessary for their ex-
istence, at least for the present, they
will probably be sent to southern Cali
fornia or to some other warm climate,
where their value and adaptability to
this country can be determiDed.-Wor-

A Hardy Carp,

Carp are known to be hard to kill, but
one sent to Pendieton from Portland, Or,
the other day beats the record. 1t had
travelled all the way from Portland on ice,
and there were bruises on its head, show
ing that an attempt had been made there
to take it's life; but when the box was
opened this fresh fish" was found to be
moving around as though accustomed to
such trif1es. 1t was placed in a tub of fresh
water and soon revived, swimming about
in a lively fashion. 1t is hard to believe
that any fish could live out of it's element
fora journey of 231 miles, but such is stated
to be the case. EXCHANGE.

Reciprocity And Trade.

1--WE point to the success of the Re-
publican policy Of reciprocity" say the
Republican brethren, "under which
our export trade has vastly increased
and new and enlarged markets have
been opened for the products Of our
farms and workshops"
1t would perhaps be too much to ask
the Republican brethren to introduce
a detail statement into their platform,
but 1t Is entirely fair to ask them to
substantiate the above general state
ment in the columns of their party
organs. The Herald takes pleasure In
directing their attention to an official
source of information, and in render
ing further assistance by setting forth
the substance of the information.
Every month Col. S. G.. Brock, chief
of the treasury bureau OF statistics and
Republican in whom is no mugwump-
cry, publishes summary statement of
imports and exports for certain periods,
with other statistical compilations Of
more or less interest. In the latest of
these publications, at page 80, is table
headed "Reciprocity Trade,n which
shows the value of this trade with the
different Latin-American countries
since the reciprocity arrangement went
into affect as compared with the cor
responding periods of the previous
year. The following exhibit of our ex-
ports to those countries Is compiled
from that table:

Fruits Attract Them.

Hosts of unemployed men and others
seeking temporarily to better their con-
dition are flocking to the Delaware pc
ninsula now to pick small fruits for the
markets of Philadelphia and New York.
The fruit growers erect rude sheds in
the open fields, and here the berry pick
ers eat and sleep while the season lasts.
The earnings Of berry pickers are con-
siderably above the average pay Of farm
hands. Later In the season come the
'peach plucks," race of tramps from
all parts Of the northern Atlantic slope,
feared BY the native farmers and hated
as competitors by the negro farm labor
ers.

ELECTRIC LOGON otives for steam Roads

Electric Locomotives Tor steam hoadss
There are signs that one of the most
startling revolutions of the century is
approaching. Steps are being taken in
the northwest toward the laying of an
experimental track on which many
points bearing on the substitution of
electric locomotives for steam locomo-
tives on trunk lines will be determined,
and electrical engineers throughout the
country are on the qui vive for the next
developments. The, three eighty ton
electric locomotives to be used in the
Belt line tunnel, Baltimore, will push a

the days Of papers and clubs. You can
still hear good deal Of news in barber
shop. The average barber is still a talker
from Talkerville. Moliere, the French wit
and drarnatist, loafed a good deal in bar
Der shops and picked up good things. Gil
Bias was a barber. So was Figaro, Of
Spain, and the opera, '.The Barber of Se-
