I.oNpoN, Nov. .s.--Tbc ,isit of the
Grand Duke Sersius ol l,ussia TO the royal
family last week was tie occasion of some
few festivities The only incident of in
tercst TO the public was the attemp, of two
rival railroads to capture His liigbness Mt
Bouogne when en- route to England. The
London, Chatham and Dover managers
sent special boats TO meet the roynl party
and convey them to Dover. Representa-
tives of the Southeastern road succeeded In
boarding the train first, and conducted the
Duke aboard their boat which was about to
leave for Folkcstonc. The agen, of the
Chatham road succeeded In getting aboard,
and informed His Imperial Highncss that
the other boat had been sent expressly by
Her Majesty, the Queen, TO take him to
Dover The royal party disembarked, and
started for the Dover boat.
The Southeastern agents were not To bc
robbed of the royal passenger so easily.
They stopped the now thoroughly bewil-
dercd duke and informed him impressi,cly
that the Queens equerry, with q special
train, was awaiting his arrival in foIke-
stone. Then they took possession of His
llighness and triumphantly escorted him

What an Association oi Chicago Broom
Dealers Is Undertaking.

N,w York, Nov. 2s.--A marked ad-
vance in the price of broom corn, which
seems certain to come almost immediately
affords II striking instance of the lengths To
which u trust or combinations will go in
spite of the economic law of supply and de-
mand The crop this year has been an I'M
mense one. larger by many hundred tons
than that of last year, and yet the Chicago
dealers who practically control the market
have formed combination and obtained "A
corner on the crop.
The dealers of Quincy street Chicago,
who handle nearly ninc-tenths of the whole
outpu, of the United States, are at the bot
tom of the combination, and they intend 10
advance prices IS much rs they can. The
proposed increase is 80 per cent on all
grades, antl notice of an advance to that ea-
tent has been served by an organization OF
broom manufacturers at Milwaukee.
The rise in prices will be felt Immediately
throughout the country and will be a boon
to many retail dealers Of this city who have
large stocks on hand. No one acquainted
with the trade doubts the ability of the
Chicago combine to bring about large ad-
vance in prices. They have large capital
behind them. and similar trust formed
about two years ago managed TO secure an
increase in price of 50 per hundred. The
present prices range from 81 80 to So, ac-
cording TO the quality. Combinations SINH
lar to the one now said to be organized
have sometimes raised prices TO Sl2 a hun

THE FIGHT FOR SP0lLs.
Young Democrats in Kansas to Claim Them
from Cleveland.

ToPEkA, Nov. 2s-While the Republi-
cans were in power in this state there was a
great kick made by the young crowd" Re
publicans because the 'old crowd presisted
in monopolizing all the patronage, The
young crowd became so strong that the
odd crowd" were compelled TO recognize
them in the nominations this year. Now
the Democrats have the patronage there has
been organized the young Democratic
crowd" who propose to contest with the old
fellows for places to be given by Presiden,
Cleveland. A meeting has been called III
Topeka for the near future, and a thorough
organization will be effected. Fully 5oo
prominent young Democrats in the state
are in the scheme. One of the leaders said
today.
The young Democrats are as much en-
titled to recognition from President Cleve'
land as Ex-Governor Click, Judge Martin
and few old fellows who have seemed to
be leaders and dictators. We propose to
present to the President, after his inaugura-
son, our demands, and ask that the active
Young Democrats have u share in the fed
eral patronage. We are for Governor
Click for a cabinet position, if he does not
try to control ali the patronage which be
longs to Kansas. If he does he will find
such protest laid before President Cleve-
l4nd as will open his eyes. II will be SO
strong that the President cannot fail to take
notice of it. Governor Click has already
planned out the marshalship, United States
attorney, pension agency, revenue collect
orship, etc. but We 70 not intend that the
goods shall he deli' red in that way"

! BRrSswGk, Nov. 2s.-The SIX members

| The annual college catalogue for 1928
has just been issued. IL shows an eneourag-
ing state of affairs. The number of students,
including the medical department, is 297
which Is the largest total in the history of
the college. The officers of instruction
now number 20, an increase of two over
last year, DIR. Albert r. Moulton of Phila-
+ deiphIa, lecturer on mental diseases, and
DIR. John +. Thompson of Portland ON the
diseases of woman having been added. The
Winkley Chair of Latin Language and
Literature, recently occupied by Prof Law
ton. is now occupied by Prof. William A.
IIoughton +. j. Farnsworth. 4. NJ, is
now tutor in German and Alfred NJ Merri
man, assistant in Chemistry
The amount at present devoted to schol
arships 10 aid of meritorious students of
small means is the income from $50 900.
The increase in the scholarship fund has
not by any means kept pace with the num-
Der of students, and it is very probable that
ii this condition continues 10 exist new
basis of granting scholarships will have to
be adopted. Where many are now granted
in accordance with the financial needs of
the students, they may have TO be granted
according to merit in scholarship. This is
certainly not a desirable change, but seems
TO be the only solution of the problem. The
number of applications for scholarships
this year exceeds the total number of stu
dents in college six years ago.
The prizes offered now amount in all to
$685. in cash. The scientific collections of
the college have been increased the past
year by the valuable and extensive con-
Geological collection of the late DIR. ID.
Humphreys Storer, IL. D., of Boston, and
formal announcement is made of the large
scientific building to be erected during tire
academic year as u memorial of Mrs. Mary
+. $. Searles.
For the purpose of promoting advanced
work in biology the college has secured the
privileges of a table in the Marine Biologi-
cal Laboratory at Woods Holl, Mass, of
which DIR. c. o. Whitman of the class of
80 is director. Each year a student or
graduate who has shown marked proficiency
in biological work will be given this OPP
portunity for study during the summer
months.
At the meeting of the Maine Pedagogical
Society, to be held at Lewiston next month,
President Hyde will present paper on the
topi,aI method of tpaphinp and Prof Rob
inson will give an address on "The Fresh
man Fit"
The regular catalogue heretofore issued
as triennial has been discontinued as such,
1t is now to be published once in five years.
The last issue appeared in 1889 and the next
will not appear until 1884.

sHE MAY Be INDICTED.
One Of the jupmen ia the Borden Case Is
Persuaded 10 Talk.

Providence, Nov. 2s.--Publie indigna-
ton is at high pitch over the delay in the
grand Jury work in the Lizzie Borden case,
and the hundreds of rumors which have
gained currency since the celebrated mur-
der mystery has been chung up have only
served to further the excitement IN South
ern New England. The common belief is
that there will be no indictment against the
unfortunate woman, but this opinion does
not seem to be founded upon anything that
has developed from the hearing before the
grand jury.
A member of that jury was found in Bris-
tol county. In response 10 some adroit
questioning by ncighbor with whom the
Juror had been on intimate terms for many
years he 'aeaked" sufficient, to show that
the "a witnesses who appeared before them
had uncovered enough in the great my stery
to warrant an indictment. To the question :;
"Why did YOU adjourn then until Decem-
Der / 2" the juror admitted that il was at
the request of Attorney General Pillsbury.
Then he said that the attorney general had
impressed upon the grand jury the neces-
sity of framing an Indictment that would
hold water when presented to the court,
The Juror then said that the law officers
would require all of the ten days for the
purpose of writing the Indictment
Farther the juror said that there would
be no indictment except that against Lizzie
Borden.
