icy, said the Government would consider
the creation of a workmen's provident

In the Chamber Of Deputies the decla-
ration OF Casimir-P Perier Of the Cabinet
policy was warmly applauded. except
from the Socialist benches. The general
discussion, on motion OF NJ. Grousset, for
general amnesty, WAS closed, and the

to discuss the clauses of the motion. 1t
will thus be seen that the new Govern

without foundation. An Armenian jour

to enforce its policy; bat he is to protect

Special HERALD correspondence.
BLooMsBURG March 11-Ata a meeting of
the Board of Trustees of the State Normal
School Of this place it was decided that here
after no lady will lie allowed to graduate in
an elaborate or costly dress, such as is often
seen on graduating occasions
The board believes that many young ladies
are led to expend on their graduating outfit
more money than they can afford to spend,
and that very often the fifty dollars received
from the state at graduation is used for fnery
instead of cquipping the recipient for pro-
fessonal work.
The days of white silk gowns with kid
CATERS, gloves and their accompaniments are
over at the Bloomsbury school,
1t is interesting to note that when the an
nouncement was made to the lady students
of the school it was met with round after
round of applause, which shows the growth
of public sentiment in the right direction.
The trustees Of the school have also de-
cided to place in the dormitory, for the use of
the students hydraulic passenger elevator
of $500 pounds lifting capacity, and of sufTi-
cient size to accommodate twenty-five per-
sons at once.
