The conservative University of Vir-
ginia could not permit woman to at
tend its lectures, observes the New
York Telegram, but it did suffer Miss
Caroline Preston Davis to stand its ex
aminations in mathematics at the close
of the year, and as she passed the
whole course successfully the faculty
bestowed on her the certificate of ex.
cellence and made her practically the
first female graduate ofthe university.
DIR. Thornton gave to the graduating
class the privilege of conveying to her
the honorary diploma and the boys
did it with yell.

When people talk about bad times
the Baltimore American thinks it
would be well for them to remember
that there is about seventeen hundred
million dollars ($1, 700, 900, ,00O) of de-

Savings banks are pretty good financial
thermometers for telling the real con-
dition of the country.

which he developed from the seed of a
native wild grape planted just fifty
years ago.

Chicago Journal, that as soon rs a

graceful art of bicycle riding he must
forthwith attempt to undo the work
by which he was made in the image of
his Maker and seek to transform him
self into a hideous mesozoic dinosaur
or some other uncanny creeping thing?
The head goes down, the back is
bumped, the arms assume the position
of forelegs, and all that is wanting is
a croak to pass for broken backed
frog. There is no excuse for this
abomination. An erect attitude gives
the rider much better command of
the wheel. 1t is merely habit due to
too much pernicious and unhealthy
''scorching." Women who ride wheels

Two Matched Brilliants Worth $500, 900.

AT the Imperial Institute, London,
the Prince of Wales lately inspected
the splendid Mylchreest diamonds, a
pair of magnificent brilliants which
were found in Du Toits pan mine,
Kimberly, South Africa, in 1885, by J.
Mylchreest. Originally the weight of
the stone was 1879! karats, but it was
cleft in two and cut regardless of
weight, so as to ssecure the perfection
of brilliancy. This work, together
with cutting and polishing, was done
in London, and the brilliants are said
to be the finest pair in existence for
it is the opinion of experts that there
is no other pair of brilliants of the
same size cut from the same stone.
They are complete match and their
value is placed at $500, 900. Jewellers

MR.. COLES CITIZENSHIP

The Gazette Saturday morning stated
that p. j. Cole was citizen of Spring.

him at Springfield, Ill.,, and we suppose
that this morning it will be at Spring.
field, Mo.
II the Gazette cared to inform

it would tell its readers that Mr.. Cole
has been citizen OF Phoenix for nearly
two years, that he registered and voted
at the election last fall and that he
voted again at the recent school bond
election, and he is duly registered to
vote at the coming city election.
The tact is the Gazette is hard pushed
for argument. Mr.. Cole is clean man,
a man of energy, integrity and unques-
toned character, and the Doodle candi-
date bears about the same comparison
to him that tallow candle does to the
sun. The Gazette knows it too, and its
only hope to defeat Mr.. Cole is by mis-
representation.

THE LATEST SCHEME.


The Alexander ring is determined to
win by fair means or foul, and the lat
est scheme is to contest the election
providing it goes against them.
To this end the friends OF A. c. Ba-
ker in Washington have been instructed
to push his candidacy for chief Justice
day and night, and to not relax their
efforts until he receives the appoint
ment.
Then when the people snow his faith
er-in.law under for mayor next week,
Judge Alexander will file a contest in
his son.in-law's court and have his op.
ponent ousted.
This is the plan in brief, and while it
lie not likely to work it shows the means
that the Alexander ring is willing to
employ to gain its end. Nothing is sa-
cred with the ring. The courts must
bow to it, public Office must satiate its
greed, and men who will not help it
must be crushed.
That is now and always has been Joe
Alexander's plan, as many good Demo-
Gratis who have been defeated by him
in conventions and at the polls know.

longer than Judge Alexander, and yet

counts in this campaign, as the very
