TOO late. the management of the Midwlnter
Fair might attempt scenic creations OF tne

with their cathedrals, high irregular oulld-

centric carvings and signs. are admiralty

The university regents have under con-
sideration proposal of the committee on
internal administration that fees be
charged students for the facilities of the
laboratories, namely S25 term for that
OF chemistry and mining, and S15 for those
of agriculture and physics. There are
many poor students who can Ill afford, and
same who cannot afford. to pay these
terms. 1t is true they are to be permitted
to make payment in work, but II the work
is eXacting and takes any considerable
time from study 1t Is dear method or
paying fees. since IL must eramp the
student in his studies. The precise need
which has an accumulated endowment
fund of 81, ,S95, ,899 all invested at good in
terest. 1t may be that the suggestion OF
obtaining payment in fees and work is
intended to protect the university
against carelessness in the use OF the
laboratories. but this protection could also
be secured by fines and strict enforce
ment of regulations. Fees cannot be popu-
lar in the departments OF scientific in-
struction.
The Austrans are giving the suffrage to
any one properly fulfilling his duties as
citizen. The Belgians compel man to
vote. so that he may properly discharge
his duties whatever be his ability. If
logic is to control Austrian elections vot-
Ing may be scant, unless the duties are
very light and not irksome. But the Bel
gians are likely by compulsion to train
citizens properly to the exercise of their
electoral functions and the state should
thus acquire broader base OF content
ment.
The Astor steam yacht Nourmahal yes
terday gave its society passengers the
luxury of collision with Hudson River
railroad ferry-boat, which was doubtless
mere pastime compared with the ferry
boat fitting into the Nourmahaps broad
side. The yachts blow was eased off
considerably by the upper works or the
ferry steamer, and no staving was caused
below the water-lne. The wonder Is that
more of these encounters have not oc-
Cured this week, broad az tie Hudson
and East rivers are, on account OF the vigil
liant and Valkyrie excitement.
The drama on the Oakland shore par
took of a variety entertainment yester-
day Judge Henshaw vacated his own
injunction restraining meddling with the
railroad company's piles, and then pile
extractor was got to work yesterday morn
ing clearing away the distractions to the
navigable waters. At one time it is said
the company was driving piles at one end
and Oakland's agents were pulling them
up at the other. A few photographs of
the piling at low and high tide had better
be taken for the information OF courts and
