Cap and Gown in English Universities,

-
By the regulations of both Oxford and
Cambridge universities, cap and gown are
to be worn after dark, and proctor walks
about the streets in the evening, accom-
panied by four bulldogs" to see the regu-
latiOn is carried out. If he meets a man
whom he thinks may be an undergraduate
without a gown, the bulldogs are mo-
toned to stop the wrongdoer, who is po-
htely requested to give his name and col
lege and fined five shillings next morn
ing.
At Cambridge it is the custom almost
invariably to wear cap and gown at night,
and very sensible custom it is. At Ok
ford it is not so; usually every one but the
"Timid Freshman despises the risk in
CURED and goes without, though some
times for awhile the fashion turns, and it
becomes 1.-THE thing" to be seen in them.
Umbrellas, however, are at Oxford always
permissible when in academical costume,
as caps and gowns are described by the au-
thorities, we here being decidedly more
sensible than our sister varsity, where
they are rigidly debarred.-An Oxford
Man in London Tit-Bits.

Cycling Has It's Disadvantapes

l will be honest and confess that on
every cycle tour there are moments, or
indeed hours, and sometimes days of COM
plete misery, when you would like to pitch
your machine in the nearest ditch or river
and never see it again; the road is afro
cious, the wind blows relentlessly in
your face, the rain drenches you and
your luggage. And then comes the hour
of perfect pleasure. when between the frs
or chestnuts you coast down the noun
tain side, or in the cool of the late after
noon, as the sun sets, you follow the wind
ings of little stream over a good road
and you feel that ior another such interval
-ofdelight you would again gladly put up
with rain and wind and mud.-Elizabeth
r. Pennell in Gentlewoman.

tains. One time stage was stopped on o
mountain road, and Evans and Sontag or
dered the passengers to give accounts of
themselves. They robbed none of them
and allowed the stage and its passengers tC
proceed after being assured that none of
them was a detective. Before their final
capture they wounded four men badly and
killed three.
On Sunday, June 10, 1898, deputy United
States marshal and posse once more sur.
rounded the two men in a cabin near vi
salia. The usual desperate battle followed,
and during it SOntag was wounded so that
he could not move, and Evans so badly that
he could only crawl. When darkness came
on, the bandits still held their position, and
Evans saw Il chance to crawl away. Sontae
begged his companion to kill him before
leaving, but Evans refused. The posse then
captured SoGtag, but Evans escaped. He
managed to reach the house of "A woman hG
believed to be sympathizer, but was thers
betrayed, but even when the officers cant
and Evans was lying in an upper room
shot through both wrists and his right eye
shot out, he made terms for his surrender
by which his wife received part of the large
reward paid to his captors. What Mrs
Evans received under the terms of her
husbands surrender was spent in caring
for the desperately wounded men.
Sontag died, but Evans recovered, anC
more money was required for his defense
Ordinary sources of supply failed, and Mrs
Evans and her daughter Eva finally went
on the stage in lurid melodrama, depict
ing the lawless careers Of Evans and Son
tag They made money that mother anC
daughter, and spent part Of it in Evans de
fense, effectively, too, for he was not sen
fenced to he hanged for his various muir
ders. He was sentenced to life imprison
ment, and the women left their mimicry o
this life to return to their real adventures
and rescue the bandit from Jail, as told il

THE Bonnerport board Of trustees
should proceed with care in all
their acts, but at the same time
they should not allow any outside
influence to bring any discord into
their meetings. The amusing in
cident last Monday night was
Matched in the brain of men whose
chief study is to create discord and
to undermine some one else who is
trying to do something. They
were out to see how the little game
would WORK, and it is creditable
to the board that they set down on
the disturbing element. The board
as a whole are too intelligent and

of their duties to be mislead.

THE GOSSIP.
any more.

The following description of
a gossip, taken from an exchange,
is fair idea of the meddlesome,
tattling mischief makers, and is an
excellent description:
A Shiny, creeping pusillanimous
gossip is one Of the denominations
attached to all small communities.
1t is'a vermine that will breed only
in rural districts and small towns.
1t grows and fattens on idleness
and ignorance, and finally appears
clothed in Gods own image. 1t
causes neighbors to quarrel and
families to separate. 1t. pounces
down upon the innocent and un-
suspecting, ond revels in the suf-
fering of its victims. With its
Shiny, venomous tongue it ticks up
small fragments of sacred conf
dences overheard, and with it's
poisonous silva covers them over
until they grow serpents of deadly
sting. When captured, the gossip
will squirm, vomit until one is
fairly sickened at the disgusting
exhibition.

If man can say no good of the
town in which he lives, he should
at least keep his bazoo closed as to
any of its defects. Nothing hurts a
place so much as for some Of its
citizens to be eternally growing
outloud. Times are hard every
where and few business men are
any more than holding their own.
In most towns they do well to do
that. But nothing is gained by
growing about hard times. The
blues are contagious, and nothing so
retards business as an uncheerful
feeling in community. Business
men especially should keep up a
cheerful, hopeful demeanor and
talk cheerfulness into the public.
The business man is almost an or
acle to a large circle of people in
the community, and they have it
within their power to do much to-
wards restoring confidence, and to
cause people to loosen up and spend
money more freely. 1t is time for
the philosopher Of the anic to rel
egate himself to the rear.

ROBBERS COMMIT MURDER.
Edward Crosby Shot While Protect

ing His Brothers. House.
HAVERHILL, Mass, Aug. IS. 1884,
What was noe of the boldest and most
startling murders committed in New Eng
land for years was committed in the
quiet little hamlet of Merrimac at 1890
this morning.
A little after twelve o'clock Jacob Cros-
by and his family were aroused by a
tremendous noise at the front door of
their house, caused by men who emand-
ed admittance. Mr.. Crosby and his wife
quickly dressing themselves, left the
house by the rear door in search of as
sistance
The dwelling is located a little less than
a mile from the centre of the town, and
is about five rods from the nearest house:
Mrs. Crosby started for the house Of
Edward Crosby, a brother of her hus-
band, and Mr.. Crosby went in the OPP
posite direction.
Mrs. Crosby aroused her brother-in-law
and he started in haste, and ufarfned.
for his brothers house, where he arrived
before Jacob Crosby returned. On reach
ing the house he found that the men
who caused the disturbance had gained
an entrance. ransacked some OF. the rooms
and were about to depart as he came
upon them.
Edward tried to demonstrate with the
men and prevent their departure. In a
scuf1e which followed a shot was fired,
the bullet lodging in Edwards body,
causing instant death.
Assistance was ummoned at once, the
fire bell rung and a searching party or
ganized to search for the men who COM
mitted the crime.
The men wore masks, and it is thought
that the leader of the gang was a man
who had some i'll will against Jacob Cros-
by, whose house was attacked. 1t is
presumed that the object of the men was
plunder, and as Mr.. Crosby has a profit
able business, that they thought there
would be some a of finding money
in the house.
The three d~esperadoes went toward
Haverhill. One man has been arrested
on suspicion.

Fred Lowe and Bertha
Secretly Married In Hoboken.


Secretly Married In Hoboixen.
Hoboken society was set agog last night
by the report that Fred Lowe, a well known
young man living in the "Alice Flats" Hud-
son street, had eloped. The young man, who
is twenty years of age, had been devotediy
attached to a charming school miss named
Bertha Edwards, sweet sixteen. The girl
lives in Bloomfield street. She, too, is well
known in the city. The couple had been seen
promenading the streets of the town until a
week ago, when they were suddenly missed.
No one seemed to know where to find them.
There was on in Hoboken who knew what
had happened them-Pastor Rudolph of the
German Lutheran Church-but he rellg-
iously neglected to tell anybody how they
came to him quietly and he married them.
That was a week ago, it is said. As tie min
lister was not home last night The NEWS re-
porter was unable to learn any of the par
t~iculars.
AS soon as Fred Lowe was missed gossipers'
tongues commenced to wag, and last night
everyone in town was talking about it. Lowe
was a society man in the true sense of the
term. He pulled cigarettes, slipped settler
lemonade and liked to attend clubs. AT his
home last night the report of his marriage
was denied, but it was admitted that Freddie
was not at home. The landlady said he was
in Weehawken. He has a position there as
b~ookkeeper in the stock yards.
