EXAMINATION AT YALE.
Ways That Are Dark and Tricks That Are
Not Always Vain

Especial Correspondence.
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 2O.-Twice a year,
in the early part of Decem Der and Of
June visitor on the Yale campus may
see, gathered about the steps of old
Alumni hall, a group Of students anx-
iously awaiting the stroke of the hour
The regular semiannual examinations
are about to begin. The old hall frowns
down grim and silent like a feudal cas-
tie The studious among the students
stand apart in proud self reliance, dis
cussing Greek roots or mathematical III
tricacies in a learned way. Questions
fly thick and fast through the rest of
the group Anxious faces now show an
eagerness to pick up crumbs of infor-
nation which would have made glad
the tutors heart in months gone by.
Some, too, are dealing out knowledge
with a mysterious and cunning air.
The clock strikes. and the doors are
thrown open. Anxiety seems to van
ish for moment, and the crowd pushes
forward with cheers.
Once inside the hall, every desk is
soon taken, and all is quiet. The pro
fessor IN charge is seated on raised
platform, while the watchers pace noise
lessly up and down the aisles. There are
usually five or six of the latter, and their
sharp eyes are everywhere to detect any
attempt at dishonesty The penalties
for such dishonesty are severe-failure
in the examination, suspension or even
expulsion. Ia face Of this it would hard
" seem that cheating would be attempt
ed or could be carried through under
so many eyes, yet 1T Is. Many and in
genious devices are used every year and
seldom detected
It is an easy matter to conceal a close
" written slip in the left hand, and
much information can be carried ia that
way, or the palm of the hand itself is
often written upon. Every year, at Yale
or elsewhere, dates and important facts
are struggled into the hall on the inside
of the cuff or on the edges Of a blotting
pad
The presence of a watch on the desk
excites no suspicion, for time Is limited,
and therefore precious But the circular
piece Of paper, parted neatly IN the
cover. is often much more valuable than
time for the successful issue of an exam
Some sscribs. - as these aids are call
ed, are by no means so simple. One that
has been used several times in New
Haven, to the writer knowledge, was
made Of a long strip Of paper, about the
width Of a newspaper column. and deft-
" fastened to two match sticks, after
the manner of a papyrus roll This
could be easily worked by the move
ment Of the fingers of one hand and ex-
pose only a small portion Of the roll at
one time On one that I saw was full
digest Of q three months lecture course

with the English throne is an interest
ing one. History shows that prior to
1885 the Prince of Wales, who after
ward became George ", was desperate
" IN love with Maria Fitzherbert, a
young widow of wealth, beauty and
good family. The prince was 10, and
she was 90 Mrs. Fitzherbert frowned
upon his suit, well knowing that it
could not end happily for the young
prince and herself. The prince vowed
he would kill himself if she refused to
marry him and even went so far as to
cash himself with a knife. The result
was that the tender hearted widow mar
ried him privately in 1885 As she was
a Catholic the ceremony was performed
by priest and was not legal in Eng
land at the time
The result of this union was a son,
who was placed in charge Of one James
Ord. who called him his nephew and
took him to America. The alleged neph-
ew was named James Ord, and although
he Joined the continental army he aft
erward received numerous gifts from
his mother in England and was watched
by British agents until he died in Oma-
ha at the age of 90. OF his seven chill
dren, the youngest male living is John
s. Ord Of Santa Cruz, Cal, whose sec

Union lineman. When James Ord, the
alleged uncle, died. he left papers show
ing that his 50 called nephew was the
son of George " and Maria Fitzher-
bert. After his marriage to Mrs. Fitz-
herbert Prince George married Princess
Caroline. After her death Mrs. Fitzher-
bert again lived with George, who was
then king, but at length retired to
Brighton, where she died in 1887. 1t is
said that documents proving James
Ord's" legitimacy are now locked up in
COutts' bank in London.
The Western Union prince is "a years
old and a blond, smooth faced, graceful
young man. He seems possessed of IN
usual intelligence for one following the
calling Of a telegraph ineman, and he
believes that one day the papers in
Coutts' bank will be opened. He does
not believe, however, that he Will ever
assist in running the British govern
ment.

CAN'T GET MARRIED At HOME.

q 0ltustloa which h CA1slng Betrothed
Coapass Considerable Annovance.
A young man and . young woman
came over the line from New Brunswick
the other dxy and were married here.
says Calais correspondent of the Bos-
ton Herald. They had no difficulty in
indiag . minister to unite them, al
though they very frankly explained that
they couldn't have got married in their
native place in New Brunswick.
The reason for this seeming anomaly
hes in the fact that Governor Boyd of
New Brunswick is dead, and that every
marriage license must be signed by the
governor to be legal. 1t is true that it
was Governor Boyd's custom, as by
statute he was authorized to do. TO sign
quantities Of these licenses in blank and
to distribute them to the various officers
throughout the province whose business
it is to attend to such things, to be filled
in rs circumstances required.
Now, there is a very fine legal point
involved. The question is whether, dur
ing the interregnum caused by Governor
Boyd's death and until the Dominion
government appoints his successor, these
marriage licenses signed by Governor
Boyd are good. Can they he used until
a new governor is sent down, OF are they
useless rs not bearing the signature Of
the actual governor of the province:
This is what is agitating the minds OF
the New Brunswick lawyers, and es.
pecially of the betrothed couples. They
may indeed adopt the old fashioned
method of calling the banns, but tina,
takes time, and time counts when the
wedding day is set and the invitation:
are ont.
Perhaps they had best do as the afore
mentioned couple did-go to Calais, and
thus make assurance doubly sure.
