THE CENTURY MARK.
A NUMBER OF AMERICAN COLLEGES
HAVE PASSED 1T.

Now Bowdoin Is Preparing to Celebrate
Its Centennial History of That vener-
able Institution-Its Present President.
Many Famous Graduates.
If ancient and historic surroundings are
aids to scholarship, our American educa-
tors may felicitate themselves that many
of our eastern institutions of learning are
acquiring the mcllowness of age More
than a score Of American colleges have al
ready passed the century mark. Only
few months ago Williams college celebrated
Its centennial, and now Bowdoin is pre-
pairing to observe with proper ceremonies
its one hundredth anniversary. BowdOin
was the first college in Maine The prof
ect of establishing a college there had
been under discussion prior to the Revolu-
ton, but 1t was not until the year 1888
that actual steps were taken toward it's
foundation. Maine was then and remained
until 1920 a part of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and it was to the legisla-
ture of that state that the association of
ministers and the court of sessions for
Cumberland county applied in 1888 for a
college charter and a grant of lands.
The cEsrtcr was granted June "a, 1894,
together with five townships, as founda-
ton for the college, but it was not until
eight years later that the first building was
erected and the first class admitted. The
institution was named in memory of Gov

NAUTICAL NED.

Stag of q toddling mariner chap,
With wide haring trousers and seilor's cap.
His little warm jacket, with buttons and braid,
Bespeak the bold rover to run a blockade.
No longer mscall him-when all has been said,
His name is not Edward, but Nautical Ned.
A wee little, free little fellow is he,
And yet he's a regular man of the sea.
fIuestion If ever he walked a ships deck
Or felt the salt spray on his cheek or his neck,
And surely those blue eyes never have scanned
The farof horizon of a long looked for land.
What odds if never the sea he has crossed,
In a tub of a boat been rudely tosscd2
He tosses the sea in a tub of his own
While the waves dash high and the women
make moan.
The most wonderful cruiser ever afoat
Is the world. She is truly a marvellous boatl
And sailing out on the sea of time,
SO tempest tossed, to another cline,
IL is sweet to think that such sailors are
AS Nautical Ned, the jolly young tar.
With tie great, good Captain and such as these,
Who cares for the wind swept, stormy seas?

Portable and stylish and suggesting outing
days. Dark blue flannel, serge cheviot and
cloth are the standbys, but some very dis
tinguished blazer suits are made of black
serge, cheviot or cloth. These have either
Elton jackets with soft surah vests or
black india silk blouses with fancy fronts.
Lace and Grape ties, jabots and postiche
vests are WORE with the blazer jacket, as
taste may incli4lo the wearer. Some like
the stiff, pointed pique vest with laundered

THEY v SEWERS.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held at tests
Garden Last Night.

Enthusiastic Meeting Held at tests
Garden Last Night.
A meeting was held at TESTS
garden on South Flores street last
night for the purpose of discussing
the sewerage question, now agitat-
ing the minds of the taxpayers of
San Antonio.
The meeting was called to order
by Hon. Frederick NJ. Hays. The
first to speak was City Attorney
Levy, who made a strong talk for
sewers and was received with deaf
ening applause.
Mr.. Levy was succeeded by Leo
Tarleton. Mr.. Tarleton pointed
out the advantages to be derived
by sewers. He illustrated how the
death rate, especially among
children, is increasing,Caused chief
ly by typhoid fever and typhoid
malaria and stated that the death
rate would be lowered if San Anto-
Mo had sewers. He assured the
assemblage that he has no motive
in advocating sewers excepting for
the public's benefit. He said this
city is badly in need of sewers, and
not until San Antonio is severed
will she be a prosperous town.
Mr. Tarleton was succeeded by
Arthur Gray, orator of the
Central Labor club. There were
about seventy-five members of that
organization present and when
Mr.. Gray faced the audience he
| was met with a volley of hearty
applause. He opened up by say
ing he may not be seen, but will
| endeavor to make himself heard.
And he didn't "josh" when he
| said that. He spoke loud and dis
tinctly and at the end of every SEN
tence was loudly cheered. He said
| his home is in Pittsfield, Mass, and
| he came to San Antonio about two
| years ago. He said Pittstield is a
| town of $4,000 inhabitants and is
| we'll severed and that nearly every
city of that size in the north and
east is the same, while San Anto-
MO, with 10000 population, is so
| far behind the times. He said he
had received a letter from his mo-
ther asking what kind of place
San Antonio is - whether it
had good water, whether the
town is healthy and whether
the place has sewers. He said the
answer he wrote was that the town
had good water and was compare
lively healthy, but had no sewer
age system. He then stated how
he could imagine he sees his moth
er's nose turn up. He said that
fully 800 people leave Pittstield
every season for health and pleas
ure resorts. "Where do they go
to 2" he asked. "Many go to Italy
and travel over Europe for their
pleasure and health" said he. He
said San Antonio could get such
people just as we'll as Italy or any
other place if she had sewers
After Mr.. Gray had finished
there were calls for "Mr. McAllis-
ter" The gentleman, who was
present, arose from his seat and
asked to be excused. He said that
there were better speakers present
than he, but that he is in favor Of
sewers ~"first, last and all the time"
This brought forth applause and
calls were then made for "Graves,"
"Robinson," "Graves," "Robinson."
Some one yelled, "Graves on slaugh-
ter house" Neither gentlemen
responded and the meeting adj
journed.
