NEW YORK, Oct 23.=Dr. Charles A

a way of scaling sins for which no war

il, it is all right; but If the other prac-
tees 1t, Ostracism invariably follows.
Men can do as they choose on this score
with women for whom they have no
spect: but with woman it is different"
He continued: Society says there are
several objectionable sins They say it
is IA crime for woman to transgress the
seventh commandment. but it Is not 50
for a man. One of the great trou-
bles when a woman wishes to lead
a better life is that she does not receive

ers were named tale and claimed to be
the descendants of the founder Of the
university. They come from Walling

Il IS said that a commercial traveller,
while in Wisconsin became acquainted
with a family named Yale in that state,
and informed that family that Elihu
u ale died possessed of about 100000,

in trust for the heirs. who had never APP
peared to claim the property.
The Wisconsin family have relatives

is No Truth in War Re ports
WAsHINGTON, Oct 23.-Minister Ar
riaga, the Guatemalan minister, does not
credit the dispatches from Oaxaca, Mex
leo. that war Is impending between Mexi-
co and Guatemala. and that the latter
country has sent large force of troops
to meet several thousand Mexican troops
at Acapulco and Tehuantepec.
Senior Arriaga says he would
be quickly advised by his govern
ment if any such warlike step had
been taken and he has received nothing
TO show that such q move had been made
or was contemplated
The boundary question, which is being
negotiated between Mexico and Guate-
mala, is no more, says the minister. than
the boundary between Mexico and the
United States. and that it has not at any
time reached a serious phase which
would warrant the reports of war.

representing all its departments and the
corporation appointed about a year ago
to revise the exercises Of commence
ment day. have reported, and many
changes have been recommended and
adopted
The programme of exercises have
been drawn up to a certain extent mod
eled after the Oxford commemoration.
The only speaking will be an address by
the president on the condition and pro
gress of the university. This Will be in
English, but will not supersede the slmI-
lar address at the alumni dinner
The candidates for a degree are all
required to be present A new officer
will be introduced, called the Orator"
who Will perform the same duties as a
similar dignitary does at Oxford. 1t will
be his place to Introduce the various can
didates to the president The candidates
for honorary degrees will have their quail
locations for the honor pat before the
faculty and president by this officer,
after which the customary 3'prO aucrori-
tate mihi commissa" will follow from the
president.
This officer is a resurrection of a
former one at Yale. His place was form
erly filled by the senior tutor, who pre-
scented the seniors to the president for
degrees The formula was somewhat
quaint and was entirely in Latin The
valedictory and the salutatorY address,
together with all other speaking, will be
abandoned.

LARGER MEXICAN TRADE.
The Wilson Bill has Given Great
StimuIus to Exporting.

Stimulus to Exporting
WASHINGTON, Oct 23=In a report to
the department of state United States
Consul German at AIaraInoras says the
effect of the new American tariff il being
felt in increased trade with northern
Mexico. Large expectations of dressed
hides mules, horses. etc, has been added
to the usual exports heretofore made,
and the prospects of large spring busI-
ness are most cheering.
Under the operation of the Mckinley
act all live stock ceased TO be exported,
the tariff on horses and mules being $50
each, from two TO three times the selling
value of the animals IN Mexico. This
amounted to total prohibition and until
Sept 1 not a live animal of any kind had
been exported Large expectations of
dressed hides and leather show another
feature that shares the benefit of the
Wilson schedule.
