THE ARMY OF PEACE.
The Chief Feature of the Line of MarcI Will Be Red and Green Band Wagon Carrying the .sGood Roads" Petition Thousands of Recruits Promised.


 Thousands of Recruits Promised.
 MASsILLON, O., March 20.-From present indications the CoXey army will be ready to march from here next Sunday. But few of his followers have arrived thus far, but every days mail brings letters from Vari- ous parts of the country saying that com panies are being organized and that they will be on hand to join the army.
 CoNey came to town from his farm, and after reading number of encouraging let ters he remarked: "Won't things be lively next week by this time? Do )u know that this theosophy idea is making, d wen derful effect? It is surprising to nole how interested an audience becomes when a'l- dress them on this subject. This feeling will create harmony and ie the only aSSlr- ance of my success in thi1 new undertak- ing. l truly believe this movement is the second coming of Christi
 Will Carry a Band Wagon.
 Extensive preparations are being made at the CoNey farm. \ red and green band wagon, with high platform. will be used from whch to address crowds. ln the center there will be a huge red wheel. with five miles of "good rvads' petitions wound on it. At every s: opping place the assembled multitude, after addresses by browne ana CONeN, Will De invited to climb up and sign their names. After reaching Washington the five miles of pc titiOnS will be unlOaded on congress.
 There are banners with inscriptions ;is follows: Interest Bearing Bonds Feed on Nothing but Gold and Honest Labor." Peace on Earth, Good Will to Man, but Death to the Shylock of Interest on Bonds.' ''We Workingmen Want Work. Not Char ity. How Can We Buy at the Stores With Charity and Cast Off Old Clothes?'
 If there have been any reasonable doubts of CoXey's army really taking the field, they can no longer be entertained ill view of late developments Arrangements for their passage go bravely on. Headquarters have at last been established in Taylor Clay's new block, in this city, and Chief Marshal Carl Browne held an audience with the war correspondents Browne lectured his audience on the sinfulness of persisting in giving the army d military character when it is advertised as "a band of peace"
 Mayor Reed said he had looked very carefully into the matter and was convinc ed that whatever trouble may develop at Pittsburg, where the friends of the move ment apprehend trouble, the start will be made from Massillon decently and in or. der. He says there will not be more than 800 at the outside to make the start.

 Chief of Police Egan is in receipt to-day of unique letter, or rather challenge. It was written on small sheet of ruled paper, torn from some cheap note book.

NTPDEROTS FOLLY AT CORNELL.

Fewer scrioIis injuries than were apprehended
have resulted from the aboIninaDle outrage coh'
mitted by sophomores OF Cornell University Oh
Tuesday night. though il Is rather TOO soon 10
conclude that the students who were prostraleh
have escaped with nothing worse than tempo
rary distress. But the simple fact mat all COLI
cerned directly and indirectly are rejoicing De-
cause only one person was done 10 ueaih Is
striking disclosure Of the real nature OF the
performance The general feeling seems 10 ne
that numerous lives were saved, contrary 10 III
reasonable calculation, by a special Intervention
Of Providence. Certainly no credit Is due 10
those who prepared the chlorine gas pant Ior
they apparently used all the skill they possessed
10 make the apparatus efficient. OF course we
do not mean that they intended TO XIII or pcrma-
nently iniurc anybody, but they seem TO have
deliberately excluded from consideration the
natural consequences Of their trick. They knew
that they were dealing with deadly agent,
hut they chose to assume that it would serve
their purpose to the limit Of safety and then
erratically stop short.
We are DESTROYS not to make this outrage ap-
near worse than 1t really is, nor do we draw
from it any general indictment against college
communities If 1t does not stand altogether
alone among recent acts OF undergraduate folly,
Il certainly is one Of the few exceptions TO the
general rule Of dcccncy and order. The era OF
brutality disguised under the name Of hazing
has almost passed away. Acts which mingled
meanness and cruelty in equal proportions were
very common twenty years ago in American
colleges, and the prevailing sentiment among
the students not only excused but promoted
| them. To-day they are extremely rare. and they
! are condemned by an overwhelming preponder
ance of college opinion One of the great bene-
, fits which the athletic development Of recent
wears has conferred Is disccrned by competent
observers in the almost complete and In large
measure voluntary abandonment of these vu-
gar and brutal traditions. II is the infrequency
OF acts of cruelty and indecency which makes
such violations Of the peace and dignity Of
college life conspicuous
In one respect. however, this Cornell outrage
Is exceptional even among the exceptions. Cen
orally only two or three persons are involved In
an act Of blackguardsm which shames whole
college. The rest Of the students have little or
no sympathy with them. and frequently express
