and the medical school. In general these
courses are adapted to the needs of those who
intend to be teachers in the several subjects.
Several of the more elementary, however,
are intended also to meet the needs OF be-
ginners and may be taken by students in
lieu of the corresponding courses in the
college and the Lawrence Scientific School
and may be counted toward degree
The complete list is as follows: English
two courses: Anglo-Saxon, German, two
courses; French, two courses; history
and art of teaching, psychology, two courses
draughting and descriptive geometry, solid
geometry, trigonometry, engineering, three
courses Typographical surveying, railway
surveying and electrical engineering; ply
sizes, two courses; chemistry, four courses
fundamental principles of chemistry, quail
tative analysis, quantitatiye analysis and
organic chemistry; botany vegetable NOR
phology and physiology and microscopical
anatomy of ph@nogams; geology, four
courses; physical training, two courses;
courses at the Medical School.
Women are admitted to these courses, ex-
cept those in the Medical School, those in
engineering and the two more advanced
courses in geology. In addition to the
above, free lectures on methods of instruc-
tion will be given by teachers in the several
departments represented by the schools.
The students have the advantage of the
College Library, the Museum of Compare
tive Zoology, the Peabody and Semitic
Museums and the meteorological collection.

The Annual Expedition Will Include
the Territory Covered Last Summer.
Special to the Jersey City Neacs.
PRINCETON, March 10, 1S94s-The geo.
graphical expedition sent out by Princeton
University last summer was SO successful in
every way that it has been decided to again
go to the same district the coming season. Mr..
Hatcher, who will have charge of the ex-
pedition this year, has been in the West
since about March /, finishing up work sup
Elementary to that done last summer and
completing arrangements for the start next
June.
He is at present engaged in removing fos-
sils which were located but not taken up last
year.
The headquarters for the coming expedi-
Starting from that point on horseback, its
members will work northward across into
South Dakota for about forty miles to the
same locality that was covered last year.
They will probably spend about three weeks
there, directly east Of the Black Hills. They
then expect to travel through the Hills to
Devils Tower, in Northeastern Wyoming,
where they hope to accomplish some good
work. From Devils Tower they will work
southwark along the western slope of the
Black Hills, where the country is much wild
or, and good deer and antelope shooting is to
be found, and will return to Chadron by way
of Hot Springs and Buffalo Gap.
The work will consist, as last year, mainly
of collecting vertebrate fossils, but CON
siderable attention will also be paid to OBJ
tanning specimens of the animal and plant
life of the region and possibly something
viii be done in the neurological line.
The expedition will start Immediately
after commencement and will be gone about
two months. The camps will be made for
the most part in the Black Hills proper,
where good water is to be found in album
dance.
The number of men is limited to eight and
it is expected that the following will COM
prise the party:-J w. Garrett, Treasurer; !;
H. w. Garrett, W. Moses, J. H. Brooks, D..
@. Brown, P. E. Richards and T. a. Pierson,
from 95; F. 81. Smith, from '94

PoRTUeAIs ACTION SURPRISING
Assisting in the Escape of the In-
surgent Leader Da Cana.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, March 10, 1894 despatch from
Rio de Janeiro confirms yesterdays report
that Admiral da CANA and about seventy
of his officers are on board the Portuguese
warships Mindello and Alfonso de Alb u
querque, which left Rio yesterday after :
noon. No protest or other opposition was
made to the vessels leaving the bay
with the insurgent leader and his
followers on board. While it is not def
nitely known where da CANA and his Off
GERS are to be taken by the Portuguese ships,
it is generally believed thet they will be put
ashore at Montevideo, and it is possible that
they will proceed to Santa Catharina or
Rio Grande do Sui to join the still active in
surgents there.
The success of da CANA and his compan-
ions in getting out of the bay is said to be
very gratifying to their sympathizers in Rio,
who were anxious lest they should in some
way fall into the hands of the Government,
in which event they would, undoubtedly,
have been shot, as the result of speedy trial
by court martial.

BEECHER LIKED FIGHTS.
An Anecdote which illustrates the
Great Preachers Muma a nisIn.

An AmecQ0te w HIGH AllubtTateB SMc
Great Preachers HumanisIn.
ssMr. Beecher, y said one of his parishioners
to him, can't you say a word in condeinna-
tion of the newspapers for reporting these
disgusting prize fights so fully@
mo, can't, for If | did | should be dis
honest. There is bulldog element in every
healthy man, which those who would not
look at prize fight can crafty by reading
about it,
That Beecher's estimate had truth in it is
made plain by the fact that half million
extra copies of the local papers containing
accounts of the Corbett-M Mitchell fight were
sold in New York, and more than one judge,
lawyer, professor and certainly one clergy
man were purchasers.
The theological students at the Yale
Divinity School some twenty years ago
gathered in the chapel one afternoon to hear
one of series of lectures which Mr.. Beecher
was then delivering to them. The hour
passed, and the distinguished preacher came
not. He was in town, for he had been seen
wandering about the campus that morning,
the November gale that was whiStllng
through the elrns blowing his long gray locks
about his face, and Tapping viciously the
broad brim Of his soft felt hat.
A spectacled professor went in search and
found Beecher at his room in the hotel, q
queer smile lighting up his face as he re-
ceived with apology the theologian.
81 didn't realize how time passed, y said he.
"The fact is, after lunch I picked up the
morning paper, and do you know there was
enough old Adam in me to make me read the
story of that prize fight yesterdaya"
The professor looked very grave
ssAh, no reproofs' said Beecher; II war
rant you have read it Also"
The professor looked startled.
ssCome, now, didn't you read it at break
fasta"
'sNo," and then hesitating, he added al
most in whisper, "but | read it before
breakfast, Mr. Beecher; in fact, I got up
early to get the paper, and not finding It
on my doorstep went out to meet the news
boy"
ssWell, said Beecher, ''there isn't man
in the faculty who can condemn you with
out hypocrisy, = and he went at a lively step
across the campus to the lecture room and
delivered that one of his lectures which from
that day to this is deemed the most elegant
and beautiful of them all. philadelphia

Court today and dense mob fought for
admittance into the building When the
court room was jammed those in the cor

brought to court by thirty policemen. The
prisoners were charged with various Of
lenses, most of them with disturbing the
peace and carrying concealed weapons Each
man was arraigned separately.
Beppo Napoleon and Michael Jassaro were
held IN $500 bonds to keep the peace for
three months. They were charged with
interference with officers in the discharge of
their duty and carrying concealed weapons.

day.
Policeman Moffett was SO badly injured

By Gable to the United Press.

By Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, March 49, 1S94.-When the trial
of the action of Mrs. Holland against Sir
Francis Cook, for seduction and breach of
promise of marriage was resumed before
Justice Hawkins in the Queens Bench Divi-
sion of the High Court of Justice today,
counsel for the plaintiff admitted that he
could produce no evidence showing that Sir
Francis Cook had intended to marry the
woman, nor could he show that there had
been binding obligation of any kind on the
part of the defendant.
Counsel for Sir Francis Cook said that his
side was prepared to prove that disgraceful
allegations in the complaint that his client
had promised to marry the plaintiff, and
had procured a criminal operation upon her
were wholly untrue.
After further argument the jury returned
a verdict for the defendant with costs.
