comprehended by precautions taken in time
and the use of close bags of thick paper.
Put away early in the season, after a thor
ough beating and busting, furs will, ninety
nine times out of a hundred. come out in
perfect order, but they must be done before
the moth season begins, else the precaution
avails but little.
In case il is necessary to have them about
late in the season, the danger may be
moved by busting them with very dry salt
and allowing them to remain a few hours
Unless the salt become damp II does
neither furs nor garments any manner OF
HARM and is one OF the most effectual pre-
servatives. Moths do not like salt, and
will not work in garments that are sprin-
kled with il. When perfectly dry IL is un-
likely TO produce any injurious effect what
ever.
Carpets, rugs, draperies, indeed, every
thing of the wool or fur nature, may be
safely packed In this way.
Last year fine rugs and carpets were put
into bags made OF ticking. Before rolling
them up salt was sprinkled through them
and shaken into every portion The bags
were then hung up in a Try attic, and
when they were unpacked in November
they were in the most perfect order. Ii is
unnecessary and wasteful-this destruction
for mothS-about which so mucn is said,
when 10 cents worth OF salt Is sufficient TO
insure the safety of ali of the wool mater
ials in an ordnary-sized house.

topic-what stories of pages turned over

things and more one has seen. Now Lon

what he calls a music chip, and these

but simple little contrivance, the main vir-
tue of il residing in the fact that il keeps
all the leaves of the music apart, so that
the finger may be readily inserted.

HANOVER COLLEGE SENSATION.
Young Women Suspended for Dane
ing and Male Students Rebel.

Young Women Suspended for Dane
ing and Male Students Rebel.
Madison Special in Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, April %.
The students of Hanover College are in
another turmoil. Scarcely had the sensa-
ton Of the Morse-Scarff breach-of-prOmise
suit begun to abate than diminutive panic
broke out, and the students are in open re-
bellion. Yesterday afternoon 1t leaked out
that the college faculty had held meeting
Thursday night. and, as a result of its de-
liberations Miss Helen McElrath. of Car
rollton, KY. member of the senior class.
and Miss Malcolm Connor, of the junior
class, were suspended from the college until
June and that two other fair students were
to receive a public reprimand on Friday
morning. The students rebelled at this.
A meeting at one of the old fraternity
halls was called Several OF the college ora
the students to the proper pitch. and Pc
tition was drawn up demanding the imme,
Connor, and further demanding that the
other young women be saved the humiliation
of a public reprimand. The petitioners went
on to say that unless the faculty accede TO
number would sever their connection with
the institution, and would finish their edu-
cation elsewhere.
Just what the faculty will do has not
been determined. Mr.. McElrath, father of
one of the young women, who is a Carroll
ton lawyer, is now at the village trying TO
fix things up. The students have sent for
the trustees of the college, quite a number
of whom arrived to-day: The cause of all
the trouble is a dance. Not long since the
faculty forbid dancing in any OF the fra
ternity halls. and. to get around this rule,
the students went to Rope Walk. famous
dancing hall several miles from the college,
where they danced last Saturday until mid
night. The faculty was indignant and took
prompt action. Young Paul Scarf, of Bur-
breach
promise by Miss Gertrude Morse, a daugh-
ter Of faculty member, was expelled. He
went to the dance with Miss McElrath.
The most startling circumstances of the
whole affair was President Fishers per-
emptory command that Misses McElrath
and Connor leave the town President Fish
er says that he will not revoke the order,
even if all the students leave and tho COL
lege has to close.

has, it is said, but one request to present
TO Christian preachers, namely, TO refrain
from saying that the Jews crucified Jesus
of Nazareth. 1t was the Romans, not the
Jews, who cruciiied the great NaZarene
teacher. We cannot comply with the re-
quest of the rabbi Though in a certain
sense ii was the Romans who surrendered
Him for crucifixion, and whose soldiers
were present, il was the Jews who called
for Him for the purpose of death, the Jews
who rejOiCed in il, the Jews who taunted
Him in every possible way: ii was the Jews
who laid the plots and paid the money to

to deny it. They did il, of course. as ST.
Peter declares. ignorantly and in unbelief.
If they had understood, st. Paul afiirms,
neither they nor the princes Of this world

COLUMBUS, Ind, April 29.-There is
trouble ahead in this city for Congressman
Cooper. and each day it is more plainly
developing. Saturday night an effort was
made by the local politicians here TO have
a rally and industrial parade and public
speaking. The industrial parade was. how
ever, abandoned by the leaders, and two
hundred persons assembled at the court
house, many of whom were Republicans,
and listened TO short addresses by local
speakers. who begged piteously that Dem
ocrats stand together. Congressman Coop
ers brother was master of ceremonies. but
he did not call on Hon. 2. II. Mccormack
for an address. but introduced Billy
