NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind, March r.
The million-dollar endowment which was
alleged to have been placed with the North
Manchester College by C. E. Kriebel has
vanished and the college, which, few
months ago, gave promise of developing
into a first-class university, is rapidly going
to pieces. To-day the business department,
which has been in charge of r. A. Spell
man, suspended and that gentleman viii ac-

several weeks past the musical department
has been hobbling along on three legs, and
it likewise succumbed to the inevitable to-

career, and it is conjectured that the en-

The college has been well stocked with
pianos, organs, printing presses, books and

are now wondering where the pay is to come
from. In some instances the goods can be
reclaimed. but in a badly used condition.
Every train to-uay has borne away many

within a short time nothing will remain,

Simplicity In Dining.


At a dinner lately given. in one of the

her consideration in not OBTAINING them at

which were added heartfelt assurances that

been likely to sit down at home. Every

The average waist of women is now
twenty-four inches against nineteen inches
five years ago. This development IL not at
tributed to the dress reformer, but TO Sarah
Bernhard. The people who invent new
cotumes have been inspired by the grace
and beauty of Sarahs clothes. These are
copied for their customers. 1t is impossible
to wear these costumes with corsets. Hence
the waist has it's chance. Nine. Dieulefoy,
the wife of the French explorer, who has
permission of the French government to
wear mems clothes, has recently had a
to her for an expert opinion. She held
them up by the fingers and commented
on them scornfully. That they were ugly.
formless and inartistic outweighed any
advantage they might possess. Either
women's clothes or mems there is no mid
die ground. Mems clothes, looking at her
own smart coat and trousers she commended
were the last expression in dress Women
Supersede them.

TEMPERANCE TEXTBOOKS.
An objection Raised That Their

One positive objection to these proposed

of whisky and tobacco is frightfully or at

is dangerous, because with many there is
reason to fear the bounds of moderation
will be exceeded, and because it is inn

is moderation. In the case of smoking, also,

would not be tolerated by those who have
pushed through the laws requiring what is
called temperance instruction, but what Is,
in fact irrational and bigoted prohibition.
The idea of a school physiology written to
show what is not true in order to scare
infants from an early career of drunken
ness is atrocious. 1t prevents every princi-

GRESHAM IS SORRY

LONDON, March 7.-Sir Richard Webster,
of the British counsel before the Boring sea
tribunal of arbitration, in the House of
Commons. to-day, questioned the govern
ment in regard to the negotiations for
settlement with the United States of the
British sealers' claims for seizure prior to
the arbitration proceedings. He said the
award of the tribunal was adverse to the
United States, the only point unset
tied being the amount of compensation, and
Canada had agreed to the sum she was
willing to accept in full payment of her
claims He asked whether. in view of the
great and growing discomfort in Canada.
the government proposed to take any, and
II so what, steps to settle the dispute other
than by obtaining the payment by the
United States of the agreed amount, or, if
necessary, by arbitration
In addition, Sir George Baden-Powel, NJ.
p, also one of the British commissioners,
asked what conditions were attached to the
agreement to enable the award to be car
ried out in the event of any failure on the
part of the United States Congress to APP
propriate the necessary moneys and in the
event of the United States government not
being IN position to pay the same for
some time to come whether her Majestys
government would take steps to advance
said sum to the sealers, many of whom
were in serious want.
Replying to these questions Sir Edward
Merry said Canada has agreed to accept

resume these negotiations was conditionally
reserved. When the House of Representa-
tives rejected the proposed appropriation
the British government instructed Sir Jul

ton of the negotiations on the United States
Secretary of State. The latter said he was

diately. convention, however, when
signed, would have to be submitted to Con-

session Of Congress was called that could
not be done until December next. No repre-

Canada on the subject of the refusal of the
American Congress to agree to the appro-
priation. He said Secretary Gresham had
expressed deep regret at the unfortunate
the obligations of the United States.

four Senators, the Senate roll call on the

Republican Senators who voted to retain
Cain. The majority report of the Senate

cratic engineer and the removal of the
Democratic custodian, while the minority

thus Cain was allowed to stay, in spite of

The seven Republican Senators who voted
to continue Cain in his position are as fol-

resentatives in their denunciation thought
