NO MORE TOBACCO.
Beginning Next Fall Wesleyan Universit
Students Must Abstain.


Students Must Abstain.
DELAWARE. O.. May 3.-Quite a
breeze was created among the 500
students at the annual chapel ex-
ercises of the Ohio Wesleyan university
Thursday evening. President J. W.
Bashford. after giving some point.
ed statistics regarding the use
of tobacco among college students,
said: ''Our faculty, after making
a careful study of the matter, have
decided to ask all our students to dis
continue the use of tobacco, beginning
next fall, and if any tobacco users
come we shall ask them to quit the
habit, and if they do not we will dis
solve partnership necessarily"
The step is radical one, and will
undoubtedly influence the attendance
at Ohio Wesleyan university next year,
Only about fifteen per cent. of Wesley
a MS students use tobacco at present.

A bill is now pending in the New
York legislature to regulate the liquor
traffic in that state. The bill copies the
main features Of the Dow law, which
has been in operation in this state with
the most satisfactory results, for the
past ten years. The annual revenues
to the state have aggregated $2,5OO,OOO
and Scioto county alone enjoys an in
come of at least $15, 900 per annum from
this source. From 1851 to the passing
OF the Dow law, Ohio had on her stat.
ute books a most radical temperance
law. Under its provision the sale OF
intoxicants, to be drunk upon the prem.
ises was absolutely prohibited and its
violation was punishable by heavy
fine. The law was wholly disregarded
and the liquor traffic fourished unre.
strained except by an occasional fine,
usually the outgrowth of some personal
animosity. Since the enactment of the
Dow law the number of places in which
liquors have been sold has been reduced

have secured a revenue which, to say
the least, partically covers the expense
contingent upon the sale of intoxi-
cants AS a temperance measure it has
been far more effective than the radical
prohibition legislation of other states.

Baby Fatally Scaldled,

PORTSMOUTH, O., May 4.-Mamie, the
baby daughter of Anthony Russ, of
Thirteenth street, was fatally scalded
Friday. The mother was preparing
to do the weeks wash, and had placed
tub of boiling water on bench near
the door. She left the spot a moment,
and meantime the little toddler caught
hold of the edge of the tub and tipped
it over on her. The child's screams
brought the mother quickly, but it was
too late. The child was frightfully
burned from the neck down, the flesh
sloughing away in great rolls. 1t will
die

- The one memorial in equatorial Africa
in.which the whole civilized world has
interest is pictured in The Century for
May. This tree beneath which is
buried the heart of DR.. Livingston, and
upon the trunk of which record was
rudely chiseled by one of the great mis-
sionary's native followers. The photo
graph which is reproduced was made by
Mr.. E. ]. Glave, in the course of an ex-
ploration undertaken for The Century
magazine. The tree was found near a
deserted village on the south shore of
Lake Bangweolo, and it towers far above
all the surrounding foliage. The dis
covery of the exact location of this
shrine is of particular interest in view
of the failure of previous efforts to
locate it. Mr.. Glave writes that Mrs.
Bruce-the daughter of Livingstone
and her husband sent out tablet com.
memorative of the explorers death,
which the Belgian officers to whom it
was consigned put up about eight miles
from the tree. Eighteen months before
Mr.. Glave's visit, the tablet was carried
off by the chief OF slave caravan.

Hoke Smith on Free silver.

Washington, July 15 Secretary Hoke
Smith, today, gave out the following
My attention is just called to the pub
lication of a letter written by me Septem-
ber, 1890, to Hon. W. L. Peek, published
at that time in the Atlanta Journal The
Journal was then openly opposing the
subtreasury scheme, and my personal
opposition to it was well understood The
letter clearly excluded the idea of COM
mitting me to all seven propositions it
presented, although it was known did
favor the free coinage of silver. I was
giving, most of my attention to professions
al work at that time and supposed, with
out thorough investigation that the free
coinage of silver would carry the value of
silver bullion coined into dollars to par,
and also to keep silver and gold dollars
upon a parity with equal purchasing
power. Since then have given the sub
ject much more study, and am
thoroughly satisfied that the free. un-
limited and independent coinage of silver
at a ratio of 16 to l, would result in silver
monometallism. have for several years
openly opposed it. -
