TRINITY COLLEGE NOTES.
Prof. Crawford Has Just Received His
Degree From Yale.

Tt is now but little more than three
weeks before the opening of the fall
term. The main building has been put
into condition for the opening. The Inn
will soon go into the hands of the reno
vators. Rooms are being engaged for
next term One old student has just en-
gagged rooms for four new boys. The
lodging capacity of the two buildings on
the grounds is about 240. Besides these
probably fifty more could be accommo-
dated with ease by families living just
around the campus.
Prof. Crawford has just received the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy from
Yale. He had made the two years of
residence required and his friends
thought he would take another year to
write the requisite thesis. This is the
usual method. He, however, wrote his
thesis the past year, thus doubling his
years work. He said nothing of it to his
friends inasmuch as he modestly thought
that he might fail on this thesis
He has not failed. He has just
received a very complimentary letter
from Prof. Ladd congratulating him on
bis success and the President of the
University in announcing the results as
sured him that the degree was conferred
without opposition, objection, or hest
fancy" Dr. Crawford is a Trinity grad
uate and not few alumni of the insti-
tuition will rejoice that he has won such
marked success. All who know him feel
that he is destined to be one - the
greatest educators of the South.
A party of young people left the col

THE TELEPHONE WAR.
Though It's Service Is Free, the Bel
Company Is Not Patronized.

Apropos the telephone rate war now
raging at Winston, N. O., Petersburg,
Va, and other places it may be of inter
est to the public to know the history of
the fight here between the Bell Company
and its rivals. More than a year ago L.
A. Carr, E. G. Lineberry and others con-
ceiyed the idea of establishing an ex-
change here independent of the big Bell
monopoly. They decided on the Harri-
son system and then went to work and
secured pledges from every Bell sub
scriber except two, viz the Western
Union Telegraph Company and the
Southern Express Company, both Of
which concerns were under special con-
tract and not at liberty to deal with the
new concern.
The annual toll charged by the Bell
Company was $48 for business houses
and $36 for residences. The new com
pany put its tolls at $34 and 1874 respec-
lively. Soon after the Harrison Ex-
change was opened the general manager
for the Bell Company located at Raleigh,
came to Durham and promised the peo-
pie of our town that his company would
put in long-distance connection between
Durham and Charlotte by January list,
1895. 1t is now more that seven months
past that date and nothing has been
done toward the fulfllment of that
promise.
The Harrison exchange was bought
out by the Inter State Telephone and Tele-
graph Company several months ago and
continues to flourish. They now have
100 subscribers in the face of the fact
that the Bell people are giving free SER
vice to all who will allow the phones to
remain in their houses except the express
and telegraph companies mentioned
above.
Sometime ago Mr.. Mcclure, general
manager of the Bell Company, came to
Durham, called on the officers of the In
| ter-S State Company, discussed the status
of affairs and asked them if they had
any proposition to make. On being
asked what he meant, he said he
referred to a proposition to either sell
to or buy out the rival company S
exchange. He was then asked what it
was he had to sell and he replied 70 or
more subscribers. He was then asked
what revenue they brought him and he
replied ''none." The home people told
him they had no wish to buy a "Dead
Head" exchange. He then asked the
Inter State people if they would make
any proposition to sell to his company as
there was not room here for both. On
being asked what rates would becharged
if he made the purchase, he said the old
rate of $48 and $50 would be restored.
The Interstate people then said they had
no proposition to make; that they had
guaranteed their patrons lower rates
and proposed to live up to their promises.
Mr.. Mcclure then stated that he had
not been authorized by his people to ask
any questions, but had done SO on his
own account, simply through a desire to
have something practical to recommend
to them. Our people are sticking to the
home company. The particulars of their
interview with Mr.. Mcclure were obtain
ed from the officers themselves Of the
Interstate Company.

Fire Losses Adjusted.

for several days on the damaged stock OF
goods of A. Max, finished their work
this evening, and estimated the loss from
damage to such stock at $14, 402 Max
had a considerable amount of goods
which were totally burned, so it is
about settled that he will be awarded the

New Uses for Peat.

From the Worcester Spy.
German chemists have been experiment
ing with Irish peat, and have secured such
remarkable results that a syndicate has
been formed for the manufacture. on a
commercial scale, of the various products
that may be obtained from Irelands bog
lads. One of these products Is an antisep-
tic wool" for dressing wounds. It pos
sesses absorbent qualities so great that it
will soak up nine times its weight of mois-
ture. The medical department of the
French army has adopted this substitute
for lint, and 1900 Kilograms of 1t were
sent with the expeditionary force to NADIA
gascar. By a different process of chemical
treatment the peat is formed into a ma
terlal from which any article requiring
hardness and durability can be produced.
The German syndicate has now on exhi-
bition in London insulators, axle boxes,
machinery bearings, gun stocks, pianoforte
legs and numerous other things to Illus
trate the possibilities Of this new material.
Peat has been used in this country for
lining refrigerators and cold-storage rooms
and to some extent as covering for steam
pipes, because of Its value as a non-con-
ductor of heat. But by these new German
processes a wide field appears to have been
opened. in which capital and labor may be
profitably employed, and the Irish peat
boys acquire a value hitherto unknown.
One of the largest beds of fine peat in this
country underlies the Great Dismal Swamp
of Virginia. If the experiments of the
German chemists should ultimately result
posits 1t will not be long before some
American chemist determines whether Vir-
ginia peat can be- treated in like manner
and the same products be obtained.

Lack Of Pure Conee in England.

From the Lopdon Daily News.
A writer" in The Lancet laments that
good wholesome, pure coffee, free from
chicory. Is not brought to the notice Of
the public by advertisers as much as tea,
cocoa or chocolate SIS. AS he observes, those
who have Travelled on the continent know
that cup Of excellent coffee can be OBJ
tanned at an almost trifing cost, and know
what an excellent stimulant it is. Why Gt
is asked should this be? and why. on the
other hand, should coffee, even in the
homes of the rich, in this country. be too
often wholly undrinkable? That there is
no difficulty about the making of good
coffee is held to be proved by the fact
that the best is made in the simplest ap-
paratus-a plain earthenware Jug This,
with boiling water and reasonable amount
of berries, freshly ground, is all that is re-
quired. Both the demand and supply of
coffee in this country adds the writer)
are diminishing. but more extended
knowledge of it's value as a stimuant and
as an article of diet would insure it's in
creased use and in due time it's reduced
price"
