The total number of pupils graduating since the founding of the university in 1898 is said to be only 1.o76, and there are 04I alumni living. the eldest of whom is M. NJ. Campbell. A. B.. of North To peka. who was graduated from the uni. versity in the year 1886.
 Fire has played no small part in the colleges history. In 1854 the buildings were swept away by oonfagrAtion. and the same calamity overlook the university in 1888. About ten years ago the legislature ordered half cent tax on the property of the state. and it Is believed that when the privilege expires in 1896 the university will receive a to. tai state fund amounting to nearly $l, 00e. 900.

 Mrs. Daniel Hartman Hastings, wife of the new governor of Pennsylvania, may we'll be called the heroine of the Johnstown food.

She is a brunette of medium height, with dark hair and eyes and charm ing manner that instantly places the most embarrassed visitor at ease. Re- fined, intelligent, we'll educated. am. bitious and tactful and yet thoroughly domestic, she has been helpmeet in- deed to her talented husband.
