Those of the Dental College May Have
to Eat Humble Pie.
At the meeting of the faculty of the
State Dental College last night commit
tee of three, representing the recently sus-
pended unruly Junior students,wa present
to hear the decision of the meeting re-
garding what action should be taken in
reference to the fifty-two insubordinates.
No action was taken and the greatest
secrecy was maintained as to the ultima
tum of the faculty.
From what was gathered after the meet
ing adjourned it is believed that the faculty
stood firmly by DR.. w. R. Sharp and de-
manded that full apology be rendered
DIR. Sharp, with the alternative of expul-
sion for the entire class.
The matter is to be submitted by the
student committee to the full body of re-
calcitrants at class meeting this after
noon.

we're Attack of Cold.
The trial of DR.. West accused of the
murder of Addie Gilmour, has been inter-
rupted by the sudden illness of Judge
Wallace. The veteran jurist has been in
poor health for some time, and the damp
fortnight has brought on a severe cold
which, for the present, prevents him from
appearing at his old place on the bench.
At his request, Judge Murphy adjourned
proceedings in Department 6 until De-
cember 26, when the West case will again
be taken up.

Uniform state Laws.
PRESS,

II 4. not certain that the people OF
all the States are in favor Of uniform
State laws. though the persons agiiatIng
in favor Of that reform assume th'i
such IS the fact. case Is presenter
before our eyes in the decision OF the
South Carolina Constitutional Convention
that there shall be in that state no law
providng for divorcing married couples
,s Il at all likely that New York ana
South Carolina will ever have the same
law on the subject Of divorces? w"
think not. The people Of South caro-
lima have had a training Of their own
on this subject.
Again; There are now forty-four
STATES in the American Union. Each OF
these States has laws Of its own. W.
NAV add that the people OF these seVt-
raj States have preiudices Of their own
I'VE are not willing to change the laws

country-several hundreds Of years
old. That cry voices the sentiments "I
neonle everywhere. They fear chang
or. rather. large number Oi them do.
They are not in favor Of disturbing or
altering the laws which were left to them
by their fathers.
To Offset these conservatives. there are
a good many persons who are always
ready and willing 10 turn the world up
side down" We once neail one OF Nir-
,3nia.s noted Judges say on the bench.
when asked if a certain class Of persons
were no; exempt from jury duty. that he
did not know whether those persons
could plead exemption BY law or not.
"Tbe laws are changed 50 fast he
added. THAT don't know what they are.
But he did know. His answer was
merely his method Of expressing his dis
aprroval Of what he considered the too
frequent chang of the laws. CouserVa-
tism Is good thing. sometimes; ana a
Willingness TO learn is good thing al
al times. In these matters give and
take" must he the motto Of both sides.
We have mentioned the case OF South
Carolina. ana the condition Of public
opinion which has grown up in that state
under the laws against divorce, which
she has had. OF the numerous states
now in the Union, which of them would
BE- In favor OF adopting as a whole the
divorce laws OF any state? So as TO
marriage laws when. If ever, will there
be the same marriage laws I'm all the
States? Is 1t likely that all the States
will ever have the same laws touching
marriage and divorce?
What we have said would apply to laws
providing for taxation and for the distri-
button Of property in case the owners die
intestate Also TO laws touching insol-
vcncy. and TO other laws. 1t will be q
long time before there are uniform State

Pee in Drama.

A fve-act drama based upon Incidents
in the life Of Edgar Allan Poe, and en-
titled Edgar Allan Poe. or the
Raven" was produced for the first time
on any stage in Baltimore Friday night
The drama opens in the house Of MI
Allan in this city, and closes with
street scene in Baltimore, where
poe's lifelong friend. Tony Preston, at
Richmond. discovers III" poet in drugsed
condition and rtviyes him. Intermediate
scenes are laid in the cottage at Foriham'
tie cemetery where Virginia is buried.
and sarret in Baltimore. Mr.. George
Hazleton, n Washington lawyer. IS the
author Of the drama.
From the criticisms az the Baltimore
papers Of lhe literary ana dramatic merits

animation If synopsis ~ the acts, us
Given in one ot those papers. We gather
that there are some strong situations and
some very poetic lines in the production.
The PLAYWRIGHT has. toweved, married
several Of his best scenes by the introduc-
tlou Of coarse characters and the inter
lection Of rude tests and farcic1l sugges-
tons. Indeed by one Of the critics We
are lei 10 infer that these features are
carried to an excess which constitutes
an offence against both good taste and
good sense.
The conclusion We are. therefore, forced
10 is that Mir. Hazleton would better
not have made his effort 10 contribute
10 the Poe revival. Under any conditions
an attempt TO construct a drama on the
life OF Poe would be hazardous. But 10
make that attempt at time when the
poet is more the vogue than ever before
and associate ludicrods incidents with the
unfortunate child Of genius

A Grcnt Chance for Bowler.

Under This heading. the Washington
Post not long ago "poked fun" at Com
missioner Bowler because OF his decision
that the law providing for paying boun-
~ to sugar-makers was unconstitu-
,ionaI The POST does not pretend TO
nnestion the correctness OF Mr. Bow
lcr's decision. but merely attempts to
show that he will have vast amount
Of work on his hands If he undertakes TO
pass upon the constitutionaii;y of all the

things sIys:
I'VE are moved 10 inquire II Mr. Bow
ler Is doing his whole duty to the coun-
try IN permitting the tariff Of 1894 TO
stand as the law OF the land? Is he true
70 himself. TO that lofty sense Of patriotic
duty which impelled him to hold up the
sugar bounty. while he permits warrants
TO issue for the payment OF officials en-
gagged in collecting customs-,a1es laid for
protection?
awe have no doubt that Mr.. Bowler
cave careful attention to the original
Wilson bill. and that he was equally
attentive 10 the 500 amendments-mostly
for protection-which changed the char
acter OF that measure before 1t became n
law. He must, therefore. be fully con-
WINGED that, II the bounty act is uncon-
stitutional. the tariff act is in the same
boat. Being thus convinced. we cannot
understand why he does not hold up that
law by refusing 20 pay the expenses OF
the customs service. II Is true that. In
holding up the customs service, he would
simultaneously hold up the government {;
but what of that? Has he not shown

OF ours)
The clothes that are put on convlcts
are a part Of their punishment Like the
shirt Of Nessus. they burn into the boz
dies and souls OF the criminals the
badness Of their faults, and make them
feel all the time the consequences Of
them. SO. they may be moved to peni-
tence, and be not inclined readily 10
repeat their offences. Moreover. when
they get abroad in their prison-garb they
are at once identified. and either avoid.
ed or taken back TO their lock-ups. Con-
vict clothes are the marks OF outlaws,
and are anything else but honorable.
Nature. or the providence Of God.
rules in the kingdom Of men. And the
police system there Is perfect. There
are little short and sharp punishments
that are inflicted at once; little whips and
heavier scourges that are used on little
law-breakcrs. And there are weightier
punishments and more appalling dooms
that await hardened and persistent Of
tenders. Degrees of crime prepare the
convict OF nature for more lasting and
overwhelming suffering. as they make
for him ways OF pleasantness impossible
In the divine system 20 breach OF law
goes UNPUBLISHED. But the progress or
guilt Is rapid and all-embracing. Little
offences undermine character and con-
sttutions; and away goes the mass at
last.
Nature has prisons. and her terms OF
confinement and her convict clothes. She
will make one offender keep TO his room
for a brief period; another she sends TO
bed without his supper: another she Will
lock up and put OF prison fare, bread of
afiliction. or worse. Ii will not do TO set
down all sick persons as Offenders; but
IL ia hardly too much TO say that nine
tcnths of the sick are law-breakers-more

sequences. They Will none al the coun-
