lieved he might make an attempt to
usurp the throne.
Massoud Mirzia, who Is enormously
rich is unpopular on account Of his
severity and intolerance. On the
other hand, Muzafar Ed Din, the new
shah is much loved by his people The
discomfort of the Babist sect, upon
which Mirzia Is believed to have
worked. is due to the fact that the late
shah did not allow them to establish
their religion, his refusal to do 50 be
ing based on the representations made,
that it would conflict with the existing
faith OF Persia and split the people
into religious factions. Tho BabiSts

little has been heard Of them for some

Disclosures male by the publication

the Beers when Jameson was male
prisoner continue to be the leading
subject of comment IN the press ana
among people OF all CLASSES. Every
body seems to be awaiting events, and
IL Is believed still more startling de
veIopmcnts are coming. The public
and the newspapt rs, as rule, are
heartily ashamed Of the whole busl-
ness, and are calling for the punish
ment Of Cecil Rhodes and his aHsocl,
ntcs, high and low. The general opin-
ion Is, that the charter Of the South Al
rican company should be revoked and
steps taken to punish those who were
concerned in organizing the raid into
the 1ransvaal II Is recognized on all
sides that Kruger is master of the sit
uaton and that Great Britain VIII

a race war in South Africa.

clothes and refined manners. He is as
much at home in the English language
as his bride is in the French. His
great wealth permits him to keep
fine house in Paris, a castle in SWitZ-
crland and numerous establishments
scattered about Europe His father
has a castle just out of Florence which
is often visited by the count, who is
the only son. His father, who is Count
Auguste de PourtaIes, was present
at the ceremony Monday. The count
is Protestant, which is rather rare
among the nobility of France. This
permitted the ceremony to take place
in a Protestant edtlCe, and the beau
tiful Christ church was selected for the
occasion. AS the bride stood before
the altar she made as charming a pic
ture of femininity as has ever graced
Il marriage scene in this country, for
she has n soft, creamy complexion,
whose effect is heightened by black
hair and deep blue-gray eyes shaded
with eye-IasheS of the type which BY
ron had in mind when in his apos-
trCphc to the maid of Athens he wrote

dainty French beauty than of the Ian
guorous charm Of the southern flower.
Despite her prediction for French
life she has many friends in the So
ciety of Nashville and the south who
regret to see her permanently installed
at the head of a foreign family. The
bride is the only daughter of the late
Captan James p. DgOuillard and Mrs.
Florence Kirkman Drouillard Miss

About year since Mr.. ID. Lubin, CT
Sacramento California, placed at the
disposal OF Professor Richard r. Ely
of the University of Wisconsin, the
sum of $3.50 to be awarded in prizes
Tor essays on The Agricultural De
preston and Its Remedies. 1t was
desired that the facts covering the ag-
ricultural depression should be care
fully and critically examined and pre-
scntcd, that the causes of the depreS-
sion should be discussed and remedies
considered. 1t was expected that Mr..
Lubin's proposed system of bOuntes
on the expectation OF staple agricul-
tural products should receive atten-
ton, although each competitor was
left perfectly free to take any attitude
which he pleased with respect to Mr..
Lu'bin's proposals.
Professor Ely decided to throw open
the competition to all students in Che
state universities of Michigan, Wis
ronsin and Minnesota, and ProfessoH
w. W. FOlwell, of the University of
Minnesota, DR.. c. II. Colley, of the
University Of Michigan, and Professor
William a. Scott, of the University
of Wisconsin, consented to act as
judges, Three prizes were offered,
viz; A first prize of $l25. a second prize
of $75 and third prize of $50.
The time for the delivery of the COM
petitive essays expired January Is,
1896, and the judges have made the for-
lowing awards: the first prize to c. f.
limerick. a graduate student
of the University of Michi-
gan the second prize to w. A. Coutts,
also graduate student of
the University Of Michigan; and the
third prize to d. W. Maloney an u0-
dergraduate OF the University of Wis
consin.

The University of Wisconsin has
done larger work in university ex-
tersion this year than ever before
Last year forty COURSES were delivered
by eleven different pro .essors, in thlr-
ty-one different cities and towns This
year tfty-seven courses of lectures
have been given by nineteen diff
ferent professors, in forty-three differ
ent cities and towns, all in Wisconsin,
except two Chicago and Joliet, lll.)
Milwaukee has had eight courses;
seven other cities have had two
courses each, and thirty-fve towns
have had one course each. course"
consists of six lectures on related sub
jects. The lfty-seven courses of
lectures have been in sixteen different
departments of study. The fact that
the university extension work has
been constantly growing since the be-
ginning of the movement in Wisconsin
is the best evidence that could be de-
sired that university extension is not a
fad, but a permanent addition to the
educational system. Mr. Raymond
the secretary of the university eXlen-
sion department at Madison, believes
next year the university will do a much
larger work even than it has this year,
basing his opinion upon inquiries
which he is already receiving in re-
gard to courses for next year. En-.
gagements are already being made for
lecture courses TO be given next fall
and winter and this is in itself an in
dication of progress, for heretofore the
local centers in Wisconsin have never
made definite arrangements until fall

A Fathers Authority in France.

The father has full and complete au-
thority over them. and demands strict
forms of respect. In France n good son
s%ubordinates the important acts OF his
life to his fathers consent. ever more
than he should in some cases. On the
ether hand. the blind and tender desire
hat all parents, without exception,
have of Keeping their children near
Item. of not letting their sons wander
about the world, o. risk the patrimony
OF their ancestors, has brought about Il
mania for finding employment in gov
eminent offices in preference to embrace
'rg a liberal career. The whole nation
mas the same stay-at-home and eXclu-
sIve tastes. This permits foreigners 10
bring France all that is worst among
them. while Il does not send her sons
TO seek the great and good things there
NAV be in other countries. If a life OF
; erpetual wandering finally becomes
useless and sterile, it is equally true
that it is facilitating and unwholesome

men do not seem to notice this.-Cen'
