The Honor System.

10 the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
My attention has just been called to
a communication from Princeton, NJ
published in the Ecening Post, of New
York, in its issue of January 18th,
claiming for Princeton College the
credit of being the first institution Of
learning in this country to adopt the
"honor system" 10 the conduct ofex-
aminations, having only inaugurated
the system about three years ago.
This statement is entirely incorrect, as
the University of Virginia, founded by
Thomas Jefferson in 1925, has never had
any other system, and any "breach OF
faith on the part of q student would re-
suit land in fact has resulted) in his
being driven from college by the force
of public opinion
a distinguished professor in Colum-
bia College, Of New York, formerly
professor in the University of Vir-
ginia, endeavored several years ago to
have the "honor system" established in
that institution, but without success.
I write this letter for the purpose of
correcting a misstatement made, no
doubt, simply through ignorance of the
facts 10 the case, in order that the pub
lie may know that our university was
the first institution to establish the
"honor SYSTEM" and that it has worked
there successfully for nearly three
quarters of a century. k.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The speech deliv-
cred bv Prime Minister Salisbury last
night was very Disappointing Tor tne
reason that he gave no indication tnaI
he was doing anything to settle tne
trouble with the United States and also
for the reason that his statement snow
ed little, if any, hope of the BRUSH
government doing anything to mltl-
cate the evils in Armenia. Lord SAILS
bury's vague acceptance in his speech
last night of the Monroe doctrine as
President Monroe understood it, dlssp-
points the country, which is waiting Tor
a more explicit definition of the gov
elnment's attitude.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The United Press
correspondent at Constantinople, tele'
graphing under the date of January
3lst, says the government has forbid
den the circulation in Turkey of the
English newspapers of January 9th,
which contain dispatches from
Washington giving the United States
Senate resolutions regarding the
condition of affairs in America,
and also q report of the speech deliver
ed at Birmingham, on the night OF jan
uary 25th by Right Hon. Joseph Cham
berIain, Secretary of State for the
Colonies, 10 which Mr.. Chamberlain
declared that the condition of Armenia
was danger and Disgrace to Europe.
The correspondent also says that the
Russian consul who has reached Zeitoun
has reported that hundreds of the Ar

The St. Paul Resists all Efforts.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The wreckers
at work on the stranded steamship st.
Paul at Long Branch were doomed to
disappointment again this morning.
The east wind which they had been
whistling for had come, but the sea was
calm and the big ship still resisted all
efforts to get her off the beach. About
an hour and a-half before high tide, two
tugboats began hauling on the dis
nbled vessel. They pulled and tugged
Oh the stern of the st. Paul but she
stuck fast. The wreckers hope that
the easterly wind will freshen up before
the day is over and cause the sea to
roll, which will greatly facilitate their
efforts.
SANDY Hook, N. j., Feb. 1.-The
Monmouth Beach Life Saving Station
reports that the work of hauling on the
st. Paul was stopped at Ga. m. at that
time the wreckers had succeeded in
moving her only about eleven feet.
Another attempt will be made to get
the steamer off at the next high tide
which occurs about $50 tonight.

THE FRENCH BALL.

Picture an immense hall covering al
most New York city block, in the
center of which is a floor occupying
about one-half of the space of the en-
tire building, and surrounded by tiers
of seats on three sides and overlooked
by series of boxes on either end. This
hall is jetted at every accessible point
with electric lights, some of them ar
ranged with an artistic regard to effect
in illumination. Two bands of music
play alternately, and the buzz Of con-
versatiop and the popping of corks
make up the interlude. About ten
thousand people, men and women, are
within this hall, all engaged in making
fun and furnishing a spectacle. The
women are in all sorts of costume,
from tights to ball dresses, and few
of the men wear masks, as robbers and
highwayinen are popularity supposed to
do. At first the conversation Is like
the buzzing of bees, but later on, when
the wine flows, it grows into something
resembling the roar of tumbling waters.
Upon the floor the French tongue is
heard, but the majority of those who
attend New York's French ball find
Epglisb more handy. A girl whose
costume is too brief for description
throws her heels into the tobaceo-laden
air, and is at once surrounded by a
crowd of meu and women. Another
follows, and another group gathers
upon another part of the floor. In the
boxes the empty wine bottles accumu-
late, and now and then arguments are
brought to conclusions by scraps, which
the police succeed 10 quelling. The
late stayers finally desert the boxes
and seats, and join the dancers upon
the floor. Now and again the blue
coated peacemaker steps in to put s re-
straining hand upon painted woman.
There is color and there is noise and
there is gayety. One French ball diff
fers from another in degree, but they
are usually much alike. The annual
event took place in Madison Square
Garden last night.

THE ELECTION BILL.

The Senate committee on privileges
has decided to report the Hay, Hale
and Flanagan election bills, with the
recommendation that they do not pass.
The committee has practically decided
upon q substitute for the STUDIOS bill.
The substitute is re-enactment OF
the Walton law, with number OF
amendments. The most significant OF
these require the tickets to be printed
in plain Roman type; that the voter
when in the booth be out of hearing as
well as observation of the judges and
the clerk, and the appointment of the
special constables by the county courts,
and at least ten days before an cleo
ton; that the constable shall not enter
a booth unless requested by the voter,
and shall not divulge by sign or other
wise the manner in which any person
has voted.
The most important provision con-
tanned in the substitute is that which
requires that in county and city cleo
tons when there are no party nomina
IlOuS tue opcia,lO''o VI WY -
Mccormick law only shall apply. This
change is proposed TO be made in defer
ence to the demand of the voters of the
Valley and the Southwest. These sec
tions have made the greatest COM
plants against the Walton law, espec-
tally in lis effect upon their local con-
tests.
Another change proposed is to re-
quire that the special constables shall be
appointed by county judges, instead oil
electoral boards. Permission is also
made in the resolution for voting for
Presidential electors, which was omit
ted in the Walton law. The other
amendments are intended to remedy
defects in the existing law. None,
however. are significant.

ADDRESS BY GENERAL FITzHUGH
LEE.-Ata recent meeting of The Mary
GUSTS Lee Chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy, letter was read from
General Fitzhugh Lee, in which he
gladly consents to deliver an address
on the oath day of February at the
Opera House for the benefit of the work
for which this organization is formed.
1t is not, perhaps, generally known
that the purpose of this association is
to aid those who, having passed through
the bloody strife and havoc of civil war,
find, in their latter days and lesseniDg
vigor, foes more difficult to face than
grape and canister and flashing blade.
The old Confederates are growing old
err, getting fewer, some, indeed, in actual
want; and it is the avowed province of
these good daughters, as it is their af-
fectionate pleasure, to alleviate by their
womanly ministrations the necessities
OF those who, in their brave breasts,
honorably SCARED, proudly and silently
hide the privations of these piping
times of peace"
A gallant gentleman offers his brain
and his eloquence for this cause, IS
wears ago he gave his youth and sword
for another; will not our good people
heartily respond? y. y. 4.

THE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.

The proceedings of the legislative
committee, in Richmond, investigating
charges of immortality and improper
conduct of officials of the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind Institution at Stanton still
continue to attract attention. The in.
dications are that the investigation will
occupy all of next week. 1t is under
stood that one, if not two, new and im.
portant witnesses will 60 on the stand
this evening. At yesterday mornings
session the committee heard and read
the records regarding letter written to
Mr.. G. s. Turner, member OF the
board of visitors. by DIR. +. NJ. GalIau'
Diet, of the National Deaf and Dumb H.
stitute at Washington. The charges
made in this letter were investigated
by q committee of the board composed
of Mr.. Mushbach and Mr.. Turner. This
letter of DIR. Gallaudet's, which is dated
March, 1894, stated that the Washing
ton institute received pupil, J. {.
Dowell, who had spent several years at
the Staunton institution. Young Dow
ell was found drunk shortly afterward'
When questioned he said he learned to
drink at the Staunton institution;
that the employees gave him liquor
and the engineer was one oil them.
Young Dowell further tod DIR. Gallau-
Diet, the Doctors letter said, that it was
we'll known among the pupils that sew
eral of the teachers, as well as the prn'
cipal, were in the habit of using strong
drink, and sometimes to excess. Inc
doctor stated that he had also heard
rumors of similar nature. The Wit
ness was subjected to thorough exam
ination on the subject of Dowel's adj
missions. The investigation of these
charges, made by Messrs. MushbacA
and Turner, resulted in the vindication
of the officers of the institution.
The only witness before the commit
tee at the evening session was DIR. /. B.
Winston, member of the board OF VIZ
itors and also member of the House
from Hanover. He testified that he
had twice seen Superintendent Doyle
under the influence of liquor, aud
named the occasions, once during the
session of the Legislature. CAPTAIN
Doyle was there in Richmond, and so
much intoxicated that he had TO goto
bed. The witness said that he hada
son, deaf mute, who was for timea
pupil at the institute. After hearing
the statements made about Dowell,
DR.. Winston removed his son and
placed him at the National Deaf ana
Dumb Institute at Washington. lie
was asked why he remained on the
board of visitors if the conditions at Tue
institute were such as he represented
them. DR.. Winston's reply was to re-
form those methods, which he though
he had accomplished to some extent
