While Not Admitting Women, Their
Names May Grace Its Catalogue.
Yale university will make new and
important departure next year. The
faculty has arranged for the establish
ment of teachers course, open to all
teachers, male and female, of public
and private schools of the state. The
course will consist of "a lectures-eight
in the fall, eight in the winter and eight
in the spring terms. The lectures will
be given on Saturdays from ten to
eleven, and they will be open to gradu-
ates OF colleges and to those who have
qualified themselves by previous study.
The tickets of the course will cost $40
and will also admit the holders to the
college library exhibitions-rooms, Pea
body museum and the art school col
lections.
Teachers taking this course will have
their names entered on the university
catalogue, but will not be regarded as
candidates for degrees. In other words,
while the names of women will appear
in the catalogue, the university does
not surrender to women; its doors are
still virtually closed against them.

Chinese Emperor Presents Medals to
Captains In Asiatio Waters.
The emperor of China has testified his
appreciation of the gallantry shown by
the bluejackets of the American war
ships in rescuing drowning persons in
the recent terrible disaster resulting
from collision at Woo-Sung between
the steamers Onwo and New Chang by
presenting to the captain of each of
Uncle Sans cruisers in Asiatic waters
an deliberately engraved and highly COM
plimentary testimonial.
The part taken by the American sail
ors in this disastrous affair, which sent
over 300 human beings to death, is given
In detail by Harry Walsh, one of the
crew of the Boston, in letter to his
mother, who resides in San Francisco.
According to Walsh, the bluejackets of
the cruiser Olympia did the most eff
fective life-saving work, as she was rid
ing at anchor within 1000 yards of the
scene Of the collision.

Gov. Bushnell, of Ohio, has received
a letter from Prof. E. d. Cope, of the

president of the Society for the Ad-
vancement of Science, in which he
deprecates the fact. that Ohio is soon

is q fad and barbarism. The effect
of the electric shock is, he says, IN

many cases persons have suffered Sc

under the New York law and have re-

he thinks the persons who offered to

FORTUNES IN MoRso CASTLE.
owen Melton, Prisoner, Describes the
Inquisitorinl System in Vogue.

Inquisitorial System in Vogue.
Owen Melton, the young American
who was taken by the Spaniards when
the schooner Competitor was seized,
writing from Havana under date of
June 3, gives an account of the treat
ment of prisoners in MORO castle and
Fort Cabanas. He says:
Nightly volleys of musketry are
heard. The next day the prisoners I'M
derstand what the volleys meant when
they miss the faces of certain men. The
most terrible thing-that has come under
my observation occurred on May go.
On that day Faustino Padrone, a 16-
year-old boy who had been captured
near Havana, was brought to the Gu
banas. The boy was suspected of be-
ing connected with the insurgents, and
TO make him confess he was tortured.
He was stripped and tied up by the
arms. Then a Spanish lieutenant
whipped the boy with Tawhide until
he was q mass of bleeding pulp. AS
the whip fell the officer would ask the
boy certain questions. The latter, suf-
fering agony, would cry out: Yes, yes
These answers would be written down
to be used against the boy when he is
court-martialed."

Got 'em Stirred up.

Canton, O., July 1.-THE impres.
sion prevails here that it was Bryan's
Grafton which won him the nomina.
ton, and that but for the fiery elo.
quence with which he stampeded the
convention hs would have stood no
show of nomination.
It is thought that the oratory
which won in this case will be re.
garded potent by the campaign
managers and that Bryan will be
put on the stump for personal can.
vass. This naturally causes discus,
SION here as to whether the Repub-
lican managers will not follow the
same course and have Mckinley
make tour.
His capability in that line is al.
ready known, and, while no one in
authority pretends to know positive.
ly that such will be the case, it is
expected that he will at least make
a campaigning tour westward.

shown his faith in the silver question
by his works. Pat said to Mike:

do really think the populists should
indOrse him without comment.
How the Virginians received the
news of Bryans nominations: There
were Dick Bland men that thought
that more populists would vote for
Bland than any other man; others
think Bryan being a younger man
has been working more with the
populists, and will gather a larger
thought that Teller was the man for
them to have nominated, that all the
free silver people would have united
on him and taken the cake; some OF
the populists think the democrats
are trying to force them to vote for
Bryan or do without Is to 1, others
think that the democrats ought to
divide the spoils of office with the
different factions of the silver men,
others think the nomination of Bryan
will place Mckinley in the chair
without doubt.
Miss Baldwin, Of Kansas, is visit
ing her cousin, Miss Ella burst this
week, and will remain for the dinner.

regard to DeArmond for congress-

visit Arkansaw till after the st Louis
convention the 22nd, was over, theI
he could come and enjoy the freedom

Ex-Governor Waite for Bryan.

Waite, ex-governor, says Of the Bryan

"The result of the Chicago con-

the doctrines of Jefferson and Jack

evils which beset the country. The
success of the reform element Of the
democratic party over government
patronage aud Wall street combined
affords an opportunity, and IN my
judgement the only hope of success
for a union upon an electoral ticket
by the people Of the south and wes
and by the great commonality O
the nation whose prosperity has beer
destroyed and who are fast losing
their liberties, to strike down th'
money power which IS reducing u

President, Arthur Sewall. Both men
are sll right and it is the very best
choice the convention could have
made. The nomination of a man
from Maine for Vice President shows
that the fight is not sectional and
will add greatly to silver's cause in
the East"
"Are the democratic nominations
favored 10y the laboring masses in
genera.?" Sovereign was asked.
Should the convention have been
composed exclusively of laboring
men they could have made no choice
that would have given more general
satisfaction. expect the nomina.
tions to be endorsed by the Knights
of Labor and all other labor organi-
cations throughout the United
States"
do you think the democratic tick
ct will be elected"
Yes; by an overwhelming major
ity. Thousands will desert Bryan
and the democratic platform and
tens of thousands will leave McKin-
ley and rally to the silver leader S
standard.
"The convention resulted in the
complete turning down Of all the
elements that have dominated the
party organization for the past 2C
years. It marks a new era in the
! politics of this country. 1t is the
dawn of a brighter day for the poo,
