"Norton's Pride" Painted in Big trimson
Letters on the Fngg Museum OF Art
Sharply Censured by the Undergraduates
Nothing to Equal II Since the Attack on
Yale in '92.
Cambridge, Mass, March T.---Again
one of Harvard's beautiful buildings
has been dishgured by the vandalistic
actions Of some of her unworthy mem
bers. Not since 1892, when on the rear
steps of Memorial hall We're painted IN
large letters ITO --- with Yale and
the imposing statue of John Harvard
was smeared with red paint, has such
vandalism been noticed until this morn
ing The new and costly Fogg Museum
Of Art. facing on Cambridge street, be-
tween Memorial hall and Appleton
chapel, was the subject of the last van
dalism. Pedestrians in this part OF the
yard were confronted this morning by
the museum building bearing III large
crimson letters "Norton's Pride
Charles Eliot Norton. who is profess
sor and head of the Fine Arts depart
ment, has, at different times, express
ed much disapprobation with the new
building.
This mornings affair receives the Sc
verest eensure Of the undergraduates in
general Four years ago, when Memo
rial hall was painted, the Cambridge
authorities felt so incensed regarding
the affair that they enlisted into their
services several Boston detectives and
|succeeded in finding the culprits to have
been the most prominent members of
the senior graduating class. The affair
was hushed up so that the names OF
several prominent Boston families
might not be compromised in conse-
quence Of the Investigations. Although
the perpetrators of this mornings ac-
ton have not as yet been discovered,
the faculty is, strongly convinced Of
their identity. A German secret soci-
ETY. in the medical school has been sup
pressed lately by the university facui-
ty, and it is thought that the disgrun-
tied students Of that society have
sought this way of showing their an
ger. The reason of this assumption Is
that several of them have of late been
detected in various other miSdemean-
ors Invitations nicely engraved We're
| lately sent out to prominent college
men purporting to have come from Mrs

cards or requests" supposed to have
come from the dean, which put the
fears of probation into the hearts Of
| those receiving them, were sent to

| That there might be a fitting climax
| to this mornings work, twelve large
l.live rats were by some means placed
in the lecture hall of the art museum,
and great excitement resulted in con-
sequence among the 400 students who
had assembled for the morning lecture.

Key West, Fla, March 17.-Since the
reported departure of the Commodore
from Charleston and the Bermuda from
New York and of other vessels from
Florida points with arms and ammuni-
ton for the Cuban insurgents this

Spanish cruisers. 1t is reported that
these vessels patrol the coast from Sand
Key Light to Cape Florida. During the
day they keep well out to sea, coming
in shore during the night. They Keep
within hailing distance of each other,
and their searchlights at night make
it almost impossible for any vessel to
pass without being seen.
