Bryn Mawr is keeping up with the
other women's colleges as far as ath-
letics are concerned. The Philadelphia
Ledger says that Frederick Law Ohm
sted is now at work upon plans for the
grounds. These provide for circular BIZ
cycle track with four laps TO the mile,
and within this is large space for ten
mis-, basket ball and other sports. This
will be so arranged that in winter time it
can be flooded and provide fine skating
pond for the students These grounds
are kept in order by an athletic associa-
tion of the undergraduates, who manage
such affairs in much the same fashion as
they are looked after at men S colleges.

Notes from our Agricultural colleee


The following letter about Kafir
corn comes from Warren Walker,
Black Earth. Dane county:
Il desire information concerning
the Rising Of Kaffir corn in this VI
icinty. vii it prove profitable crop
for fodder? What is your experience
with it?''
\ Cir corn Is a variety of sorghum
whnh produces stalks without any
sweet juice. but with seeds somewhat
larger than ordinary sorghum seeds.
1t has proved valuable plant IN the
semi-arid region Of Texas, Kansas and
South Dakota. swhere it does better
than corn because it will grow with
less moisture. While Kafiir corn can
be grown in Wisconsin. / do not rec
ommend its general use. for the rea-
son that crop Of Indian corn can l.
produced with less labor and lare er
returns.
Every farmer who has had exper-
fence in raising sorghum for syrup
knows that the cropis more trouble
some to grow than corn. because the
young sorghum plants are SO small
when they first spring up that they
are apt to be much troabled by weeds,
while corn plants are much stronger
and soon get beyond weed troubles.
A good crop Of Kafiir corn will return
from 80 to 40 bushels of seed per acre
while Indian corn under the same con-
ditions would give considerably larger
returns English sparrows raid the
fields of Kaffir corn at the west, often
destroying much of the crop, while
they cannot hurt Indian corn.
oupt. McKerrow of the Institutes
tells me that he tried Kaffir corn be-
side Indian corn and secured only
about cne-half as much grain; this
tallies with our experience at the Sta
tion and leads me to advise farm ers
in this state to generally pay no at
tention to this novelty which is so
much advertised this season. The
same amount of energy spent ONT Ind
ian corn will give better returns.

With the May number, the journal
published. by the Standard Fashion
Company makes its appearance as the
Standard" designer. There is no
branch, sacred exclusively to women.
which is not herein considered. and
tits evident that no pains nor ex-
pense has been spared to make it of
practical assistance to home women.
The fashion designs show them how
to dress daintily. and various articles
suggest how to do So economically as
well. For those deft with the needle
there are hints on the subject of fancy
work, and for all there is information
on house furnishing and identifying,
on Horticulture, on cookery. on char
acter reading, on beauty and on al
most every subject which is Of inter
est to women. 1t really seems as if
with change of name this already
excellent journal is trying to surpass
itself.

SAVAGE TREACHERY OF SPAIN.
Fhe Nation Declared a Stranger to
Honor and ChivaIry.

Nhe NatlOn Declared n Stranger to
Honor and ChivaIry.
Jacksonville, Fla. Dec. 1S.-The Cubans
of this city will tomorrow night have a
torchlight procession, and great mass
meeting of citizens to express their indig-
nation at the cowardly assassination of
Maceo and the uncivilized methods of war
fare practiced by the Spaniards under
Gen. Weyler in Cuba. Speeches will be
made by prominent Americans, as well as
Cubans.
Joaquin Fortun, the president of Ell Cir
culo Guiana, and one of the representa-
tives of the junta in Florida, said to-day:
The cowardly murder of the gallant Ma
Geo by the Spaniards does not go very
tar to prove the splendid patriotism and
chiValry' of the Spaniards, mentioned in
the Presidents message"
He gave several instances Of Spanish
treachery during the last ten years wa
in Cuba, and recalled that when Gen. Jose
Maceo, Gulllermo Moncada and Quintin
Bandera celebrated a treaty of peace with
Spain in 1879 they were promised that if
they laid down their arms they and their
families would be permitted to embark
for Santiago de Cuba, and the govern
ment would pay their passage to any
country they wished to go. They en-
chains and sent to African prisons.
In 1869 many suspects were arrested at
Santiago de Cuba and carried to Manza-
nilla and Ziguinani and there beaten and
put to death in the most brutal manner.
Lola Benites, a bandit who served the
Spaniards in the ten years war, was re-
warded by being thrown into a Spanish
prison. He was released last year and is
now at the head of a band of desperate
criminals, whose task is to assassinate
Cubans.
In $780, Col. Emilio Nunez, now in Jack
sonviile, negotiated with Gen. Blanche for
final surrender. Two assassins were plac-
ed in Col Nunez's escort, with instructions
to kill him at the first opportunity. AS
reward for this they were to be paid 600.
Numerous other well-known incidents
were recalled by Mr.. Forum.
Mr.. Forum concludes: First, Spain
has falsifed the spirit of the Red Cross So
eiety in Cuba, where this institution is not
allowed to cure our wounded.
"Second-The Spaniards attack our hos
pitfalls, which they destroy, killing their in
mates DR.. Delgado, now in Jacksonville,
barely escaped raid on the hospital where
he was being attended The description
that this Cuban patriot gives of how the
wounded had to crawl to the woods to es-
cape the Spanish fury, is heart-rending and
excites the widest indignation against the
Turks of America.
"Third-The Spaniards invariably shoot
prisoners of war. We are relieved from the
proof of these three facts, because they are
daily officially admitted by the Spanish
government.
After all this to speak to the world of
Spain's chivalry, is the hight of sarcasm"

The Papers in the Contest TO Re
Laid Before the House To-day.
Washington, Dec. 13-Among the papers
that will be laid before the House to-
morrow will be the documents in the mat
ter of the contests by Alexis Benoit, for
the seat from the Fifth Louisiana dis
trict for the present term of the Fifty
fourth congress. for which C. j. Boatner
holds a certificate as the result Of spec
ial election held on Nov. 8, last. Messrs.
Boatner and Benoit we're opponents at the
election in 1894, at which time Mr.. Boat
ner received a certificate for the full term.
But he was unseated last spring as the
result of contest by Mr.. Benoit. The
House, however, refused to give the con-
testant the seat, for the reason that while
Mr.. Boatner's election was invalid for IN
timidation and fraud Mr.. Benoit did not
receive a sufficient number of votes to
warrant the House In declaring him elect
ed. So they tried 1t over again last
month"; and now Mr.. Benoit asks the
House to review the election. The contest
will go to the committee on elections No.
g. of which Mr.. Johnson, rep, of Indiana.
is chairman.

CONGRESS AND THE cuBAxs.
MaceO's Death Apt to Be Brought Up
in the Senate To-day.

Washington Dec. iS.-Little else was
discussed in Washington to-day among
diplomats and politicians beyond the
tragic death of the insurgent general Ma
Geo. The sentiment here among all classes
is decidedly with the Insurgents and ex-
pressions of sympathy were heard on all
sides for the ultimate success of the Gu
ban cause.
The subject of Maceos death will be
brought up in congress tomorrow, most
probably in the Senate, where several res
olutions recognizing Cuban belligerency
are pending. 1t is less difficult to bring
the subject up there than in the House,
where the rules restrict action. Chairman
Hit of the House foreign affairs commit
tee. was not in position tonight, ne
said, to discuss the subject of Maceo's
death. The news was too conflicting ana
indefinite and he was in favor of waiting
until the details of the circumstances as
suming that Maceo is dead, are re-
ceived through the United States
official channels. Mr.. Hit, because of
his prominent position. is casstious, and he
voices the general sentiment of the con-
servative element in both parties.
There is in both branches Of congress a
large number who are ready to recognize
Cuban belligerency, whether the Maceo
incident proves correct or not.
Senator Blanchard of Louisiana repre-
sented this element when he declared to-
night that he was ready a any time to
vote for a resolution recognizing either the
belligerency of the Cubans, or, better still,
their independence.
Senator Platt of Connecticut said that
the mendacious character of the news
from Cuba for the past six months. ana
its utter unreliablity prevented him from
expressing any opinion in advance of Of
hcial information confirming Maceo 3
death. Nobody knows" he declared
with emphasis, whether Maceo is dead
or alive: if dead, how he met his death
or any Of the essential details upon which
to base an intelligent opinion and until 1
do know 1 will not speak as to what
ought to be done or indiate how 1 will
act.'
Senator Thurston of Nebraska said he
would vote to enter the protest of this
government against the manner of war
fare being carried on In Cuba, and Mr.. Nc
MILAN of Tennessee, and Mr.. Berry of
Kentucky, favored some action by the gov
ernment which would show to the world
that the United States did not stand idly
by and by its silence approve Of the meth
DDS of the Spanish government against
Cuba.
1t is not believed that a resolution to in
Yestigate the manner in which Maceo met
his death will be offered in congress- even
Cuban sympathizers do not think such a
matter is within the power of this govern
ment, as Maceo is a Spanish subject, and
his death, if dead, occurred on Spanish
soil, but il will be within the province of
the United States consul general at Ha-
vana to institute such inquiries and for
congress to call for and act upon his report
The matter will doubtless take this course
