1. a. w. NOTES.

The Cheltenham and Willow
Grove Turnpike Company has just
paid Chief Consul Boyle, of the
Pennsylvania division, League of
American wheelmen, 5000 as set
tlement in full of the claim of Geo.
IL. Carter, of Philadelphia, for in
iuries to himself and wheel, caused
by one of the gate keepers in the
company's employ.
Mr.. Carter, in company with sew
eral other members of the South
End Wheelmen, was riding over the
pike and was pulled off his wheel by
the gate-tender and threatened with
more violence, and his machine was
badly damag, d, the excuse being
that he had not paid his toll 1t
was proven that another member of
the party had the ticket for all, and
Mr.. Carter as a member of the Lea
que entered complaint with Chief
Consul Boyle with the above result.
In justice to the turnpike company
it should be said that upon Mr..
Boyle's presentation of the case they
settled at once, as soon as the exact
amount of damage was ascertained.
This case is but one more addi-
tional in the long list settled by the
chief consul during the present year
and proves more conclusively than
any other argument can the advan-
tage of membership in the organiza-
| ton.
The Agricultural Department con-
cedes that the L. A. w. has done
much to aid them in their work for
good roads and in educating the peo-
pie on the subject, not only in what
makes a good road, but how to do it.
The object lesson afforded in a cycle
path, where it is impossible to secure
a road, will eventually result in the
building of a road, if for no other
reason than the reduced cost of
hauling loads over good roads.
L. A. w. GROWTH.
Some idea of the rate at which the
League of American Wheelmen is
increasing in membership may be
obtained from the following COM
parisons During the four months
July, August, September, and Octo-
Der, 1895, there were 4277 more ap.
plications than during the cores
ponding period of 1894. This was
considered remarkably rapid
growth, and was in fact the best
showing which had ever been made
in the organization but during the
same four months in this year there
were 1859 more applications than
there were in 1895, or more thar
double.
The total membership at the pre-
sent time is II, ,S45, of which 1914:
reside in Pennsylvania.

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE.

ing Leads TO Suspensions.

Whislkers Create n Commotion and Haz-
ing Leads TO Suspensions.
The faculty and students at Lafay-
cite are just now having it out, over
some recent happenings at that seat
of learning, and up-to-date several
students have been notified that
their health requires an immediate
change of air and surroundings.
One Henry M. Payne of Southold
L. l., a sophomore who wore glossy
set of whiskers, which is against
the unwlitten law of the college,
after the class picture was taken
remarked that he got them in the
picture anyway, when the boys sug-
gested that they must come off, and
began a refrain Oh me Oh my !
How we'll make those whiskers fly.
1t is said he assented and led the
way to the barber shop near the
Campus. There several desired to
take part in the shearing probably to
obtain a lock of the glossy pets as a
memento of their beloved classmate.
In the general scrimmage Payne had
his finger slightly injured, and his
temper evidently riled, for he sub
sequently obtained warrants for the
arrest of several of the participants.
He seemed to think it necessary to
go to his home to have the wounded
hand dressed, and was escorted to
the train by large body of students
who made things rather warm for
him. The faculty have been investi-
eating the affair and the result is
that some have been suspended. II
is claimed however that the suspen-
sions are not on account of the
whiskers matters but for previous
hazing scrapes, and that Payne him
self is directly interested as a parti-
cipant in one of these little pleasan-
tries. At all events there has been
shaking up and the college has at.
tained considerable notoriety, The
sophomores deny the use of any
force or any intention of such 6
thing, and claim they only went
along with Payne for a lark after he
had suggested having his glossy ap-
pendages removed. He has however
by his statements and action in OBJ
tanning warrants probably engend
cred such feeling among his class
mates and the students generally
that it will be more agreeable fol
him to complete his education a
} some other institution. Hazing is {
reprehensible practice and too Otter
carried to an extreme. 1t howevel
has for its excuse frequently thu
Spirit with which certain young
men conduct themselves within thu
halls of learning. A man who il
not too self asserting, ,pompous, AFRO
, CANT and generally obnoxious by his
, manners, is in no danger from gen
tlemen students. There are rowdyl
in all grades of life, and some o
course drift in college. If they de
velop such instincts the better wa!
is to eliminate them, but as rul,
most of the hazing is intended sim
ply to tone down a too conspiciou
example of some particular.
