How are our silver friends OK
planning the increase in the value
of our cotton crop this year in the
face of the fall of silver ? Silver
has fallen 20 per cent. in the past
year, while cotton has so much ad-
vanced that this years crop, al
though very light in quantity, will
bring $25, 900, 900 more to the farm
ers of the South than that of two
years ago. The explanation -
which the silverites apply in the
case of wheat will not do for cotton.

Trouble Between the Sophomore and Fresh-
man Glasses That May Result In ExpuisIOns.
ITHACA. Dec. ga few evenings ago the
sophomore class held a smoker in n theatre in
this city. and as it occurred shortly after tho
freshman football team had administered a
crushing defeat to the sophomore team the
freshmen concluded to have a little fun with
tho sophomores. Accordingly they assembled
in considerable numbers about the theatre and
made q great deal of noise. This in itself was
harmless, but q few venturesome spirits Sc
cured entrance to the theatre and SHE'D q few
stale eggs at tho sophonores, and when the
OF tho racket they were assailed with more stale
eggs.
1t was thought that tho affair would pass
off unnoticed, but the officers of the university
have taken steps to stop further trouble and
punish the offenders. President Schurman has
had an interview with the president Of the
freshman class and impressed upon him the
necessity Of the class taking some action. Ac-
cordingly a meeting OF this class will be held to-
morrow morning, and 1t Is probable that the
egg-throwing viii be repudiated by the class.
II this action Is taken, tho indignation of the
sophomore class will be appeased and further
authorities to discover the freshmen who actu.
ally threw the eggs. and II discovered they will
undoubtedly be expelled from the university.
Tho affair Is somewha complicated by the fact
that the manager OF the theatre has handed in n
bill for a considerable amount for some ono to
settle for some scenery that was injured by tho
eggs which were thrown.

Owing to the dense fog yesterday morning
the ferryboats John J. Mccullough Of the Erie

from the foot OF Barclay street. Both boats
were crowded and for q short time excitement
prevailed among the passengers.
The Bremen left her slip In Hoboken at 7:2B
o'clock and crept cautiously across tho river.
going scarcely at half her regular speed, 30 a.
to avoid accidents. The fog whistle was
blown continually. While the Bremen was
approaching the Barclay street slip the McCuI.
Tough crept out of her slip ut tho foot of Cham.
bers street. She had a considerable number OF
passengers on board. and every precaution was
taken to prevent accidents.
When she cleared her slip she was swung
down the stream by the tide. A few minutes
later she crashed into the Bremen amidshipS
and tore, away part of the framework of tie
mems cabin. Several windows In the Bremen
We're broken. and the McCullough's deck WAS
splintered. The force of tho collision threw a
number OF passengers to tho floor, but no one
was seriously injured. Some Of tho more eT.
