EXPELLED ALL THE GIRLS
Senior Glass of the High School in
Chatham. Mass. in Rebellion.

is caused in Chatham by the fact that
the principal of the high school this
morning expelled the entire senior
class. The class consists of girls, and
had rebelled, refusing to comply with
recent order of the school board re-
curing each pupil III the high school to
prepare an essay every night at home.
The graduating class said that they
already had all the work on hand that
they could possibly cover properly. and
that this order increased their task to
a point beyond endurance. They all
have some household duties to attend
to al home, and they further say that
the committee has no authority to say
what they should do after school hours.
This morning there was open rebel
lion, resulting in the expulsion Of the
entire class of bright YOUNG women.

GREEK WING BROKEN.
Long Record of Greek Reverses Only
Lengthened BY the Last Battle.

London, May 1S.-The latest news
from the seat of hostilities by way of
Athens shows that the battle ceased
yesterday about p. m, but Will prOba-
bly, be resumed.
Thus far no account of the fighting
has been received from the Turkish
side. 1t is evident from the Greek ac-
count that the Greeks have suffered a
serious defeat, and if the left wing has
given way, as appears probable. Ed
hem Pasha may be able to cut off the
Greek retreat and separate General
Smolenski from the main army.
This is Edhem Pasha's reply to the
foolish attempt of Col ManOs to snatch
a victory in Epirus. If Greece had pre-
vented ManOs from placing this last
card of a gambler. Turkey might per
haps have ceased hostilities. AS it is
now, she is in full possession of Thes-
sally and the powers will find the task
of protecting Greece more difficult than
ever
The dispatches from Athens repre-
sent the populace as astounded when
the news of the fighting came. They
had hoped to the last that the powers
would prevent Turkey from going fur
Their.
One report represents the Greek gov
eminent as threatening to take extreme
and desperate steps unless Europe ar
rests the progress of the invaders.

by his friend, John Jacob Aston, few

seat at Hyde park warning the public
that all bicycle riders who enter the

Mr.. Vanderbilt was walking along one
of his secluded driveways when he en-
countered two wheel women, who were
plucking flowers from the roadside.
HAS Mr.. Vanderbilt given you pernis-
sion to pick those f1owers?" asked he.
''Oh, no. answered one of them, but
we don't mean to let him catch US"

Some Odd Tales Told by an Old Florida
Hotel RACiater.

OOA1O ~ ~ AOA0 " ~ VIZ
Hotel Register.
At the end OF a chapter on alligators.
In his book Hunting and Fishing in
Florida" Mr.. Charles B. Cory, curator
of the department of ornithology in the
Field Columbian museum, Chicago,
gives an entry which he once saw in
the register of the Brock house
In the old days, when transportation
was more difficult than IL is at present,
the Brock house was about the end of
civilization, and was q "a hours trip
by boat from Jacksonville. 1t was at
that time q great resort for sportsmen,
who were attracted there by the fish
Ing and shooting to be had in the vi
cinity.
Tho old register. which extended
back q great many years, contained
some queer records, many of them OF
doubtful veracity. Among others.
some one had written:
March 10. 1872, killed a lnrge alli-
gator, the largest seen here this year;
the stomach contained a boot, @ piece
of pine wood, a fisherman's float, and
some small fish,"
Immediately beneath this record was
another. evidently added by some wng:
"March "a. killed a much bigger alli-
gator than the one mentioned above.
The stomach contained o gold watch,
$4,000 in government bonds. and n
cord of wood"
On the next page, written in n neat,
u~nobtrusive style. was inscribed the
following: "Shot the biggest alligator
ever known in Florida; the stomach
contained the remains of a steam
launch, a lot of old railway iron, and a
quantity of melted ice, proving that it
existed during the glacial epoch"

For the State University.

From the Columbia Herald.
The recommendations of Governors
Stone and Stephens regarding the
university show the interest felt by the
state in the prosperity and progress Of
this institution. In the last five years
the university has become better known
to the people of Missouri, and they
have a kIndlier feeling for it. Under
proper management it will continue to
grow in favor, and hence year by year
be given the generous support that it
needs and deserves.
The point that the university should
be endowed so as to take 1t out of the
general scramble for appropriations IS
well taken Only when this endow-
ment is large enough to provide for the
university's constantly growing neces-
stiles will it be able to do its best
work. How this endowment may be
secured is a problem to which the
thought of the Legislators may be- well
directed.
Here and there arc yet found per-
sons who speak d~isparagingly of the
constantly recurring request OF the
university for appropriations and addi-
tons. s'Did the state not give it so
much money two years agoP' they ASK
in astonishment. True; but when n
university Ices moi grow it falls behind.
The surest sign of the university's fail
ure to do Its work would be when it
failed to need increased %appropria-
lions. This would mean either the
state was retrograding or the univer-
sity, or both.
