BUTLER AFFAIRS.
The Fraternity Rushes-Prospects of
the Football Team.

Fraternity whistles and college songs are
heard once more on the streets of Irvington,
giving evidence of the fact that Butler Col
lege has opened her doors for the work of
another year. The first week of school has
passed and both faculty and students have
settled down to the regular routine work Of
school. The rushing" season among the
different fraternities is still on, the results
of which are seen in beribboned freshmen in
the college halls. The Phi Delta Thetas
have already initiated three freshmen into
their fraternity. They are John Williams,
of Wabash. Ind; John Cunningham, of Fin
castle, Ind, and Harvey Hadley, of Indian
apolis.
The first number Of the Butler Collegian,
the college paper, will appear Oct. %. The
staff of editors is rs follows: Editor-in-
chief, Arson II. Washburn; assistant editor,
Ezra c. Roberts; business manager, Carl r.

Butler gridiron this week. Yesterday after
noon the men "limbered up and did some
good work, but no great progress will be
made until the arrival of the coach whom
Manager Harry Smith expects to have on
hands in a few days. The football outlook
for the university is better than it has been
for years. The material in the different de-
partments is of the best, and if the proper
effort is made to bring it together for prac-
tice under a good coach Indianapolis will
send out team that will beat anything in
the State.

FEDERAL CLERKS FEES.
They Can Collect, Although No Bus
mess Is Transacted.

BY a decision yesterday of Robert j.
Tracewell, controller of the treasury, Noble
c. Butler, clerk of the United States Court
at this point, may, with other clerks of the
Federal Court co lect fees where they attend
the federal courts officially, when these
courts are opened by the judge, even if no
business is transacted.
The United States Court of Claims in 1890
held that Federal Court clerks could not col
lect per diem, mileage or fees for attending
court when no business was transacted, or
for entering orders made in vacation. The
auditing officers of the treasury, it seems
disregarded the decision until few months
before Mr.. Bower's retirement, when the
latter began holding up claims for fees
in accordance with the decision of the Court
of Claims. Controller TraceWell overrules
Bowler and ignores the Court of Claims. He
holds, however, that clerks cannot collect

She was washing her hair in the laundry
when her hair was caught in some shafting

feet, and when she fell to the floor all the

and the eyebrows went with the hair. The
physicians removed enough skin from the
woman's back to cover her head, and think
she may recover, but the chances, they say,
are against this.
