tiOnal heights to which a typical Ken
lucky girl may rise is the career of Miss
Leila Mckee, the famous president of
the Western College For Women at Ok
ford, o. Born and reared in the blue
grass region, Miss Mckee is a thorough
southerner, but at the same time she
has gained for herself a place among
the foremost educators of the day.
Her father, the Rev. John L. Mckee
of Danville, was for 20 years vice presi-
dent of Center college, Danville, from
which institution he resigned last june,
being made vice president emeritus.
Miss Mckee went from private schools
to Caldwell college and in 1877 was
graduated from what was then tbs
Western Female seminary at Oxford, q.
By special consent of the faculty she
then entered Center college, being the
first woman student to do so. She took
the complete course and was graduated
with honors, receiving a classical de-
gree. Next she entered Wellesley, from
which she received a bachelors degree
in 1886. In the same year Center col
lege conferred upon her the degree Of
A. NJ. and that of Phi. D. in 1892.
For a time Miss Mckee occupied the
chair of Greek literature and philosophy
in Caldwell college, and in 1888 she
was called to the presidency Of the
Western Female seminary. That posi-
ton she has held ever since. During her
administration the seminary has become
a college. It has been no mere nominal
change, but under her skillful and en-
terprising direction the curriculum has
been broadened to the full dignity of q
college course and classical degrees are
now conferred.

TRIAL OF MEXICAN LYNCHERS
Case Goes to the Jury To-day, and
Death Sentence Is Expected.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. H.-The trial Of the
policemen and officials of police who took
an active part in the killing of Arroyo, the
would-be assassin of President Diaz, draws
to a. close, and the verdict is expected to-
morrow Great crowds have attended, and
1t has been difficult to prevent the packing
of the courtroom in the Palace of Justice
to overflowing. Members of all grades of
society have been present and perfect or
der has prevailed. The accused realize the
seriousness of their position. and the
prisoners van is called when they are
taken from the court, showing the strength
of the public feeling against them. Last
night the prisoners were kept in the Palace
of Justice, so great were the crowds in the
street awaiting the appearance of the van.
The prisoners are well guarded, and a mob
cannot get at them
One OF the attorneys for the defense told
the jury that the case was attracting the
attention of the civilized world and that
the reports were going by Associated Press
all over the globe Prosecuting Attorney
Aszpe. young man. who has won bril-
liant triumph in this case and who, with
admirable self-posSesSion, has restrained
from replying to the innuendoes of the op-
posing counsel, made one of the most nota-
BILE arguments in the history of the Mex
lean bar.
and it is expected 1t will take ten hours to
arrive at a verdict. Popular belief is that
most OF the eleven men for whom the pub
lie prosecutor asks capital sentence will
be condemned and be shot. No case has
ever attracted more attention here, and the
trial has been eminently fair the prisoners
being allowed every opportunity to prove
the eXL61}uating circumstances.

WAR DEPARTMENT ESTIMATES.
Secretary AIger Believes They Can BE
Cut Without Harm.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-In his first an
nual report Secretary Alger makes many
recommendations for the betterment of the
administration of the War Department,
based on the conclusions of his subordinate
officers. He asks favorable consideration
for the proposition to add two regiments to
the artillery branch, pointing to the valua-
BILE Notifications now being erected, which,
he says, should not be manned by a cor
poral's guard. He says of Alaska that as
many as one hundred thousand people will
be gathered there next year, and a military
force should be sent to the territory and
large emergency powers should be granted
to the President to repress iawessness.
Probably the creation of additional military
reservations, like that of st. MichaeIs, may
be the best means to meet the problem.
A boat for the patrol of the Yukon is also
asked for, as well as increased pay for the
enlisted men serving in Alaska
Secretary Alger recommends the revival
of the grade of Lieutenant General, saying
that all the great nations give their officers
much higher ranks than does the United
States. He indorses the recommendation
of the superintendent of the Military Acad-
emy that the number of students at West
Point be increased by allowing each SEN
he suggests that the President be author
lied to appoint ten cadets at large each
year. Favorable comment is made on the
work of the military colleges of the coun-
try. but it is suggested that the law be
amended so as to authoize details of army
officers only to such colleges as have at
least 15O pupils actually present.
Attention is called to the need of proper
system of criminal jurisdiction over mill
tary reservations and OF hall OF records
for the storage of official papers. The es-
innate for army transportation is increased
by 100000 to provide means for moving
heavy ordnance. To provide for the new
posts needed on the seacoast an estimate
of 50 600 is submitted
Until recently the hospital at Hot Springs
was open only to soldiers of the regular
army. but Secretary Alger has just amend
