This report calls for such a reorgani-
cation OF the Medical School as will make
all funds receivable by the College Treas
ufer and payable under salaries and APP
preparations voted by the Trustees and
Overseers; and bring all appointments
and changes of policy more directly under
their supervision
The experiment in individual instruc-
ton, by which instructors meet students
singly or in groups OF three or four, thus
removing individual difficulties and stimu-

and its extension to other departments Of
study is strongly urged,
A system of honor courses for the best
students, in which they shall do extra
work under the more immediate persona
supervision of the instructor, and receive
recognition therefor in honers at gradu
alton, is outlined and recommended.

Improvement In Trade.

That business Improvement really Is
here becomes more and more palpable.
The testimony of three important induces
Is In evidence, namely, bank clearings
railway earnings and the iron trade.
Bank clearings figures, which represent
the total value of checks passing 10
given time, always count for much as
gauge of business volume. AS yet the
aggregate of these shows small gains
over last year, but any gain is encourag-
ing and the fact that the total of figures
of bank clearings of the leading cities Of
the United States last week exceeds the
aggregate of the same week last year by
one per cent is suggestive. Moreover,
this weeks total is five per cent larger
than last weeks There were thirty less
business failures last week than the
week before and thirty-nine less than in
the week last year. Increased orders
for staple goods for fall delivery are
noted by Bradstreet'sTeview, which also
sees indications at a numker of centers
of larger trade movement than last
year. An advance in cotton and another
in print cloths are features of the week
Exports of wheat increased sharply.
The stock market has made further pro-
gress, prices gaining on steadily ncreas-
ing buoyancy and undoubtedly there is
more public interest in the market than

novel feature was the division composed

Circus Coming.

SO much has been said and done in
advertising a circus, that to certain
extent the public have become wary of
announcements concerning them. Leon
W. Washburn claims however that he
has several novelties that are worthy of
attention and in presenting his Museum
Menagerie, and Hippodrome he feels
confident of giving the patrons of his
hows the full worth of their money.
He is one of the few progressive mana
gers that believe in trying to better the
style of his show every season and he is
fully satisfied that this year he has the
largest ensemble Of first class perform
ers, more wild animals and more spirit
ed contests in his hippodrome than he
has ever had the pleasure of presenting
to the public before, The baby lions,
the little elephant, the cat Ministries,
Charlie the oldest and largest elephant
alive, and hundred other attractions
that amuse, mystify and fill the beholder
with awe and amazement, are to be seen
with this Great Allied Show this season.
Captain Bailey's perilous dive from a
ladder one undred and twenty-five feet
high into life saving net below, is one
of the free features of this colossal ex-
hibition. The entire show is new and
ought to fill the tent to overlooking.

A Peculiar Dutch Custom.

A popularity among Dutch farmers
who live mt distance from town is
to have a coffin IN readiness for their
burial. 1t is by no means uncommon to
see still sturdy old patriarch going to
an clubhouse and grayely contemplating
that which is to hold his body when he
shuffies off this mortal coil. This char
aoteristic has also appeared in President
Kruger, who has recently imported a
coffin, and at a cost, too, of G100.

The efforts making by President Nc
kinley's administration for the annex
alton of Hawaii to the United States will
receive popular commentator. Some
great nation is bound to have Hawaii
and she legally belongs to us, says an
exchange. The people of the United
States are divided upon the question of
annexation of Hawaii and, if things
could remain as they are, it would pro-
badly be satisfactory to our government
at Washington, but Hawaii cannot
maintain its standing and if we do not
take the Sandwich Islands, that are
generally conceded to belong to us and
are offered us by the Dole government,
Japan or some other nation will.

his draft there are none of the objection

There is every reason to believe that the
