Undergraduates Have Their Usual Fun at
the Ceremony.
Cambridge, England. March 12.-Hon-
orary degrees were conferred yesterday
by Cambridge university upon United
States Ambassador Bayard and upon
the retiring French ambassador. Baron
De Courcel, with the usual ceremonies.
There were many ladies present. The
recipients of the honors were attired
in scarlet robes and from the under
graduate galleries were heard the usual
comments on the proceedings. Bayard
was wildly cheered and applauded for
about five minutes and a big American
flag unfurled and waved by the UNDER
graduates.
The epublic orator delivered a laudatory
GRAFTON in Latin full Of compliments to
the United States ambassador. As usual
the orator was interrupted by the un-
dergraduates with jocular yells of
Take your hat off" Take no notice of
him. Mr.. Bayard," ETC.. The vice chan
cellor then presented the degree amid
applause and cries of Speech" !"
Speech" The ceremony ended with
three cheers for the ambassador and
singing For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"
and with whistling Yankee Doodle, -
and La Marsellaise."

her mother to stay with a friend for two
weeks and was kept in the house all
the time of her visit. Her mother after
ward told her that it was an attempt
by some of her enemies to get money
out of her for the return of her daugh-
ter. Josephine also tells of a quarrel
between her mother and the janitor
of the building in which they lived
The trouble was over bringing coal up
stairs, and at that time Josephine says
the janitor threatened to kill Mrs
Bragg. Mrs. Bragg was found uncon-
scious in bed at her home with a bullet
through her head, by Josephine, who
slept with her. The police We're not
notified for eight hours.
Another mysterious thing about the
case is that though a pistol has been
found, there is no sign of the bullet, al
though 1t went clear through Mrs.
Bragg's head as 1t lay on the pillow.
