Mr.. EDITOR
In the account that you gave in your
last issue of our Commencement" l
find to my great surprise that the names
of our graduates, Miss Emily t. Cooke
and Miss T. Evelyn Merrimon, are left
out. This is truly the play of Hamlet
with the part of Hamlet left out. The
failure on our part to include their
names in the list sent you can be excused
only on the ground that they were so
prominent in our own thought that we
inconsiderateiy supposed they must be
also in the thoughts of all, and among
them of the printer when he was setting
up his type and publishing our proceed
ings abroad We are not willing. how
ever, that they should be without the hon
orable mention which they have so well
deserved, and you will. therefore, greatly
oblige me by publishing this communica-
ton as the only apology that can be made
for the oversight.
Yours truly,
NJ

Charles Broadway Rouss, Esq, said
More than any one man or syndicate OF

cluster about heart. He has dispensed
thousands of dollars in gifts to the South
and in memorials to the Confederate
dead, and nearly quarter of a million IS
now his pledge toward the erection of the
Confederate Battle Abbey With uncov-
cred head salute this blind Confederate

since the improvements it is undergoing
are nearing completion. Among the
changes being made is the filling up of
the area that led to the 90 sink !" under the
the parlor and the closing of the doorway
that led to that historic apartment; and
the old steps on the east side, upon which
loafers have 1oafed for generations, have
been removed and that doorway is shut.
The whole building is being reprinted,
the color being light tint of greenish
hue, with darker colors for the trimmings
which gives it bright, attractive ap-
pearance. Under the management of
Mr. d. L. Dentch the Entler Hotel is a
very desirable hosiery, and the improve
ments now being made will add to its

Miss Margaret Williams, the typewriter
on account of whose mistake an extra
session of the New Jersey Legislature
had to be called, has been indirectly the
cause of saving the State $4,000. The
new bill of the constitutional amendment
election in September was passed at the
extra session, and it provides for fewer
DAYS of registration than the old bill. In
this way the saving is effected. Not SC
