Kodaks galore! Chaplin has come to

Three new students are enrolled i'll
the music department this week.
A large number of students attended
Presbytery meeting at Ithaca Wednes-
day.
Miss Bushnell has been unable to
meet her classes this week because Of
illness.
Fifteen members of the Saginaw Pres

brain racking examination before the
Presbytery Committee Tuesday and

The reception given by the lady mem
bers of the faculty in Ladies' Hall, Fri
day evening was very pleasant social
event. Music for the occasion was
furnished by Messrs. Davis and Wood
ward and was strictly up.to-date. Light
refreshments were served. The gentle
men of the faculty and students were
highly entertained.
G. M. Copeland of Detroit, the newly
elected state secretary of the Y. NJ. G..
A., was in Alma Tuesday night and de-
livered an enthusiastic address before
the association on 1.-THE Elements of
Success" He divided his subject into
seven parts; purpose, plan, preparation,
performance, perseverance, prayer and
power applying this both to the indiyid-
ual life and association work. Mr..
Copeland has just begun his duties as
state secretary this being the first col
lege association he has visited. The
fellows are much pleased with him.
The faculty of Alma College has de-
cided that athletics, rightly conducted,
are good thing for the institution, and
the College Athletic Association which
has official charge of all work done by
the track, football and baseball teams,
has endeavored TO direct the athletics OF
the college i'll only the most business
like manner. But, despite the strictest
economy (the geographical position OF
Alma, making its games with other in
situations unrenumerative, the associa-
ton has contracted some debt. This it
hopes to raise by an entertainment
which will be given in the chapel, Fri
day evening, April l6, at eight o'clock,
standard. The association invites all
its friends of town and college to come
and hear the funny men-Chapin and
Megaw. Among other features of the
program will be music by the College
Mandolin Club, and the grand "eclat'
Of the evening will be the artistic rendl-
ton Of Antony over Caesar Up-to-Date,
by members Of the association. Hear
Antony under modern conditions. He is a
winner, and will melt your hearts into
stone" Admission 20 cents.

Latest reports from the scene OF
trouble in Macedonia are TO the effect
that both sides will sue for peace. The
whole matter is being coolly dealt with
by both governments, though the rabblt
in each country is urging strife, espec'
tally III Greece, where ii is said that the
revolutionary society is stronger than
the government, and that included in It's
ranks are most of the soldiers and
officers, and that if worst comes &c
worst the order of the society will be
obeyed as against the order of the gov
eminent In this fact lies the main
danger, because the revolutionists care
less for the present Greek government,
care less for King George and his
dynasty, than they do for a chance to
carry out their dream of reunion of
the Greeks Of the Balkan peninsula and
the islands of the Aegean and the Medi-
terranean. They believe that with the
destruction of the Ottoman Empire the
great powers of Europe will be by the
ears and the opportunity for the estab-
lishment of Greek state will come.
Their hope will never be realized how
ever if the united powers of Europe
carry out the threat Of neutrality.

Silver has gone down again, and the

Silver has gone down again, and the
silver dollar is not worth more than
forty-eight cents. That means de-
cline of ten per cent. since the campaign
of 1896 opened, for then it was valued
at about fifty-three cents. The Bryan
fifty-three cent dollar has become a
forty EIGHT cent dollar. Meanwhile
wheat has refused to slump. 1t has
advanced decidedly. Wool has .isen.
So has the leather. Pork and lard are
higher. Rice has advanced little.
Cotton is not down like silver. Copper
and lead have gone up, so have many
other articles of merchandise. Even
whisky has just been advanced notch
by the distillers. In the face Of these
facts the popocrats and populists in con-
gress continue to assert that the only
way to make business and industry
flourish is to recognize the supreme en-
huence of silver as factor in the
markets and the possibilities of trade
They have given up the old claim that
there could be no advance in prices
without a corresponding rise in silver,
but they still cling to the delusion that
silver in some way regulates the world.
1t is curious case of perverse blindness
TO the plain meaning of business facts,
too big and solid for any one with fair
mental powers and real desire to know
the truth, 10 overlook or misunderstood.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates a
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
TO urinate or pain in the back, is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der are ont of order

Representative Tracey said: Il don't
think this bill will become a law
The letter of Secretary Carlisle to the
Senate yesterday, declaring that certain
statement of the account against the Pa
cific railroads could not be found, was
commented upon freely by some of the
Senators to-day. The information was
requested in Senate resolution, and now
that the Treasury Department cannot fur
nish the figures desired the Interior De-
partment will be called upon.
Regarding the alleged disappearance of
Government accounts against the rail-
roads, Senator Morgan this afternoon
said that the whole thing was very sur
prising to him. He had never heard, he
said, of such thing as a secretary of a
department being unable to find accounts
on file. He said that if the full facts
about the matter could be ascertaincd
he would certainly attempt to find them
out.
Senator Pettigrew said that in 1876 the
amount due the Government in this par
ticular was ST. 600, and that it had
probably swelled TO "a 600, 900 by now. He
also proposes to investigate the matter
thoroughly and to do all he can to probe
it to the bottom.

Railroad of Kentucky, Bell said, was far
from satisfactory. 1t had little or no
properly, he understood, and 1T was no
improbable thing to anticipate that the
company, finding itself burdened with the
proposed liability, would simply drop out
and be succeeded by some other corpora
ton not bound by the bill.
The accumulation of wealth by the pro-
jectors of these enterprises and the owners,
Bell vehementIy asserted, was matter
of interest to the public, and he denied
the statement of the gentleman from Yer
mont that it was none of the public's
business.
"If man by watering the stock and
adding to the burdens of the people gains
great richness, he is an enemy to the pub
lie, and ought to have no friend stand up
here for him, ana has no right to come to
Congress and ask for great and substantial
benefits" [AppIause.l
The matter, however, was a business
one purely, Bell said. as had been stated
by Powers. There were three propositions
under consideration. One was to take the
roads under the mortgage and operate
them. This he found Objectionable, as he
did also the second, which was to sell the
property and pocket the loss if any oc-
Cured. He particularly opposed the idea
of Government ownership or operation of
railroads; and if the Government was
going into that business he did not want
to experiment with these roads in thinly
populated part of the country. He re-
pudiated so much of the language of the
act of 1852 as imputed to Congress an as
sumption of the doctrine of ownership.
[Applause.]
The third proposition was one he recon-
mended as an amendment of the commit
tees bill-to extend theindebtedness of the
companies for reasonable period at
per cent interest, the corporations to give
the Government first mortgage instead
of second.
Grow (R.) of Pennsylvania addressed
himself briefly to the proposition adj
vanred by Bell, declaring it i'm practical.
The committee then rose and Bell pre-
sented a substitute for the committee
bill, in accordance with the plan outlined
in his remarks, and it was ordered
printed.
A substitute was also presented by Har-
rison Cd of Alabama, also to be printed.
