PRINCETON. N. j., March 7-Following the re-
moval Of tho World from the theological semi
nary reading rooms comes another setback for
tho new journalism. A young woman, with the
external appearances Of respcctabnity, camo
here last week, representing the World, sup
posably to pry into tho family Affairs Of ox-
President and Mrs. Cleveland, as she made sew
eral visits to tho new Cleveland house-as far as
the front door, that Is. Finding time heavy on
hor hands she conceived the brilliant idea of
having a STORY manufactured specially for
her In the college.
As she knew nobody connected with the insti.
tuition II was not an easy matter to get at this,
but the new journalism woman was not TO be
daunted. She is the same woman who went out
in Fifth avenue at night to get herself accostcd
by mon, and write q story about IL, two or three
years ago, and SO is an adept at making acQuaint-
ancos In an informal manner. Following this
method she made tho acquaintance Of q number
OF sophomorcs who were strolling down town.
This practice, in the case Of certain women II
known as being picked up" Tho female new
journalist, then, having been picked up, sug-
gestsd that she would Like to sec the college
grounds; she did 80 want TO see what It was
like; she'd heard 80 much about It, but had
never been there before, and so forth. Now, ths

same proposition they'd give him an education
that he'd remember TO his dying day. The female

find out tho names of the sophomorcs and

done it. The feeling against II is as strong
