The Menely Trio which gave two
entertainments at the G. P. church
last week was decidedly ahead of
anything in the musical line that has
appeared here for some time. These
people presented a perfectly harmon
ious combination of the logical, path
etc, and humorous, and the program
was all SO nicely arranged that wheth
or one appeared alone or all togeth.
er there seemed to be perfect .adap-
ton, and the effect on the audience
brought forth the heartiest applause.
Should they ever appear here again

Many Overdrafts on the Dover Bank
Were Made by Him.

The trial of United States Senator R. r.
kenney of Delaware, at Wilmington DEL
is developing interesting testimony. After
The Stars report closed yesterday William
Anderson of Philadelphia testified that in
the fall OF 1896 he received checks signed
by K. r. Kenney and deposited them in the
German-American Title Company. They
were paid on account of some houses which
Anderson, as contractor, was erecting for
William n. Boggs-
The proceeds of these checks. witness
said, went to pay for work on the houses
He identified various checks so given
amounting to $3.50 One check for $3.50
mentioned in the Indictment, he said had
never been given by Kenney. All the other
checks We're admitted in evidence.
George ]. Ritter of the German-American
Iltle Company testified to the transmission
OF the checks deposited by Anderson in the
regular course of business. The deposit
slips made out by Anderson, when he de-
posted the henney checks, were admitted
In evidence.
Letters transmitting the checks to Dover
through the Market Street National Bank
Philadelphia, identified by Charles J. SOM
ers, Jr., of that institution, were admitted
in evidence.
Senator kenney on April IL, 1896, had pur-
chased, at Sherifs sale, a farm in Kent
county for Boggs- BOggs, however. had
paid the sheriff percentage on the sale
ler, and Irving D. Boggs. the latter
at present teller of the bank, went
over Senator kenney's accounts in the
ledger in detail from May II. 1896. to
May % 1897. the date Of w. y. Boggs'
flight The balances varied. being as
low at one time cents. and
there was a large number Of overdrafts
The latter varied in amount from 46 cents
to S456-0I. District Attorney Vandergrift
sought to show that the latter figure did
not include check for $3.50 given to Cuth-
bert & Co, brokers, tOr stock margin
which Boggs had failed to enter, but OBJ
lection was made and sustained.
Some of the overdrafts, 1t was shown
were not made good until three days after
being entered on the ledger. Another long
contest ensued over the desire of the gov
ernment to compare Senator Kenney's
pass book with the entries on the Individual
ledger. but the court ruled that the prose-
cutiou had a right to do So Accountant
Ross made the comparison and stated that
they agreed. with exception of the four
checks which W. n. Boggs had stated that
ne did not charge in the ledger. The con-
sideration of these figures occupied the
court until $50 o'clock, when adjournment
was taken until today.

In themselves. The elevation of the COL
ieges and universities waits upon the de-
Veiopment of other institutions and of the
natural resources of the country If a
federation of higher educational institu-
tlons will help this elevation we should
nave it. Many colleges attempt graduate
work without possessing the means of do
ing IT. Very often colleges and universi-
pes come into existence by duplicating the
instruction of other schools when they are
not necessary, to say the least. Possibly
federation might be able to exercise a wise
restraint upon this tendency
Such federation would be useful in
maintaining high entrance and graduation
requirements. The federation need not be
made national in it's scope, to start with;
the distances of different centers from each
other might prove fatal to the movement.
Ihere is plenty of needed work which
such federation could do. This could be
done by discussion and cooperation. There
are many obstacles to be overcome. But it
is Well worthy of thoughtful consideration
and discussion.

ALTGELD ON IMPERIALISM.
His Speech at the Illinois Democratic
State Convention

The democratic state convention at
Springfield. Ill, yesterday nominated this
ticket:
State treasurer, Willard F. Dunlop
Jacksonville.
State superintendent of public instruc-
ton. Perry o. Silver of Freeport.
Trustees of the University of Illinois, Ja-
cob E. Seller of Mt Carmel, Napoleon B.
Morrison of Oden, Dr. Julia Holmes Smith
of Chicago.
The convention was held at the exposition
building at the state fair grounds. William
Prentiss of Chicago was both temporary
and permanent chairman, and A. c. Bent
ley of Pittsfield was secretary.
The chief incident of the convention pro-
ceedings was a bitter fight over the ap
pointment of the state central committee
in 1S96-Ben. T Gable of Rock Island and
Roger c. Sullivan of the fifth congressional
district The fight was carried into the
convention. where Cable was denounced as
a traitor, but the choice of both Cable and
Sullivan as committeeman was finally rati-
fed. it having been announced that they
would hereafter support the Chicago plat
form.
Former Gov Altgeld addressed the con-
ventiOn at length. He said in part:
I'VE are engaged in a war almost as
holy as that which we fought for our own
independence. This is z war for humanity.
The democratic party forced the present
administration 1t is our war, democratic
war, and il will add not only to the glory
Of our country. but to the mighty achieve
ments of the democratic party.
Providence designed this nation to be the
supreme mistress of the western hemis-
phere. and We must steer our vessel toward
this haven We must dig and absolutely
own the Nicaragua canal. We must acquire
the West India Islands, to round out our
southeastern boundary and perfect our re-
public. We must have harbors all over
the earth for the accommodation of our
fleets. of our navy, and of our shipping.
'On the other hand. we must prevent
those wild schemes Of conquest and plum
der, which contemplate the establishment
Of a colonial empire on another continent,
and under conditions which must result in
injustice and in gigantic scandals. Our
motto must be The natural development
and supremacy Of this continent. but op-
position to spoliation and conquest A
mighty Anglo-Saxon republic not a mon
grel ConglOmeration."
The ticket was put through without op-
position. For university trustee. Jacob E.
Seller of Mount Carmel was named by the
pOpulists in the fusion arrangement.
The platform indorses the free silver and
tariff planks of the Chicago platform: ia
vOrS an income tax amendment TO the Con-
sutution; demands legislat ton to more
clearly define the duties and powers of
courts in the Issuing of writs of injunction,
and the adoption OF national and state anti
trust legislation. The platform continues:
We reafirm the Monroe doctrine and
again pledge ourselves to abide by the ad-
vice of Washington. to keep ourselves free
from entangling alliances with foreign ma
tons.
We recognize William Jennings BRYAN as
the leading exponent of the foregoing prin-
ciples.

the rifle fire on both sides soon .ganed, and
from 5--oc clock to $50. when the action
ceased, the firing was confined almost eX-
clusively to the artillery
Our batteries soon got the range and
poured shells into the Spanish entrench-

HIGHER EDUCATION
Nicholas Murray Butler Defines the
Status Of the College.
RAISING ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Various Views on the ACCESSIBILITY
of Shortening Courses.
NTER L S TIN G. I'D i A S

The department of higher education met
in Columbian University Hall, and was
called to order by President R. H. Jesse of
the University of Missouri. DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia University pre-
sented a paper on the question, Should
the undergraduate curriculum Of four
years in colleges and universities be short
ened by allowing such freedom of elective
in the junior and senior years that bach
elor degree and a professional degree may
be obtained in six years." Prof Butler is
probably the originator of this plan of ar
ranging studies in Columbia University,
and has always maintained a deep interest
in the workings of the system. Prof. But
Ter referred to the necessity of a course,
broad. liberal culture preparatory to pro-
fessional training. There are only twp
strictly professional schools in America.
the Howard law school and the Johns Hop
kins medical school-using the .erm in the
sense of schools which cannot be entered
until q college course has been completed.
Too Many Schools.
He said We have altogether too many
schools of la and medicine in America,
many of them being carried on as private
investments. which bring large returns to
the proprietors. They admit students. very
often, without any liberal education what
ever. The time has come when law and
medicine are no longer learned by prcfes-
siCnalS The college seeks to p ace Il lib
eral education underneath the profasS.o .onal
training The college stands between the
preparatory school and the professional
course, and must show that it can fill the
time in such way as to compensate for
