desire 70 withdraw from the duties of my

FRESHMAN AT HARVARD.
What He Must Do to Become An Old
College Man.


CIansas City Starr
Harvard University, Cambridge,
Mass.-The college man of so years ago
and the college man of today are as
much unlike as it is possible for two
human beings to be. The old man VINO
looks back upon his college days at
Harvard Just prior to the war will be
much astonished, not to say disap
pointed should be visit the university
now He will find a great change in the
customs of the students Instead Of q
crowd of merry, fun-loving and fun
seeking students he will see gathered in
the lecture rooms and recitation halls
a strange assembly of the old and the
young. Men with boards sit side by
side with boys still in their teens, and
griZzled heads bend in deep perpleXity
over the same texts that a blue-eyed
lad reads so readily. Harvard is no
longer a mere finishing school for rich
mems sons, but is Mecca of learn
ing, where the poor and the rich, the
young and the old meet for a common
purpose.
But there is still plenty of pleasure
and diversion in the life of the aar
ward man, though the fun is of differ
ent sort from that INDUCED in in the
old days. 1t is no longer deemed joke

but there are other ways for the men
to enjoy themselves, which are as
amusing though not so exciting and
one of the ways is worrying" the
freshies.
It is the recognized duty of sopho-
mores to give every possible annoyance
to freshmen, and the duty is carefully
attended to. The freshmen begin ar
rinving at Cambridge about Sept. 20, 10
days before the opening of the collegi-
ate year. AS a rule they are a raw set
of boys, away from home for the first
time in their lives, and they fall; easy
victims to designing "Sophs''
The first thing the freshie has to do
after reaching Cambridge is to find a
rooming place; then he must look about
for board. At the office of the college
secretary the freshmanis provided with
a list Of rooms for rent, and, armed
with this, he sets out to find a place
to suit his tastes or pocket-book. His
'Soph friends go along to help, and
they steer him to all. the least desirable
places first. The freshman goes to a

A Mean Political Trick.

'All this political excitement recalls my

troiter who now limits his practical poll

favor of keeping him. But of course there

convention l was nominated.

STORIES OF STARVATION.

The Cuban Consular Reports Sent to
Congress.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The consul
lar correspondence, with regard to the
situation in Cuba, which was trans
mitted during the day, was prepared in
response to an inquiry by both house
and senate. The correspondence was
prepared for transmission to congress
just before the blowing up of the
Maine, and. having been held up since,
now includes communications up to
April l..
It contains communications of Gen.
eral Lee at Havana, Consul Brice at
Matanzas, Consul McGarr at Glen
fuegos and Consul Barker at Sagua la
Grande. The communications make
about 30, 900 words. They deal largely
with the distress and suffering which
exists in all the districts. But General
Lee writes quite fully upon the DEGREES
of the government in regard to auton-
omy and other political phases of the
situation.
In preparing the correspondence for
transmission to congress considerable
portions of the important communica.
tons, and especially those marked con-
fidential, are omitted. The resolutions
to which they are the response in each
instance asked only for such corre-
spondence as it was not deemed incom.
patible with the public interest to
make public. j

THE gubernatorial situation i

THE gubernatorial situation is
changing almost daily. Van SAINT,
who has the backing of the So
called machine element had the
lead in the start, bat seems to be
losing ground for some reason or
other-perhaps on account of the
heavy lead he is carrying. The
Mankato convention developed a
very strong feeling in favor of
Mayor Eustis, and that gentleman
and his friends are using that fact
to great advantage. 1t seems to be
understood among many of them
that if Eustis can carry Hennepin
county he can be nominated. He
is now devoting his time towards
a thorough canvass Of Hennepln
county, and runs very good
chance of receiving its support. In
the meantime Judge Collins friends
in the Sixth district are working
very vallantly. The Seventh dis
trict has great deal of Collins SEN
timent in it, and the prospects are
very good for Collins boom in
that district. With the Sixth and
Seventh behind Collins and the
Fifth behind Eustis and the south
ern part of the state split up be-
tween Eustis and VanSant, the sit
uation is anything but pleasant for
those gentlemen.-Delano Eagle.
