Poet Poe Not Expelled from College.


William II. Browne writes the fol-
lowing letter TO the Baltimore News:
II see a paragraph going the rounds OF
the papers to the effect that 1t is re-
markable that Edgar A. Poe should be
honored by bust erected in the uni
versity from which he was expelled. At
has been shown again and again that
Poe was never expelled from the Uni
versity of Virginia. Mr.. J. Ii. Ingram
the author of a well-known life OF the
poet, wrote to Mr.. william Werten
baker, secretary of the faculty, to In
quire about Poe's conduct and stand
ing, and that gentleman. who was
librarian during Poe's residence and
knew him well, replied, not from men,
ory only, but after searching the rec
ords, that at no time did he fall under
the censure o. the faculty. Mr.. Wood
bury, another biographer. says that
during Poes residence he did not
come under the notice of the faculty

The Collar For the Shirt Waist.

The turnover linen collar has firm
hold on popular favor, but the latest
designs are cut to turn up in the back
and down in front and on the sides.
These will be worn with the silk shirt
waists of the winter. These waists
are simply made with clusters of cord
ed tucks. A model always popular
has three box-plaits down the front,
but this season the pluits are made of
corded tucks. Prune and yellow seem
to be the popular colors for shirt
waists; yellow. trimmed with rows of
mauve or purple velvet ribbon, is

basic belt of the sugar beet industry
may be regarded as included between
the limits of the isotherms Of u and SO
degrees, the best results being obtained
within or north of this belt.
Many western and southern farmers
regard grinding cob and corn together
for feed as improbable, but in New
England it is a common practice.

Wireworms are the Larvae Of the

them frequent plowing and narrowing
is the usual course.
