Three of the five deaths of students
In Chicago University the past year are
attributed to actual starvation by Pres
ident Harper, who also affirms that in
every large university poor and ambi-
tious students sacrifice health, comfort
and life itself in the thirst for an edu-
cation. Startling as is the statement.
it emphasizes one of the greatest needs
of the age, a proper understanding Of
the chemistry of cooking. and the detri-
ment to mind and body Of unsuitable
or insufficient food. Two kittens of the
same litter were recently set apart by
a scientist and brought up under identi-
cal conditions, except that their food
was Numerically unlike. At the end
Of four months whenever the scientist
held out his finger to one, the kitten
rubbed lovingly against it; whilst the
other would bite and draw blood. No
wonder, says a witty commentator, that
around SOM family tables the women
scratch and the men swear.

Secretary of the Navy Long sent a
recommendation to congress for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for improve
ments in the battery of the cruiser
Chicago, and accompanying it is a
strong report of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, in which he points out
some weaknesses of the navy. Mr..
Roosevelt says: II earnestly wish we
could as seen as possible withdraw
from active service the cruisers fitted
with slow firing guns and substitute
ships with rapid fire batteries. At
present the real fighting efficiency of
ships like the Raleigh, Cincinnati,
Marblehead. Montgomery, and Olym-
pia compared with foreign vessels Of
the same nominal class stands high,
while the reverse is the case of ships
like the Baltimore, San Francisco and
Yorktown"

divers. The divers found a copper
cylinder used in conveying charg$s to
the six-inch guns. The fact that it had
exploded seems to show that there
was an explosion in the magazine for
fixed ammunition on the port side$for-
ward.
All the wounded men except two
are doing well. Paul Loftus and one
other will be taken to Key West to-
morrow by the Bache.
In the afternoon the court of in
quiry personally inspected the wreck.
By their invitation Capt. Pearl. ap-
pointed by the Spanish government as
a special judge to investigate the dis
aster, and his secretary, viewed the
divers ut work. Capt. Peral expressed
his appreciation of the courtesies
shown him by the court of inquiry.

Anew York judge has granted a wife
a separation from her husband for six
months, with alimony at the rate of
$40 a week. The plaintiff was a wife
30 years old, the defendant a husband
of 70. Doubtless the young woman feels
herself happy in being rid of the old
gentleman for six months, receiving in
the meantime $40 a week. At the end
of the first term Of separation she can
apply for an extension and the old hus-
band is not likely to survive many de-
crees of court. Anything is possible
under our divorce laws, and the prece-
dent set by Judge Gaynor of New York
may be extensively followed and separ-
alton take the place in court records
extensively occupied at present by the
disagreeable word divorce.

Captain Dreyfus in his disgracefu!
exile is a factor in French politics far
greater than he might have been if he
had kept his freedom. 1t is certain that
his guilt was not conclusively proven,
and he ought to have had the benefit
of the doubt in view of the magnitude
of his punishment. Governments can
not afford to be unjust, and the suffer-
ing of one innocent man because OF
hatred of his race may bring about
suffering to the nation which is respon-
Sible for his undoing.

Of agents from all over the world, and
among other countries Spain is repre-

to the Spanish flag by the workmen
and twelve Spanish flags displayed
above the works were pulled down

twcnty-four Spanish flags put up to
replace the ones torn down. This

New York, Feb. %. 1t is rumored
about Brooklyn that the Columbus dis
tillery, n of the largest Eastern dis
t%illeries, will wage war against the
Western concern, the American Spirits
company. That there is some basis of
truth for this rumor is shown by the
fact that Internal Revenue Collector
Moore has been petitioned to permit
the Columbus distillery to set apart a
building of its plant for the purpose of
selling alcohol direct to the druggists
and retail trade.

The Great wharf Burned.

Monterey, Mex, Feb. 23.-The new
wharf at Tampico, constructed by the
Central railroad under government
supervision, was totally destroyed by
fire Sunday. The fire started in a box
car. The construction of the wharf
was commenced in 1896, and it was
considered to be one Of the finest on
this continent. Its length was 1851
feet, and all is burned. The custom
house under construction and nearly
completed, was damaged to the ex-
tent of about 100000. The total loss
on wharf, custom house and merchan-
disc is nearly 100000; fully insured.

Just Previous to tie Disaster.
New York, Feb. 23.-The Ward line
steamer S%eguaranica arrived at quar-
antine from Tampico and Havana.
She arrived at Havana at 10 o'clock on
the morning of the disaster to the
Maine and passed closed by the wreck.
The passengers said that great excite
ment prevailed Mt Havana, and at the
time of sailing the foreign population
were generally of the opinion that the
Maine was destroyed by design. They
cited among other things in support of
this theory the fact that the Spanish
man-Of-war Alfonso Nil, which was
anchored near the Maine, changed
her mornings just previous to the dis
aster. One of the passengers, William
l.. Garbin. went so far as to say that
he saw a boat go near the Maine a
short time previous to the explosion.
He said he would go to Washington to
make a statement before the proper
authorities.

general. manager of a street railroad in
Philadelphia. one Of the passengers on
board the S~eguarancia was OutspOken

Havana would reveal
Some Startling Circumstances.

comb. mot at all in sympathy with
the insurgents, but on Wednesday,
when We got to Havana, l believe any
of the Americans on board was in a
mood to commit murder. The flags Of
the Spanish warship YER not at half
mast. The vessels of all other nation
alities had paid this slight tribute to
the dead. The contrast between the
bearing of the Spaniards and Cubans
is strong. At the funeral of the
Names seamen the Cuban women in
the streets were most all dressed in
mourning while the Spanish women
wore colors. The only American flags
1 saw in the whole procession were
two small ones about 3x6 inches. l
went aboard am Alfonso and was re-
ceived politely. The only expression
Of regret l heard there was from IN
officer who complained that the force
of the Msine explosion had broken his
toilet bottles. There can be no mis-
taking the Indifference Of the Span
iards in Havana yer the loss of the
Warship and those on board"

London, Feb. 23.-Six armored ves-
sells. six protected cruisers. thirteen
torpedo boat destroyers and five tor
pedo boats are now building in Great
Britain for foreign governments, Of
which a number are p~urchasable, al
though Japan is supposed to have an
option on several of them. The war
ships which have been ordered for
South American governments are con
sidered as being for sale to the highest
bidders. Thomson Bros. inform the
Associated Press that Spain has ar
ranged to maj the two remaining de-
stroyers Of the four completed some

not delivered, presumably owing to
lack of payment.
