CO-EDS WIN.
University of Pennsylvania Puts Wo-
men on an Equality With Men.

University of Pennsylvania Puts Wo-
men on an Equality With Men.
Philadelphia May 4.-The board of
trustees of the University of Pennsyl-
vania has decided to offer under grad
uate courses for women in every way
equal to those now open to men and
which are to lead to the same degrees
now given to the latter students.
The authorities have had this matter
under consideration for some time and
considerable influence has been brought
to bear on the trustees of the UNIVERSE
ty to gain their favorable endorsement
of the proposition
The movement has been given impe-
tus by the success that has been at
tanned by Cornell university, which is
probably the only large university
where co-education exists on very
extensive scale.
To assist in carrying out the action
of the board, Col. Joseph NJ. Bennett
has presented to the university four
houses on Walnut street, adjoining
Bennett hall, located at Thirty-fourth
and Walnut streets, the value of which
including the ground, is said to be $780,
O00 These buildings will be RACED and
in their place a structure is to be
erected to be devoted exclusively to the
needs of the. women students. The car
rying out of the project, it is said, will
result in property and building worth
about $500, 900.

NEW YORK'S LIGHT VOTE.
Less Than One-Fifth of the Voters
Have Enrolled for Primaries.

New York, May 4.-Less than. one
fifth of the voters of Greater New York
had filed their declarations under the
new primary elections law when the
bureau of elections last night closed its
doors upon the last but one of the days
designated for enrolment in the vari-
Gus party organizations. Only 10000
names had been registered from the five
boroughS, and if on May 10 the final
chance is not more generously en-
braced the vote at the primaries June z
will be the lightest cast for many years.
OF the 10000 already on the rolls fully
SIS, 900 are presumed to be the names of
Democrats, and the remaining $4,000 di-
vided between the Republicans and
smaller parties. The Platt machine
men claim to have filed 10000 declara-
tions, while the ants are modest and
fix their claims at half that number.
It seems doubtful if the Platt men
have enrolled more than 10000, as
against an alleged $4,000 "a year ago.
while political experts say the ants
viii have done well if they have 10000
on the lists.

FELL OVER IN A FAINT.
William Ely, an Old Soldier, Has a
Bad Spell With His Heart.

William Ely, an old soldier living in the
southwestern part of the city, and father

CLERKS TO WORK SUNDAY.
Mail Between Boston and New York
is HeaVv

Boston, May 4.-Beginning next Sun
day the railway mail service clerks who
handle the mail that goes between Bos-
ton and New York will have to work
every Sunday so as to send the mail
on the 4 o'clock train from Boston to
New York and on the 4 o'clock train
from New York to Boston. The mail is
accommodating to such an extent that it
is deemed inadvisab1e to let it remain
for the Monday morning dispatches.
The clerks will have to report for du-
ty on the same schedule as for week
days, but, as there will be no collections
along the route, they will be required to
work at the railroad stations in Boston
and New York only. Eight clerks are
affected by this order. They will re-
ceive no extra compensation for their
extra work.

HAMPERS THE BOARD.
Reformatory Directors Cannot Trans
fer Inmates to the Penitentiary
Saws the Board

The appellate court has ordered the
release of Dennis Dumford, who is con-
fined in the penitentiary on the techni-
cal ground that the board of directors
of the state reformatory have no au-
thOrity to transfer a prisoner sentenced
to that institution to the penitentiary.
Dumford was sent to the reformatory
because he was too young to be sent to
the penitentiary. His crime was the
theft of a quantity of bread tickets, but
he had been in trouble many times be-
fore. His parents are respectable peo-
pie, but the boy has long been incorri-
gible.
This decision will somewhat cripple
the work of the reformatory board. 1t
has been the custom that when a priS-
oner became refractory he would be
sent to the penitentiary. This decision
of the appellate court puts a stop to
this practice forever

The way in which kidney diseases are

were it not far the fact that at the

the natural remedy for all disorders of

While working on new lines, with new
ingredients, John Morrow, the noted
American chemist, discovered Morroyv's
KidneoidS, and they are rapidly becom-

kidney disorders soon as the evil an

WEYLER's BRorHER-IN-LAw.
Was Among Those Captured on the
Argonauta-

Key West, Fla, May 4.-The Span
1sh vessel Argonauta, Captain Lang
captured last week was conveyed into
Key West harbor by the United States
cruiser Marblehead It appears that
Colonel Vincente De Cortiio, Of the
Third Spanish cavalry, who, with nine
teen other army officers, was taken on
the prize is a brother-in-laW of Lieu
tenant General Valerino Weyler. Col
onel De Cortijo denies this, but it is
learned from good sources that he sus-
ta1ns this relationship to the former
governor general of Cuba.
Colonel De Cortijo and the other off,
GERS were transferred to the Guido, and
the privateS to the Ambrosia Bolivar,
two other trophies of the first week of
the war that are still lying in the har-
Dor.
The Argonauta, herself is no mean
prize, being of a thousand tons burden,
but the value of the capture lies mainly
IN the prisoners of war and the mail
matter going to General Blanco. Her
cargo is general merchandise, with a
large quantity of ammunition and sup
plies for the Spanish troops in Cuba.
The only other incoming prize was
the little fishing schooner Antonio Y Pa
co, taken by the gunbOat Newport, off
Mariel yesterday, and toWed in by the
gunboat Castine.
The Castine has proved her prowess
as well as the more redoubtable ships
of the squadron. At o'clock Sunday
morning she went into Cabanas and
anchored only about a mile from the
Notifications, which are a sort of COM
posite of fort and blockhouses. Then
she sent her steam cutter in about half
a mile, until it was within a thousand
yards of the fort. There the cutter
made SOundingS and observations for
half an hour or more, after which she
returned to the ship unmolested. A
number of persons We're clearly OBJ
served about the fort. They watched
the operations with apparent interest

ENGLAND HOLDS GOLD.
American Demand Ceases, But Bank
ers Prepare for Further Drain.

London, May 4.-The money market
was considerably easier, the American
demand for gold having ceased and gold
flowing in from all quarters.
The Bank of England stock of gold
is estimated at 833, 900, 900, and the fact
that the bank bid 77.9A for African gold
has given the impression that it antic-
ipates a heavy drain later.
Business on the stock exchange has
improved practically in every depart
ment, the exception being the collapse
of the Bottomley group of West Au-
stralia mining shares, which resulted in
nine failures. 1t is not unlikely that
other defaulters may be declared Tues
day.

Governor Black Says the Power to

New York, May 4.-Gov. Black has
disapproved the New York city teach

and they sought to correct the unwise
practice named. Their success was
considerable, if not complete.

which legislation is now asked wholly
within the power of the city authorities.
