COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
The l45th Year of Its Work Began Yes
terday.

New York, Oct. s.-Columbia Univer-
sity began its 145th year Of work today
In the chapel Of the university. Presi-
dent Seth Low presided. Concerning
the war with Spain, DR.. Low said; 1.-THE
college took her part in the struggle,
and some Of her names appear in the
death list, l rejoice that this action
on the part Of our men is true of every
college and university in the land Sc
ought 1t to have been, for every inter
est contributed to the country's well
fare, and colleges should ~ have been
behind. While it is sad to think of the
sacrifices that were made, there is an
inspiration in the thought that we have
Shown that colleges are the pillars OF
state in war as well as peace"
President Low said that the Spanish
conquest was really a triumph OF
schools. He referred to the great work
done by the navy, and said that the
victories were won by men who, as
rule, had never been in battle before
and who gained their success because
of their training in schools
There are 1000 students in the univer-
sity this year. This includes uni
versity, college Of physicians and sur
geons, Barnard college and the teach
erS' college.

INVESTIGATING BOARD.
Yesterdays Session Devoted to the Meth.
cd Of Examining Witnesses.

Washington, Oct. <s.-All the mem
bers of the war investigating commits
sion were present at today,s session
except ex-Gov. Beaver, and the an
nouncement was made that he would
be in attendance tomorrow.
Today's session was devoted largely
to the consideration OF the method for
the examination of witnesses, and in
this connection the question of admin
istering oaths was discussed at consid-
cradle length. The members general
ly took the position that under a
strict construction the commission had
no authority to compel witness to be
sworn by member of the commits
sion, but there was a general opinion
that the witnesses would not raise
technical objection. 1t was suggest
ed that the whole difficulty might be
avoided by getting the president to
appoint one Of the officers of the board
to the Office of a notary public, and it
is probable that the request would be
made.
Ex-Gov. Beaver was assigned the
task of leading in the examination Of
witnesses. The commission also re-
ceived several additional communica-
lions which received attention. Among
these was letter from Surgeon Gen
eral Sterpberg, inviting the commission
to visit his office. No action was Ia
ken upon this invitation.
At the afternoon session, several
complaints were read in regard to the
method of transporting men from San
tiago, the names of the vessels on
which it was alleged that abuses had
occurred being the Concho, the SEN
eca, the Breakwater, the Olivette and
the City of Washington. 1t was de-
cided to make a thorough investigation
Of this branch of the service, and
Chairman Dodge was directed to Sc
cure the names of the commanding Off
GERS, medical officers and representa-
tives Of the quartermasters depart
ment on those vessels. The commits
sion also decided to permit the pres
ence during the hearings of three ste
nographers as representatives of the
press, in addition to representatives of
the press associations. The commits
sion called at the war department late
today, and saw Secretary Alger, AS
sistant Secretary Meiklejohn and Ad-
jutant General Corbin for few min
utes. The call was purely personal

Mayor Ramsdell is again Mayor of
Lynn.
Two years ago he was elected by the
combined Peoples party, Democratic
and Citizens Reform party. He was
again nominated by reclamation by the
Democrats to succeed himself as Mayor
of the busy modern city, and was again
elected by a rousing majority last
month.
Mayor Ramsdells present high posi-
ton is the legitimate reward of his
ability and his fearlessness in defend
ing his opinions. He has never hest
tated to declare his convictions in
public, nor has he been slow to espouse
the cause of the shoemakers and other.
wage earners. In 1894 he was candi-
date of the Peoples party for Con-
gress. A hard worker, conscientious
official, Mayor Ramsdell has more than
once been pushed to the limit Of his
strength. At such times of extreme
nervous tension and overwork he has
saved himself from breaking down by
taking Paine's celery compound
Mayor Ramedell's honest opinion of
this great remedy cannot be mistaken
by any one who reads his letter that

The Register statement concerning
the signing of articles for a contest be-
tween Bruner and Ducase was correct,
the alleged correction" in the Intel
ligencer to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. The articles were signed for a
contest before the Bridgeport club.
1t was not stated in the Register that
the contest would take place there, but
it was stated that the match was made
as the result of an argument. AS a
matter CT course, there was not sutf
cient time to consult the officials of
the Bridgeport Club. The club has not
yet given a definite answer, but it
could hardly secure a contest which
would give more general satisfaction
to its patrons, if an opinion may be
based upon the exhibition given by
the bamtams before the Bea0out Club
