Clamorins for Entrance to Institutions
which Cannot Admit Them,

OlAMUTluR IOF EUlENuCo TO luktltuttUuS
which Cannot Admit Them.
The female cry for collegiate educa-
tion is so general and the facilities for
meeting the cry are so limited that the
College Women's Club of New York Is
endeavoring to secure the reinstate-
ment Of Evelyn College, the annex OF
Princeton University, which. for lack
Of funds, closed its doors a year ago.
Amazement may well be felt at the
rapidly increasing demand among
women for higher education. Thirty
years ago only two colleges for women
existed. Elmira and Vassar, Mount
Holyoke being then only seminary
Elmira's first graduating class num-
bered seventeen. while Vassars coula
boast only four learned young bach
elors Of art. Today single class OIL
Vassar numbers over 200 students
and, Notwithstanding the erection IN
1893 Of Strong hall, and in 1897 OF Kay
mond hall both large dormitories' also
the additional accommodations pro-
vided In the main building by the re-
cent erection of Rockefeller recitation
hall, and the presidents and sevefa'
professors houses, another new dormi'
tory must be built at once to make
room for the candidates constantly ap-
plying for admission. And this state
OF affairs does not exist at VassaF
alone. All the women's colleges are
telling the same tale. Smith College

more about to go up, and still there Is
not enough dormitory room for the

GENERAL WOODS RULE.

Proves tho Superiority of American Moth
eds Of Government
General Wood, who was given the
military command Of the city of San
tlngo, has already demonstrated In
the most brilliant wny what good nd
mlnlstration can do for Il region like
Cuba that has suffered for centuries
from hideous mlsgovernment. Our
governor found the city indescribably
filthy. He promptly opened the clog
ged drains; organized n STRENGTHENING
service; enforced compulsory rules for
the removal of garbage and domestic
waste; established II dlsinfection
corps in connection with an efficient
medical service; put the hospitals into
good working condition; cut the death
rate down 10 per cent. averted n yell
low fever epidemic that was consider
ed inevitable, restored, repaired, and
greatly improved the water supply; or
ganized an efficient general police sys-
tenn, discarding the hateful Spanish
uniforms. cleaned up the water front
and devised plans for the dredging and
permanent sanitation of the harbor:
established II strictly regulated relief
service for the benefit of the thousands
of half-starvcd people who returned TO
the city from the places 10 which they
had withdrawn in the period of hostil.
tiles; restored the administration of
Justice under his own immediate dlrec-
t!on; opened the schools and took the
children Off the streets. and In vari-
ETY. of other ways brought order out Of
confusion. II Is not necessary ut this
point TO digrcss by way of personal
praise of General Wood, who has
proved himself one of the most effec.
tive men that the war crisis has
brought TO the front. II Is enough here
to say that he set the standard at San
tiago, and that what has been done
there must not only be continued and
completed, but must, either by Gen.
cral Wood himself or some one else
be accomplished at Havana and AT
every other important town In the is-
lands formerly administered by Spain
that may come under the responsibility
of the government of the United States.
Brigadier General Leonard Wood Is
one of those effective, clean-cut. highly
trained Americans who can deal con
clusively with any task that presents
Itself, and who are not swerved from
the path of high duty by any selfish or
private considerations whatever. There
Is nothing factional nor partisan In his
ADMINISTERS live makeup, and there will
be no taint of iobbery where he is In
trusted with control. If we were TO
administer the Philippines we must
seek precisely Just such agents and
must intrust them with large dlscre-
ton. 1t is extremely fortunate that
General Wood, who Is a distinguished
physician AS he is also n renowned sol
der. has shown the War Department
exactly what an American military

ritory can accomplish for the welfare

GOLD AND HONEY IN A TREE.
Boys Make n Surprising Discovery on
Tennessee Farm.

Tennessee Farm.
From the Humboldt tTenn.) Jour
nal: Friday afternoon when some
boys who had been to the river bath
ing were returning home along the road
which leads to Colonel |. II. Dungan's
farm they found bee tree about
twenty feet from the roadside. Their
first act was to procure an ax and the
necessary fixtures for capturing the
honey. When all arrangements were
completed they proceeded TO cut down
the tree. Many were the licks II took
to fell the oak, MS II was perhaps about
four or five feet in diameter. and the
number OF grains running through the
wood numbered about eighty. which
proved this one TO he about eighty
years old. After the tree had fallen
they quickly lighted some rags. and
after the bcos had been smoked out
each boy made rush to obtain his
share OF the honey. They soon filled
a gallon stand and two or three
buckets. and as the last comb OF honey
was being taken down they saw some
shining object still further down in the
tree. They set to work with their Ak
and soon block was Clipped on large
enough to see the object better. and II
was found to be pot Of gold. the value
Of which was $1,000. Whose II was and
how II came to be there no one can tell
but II is supposed TO have been put
there during the war In 1865.

1t is universally agreed that even
homely woman who has mastered the
art Of equestrianism looks we'll when
in the saddle. When the rider is pret-
ty and sits her horse with ease and
grace of course the beauty of the pic
ture is much enhanced. Hence 1t is
that Mrs. Annie Benson, wife of pros
porous farmer living near Fowbles-
burg, Md. is regarded by all who know
her to be an exceedingly pretty sight
when seated on her favorite thorough
bred mare. Mrs. Benson is slender.
blue-eyed country-woman Of we'll
rounded figure and has been riding
horses almost ever since she can re-
member anything. She began riding
when she was 8 years old. and her
father used to put her on the back Of n

kicked and bitten by horses, thrown
out of buggies and had divers other ex-

difficulties which confront girls Just be-
ginning to ride: "The entire secret or
being a good rider, think, lies In not
being afraid of your horse. This Is the
one great essential, but there are some
other things Just as necessary to know.

less than a month. Twenty or thirty
died, and the rest we disposed Of as
best we could.
Another circumstance which pro-
duces the disease among army horses
Is the fact that great majority oi
them have been separated from mate.
with whom they have been accustomed
to work for years. The moment they
realize their partner is missing, they
go into the most abject mourning and
refuse to be reconciled. Time and time
again ! have seen horses literally
grieve themselves to death In an army
camp because their teammate was sep.
arated from them.
And when you come to think about
1t. the prevalence of the disease among
army horses is the most reasonable
thing In the world. AS IL the cast
with the volunteers, great majority
OF the war horses come from the coun-
try They were bred and raised in the
country, and until they were drafted
Into the service they spent their days
In the restful quiet of the farm. The
government prefers to buy country
horses both for political reasons and
because the animals are more likely
to be free from the pavement soreness
and other disorders which afllict city
horses. 1t also has It's buyers select
animals pretty well along In years
anywhere from Ave to nine years old.
When these rustic beasts are torn
suddenly from their rustic homes and
plunged into the hustle and confusion
or camp life. 1t affects them Just as 1t
does their masters who have enlisted.

The result Ia that the disease spreads

GLASS.

A change from old methods is that
OF fashioning glass by machine pres

In the pressed glass the articles arc
either made by hand or machine pres

much toward making glass articles
much cheaper than formerly.

there been changes In the method Of
glassmaking. From time immemorial
