The Presbyterian synod has won its
case. The same faculty of Princeton
University that signed an application
for a liquor license for the Princeton
Inn, has now adopted a resolution for
bidding students to bring or cause to be
brought to college, or to keep in their
rooms any spirituous or fermented liq-
uors, or to frequent any place where
such liquors are sold as a beverage. The
last prohibition is the important one. 1t
puts the college authorities in the atti-
tude Of policing the students, many Of
whom are Of age, and forbids them the
ordinary personal liberty that Is all
lowed in practically every college in
America or Europe The faculty send
copies of this vote to parents and guar
dams, asking for their cooperation in
enforcing the new rule. They are very
apt to need such Cooperation and more.
This is about as conspicuous an instance
of the triumph of the spirit of the old
blue laws over modern ideas, as we can
call to mind.

The New York Worlds cartoonist
thus casts up accounts for Mayor Will
liam L. Strong's administration:
"Cr. Clean streets, better lighting, more
schools, lower death rate, improved
pavements, new small parks.-Dr.,
Rooseveltism, police board chickering's,
Chaos Coils, higher taxes" What
nonsense! 1t was Parkerism, alias Gro
kerism, alias Plattism, that caused the
trouble in the police board. That can
not be debited to Mayor Strong. 1t is
to be noted, however, that the old, ia
miliar cry about the appalling increase
of crime, owing to the reorganization of
the police department, is not now
charged up by the World against the re-
form administration. 1t is a very cred
liable record that the World man gives
Mayor Strong. Let us see If Mayor
Van Wyck will make as good one.

Africa a Bono Of Contention.

From the Lynchburg Advance: 1t
has been predicted that Africa would
be the theater of the great struggle
between European powers in the next
century, as America was in the last
two centuries. Bishop Hartell Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, after a
close observation of the situation, in
dorses the opinion. There are already
signs of the coming trouble. Germany
is watching British progress in Africa
with a jealous eye and only wants a
pretext to interfere in order to stop
that progress. The French are contin-
ually encroaching on the sphere Of
British influence, and though the
French government disowns the acts
of o~verzealous French officers, still the
government holds whatever they &C.
quire. Africa is a rich prize, and Eng
lish, Germans and French, to say moth
ing of Italians, will all seek to gain as
large a slice of the continent as pos
sible. 1t requires no prophetic powers
to predict that England will outstrip
all her rivals in the race. She has a
firm foothold now both in Egypt and
South Africa and every year is acqr W
ing additional territory. England is
the great colonizer of the age, and her
great naval power will give her an i'm
mense advantage in the coming strug-

Couldn't BE Fooled Twice,

There is a fox terrier of remark
b intelligence installed as ruling
factor in a very happy and harmoni-
u household up town. One of the
~favorite amusements of the terrier is
playing with a soft rubber ball. The
other day a member of the family
filled the soft ball with water. The
terrier pounced upon the ball, chewed
down on it, squirted the water down
his throat and dropped the ball. After
repeated efforts he emptied the ball of
water and enjoyed his play. The next
day he again found the ball full of
water, and for a while seemed very
disconsolate as he gazed sadly at the
toy. . He left it for a few minutes,
and then, rushing at the ball, deliber-
ately stepped upon it with one of his
front feet, and stood upon it until the
water was all squeezed out. Since
then no water has been put in his ball.

his career he was commissioned to
paint a "still-life' for an a%rt-lover of
Basic. The picture, consisting of sew

melon, was refused. The painter took

Last February the receivers of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad company de-
cided to adopt the double conductor sys-
tenn for all excursion trains in order to
reduce to a minimum the chances of an
accident. One conductor under this plan
is given entire charge of the running
of the train while the other attends to
the tickets and the comfort of the pas
sengers. The experiment proved success
full during the travel to and from the
Inauguration of President Mckinley, but
during the past two or three months it
has been thoroughly demonstrated that
its adoption was very wise. From Sept.
4 to Nov. IS inclusive, the Baltimore
& Ohio handle $4,000 people on Sunday
excursions between Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Washington and Atlantic City, and
owing to the care taken in the handling
of the trains not a single passenger was
killed or injured. Fourteen thousand of
this number were handled on Sept. 4.
