AUGUSTANA NOTES.


Among the recognized and prosper
ing organizations at the college is one
which has probably seldom if ever
been mentioned, namely, the Ling
club As its name signifies, it is an
athletic club, following the Ling sys-
tenn of gymnastics, a system, by the
way. that is rapidly being adopted at
our most prominent colleges and uni
versities, although it is only Swede
system. The clubs present officers
are: Leader. Rev. Phi. Andren, for
merly professor in the college depart
ment and teacher of gymnastics in an
eastern college: president. W. r.
Pearson: vice president, Frank Torn
holm; secretary. Felix Hansen; treas
urer, 4. r. Shelander. The club is in
good trim and we hope it will give 4
..way-up" exhibition next spring.
The Phrenokosmian society gave an
excellent entertainment last evening.
\ program, mainly musical. was rem
dered in the chapel, after which re-
freshments were served in the gymna-
SUM. The proceeds will be used for
paving, ut least in part, for the piano
lately purchased by the society.
The seniors have elected A. W.
Edwins as their valedictorian for next
spring. This was undoubtedly 4
good move on the part of the seniors.
Next Wednesday evening the last
entertainment of the Lyceum lecture
course for this season Will be given in
the college chapel, at which time DR..
A. A. Willets will deliver one OF his
humorous and intensely interesting
lectures. This will undoubtedly be
the best number of the course.

Blind Devotion.

The blind devotion with which an
old servant did his duty was illustrated
on one occasion when his master had Il
dinner party. During the dinner Henry
was very nervous and made two or
three blunders.
His master showed his annoyance
and cast angry glances at his servant,
but the poor man could not settle quiet
ly to his work.
AT last, when the dessert had been
placed quietly on the table, he stole
timidly behind his masters chair and
said:
"Please, sir, can you spare me now?
My house has been on fire for the last
hour and halfr' London Answers.

SENIOR BETANC0URT
MAY Be Asked to Explain the
Recent Proclamation.
Little Doubt that 1t Was Written by
Matanzas' Civil Governor.
Another Long List Of Volunteer Officers Ap-
pointed by the President.

Havana. July 16.-The pronuncia-
mento issued in the city of Matanzas,
signed "Eetancourt" and calling upon
Cubans II prepare to hurl from the
country the crafty eagle. as they had
removed the hauty and hungry Span
ish lion" il now believed by many TO
have been the production of the civil
governor of Matanzas. The reasons for
this view are not very convincing. but
Senior Eetancourt has not positively de-
MED the authorship. and ii is notorious
that he has expressed almost Identical
sentiments in the Havana cafes on
different occasions before American Off
GERS He once used language closely
resembling that of the proclamation"
in the presence Of an American gener-
al and an American colonel.
Both officers believe it quite probable
that he wrote the appeal. If not its
author. then. IN their judgment. he
was coEnizant of it and agreed to the
use Of his name. Many Cuban officers
of high rank are also satisfied that
Senior Betancourt was in some way in
timately related to the publication and
circulation Of the address to the peo-
Die Of Matanzas. Gen. Wilson. mill
tary governor Of the MatanZas- Santa
Clara department.. will doubtless ask the
civil governor for an explanation in
case there is no denial from him.
\ Cuban major called at the palace,
yesterday. to ask an interview with
the governor general. whom, he said
would ask to give him an appoint
ment in the custom house. Lieut..
Castle Of Gen. Brooke's staff. inform
ed him that he must make his appli
cation in the usual way setting forth
his qualifications and submitting a GER
titicate Of good moral character. To
this the Cuban officer replied that he
had earned the position by fighting for
the revolution and that if he did not
get it. he would take to the woods as
several others had done.
During the afternoon. another appli-
cant. a negro lieutenant. insisted on
seeing Gen. Brooke. in order to make n
personal demand for S75. He said he
needed the money and insisted on wait
ing After an hour or 50 the man ask
ed Lieut.. Castle for the loan Of 10
cents.
The Commercial says: "The worst
method Of treating the banditti is the
legal method. as it puts honest men
at the mercy of robbers and frontier
law The best method is to capture
them. let them try to esape. and then
Kill them. The reason why Mexico
now has immunity from bandits is that
she has followed this course"
Citizens and property holders at
Batabano have protested to Gov. Gen.
Brooke against the appointment of
Senior Martin Casuso, as mayor, owing
to the fact that he is a nonresident.
They have asked for the appointment
of Major Dubouchet. but Senior Rivera,
the civil governor insisted upon the ar
bitrary appointment of his own friend

AGAIN TIED UP.
Brooklyn Has Another Trolley
Strike On Its Hands.
Travel Greatly Distracted But Not
Equal to 1895 Strike.
Much Excitement But Police Are Able TO
HanjI the Situation.

New York, July 16.-Another trolley
strike is on in Brooklyn. SO far it has
not been as effective as the strike of
1895 but there is no telling how long or
far reaching it may become. For some
weeks past the employees on the several
lines controlled by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company have been complain
ing that the management did not live
up to the 10-hour law. The men de-
mand a revision Of the time tables at
the different barns and also claim that
they should be paid 20 cents an hour for
overtime which is equivalent to 81
day, the price which they set for
working day Of 10 hours. Meetings
have been held daily and nightly for
the last week and it was inferred
from the reports given out by the EN-
pluycs and their advisers since Thurs
day last that while a strike was immi-
nent ii would not occur for some days
to come.
General Masteyworkman Parsons and
District Masterworkman Pines had
charge Of the mems affairs, and
strike was called. at 4.30, this morning.
At this hour most Of the motormen
and conductors on the Brooklyn Trac-
ton COS. lines had completed their
night trips. and the leaders decided
that this was the most opportune mo-
ment to begin which was expected to
be q stubborn fight with the Traction
60. heavy rain storm was in evil
dencc at this time and -therc was very
little passenger traffic. The Smith
street. Franklin avenue and Hamilton
Ferry lines which are controlled by the
Coney Island Railroad Co. having
maintained the regular terms with
their employees was not impeded in the
least, but on all other roads the trans
portation was stopped for a while and
a good deal of congestion occurred in
consequence.
Shortly after tonight, 1000 police
men from the precincts in Manhattan
and the Bronx districts were conveyed
to the different barns and many were
placed along the several routes com
prising the territory covered by the
Brooklyn Traction Co. Up to 100
O'Clock. there We're few cars run over
these lines and those that were sent
out from the different barns were po-
Iced by two, three and four constablcs.
On the Putnam avenue line only few
men refused to work and it was notable
that scarcely a half dozen cars on this
division We're policed. The Flatbush
and Bergen Beach cars, the Nostrand
avenue. Gates, Ralph and Myrtle ave
nue. cars as we'll as the Third avenue
troleys had a meagre service in the
early hours of the day but traffic on
the old Nassau lines which comprise
the Fifth. Seventh. Park and Wander
bilt avenues. and Douglass and Butler
street roads was practically at stand
still
The men on the Nassau road were
most determined and not one of the
motormen or conductors was at work.
The cars remained idle for several
hours, but by 10 o'clock about one
tenth of the regular rolling stock was
working. These cars were manned by
inspectors and linemen and in fact oil

FOUR MOOSE AND A DEER.
Alleged Violations OF Game Laws In Northern
Maine Reach kineo.

Kineo. Me, July 15.-(SpeciaD.-An
investigation into the alleged killing Of
moose in the woods of northern Maine
is soon to be made 10y the fish and
game commissioners. There IL no
doubt but the moose and deer have
been killed and it remains for Mr..
Carleton and his Wardens to ascertain
the guilty parties. The latest Of the
numerous reports to reach here was
the story told by Chas. Smith and 10"
Zero. two guides who returned from 4
trip to Chesuncook, Friday.
As they were coming up the West
Branch of the PenObscot. at point
known as Rocky Rips, carcass OF a
large bull moose was found III the
water. \ second moose was found at
Lonely brook. Both had been very re-
Gently shot and none of the meat had
been taken Before the men reached
the Northeast Carry they met another
guide whose name is withheld. who
told Of seeing the carcass Of moose
1T Little Scott brook on caucomgo-
moe and another on the thoroughfare
on CouComGomocsis.
The killing Of the four moose. coupled
with the story told by Blackhawk
Palmer. two weeks ago, Of finding q
carcass on the West Branch should
make case strong enough 70 warrant
the wardens pushing north of Moose
head lake at times. Among the guides
at Kineo there is little doubt as II the
guilty party ana they wish TO see him
punished.
Another incident which comes 70 our
notice is that in which Tommy c'Dono-
hue. 4 guest at kinco, and the bear
were parties. Tommy shot the bear,
it was at Brassua. ana found that he
had 4 trap attached TO him which was
baited with a buck deer head. y
French Canadian is thought 70 be the
poacher in this last case.

Hot Weather Food.

The selection of food for hot weather
is an important question. We should
avoid an excess of fats, cut down the
butter ration and indulge more freely
in fruits and food easy of digestion.
One meat meal per day is sufficient dur
ing hot weather.
An ideal breakfast is Grape-Nuts,
treated with a little cream (Which, by
the way. supplies the necessary fat IN
a very digcstible form) a cup of Pos
tum Cereal Food Coffee, hot, or If cold
it should have little lemon juice
squeezed in: then some fruit. either
cooked or raw: also perhaps two slices
of entire wheat bread with a very thin
spread of butter. or perhaps little
Grape Nut Butter. which is different
article than Grape-NutS. a breakfast
of this sort is so perfectly adapted TO
the wants of the system that enc goes
through the heat Of the day in comfort
as compared with the sweaty, disagree
able condition of one improperly fed.
Once put in practice the plan will never
he abandoned during the hot days. for
the difference in ones personal comfort
is too great to be easily forgotten.
