ATLANTIC LINERS CROWDED.

London, Aug. 80. This city is
crowded with Americans who express
an intense desire to return home and
are unable to do so. The steamships
offices are crowded to the doors every
day and The officials are worried out Of
their lives through their efforts to
satisfy applicants for passages. The
situation would he even worse if many
had not returned earlier than usual.
Even with the extra Tuesday steam
ers the Cunard line is turning away
many. In many cases extraordinary
sums have been offered for the cabins
or mere iberths
Every particle CT space on the
Oceanica, which begins her maiden
trip September 6, is already taken.
One hundred and fifty guineas for a
cabin is almost a common price.

NEW NORMAL COURSE
In Which a Year Has Just Been
Inserted.

The new course of study of the ter
made public. A new year is added to
the normal course which is so divided
that two years a3e given to the sub
normal and three to the normal proper
The addition does not add materially
to the volume of studies, but places
more of them in the earlier part of the
course, SO that mere time may be de-
voted to these of the Iat.5er end The
new arrangement offers advantages in
the way of classification in the cases
elf persons not quite prepared to en-
ter the class of a certain year, though
in advance CT the preceding year.
The course is prirEed on a con-
ventent sheet which at the came time
becCtmiels the record Of a pupil. The
record contains the name of the pupil,
that Oh his parent or guardian, post
office address, age, date of entrance and
Cate Of graduation. The course is
primarily divided into sub-normal and
normal. The sub-nOrmal iL.1o first
and second years and each into two
Semesters. The normal course prop
er is divided into Junior, middle and
senior years, and each year into two
semesters. There are ruled columns
at the right CT the course CT studies of
each semester in which, the attain
ms MT made by the pupil IS ind:cs.ted.
The record is made complete by a
showing of TIMES tardy and days alb
sent. Thus at graduation the record
will show the standing Of the pupil at
the end CT each half year CT the course

year of the sub-nOrmal

and, in my opinion, the action of the
court. no matter what it may be. will
precipitate the most dangerous crisis
France has had to face for many
years.
Speaking from general and I'M
prejudiced observation 1 would say
that in Marseilles, Lyons and the other
large cities of France, which are man
ufacturing centers and consequently
centers of socialism, the majority are
Dreyfusards. In the provinces and ag-
ricultural districts the sentiment is
against the prisoner. Paris is divided
in about the proportion of two for the
army to one for Dreyfus. The major
ity of the Parisians express the belief
that he will be convicted a second
time but there are practically no facts
at hand upon which to base that be-
lief.
FfWith scarcely an exception the
army officials really believe him
guilty. General Chanoine, minister OF
war under Brisson, who is a man
above reproach, told me, after he had
resigned that he believed Dreyfus
guilty While the army wants him
convicted to protect itself, it is sun-
doubtedly true that the officers really
believe that he should be convicted, be-
cause he is guilty! DEeyfus is aurleK-
ceedingly cold and insympathetic
man, who is not liked personally even
by those who are doing the most for
him In fact, it isn't a question any
longer of the guilt or fnnocence of an
individual, but the whole matter Is a
question OF race.
I'm the event of an acquittal 1 do
not believe that the anti-Dreyfusards
would precipitate revolution because
to do so would be for the majority to
rebel-an unheard of thing. And they
would be largely influenced toward
peace by commercial reasons and the
fear of making the exposition a fail
ure. But if Dreyfus is convicted l be-
lieve that another revolution will be
probable. The Jewish bankers would
first exert all their influence to OBJ
tain another hearing for the prisoner.
and that failing, the worst might be
expected

CONGRESS or BUGS

Not the least of the woes that are
go to the coast during the summer sea-
son is the annual congress of bugs
that gather in this city about the first
CT June and sits in continuous session
until the first of October The ses-
sions are unbrOken, no time being lost
even for committee work or meals.
As for the latter, the delegates, which
ale of variegated and multitudinous
variety, usually lunch wherever they
find themselves. If it happens to be
between the shoulder-blades of some
cOrpulent citizen who has to walk
around a block to get behind himself
so much the better. 1t has been as
serted that during the hot weather.
and more particularly at night when
the electric lights are burning, a man
can thrust his hand inside his shirt
bosom and capture almost any kind of
a bug known to science, except the
bed bug. The last named is a gentle
man compared with the rest of the
bug world and never bothers
one unless his own sacred pre-
cincts are invaded. He knows
his place and keeps it and
thus far has been too courteous
to take up a residence in this climate
The largest bug found here has name
so big it cannot be found in an or
binary dictionary, but the populaca
just call it an elephant bug for short.

profit by culture and the use of it on

it is filled with nitro glycerine or just

THE COAL SUPPLY.
Two Immense Consultations of Min
ing Interests Completed.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 30.-Two i'm
mense consultations of coal mining
interests have been completed here
within the last fortnight which VIII
mean much to the consumers of hi
luminous coal throughout the Mis-
sissippi and Ohio valleys and the great
lakes region. Neither CT the comhi-
as both will have active competition in
their respective markets.
One of the two is the Monongahela
River Coal and Coke company, and
will by October 1 have complete con-
troll and ownership of all the avail
able coal lands operated and unopened
between the first pool at Pittshurg and
Morgantown, w. Va, with the same
stream, the present head of slack
water navigation. The second is
styled the Pittsburg Coal company. 1t
includes what are locally called rail-
road coal companies, owning 102 con-
Germs and all their various interests,
including coal docks 81 various points
on the great lakes, five coal railroads
in the mining regions and over $4,000
acres of coal lands, most OF it in fee
simple. afsE
The total capitalization of the two
concerns will be s1O4, 100000, CT which
the railroad coal combination has S64,-
100000 and the river coal $40,000,000
The list of properties owned by the
two concerns is enormous.

Washington, Aug. 30.-The treasury
department uD to. this time has &C
cepted all compromises offered by
banks for the settl 9ment of fines where
examiners have found the banks in

stance is inadvertenc. Violations of
the law, however, have not decreased
as they should have done, and the de-
partment is on the point of adopting
a rigid policy. A heavy penalty is to
be imposed for every violation.

''At the time the malady of Ludwig

worst he gave orders that 80 Of his
finest horses should be put In the best

Professor j. il. Gore in The Ladies'
Home Journal. "When the report
came that no further Improvement
could DO made, he had them brought
into nm open field where every concclv-
able form Of noise making device had
been stationed.
"The horses were tied to posts, and
the king from m elevated stand gave
the signal that started the flare Of
trumpcts, the booming of cannon, the
firing of bombs and other outlandish
noises. The horses reared. plunged,
struggled to get free, and finally break

1t Is commonly supposed that when

a dressing gown which the princess

The archbishop was accompanied by
the Marquis of Conyingham and Sir
Henry Halford, and the difficulty they
experienced in getting admission to

A Latin professor was explaining the
derivation of our word "ostraciZo" to
his class In a local academy. lIc told
the story of the early Roman republics
and the schcmlng Of the politicians of
the times. He related how, when any
man In tho republic became obnoxious
to his ncighbors, they used to write his
name on an oyster shell Untln--ostre-
um, shclD, and on the receipt OF n
specified number by the consuls that
man was hnnishcd, killed or otherwise
removed IN some ono of those pleasant
ways the old Romans had. When he
had finished his explanation, lie said:
"Now, the boy here In the front seat,
what did we derive from the old Latin
use of the shell, which was called os-
