Astonishment may well be caused by
the vote of the faculty of the Harvard
law school to admit Radcliffe students
to the law lectures, for although tie
girls college has been encouraged in
many ways by the officers of the uni
versity, it has nevertheless been held at
arms length, and the two institutions
nave been kept separate and as indie
pendent as possible. This vote must
yet be confirmed by the corporation be-
lore II can be operative, and as yet
there is no provision for comforting de-
grees upon women students of the law.
AT the same time, this looks like the
entering wedge of co-education at Har-
yard, so far at least as the profes donal
schools are concerned.

three kodak f1ends who were taking a
snap shot of himself and wife and Mrs.
Hermann Oelrichs, on the street, at
Newport. He didn't get the camera as
he meant to do. but it wasn't the fault
of the kodakers if they failed to get
some highly interesting pictures.

1t is a great day for Ireland when a
boat named Shamrock, and owned by
an Irishman, can beat the daylight gut
of craft called Britannia, belonging
to the Prince of Wales.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-20

The Shamrock seems to have proved
herself much faster boat than the
Britannia, but American experts are
rating the Columbia a few minutes
faster still. Yet there are doubters in
New York. who disparage the new cup
defenders abilities. 1t may be taken
for granted that neither boat has yet
done it's best, and a few more races are
needed before opinions can be ex-
pressed with confidence.

The Carnegie company's contract to
supply $144.0o0,OOO worth of steel plates

said to be the largest ever awarded to a

crease in the demand for these new
tangled cars. The company that makes
them will soon have four plants in oper-
alton, giving employment to 10000 men.

Hon. Albert e. Pillsbury of Boston
deserves commentator for placing a
tablet on the humble cottage in which
Horace Greeley was born, at Amherst,
N. H., So years ago. Considering that
the founder of the New York Tribune
is the only man of national reputation
ever produced by the town, it may
seem trifie odd that the people them
selves should not have done something
to commemorate his fame.

Satisfaction is to be found in the
agreement of the American marine hos
pital experts and others that the true
germ of yellow fever has been discov-
cred by Prof. Sanarelli of Montevideo,
Uruguay. Although the serum pre-
pared for the treatment of the disease
seems not to be entirely efficacious,
there is nevertheless a distinct ad-
vantage in having specific base from

question of time and experiment when
a cure or preventive will be found

Benjamin Ide Wheeler, a Massachu-

Punishment by Stripes.
,dltor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
On youthful minds, which have no con-
ception of the significance Of laws or the
dignity of courts. a good, sound thrash
ing will make a far deeper and more last
ing impression than all the fines and jails
in ChristendOm.
The above is the conclusion Of an arti-
Gle, headed Punished With Stripes" in
your issue Of this morning
You are right, as you almost always
are, I'm what you say. but you do not so
far enough. youthful minds" nova
days are by far more mature. even at Il
years OF age. especially i'm things that
have a tendency to wrong-doing, than
men and women when you and / were
boys.
In the case spoken Of in your article l
can conceive of no reason why the girl
should not have had a castgation as well
as the boy. except that our chivalrous
ideas exempt the female from corporal
punishment-ideas inculcated in an age
when parents kept their daughters. with
Watchful eve and affectionate authority,
from the communicating and degenerating
influences OF the new woman doctrine
and practices Of to-day. When Mother
Eve violated the law she received The
same punishment as did Father Adam
for the same offence.
The legislative act providing for the
punis hment by stripes of offenders under
IS years OF age is inadequate. Adults. IN
most things. are but overgrown cnlldren,
and as most children under our present
grow-up-as-y system are past
masters in the knowledge Of evil, It fol-
lows that a law for their correction
should apply to those who are older than
they only in the number of years, and
that the children may witness the pun
ishment as a warning. Besides. the tax
payer. then, would not have to support
so many people I'm the jails Of the State
i'm this city. especially. OLD FOGY.
