WOMEN AT MEMS COLLEGES.
There Has Been Large Increase
in the Number of Girls At
tending Yale.

Women are rapidly invading the do
main Of the men in college work in
America as they are competing with
the members of the sterner sex ABROAD.
The large number of women students
enrolled in the graduate department of
Yale at the present time calls attention
10 a feature of academic life which is
assuming larger proportions every
year. 1t was in 1892 that the educa-
tional world was some what startled by
the information that the corporation
OF Yale had decided to open its grad
uate department to bachelors of art
without distinction of sex, and there
were many forewarnings concerning
the failure Of such an iconoclastic de-
parture.
During the six years that the expert
ment has been under way the women
students have had to struggle against
innumerabe difficulties. but it is be-
lieved that at last they have established
their position upon permanent foot
ing. There is hardly any member of
the faculty who does not have a good
word to say in their favor, and even the
undergraduates are beginning to re-
gard their presence upon the campus
with indifference. The official cata-
logue Of the present year has not yet
been published, but it is known that
there are, at the present time, about 40
women St1Idente nj Xn1a md thara n 70
not lacking those who claim that it
would be impossible to find among the
$500 members of the university 40 stu
dents who contribute more to the real
scholarship of the institution, and who
are regarded with greater respect by
the professors under whose instruction
they come.

CHRISTMES.

Each season when the wintry snows return
 And summer fairies hie them to their deep, Warm beds amid the moses of the glen,
 The old traditions rouse them from their sleep To mingle with the lives of busy men;
 And sting their consctences until they learn Again the story of the mystic birth Of Him who brought glad tidings to the earth Who came to save-who came not to destroy And sang of hope and love without alloy,
 Good will to men-a thought for others pain To do to others ye would that they
 Should do to you, with not thought of gain To love your neighb0r, and 10 smooth the way For those who stumble, or with years are gray To take the little children by the hand And treat them they were an angel blnd To learn that who first stains an infants soul Commits one but of all sins the whole Though gray with centuries they yet are young As in the days when first the joy bells rung Their paean sweet into the ear of night Who shrank before the coming of the light With all her hordes of carnage and ot crime Recruited through the centuries of time
 And though the world may doubt and sometimes sneer' With deep insistence they have held their own
 And loving hearts remember year by year The ache and throb, to find that they alone Stood cold and shivering, and that no one thought How easily salvation might be bought How small thing would hll their life with joy With light and hope and love without alloy So let tradition, b 1t myth or true, Work its sweet will for once with me and you; Let the weet tFut hs that it repeats be heard In the close chamber till each heart is stirred Let the glad me sage heralded by Him By angeSs chanted and by cherubim- Grow in our hearts like lndia's mystic hower That bloomed and fruted all within the hour Lst us remember that the liv we live, Shall all be judged by Him who life did give, And once again in memory Of Him Make z ad the hearts of those whose sight Is dim
 Bind up he wounds of those whose life Is grlei- Strike one bright ray of sunshine through the gray
 Dull monochrome of want in strong relief beac,n light to cheer t on its way
 Feed the tired wanderer-bring the sunny smile And rlppliug laughter to the happy throng
 That crowds around the Christmas tree the while The " waits" outside recte the old old song
 {" For inasmuch ye did it unto me
 The same shall aye be granted unto yer

Miss Kate Currens, housekeeper at the
Golden West hotel, Third and Washing
ton avenues south, was shot three times
and dangerously wounded yesterday noon
by James Horkane, Of ReadsvilIe, Wis. AN
aged, gray-haired maniac guest, who i'm
agined that people were trying to poison
him.
Horkane is held at the central police
station on a charge of assault in the first
degree. He gave himself up to the po-
lice without resistance announcing that
he ought to have shot the woman
three years ago. The probabilities are
that he will be taken before the probate
court.
Miss Currens was taken to Ashbury
hospital and is expected to recover. An
examination showed that of the three
shots fired at her from a SS-caliber re-
volver, one had taken effect in the tenn
pie just over the left eye, about an inch
above the eyebrow, f1attening against
the bone. Another ball passed through
the fieshy part of the woman's right arm
just above the elbow, making a clean
hole, while the third bullet struck the
womans right side, fortunately inf1icting
result feared is the possible loss to the
woman of an eye, resulting from the
bullet wound in the temple.
Horkane is tall and rather gaunt, but
muscular. He has been in the city for
some time, he says, since January, and
on two or three occasions he has been
seen around police headquarters, where
he stated that he wished police protec-
ton, as people were trying to poison him.
He complained that in every restaurant
he went into, poison was placed in his
food and that poisoned goods were sold
him even when he went to bakeries He
appeared harmless, however, like many
other crankS with similar wheels and
little attention was paid to him.
Yesterday noon Miss Currens was at
work on the second floor of the hotel
where HOrkane's room is located The
sun was shining through a hall window
and she went to close 1t, passing the old
mans room. She had just closed the
window when he rushed out and asked
her what she did 1t for shouting that she
was one of the people who were perse-
cutting him and trying to poison him
With that he drew a revolver from his
pocket.
II never saw such an awful look in any
persons eyes in all my life before as he
had" said Miss Currens
He pointed the revolver at Miss Currens
who dropped upon her knees and begged
him to put it away. Once, twice, three

American Merchants Who Paid Dufv
Twice to Be Relieved.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Secretarv
Hay has called upon the Nicaraguan gov
eminent to refund to the American
merchants the amount which they were
illegally compelled to pay for port and
other duties during the Reyes revolu-
ton at Bluefelds Several American
merchants were made to pay these duties
twice, because officials representing the
revolutionists and the Nicaraguan gov
eminent were in control of different ports
at the same time. A temporary adjust.
ment was effected by the merchants pay
Ing the second tax under protest, with
the understanding with this government
that their rights would be respected, and
any overcharge repaid when Nicarag guam
affairs had assumed a. more satisfactory
condition. AS a result of careful investi-
cation the state department has now
requested Nicaragua to refund to the
merchants the amount illegally collected
by irresponsible officials. The state de-
partment has fully met the charges made
by Nicaragua that American merchants
were involved in the revolution inaugu-
rated to overthrow the government by
showing that, although some Americans
may have been in sympathy with the
revolutiorists, they did not take an
active part.
1t is the expectation of officials that
Nicaragua will now refund the overpay-
ments without further protest.

times he pulled the trigger and there was
only snap, for the pistol was empty.
Quicker than a flash the maniac returned
the revolver to his pocket and pulled out
another one, which he aimed at the kneel-
Ing woman, and fired three times in rapid
succession, while Miss Curren screamed
and the frightened people in the hotel
lobby rushed up stairs.
The day clerk said he knew at once
that the old crank had shot at some one.
said he:
we knew the old man was daffy. He
all the time imagined some one was try
Ing to poison him, even when he went into
saloons for a glass of beer. He would go
and buy doughnuts and loaf of bread
and take them up to his room and lock
them up in the trunk
TO reporter Horkano said last
night that he would be glad to make a
statement for publication. He explained
In rambling way, that he had beer. suh-
Ject to persecution for years from people
who were trying to poison him. He said
ne had at one time been a Iiveryman at
ReadsV1lle and had also been a farmer
Elghteen years ago he was divorced from
MS wife, whom he claims is now living
on $4,000 farm belonging to him. He
explained that the woman he had shot
was implicated in the conspiracies against
him.
The police wouldn't protect me, and I
mad to protect myself he added. This
conspiracy began when I visited friend
OF mine who keeps a hotel in Readsville.
He had special key of beer for me
which was poisoned. My wife and son
started the gang, which has developed
into powerful organization. They come
into my room at night and try to poison
me-"
When searched by the police $267 in cash
and two reyolyers were found on Hor-
kane's person. He appeared to feel nef-
Their pain nor pleasure over the shooting.
and, in fact, regarded 1t merely as a pro-
tect1ve measure taken by himself in his
own behalf.
Early in the evening Horkane was re-
moved from the central station to the in
sane ward of the county Jail.

Case Reported.

SALTWATER, July 25.-(Special.)-
Word was received here today of the
suicide of Roy Furber at Cottage Grove,
this county. Roy was son Of DR.. w. w.
Furber, and for some time had been de-
spondent over his physical condition.
While attending Carleton college last
winter he was stricken with typhoid fe-
yer and brought home. He recovered APP
parently from the disease, but he seemed
to think that his mind was affected, and
rather than become insane he chose sui
eide. He attempted suicide with chloro-
form about a month ago, but the attempt
was frustrated, and on Sunday he Sc
cured a quantity of poison and went to
the hay NOV, where his lifeless body was
found soon afterward. He was II years
of age The funeral was held from the
home Of his parents this afternoon.
