Stanton, wealthy young Englishman,
he represents thousands Of young men
in the world who fall an easy prey to
the snares of an adventures, who, af-
ter his securing all his money, with the
assistance of another miserable traitor
throws him over and turns her atten-
ton to the next man possessing money
with the intention of ensnaring him.
She and her accomplish are foiled, how

ruin of their dupe are themselves the
victims of their own plotting. The dia-

Rossmore as the adventures, Duncan
Preston, her accomplice, and Maurice

LECTURE BY PRESIDENT HADLEY
One of the Teachers Course Delivered
in College Street Hail.

One of the Teachers Course Delivered
in College Street Hall.
President Arthur IT. Hadley of Yale
university delivered an interesting lee
ture in College street hall last night
on "The American University" The
lecture was one of the Teachers course
Of lectures and it can safely be said
that it was one of the most interesting
and enjoyable that has been given this
year in the course. President Hadley' S
subject was one in which everybody is
interested and coming from one SO well
posted on the topic only helped TO IN
crease the enthusiasm
The attendance last night was the
largest of the season, nearly every seat
in the large hall being filled. In the
first part of his lecture President Had
ley spoke of the universities of the old
world and how they differed and com
pared them with those of the United
States, He said that in Germany the
students of the university seemed to
be sent there for the purpose of good
fellowship and for friendships sake
President Hadley said that Oxford
and Cambridge were the worst places
in the world for getting professional
training, but showed the worth in other
ways of the great English universities.
He gave his idea of what the typical
American university should be, show
ing what is necessary and unnecessary
In the seats OF learning at the present
time.
The lecture was the same as was de-
livered in New York about two months
ago by President Hadley.

ESCAPED FROM PRETORIA.
Arrival of Two British Officers a

| Arrival of Two British Officers at
Lourenzo Marquee.
London, April "a despatch from
Lourenzo Marquee, dated to-day, an
nounces the arrival there of Captain
Haldane of the Gordon Higlslanders and
| Lieutenant LIE Mesurier of the Dublin
Fusiliers, who escaped from Pretoria,
after perilous adventures. 1t appears
that after Winston Churchills escape
| the sentries We're doubled, an electric
| light was installed, additional barri-
| cades We're constructed, and the officers
| We're confined in the Model School al
| ter $3.50 D. M Captain Haldane says
| that after. several unsuccessful at
tempts, they succeeded in cutting off
| the electric light, but even then the
| street lamps precluded an attempt to es-
cape and they decided to hide in the
space beneath the building, to which a
trap door had previously been secretly
constructed, as it had been announced
that the officers would be removed else
where in few days, when it was hoped
the two men would be able to escape.
But the removal of the prisoners was
postponed, and the two men. in the
damp, subterranean dwelling, began to
despair, and commenced digging in diff
ferent directions, in the hope of finding
a suitable exit. The work was most ar
duous, as they had only a screw driver
and skewer with which to dig the
ground, which was as hard as rock. The
imprisoned officers, on March Is, heard
somebody above say the officers would
be removed the following day.
After passing twenty days under
ground, in cramped position, and sub
sisting on a little food and water sup
piled by some of their fellow prisoners,
who were in their confidence, their de-
light at the good news was indescriba-
BILE The following morning they heard
the officers above leaving. and all day
long the room was filled with curious
visitors looking at the clever caricatures
on the walls drawn by the prisoners.
When evening came, the noise ceased
and Haldane and LIE Mesurier crept to
the trap door They We're so weak that
they could hardly walk. But, gradually
recovering, they made their way to the
courtyard got over the ratings. and
reached the street.
