Marriage and Tristnn.

After a rehearsal OF Christian and
Isolde at Bayreuth, Hans Richter
was asked If he had been salts,
fed, to which he replied: "The
love motif, which the 'cellos
have to give out, was played with too
little fire. Evidently they must all be
married men who executed it so phleg.
matlcally," And Richter was right.
for there was not a single bachelor
among them.--Argonaut.

A Cold weather Fabric.

Among the first displays of cold
weather fabrics are fannelettes, which
are shown in bright and artistic color
ings. These are made up principally
into negligees, bath gowns, kimonos
and under petticoats. The palmer
stripes and checks may be bought for
ten cents a yard, but the more elabor-
ate patterns in fine quality are sold
for thirty cents.

That Miss Jane Harrison should
have been elected to fellowship at
Newman College, says the Westmin-
ster Gazette, will surprise no one and
is an additional distinction in the hon
orable record Of NEWMAN. For Miss
Harrison has better grasp on sub
jects archaeological than any other
woman in the country, and few men
are her peers in this respect. And
that she combines n graceful and gen
ial manner with her deep learning Will
stand the new Fellow in good stead
in her academic surroundings where,
in the early days of the college, she
was one Of the pupils under Miss
Clough. TennysOn's Princess comes

Typical Rooms in woman

College rooms vary, like college for

the transformation even a bare single

young collegian takes possession, al
though her purse strings may not be
lengthy. AT most of the women's
colleges the student draws for choice,
and If her luck is not in the ascend
ant she must make the most Of her
lot. This she hastens to do, by con
sulting the college furnishings man,
who always holds out near by; through
sending home for a supply Of wants;
or by making various purchases and
fashiOning from them all sorts Of dec
oratiye articles, from portiere to a
pin-cushlon. The old student has had
the question of rooms settled before
she went home from the long vacation;
it is the incoming Freshman who has
the hard problem to meet, and fortu-
nate is it for her if she has seen other
students roms previously, ana gained
some idea of what she needs in her
new abiding place.
An amazing variety Of tastes and
fancies displays itself in the differ
ent collegs, but certain things are as
surely to be found in the students

JUDGE FREER wIrHpRAws.

There are more ways of killing a dog
than choking him to death on tender
loin steak. The same applies to polit-
tcal candidates. Dispatches from Nor
gantown announce that Judge Romeo
III. Freer is ''out of it, because he fail
ed to keep his engagements in Preston
county on time. 1t is said Judge Freer
was i'll, but it is intimated that ais in
ability to meet his engagements was
due to circumstances not creditable to
the Judge.
Although the instant the charges
against him reached his ears Judge
Freer withdrew from the race for the
Republican nomination for Governor,
the public, especially the numerous
friends of Judge Freer, will be inclined
to suspend full judgment until some
thing more explicit is heard from
him. His political enemies. es-
pecially in his own party, are
numerous, and have not been over
scrupulous in the campaign against
the old soldiers Independent ca1Gi-
dacy, as has been demonstrated not
infrequently of late.
AS to why he was unable TO meet
his Preston engagements the Register
also prefers to suspend judgment
until Judge Freer is heard from. Many
people will prefer to accept Judge
Freer's word to that of his opponents,
especially since emissaries of the lat
ter are accused of enticing Judge Freer
from the straight and narrow path
Meanwhile it is serious question
whether this does not hoist the Hon.
A. B. White out of the frying pan into
the fire. Freer's friends are talking
loudly of substituting for him Hon.
Nelson E. Whitaker, of Wheeling.
And it is matter of strong doubt if
the Internal Revenue Collector could
beat Mr.. Whitaker in the Republican
State Convention a whit more easily
than he could Judge Freer. The lat
ter is exceptionally popular with The
rank and file of his party, but SO is
Senator Whitaker, clean and able
man, who would prove a tower of
strength for the independent Republic
cans who are on the trail of the ring.
