M WESLEYAN CO-EDUCATION.
Eighty-Three Per Cent. of the Alumni
 Oppose the Present System.

Eighty Three Per Cent. of the Alumni
 Oppose the Present System.
 Middletown, Conn, March 1.-The committee appointed last year by the Wesleyan Young Alumni association or New York to investigate the question of co-education at Wesleyan has sub mitted it's report. The report finds strongly against the present system, under which the proportion of women in college rose from ' per cent. in lSSS-9 to 2S per cent. in 1S9S9. The report adds: "Unless measures are taken to check it, this increase of women over men is likely to continue until the rau- ical developments result in trahSIof- nation into a woman's college.
 The committee found, on application to the alumni of Wesleyan that S3 per cent are opposed to the present system But, recognizing that it is impossible to eliminate that system at this time' the committee recommends the estab- lishment as soon as possible of system of coordinate education, women s college organized within the university, where the young women may be ar forded equal standards, opportunities, and degrees, but a distinct collegiate and special life" The report is meet ing with great favor among the under graduates at Wesleyan. It seems to be the only practical solution or the question. Even the undergraduates recognize the fact that the complete busting of the whole system of co-edu- cation is out of the question

LorIsIANA,s sTArE GUARD.


 The military review of Thursday has demonstrated most conclusively that the State militia has once again resumed its normal strength, from a numerical standpoint As result of the war with Spain the militia was seriously depleted, as most of the force absorbed In the volunteer army. After the war there was a time when little disposition was manifested to re-enter the State mili- tary service on the part of our young men, partly because many got surfeit of militarv service during the war, and partly to the periodical but utterly in applicable wane of military enthusiasm.
 While the militia was lat low ebb for a time, 1t must not be imagined that it possessed no strength whatever, as that would be a mistake. Some or the oldest and strongest battallons maintained tKeor organization without break or Impairment. Recently interest in military matters has revived. and within comparatively short period 1b companies of infantry have been orga- nized Most of these companies ,particl- pated in yesterdays parade.
 As now constituted, the State Nation- al Guard comprises the following: TWO battalions, or 10 companies of artillery; IS companies, or 4 battalions, of infant ry; troop of cavalry, and the naval battalion, consisting of 5 divisions This represents a force suitable to the needs of the State and quite as large as there is any necessity for. The scheme of or ganization is probably better than has heretofore prevailed in the State.--NeW Orleans Picayune,

IT WAS ESTABLISHED FIFTY YEARS BEFORE THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.

YEARS BEFORE THE LIBRARY
 OF CONGRESS.
 The BritAh Museum was established a half century before the library of con- gress, and had as foundation three considerable collections already formed that of Sir Robert Cotton, given to the nation by William II. fifty-three years before; the Harleian, also in the custody of the nation, and the collec- tion Of Sir Hans Sloane. purchased in 1753 at cost of twenty thousand pounds. Within four years there was added the Royal library, founded by Henry VII, the gift of George II. In 17b9 the museum was opened With eigh- ty thousand volumes of printed books and pamphlets, among them material chronicles, chartutaries, original rolls and charts and other manuscripts-of inestimable importance to the student of English history.
 For the one hundred and forty years succeeding, it has. from time to time, received other great special collections, which kings and noblemen and other wealthy private collectors have freely turned over to it as gifts to the nation: The Royal library of George III, the gift Gin 1S23) of George ", seventy thousand volumes, whose cost had been six hundred and fifty thousand dollars; the Grenville collection, twenty thou sand volumes. upon which the donor had expended nearly three hundred thousand dollars; and innumerable smaller or less costly aceumulations- the Edwards, Birch, Onslow, Banks, Cracherode Egerton, Arundel.
 The total value of the gifts to the museum in all departments during the twelve years from 1923 to 1885 alone, was estimated at two million dollars. TO ex- pend great sums on books, manuscripts, gems, marbles, ceramics; to be known as a collector defying competition in the chosen field, and at the acme of reputation to turn over the exquisite whole to the use of the nation-appears to have become itself proudest fad of the British connoisseur.
 The museum began immediately, and for one hundred and fortysix years has continued uninterruptedly to receive the benefit of accessons from the copyright law of Great Britain Its regular ap- proprations for the purchase of books, already one thousand pounds a year in the beginning of the century, when values were trivial. became ill 1S45, ten thousand pounds per year, and for the past forty-fiye years have averaged at least that sum yearly. In ddition it has had numerous special grants for the purchase of notable collections thrown suddenly upon the market-the grant, for instance, of forty-five thou sand pounds for the purchase, in 1878, of the Stowe manuscripts pts.-Atlantic Monthly.

WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
Music to Which Cornwallis' Army
 Marched Out to Surrender.

Music to Which Cornwallis' Army
 Marched Out to Surrender.
 At the banquet of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati, on Washing tons birthday, piece of music when attracted general attention was an ola revival, "The World Turned Upside Down" the music to which Lord Corn wallis army marched out to surrender at Yorktown. The history of this is in- teresting in connection with the celebra- ted historical event. Following is selection from the diary of pr. Thatch- CT. a surgeon in Washington's army, in which he .jotted down events from day to day:
 .'October 19, 17S1. This is to us a most glorious day, but to the English one Of bitter chagNn and disappointment. Preparations are now making to re- ceiye as captives that vindictive and naughty commander and that victorious army who by their robberies and mur- ders have so long been a scourge to our brethren of the southern states. Being on horseback, anticipate full share of satisfaction in viewing the various movements of the interesting scene The stipulated terms of equalization are similar to those granted General Lin coin at Charleston last year. Writing of events later on the same day, Dr. Thatcher says: Tt was about two o'clock when the captive army ad- vanced through the lines formed for their reception Every eye was pre- pared to gaze on Lord Cornwallis, the object of peculiar interest and solici- iL,,f l,o Efconnointa6 anXiOIlc expectations, pretending indisposition, and made General O'Hara his substi- tute as leader of his army. This officer was followed by the conquered troops in slow and solemn step with shouldered arms, colors cased, and drums beating a British march,"
 The tune selected by the English was that with what they considered the most appropriate title, The World Turned Upside Down." The song has for the first line the words, Since now the worlds turned upside down. sc. It was written in 1706, probbaly by Tom D'IJfcey, for it was in his opera, "The Kingdom of the Birds that it first ap- peared This opera was dedicated to the celebrated Kit Cat club of London. The song was revived again in 1750. { Referring to the surrender of the British army, the Yorktown Centennial of October 1881, says, By the articles of cpitu,ation, the British were com pellcd to march forth with colors cased and drums beating a British or a Ger man tune.
 "'This is a harsh article said Ross to Laurens, at the meeting of the com missioners.
 Which artiele?' answered the latter
 "Ross repeated it to him, when he re- piled: Yes, sir with touch of sang froid 1t is q harsh article
 Then said Ross, If that is your opinion, why ia it there?
 "Whereupon Laurens, who had been made prisoner at Charleston with Lin coln's army, reminded Ross that the Americans had there made brave de- fcnse, but were ungallantly refused any honorg of surrender, other than to march out with coors cased and drums not beating British or German march.
 "'Fut' reioined Ross, 'mv Lord Corn- wallis did not command at Charles ton.'

MAY BRING SUIT
AGAINST SHERIFF

Sheriff John e. Taylor is threatened
with a suit for damages. The suit, it is
said, will be brought should the sheriff
attempt to sell the properties of Samuel
ID. Forbes, on July 13.
This proposed suit has grown out of
loan made to Forbes by George S.
May, now deceased. May loaned Forbes
$4,000. A balance of S1,5OO has not
been paid and has been a subject of
much litigation. Bonds for this amount
were transferred by George S. May to
his daughter, Sarah May. The latter
has made an effort to recover the
money, and to do so twenty-five prop
critics of Samuel ID. Forbes, situated in
various parts of the city, have been
advertised to be sold by the sheriff on
July 13. a.
Mr.. Forbes contends that the per-
sonal property and not real property
should have been seized, and insists
that the sheriff's return on a writ was
"nulla bona when there was personal
property that might have been seized.
Notice has been served on Sheriff
Taylor by counsel for Mr.. Forbes. that
suit will be brought should he sell the
properties.

ment and throwing his strength to Mr..
Woolley This undoubtedly had a
great effect on the result, as the con-
vention earlier in the day had been
nearly stampeded for Swallow by an
eloquent speech of Homer l.. Castle, of
Pittsburg. and had the friends of the
Pennsylvania parson forced a ballet
at that time the result might have been
different. The vote was. Woolley

For vice president three candidates
were ballOted f0r-H B. Metcalf

ing majority Of the votes cast.
Immediately after the announcement
of the result OF the ballot for the preSi-

over the suggestion. but DIR. Swallow

Pennsylvania delegation, refused TO ac'
