BAN ON DRESSING GOWNS.
Northwestern Goods Mt Evanston. ILL.,,
Hereafter Must Dress for
breakfast.

There are sleepy faces and numerous
wailings at Woman's hall, Evanston.
ILL.,, where the pretty goods live who
attend Northwestern, university. For
an edict was sent forth by Dean Miller
that said that all the girls hereafter
must dress before appearing at. the
breakfast table. This means that
hencefortn, instead of jumping from a
soft pillow into a dressing gown or bed
quilt and slippers and burrying down
to the dining-room just as the bell
quits ringing, each fair maiden will be
compelled to take as much care in ar
ranging her tresses and selecting her
gown as If she were going out to din
ner.
Its a shame that we have to dress
just for breakfast" said one of the
dwellers at the hall as she pouted a
pair of red lips and stamped her foot.
"We have to get up so much earlier
that we lose almost an hours sleep
every morning. What difference does
1t make anyway how we look when we
go to breakfast? There's no one there
to see us but ourselves. so why should
anyone care whether we wear dress
ing gowns, bed quilts or slippers?"
The dean says that the order will be
enforced rigidly in spite of the girls
who say it hurts their feelings.

the Hall Of Fame" on University
heights, colonnade 500 feet long,
which will look towards the Palisades
and the valleys Of the Hudson and Har-
lem rivers.
Chancellor Of the University Mac
Cracken said recently he was not at lib
erty to tell the name of the American
who makes this gift or to describe him
further than that he is citizen of
New York and q friend of the univer-
sity.
The conditions of the gift, readily
accepted by the university council, are
directed to make sure that none but
the names of truly great Americans
shall be inscribed in the Hall of
Fame"
One hundred and fifty panels, each
about two by eight feet, will be pro-
vided in the Hall of Fame" for the
names of the great. Fifty of these
will be approved by the two bodies of
judges. At the close of every five years
thereafter five additional panels shall
be inscribed so that the entire number
shall be completed by A. d. 1000,
The statue, bust, or portrait of any
person whose name is inscribed may be
given place either in the Hall Of
Fame" or in the museum adjoining.

tees at their meeting memorial of

Manufacture of smokeless powder
by the government will shortly be
started at the Indian Head proving
grounds. The buildings of the plant
are practically completed. The ma
chinery has been delivered and its in
stallation will be accomplished soon.
In order to avoid injury to the prov
ing grounds the plant has been estab-
lished ON tract of land several miles
away, and the two points are con-
nected by q railroad.
The factory and the railroad are to
be operated by an electric plant,

ton on the part of the government
to enter into competition, except as to
quality, with private manufacturers.
Experiments will be made at the
factory with view of improving the

BOY WONDER IN TELEGRApHY.
Il Only Eleven But Can Send a Long
Press Message without tho
Least Concern.

Perhaps the youngest telegraph
down" regular Office in courthouse
town is Willie Barr, the manager" of
the office at Kingstree, the largest
town on the Atlantic coast line be-
tween Florence and Charleston, S., G.
There is just business enough at that
point for one good operator, and Lit
tie Willie" does it all. He is in sole
charge, and has been for the last four
months. The boy is now just II years
and month old, and he has been able
to do some work on the wire for two
and a half years.
When he was eight years old an op.
orator who took fancy to Willie came
to Kingstree and the boy spent hours
each day in the telegraph office, fas-
cinated by the strangeness of the
thing. Gradually he learned the calls
of the different stations on the road by
ear; then he was able to catch short
words in messages going through. All
this time the ambitious little chap was
practicing sending" on a dummy, and
finally was permitted to talk" to op-
orators on the line. When the boy was
ten years and six months old, and it
became known that there would be a
vacancy in the Kingstree Office, he ap-
piled for the place. The authorities
were not disposed to put child in
charge, but Willie got on the train,
went TO division headquarters, and
stood the most rigid examination in
Me most satisfactory manner. He got
the place.
The boy will tackle with perfect un-
concern thousand-word press dis
patch, and will send it faultlessly-
more than can be said for many adult
operators outside the cities.
