Condemned to Military Service.

About this time the students began to
hear that the University of St. Peters
burg had been closed and that the stu
dents had been transported enmasse.
The students of Kieff took the heroic re-
solve to make common cause with their
comrades at St. Petersburg, and began
holding meetings, making speeches and
passing resolutions. The three univer-
sity inspectors undertook to expel them
from the assembly hall The students
declared they would not leave the hall
until their demands were complied
with, and were prepared to camp all
night. The rector telephoned for police
about midnight, and General Dragomir-
off, who was probably tired of the COM
edy, sent company of regulars to oc-
cupy the building. The soldiery closed
all the exits and the names of all pres
ent were taken. A special court under
a statute of two years ago was called
and the 406 students who had refused
to leave the hall were summoned for
trial, and it is stated 106 were con-
demned to military service. The uni
versity was closed for the holidays un-
usually early

Poverty Stricken students.

The university of Kieff is attended by
many students whose poverty almost
surpasses description. The surround
ing population is far from rich, and the
aid societies lack the backing which the
wealth of the capital gives the societies
IN this city. The university authorities
decided several months ago to send a
large number of students away because
they were unable to pay their fees. The
number has been given as 303 by citi-
zen whose sources of information are in
this case exceptionally good. This ac-
tion caused considerable talk. 1t reached
the ears of General Dragomiroff, gov
ernor of the Kietf military district

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - When the

Within the last day or two there have been distributed on the desks of the members of the legislature printed slips setting forth the right of citizens to vote. The slips contain a section of the organic act for Arizona in which it is shown that at the first election only male citizens" shall vote. This distinction is dropped in rhe regulation of subsequent elections and that fact Is dwelt upon in italics and black-faced caps. Then there follows a constitu- tional construction of the word "citi- zen" from which we infer 1t is not ex- clusively of the masculine. feminine
 neuter nor yet of the Greek dual gender. It Is a term applied to all humanity who by nativity and age have complied with the constitution al description of those who are entitled to vote. Wherefore the need of a law in Arizona authorizing women to vote, since the constitution of the United States invests them with this privilege?

 Let me leave some truths with you. The way of sin is death. It makes drunk the soul. None who sin need ex- pect to stand against the displeasure of God. Belshaz2er was a king, had an army and lived in a walled city, and could not resist the arm Of God. God S word cannot fail.

The people of Memphis are among the most hospitable in all the south. and are resolved that the fair fame of that city, of which they are justly proud. shall not suffer in the estimation of their visitors. Consequently, they are making earnest and successful efforts to raise sufficient funds to insure the success of the reunion and afford an impressive demonstration of Memphis hospitality. The money Is coming in all right, but now and then there is a day when the subscriptions seem to lag, On such day, not many weeks ago, the finance committee received a note enclosing a check for sl,OOO from Mir.

Throughout December and the first weeks in January his army was more anvil than it was hammer. so far as actual fighting was concerned. It has reversed it's role during the month and the latest returns from the front show that its aggressive work has had result. It is weeks since any of the republican commandos has been able to break the monotony of their running fight by one of those successes which gave a fitful brightness to the defensive outlook of last summer.
 The victories achieved by the British mark the continuation of a general movement planned by Kitchener. fol- lowing a period of enforced delay which lasted from September to Dec ember. His programme had one defen. sive and three offensive features. Against the several small bodies of Boers invading Cape Colony he had to organize colonial resistance. While 1t was not possible to stop the invaders, it has been possible to prevent them from doing much mischief Against burghers under Botha in the eastern 'ransvaal. totalling perhaps 5000 men. six columns under French were directed in converging operations which have resulted in the Killing. wounding or capturing of nearly 800 men. and, what is more important. the capture, among other supplies, of 2o,oO0 cattle and l5,C0o sheep. the British casualties being much smaller Against the Boers in the southern Transvaal Methuen has car

 There is ground for Boer despond- ency and British optimism in the present aspect of the war against the republics. But while the burgher bands have been battered there has been no considerable capture since July. Of the original Boer forces, 16,- 900 are prisoners of war and 1t is es- timated that 10000 have been elimi- mated by death. wounds or disease while some thousands more have, gone back to their farms. The number still under arms Is probably somewhat in excess of the number in prison.
