A Change.

At a meeting of the faculty of the
university a change was proposed in
the curriculum which, if adopted, will
revolutionize the whole system of uni-
versity work. The amendment was
offered by Professor Woodbridge, and
recommends the introduction of the
semester plan, which prevails so gem
orally throughout eastern colleges.
Along with this change is proposed
the abolishment Of all degrees except
that of bachelor of arts, this to be con-
ferred upon students who have COM
pleted forty-eight four-hour subjects
during their course. If the proposed
plan is adopted, instead Of the first
two years being required work, the
four years. course will be divided into
forty-eight term subjects, of which
twenty-four will be compulsory, to be
taken, however, any time during the
four years, and the other twentyfour
to be elective, as at present.
The matter was turned over to the
committee on curriculum, consisting

INSURANCE FEATURE.
President Keck placed DePierro in
the chair and proceeded to tell of the
experiment in electricity and the failure
Of the same at the expense of the bor-
ough.
He further stated that II council had
taken the advice of the member from
the Third ward, which was to purchase
from him an upright tubular boiler and
engine and place it on the Hill, it would
have met with the members approval.
He also stated that the purchase of the
engine would reduce insurance rates.
Mr.. Schwabe denounced as a lie the
statement of the president that he wish
ed to sell an engine to the borough He
refuted the insurance feature of the ar
gnment by stating that he now paid
per cent for Centre street property.
which is protected against fire, and only
q per cent on the Hill, which has no
protection.
At this point the proceedings bore bnt
slight resemblance to session Of coun-
Gil held in the interest OF FIRE protection.
1t was more like the gathering of men
whose personal animosity to one another
and their desire to advance their politi-
cal prospects caused them to forget their
duty to their constituents and to slur
and condemn every person who, from
any motive whatever, exercised his
privilege by advising caution in the
buying of this particular engine.
PROTECTION A SECONDARY NATTER
In fact, to the casual observer, fire
protection was plainly secondary con-
sideration in the eyes OF few members.
The subject under discussion was used
as shield to further personal revenge
and to play political game which was
so transparent that the best friends and
advocates of fire protection on the Hill
turned in disgust from their newly
arisen friends when they found that
their needs were being used by desper-
ate office-seekers to gain votes.
As II the farce had not proceeded far
enough, Mr.. DePerro then arose and
vehemently denounced Messrs. Rude
wick and Schwabe for their opposition
to the engine. He intimated that their
objections came from Councilman Kline,
who was absent. The speaker also
claimed that If the engine was to be
given in care of the Citizens Hose Com
pany no objections to its purchase would
be made. He thanked God that the
members present from the Second and
Third wards would not have voice In
council much longer.
Councilman Rudewick questioned the
legality of the proposed purchase.
BUY 1T AT ANY PRICE.
A resolution authorizing the fire and
water committee, or majority of the
same, to purchase the Amoskaag engine
at the best possible price and terms
passed by a vote OF to and was de-
clared adopted. Messrs. DePierro, Rute,
Moerschbacher, Sweet and Keck favor
ed the resolution and Messrs. Rudewck
and Schwabe opposed it.
Council adjourned to meet at the call
of the president.

pany's large plant at the center
of Abbott street and Brooklyn
avenve, at $50 o'clock yesterday
The full crash came without
the slightest warning. Those in
the front building said it seemed
like the conclusion of
cannon. The floors and roof of
the rear building bulged upward
and then cashed down with their
heavy loads of machinery and
foundry apparatus. Walls, roofs
and all dropped into shapeless
mass uof debris. Windows in
houses for a block around were
broken by the concussionan and fly
ing bricks filled the neighborins
yards. A dense cloud of dust
arose and as it settled and was
succeeded by dense clouds of
smoke and steam, m,agonizing cries
began to come from the heap of
tangled wood, metal and brick.

WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.
The Raising of Flax Seed Will Get
Trial

Trial.
S. l.. Cary is in receipt of the
following, which is self explain
atory, and we'll worthy ofperusal:
Illinois Central Railroad Co., J
Land Office. :
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 81, 'O1. }
Mr.. S. l.. Gary, Jennings, La.
Dear Sir-I met your son at
Memphis about three weeks ago,
and told him that I was then re.
turning from d trip over this
railroad, stopping at different
points to induce some planters
and farmers to put in an expert
mental crop of India flax seed,
which I have discovered can be
produced in the Southern lati-
tude only as winter growing
crop, sown say up to Nov. 18th.
An experiment was made some
time ago at Starkville, Miss.
agricultural college, resulting in
producing the seed in its original
purity, and about 1S bushels per
acre-something that unprece-
dented in cultivation of foreign
fax seed.
1 have been to Lake Charles
and got Prof. A. Thomson to take
three bushels, and your son told
me to send you a sack, that you
would assist in the experiment,
which I am propagating over the
South this seasOn-On our rail
roads, the Southern Railway and
Sou thwest Louisiana. Assistant
Freight Agent, Mr.. Fay, of the
Southern Pacific railroad said h e
would send it to you and Mr..
Thomson free of charges, as we
deliver it to Southern Pacific at
New Orleans, and the seed is
donated by Mr.. F. w. Rockwell, /,
manager National Lead Co., Chi
cago, with the only condition
that same amount shall be re-
turned to him from resultant
crop, and he will take crop at
Chicago market prices, unless
you prefer to retain the seed for
replanting the next season on
more extended scale.
Mr.. Thomson Of Lake Charles,
said be thought the raising of
fax seed as interval crop would
clean out the red rice, which is
proving somewhat detrimental
to you growers.
India flax seed is the richest in
linseed oil of all flax seed, is
grown only in India and used
only in England, but when India
has her frequent recurring
droughts there is none raised.
But in the Southern States of
United States, thereis no drought
and this will prove a sure crop,
sown in rotation of other crops.
You will readily see what a great
thing this will be for the South.
Yours truly,
