COLLEGE GIRLS AND DRESS.

| Recently young woman of twenty
one, the daughter of family of emil
nence in New Jersey society and for
mer student at Smith college, was ar
rested upon a charge of having stolen
property from the students. The girl
is said to have admitted the crime.
The value of the property stolen is es-
timated at five thousand dollars. Up
ward of fifty costly articles of jewelry
are missing, among them being a dia-
mond ornament valued at fifteen hun
dred dollars.
With the exception of her dishonesty,
the young woman is said to have an
excellent character, and her crime is
attributed to desire for dress. One re-
port says: 1T is known that she has
pawned articles in Springfield, Hart
ford, Philadelphia and New York. 1t
seems to be a clear case of a foolish
young girl who desired to dress beyond
her means, and deliberately took the
property Of girls at the college, pawned
it, and gratifled her desires for luxuri-
Gus living
0ppll lllt SilpNlilS US lilduS II is eN-
ident that the girl who stole the jewels
is not the only fool in the case. When
young girls at college wear diamond
ornaments valued at fifteen hundred
dollars, and when gems and golden
jewelry are so common among the stu
dents that articles to the value of five
thousand dollars can be stolen by
single thief, it is clear that college life
at Smith is becoming about as extrava- :
CANT as that in the smart set itself.
There have long been complaints of
the increasing extravaganza in dress
and living among the students at Har-
ward and Yale The ostentation of
wealth which mars so much of Ameri-
can life has intruded itself into the
very seats of learning, where it is sup
posed the students are to be taught to
respect higher things 1t now appears
that fashionable colleges for girls in
New England are becoming as bad in
that respect as the universities. In
place of the plain living and the high
that formerly marked the col
leges of that section there has come a
rivalry in dress and ornaments carried
to such an extent that some students
wear jewels fitted for court bathrooms, |
and other girls are tempted to steal |
them.
The parents, the faculty and the So
ciety that tolerate display of costly |
jewels by college girls are almost as
much to blame for the foolish desire for |
dress as was the silly girl who was
caught by it and fell. The moral duty I
Of imposing restraint upon the extrav- !
lgance of the young must rest some |
where. 1t will be bad thing for New
England If the present desire for a dis
play of wealth corrupts her college UNI
ii they are no longer attractive to per-
sons of moderate means. As matters
stand OF present, parents who cannot
lfford their daughters an elaborate ar
'ay of jewels ana gowns to match for
heir college days had better send them
o western colleges.-San Francisco

Water Works For Washington.
1snoeial 10 News and Ohserrnr !

(Snecial to News and Observer
Washington, n c., Dec. THE board
of town commissioners met last night
to again consider the question of water
works for Washington. This question
was last brought up in September when,
Mr.. Steven s. Shruks, Penna, offered
10 put in standard system. At that
time the commissioners met and took
the matter under consideration and also
called a mass meeting of the citizens
to get their sentiment in regard to the
franchise. The meeting was held and
the question was laid over until later in
September That meeting was never
held. Wednesday night the question
was revived and the commissioners gave
the franchise to Mr.. Spruks.
In the contract the company agrees
to put in fifty-two hydrants for the fire
departments four drinking and watering
fountains, to furnish water for street
sprinklers and in case the town puts in
a sewerage system to flush the pipes
thoroughly once a week Each hydrant
is to cost the town $37 so per year and
are to be frost proof and thoroughly
modern.
The work is to be commenced in eight
months after giving Of the franchise
and to be completed in another eight
months. This gives the company six
teen months in which to begin and com
plete. The company is under $4,000 bond
TO begin the work in eight months after
the franchise is given or to forfeit the
bond They are also under $4,000 acct
dent bond in case of any injury to per-
sons or property caused by excavating
or in any way by the company. The
water rental rates are on an average just
about the same that are charged in any
of the towns in the State. The hydrant
rates for the town use are the cheapest
in the State.

WHAT GOES UP
Must Come Down.

Nothing is so sure certain than that
the use of SO called tonics, stimuants and
medicines, which depend upon alcohol for
their effect is injurious to health in the
long run.
What goes up must come down and the
elevation of spirits, the temporary cx-
hlaration resulting from a dose of madi-
cine containing alcohol, will certainly be
followed in few hours by a corresponding
depression to relieve which another dose
must be taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely from
the alcohol they contain.
Alcohol, and medicines containing it,
are temporary stimulants and not in any
sense true tonic. In fact it is doubt
full if any medicine or drug is real
tonic.
true tonic is something which will
renew, replenish, build up the exhausted
nervous system and wasted tissues of
the body, something that will enrich the
blood and endow it with the proper pro-
portions of red and white corpuscIes
which prevent or destroy disease germs.
This is what a real tonic should do and
no drug or alcoholic stimulant will do it,
The only true tonic in nature is whole
some food, thoroughly digested. Every
particle of nervous energy, every min
ute muscle, fibre and drop of blood is
created daily from the food we digest
The mere eating of food has little
to do with the repair of waste tissue
but the perfect digestion of the food
eaten has everything to do with it.
The reason so few people have per-
feet digestion is because from wrong hab-
its of living the stomach has gradually
lost the power to secrete the gastric
juice, peptones and acids in sufficient
quantity.
To cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles it is necessary to take after meals
some harmless preparation which will
supply the natural peptone and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
probably the best preparation of this
character is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
which may be found in every drug store
and which contain in pleasant palatable
form the wholesome peptone and diastase
which nature requires for prompt diges-
ton.
One or two of these excellent tablets
taken after meals will prevent souring,
fermentation and acidity and insure COM
plete digestion and assimilation.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are equally
valuable for little children as for adults,
as they contain nothing harmful or stimu-
lating but only the natural digestives.
One of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest 1900 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and they are in every
sense a genuine tonic because they bring
about in the only natural way restora-
tive or nerve power, a building up of
lost tissue and appetite, in the only
way it can be done by the digestion and
assimilation of wholesome food.

Judge Graham's Mastery Speech
fOxford Public Ledger. J

(OXford Pubic Ledger
While all the attorneys in the Kilgo-
Gatts case made fine and strong speeches.
bat considered from every point of view
we believe the speech by Judge A. w.
Graham, who was the leading counsel for
the plaintiff was the greatest speech
made in the trial. Judge Graham spoke
for about five hours and covered the EVIL
dence thoroughly and in an orderly way.
Both his summary and presentation of
the evidence and his close logic in argu-
ing the case were masterful. We con-
ider his speech one of the best ever de-
livered at the Oxford bar His defense
OF Mr.. Gattis as to the false charges
against him were unanswerable and his
allusion to the loss in fortune and repu-
tation sustained by the venerable preach
er, were touching.
