.COLBY'S POLICY.
Trustees Accused Of
DiSlOyalty.
Lively Meeting of Alum.
nj Assn.
A Resolution Against COeducatiOn
Voted Down.
Better Alumni Repre-
sent alton Demanded.
Pres. Butler Tells How He Could
Be Induced To Stay.

Boston, February 28.-The policy of
Colby college of Waterville. Me-, was
freely discussed tonight at the Goth an
nual reunion of the Boston alumni at
h otel Bellevue. A. r. Soule, 70, charged
the trustees with a lack of loyalty and
wished the Boston alumni to try to have
coeducation discontinued at the institu-
ton. He also started a movement to
have a more satisfactory representation
of the alumni on the board of trustees.
President Clarence p. Webster, '73 pre-
sided and some 40 alumni were present.
The company included President Ma
thanie Butler of the university who has
recently resigned to go to Chicago.
The business meeting which came first
after the dinner proved stirring ses-
sion. 1t was here that Mr.. Soule made
the statement that he believed there
were men on the board of trustees who
cared little or not hing about the wei
fare of the college. 1t was most inn
portant to have men there who enjoyed
the confidence of persons who might
wish to make endowm ments to the col
lege.
1t seemed strange that Brown Unlver-
sity could easily raise more than the
million she wanted while Colby had
such hard work to get along. 1t seemed
as though something was wrong. He
offered two resolutions, one favoring
the doing away of the education of girls
at Colby and the other looking toward
better alumni representation on the
board of trustees.
Mr.. Keely, '73, said the trustees had
vancement. He offered a resolution
which was unanimously passed that every
possible effort should be made to etain
President Butler. Mr.. Soule's first reso-
luton after discussion was rejected and
the second one adopted unanimously.
President Butler said he had never be-
lieved more in the future of the Univer-
sity than at present and never loved it
more and that if he saw how in the next
five years the objects hoped for could be
obtained by continuance Of the present
arrangement, he would be glad to re-
main. His relations with all conn ected
with the Institution were of most pleas
ant character.
A peru auent organization 90 be known
as the Boston Colby Alumni associatio n
was then formed with Charles f. Hall,
| 75, president and NJ. Il. Getcheil, '93,
| secretary. The speeches that followed ths

Ayr &c.

Washington, February ga com
.plete agreement has been reached by the
Republican couferees on the most i'm
portant items of the war revenue reduc-
ton bill. On beer the House wins its
contention and the Senate yields. The
House fixed rate of SLIGO per barrel
without any discount while the Senate
retained the old rate of 81 per barre!
with - per cent discount. The differ
ence between the two rates is about ten
cents on the barrel.
The tobacco tax is compromised. The
House left tie tax standing at y cents
per pound as in the existing law while
the Senate reduced 1t % per cent or to
nine cents per pound.
The compromise provides for reduc-
ton of >. 10 cents per pound leaving the
rate 9.G0.. The House also comes out
ahead on bank checks. The House re-
pealed the entire tax on checks but the
Senate did not accept this action. The
Senate conferees now concede the House
provision. The reduction in the reve-
nue. will be 81, 100000 on account of this
action. The House provision entirely re-
pealing the tax on proprietary medicines
is also accepted.

GEORGIA GLEANINGS.

The Savannah Press calls to mind
two rallies in the northern section OF
the state on July 4th that it thinks may
have political significance. Elem du-
Bignon addressed large gathering
at Jefferson, while Dupont Query adj
dressed temperance rally at Watkins
Vile. Both of these gentlemen are
suspected of gubernatorial inclination,
but the weather was hot and there's
lot of time ahead.
If the prophecy of the Macon ne
gress comes true the race problem will
soon be effectively and per-
manently settled. She says the
Lord appeared unto her in a Wis
ion and told her the sun was going to
shine seven days and nights and then
there would be total darkness for as
many more after which the white
people would all turn to negroes.
The idea that ''love never haunts
the breast where learning lies" is
proving fallacy in Georgia, and 1T Is
said that superintpndents are having
time of it on account of the matrl-
mopial epidemic among lady teachers.
At Macon ten have resigned on ac'
count of other engagements.
The people of Waycross have in
auourated a movement to secure the
esta blisbment of state experimental
farm in south Georgia, and Commits
sioner Stevens has promised them his
aid in the matter.

TOOK WRONG MEDICINE.
An Albany Man Deprived of the Power o
Speech.

ALBANY, GA, July 12.-J. Wesley
Thomas, in a fit of desperation to re-
lieve himself of a severe attack OF sore
throat, swallowed half bottle OF lini-
ment Wednesday night about IL
O'Clock. Mr.. Thomas was unable to
find relief from the pain from several
remedies which he had in his room,
and without informing himself as to
the contents of bottle which had no
label he took swallow of the medl-
cine. No sooner had he done so than
he felt the effects of his rashness, for
the medicine was mixture of ammo
MIA, turpentine, red pepper, iodine and
a few other things. Mr.. Thomas suf-
fered great pain for while and was
compelled to call in physician before
he found relief from the strong potion
which he had swallowed. Today he
is unable to speak or swallow, though
no serious results are apprehended by
the attending physician.

the lightning to come and hit him, as
he said he wanted to know how it

didn't want to hurt him, but just to

it could make when it wanted to it

FARMING BY WIRE.

The Massachusetts, agricultural col
lece has proved that electricity stimu-
lates the growth of plants. Mr.. Asa
S. Kinney has made experiments for
three or four years. They prove that
a seed planted in the ground does not
grow a. quickly as one rushed in its
development bv electricity.
Two lots of twelve groups, each ofll2
seeds, were soaked in water and placed
into cylindrical glass vessels at each
end. The receptacles had dipping into
them copper disks to which a current
was applied. The seeds were kept at
a temperature of from As TO so degrees.
The seeds treated electrically grew
80 per cent. quicker than those treated
in the regular manner. A good per-
centage of seeds used in farming are
wasted, as a rule, and no effort is made
to save them. They rot or dry up. BY
the above process termination is start
ed beforehand, thus increasing the
chances of growth.
An electric clock performed the ser
vice automatically of allowing the cur
rent to affect the seed once an hour fol
about thirty seconds. Slow-growine
seeds grew rapidly after the treat
ment.

From the Montczuma Record.
The detractors of w. j. Bryan can
scott at him all they please, but few of
them, if any, will ever occupy the high
moral and political plane he does. He
SAYS he is not candidate for third
nomination for the presidency at the
hands of the democratic party, and has
no candidate in mind. He warns the
party against the adoption of cam
paign OF expediency, and says the sur
est way to win is TO deserve to win.
No one will fail or refuse to indorse
such high sentiments, but hope deferr-
ed makes the heart sick. Hungry
democrats wouldn't object to slipping
in the back way if they could secure a
place at the public trough for while.

VIOLATING RULES OF WAR.
The British Are Charged With Killing
MESSENGERS.

A press dispatch says the Beers en-
phatically deny the London stories re,
garding the alleged atrocities enacted
nv the Beers a. the battle of Vlakton-
tein.
The Beers say:
"The publication of the sensational!
lie was melted by desire TO cover
and suppress the excitement which
MIGHT arise from the murder OF two
Beers, Commandant DelareY asserts
that he recently sent, on two success
i've days, Beers with white t1ags TO de'
mand the surrender of 10000 British
whom he had surrounded near Ere
toria.
"Neither of the messengers returned.
On the third day Delarey attacked
and captured the force.
"The Boer commanding officer in
ouired of the British officer what
had become of the messengers.
The British commander replied
that they had been shot.
HDelarev then asked why they were
shot and the British officer replied;
'We don t negotiate with or surren'
der to rebels.
"Commandant Delarey protested to
Kitchenir against such an action, and
the officer who shot the messengers
will be tried by court-martial and
shot"
A Publishers Press correspondent
has had an interview with Herr an
Lier, General Botha's last messenger
to DR.. Leyd. He confirmed former
President Kruger's belief that the
Beers would eventually win.
He said
'FThe British are completely demor-
allied and there are ~ OOO BurgherS
in the field IN a most hardened cOnGi-
ton"
Herr Van Lier added:
"The Beers recently captured seven
teen cases of dynamite from Douglass
and Balmoral coal mines, near Middle
burg, which will be used for train de-
