In Washington.
Tacoma, Jan. 14.-An EllensburlA
special to The Ledger says:
The westbound Northern Pacific
overland was wrecked one and one
half miles west of Selah on slough
bridge $50 feet long. Engineer R.
Baird felt the bridge sink and threw
the throttle wide open. The engine
passed over but the tender went down
1S feet. The track was torn up for 300
feet and loosened rail passed
through the floor and roof Of car
which was filled with people, but
struck no one. A few of the passen-
gers received slight injuries, but no
one was seriously hurt.

Lcnaon. Jan. 14.-The brief report
Of tho fate of the three members Of
the peace commission who we're sent
to see General Dewet excited the
greatest Indignation on all sides.
One or two papers express hope that
Lord Kitchener has been misled by
fa:sc Kaffir reports, but it is gener-
ally felt that he would not have re-
ported the matter to che war office
without in:.isputable evidence. The
Daily Mail heads the report "Mur-
der" and declaims against any fur
ther attempt to coax the enemy into
submission. "Dewet has placed him
self outside the pale of humanity"
says The Daily Mail, "and not con-
ciliation but large reinforcements
must be our watchword."
The Morning Post says: "This
marks the point where the guerrilla
warfare has ended and the bandit has
begun"
All papers strongly urge the gov
ernment to hurry forward reinforce
ments since it is now evident the Boer
leaders have become desperate and
conciliation Is useless.
The Pretoria correspondent of The
Daily Mail announces the return to
Pretoria of Mr.. Pretorius, former
president of the late South African

LIMIIINe WOMEN STUDENTS.

Mrs. Stanford has explained why the
number of women students at the
Stanford university has been limited
to 500 at any one time. This restric
ton is not because she is opposed to
the higher education OF women. She
favors it. She says she suggested To
Senator Stanford before their plans
became known to the public that wo-
men students should be admitted. Her
husband asscnted to this. but he ex-
pressed the desire that the institution
should be primarily one for boys. Mrs.
Stanford says that neither she nor
her husband. in deciding to admit wo-
men, could foresee that time would
come when the women might exceed
the men at the university. 1t is doubt
full whether anybody foresaw twenty
years ago the desire for higher educa-
ton which young women are mani
testing now. Only few months ago
it was announced by persons connect
ed with the Northwestern University
that unless the disproportionate at
tendance of young women could be
checked the institution would be femi-
nized and young men kept away.
Probably the Stanford University
would fall into the hands OF the young
women were it not for this Limitation
on the number OF students, and the
athletic standing of the university
would suffer as consequence.

Tribe of
Dirt Eaters

A colony of dirt eaters has been dis
covered in the backwoods of Coffee
bounty, not more than 10 miles from
Nashville. Tenn. These strange people
were found by n party of prospectors
b few days ago. They were almost shut
bn from communication with the rest
bt the world. They live in rude huts
hnd have few of the necessities OF life.
Iiiow they manage to exist is puz-
kle to those who have Investigated
kheir queer settlement.
The general appearance OF the adults
Is that of living cadavers, Their eyes
kre deeply sunken and devoid OF eX-
preston. Their lips are of a blush
white tinge. and the general complex
Jon is dirty white.
These queer people wear few clothes.
fThe men are suspicious and can hard
y be approached or engaged in con-
|Eersation in any manner. The chill
|dren scamper into the woods at the
|sight of stranger, and can be seen
now and then as they poke their heads
from under a shrub or from behind a
|tree.
Within the last few days a number
|of persons have gone from Tullahoma
Ito investigate these people and their
habits. Several families have been
discovered near the mountains. They
claim that their fathers cultivated the
UNIV wholesome taste for dirt. One OF
the more intelligent men OF the tribe
stated that they eat clay, of a blush
character, found on the mountain sides.
This, it seems, produces a sleepy feel.
ling, and those addicted to the habit
are victims OF epilepsy.
1t was found that not one of them
could read or write. while they could
hardly understand even the very SIM
pie words. Their language is pecu-

The truth is that Mr.. Borden is no
one OF these things-neither the ally OF
the working people nor the enemy OF
the manufacturers-he is plain bust
ness man. engaged In the manufacture
and sale of print and printed cioth, and
he happens to be vastly smarter at the
business than his competitors.
He has certain definite ideas about
how best to manufacturer print cloth

comes from the looms). how best to
convert this into print (calico). and
then how best to convert the finished
goods into spot cash.
He was born and brought up in the
business and his forty years OF inti-
mate association with the manufacture
and sale of cloth have taught him that
certain exact results follow certain ex-
act causes.
His refusal to close his mills against
Union labor won for him the undying
gratitude of Union labor throughout
the country.
