The graduating lists Of the American
colleges this year show an increase Of
% per cent. It seems probable hat all
the institutions of learning viii have
more than their usual quota of stu
dents next fall, says Success. As cell
ebrated college presidents have shown
in the columns of Success from time
to time, the demand for college men
in all branches of business, as well
as in the professions, is gradually in
creasing. Our colleges graduate men
and women with practical as well s.
artistic ideals. \ notion prevails that
girls who have been so fortunate as
to complete a course in college do
not make good wives. This notion is
devoid of common sense. The more
prain a man or woman can put into
lis or her work the better that work
will be. This rule holds as surely l..
the responsible work of h0usekeep-
ing, in social relations and in domes.
tic economy as in agriculture, the
arts, mechanism, law, medicine or
theology.

Censor Destroys Rhyme and Reason

\ Constantinople correspondent
says that the Turkish government
has prohibited the performance of
Rostand's play, "Cyrano de Rergerac,"
declaring it to be of a revolutionary
character The Turkish censor is
very particular that no royalty is pre-
scented on the stage, and in all pieces
the king is replaced by pyince or
duke. The comic effect of replacing
a monosyllable by a longer word in
Italian opera, which alone is per-
formed in Constantinople, may readi-
ly be imagined. Most certainly no
imputation of encouraging high trea.
son can be brought against the Turk
ish censor. ,<-A !

ANTIPATHIES OF DOGS.
Great Aversion Is shown TO Su'nc In
animate Objects by the
CANNES.

Persons who are fond of dogs cannot
fail to notice what very odd antipathies
they take. a pug dog owned bp an up
town man showed the create st aversion
to bags of charcoal, purchased by the
owner in winter to conserve the heat of
the fire. If one of these bags was placed
across the threshold of a room the dog
would bark and spring at it with the
greatest demonstration of ferocity of
which a dog is capable; but he would
not touch the offending object.
The production of the charcoal bag
was found to be much more effective
punishment and means of restraint
than the severest whipping.
\ man who heard this story told an
another. says the Philadelphia Record,
concerning his Gordon setter, which
manifests the most extravagant terror
at the sight of a bicyc.e pump. AT the
approach of the pump he will scurry
away. barking shrilly in the widest
excitement. At times he will become
so infuriated as to leap toward it, but
he always turns tail before actually
touching it, and the sight of the pump
will subdue him when all other meth
DDS of correction fail.

In FAVOR OF SCHLEY
Flag Lieutenant Sears Gives
Account of Cuban Camp aign.
THE MISSING BATTLE REPORT.
Court Refuses Admission of CDmmo-
dore's Report OF July 3 sent to Sec
retary Of NAVY. but Never Re
ccived-Cool<'s Testimony.

WASHINGTON. oct. 1G.-Only one
new witness was heard i'm detail 10y the
Schley court of inquiry yesterday. This
vas Lieutenant Commander james II.
ears, who was Admiral Schlcy's flag
eutenant during the Spanish war. He
ave Il detailed account of the entire
uban campaign. including the brief
iege of Cienfuegos. the retrOgrade
ovement of the flying squadron in
;earch of coal. the blockade of Santa
80, the reconnaissance of the Santiago
shore batteries and the bombardment
of the Cristobal Colon on May 81 and
the battle off Santiago July 3, when
Cervera's fleet was destroyed. He
placed the distance out of the blockad-
ine line at Cienfuegos at from one to
four miles and at Santiago at from
three to six miles. He expressed the
opinion that in the battle of July it
had been the Niscaya's intention to
ram the Brooklyn.
While Commander Sears was OH the
stand Captain Lemly asked his age,
but the court, after quite n prolonged
consultation in retirement, decided
that the question was not admissible.
1t held, however. that the time of
service could be inquired into.
Mr.. Rayner sought to secure the in
PRODUCTION of brief report of the bat
tie of July 3 which Commodore Schley
prepared for transmission to the sec
retary of the navy. 1t was stated that
Commander Sears had taken this dis
patch ashore to be cabled to the sec
retary, but that it never had reached
that official. The dispatch was ruled
out on the ground that as it was not
received it was not an official commu-
Eication. 1t was not read in the court
room, but the following is Il copy of it:
Spanish squadron came suit of San
tiago harbor this morning, July g. at
9:30 and were all captured or destroy
ed in running fight to the westward
of about three and one-half hours.
Very few casualties in our fleet. Ellis,
chief yeoman, l>illed and one man
wounded on the Brooklyn. Reports
from other ships not in yet. The com
mander in chief now experimenting
transfer OF prisoners from the Cristo-
bal Colon, which surrendered to the
Brooklyn and Oregon at 1:1J p. IN.
About 1000 prisoners in all, including
Spanish admiral. Victory complete.
Details later"
Captain Cook was recalled during the
day and in response to Il question by
Captain Lemly made an additional
statement concerning the retrograde
movement of the flying squadron May
rs to May 2S He also said in answer
to a question by the court that Commo-
dore Schley during the battle of July
was "cool, brave and enthusiastic.
l cannot imagine any conduct in bat
tie more admirable"

SERVED GEN. JACKSON.
Death of Alfred Jackson. the Oldest
servant who Saw the prcs-
idcut Die.

A picturesque character of the south
has just passed away in Alfred Jack
son, the body servant of President An
drew Jackson, relates the New York
Sun. He was 9G years old and his DEATH
removed the last of the family IF sery-
ants of the celebrated hermitage uA-
der its first master.
The reputation Of Uncle Alfred" as
he was known to thousands, is national.
For years he had been the most inter-
esting figure at the Hermitage, where
he had lived almost century. He waa
born on the Hermitage farm soon after
Gen. Jackson made that beautiful spot
his home. When the civil war broke
out he and his wife, Gracey, alone OF
the servants, stayed with their mis-
tress, never leaving the place for an
hour.
In the lifetime of Gen. jackson the
Old darky was one of the most favored
servants, and when the great man
passed away Alfred was at his bedside.
His chief characteristic was always his
extreme loyalty to Gen. jackson. 9th
er men attained to some sort of puta-
tion, but none-to him-ever reached
the generals pinnacle of fame. When
Alfred was presented to eX-President
Rutherford Il. Hayes he merely said:
'Ef you had been as great man as
Ginral Jackson l could most shake yo'
hand off,
The old servants greatest desire was
to be buried in the garden near the last
resting pace of his former master, his
ideal of all greatness, and he has his
wish. He has been buried just north of
the tomb of Gen. jackson, the Ladies'
Hermitage association directing this,
