The Friends of General Merriam
KeenTy Disappointed.

DENVER. Col. Feb. 8--The absence Of
Gen Henry C Merriam's name from the
list Of new brigadIer generals has led 70
the publication OF an alleged interview
here which he has denied. The interview
made General Merriam say it would have
caused him much less pain had President
Mckinley shot him rather than passed
him over
That General Merriam would receive
the rank Of major general was confidently
expected. He has seen long and faithful
service and as he retires next November
IL is thought the President would take
this opportunity to reward him. Once be-
fore he was passed over, when Gen. James
F. Wade vas made senior brigadier. Last
summer General Merriam begged TO be
sent TO China for service, being WILLING

 The Berlin correspondent of the New York Times says that, according to the Berliner Tageblatt. the minis ter of education has issued new regu- lations in regard to the admission of foreign students at the Berlin tech nical college.

The chief offend CTS are Russians.
 It is now reported that the minis ter directs that Russians are. only to be admitted if they can prove previous attendance or matriculatio at Rus sian technical college. Other foreign CTS must produce certificate of gen era1 education as well as proof that they have attended technical col lege.
 It has also been decided, according to the BerIiner Tageblatt. that small class of students called 'hospitante, :" now admitted to the lectures at Ger man universities as guests, without the right of obtaining. certificates or degrees, shall be abolished i'll the ma chine engineering department of the college, and only allowed in other de- partments under exceptional circum- stances.

PLANS OF MEDICAL INSTITUTE
College of Research Founded by John D. Rockefeller Adopts a Scheme
 of Work.

4 tentative working plan has been adopted by the officers of the Institute for Medical Research, founded by John D. Rockefeller, by whom it was en- dowed with .$2O0,OO0. It follows: To expend s20,0Oo year, divided so as to provide for 40 scholarships. To make appointments for one year. To have candidates recommended by heads of various laboratories to the board of directors. To choose only persons pursuing, or about. to pursue, investi- cations on some important subject in pathology, bacteriology or. hygiene.
 At the time the announcement was made that Rockefeller had given $2oo,- 900 to found the institute, it was said that one of the first things the insti- ute would do would be to investigate the milk supply of the city, in cooper afion with the board of health. This task was completed some time ago. 1t is said now that work of a more ambitious nature. involving original research. and an effort to throw new l5xht on problems which are as yet un- solved by medical science will be taken @4 ia <hs autumn.

 than to the excelIent team work which was in great measure perfected by Captain Lawlor.. His generalship and coolness at critical stages of the. game have also contributed largely to ulti- mate success. As captain he has been model. There is nothing dom- ineering about his style and he has been a general fayorite with the play CTS and students. Mir Lawlor takes q place alongside of Shorty Brennan and "Bill' Fox in making Waterbury famous in an athletic sense at Holy Cross. Joe Lawlor will also play on the basket ball team this season, as also will Walter Monagan. Much in- terest is being manifested in this game this year, as Holy Cross is a member of the Intercollegiate association and consequently will play against Yale, Harvard and the other universities, The game has always been popular at Holy Cross owing to the proficiency oe the players and a1so to the fact that the college enjoys the privileges of one of the largest gyms" in New Eng land. With the prospects af an excel lent base ball team the outlook for sports at Holy Cross is certainly very bright this year.

I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied 1t.
