NEW TRANSFER SYSTEM.
Both Companies Put 1t in Operation With
Success Yesterday

The new scheme Of intercompany trans
fers, established for the two local street
railways by an ordinance recently enact
ed, went into effect yesterday. Both COM
panies reported that it was working sat-
Isfactorily and that the conductors were
having no trouble with the new transfer
slips.
The new scheme is a distinct advance
in the street railway facilities of the city.
and will be much appreciated AND utilized

vides for transfers at all points Of con-
tact. for transfers at points OF divergence
as we'll as points of junction where a piece
of track is used in common by the two
companies, and for transfers to subur-
ban lines.
The new scheme names seventeen

LEE STATUE A BEE HIVE.
Horse and Rider Probably Contain Goodly
Quantity Of Honey.

UuaAiitS
The interesting discovery was made
yesterday that the Lee equestrian
statue in the western part of the city is
the home of a large number of honey
bees, and probably contains a Gocdly
quantity of the delicious provisions which
have been industriously stored up for
the coming winter.
For some time bees nave been noticed
in considerable numbers about the small
openings at the mouth and nostrtis CT
the horse and the mouth Of the rider.
Mere than once considerable Swarms have
come out of these openings which are
believed to be the only openings to the
interior of the statue. When it is re-
membered that the statue of Goth horse
and rider is merely shell less than q
Efif-inch thick it will be at once seen
what e commodiouS and comfortable home
and retreat for honey-satherers the in
terror c' the statue provides.
II is not known whether the openings
to the statute are large enough to allow
sparrows to enter. If so, the statue Is
probably partially full of the trash which
they collect to make their nests. AS
sparrows can get through a wonderfully
Small opening this is quite possible but
no sparrows or other small birds have
been noticed going In or out of the statue
as has been the case with the bees. The
latter have certainly found a safe place
for gathering their winters supplies and
one in which they will not and cannot be
n,olested. It will give an added interest to
the statue to the many who visit 1t, to
know that t is probably will filled with
honey of the best make and reputation

WoMAN's COLLEGE CROWDED.
The Board OF Trustees Will Garry the Matter
TO the General Association.

Owing to the shortness of the notice
no meeting of the Board of Trustees or
the Woman's College was held yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of taking some
special action to relieve the crowded con-
dition Of the college. Such a meeting will
lie held at an early date, however When
seen last night, DR.. Nelson, the president
of the college, could not forecast what
action should or would be taken in the
premises. He was rather of the opinion
that at this time it would be impossible
to co anything to help this year. The
friends OF the college are thoroughly in
accord with DR.. Nelson in the purpose
that another year the facilities of tho
college Shall more nearly measure up
to the demands of it's enlarged
patronage Never before in me

tendance there been so large. Sonsld-
crably over 200 girls and young ladies
have matriculated and applications Tor
admission are still streaming In. Or.
James Nelson. president of the college,
has recently been forced to decline to
receive several young lady boarders De
cause he could find no accommodation
for them.
This state of affairs suggests to the
Board the necessity of providing more
suitable quarters to meet the increased
demands of the school, which has grown
So rapidlv under DR.. Nelson's administra-
ton There is a proposition TO erect
new dormitores on the present properly

voreo scheme is to abandon the present
site and erect an entirely new college IN

over these matters at its meeting 1t
is not expected that any definite acuoh
will be taken yet, but some idea OF the
needs OF the college will be gotten by
the members 1t is probable that d
committee will be appointed to wait up
on the General Association at It's session
here in November in the interests OF the
school.
DR.. Nelson has found 1t necessary to
add Miss Eftie Golfer to the music faculty
of the college She IS a member OF the
choir of the First Baptist Church ana
has had the best musical training Wnich
this city and New York could furnish.
trhe music class at the college TINS year
IS an exceptionally large one, hence the
addition to the faculty, which IS ALREADY
one of the best in the State. About 10
scholars have been enrolled in this de-
n.rtment already.
