STUDENTS MAKE SENSATION.
Harvard Men Published a Bogus Issue
 of the Crimson.

Boston, May 31.-HarYard university was treated to startling surprise yes terday when the Harvard Crimson, the official college paper, appeared with the astonishing announcement that the Harvard corporation had voted at it's meeting yesterday to rescind its vote conferring the degree of IL. D. upon President Mckinley.
 The same issue contained a detailed account Of an attempt to blow up Me morial hall with a bomb, of which the chief component, according to the Crimson's account, was picric acid. The news item was accompanied by suit ble editorial on the second page of the paper condemning in vigorous terms the spirit of vandalism that had sug- gested the violation of one of Harvard's s sacred memorials.
 Upon investigation it was shown that the Memorial day issue was a fake number, published by unnamed editors who are supposed to be identi- fled with the famous t'Med Fac" who a few years ago sent an honorary med ical degree to Czar Alexander III, of Russia, and which that monarch rec ognized by forwarding to the 'sMed Fac" a letter expressing his thanks and his deep appreciation of the favor which American science had seen fit to confer upon him.
 The editors of the Crimson were dumbfounded when they found copies of the Memorial day issue of the paper at their doors yesterday, after their an- nouncement Wednesday morning that the paper would not appear yesterday. They made strenuous efforts to prevent the paper from circulating, and inform ed the newsdealers on Harvard square that they would be prosecuted for libel if they sold the Crimson over their counters. One of the newsdealers con sented, as special favor to the editors to refrain from selling the sheet, but the other informed the collegians that he would continue the sale. The few copies of the paper that remained this evening was selling at dollar copy.
 The managing editor and the busi- ness manager of the paper wentto Chief of Police Gloves, in Cambridge, and urged him to prevent the circulation of the paper, but that officer informed them that he could do nothing. They they went to the court house and tried to get an injunction restraining the self-appointed publishers from getting out another number, but they could do nothing in that direction, because the court house was closed, on account of the holiday. The incident is regarded by the university at large as the most effective hoax that ever has been per petrated by the Med Fac" The fake issue was an exact counterpart typo graphically with the regular numbers of the official organ of the university. It contained all the advertisements, all the official notices by instructors and professors, in exactly the form and | type to which the regular readers of the paper are accustomed.

The jokes and conun- drums in the minstrel performance were bright and up to date while the songs were rather catchy. A temper ary stage had been erected and the black face performers presented a good appearance. Miss Louise Malone was musical director while Miss Ella q. Smith was director in chief. She was ably assisted by the other teachers. As a result of the entertainment a neat sum will be netted for the piano fund.
