The Pennsylvania State College.

The Commencement Exercises at The
Pennsylvania State College last June
are reported to have been of unusual
interest and were attended by large
numbers of people from all parts of
tn State. The graduating Glass num-
bcred fifty-one, three of whom were
young women. OF this number six
were graduated from the Course in
Civil Engineering, fifteen from the
Course in Electrical Engineering,
twelve from the Course in Mechanical
Engineering, four from the Course in
Mining Engineering, six from the
Course in Chemistry. and the rest from
the General Courses.
1t is a striking fact that these gradu-
ates, almost without exception, are to
go al once into service with various
concerns throughout the country, and
that, in Mechanical Engineering
alone, the Department had at least six
additional applications for positions
for which it could not supply men
and this is not an exceptional year in
that respect.
SiXty-twO Of the siNty-seven Coun-
ties of Pennsylvania have representa-
tives among the students at the State
College this year. Allegheny, in the
west, has forty students and Lancas-
ter, in the east, nineteen. The rest are
spread almost indiscriminately over
the State. The progress of the College,
in this respect is striking evidence
of the manner in which it's work is
meeting the demands of the great in
dustrial interests of Pennsylvania, at
the same time that it is sending out
literally educated men and opening
the door of opportunity to young men
and young women TO obtain a college
education in keeping with the best
modern standards. ..

CHANGES IN CITY HALL.
1t Is Expected That a General Re-
arrangement of Offices Will
Soon Be Made.

At the next meeting of the re-
corder's cabinet, the question of II
general Encouragement of the offices
in the municipal building is to he
given consideration. This matter has
been discussed among the heads of the
departments for some time back, but
the question of finding room for the
seventeen additional common council
men has now forced it TO an issue.
Several plans are under ConsidCra-
ton, but the one which Director of
Public Works Roche, who has charge
of the public buildings. favors is the
moving of the common council cham
ber to the unoccupied fourth floor,
which hp believes could he fitted up
and finished at no very great expense
The present council chamber could

for himself or Director of Public Safe

tor WormsCr is located i'm the small,
pnky little Office on the ground floor.
formerly occupied by the assessors.
while Director Roche has hastily con-
trived quarters ON the third floor, par
titiOncd off from the large office oc-
cupiod by the assessors by 2 rough
looking and unpainted wood parti-
ton, Both offices are entirely un-
worthy of two Of the most important
departments of the city government.
There is a strong belief that action
will be taken looking toward the va
cation of the two rooms on the second
floor now occupied by the board of
control. The school board has no
right or claim upon the use of these
rooms except a verbal agreement on
tered into at the time the building
was completed. This can be tcrmi-
mated at any time, and it is believed
that the time is fast approaching.
If the council chamber is vacated
by council and taken by either the de-
partmcnt of public works or public
safety, the school board room would
he the only available place for the
location of the ether dcpartmont.
Directr ROCh" believes that an ele-
vator should be installed in the CITY
hall and he will advocate this too,
at the cabinet meeting. In the mean
time, the "additonaIs" will have to
make the best of things and get along
with the seats in the rear of the
council chamber.

WHO WILL Be POPE?
LEO xIII SAID TO HAVE NAMED
HIS SUCCESSOR.
PAPAL POLITICS ARE WARM.
RAMPoLLA SAID TO BE PULLING
THE WIRES.

His Retirement From Office Has This
End in View-MRkcs Him Appear
TO Be in Disgrace with Pope and
Avoids n Clash with Francois
Claimed to Have 33 Votes In
cIuding England and America,
But Needs 30-His Position as
PapaI Secretary of state Serious
Obstacle to His Ambitions.
London, May 4.--Ihe Pope according to
a dispatch to the Times, from Rome, Is
understood to have made a will. designat-
ing his successor thus, to quote the cor
respondent modifying the habitual mode
of choosing a Pope by a conclave. sThe
news of the Pope's will first took shape
in a diplomatic note from the Bavarian
minister to his government. Its theory
is simple. the papal power being absolute,
involves the right of naming a successor.
Dealing with the rumors of Cardinal
Rampolla's retirement from the Office of
Secretary of state, the correspondent says
Rampolla is aiming for the tiara and
that If the pontiff died to-day the strug-
gle would be between Cardinals Ram
polla and Vannutelli.
The correspondent adds:
'The Gotts. Svampas and Parochis
would be there to watch the weaknesses
and profit by them. One of these last
might even come out on top"
The correspondent calculates that Car
dinal Rampolla is sure of SO votes, but
needs SO. Concluding a two-column dis
patch, the correspondent says:
There remains but one obstacle for
Cardinal Rampolla to overcome, an OBJ
stacle that is immense in AN affair where
traditions are everything. 1t is contrary
TO custom for a secretary of state to sue
ceed his master. This is why it is not
improbable that Cardinal RamDola will
strive to appear to have been disgraced,
in order not to preserve responsibility
for an authority i'm the throes of death.
In quitting the office of Secretary of State
before tlte PRONUNCIATION of the associa-
tion's bill, he will avoid quaTeling with
the French government. and be sent to
the propaganda. He would assure HIM
self of the sympathy of America which
has two cardinals, OF England, which has
two. and, of Russia, which has none, but
is powerful" ;"
