General NIctl,uen.

The defeat and capture of General
Methuen by the Beers has a special
poignancy to his countrymen because he
was admitted to be one of the bIavest
and most skilful of the British generals.
The record OF his notable services was
invoked in parliament to lesson the
measure of blame given to him because
Of his defeat. and it served that purpose
but in reality the disaster would be less
if it had arrived to newer man in the
field
There is no reason to believe that any
British general could have done better
under the circumstances, and this
thought will add considerably to the
uneasiness with which the British re-
gard the future. Colorado Springs

Cigarettes and students.

The Inconsistency between good, hard
study and cigarette smoking was SET
forth in striking fashion in the prepara-
tory school of the Northwestern uni
versity the other day. Professor Fisk
notified the students that those who
persisted in smoking cigarettes would
be expelled from the school, and gave
his reasons as follows:
- 1t is matter Of record that four
fifths OF the cigarette smokers among
students fail sooner or later. Near
ly all the boys VITO failed in the
semester examinations use ciga-
rettes. This should be evidence
enough to induce any boy who will
consider the matter to quit at once.
1t is the testimony Of many physic-
ians that smoking Of any kind is in
furious to the youth. and l do not
know Of any who will say that ciga-
rette smoking works no harm to the
boy. No cigarette smoker is in very
good standing in this school. We
are willing to help any boy who
wishes to stop smoking. and l ask

The Queen Regent of Spain Prepares to Turn the Reins over to
 Her Son.

Madrid. May 13.-The brilliant weather yesterday encouraged the crowds to pour out into the streets of the city. and every thoroughfare was filled with merrymakers. The ap- pearance of the streets was in strong contrast to She scene which, at the same time, ~as being enacted within the palace. Here the festivity gave place to drama. The queen regent of Spain was sorrowfully taking leave of her ministers and practically re- linquishing to her son the solemn charge which she has so faithfully fulfilled for the past sixteen and a half years.
 Premier Sagasta and his colleagues proceeded to the palace at II o'clock yesterday morning for formal leave- taking of the queen regent, and to present for her majesty's signature the last decrees to which her hand and seal will ever be affixed as regent of Spain.
 When the queen regent withdrew her pen from the parchment confer ring the Order of the Golden Fleece upon the duke of Cumberland, her eyes were moist. Her regency really terminated at this time, although un- til the king takes the oath in the presence of the chambers, May IT. his mother remains officially the queen regent.
