Hall, one Of the dormitory buildings OF
Bryn Mawr College, an institution for
the higher education OF young ladies,
was burned last night The college is
located about ten miles from this city.

fieroely and OF the three story structure
used as dormitory by 70 girl students,

the college In few years. The loss Is
covered by insurance and the hall Will
be rebuilt at once. A loss OF $50, OCO

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The suffrage conference OF the con-
stitutional ton, after three hours
hard fight, on Friday reconsidered
the amendment passed on Saturday
providing for 5000 property quallfi'
cation, and then adopted it again by
vote OF 80 to 29 -,
"We are all in the air again." said
Senator Daniel at the close OF the vot'
ing, and that expression accurately
describes the situation. The conference
is at sea, and has no idea what turn
affairs will take next.
The fight will be renewed ct once
and the uItimsts result is doubtful. but
it Is believed that With a full attsn-
dance the property qualification will be
defeated. 1t has, however, shown
much greater strength the last Two
days than was anticipated.

FROM the Northwestern University
comes the information that it is often
right to tell lie to further good
cause. The question was debated by
the pupils, and and 1t was the decision
of the judges professors in the schooD
that the advocates Of meDdacity had
won out. The popularity ofprevarlca-
ton In social life shows that the de-
cision sccords with the opinion OF a
majority OF mankind. Although Sister
Simpllce allowed her body to be mutt
lated rather than tell lie, another sig
ter boldly bore false witness to save q
noble man from an ignominious fate, as
related by Victor Hugo. That lying
is vice is e belief OF modern origin.
Zeno regarded lying as a fine art, and
was Positive that strictly truthful
mel could not be gentleman. Tempo
ia mutsntur. &C., may apply in some
cases, but before and since the time Of
Zsno. so far as veraoity is concerned,
there have been few changes.
