The treasury department has acted
favorably upon the appeal of Mrs.
Benise Batiste, the survivor of the
Martinique disaster, who was ordered
by the immigration officials in New
York upon her arrival at that port on
the ground that she was likely to be
come a public charge. All the men,
bers of Nine. Batiste's family were lost
in the Mont Pelee disaster. Her con-
dition excited the sympathy of Gustav
Schwab and other prominent New
Workers. and they appealed to the sec
retary of the treasury, offering to guar
aptee that she would not become a
public charge.

THE CRITICAL WEEK.
Anthracite Strike Depends on Outcome
of National Convention.

Wilkcsbarre, Pa, July 1.-THE 10th
week of the great anthracite miners
strike may witness the crisis. Every
thing depends on the national conven-
tion at Indianapolis, Thursday. If the
convention decides to support the hard
coal miners the conflict may be pro-
longed indefinitely. On the other
hand should substantial support not be
forth coming the operators may at
tempt to resume operations. No ef
fort will be made by any of the large
companies to start up this week. 1t is
expected that all the delegates from the
anthracite region will vote as a unit
in the convention.
Sheriff Jacobs reports that the whole
region is unusually quiet.

This picture shows the manner in
which your hands are daily dirtied by
the lacings of your shoes. If there is
any dust, dirt or backing on the laces,
it is sure to come off on the hands
Then you haven't always the time to
stop and wash them.
That is one reason why so many
Congress Shoes are now worn.
Another reason for Congress Shoes
is the fact that if you wear those
containing elastic stamped inside with
the words HUB GORE" you have
$4,000 Passenger Accident Insurance
on your life, under a policy now ex-
isting at the office of the U. S. Casual
ty Co., New York. The insurance con-
tinues as long as you wear the shoes.
Hub Gore elastic is also guaranteed
for the entire life of the shoes, or it is
replaced without charge. Ask your
shoe dealer about Hub Gore elastic in

have it.

Elmer f. Trask, while haying at his
farm out on the West River road one
day recently, found an extension case
in the field where it had apparently
been left the night before. The case
contained clothing which would be
worth about $25 besides papers and
other personal belongings. There was
nothing in the case which pointed to
its ownership other than some cards
upon which was the name, Fred f..
Pollock. How it came there and the

THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

The pupils in the law school were de-
lightfully entertained last Wednesday
evening by lecture on Corporation"
by ex-Attorney General Monnett, Of
Ohio. Mr.. Monnett told in an interesting
manner of his long and hard fight with
the Standard Oil Company.
The postgraduate class is making ar
rangemeilts to give smoker in about two
weeks at Fritz Reuters Hotel. The stu
dents are looking forward to the affair
with a great deal of interest.
The debating society of the Law School
recently extended challenge to the de-
batting society of the Columbian University
to meet them in public debate on some
subject that the Columbian students were
TO choose. The latter declined the invita-
ton, however. Offering as an excuse that
their time was already fully engaged.
The students are contemplating the or
ganization OF - Junior Congress. similar to
the one now existing at the Columbian.
The congress is for the purpose OF els
GUESSING questions and topics of the day.
The proceedings are the same as in the
House of Representatives.
There is considerable talk among the
post graduates OF reorganizing an ath-
letic association in the school. Messrs.
Wilson, Gossage, Nesbitt and Schuldt es-
tabiished such an organization last year.
and it proved a success. There are many
fine athletes in the senior and post-gradu-
ate classes this year, and ii is thought
that they could accomplish good work If
an association were formed.

Edgar Barnes, colonel Of the High
School Cadet Regiment, is one of the
most popular men who has ever held the
position. He is an enthusiastic military
instructor, and there is nothing that es-
capes his notice while he is drilling his
regiment.
When the announcement was made at
the beginning of the present school year
that, as a result of the competitive exam
ination for the regimental positions in
the High School Cadet Corps, that an
Eastern boy was to be the commanding
officer of cadets, it occasioned much sur
prise among the students and alumni of
the several schools. 1t had become an es
tablished belief that the colonelcy could
go only to a Central cadet, owing partly
to the fact that it supported more com
panies than any other school. and to the
fact that for seventeen successive years
one Of its members had worn the coveted
silver eagles of command. Year after
year the other schools had sent to the
examination candidates whom they
thought would surely carry off the highest
honors. In 1893 the Eastern School fully
expected that Harry Leonard. who has
since distinguished himself as an army
officer in the war in China. would bring
the position to the school; in 1897 it was
thought that John Bethune would be the
first Eastern colonel, and again in 1899

Van Potter spent months in study and
as had his predecessors, succeeded in cap
turing only the lieutenant colonelcy. How
ever, 1t remained for Colonel Barnes 20 do
that in which the others had gloriously
failed and Eastern hearts were made glad
with the honor which was conferred upon
the school in being made the headquarters
of the regiment, and upon the student who
had received his military and scholastic
training there.
Never had candidate to face greater
competition than Colonel Barnes for all
the aspirants were young men who stood
highest in their respective schools, and
each had spent months in preparation for
the examination. According to the rules
of the school board. the comparative
scholarship record of fourth year boys
in the four high schools determines who
shall be candidates for the regimental
positions. In other words, only the best
students can get into the examination and
the best enc of these, from a military
point of view. is selected by competition
for the honor of wearing the colonel's
straps. The examination is conducted by
board of military experts with Colonel
Burton r. Ross, as president. The con-
test next year promises to be very close
one, for the Eastern boys declare that
once theirs, the colonelcy shall never
leave the school. while the Central en-
thusiasts are confident of bringing it
back.

arrangements state that it will be the

The entire membership Of about one hun
dred young men has promised to be pres

joyable Among the invited guests will

Other Banquet Preparations.
The other classes at the university are
making active preparations for their an
pual banquets in the spring. A good deal
Of class spirit is being displayed In the
preparations, as each class is striving to
surpaEs the others in the matter OF ele-
gance and amusement.
The third year law class held a meet
ing recently to discuss some of the plans
for the graduation exercises. 1t was de-
cided that the members should wear caps
and gowns at the exercises, instead of
dress suits. For several years the law
graduates have adhered TO the use of the
cap and gown on the graduating night.

his own compositions, and in none of the
local high schools can they be surpassed
