There are increasing signs that the scholarships
beoueathed by Mr. Rhodes for the benefit OF Ger
man students wishing TO study at Oxford must De

little time ago 1t resolved. at representative
meeting OF all the German University corps OF
duelling clubs, held at K6sen the saale' that
tba members OF these combatant corporations
would have nothing TO do with the Rhodes schoiar-
ships and one curious feature OF this decision
was that It was come to by delegates VINO must
have included representatives of the ''Borussians
at Ronn whose ranks comprise the German Crown
Prince. The Rhodes resolution OF the representa-
tive corps seniors-who meet periodically In the
restaurant of ruined old schloss on the romantic
saale TO discuss questions or dueIlng etiquetIc'
etc-was not very surprising. seeing tnat among
the lighting corps many arstocratic ana
wealthy students or the junker type, who repre-
sent the maddest form of ultra-Chauvfnism. or
Young Germanism.
Rut If is a little astonishing to find that the stu
dents of ottingen-representing all classes at the
university as 1t must be assumed-have now fol
lowed the example OF 1.-The Kosener," by deciding
not to profit by any of the Rhodes stipendia This
decision is all the more surprising, as G6ttingen

.orhe Fort Scott CKan) Monitor relates
amusing story OF an insane doctor in Hatville
He was tried by the Probate Court and adjudsed
insane. The asylum was not prepared 10 receive
him and so for some weeks he confined in
the county Jail Last Tuesday a delegation of citl-
zens from Hiatville appeared before the Probate
Judge and asked that the doctor might be sent
home pending his admission to the asylum we
have an unusual amount of sickness In our vtcin-
ty" said the spokesman: 1--WE have great conii-
dence In our old doctor. and we want him to come
sic
ed and the old doctor went home to take up his
practice 1t should be explained, perhaps that the
doctor had been drinking heavily. and 1t was be-
leyed that he would be all right if he left whiskey
alone But the TACT remains that a man who has
been adjudged insane in the regular course of
legal procedure is turned loose without legal pro-
cedlre to take up the practice of a profession
which deals with the life and health of the people
of his community. And there is something very
suggestive OF Dogberry in the admonition of the
Probate Judge the victim, that if he went insane
again Ohat is, if he took TO drink he would be
clapped into the asylum quicker than cat can
bat It's eye.
