The postal authorities at Washing

The postal authorities at Washing
ton, recognizing the liability of post
masters to make mistakes in getting
letters in wrong boxes, have fixed a
penalty of 5000 on persons taking
mail out of the Office other than their
own and not returning it. The law
is to have people look at their mail
before taking it out of the Office and
if they should have mail other than
their own they must return it at
once. 1t also includes newspapers.
The excuse that it is the postmaster's
fault "cuts no ice." If you have been
getting other peoples mail you had
better take warning or you may get
yourself in trouble.

Edison, the Inventor.

Thomas Alva Edison is forty-fTe
years old. Up to now 762 patents es
have been issued to him: HIS 1rst
invention was in 1869. The carbon
telephone is his. The incandescent
lamp is his greatest contribution it IS
said. For years he has given almost
his entire time to practical inventions
bearing on production and commerce.
He has great private laboratory at
Orange, n. j.. 1t is wonder. A
writer in the Cosmopolitan says that
it NAV truly be said TO be the greatest
exponent of invention, as an art, the
world has yet known. He is at
work, and has been for years, on "a
storage battery" 1t is looked for With
great interest as it is hoped and eX-
pected that it will be Of great import
ance to the world-"h his greatest COM
mercal success. He is a strong be
lever in the important discoveries to
come in the twentieth cenury. he
thinks they will more than rival those
of the nineteenth. There are more work
ers ne says, and "they know more.
He is indeed marvellous inventive
genius, a great honor to his country,
and his name will go sounding down
the ages. a writer in Cosmopolitan
says:
Edison was recently asked to name
his principal inventions. He replied,
charcateristically:
;. The first and foremost; the idea
of the electric lighting station; ther-
let me see, what have l invented
well, there was the mimeograph, and
the electric pen, and the carbon tele-
phone, and the incandescent lamp and
its accessories, and the quadruplex
telegraph, and the automatic teie-
graph, and the phonograph, and the
kinetoscope and-I don't know, a
whole lot of other things. , y

Whooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience with
this disease, tells how to prevent any
dangerous consequences from it. She says:
Our three children took whooping cough
last summer, our baby boy being only three
months old, and owing to our giving them
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, they lost
none of their plumpness and came out IN
much better health than other children
whose parents did not use this remedy.

been refused. This was on Thursday
morning after Thornwell was suspend
ed on Wednesday night and five days
before the class left.
At the afternoon session Cadet
Zeigler resumed his testimony. He
stated that the seniors and Juniors had
Col. Simpson to address them on the
day after the sophomores left and that
his talk satisfied them and prevented
their leaving also.
President Hartzog. at this point
stated as his personal character was
involved he asked that every cadet
and every member of the faculty be
invited into the chapel to hear the re-
mainder of the trial This was done
and all college work was suspended and
soon all the cadets and faculty were
assembled in the chapel.
Cadet Garner was next sworn. 1t
was Garner who received Cadet Halls
affidavit to the effect that President
Hartzog refused to allow him to go
to Pendleton to see Col. Simpson.
He read this affidavit and then gave
testimony similar to Zeigler.
Cadet Clarence Hall was the next
witness. He was member of the
sophomore class.
he said it was the general belief
that President Hartzog knew why
Hill wanted to see Simpson and in
other respects his evidence tailed
with that of the others. The reason
why they did not appeal to the board
through the president was they fear
ed he would bias their case. He said
the class could have seen Col. Simp-
son after the permit had been refused
if they had tried, but that they pre-
ferred not to stay on in the college IN
der its present administration. He
told of the pledge that the cadets had
signed to leave the college unless
Thornwen was reinstated but claimed
that there was no attempt or intention
to coerce the faculty as they thought
the faculty would reverse its action
after fully understanding the case:
The case has not been concluded.

Cadet Douthet had several petitions
asking for reinstatement, and among
them was one which did not bave the
Objectionable feature. This was read
and accepted and then Douthet pre-
sented lengthy statement setting
forth the position of the sophomores
and iustifying their course. The
sooho,Aores have been condemned for
leav ng without appealing to the
board. The boys claim they intended
to do this: that Cadet Hill OF Able
vile vent to President Eartzog and
asked permission to 60 to Pendleton,
and see Col. Simpson, the President
of the board, in regard to this very
matter, and that President Hartzog,
learning his intention, refused to
allow him to leave the college grounds.
Cadet Roberts of the sophomore class
was sworn. He testified that the class
had instructed Hill as one of the lead
ing members to go to Pendleton to see
Col. Simpson and that he made ap-
plication to go to Pendleton for this
purpose The general impression was
that Hill was going to enter an ap-
peal, and that the reason he DID not
state it to President Hartzog was that
the permission might not be granted.
President Hartzog asked Roberts If the
cadets thought he (Hartzog( would
not submit to the board an appeal,
and Roberts replied affirmatively with
out hesitation.
President Hartzog cross examined
Roberts closely, and Roberts main
tanned and reiterated his statements,
face to face. After further close ques-
tioning by the president, Mr.. Roberts
indicated very plainly that the class
went out largely because of distrust OF
President Hartzog.
Cadet NJ. E. Zeigler was next sworn.
