King Alfonso and the Cigarette.

An amusing anecdote about the
young king of Spain is going the
rounds at Madrid, says the London
Globe The king went one evening to
see the Prince of Asturias, who was
in command of the Palace Guards, and
asked for cigarette. This being for
hidden, the prince refused, saying:
Your majesty, the guard is not per
mitted to smoke Alfonso addressed
himself 40 another officer and rece1v-
ed a similar reply. He then walked
to a private and said sharply: Give
me cigarette" The soldier replied:
81 have no cigarettes, but if YOU like
to make one here are paper and
tobacco" Thereupon his majesty
turned to the Prince of Asturias and
remarked: well, have found some
one who obeys his king"

Paramount, W. Va, Aug. 1.-THE
coal fields of the northern part of West

tried to bring West Virginia under
their influence through organization
of the miners, and each time they have

RICHARD COLE SUSPECTED
OF Murder Of Mrs. Ada G. Dennis, thu
Washington Dressmaker.

Washington. Nov. 7.-Richard Cole, a
coiored porter. 20 years old. was arrested
To-Day, and committed to Jail to await the
actlon OF the grand jury on the charge
OF committing the assault on Mrs Ada
GlipeTf Dennissa well-known dressmaker
at her home in this city over 10 months
ago. Mrs. Dennis died from her injuries
about a fortnight ago. without recover
ing sufficiently to talk nationally

proprietor of the Brunswick Hotel, testi-
ned, today, before the coroner's Jury that,
March 10. Cole had said somethin. to him
to the effect that he (Cole) would be a
happy man If Mrs. Dennis was dead and
also had said once when he looked wor-
ried:
Yes, if you had on your mind what |
ried. too"
Van Brake said Cole made certain
statements regarding the reason why ne
did not care to visit the sick woman,
among other things that Mrs. Dennis
might say something which would re-
open the investigation.
Detective Hartigan, who has been
working on the case ever since the crime
was committed, testified that Cole is the
only person among those he investiGad-
ed who wavered in his statements.
Cole, who also testified before the cor

and protested that he had assisted the
authorities. He denied using language at

WE NEED SOME TRANSPORTS.
Gen. Ludinston Would Not Have All
of Them Sold.

washington, Nov. THE annual re.
mort of General NJ. I. Ludington, quar-
,srmaster general, is review of the
work. done by his department during
the year.
The most interesting feature is what
he has to say regarding the trans
,or,s in view of the desire in some
nuarters to dispose of them. He says
tha, the ships are fitted up i'm the best
,,ossible shape for the transportation
~ troops and that representatives OF
toreieu nations have asked for plans
of the fittings with a view of improv
inc their transports. The report con-
tinues:
"NearIy every ship sailing from Ma
Ill. had OF board about 100 sick, who
r,ere provided with every attention and
comfort in the transport hospitals that
,,ou,d be found in any well regulated
hospital ashore.
ar the many thousands of persons
,bo have been transported on the yes
coils of the army transport service since
ms inception. not one life has been sac
ridced by reason of any fault in the
attine or accommodation upon the ar
nv transport.
.In view Of this excellent record. and
of the experience of the department in
its futile efforts to secure suitable COM
mercial ships for the transportation Of
the army during the war with Spain.
and the further fact that when with
drawn from active service the trans
norris cannot be advantageously dis
posed of by sale. l am firmly con-
WINGED that even though circumstances
should permit the withdrawal of the
transports from regular lines service to
bte Philippine islands, it would be wise
policy to retain a sufficient number of
transports as part of the equipment
Of the army to be economically cared
for and kept in such condition as to be
promptly available for any emergency
which may arise requiring the trans
portation of troops on the ocean,"

out that girls at women's colleges and

Prof Angel would not condemn one
class of institutions without criticising
the others.
He does not believe that coeducation
has a monopoly of either the virtues or
the vices of the educational world, and
adds:
ut is a safe assertion that many young
men and women would be better off in
colleges of some other variety. Expert
ence certainly suggests that coeduca-
tional university is dangerous place to
send young women, brought up in schools
for boys or girls. sevcrally. The sending

This is really the keynote to the sit

of the inadvisability Of associating i'm the

be accepted in the conservative spirit in
which they are advanced without weak
ening the argument in favor of segrega-

THE GAME At BRUNSWICK.
The Great Contest Between Bowdoin
and Bates, Today.

Brunswick Me-, Nov. 7.-(SpeciaD.-
The chief topic for conversation at
Bowdoin is the football game with
Bates which will be played, Saturday.
on Whittier field. The team has been
hard at work the whole week and prac-
tice has been secret since Tuesday.
The men are not over-cOnfident but
hope to win and will do all in their
power to do so. Manager Nutter has
not given out the lineup and probably
the makeup of the team will not be
known before Saturday afternoon.
At Lewiston the Bates supporters are
very confident and many think that
Bates will keep Bowdoin from scoring,
while she expects at least two touch
downs. Bates money on the game is
said to be plenty. Saturdays game
will be one of the most important
games played in Maine this year and a
large crowd is expected. The game
will be called at $50.
The challenge which Manager Nutter
sent to Colby for a second game has
thus far been ignored and the only
notice which has been taken of it is
the short piece printed in "a Water
vile paper, which says that the Colby
management will not reply to the chal-
lenge. The first talk of a second game
came from Colby sources. If a second
game between Bowdcin and Colby is
not arranged, BowdOin will complete her
schedule on Saturday. Nov. Is, when
she will meet the University of Maine
at Bangor. Arrangements for a special
train from Brunswick will probably be
made on that date.
