According to his story, a gentleman

The admission Of a colored man who
was arrested at Salisbury for shoot
ing a railroad conductor. that he and
other negroes from Virginia were be-
ing taken TO Delaware to register as
voters. should put every honest Della

species Of fraud. There have been
many rumors that colonization was to
be attempted on a large scale in Kent

THREE YEARS TO GRADUATE

A bright, energetic young man may
now complete his collegiate course at
either of three great universities in
three years. This is something of a
revolution, and at a time when profess
sional courses are lengthening, the
first impression may be that a mistake
has been made. But the extension and
broadening Of the professional courses
has probably been the cause Of cutting
on one year at the college. -Four years
in college and the same length of time
in the professional schools, or eight
years in all, take out OF a mans life a
great slice, and the expense is beyond
the means of the average young man
For some years there has been a feeling
that men came into the professions
too late in life, and that there ough

ton at some point. But the develop

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
cuba's Dark Prospect

From the Tacoma Ledger.
The consensus Of opinion is that the
prospects of Cuba are far from roseate.
Unhappily, nobody seems able to offer
a solution of a problem that is all the
time becoming more pressing The
fact that the sugar industry is at a low
ebb. and conditions growing worse. is
urged as a reason for reciprocity. The
circumstance that the average Cuban
entertains toward the United states an
animosity little less than hatred also
is worth considering. The policy Of
turning the other cheek has hmita-

The Rev. Max Halpern, of Boston,
has discovered melodies in which the
songs OF David and Solomon were
sung, and in which the
prayers were chanted. Thus the Jews
have not only the words, but the melo-
dies which were used centuries before
the Christian era. In a sense, the voice
of a people which lived and worshiped
three thousand years ago is heard
again.
