straw hat. A real Panama hat. costing
from Sl2'up. will wear from ten to fifteen
years. according to usage.
The price at least suggests that the
Panama hat is distinctly possessed OF
staying qualities. and of this there can
be no doubt. since with reasonable treat
ment it will last for years and look well
all the time The secret appears to be
never to send such hat to be cleaned
in the Ordinary way. since the use OF
acids will inevitably impoverish the plait.
Occasional sponging with a little coid
water will remove all traces Of dust ana
dirt and render the article as good as
new.
Especially suitable is the Panama for
country wear. and for cycling and boating.
Indeed, feminine instinct has been so
quick to appreciate the advantages oil

ton in question will receive such coun-
tenance as to constitute. in this instance.

POLICE AFTER HIGHWAYMEN.
Strong Efforts Being Made to Catch
Those Who Held Up Mr. Kane.

Both the Detective Bureau and the First
precinct officials are making every effort
TO arrest the two highwaymen who, at the
point of a pistol, compelled John Kane,
living at 30S Twelfth Street northwest,
to give them s27, while he was walking
on the south side of Ohio Avenue north
west. between Twelfth and Thirteenth
Streets northwest. on Sunday morning.
The robbery was one of the most dar-
ing that has occurred in the First pre-
cinct for years. and has caused the police
of that district to adopt energetic efforts
TO put stop TO such practices. The scene
of the hoidup is but two blocks from the
Twelfth Street station house, and Is
place especially adapted to such work,
the lighting being very poor. Mr.. Kane
claims that the men first approached him
and asked him for match, and that
while he was fumbling in his pockets for
that article, one of them suddenly pro-
duced revolver. and, sticking 1t into his
face, demanded his money. He realized
there was no chance to put up a fight,
owing to the odds against him, ana conse-
quently gave over TO the two men all the
money he possessed. The men then ran
down Thirteenth Street toward the Agri-
cultural grounds. Nr. Kane claims that
he went over TO two citizens who were
standing on a nearby corner and asked
them TO come TO his assistance, but they
refused. a5.nI
Yesterday morning Captain Boardmnn,
chief of detectives, detailed Detective
Sergeant Hartigan to assist the First pre-
cinct police in the work, and the police
have now secured n clew which. 1t is be-
lieved, will lead to the arrest Of the men.
Kane also gave the police good descrip-
tions OF the fugitives, both OF whom he
asserts were white men.

FEARS THAT OxFORD'S
STANDARD MAY DROP
Prof Case Looks for Chaos If the Uni
versity Gives Up Compul-
sory Greek.

LONDON. May 4.-Thomas Case. wayn-
flete. professor Of moral and metaphysical
philosophy at Oxford, has an article in the
National Review dealing with Mr. Cecil
Rhodes will, which is attracting consid-
cradle attention. Prof Case declares that
the benefaction to Oriel is of unmixed
good, as the enlargement of the college
precincts will enable more men to live in
the college.
In his opinion, oxford lost more than
it gained when 1t abandoned its tradi-
ton of over four centuries and permit
ted the system of lodgings, which loos-
ened the hold of the colleges on the
undergraduates. But In regard TO Mr..
Rhodes scholarships. while claiming that
Oxford NOW has a unique opportunity of
doing more good without doing anything
than she has ever done by her own ex-
ertions." Prof. Case expresses the fear
that the opportunity will be neglected.
He refers TO the present regulations
which make Latin, Greek. and mathe-
MATES compulsory subjects. Before any
student can enter for examination quail
flying for degree in any subject he mist
pass responsions which demand a GER
tain amount of Greek, Latin, and mathe-
matics. The amount is not very serious.
but in one or the other subject there is
often a stumbling block TO q specialist.
There will long be an agitation on the
part OF small minority against COM
pulsory Greek.
The recrudescence Of this agitation Is
synchronized with the publication OF Mr.
Rhodes Will. Prof. Case thinks the ad-
vocates for change will certainly pounce
on the will and oxford will shortly find
herself confronted by the momentous
question-is she to extend her qualifca-
tion of Greek. Latin, and mathematics
over the world, or is she to allow the
world to lower her Standard"
Give up Creek says Prof. Case. "and
civilization becomes chaos"
Prof. Case goes on to urge that Greek
was never more necessary than now in
the present upheaval of thought and Ok
ford would lose her essence II she sur
rendered to the demand now made in this

MORE DISc0MTENT AT
WAR OFFICE METHODS.
Government Accused of Sacrificing Vol
unteers to the Upkeeping Of
Game Preserves.

LONDON May 4.-There are signs of a
renewal of expressions Of discomfort at
the war Offices methods and the new reg
ulations for volunteers. They have caused
considerable dissatisfaction. and especially
as they rendered 1t impossible for many
volunteers to remain in the service
But it was urged that the volunteers
must be made a thoroughly efficient body.
aud must be thoroughly trained in field
tactics in open order. and not merely in
drill halls ard on parade grounds. Lord
Stanley. when asked in Parliament
whether the war office was taking steps
to secure open spaces for the London
volunteers. who are a large and fine body
of men, replied that the cos. of securing
such places IL the immediate vicinity was
prohibitive.
What is generally demanded is that the
volunteers shall have the use of Rich
mond Park. which is kept up at public ex-
pense and is admirably adapted for these
purposes. The members of the Cabinet,
however. are making the excuse in Parli-
ament of the fear ''of injuring wild birds,
especially herons."
othti ptopic- VIII less CildTltaDle,
suggest that the government is sacrific-
ing the volunteers to the pheasant pre-
serves. The press, from papers such as
the Post" downard. is protesting vigor-
ously against this example OF refusing
the means which il processes to advocate
OF securing efficiency.
The Saturday Review" in savage
article under the head "The Roberts
Ring" declares that things in the army
are worse than ever, and influence is now
more than ever the only sure road to
success"
The Review" accuses Lord Roberts
pointblank of countenancing II not ac-
lively patronizing abuses. 1t says:
He may sometimes merely acquiesce,
but some of the worse cases of jobs done
in South Africa were certainly due to
his personal initiative. and the impress
sion thus created Is confirmed by many
officers who served under him when he
held the Indian command. In a word. his
character is consp!cuously lacking in
fairness
