The juniors, who sometime ago ad

their class have not received any ap-
plication az vt The necessary qusliti.

They are now, however, considering
replies from a ladies seminary in Homo

Anderson, was taken sick in Chicago
during vacation. but is expected to re
turn soon. One of the seniors, Mr.

divisions, the Paris or French division
and the Jerusalem or Hebrew division.
