ParOIed Convict is Tsreeludea by Law
from Obeying nerAhnds

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 1S.-Jim
Younger wants to get married. He cannot
because he is legally dead hence is unable
to enter into any contract
Younger submitted the question Of
whether or not he could wed to Governor
Van SAINT, who has looked into the matter
with some surprising results. In Minne-
sofa man who is a life prisoner is ctvilly
dead. The only way he can make any
binding contract, in the eyes of the law, is
through the board which paroles him, In
this case the State Board Of Control, which
board is empowered to enter into a contract
for him. 1t is not probable, however, that
the three members of the board OF control,
separately or as a whole, win agree TO
enter into a marriage contract with any
woman for the bene1t OF the parcled life
convict.
The only way for Jim Younger to become
a married man in Minnesota Is to get a
pardon which will restore him to the rights
Of living citizen. Another phase of the
law is that neither Jim Younger nor his
brother II they establish business OF

WORK or TUSKEGEE NEGROES
Superior Cotton is Raised for German
Government by Booker WASH
ingtOn's Pupils.

BERLIN, March 1s.-The negroes of the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute,
who were engaged In the latter part Of 1900
by the German government to teach the
natives of Togoland, West German Africa,
how to grow cotton, have, according to
the report Of the colonial committee, sue
ceeded in producing cotton which is graded
on the Bremen exchange above American
middling.
The Tuskegee negroes have demonstrated
that the land in Togoland is suitable for
cotton, of which there is great abundance.
The only obstacle to the commercial utili-
cation of this product is transportation, and
especially getting the bales to the coast.
The colonial committee has sent an ex-
pedition Of engineers to survey for a rail-
road from the coast town Of LONE to the
interior.l

America receive orders from the vatican

In view of information on Philippines

Governor of Virginia Objects to

RICHMOND. Va, March 13.-Governor
Montague today vetoed the Joint assembly
resolution appropriating $780, 900 for pen
sions for confederate veterans on consti-
tutional and technical grounds. His mes
sage says in part:
The justice and expediency of pensions
are not involved. All are agreed that the
state should do its Utmost TO aid the needy
and deserving veterans, but all must con-
cede that the needy and deserving alone
should be the recipient of the money APP
propriated The present law is far from
satisfactory, resulting in Irregularities and
Injustice which should not be possible
under any future pension legislation.

the two buildings together to cost $780,
0o0 provided by June, 1902, the students
and their friends could procure $3.50 900
on their part. Miss Thomas herself,
aided by Bryn Mawr's alumnee, accom-
plished the work. A few days before
commencement this year she visited
Boston in search of contributions and
obtained them. Miss Mary Garrett of
Baltimore, an intimate friend of the
woman university president. gave $780,
600 toward the $3.50 900. So Bryn Mawr.
the American womans university, will
go on and prosper.
When Sargent's portrait o. Miss
Thomas was presented to Bryn Mawr
college, Louise Sheffield Brownel, one
of the best known of its alumnse, in
her speech said of its president:
"Of what she has given US individual
ly I cannot trust myself to speak-the
unfailing stimulus of her personality,
her sympathy in our work not as the
work of an individual, but as part of
the work for woman's education which
we are here to do, the standard for
work which she herself sets us-all
these and more than these have made
us different from what we were, have
burdened US with a debt unpayable
save with a lifelong gratitude and a de-
termination. lifelong as well. that since
we are her work we shall carry that
work of hers to the highest heights we
can" MARY KNIGHT.

In 1895 the New York legislature enact
ed a law allowing the alumni of Cornell
to select five trustees. These, of course.
they chose from their own number.
Thereupon the alumne of Cornell,
whom the boy students treated none
too wen at college. resolved that there
should be a woman trustee on that
board or they would know the reason
why Miss Thomas was their candi-
date, and all their womans enthusi-
asm was called out in the campaign
for her. The method was for the
friends of a candidate to issue a print
ed circular setting forth the individuals
qualifica lions for the post To this were
appended Endorsements from alumni
friends and prominent personages
wherever they could be obtained. Cor
nell has women graduates in all our
large cities. Moreover, however unpop-
ular coeducation may be with the boy
students of Cornell, rather curiously
after they themselves have been grad
uated therefrom. they somehow see a
great light and change their minds so
that majority of the men alumni are
actually in favor of coeduca ton.
With only less enthusiasm than that
displayed by the alumnR the alumni of
Cornell voted to make Miss Thomas
trustee. The result was that she. a wo-
man. received nearly three times as
many Endorsements as any man on the
list. though her candidacy was one of
the last to be announced. She was a
Cornell trustee until 1899 In 1896 the
University Of Western Pennsylvania
conferred on her the degree of LII. d.
Besides being coed, she is a woman
suffragist.
The power and influence of this really
extraordinary woman both at Bryn
Mawr and outside can scarcely be
measured. On commencement day.
June. 1901, she made public in her ad-
dress the pressing needs of Bryn Mawr
Unless a new dormitory, library, lee
ture room and lighting and heating
plant were added it would be impossi-
BILE for the school to maintain its high
educational standard. She appealed ell
oquently to students and to the people
to see that Bryn Mawr should not be
crippled for want of funds.
The appeal was answered-that is to
say, as most appeals are answered, aft
er strenuous effort on the part of those
who make them. Last December Miss
Thomas received a letter from John D.
Rockefeller offering to erect the dornli-
terry and the lighting and heating plant.

P Fam i i PRESIDENT

II YOUNG man who could pass the
examinations to enter Bryn
La Mawr college for women might
well be satisfied with himself.
AS an aid to admission a candi-
Gate will find that two years previous
course in one of the ordinary small col
leges win be eminently desira BILE. In
truth. Bryn Mawr comes nearer being
q woman's university than does any
ether institution of learning for the
feminine sex in the world. That a
school in the United States should enjoy
this noble distinction ought to make
American women feel proud indeed.
Bryn Mawr owes it's high standard
more to its president, Miss NJ Carey
Thomas than to any other one person.
Miss Thomas succeeded DR.. Rhoads.
who made an innovation on the old
time idea of governing a girls school.
Till recently young ladies' schools had
more rules than learning. When DR..
Rhoads became president of Bryn
Nawr, he announced that there would
be no rules except those which con-
trolled good society. Later the Stu
dents Self Governing association was
formed, which puts the making of rules
and regulations for conduct in the hands
Of the undergraduates themselves. The
system from the beginning has worked
admirably An atmosphere of serene.
polite good order invests Bryn Mawr
noticeably. This is owing perhaps to
two main reasons. one that the found
ers and managers of the institution. in
GLIDING Miss Thomas herself, are either
members or descendants of the Society
of Friends, who have fostered for CEN
turtles the beautiful Inner quiet of the
spirit. The other reason is that at
Bryn Mawr there is so much solid work
to be done it soon drives away to fields
less sacred to learning the reckless.

Miss NJ. Carey Thomas is the ideal
American college bred new woman.
There is scarcely a man in the United
States who is her superior in scholar
ship She is a Baltimore woman and
was born Jan. 2, 1857. At the age of
twenty this brilliant, handsome girl was

From Cornell she went a year to Johns
