Boston, Mass-The authorities at
Harvard are waging war against the
stealing of all sorts of signs. During
the recess, which has just closed, the
bursar directed the porters of all the
buildings under the direction of the
college to remove all wooden and tin
signs from the rooms. In accordance
with the order the pOrters went
through the buildings the latter part
of the week and made clean sweep
of all signs which might have been
stolen. When the students got back
many of them noticed that their pet
signs were missing from their places
of honor on the walls, and a tremen-
dous howl at once went up. The stu
dents at once sought out the porters,
but they could only refer them to
their superiors. There was no retrac-
ton of the order however, and it will
stand at least for the present. A num-
Der of the students from whose rooms
signs were taken did not rag" them
but came by them honestly. 1t is
these who have raised the greatest
object ion. and it is probable that they
will insist on having their property
given back to them. There was also
considerable feeling that the bursar
had ordered the signs taken away from
the rooms while the men were away
from Cambridge.

A great many so-called illnesses are
probably the result of boredom-that
is, the lack Of some mental stimulus
sufficiently strong to overcome the
frequent disQuieting symptoms to
which humanity is heir and which un.
doubtedly can often be converted into
bona fide ailments by mental sugges-
ton. This is certainly true of three
fourths of milady's indispositions, says
tie New York Tribune, which disap-

A dispatch from Frank, British Co
lumbia: A tremendous reverberation
shook the whole valley OF the olu
Mans river one morning al O'Clock
recently. and scarcely half the inhaDl-
tants OF this town awakened TO re-
ali2ation of the impending danger
when from the top or Turtle mountain
overlooking the settlement, millions OF
tons of rock were hurled.
The Frank mines, operated by the
French Canadian Coal company, across
the river from the town, were seen 10
be buried under hundreds Of feet or
rock.
The volunteer relief force was unable
to get into the mine. but managed to
get near enough to determine that not
Il man at work had escaped death and
many had been tearfully mangied.
The disaster was merciful to those
men who were employed above ground
in that they must have been killed in
stantly.
The disaster was not confined to the
vicinity of the mine alone, for many
of the dwelling houses in the town OF
Frank were demolished by the railing
rocks. Some of the occupants OF those
houses escaped death. but many others
were instantly killed.
Il is conseryatively estimated that
the loss of life will exceed 100.
1t has been discovered that the earth
opened for three-quarters of mile
and many feet in width. and that the
whole northern face of Turtle noun
tain slipped from its place.
The shCck resultant upon the preclp-
itaton of the millions of tons OF rock
into the valley. while only demolish-
| ing comparatively few of the houses,
shook the foundations of majority of
the dwellings in the town so that they
are unsafe to live in. and many nun
dreds of people will have to live in
the open air or under such temporary
shelter as may be procurable.
| The railroad track for Il distance of
two miles or more east of the station
is covered with from 10 to 40 feet Of

Washington. d. C.-The postmaster

he says reports have reached him that
there are persons doing duty in the
department who are carried on the
rolls either of the Washington city

are employed under a specific appro-
priation for other purposes than de-
partment service in Washington, and
the termination of this practise wher-
ever it exists is directed. All such per-
sons are ordered to report for duty al
the place and the Office from which
they are detailed. As a result Of the
order four employees of the Washing
