To 20 back to the quest ION Of selecting
a college or private school there Is another
group besides that made UP, OF parents
and guardians for whom this problem
comes home every autumn. bringing with
il an .eute anxiety which deserves sym.
pathetic respect. This is the group OF
ambitious young men who wish to start
ont in life equipped with a college or uni
yersi,y education, and, having neither
parents nor guardians able to solve for
them the riddle Of how to get it, are thrown
their own resources to solve II lor 'heh-
selves ,.
There was one instance Of q student at
Harvard University whose accounts show
that in his first year he earned S3l6 ana
spent, or got credit, for 1881. In his second
year he earned S345; while his expenses were
1901. In his third year things TOOK ahoehea
turn. Instead of running behind, he
earned S274 more than he spent ana was
enabled to pay up all the arrearages OF
the preceding two years and have snug
little sum left over
His accounts for the four years showed
that lie came out of college, graduating well
up in his class, with cash capital OF sss2,
more than half as much as his entire col
lege course had cost him. This, however;
was a case so exceptional that 1t would
be highly delusive to take 1t az gllde,
for not one young man III many numerous
could come anywhere near matching it,
Harvard advises that a student who
cannot command $500 for his first years
expenses wait until he can. Harvard
Columbia, Chicago University and some
other institutions have agencies through
which students who are working their way
may find employment.E .sr,v-.- .- O..

 Pekin, December 23.-The new Chinesef board of commerce has promulgated thd railway laws compiled by Wu Ting Fangl former minister to Washington, and now vice president of the board, of which Prince Tsai Chen. son of Prince Chings is president These laws are calculated to materially cripple the borrowing cal pacity of the railway companies and to restrict the control of the railways to the Chinese security holders.

 Mrs. Langtry, who presented Mrs. Deering's Divorce" last evening at the Jefferson, bore the scrutiny of largnettes with the same indifference characteristic of her m other years. Although slightly fatigued from her tour through the south she gave no evidence of weeks of travel and to those in the audience who had seen her In the heyday of her career she appeared to have lost none of her great beauty. The years have, if possi- be, only deepened the charm of her unusual personality and few women of the stage are today more fascinating, beautiful or graceful than this American woman, who nearly twenty years ago created furor on two continents
 Mrs. Langtrys claims to beauty were great enough to have made her the most talked of woman in this country To her | charms she has added great histrionic ability and he continued triumphs her vogue in London, her popularity in this country, must be greatly in- | fluenced by her meeting so well all the requirements of art Mrs. Langtry is an artist and something of a playwright as we'll She is happy in the selection of her plays, and is perfectly suited to the modern comedies which she invariably presents.
 As Mrs Deering she pours tea charm ingly, plays bridge. quarrels with her husband, acts the role of the divorcee wears pretty gowns. and who will say that this does not require a knowledge of art. No one is quite able to invest a Lon don drawing-room play with as much as interest, no one gives it the same touch of l comedy, and with equal truth 1t may be l said that few artists could have made Mrs. Deering so impossible, so irresisti- ble, woman of so many fascinating moods as did Mrs. Langtry. Her ovation before a Birmingham audience would have pleased the most exacting star.
 Mrs Langtry was supported by the members of her Imperial Theatre com pany. The entire performance was one of the most finished ever presented in this city Every member of her company is exceedingly capable, and the large audi ence was delighted.

Pekin. December 23.-The optimistic feel ing in some quarters concerning war be- tween Japan and Russia is not shared by the other diplomats at Pekin whose knowledge of the political situation of affairs entities that opinion to the high est consideration. It is positively known that the Japanese government has drawn the line for a settlement beyond which 1t will not make any material concessions, and that she is determined to fight before yielding what she considers to be her vital interests. It is believed that un- less Russia comedies important points. another exchange of notes will precipitate matters.

David Warfeld, who is to be at the Jefferson theatre next Monday. is now in his third season as a star. His two pre- vious tours were marked by unusual success. After his debut two years ago at the Bijou theatre in New York, his fame spread rapidly and the enthusiasm with which the entire New York press lauded his acting after the opening per- formance has been re-echoed throughout the entire country.

nounced from St. Petersburg and which 1t is now supposed was intended by the Russian government as a afeeler.' This would be a violation of expressed pledges given to Japan and China.
 Minister Uchida Is reported to have said he would be obliged to resign his post in the event of such an agreement. The most dangerous factors in the situation are the confidence of the Russian off, cials in the far east that a war would mean an easy victory for Russia and the challenging tone of the Russian officials and newspapers.
 The intelligent Chinese officials await developments with the deepest anxiety. They foresee the many perils menacing China in the event of war, and the pos abilities that partition of the empire may result from China's inability to maintain the neutrality of her harbors and subjects.
 The younger officials and the newspa- pers discuss the possibilities of an ali- ance between China and Japan, but the only available Chinese troops arc the 15, GOO Japanese trained men of Yuan Shl Ka (who was recently appointed com mander of the imperial army and navy), who might fight under foreign leaders, but WHoSe present OIHcefS are incompetent and of doubtful courage.
 Russsia's Reply Expected.
 St. Petersburg, December 23.-Russia's reply to Japan is momentarily expected to be delivered. The foreign office off cials and diplomats continue to express the opinion that as both parties earnest ly desire a peaceful settlement. and as their allies have left nothing undone to this end, war will be averted. An ear ly conclusion of the negotiations, how ever, seems unlikely.

Dramatic interest for the past three weeks has centered in the appearance evening of Blanche Walsh in "Resurrec- tion."

All of MT. Pinero's plays are regarded as of the highest order. both in dramatic construction and from a literary point of view.
