Presidents Butler and Eliot Defeated

BOSTON, July 9.-The National Educa-
.iohdl association to-day held the annual
business meeting. at which, after the cleo
tloh OF officers, which passed off without
excitement. John w. Cook, of Illinois, being
made president, an attempt was made by
president Butler. of Columbia, and Presi-
oent Eliot, of Harvard to amend the by
laws so that members of the nominating
committee might be named by the president
instead OF by the state delegates. This was
SlFenuouusiy opposed by Miss Margaret A.
HaIey, or Chicago, who made such a forci-
Die plea in favor of state representation
that she succeeded in carrying the meeting
and in routing the two college presidents
The usual sessions OF the different de-
partments were held during the morning,
while most OF the $4,000 visiting delegates
spent the afternoon in sightseeing, excur-
slons being made to many of the nearby
towns OF historic interest, such as Concord,
Lexington, Plymouth, Provincetown, Cam
bridge, Salem and Marblehead.

SUBSTITUTE OPIUM BILL.
Signers of Protest Alleged to Be I'm

MANILA, July 9.-The public discussion
of the opium bill was continued before the
United States commission to-day. American
lawyers, representing the Asiatic local syn
dicates, and also the monopolists operating
in Hong-kong and Singapore. argued in IA
vor of the adoption Of the bill and quoted
statistics showing that the rapid spread Of
the opium habit had been undermining the
Filipinos since the expiration OF the span
ish monopoly.
on cross-examnaIion the opponents or
the bill proved that many signers or the
Chinese Chamber OF Commerce. mammoth
protest. which is backed by the Evangelical
Union. are the chief importers and dis
tributers of opium, and that hence they are
occupying an untenable position IN favor
ing a prohibition which, If effective, would
ruin the signers.
The commission introduced a substitute
hill making the Importation of opium un-
lawful except by pharmacists and permit
ting the disposal of the drug only by
nhysician's certificate. Final action IN the
matter is indefinitely delayed.

ROME, July 10. a. m.-Another night of
alternate hopes and fears has passed and
Pope Leo's life still hangs in the balance.
Beginning with renewed hopes, Thursday
closed with the scales turning slowly but
surely downwards. How long this agoniz-
ing period of suspense will last not even
the attending doctors dare to say. The bull
letin issued at 7:sO o'clock last night read:
1.-The general condition of the Illus
trious patient having become de-
pressed, a consultation was held at
: o'clock with the participation OF
Prof Rossoni. From objective ex-
animation it appears that the liquid
is again rapidly gathering in the
peura. The sounds OF the heart are
weak without any symptoms OF
valvular lesion. The pulse is easily
compressible and it has ninety pulsa-
tions instead of sixty-five, which IS
normal. The breathing is superficial
and at long intervals. The kidneys
are not performing their regular
functions. The state of his Holiness
is considered grave.

FOR SOMETHING IN THE SIDE

In his autobiography George Francis
Train says: my old grandmother smoked
what was known .niggerhead' tobacco
in little clay pipe. The pipes cost about
cent apiece. I used to cut up this
tobacco for her. But as she smoked she
lost no opportunity Of irnpressing upon me
the dreadfulness of the tobacco habit. I
made bold one day to ask her why it was
that she smoked and yet told me not to
smoke. She touched herself in the right
side and said: The doctor tells me to
smoke for some trouble here. But she
was a very lovely old lady and I would
never write or speak word that could
harm the dear memory of the mother OF
my mother. At this time. also. her father
was living. I remember the old gentleman
now. in his red cap. then wonder to me.
but which afterward became very familiar
in Cons antinople and the east as the
Turkish fez.s He was very aged. being
then well along in the eighties. Every
night 1 used to go up to his room and
make him toddy. He had the rare con-
sistency never to say anything to me
about the immortality of drinking nor did
I ever speak to him about the matter.
But one day l asked my grandmother
about this 'toddy.' She touched her left
side and said: 1t is something there"

y Student Depravity.

If, as is possible, the Wisconsin state
legislature shall trim the appropria-
lions for the university, because of the
revelat tons of low-grade student morals,
brought about by the downfall of Student
Atwater and the resignation of Instructor
Wheeler, the lesson will likely be a salu-
tary one, not only to Wisconsin but to all
universities. -a. -
( It is useless to deny that the proper
spirit does not prevail among considerable
portions of the student bodies Of all our
great universities. There is too much Of
affectation. Drinking, gambling, rude
ness and mob violence are too common.
A New Haven paper asserts that women
are not safe from insult in that CITY, so
ungentlemanly are Yale students, and the
New Haven chief of police has no better
opinion of the Yale undergraduates.
Just how these deplorable conditions are
to be remedied it is not easy to say.
Apron-string rules intended to keep the
boys in the right path will not do. Con-
til the moral tone and ideals of college
students change. These may be affected
by public Indignation and the influence Of
parents of college students.
A few more such revelations as we have
had from Yale and Wisconsin may lead
to a decided improvement in the stand
ards Of life at our universities.

having been SO long and faithfully served
by the assistants at present employed,
reduction. 49,
1t is generally conceded that those who
take charge of the duties of d public
library shall have special training and fit
ness for the work; that such work de-
mands fully as careful study, preparation
and general culture as the profession of
teaching in our schools and colleges.
Let the aim rather be to employ in our
public libraries only those who are so
fitted, and keep up the standard of wages
to the proper point.
The public demands and appreciates
efficient service at the public libraries
and would gladly see an increase in sal
aries of those now employed. rather than
any decrease in salaries which are al
ready too small
We think there has been no cause to
complain Of the service offered by our
librarians, but rather cause for words of
sincere appreciation of their efficient work
and service.
l trust that the present year. which
has seen a decided increase in salaries of
city officials, will see no discrimination
made in the case of an institution which
should be the pride Of our city.

Nom Residents Hunting License,

To the Editor of The Journal:
Permit me to occupy a little of your
valuable space to correct what I believe
to be an erroneous impression on the part
of your informant, in regard to the con-
templated charge of $50 for residents
to hunt in Minnesota. I was at the meet
ing held in st. Paul by the local chapter
of the League of American Sportsmen
and my understanding Of the matter was
that the charge was to be recommend
ed as $40; that was what was contem-
plated at that meeting. That is all that
I would be in favor Of and all that the
board of game and fish commissioners
would favor. We don't want to drive the
nonresident hunter from the state, be-
cause as a class of citizens they are very
desirable and with few exceptions are
law abfd1ng. At my suggestion there will
be incorporated in the law during the
coming session a clause permitting non
residents, after they have properly taken
out their licenses in this state, to take
some of their game home with them ]
think that is nothing but just and that
clause alone will bring a great many more
hunters to the state, who will buy their
outfits and spend their money when thew
know they can have the privilege of tax
ing home with them, fifty birds and two
deer.
We have also Incorporated in the new
law which we propose to introduce the
coupon system. as they have it in Wiscon-
sin, which will do away With the annoy
ance Of shipping.
Hoping that 7 II e J urna will make
this public, remain. Very truly yours
