William l.. Morgan one of the soldiers

escape from drowning, Saturday after
noon. The story, as told by those con-
cerned, is to the effect that Morgan
and q companion named Alright, also
IL soldier, came down the river in a
row boat, which they made fast to one
: of the wharves and left it. In some way
they forgot about the boat and it was
not until they were back at the arsenal
that it was again thought of. They
then started to swim across to the boat
Alright reached the boat all right, but
Morgan became exhausted when within
about 80 yards of the boat and was
rescued by Alright

The Atlantic's notable series of papers
commenting upon the larger factors in
the life of the American citizen OF today
offers IN thoe November number an essay
to which the eminence OF the author
attaches peculiar significance, President
Charles w. Eliot on The School. Presi-
dent Eliot has always been exceptionally
successful III freeing himself from ped
agogic cant, and in viewing educational
problems with profound and independent
insight. In this paper, he points out
some of the chief tasks which lie before
the school of this generation in extremely
suggestive fashion, and also writes Of the
part played by the school in family and
national life with many novel points OF
view. 1t is a paper which must be read
by all persons professionally interested in
the educational theory, as well as by all
parents of children of school age-for the
latter class, indeed, the paper will be par
ticularly valuable.

''First-That said statements of Prof.

"Second-That such statements are I'M

ing and humiliating to Southern Anglo
Saxon manhood and womanhood.
"Third-That such an attitude assumed
by a Professor in Trinity College will
bring the Institution into disrepute cur

"Fourth-That Prof. Bassett is not a
suitable and satisfactory model after
which to mould the sentiments and de-

''Fifth-That Prof. Bassett has assumed
an attitude hostile to Southern traditions

Sixth-That he has forfeited all claim
upon the esteem, confidence and patron

The New York Times says that if Mr.
Anthony Hope had never written "The
Dolly Dialogues Mr.. Eyre might never
have written 1.-The Trifier," but 1t is kind
enough to add that che has not been a

The truth is that while some parts re-
mind you of 1.-The Dolly Dialogues and

ton CT 1.-The Trifler." Mr.. Eyre has writ
ten a book that is altogether unusual and
free from what you expect in the modern
novel. The story hinges on the hero's
laudable endeavor to regain a packet OF
love-letters written by his Sister-in-law
before her marriage to his older brother.
The adventures which befall him in his
attempt to secure these semi compromising
epistles from a young fellow who proves
to be veritable scoundrel, are laughable
in the extreme. In the midst of this trou-
BILE he is swept into a wild political cam
paign, and, simultaneously, into a love
affair. His desire to withdraw from the
scenes of the election as well as from the
neighborhood of the girl he does not love,
is set forth most humorously.
The incidents and situations follow one
another in such rapid succession, that the
reader marvels at the authors inventive
genius. A climax of no little power is
finally reached, and one tragic note is
struck.
