One group of children from one of the orphan asylums were fitted out with gray hats with red polka dot silk handkerchiefs about them, and each of the girls marched in line and thanked MT Bal lerstein for his kindness. These were the only expressed thanks for the oc- casion, although all the girls were happy in the possession of their new millinery.

Disease Afdictin@ MazatIan Grows
 More Virulent. MAZATLAN, Mexico, Jan. 2.-There is no longer the slightest doubt that the disease now affiicting this city is gen hine Asiatic plague, for microscopic in Kestigation proves that bubonic pest baciIli are in the blood of those afflicted with the disease.
 The plague has grown virulent with In the last forty-eight hours, and the alarm, which had begun in some meas ure to abate, has returned with in- creased strength. The people are flee ing from the city at the rate of 300 per day, and some 5000 persons have gone already.
 It is a remarkable fact that more 2khan 30 per cent of the persons at tackled are women.
 The news of the presence of the plague at this port has reached the interior towns of the state and is caus- ing a panic. Sanitary cordons of armed men have been placed around the towns to prevent the entrance of any one from this place.

President Harper of Chicago Universi-
 ty Defines His Position.
 Chicago, Jan 2.-In the current issue of the University Record President Harper of the University of Chicago Adetines his ideas of segregation. He says in part: 'Erhe policy proposed the continuation of the separtion which has already taken place ill chapel assembly, with possibly an en- tension in the matter ot division lec- lures. It permits co-instruction in ethose courses offered to junior college students for which the registration is not sufficiently large to warrant divis- Ion on an economical basis. For exam pie, at the present time one-third of all the courses offered to junior college students, roughly speaking, will be of fered to men, one-third to women, and one-thfrd open to both men and wo- men. It would mean that, as the members increased, the number of courses retained as co-instructional on grounds of economy would be dimin- ished. The plan makes necessary the provision of separate class rooms and laboratories"
