COEDS DON'T MARRY
REMARKABLE RECORD OF THE
 BOSTON UNIVERSITY.
Only Twenty-one Couples from a Methodist College Have Welded in Thirty Years-Theories, Learned Romantic and oth- erwise, to Account for
 Situation.

Boston special.
 A new phase of the marriage question has been discovered at Boston Univer- sity. the big Methodist co-educational institution here. In the past thirty years a period during which women have had equal advantages at this college with men, only twenty-one couples have been married from among the young men and women graduated from the College of Liberal Arts.
 This has given rise to the question as to whether coeducation is conducive to matrimony among the students gradu- ated from the same institution. Boston University has 25O attractive young wo- men studying in its classical department, and 150 young men.
 Since women have been allowed to take degrees at this institution 95S have com pleted the college course and about 1000 men have gone forth bearing sheepskins. The popular idea has been that many engagements result from daily meetings of men and women students in the reel tation rooms, on the campus and at the college gatherings of a social nature but the statistics of Boston University clearly disprove this notion.
 Dean Huntington was greatly surprised when he consulted the books and found that only twenty-one couples had been married and he expressed himself as be- ing greatly pleased with the showing.

HUMoR Or THa RnyoIurroN.
A Colombian General Who Would
 Not Fight Without Milk in His ts Coffee,

The Colombian revolution. although so terrible in it's results, was not without ftu humorous features. writes Thomas S Alexander in the January Worlds Work. one of the funniest of these was the Incident of the general who would not light without his milk General Perez was fin command of the government troops at Cali. One day news arrived that the Liberals had captured a nelxh- boring town. Perez was ordered to start with his army at seven o'clock next morning to attack them. He went to the barracks, made a patriotic speech tu the soldiers, and told them to parade at the appointed hour. Then he sauntered into the Hotel America, Calls finest restau- rant, and ordered coffee for 6:S0 in the morning.
 The troops were lined up at that hour outside the hotel. and the General strVst- ed to and fro. waiting for his coffee ana telling everybody what terrible things he was going to do to the enemy. But a complication arose. Perez had not been a general long. but he wanted milk in his coffee, whereas nine Colombians o.aa of ten are content with black cofHee. There was no milk. The COWS ara kap3 three or four hours journey out Of town. and, of course, milk cannot be kept over night in that tropical climate. The hcEeA folk figured that the milk could not ar~ rive before eleven o'clock
 The General funed and fretted. Some of his officers suggested that he had bet ter start without the milk, or the enemy would escape; but he said 1t was impos- Mble to fight on black coffee. He sent q solNier post haste to fetch the milk and then another after him to hurry him up. Meanwhile the army stood in the brpil- ing sun for hours, awaiting the order te march. It was nearly noon when tha messengers returned.
 ''No milk" they reported.
 "Caramba! Then won't march till to. morrow"
 And the General dismissed his men and would not go until next morning, after his cafe au Iait. Of course, when ha reached his destination the Liberals had flown, and he was deprived of his gIo- rious victory by miserable spoonful of milk.

You see" he said, "the students are so absorbed in their work. and it takes so much of their time, that there is little opportunity in the school for the mind to do more than attend to the plain du- ties of the institution. won't say famil- iarity breeds contempt. but seeing each other every day Is not conducive to mat rimony always. Matrimony and educa- ton are not so closely allied as the pub- lie imagines in coeducational institu- tions."
 One of the men students at the college gave his views of the situation in this way:
 Well. I guess they see too much of each other for one thing. and then the fellows. as a whole, don't care particu- Iarly to hang around lot of girls after their class work is done. There are a few fellows who, will do 1t, but they are very few. They get to know each others s peculiarities too well, and don't believe girl cares constantly to associate with a man who knows her peculiarities any more than fellow does with a girl who knows his.
 Another thing: In Boston University conditions are q little different probably from most coeducational institutions There are no dormitorles. and the girls board around in different parts of the city. just as girls who work in a store or anywhere else. Most of the girls live at home with relatives or friends.
 This. of course, gives each girl her own circle of outside acquaintances, just as any other girl may have in any other walk of life Her social obligations and enjoyments are usually confined to this circle of outside aequaintances. and the men in the university mean nothing to l.av that thoNr honRAV, fO ha suing a similar course of studies a few hours a day.
 This, perhaps. is most noticeable whenever there happens to, be some so- cial function for both the male and fe- male students, such as the Klatsch Col legium. Almost invariably you will find that the young women of the school have brought some outsider to the func- ton.
 It may be a Harvard man, a man from Tufts or some young man from the social set in which she lives. Very few of the young men students are seen in company of the college young women on such occasions.
 T sometimes think, too. that there ts a little bit of feeling of antagonism be- tween the two classes of students where the women outnumber fhe men, as they do in Boston University. The women monopolize about all the society honors and this does not please the men.
 Then another thing, the men students are not, as a general thing, of the age or type to care to hang around girls and cultivate an intimate acquaintance.
 Smith College and Holyoke College are both near Amherst. You would nat urally suppose that whenever there is a social function at either of these wo- mems colleges, such as the glee club con cert at Holyoke, or the junior promenade at Smith. the men would be invited over from Amherst. On the contrary. you find probably more Harvard and Yale men at either of these functions than from

AN uNAvERTED TRAGEDY.
cheerfulness and Cupid Abandoned
 Beautiful Creature to Her Fate.

cheerfulness and Cupid Abandoned
 Beautiful Creature to Her Fate. Tom Mason in Puck.
 Vanity, Cheerfulness and Envy once on time fell in and. although the reia- tions between them were not always so harmonious as might be. they journeyed on for some time together.
 By-and-by. as they travelled along the highway. they saw a beautiful girl in the distance, weeping.
 Hurry on. said Cheerfulness, land let us relieve this poor creature. She is weeping because there is no one to love her"
 There Is no hurry" said Vanity. Don't you know that all vain things come to those who wait?"
 Cheerfulness, however, paid no atten- ton, but went forward swiftly to where the maiden sat and tenderly wiped her eyes and bade her smile
 'If you wish to be loved" said Cheer fuiness, you must appear to be hap py."
 Vanity and Envy now came along.
 Shall we have anything to do with herr" said Envy to Vanity.
 T will If you will," said Vanity. "of course, if she wishes to be loved, one of Us alone will not be able to help her. If sne is only vain she will be too much satisfied with herself But If she is en- vious, too, this will stimulate her to do her best. while vanity will give her that confidence so necessary to win
 Al right" said Envy. ''Let help her out" @ ,s.'
 cheerfulness, thsreupon, laughed and withdrew.
 T was ready" she said, ''to comfort that young lady, but I've had enough of your company, my friends, so I will go on alone"
 And she journeyed on.
 The young girl, left alone with only Vanity and Envy, did not weep again. She did not care to make her eyes red.
 While she sat, in a brown study, stir red by new feelings that she never had before, Avarice. Ambition and Snobblsh- ness came along.
 "Hello!" said Avarice. Here's Envy and Vanity with a new subject. Just the place for us three! She's beautiful. too!' So they stopped and joined the others. Avarice set her teeth together with de- sire; Ambition swelled her breast with energy; Snobbishness set her eyes in scorn, while Envy and Vanity worked at her heart.
 Cupid, with his bow and arrows, about this time came along.
 When he saw a creature so beautiful m the naIias or such uesenerate crew, he stopped and signed.
 "AIas!" he cried. This thing of late years is happening altogether too often! I'm not a pessimist don't believe that the world Is growing worse. But it does seem as If these young girls of ours sometimes deserved a better fate. I haven't the slightest doubt in the world that this beautiful maiden will within a year be a leading member of the best society and marry a millionaire old enough to be her father"
 So saying. he shrugged his diminutive shoulders and passed on.

Amherst"
 How about wellesley7''
 Well. Harvard men have the calI at Wellesley and I'll bet there are more Harvard men married to Wellesley rfrls than the combined number of marriages among the graduates of any two coedu- cational institutions in the country.',
 How about Yale men?"
 T am not sure on that point. hut I think Smith. Holyoke and vassar cap- ture most of the Yale men"
 A young woman graduate of Boston tion thus: T think it's just human nature. The young women, for one thing, are at the
 romantic period of their lives, either con- sciously or unconsciously, and where | there Is little mystery there is little TO- nance.
 They do not care for the young men they see about them every day. Take | the marriage columns of the newspapers
 and look them over. In most of them you will find that the man lives in one town and the woman in another. There is no mystery in the person you see every day in the classroom. Or, take
 1t in country town: see the flutter of excitement strange young man will
 cause among the girls until the newness wears om-unth they nave sized him up, l to use a slang expression. e Furthermore. Boston University is
 run on the German system. That Is. the young women board around in different places and form their own circle of ae- quaintances in which their social inter- ests centre.
 "Yes, I think it is pure human nature.
 What is out of your reach or at a dis tance you want, and it is as true of men
 as it is of women. What Is within your reach. that you see much of every day. you don't care particularly for. Tn the case of Boston University it is like a big family. with similar feelings. The students will do everything under the sun for each other, but beyond that they seldom go.
 "One thing I observe. however. is that the percentage of graduates who marry from the graduate schools or after they leave the graduate schools. is much
 larger than in the College of Liberal Arts. This is after they have had some of the romance knocked out of them and have become more settled down in their minds. For instance. of the twenty-one young women who have graduated from the law school, five of them have mar ried men graduate from the same insti- tution.'

THE SUN THAT DIDN'T SET.

An Observation of the Attitude of
 Uncle Marcus Alonzo Hanna. Springfield Republican.
 Of one thing we may be sure. MT. Han na Is enjoying himself. He is not worry ing, It Is another who walks the floor while MT. Hanna sleeps. He likes the present situation much better than certain situations that could be imagined; and in all this Mir. Hanna is human. His feeling of placidity is in no respect inconsistent with loyalty to the President or to the party.
 Compare the present position of Mir. Hanna with that of . year ago, or even of six months. His sun seemed to be set ting. When President Mckinley passed from the scene many assumed that Mir. Hanna would shrink in power and impor- tance; and as time passed, with the fap- idly expanding popularity of Mir, Roose- welt. their forecast apparently was being

As development work goes on ir this mine rich bodies of ore are being uncovered Additional ore bins are being erected in order. to supply the new smelter at Douglas. The amount of ore that will be used from this time on will be more than double that used in the past but this will cause the company no uneasiness as there is ore enough blocked out at the pres ent to run the smelters for five years, and new ore bodies are being uncoy- cred as the work of development goes on. New prospecting shafts are being started on different portions of this property and new machinery Is being constantly added in order to prosecute the work in thorough and economic manner. The stock in the company is TOW selling for s2o0 per share. One year and a half ago it was sell Ing for $10 per share which shows a handsome profit for those who got in on the ground floor. It will not be long after the new smelter is blown in before the stockholders will be re- ceiving good fat dividends every month and then the confidence in the camp will be more than doubled There are $50 men employed at this mine and the number Is being con-

WEEKLY RESUME OF THE WAR
 REIN DISTRICT.

Persons living in Bisbee and who never get out through the Warren dis trict, can have no conception of the amount of work going on or the amount of money that has been ex- pended during the last few months in mining machinery. Immense amounts of lumber have already been used in the construction of buildings and for shaft timbering. The livery stables are doing good business these days renting horses and rigs to prospectors who are looking for some piece of ground that might have been overlooked, but it is only in rare in stances that any is found, and then it is only a small fraction. The country is thoroughly located, from the Sandy Bob ranch in the Tombstone canyon to the Mexican line and now nearly all the ground in and around the Dixie canyon is being located.
 The mining reporter of The Review visited a number of the mines and prospects in the Warren district dur ing the past week, and below are a few of his impressions as result of the visit:
